Chapter 681

After the five of them worked together to block this round of attacks, their faces turned even paler and the number of wounds on their bodies increased once again.

The terrifying formation made the five of them fearful. However, they could neither advance nor retreat in the middle of the formation. Just like that, after enduring another two rounds of attacks, the fear in their eyes had reached its peak. If this continued, the only thing that awaited them was death.

"Young friend Zi Chen, please show mercy. We are here to congratulate you on opening the pavilion. We just entered the formation by mistake."

"Young friend Zi Chen, this is just a misunderstanding. We just entered the formation by mistake. Are you going to kill us?"

The five of them finally put down their pride. Although they were not begging for mercy, they had lowered their heads. However, to protect their dignity, their words were still firm.

In mid-air, Lv Peng laughed coldly. His goal was to beat the five of them until they lost their temper and dignity. Now that he heard that they were still firm in their words, he naturally would not show mercy and launched another fierce attack.

Even those who had surpassed the Core Essence realm had to lower their heads in the formation. The expressions of the cultivators from the major factions changed instantly and they no longer dared to underestimate the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion.

"Zi Chen, this is a misunderstanding. It's really a misunderstanding. We just entered by mistake."

"Stop quickly. If you continue, we will die."

Amidst the rumbling, an extremely panicked voice was heard from the formation. The five people who had surpassed the Core Essence realm had completely lost their minds. It was obvious that they could not hold on in the formation any longer.

After Zi Chen transmitted his voice, Lv Peng stopped attacking. As he formed another seal, the energy in the formation retreated like a tide. This energy returned to the ley lines. The spiritual energy that was previously extremely dense also gradually thinned and returned to its original state.

In the sky, a white fog began to surge. A tunnel appeared in the formation that led directly to the Heavenly Barbarian Hall. At the entrance of the Heavenly Barbarian Hall, Zi Chen and the other leaders had all walked out.

Outside the Inheritance Hall, the group of Core Essence realm cultivators raised their heads and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Barbarian Hall. The shock on their faces did not disappear for a long time. At that moment, they were thinking about what Wu Liu had said to them before they entered.

Do not barge into the formation. You will die.

Previously, there were still a few people who were extremely disdainful. However, now that they saw with their own eyes that the formation had almost killed five existences that surpassed the Core Realm, they could only rejoice in their hearts.

He was glad that he didn't try to show off earlier.

Five existences that had surpassed Core Essence walked out of the passageway and arrived in front of the Heavenly Barbarian Hall. Their clothes were tattered, and there were wounds all over their bodies. Their hair was disheveled, and they looked like beggars on the roadside.

"Zi Chen was unaware of the arrival of the Seniors. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you." Zi Chen cupped his hands towards the five people and bowed slightly.

He didn't mention the matter of the formation and only said that he didn't welcome them. Obviously, he did it on purpose. Regarding this, the five of them were filled with anger. Moreover, they had almost died in the formation just now. They were really sullen.

But now that they were out, without the threat of the formation, this place had become their world. Even though they were injured, they were still the strongest existences in the Bedlam.

"Hmph."

One of the old men snorted coldly. He looked at Zi Chen and was about to say something ruthless. However, his sleeve was secretly pulled by the person beside him.

The originally tattered sleeve was torn apart with a slight tug, revealing the slightly pale skin inside.

The old man's expression changed. He was about to fly into a rage when suddenly, a voice rang out in his Sea of Consciousness. "Don't be impulsive. Look above you first."

After the voice transmission, the old man raised his head and saw the plaque above his head. The three large words that were emitting colorful light were so dazzling to the eyes.

Seeing these three words, the old man's expression changed. He looked at the other four and found that they were already tidying their clothes and trying to act as if nothing had happened.

"It's fine, it's fine. We didn't inform you before coming here. We wanted to give you a surprise, Zi Chen. Who would have thought that we would mistakenly enter the formation. Haha, I have to say, this formation is really powerful," the old man from the Shangguan Family said with a faint smile on his face.

"Yeah, it was supposed to be a surprise. Who would have thought that such a misunderstanding would occur. Haha, it's really self-defeating," the other three old men said with a smile.

"It's indeed a misunderstanding." The old man who was about to fly into a rage changed his attitude instantly.

The five people's attitude made Zi Chen sneer in his heart. He thought that it was just as Old Gui said. After seeing the plaque, they might not have the courage to attack him. Now that they were in such a state, they naturally wouldn't dare to have any bad ideas.

"Senior, you must be joking. It's Zi Chen's fault that I didn't come out to greet you." Zi Chen smiled and invited them into the palace.

The group of Elixir realm cultivators who were going to visit the Inheritance Palace also flew over at this moment. Then, the group of cultivators bowed to the five people.

The five people looked like beggars, but the Elixir realm cultivators didn't dare to show any disrespect.

"Why are you all here? What are you going to do?" Seeing that everyone was here, the old ancestor of the Shangguan Family asked.

"Old ancestor, today, Pavilion Master Zi Chen opened the Treasure Pavilion and the Inheritance Palace to us. After opening our eyes in the Treasure Pavilion, we are going to visit the Inheritance Palace." Shangguan Feixiong replied respectfully.

"The Treasure Pavilion."

"Yes, the Treasure Pavilion of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion is really amazing," Shangguan Feixiong added.

Before Shangguan Feixiong could go into detail, a cultivator next to him spoke. Everyone began to talk at once and revealed most of the items in Zi Chen's treasury.

"Oh, there is such a thing. It seems that Zi Chen really has a deep foundation. The few of us are envious and want to see it for ourselves," an old ancestor said. Obviously, he was very moved.

"The Treasure Pavilion only has those things. They have pretty much said everything. There is nothing else to see. If senior is willing, you can go to the Inheritance Palace to take a look. You can also give some pointers," Zi Chen said with a smile.

"That's a good suggestion. We won't go to the Main Hall. Let's go to the Inheritance Palace with everyone and broaden our horizons."

"Senior, you must be joking. It's just some things that we don't need. We just want to encourage others to work hard. Since senior wants to see it, then Zi Chen will personally lead everyone there."

Zi Chen said with a smile. After a nod, he led everyone to the Inheritance Palace.

"Yue 'er, Bing Xi, you guys are here. That's great. Come to me," the old ancestor of the Shangguan Clan said with a smile when he saw Shangguan Yue' er and Shangguan Bing Xi flying over from afar.

"Old ancestor, what happened to you? Were you beaten up?"

Shangguan Bing Xi giggled. Then, she and Shangguan Yue 'er went forward and held the old ancestor's arms.

"Sigh, I'm old. I'm not as young as you guys."

After failing to show off, and knowing that his strength was no match for that ancient beast, the five old ancestor level existences began to have thoughts of roping him in. The Shangguan Clan's old ancestor's actions were the most obvious. Furthermore, Shangguan Yue 'er and Bing Xi both had a close relationship with Zi Chen. Thus, his actions showed that he was quite pleased with himself.

At the entrance of the Inheritance Palace, Wang Shan used his token to open the array. In a flash of light, a spacious passage appeared.

After everyone walked through the passage, they saw an old figure at the end of the passage.

"Old Gui, I'll bring everyone to visit the Inheritance Palace." Zi Chen went forward and bowed.

Old Gui nodded. Then, he glanced at the five old ancestors behind Zi Chen. Under this gaze, the five of them trembled. Sure enough, their strength had only improved a little, but the old ancestor had already broken through.

The difference in strength between the two sides was even greater.

"This is Old Gui, the Supreme Elder of our Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. He's now in charge of guarding the Inheritance Palace." Zi Chen turned around and explained to everyone.

The group of cultivators bowed to Old Gui. The five experts also cupped their hands in greeting with humble smiles on their faces.

"Go ahead."

Old Gui said lightly. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared in front of them.

Everyone followed Zi Chen into the Inheritance Palace. Moreover, this place was guarded by an existence that surpassed the Core Realm. They were even more curious about the inheritance inside.

This time, the tour of the Inheritance Palace took them a full two hours. The Inheritance Palace was like the Treasure Pavilion. It was divided into four floors, not three like what Wang Shan had said.

After everyone came out, the shocked expressions on their faces did not disappear for a long time. The cultivators who had mocked Wang Shan and said that there was no need to look at the Sword and Saber Inheritance were even more ashamed.

This was because on the fourth floor, Zi Chen's strongest inheritance, was the Sword and Saber Inheritance. The Saber Technique was carved on a stone wall. Zi Chen dug it up by the roots. Even though it was separated by a formation, the sharp Saber Qi was enough to make people's expressions change.

Moreover, this was not an ordinary Saber Technique. It was an ancient Saber Technique that was very powerful.

As for the Sword Technique, it was even more bizarre. There were a few stone tablets, and each of them had the word "Sword" on it. This seemingly ordinary stone tablet was placed on the fourth floor, which made everyone very confused. However, when the five old ancestors saw it, their expressions changed drastically. They even lost their composure.

Something that even those who had surpassed the Core Realm lost their composure was naturally not an ordinary item. Moreover, one of the old ancestors had asked about the origin of the stone tablet.

Zi Chen replied with a smile. He had dug it out from the depths of the Ancient Battlefield. However, no one had fully understood it yet.

Naturally, the items taken out from the Ancient Battlefield were not ordinary. Just as everyone was thinking that Zi Chen was lucky, the old ancestor spoke again. This time, he said that he wanted to buy it at all costs.

Other than the friendship of the overlord forces, he also wanted to owe them a favor. Moreover, he had offered a sky-high price. However, Zi Chen had rejected him.

When everyone came out, they still felt dizzy. The Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's foundation seemed to be terrifyingly powerful. Not only the Treasure Pavilion, but even the Inheritance Hall had items that the overlord forces were interested in.

After coming out, Zi Chen did not give the old ancestors a chance to talk. He used the excuse that he had something to deal with and left with the others. He left behind the five old ancestors who were extremely dissatisfied.

It was less than two days before the opening of the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion. However, many forces seemed to be absent-minded. This was because they were all thinking about the auction that Wang Shan had mentioned.

Other than that, many Core Realm cultivators also requested to meet Zi Chen alone. However, before they met him, they were always accompanied by a charming lady with seductive eyes.

Obviously, they had been bewitched by Wang Shan.

Two days later, the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion opened under the witness of many influential forces in the Chaotic Lands.
