Chapter 53: Daring to Defy Heaven

  At this moment, Wang Xuanyang has already directed his spiritual power to detect the ore in the sand pit. He is also bold and daring, as these exotic treasures have automatic defensive capabilities even without anyone urging them on. Moreover, the ore and the treasure sword seem to be in a state of activation, making it even more dangerous.

  Moreover, there is also a three-eyed sand beast present.

  However, as he approached, he found that the three-eyed sand snake had no reaction to his spiritual power. Apparently, the three-eyed sand snake was not sensitive to human spiritual power.

  It gave him a shock.

  As his spiritual power approached the red mineral with a sword inserted within a foot, there was an indescribable scorching sensation that seemed to burn away all of his spiritual power. What was most terrifying was that amidst this scorching sensation, there was actually a terrifying sword intent. This sword intent was very ethereal, yet majestic and awe-inspiring, seemingly capable of annihilating everything.

  This is absolutely not at the level of sword intent, but rather at the level of sword momentum or even higher, at the level of sword spirit.

  In the cultivation of swordsmanship, the martial artist who cultivates the sword is in no way inferior to the one who cultivates the sword's intent. The only thing lacking is that the foundation of the true qi is not as robust as that of the symbol cultivator.

  He hastily withdrew his spiritual power back.

  On the scene, many protesters also suffered similar situations.

  "I wonder, if I were to transmit my spiritual energy into quicksand, what would happen?"

  Wang Xuanyang's heart moved, and he immediately took action.

  To avoid getting hurt again, Wang Xuanyang was very cautious and careful.

  However, when his spiritual power approached the mine and the treasure sword within a foot from the quicksand, that scorching feeling and the oppressive feeling of the sword's will did not appear.

  "Is it that beneath this quicksand, the power of the ore and the treasured sword has been suppressed?"

  He recalled the resistance of the quicksand layer and suddenly had some speculations.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, his spiritual power gradually approached, without any unusual changes, and finally, his spiritual power had already come into contact with the mineral body.

  The part of this ore buried in quicksand is slightly larger than the exposed one, but overall it should be an irregular elliptical shape.

  Moreover, he also detected that the three-eyed sand snake's body was hidden in the quicksand, almost surrounding that piece of ore.

  This three-eyed sand snake seems to be very fond of this ore.

  Suddenly, Wang Xuan Yang's spiritual power discovered a faint red glow seeping out of the ore and merging into San Yan Liu Sha's body.

  Isn't this three-eyed sand snake actually absorbing the power of the red ore?

  No wonder this three-eyed sand snake is guarding the red ore, it turns out to be like this, it seems that this piece of red ore is more precious than I thought!

  Although he didn't know what this red ore was, Wang Xuan Yang couldn't wait to get it.

  "Right, can I use spiritual power to put this thing into the Heaven's Ring?"

  Wang Xuanyang suddenly had a move in his heart, asking Tianjie if he was a Sumi Nareck, and not just a simple Sumi Nareck. After all, there is the inheritance of Hunyuan Symbol Dao inside, which can be seen as extremely extraordinary.

  Put things into the storage ring, generally just use spiritual power to lock it up is enough.

  However, some treasures are not allowed and will resist spiritual power. To make them income, they must be stored in the Myna ring, which is much more difficult and also has distance restrictions.

  Thinking of this, he used his spiritual power to lock onto the ore and planned to send it into the Heaven-asking Ring.

  The ore just shook slightly and then was still.

  It seemed to have sensed the vibration of the red ore, and the three-eyed sand snake appeared to be startled, its body suddenly wriggling, wrapping the red ore even tighter.

  "No, it's a bit too far away. Moreover, this ore seems to have an unusual power that resists my spiritual force, and my spiritual force can't envelop the entire ore and the sword inserted into it. This makes it even more difficult, unless I get closer to the ore."

  Wang Xuanyang shook his head in his heart.

  He is now hundreds of meters away from the bottom of the sand pit, but the situation on the scene is complicated, with so many people, it's not easy to get close, and once a melee breaks out, with his current strength, he's likely to be killed instantly.

  Moreover, there is also a terrifying three-eyed sand snake. However, this is also an opportunity for oneself. Perhaps when the three-eyed sand snake and the various martial artists are fighting each other, one can take advantage of the situation.

  If it weren't for the three-eyed sand snake, I'm afraid the treasure in this pit would have been snatched away by others long ago. Would there even be a share left for me?

  King Xuan Yang withdrew his spiritual power and could only wait for an opportunity to act.

  "Xuanyang Shidi, you'd better retreat a bit further away. There are three-eyed sand snakes present. A big battle is likely to erupt soon. If things don't go well, you must hurry and flee far away, do you understand?"

  Fat Master took a deep breath, the three-eyed sand beast, and the ore at the bottom of the sand pit, as well as the precious sword, were all rare sights that couldn't be given up. He immediately instructed Wang Xuanyang beside him.

  He feared that Wang Xuanyang would lose his life due to carelessness, after all, Wang Xuanyang was the Peak Master's designated closed-door disciple and could not be lost.

  "Brother Pang, don't worry, I'll be careful."

  Wang Xuanyang responded with a sound and retreated towards the back.

  At this time, more and more symbol warriors gathered around the sand pit, but the vast majority were mid-level explosive hole symbol warriors and high-level martial artists. As for those who had exploded dozens of holes, they all watched from a distance, this kind of competition was not something they could participate in.

  Of course, there are also some fearless ones, eager to take action.

  In addition, some disciples of various Taoist sects have begun to gather together.

  Wang Xuanyang saw the Fat Master and several others heading towards the gathering place of the Wenwen Clan's disciples, where more than 20 mid-to-high-level Explosive Hole Symbol Masters had formed a group. As for the first-level Symbol Masters, there wasn't even one; three-star missions generally prohibited the participation of first-level Symbol Masters.

  This is not only the unspoken rule of the Symbolic Sect, but also a convention established by the major Symbolic Sect forces. Once there is a slight change in the Flowing Sand Sea, each faction can only send explosive hole symbol masters to participate.

  If it's a once-in-a-century major change, then they can send out strong masters at the level of Zunshi or above.

  It is said that the thousand-year change of the Flowing Sand Sea is only qualified for strong men above the symbol level to participate.

  Wang Xuanyang hid far away, using his spiritual power to sense the scene.

  In these sects, the two strongest are the Unspoken Symbol Sect and the Sword Symbol Sect.

  Twenty-eight disciples of the Zhonggong sect, including five high-level explosive hole masters and dozens of low-level explosive hole masters with more than 50 true holes. Among them, two people, Weng Shixiong and a gray-haired young man, are the leaders, as their cultivation is the highest, at least 250 holes above the explosive hole master.

  In the inner door of the Unspeakable Sect, there is a special inner door list that records the ranking of inner door disciples. Except for the true transmission disciples, ordinary inner door disciples, elite disciples and core disciples are all eligible to participate in the ranking war of the inner door list. Weng Shixiong's ranking on the inner door list is third, while another gray-clothed youth is also a top ten figure on the elite list.

  As for the other three senior Blasters, they were far inferior.

  The number of people in the Knife Sword Sect is slightly less than that of the Unspoken Sect, but there are as many as eight high-level Explosive Hole Symbol Masters, including the Ji Bu Ming who was met at the entrance of Liusha City.

  However, it's strange that among the eight high-level Explosive Hole Symbol Masters of the Knife Sword Symbol Sect, the leader is not one of them, but rather a white-clothed young man. This young man doesn't have a sword on his back or a knife, and his hands are empty, yet he carries himself with pride. Even that unruly bird, Jiū Bù Míng, is extremely obedient in front of this young man.

  This made many people suspect the identity of the white-clothed youth.

  These people of the Knife and Sword Sect are closest to the sand pit.

  In addition, several other major factions also have one or two high-level explosive hole mages, but they are much fewer in number.

  As for those small sects or scattered Taoist priests, there is not a single high-level explosive hole symbol master, and intermediate explosive hole symbol masters are already considered top-notch. However, this is normal, as these small sects and scattered Taoist priests have weak inheritances and cannot compare to the depth and resources of major sects.

  More and more people gathered around the pit, but no one made a move.
