Surrounded by many people, the old woman stood before the gate quietly.
"I will go first." Someone took the first step and jumped in.
He touched the rune with his palm but there was no reaction. He rubbed, pressed and tried grabbing but the gate didn't respond at all.
"Move, you won't do." She said. The guy was like a deflated balloon as he walked away.
A young man with an astonishing aura walked out. A golden halo rotated above his head, indicating he was a heaven congregation realm expert. Many people exclaimed at this sight.
"It's Young king Ling Tian. He is a vagrant cultivator but reached heaven congregation realm at such young age. No wonder he is known as the number one expert from the young generation." Almost everyone from the eastern territory recognised the young man.
He walked in proudly with an indifferent expression. He touched the gate with his palm gently, closing his eyes. After a few breaths of time, the gate shone with dazzling starlight. It was almost a hundred meter tall pillar of star light. Countless miniature stars were spinning inside the pillar of light.
"I wonder what kind of gift I will receive from senior?" Ling Tian spoke with a faint smile.
The old woman rummaged through her bundle of treasure, taking out a pagoda at the size of a palm and threw it at him.
Ling Tian quickly caught the treasure pagoda with both hands and inspected it. His eyes shone with bright light but he quickly hid it away, afraid of people snatching it. He flew into the sky and vanished under the eyes of many. Some greedy bunch silently left the crowd, trying to snatch it from him.
"That's Ling Tian for you, he is truly the son of luck. Getting a treasure as soon as he stepped in. Why my luck isn't that good?" Some people started lamenting.
After that, many tried to invoke the star light pillar from the gate, but to no avail.
"Looks it's the people from northern territory. She is the young genius from Northern Territory's Ancient Zhou clan, Zhou Baiyun." Everyone's gaze fell on her. She was a unique beauty which could cause the downfall of a nation. People couldn't help but admire her no matter how much they look at it. Her strength wasn't to be underestimated either, at such young age she reached the peak of Physic foundation realm. Inside northern territory, she could be among the top ten.
Her gaze was icy as she walked up to the gate. She touched it gently. After a while, the gate reacted with a soaring star light pillar. It was different from the light that Ling Tian had invoked. Her light had a faint red tint on it.
After that, Zhou Baiyun pulled her palm, silently stared at the old woman.
The old woman wasn't someone who would needlessly speak either. She quickly took out a Saint grade treasure knife and handed it to her. Under the envious gaze's of everyone, Zhou Baiyun left with the senior's from her clan. No one was daring enough to snatch it from her, because, she was being protected by the grand elder of the Zhou clan who was a peak Heavenly King.
"Lord, how about i try it?" Old Liu couldn't help but say.
"Sure." Li Shenrong didn't mind at all.
The old Liu jumped and walked in front of the gate. No one stopped him, because at that point, most of the people had tried their luck. They were just waiting to see if someone else could gain anything. If they are lucky, they might be able to snatch it.
Old Liu closed his eyes and sat down in a meditative pose.
"What's that old man doing?" Everyone felt curious.
"Let's see, who knows, he might gain something." Some winked at each other. Li Shenrong could naturally hear understand their thoughts. He shook his head and laughed, continuing to watch old Liu.
After a while, a golden starlight soared above the sky. It almost pierced the heaven as if the light pillar wanted to make a hole in the sky. Sounds of Dao resonance rang out, making everyone astounded. The golden starlight was so bright it almost blinded everyone present.
The old woman's eyes flashed brightly but it dimmed down again.
Old Liu stood up with a disappointing expression and left under everyone's confused gaze.
"What? Why did he left without taking a treasure? Has he gone senile?" People couldn't help but curse because old Liu gave up the chance of gaining a mighty treasure. Everyone felt bitter inside. Some tried to advise the old Liu but was met with his cold glare.
The old woman didn't say anything either, she silently stood there.
"I failed." Old Liu said.
"It's natural you would fail. If just anyone could see through the gate's mysteries, then it wouldn't be the old woman's turn to have it." Li Shenrong chuckled.
His words, the old woman heard it. She looked at his direction with an all penetrating gaze. Under her gaze, everything felt tiny in comparison. Naturally, it couldn't affect Li Shenrong, not the old Liu either.
"Do you think you can do it?" Lady Treasurelight spoke, her eyes staring at Li Shenrong.
Li Shenrong smiled faintly. "What's so tough about it. No big deal." He said.
"Boast shamelessly! Who is this kid? Daring to boast about invoking starlight pillar." His words provoked many surrounding cultivators.
"Lady treasurelight personally asked him, maybe he really has some ability." Someone said.
"Who is he? I've never seen him before." People tried to discuss who Li Shenrong was because no one has ever seen him before.
Hearing Li Shenrong's response, the old woman said in a feeble voice. "If you can do it, then i will grant you a supreme fortune. But, if you can't, then i will teach you a lesson."
Li Shenrong chuckled and walked ahead. Many were curious as they eagerly waited to witness what Li Shenrong could do.
