"You mean to say that beneath that great river, there lies a hidden ruin?" pondered the Sect Master of the Yuanming Sect thoughtfully.
Although it sounded incredible, considering the origin of the great river, it indeed might be possible that a ruin existed there.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator nodded repeatedly, saying, "This is a Memory Stone that I obtained from those few Loose Cultivators who discovered the ruin; it indeed records a vast ruin."
The Sect Master took a look and found that it was indeed as he had said; at the bottom of the river was a ruin that seemed to have an extraordinary origin.
"I'll call all the fellow disciples and elders right now!" the Sect Master thought for a moment and then added, "And we must also invite Master Jiang to join us; that would be safer."
As the bell rang, a Communication Talisman was sent out, and in just a short while, the originally empty hall filled up with people.
"What's happened? Why has the Sect Master suddenly summoned everyone?" someone asked, not understanding the situation.
And when they saw Jiang Tianming arrive, their confusion grew even deeper, with some of the Foundation Establishment cultivators wondering if they were about to start a war with the Green Sword Sect.
"The reason I've called you all here is to announce a matter of great importance!" said the Sect Master, struggling to contain his excitement, "Down in that sudden river to the south, there lies an undiscovered ruin!"
"To avoid any complications that might arise if news of this gets out, I hope everyone can set out for the river right now to quickly break through its Formation and enter the ruin to seize the treasures within."
The Sect Master dispatched all the second-tier Array Masters of the Yuanming Sect, as well as the majority of the Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Once they had left, the vast Yuanming Sect was left with only about a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they were all of lower cultivation levels, not adept at fighting.
If the Green Sword Sect chose this moment to attack the Yuanming Sect, even if they could not annihilate the entire Yuanming Sect, they could certainly weaken its strength greatly.
Unfortunately, the Green Sword Sect was not aware of this news.
Jiang Tianming had already learned of the Sect Master's arrangement through the Communication Talisman, and immediately stood up, saying, "Let's go."
After he spoke, he led the Foundation Establishment cultivators arranged by the Sect Master towards the great river.
However, they made a point of stopping at the marketplace, as they still needed someone to help them find their way, and the person they sought for this task was Zhao Hu, the first to discover the ruin.
'A Golden Core cultivator!' As Zhao Hu boarded the Spirit Boat, he noticed the particularly conspicuous Jiang Tianming, whose condensed aura of authority, even when leaked unintentionally, filled Zhao Hu with dread.
As for the Loose Cultivators, they flew towards the great river without hesitation. If it were usual times, they would have been afraid of Yuanming Sect, but with so many Loose Cultivators acting together, they were not concerned about Yuanming Sect taking action.
Because Yuanming Sect could not, and dared not, slaughter so many Loose Cultivators, otherwise Yunping State could not maintain its current prosperity.
The instant the relic was made public, the Sect Master of Yuanming Sect was aware.
"Fools! They couldn't even manage such a trivial matter! What use is there for them in the Sect!" The Sect Master burst into a rage, grinding his teeth as he vented the fury in his heart.
Fortunately, the Sect Master was still rational, and after venting briefly, he immediately started to think about what to do next.
The relic could no longer be kept secret, so why not make it public and let the Cultivators enter, stirring the waters thoroughly, and then it would be a matter of each one's own ability.
Of course, in the current situation, Yuanming Sect also couldn't stop the Cultivators from other powers from entering the relic.
However, as the first power to discover and arrive at the relic, Yuanming Sect still had a certain advantage.
"Just don't know if Master Jiang and the others have managed to break the Formation of the relic?"
If they hadn't broken the Formation before other powers arrived, then everyone would be on the same starting line, with no advantages, depending only on their own strength.
And at this moment, Jiang Tianming and the others in front of the relic were simply unable to do anything about the Formation before them!
No matter if Jiang Tianming struck with all his might, or if they combined the power of everyone present, they could only slightly shake the Formation.
As for the second-tier Array Masters sent by Yuanming Sect, they hadn't even figured out the pattern of the Formation yet, and couldn't be relied upon for a quick solution.

Da Rong Island.
Li Zhirui, who was opening up Spirit Fields on Spirit Medicine Mountain, leading his clan members in casting spells to cultivate the fields, suddenly saw the Jade Token at his waist light up. He picked it up and saw, astonishingly, it was a message from Li Shize.
Not to mention the content, the mere sudden return of Li Shize was worthy of Li Zhirui's serious attention.
Not to mention that this time, the news Li Shize brought back was explosive!
"A relic?!" Li Zhirui murmured to himself before immediately flying towards the main hall, while summoning all the Elders on the island, including Li Shilian and the other two who did not attend regular meetings. This time, their attendance was mandatory.
