When the three of them entered the bowl, the others quickly followed.

A golden light once again appeared from the bowl, swept around the temple hall and brought all the cultivators inside.

There was still one person left outside the temple hall.

He stood there, waiting until the very end after everyone has already gone in.

At this moment, he showed an expression of pure excitement as he rushed towards the formation plate.

He has been waiting to get this formation plate into his hands since they were on the way.

If he already knows that the formation plate is sentient and is prepared for it, he doesn’t have to worry about his soul vessel being hurt from retaliation.

As an Ascended realm formation user, he knows very well just how powerful a sentient formation plate can be.

With this formation plate, even Gong Sun Zhi won’t be able to beat him.

Now that everyone has gone inside the bowl, this is the best chance for him to make the formation plate his.

When everyone comes out and wonder where the formation plate went, he can just act like he doesn’t know as well.

“Ahaha, you’re mine, mine!”

He muttered in frenzied excitement.

He flew as fast as possible to grab the formation plate.

It was just one step away from his hand.

Suddenly, a black light emit from the bowl, sweeping over his body.

The cultivation was instantly turned into a pile of dried bones without any flesh or skin, scattered on the ground.

An Ascended realm cultivator, killed in an instant.

The formation plate landed on the skull, knocked on it twice, mocking him.

After staying there for a while, the formation plate seemed to have felt something, slowly floated up and landed inside the bowl.

The world inside the bowl.

Gu Qing Shan landed feet first, quickly followed by Ning Yue Xi.

Then came Leng Tian Xing and the rest of the cultivators.

In the darkness, a heavy, agonizing voice came.

“Amitabha, the demon’s army is too great, we were unable to hold them off. Having no other choice, the highest powers of the world decided to join hands to perform a never-before-seen heaven and earth offering ritual. So I have recorded the entire process as history for times to come”

The voice slowly disappeared, followed by the scenery starting to appear around them.

“This is… a recorded image?” Leng Tian Xing hesitantly asked.

The group looked around to find themselves standing on a highly raised ritual altar.

The scene below was busy as numerous people gathered, all of them cultivators.

Quite a few cultivators were wounded, some had to sit on the ground, a few others couldn’t do anything but lie on the ground.

The armor they were wearing were more or less damaged at different levels.

The thing that truly made for a spectator are the numerous weapons floating in the sky.

They were either standing still, or flying around chasing each other, only when they’re summoned by the cultivators that the weapons would fly down and stay next to them.

All the people who entered the bowl were either Rejuvenation realm or Ascended realm, so they instantly recognized that they were watching a recorded scene of times passed.

“All of these weapons have their own spirit” Ning Yue Xi commented after a bit of observation.

Gu Qing Shan also chimed in: “Take a look at their armors”

The group quickly looked at the cultivators’ armors.

All the armors, while damaged, were still letting out a dim light, occasionally even formed intricate patterns or divine beast’s avatars.

Ning Yue Xi sighed: “Their Smithing abilities are definitely much more advanced than ours”

“It might not just be Smithing, take a look around us” Leng Tian Xing said.

Gu Qing Shan turned to look at the great cultivators that were on the ritual altar like they were.

There were a total of 12 people.

The presence they emitted was as deep as the sea, despite not actively using spirit pressure, they were still letting out immense pressure to those around.

“That’s right, this feeling, it’s the same as the three Saints” one of the cultivators here exclaimed in horror.

“My god, and there are 12 of these cultivators, could it be they were all Sainted realm?” another also realized.

Gu Qing Shan silently felt it and also agreed.

Even this recorded image is miraculously advanced, allowing them to actually feel the presence of those around at the time.

Shen Wu world had 12 Sainted realm cultivators, an incredible fighting force.

But then, a thought surfaced in everyone’s minds at the same time.

——–even such a force couldn’t win against the demons?

According to what they’ve known so far, there are easily over a million types of demons with varying strength, and there are also high-tiered demons so strong that even the three Saints could only barely stop them.

Luckily, all those high-tiered demons disappeared just as suddenly as they appeared.

No one knows where they came from, or where they went.

While the group was spaced out thinking, the 12 Sainted realm cultivators looked forward, as one of them stepped out and walked in front of the altar.

He loudly declared: “The time has come; we welcome the four Venerable”

Before he finished speaking, the 12 Sainted realm cultivators as well as all the cultivators below the altar knelt down on one knee, clasping their fists ceremoniously.

A green smoke appeared in the Eastern sky, turning into a 5-clawed green dragon, carrying an old man with a fluttering white hair and beard, surfing the clouds.

A pillar of fire that reached the sky appeared on the Southern sky, as a masculine man rode a blade of fire, heading towards the altar.

At the Northwest direction, a raging tsunami came crashing in, carrying one male and one female, casually chatting as they slowly arrived.

As these four appeared, everyone’s expression seemed much more solemn.

When the four stepped onto the altar, they retracted all the miraculous sights and waved their hands: “Stand up”

Only when hearing that did the cultivators dared to stand.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly said: “They aren’t Sainted realm”

His eyes were glued straight to the four, feeling the terrifying pressure they emitted.

“They feel a bit like the Formless Tianma Saint King at that time” Ning Yue Xi also frowned.

“You’re right, they’re definitely cultivators who reached the realm above Sainted” Gu Qing Shan confirmed her guess.

“There is a realm above Sainted… and there are four of them who managed to reach it here…” one of the cultivators muttered in both fright and confusion.

The cultivators exchanged glances, still in complete disbelief.

Suddenly, Leng Tian Xing thought of something, his expression paled as he asked: “If they are that powerful, how did they still lose to the demons?”

As soon as he asked that, a dread silence filled the room, as no one dared to speak.

At this point, the four Venerables and the 12 Sainted realm cultivators were discussing something, occasionally breaking out into argument, like they couldn’t all agree.

The scene suddenly disappeared, then resumed after a while.

Right now, a lot of time has passed since the image for cut off.

Everyone else has already left the altar, only the four Venerables stood at each corner of the altar, making the same hand seals.

They seem to be conducting a special secret ritual.

While the four did what they did, the sky above the altar began to break, revealing the chaotic space-time vortex.

The space-time vortex didn’t appear for very long, suddenly disappeared as heaven and earth returned to normal.

A strange accessory was seen floating in the sky.

It gleamed, then suddenly broke and crumbled to dust.

A few moments later, three figures appeared in the sky.

While Gu Qing Shan and everyone was looking to see more, the scene suddenly disappeared.

Feeling a bit dizzy, they all got teleported out of the bowl.

The group of cultivators reappeared in the temple hall again.

“Hm?”

“We’re outside?”

“Why did it suddenly got cut off?”

The group of cultivators only panicked for a second before regaining their senses.

Everyone looked at the same direction.

The entrance to the temple hall.

A group of strange and mysterious cultivators were standing there.

They all wore hats with large brims and black leather jackets that hid their hands.

Such an outfit not only hid their faces from view, it also blocked any small signals or actions that their hands might be doing.

There was spirit energy residue in the air.

A few cuts on the bowl were glowing hot.

It seems that these unknown cultivators had attacked the bowl to cause Gu Qing Shan’s group to be teleported outside.

These unknown cultivators were also emitting Rejuvenation and Ascended realm spirit energy waves.

The unknown cultivators also seem shocked, lifting their heads to reveal the surprised expressions under the large brim hats.

Both sides were evaluating the other party.

For the period of one whole breath, no one said anything.

Time almost seemed to stop at this point.

The cultivators of the world of cultivation found that they don’t recognize these cultivators.

Ning Yue Xi, Leng Tian Xing and the rest of the great cultivators were all long-term Generals of the army, between everyone here, they have memorized just about every single face in the army in their inner sights so that they won’t forget.

With a single glance, they understood these are people that they’ve never seen before, complete strangers.

Even their outfits, tools, weapons and armor were never seen before.

Perhaps they’re cultivators from Shen Wu world?

——-but Shen Wu world’s cultivators should have already died without any survivors remaining.

This is something the three Saints has discovered and confirmed from the very start.

Which means, these cultivators wearing large brim hats aren’t people of the cultivation world, and aren’t people of Shen Wu world.

At this point, including Gu Qing Shan, all the cultivators realized something.

Something that no one has ever even thought of before.

Without any warning, history began to change at this very moment.

At this moment, two very different cultivation civilizations had met each other in the ruins of a third destroyed civilization.

But time always move forward, it wouldn’t stop at this moment forever.

Because someone broke the silence.

“Ah? There’s people here?”
