Practice begins with immortality

Somewhere deep in the snowy plains, at this very moment, a vast cyan curtain of light existed. Outside, the wind howled, the cold biting, and all around was silent, but inside, it was calm.

"This formation is formed by the combined strength of all of us who are left. I believe it should be able to help us avoid that thing." A man in green clothes held the formation plate tightly in both hands and said solemnly to the other two men in black clothes beside him.

As soon as the words fell, someone eagerly asked, "Excuse me, as the prince's confidants, do you know where the prince is right now? And why has he come here?" The person who spoke was one of the group led by the old man surnamed Gu. At this moment, the dozen or so people, including the old man surnamed Gu, all had stern expressions on their faces and slowly surrounded the two men in black.

Faced with the crowd's questioning and the surrounding situation, one of the men in black couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he still forced himself to remain calm and responded bravely: "Everyone, what do you mean? You must know that those who eat the emperor's salary should be loyal to the emperor. Receiving the master's grace, it is natural to be loyal and serve the master. The prince has been very kind to you all!"

However, the black-clad man's words did little to quell the crowd's anger and doubts. Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "It's true. Recipients of the Lord's grace owe us all due loyalty. However, we've all endured countless hardships and struggled our way to reach this True Immortal realm. We simply don't want to lose our lives in such a muddled way!" These words, like a stone stirring a thousand waves, drew echoes from the surrounding crowd.

"Yup!"

"What you said is absolutely true."

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two men in black, waiting for them to give a reasonable explanation.

Seeing this, the two men in black exchanged glances, their hearts brimming with anxiety. After all, there were nearly a thousand immortals and dozens of True Immortals on the scene, all packed together like a powder keg. If they weren't careful, they could become the fuse. With so many people attacking at once, they would definitely die.

After a brief silence, one of them sent a telepathic message to the other, saying, "Brother Kun, now that it has come to such a critical juncture, we should just tell them everything we know!"

Hearing this, the other person showed helplessness on his face, sighed softly and said: "Well, since things have developed to this point, there is really no other way, so just tell me the truth." After that, the two exchanged glances, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Then, they began to talk about what they knew in an orderly manner, telling us everything they knew.

Finally, "As far as we know, the prince offered a nationwide reward for the secrets of ancient history. It is very likely that there is a great opportunity hidden in this snowy plain that can help someone break through to the realm of the three calamities in one fell swoop."

However, before everyone could recover from the shock of these words, another person added: "But we don't actually know what this so-called great opportunity is. In fact, these are just our own speculations." At this point, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the man's face.

"Although we two are the prince's personal guards, there are differences in status even among his confidants. Not to mention what the prince really thinks, even Tianying, whom he trusts the most, probably knows very little." The man continued to explain.

"Furthermore, Tianying was implicated in the previous incident in the ice pit and died on the spot."

When the last sentence was uttered, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavier.

"So, we're dragged into a fight between powerful men just because of a guess?!"

"……Yes."

"Damn it! Isn't this courting death?" someone shouted. "Judging from the earth-shattering fluctuations just now, the people fighting are extremely powerful. Even if we put our combined strength together, we wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow!"

"This is definitely a fight between the three calamities! When their fight is over, it will probably be our death!"

"What can I do? I still have a bright future!"

"Brother Qingyi, can we rely on the formation..."

"Forget about it, just wait for death! The gap is too big! There's no point in hiding. A True Immortal of the Three Tribulations can instantly turn everything within a million miles into nothingness."

...........................

For a moment, some people were angry, some were unwilling, some were hoping for luck, and some were desperate.

The Three Tribulations True Immortals, the pillars of this world, stood firm against the sky. Facing the sky, how could they possibly survive? They could only pray that the other party would spare their lives.

Half an hour later.

"It looks like everyone's gathered here." Following this whisper, a figure appeared outside the screen. Upon closer inspection, it was Wang Bo, transformed into Ling Tianshuang! His stern face exuded an invisible pressure that sent shivers down one's spine.

"I want to usurp the throne and completely occupy the ancient country of Sui Han. These people in front of me can help me dispel the suspicions of the royal family and Bingji Palace. However, even if they really have suspicions, they probably dare not point it out! I am not afraid of the Bingji Palace. It's just that things will be very troublesome if that happens." Wang Bai thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Bai raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and extended his thumb. In the next instant, a dazzling golden light shot out from his fingertips, streaking through the sky like a bolt of lightning, hurtling straight towards the formation ahead. With a loud bang, the seemingly indestructible shield shattered instantly under this blow, breaking into countless fragments that scattered across the ground.

This golden light was none other than the Yuanling Sword. Previously, when Wang Bai had withdrawn the Yuanling Xu'e Sword into his right arm, he discovered that his hand could become a sword, his five fingertips emitting incredibly powerful Yuanling Sword light and Xu'e Sword Qi. From then on, Wang Bai could wield the Yuanling Xu'e Sword openly and honestly. Even if others saw him, they would mistakenly believe it was just some powerful killing move Wang Bai had mastered.

"coming!"

Seeing that the formation had been broken, everyone in the formation became worried.

However, "Isn't this gentleman the ancestor of our ancient country Sui Han? I have seen his portrait in the royal capital!" Someone was overjoyed and sent a telepathic message to the people around him.

"This is so great!"

Hearing this, most people were overjoyed. After all, the ancestor was one of their own. How could he kill someone from his own country?
