Saying such words was like pouring fuel onto the fire. The three sects exploded with rage, especially Chen Yunshan, whose face was distorted from fury.
A moment passed, and then Bai Xiaochun sighed and said, “Why aren’t any of you coming over? How about…. you all come together?! I’ll take you all on at once! What do you say…? Lord Bai is getting tired of waiting…. Ai, heroes are always so lonely. The scenery here is wonderful, what a pity none of you dare to come share it with me.”
With that, he grabbed another legacy seal.
Bai Xiaochun was used to calling out the numbers by now, so he yelled, “This is the fifty-ninth!”
After some thought, he was curious what it would be like even closer to the mountain, so he began to proceed forward again.
At the same time, the cultivators of the three sects realized that they couldn’t stay in their current positions safely, and began to move in the opposite direction.
Of course, a scene of similar madness could be seen outside of the legacy zone….
Some time earlier, the River-Defying Sect’s circle on the glowing screen had suddenly lit up.
Frigidsect, Crimsonsoul, and Master Godwind were immediately delighted. After all, that glowing light represented the honor of the whole sect. Based on how bright their glowing circle was compared to the other three sects, they were able to speculate that Bai Xiaochun had acquired a single legacy seal.
“Even one makes this whole thing worth it!” Crimsonsoul thought, tightening his hands into fists. Not too far away, the red-haired old man from the Starry River Court felt his heart suddenly tremble. He even frowned, although it only lasted for a moment.
“Congratulations, River-Defying Sect,” he said with a false smile. “You got lucky and managed to get a single legacy seal. However, luck will only carry you so far in–” Before he could finish speaking, the River-Defying Sect’s glowing circle suddenly got a bit brighter. Then, only moments later, it brightened again. Soon, it was brighter than the Starry River Court’s circle.
The Nascent Soul patriarchs from the other three sects were shocked, especially those from the Starry River Court.
“How is this possible?!”
The three patriarchs from the River-Defying Sect were also astonished, and exchanged incredulous glances.
The red-haired old man’s expression was extremely unsightly, and rage could be seen flickering in his eyes. All of a sudden, he felt as if the disciples he had sent into the legacy zone were completely useless. Even as he began to feel regret in his heart, the River-Defying Sect’s glowing circle got even brighter!
There were no rumbling sounds, but everyone felt as if their minds were crashing with thunder. The River-Defying Sect’s glowing circle was getting brighter with indescribable speed. A moment later, and it surpassed the Polarity River Court!
The Nascent Soul Daoist masters from the Polarity River Court couldn’t prevent their expressions from flickering.
Moments later, the River-Defying Sect surpassed the Dao River Court. The white-haired old man took a step forward to stare more closely at the glowing circles. Everyone had looks of madness overtaking their faces.
The brightness of the River-Defying Sect’s glowing circle was increasing so dramatically that it completely exceeded the imaginations of all present!

367: Living Mountain Incantation!
It was so bright that it was almost painful to look at, as if it were the only light which existed. Even the light from the other three sects combined was completely and utterly crushed by it.
“W-what’s… what’s going on!?!?”
“Don’t tell me that all of the legacy seals are being taken by only one person from the River-Defying Sect?!”
“Impossible!!”
“Heavens, even when the Dao River Court took first place last time, the light wasn’t this bright. How… how many legacy seals does that represent?” The Nascent Soul experts from the three sects were all shocked. The red-haired old man from the Starry River Court was physically shaking, and his face was covered with an expression of utter incredulity.
“Maybe the circle got broken somehow…?” he murmured. The Nascent Soul Daoist master from the Polarity River Court was panting, and a look of unprecedented anxiety could be seen in his eyes.
Originally, the matter of redistributing the resources wasn’t very important to the Polarity River Court, especially considering the compensation the Starry River Court had offered to gain their support. However, if things kept going the way they were, that compensation wouldn’t even make up for the losses they would incur.
Now, in this moment of anxiety, their anger toward the Starry River Court was growing.
If the Polarity River Court had such a reaction, there almost wasn’t even a need to mention the Nascent Soul experts from the Dao River Court. They were all trembling, and looks of despair could be seen flickering in their eyes. If they didn’t end up with more resources than they had in the previous competition, their decision to join in the Starry River Court’s little plan would result in indescribable losses.
Furthermore, the sect’s deva patriarch would surely be furious.
After thinking about the consequences at stake, one of the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Starry River Court said, “Impossible. This is definitely a mistake….”
However, his words of consolation fell completely flat. The area outside of the stone spell formation descended into a deathly silence. All of the Nascent Soul Daoist masters were looking at the glowing circles, and it was completely obvious that the River-Defying Sect’s circle was continuing to grow brighter.
At the same time, the circles representing the other sects hadn’t changed at all…. Frigidsect, Crimsonsoul and Master Godwind were all dumbstruck.
Even they had no idea what could be going on inside the legacy zone….
“What… is Bai Xiaochun… doing in there?” Crimsonsoul murmured, looking over in confusion at Master Godwind and Frigidsect.
Meanwhile, back in the legacy zone, the disciples of the three sects were howling in fury. Bai Xiaochun was currently 12,000 meters in, and continuing forward toward the Mountain of Legacy Seals itself.
By this point, deep despair had taken root in the hearts of everyone present….
From the first moment this legacy zone had been opened in ancient times until now, not a single Core Formation cultivator had ever reached the actual foot of the mountain. In fact, no one knew what dangers existed there, nor what would happen if someone reached that point.
But now, everyone watched helplessly as the damnable and shameless Bai Xiaochun used his cheating methods to pull off a miracle.
“It’s not fair….”
“I can’t believe you can actually cheat the system here!”
“Oh heavens, have you no eyes? Send lightning to smite this despicable Bai Xiaochun!!” Tears welled up in their eyes as Bai Xiaochun reached the 15,000-meter mark. He was now right at the foot of the Mountain of Legacy Seals!
As soon as he reached that point, his jaw dropped. It felt as if he had just passed through a sheet of water, and he involuntarily stopped moving. Oh-so-carefully, he tilted up the edge of the turtle shell, and could sense that there was no lightning, no black wind, and no magic of any other type.
“Eee?” Curious, Bai Xiaochun backed up a few meters, and sure enough, could feel the lightning and other magic battering the turtle shell. Then he moved forward a bit, and the sensation vanished.
