Chapter 1366: Chapter 365: No One Throws the Game Like You Guys in Team Battles

The news of the Ascension Gate’s arrival quickly caught the attention of the surrounding cultivators.

The surrounding cultivators were originally just engaged in their cultivation.

One day, they suddenly noticed an additional mountain gate not far from their sect. Standing in their sect’s martial arts arena and gazing at this distant mountain peak, it gave them an inexplicable feeling, as they had no idea when this thing had appeared.

For a moment, discussions about this mystical mountain gate filled the ranks of the various sects.

Some said this sect had always existed, while others claimed it appeared overnight.

Yet others suggested it was an ancient sect from legend, for such a sect had never appeared before.

Otherwise, if it weren’t some ancient sect, it couldn’t suddenly appear next to Jiangnan without them noticing.

No matter what kind of sect it was, no one dared act rashly now; they only conversed within their sects.

Trying to figure out how to deal with such a suddenly appearing fellow cultivator.

"How did this sect appear, do you think?"

"No idea."

"I was absorbing the purple energy from the sky when I suddenly saw the silhouette of a mountain in the distance."

"So how big is this mountain?"

"Not too sure, but it’s far from us, yet we can see it, so it’s definitely larger than it looks!"

"Isn’t that stating the obvious? Don’t you understand that things appear smaller when they’re far away?"

"Oh come on, if you’re brave enough, go take a look inside that mountain."

"I’m not that brave, but whether it’s brave or not, I think the higher-ups should make some moves regarding this matter."

"What moves from the higher-ups? After knowing about this, they only discuss it behind the scenes."

"What? They haven’t said anything?"

"Nope."

"Because when such a thing appears, it’s certainly dangerous, and if not handled well, ancient sect elites might directly wipe us out. So it seems they’re planning to form a group to visit."

"Form a group to visit? I also want to see it sometime."

"It seems like it will be these few days, but it’s uncertain. Either this sect is very strong, or it might be a legendary treasure trove, but whatever it is, they’ll find out soon."

"So it doesn’t have much to do with us right now?"

"Definitely not."

"This kind of thing isn’t for us junior disciples to meddle in, surely it’s up to the sect leaders, grand elders, and elders to take a look. Many sect leaders have already started discussing it behind the scenes, and in one or two days they’ll finalize their approach, then shortly after we’ll know how they’ll handle it."

"Is that so... I really want to see it."

"If this place turns out to be a treasure trove from the ancient times, won’t it all be taken by those people? We wouldn’t even get a sip of the soup, so maybe some disciples will go directly there? As the saying goes, ’Fortune favors the bold, famine the timid.’

While these disciples gossip privately, just as they said, many sect leaders and grand elders have gathered together. They’ve prepared, knowing they must venture out to investigate whether it’s friend or foe.

Now they’ve embarked on sword control, heading in the direction of the Ascension Gate. They’re not far from the Ascension Gate, just a one or two hour journey, but once they fly up to its skies, they don’t dare cross above the sect’s premises.

In jest, such behavior is tantamount to provocation.

The current situation is quite rare; so many sect leaders, all with the strength of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages.

This group of sect leaders simply don’t dare enter such a sect, only watch from afar. But even from afar, they can’t discern the sect, as it is shrouded in a mist that obscures its contents.

After much effort to find the entrance to the Ascension Gate, they discovered those eight words.

"No visitors, no disciples."

Upon seeing these eight words, the sect leaders and grand elders felt awkward, standing at the foot of the sect, unable to enter or retreat.

What to do now? Should they really return empty-handed? Should they leave and pretend this never happened?

That wouldn’t be good, right?

After all, the sudden appearance of this sect warrants a thorough investigation, not to mention that if it says "no visitors," we can’t just follow that, in case it harbors ill intentions toward us. Surely we must prepare defenses in advance.
