Qi Tian carefully examined the images fed back by the Heavenly Dao Engine. The cultivators nearby were not that powerful, not a single Half-Step Golden Core among them; they were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage. A thought fluttered in his mind, considering whether he should strike first, eliminating these cultivators.

However, before Qi Tian moved, the sky erupted with dazzling fireworks, seemingly signal for gathering. Those cultivators suddenly sprang into action, whether they were resting or meditating, everyone jumped on their flying swords and sped towards the fireworks at top speed.

Once they left, Qi Tian didn’t need to kill anyone after all. He emerged from his hiding place, moving as swiftly to the vicinity of the extraterrestrial meteorite fragment. He quickly found the main piece, a meteorite fragment the size of a washbasin, hidden beneath a pile of fallen leaves and dead branches. It would be challenging to detect unless the heap of leaves and branches was disturbed.

This piece of an extraterrestrial meteorite was several times larger than all the fragments Qi Tian had discovered previously. Naturally, he was satisfied with this outcome. However, he was reluctant to reveal such a large fragment for making formations, so he planned to search for more extraterrestrial meteorite fragments.

While he was contemplating, suddenly loud explosions of spells came from the quiet night sky. Following the sound, he saw that it came from the direction where the fireworks had flown up. It appeared that a fierce battle was taking place there.

Qi Tian slightly hesitated before setting aside the idea of inspecting the scene. The intensity of the battle would undoubtedly attract a lot of people. Consequently, the number of cultivators on Yi Lian Mountain would significantly reduce, providing him with a prime opportunity to search for more meteorite fragments. He wondered if all the cultivators guarding the quarry would be attracted to the spot. If so, he wouldn’t have to put in so much effort.

Qi Tian chose a path leading to the quarry, searching for meteorite fragments along the way. Thanks to his swift movements and scarce large fragments, he soon arrived near the quarry again, hiding in the bushes and peering inside. It was pitch dark inside, unaffected by the external activities. Using the Heavenly Dao Engine to sense, he found that the ambush set up inside was almost the same as during his last reconnaissance of the quarry. Two Half-Step Golden Cores were guarding it, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators had changed slightly, but these alterations did not change the power dynamic within the quarry. Qi Tian still didn’t have a chance to charge inside.

With no other option, Qi Tian turned around and delved deeper into Yi Lian Mountain to search for meteorite fragments.

This time, Qi Tian was more fortunate. Shortly, he discovered a meteorite crater caused by a small extraterrestrial fragment, where he found more than ten meteorite fragments. The largest fragment was slightly larger than a human fist, while the tiniest was a bit bigger than a thumbnail.

Qi Tian was thrilled. These meteorite fragments were enough for him to create a decent formation.

Just as Qi Tian was about to find a place to rest and wait for the next day to set up the formation, he suddenly felt someone was rapidly approaching his location. Unwilling to encounter other cultivators, he quickly found a place to hide. However, perhaps he was just unlucky; those people were heading straight towards Qi Tian’s location. He didn’t have enough time to find another hiding spot.

Quickly, Qi Tian was exposed in front of those people, but they didn’t even spare him a glance and intended to keep running. However, a voice that sounded familiar to Qi Tian rang out. Afterward, a immensely built figure appeared, standing tall like an iron tower in front of everyone.

The fleeing individuals were frightened and promptly stopped in their tracks when they saw this figure. The man built like an iron tower swept a cold gaze over the group and said, “If you don’t want to die, follow my orders. Otherwise, I won’t mind trampling you.”

Looking at this man, Qi Tian drew in a sharp breath. If not Ape King Sun Xiaotian, who could this iron tower-like man be? If Qi Tian were to list people he least wanted to run into in Chi Di, Ape King Sun Xiaotian might not be in the top three, but he would definitely make the top ten. The memory of being held hostage by Ape King last time was still fresh in his mind. If Qi Tian’s power was compared to Half-Step Golden Core, then the Ape King’s Half-Step Golden Core power was infinitely close to the Gold Core First Level. Compared to the Ape King, Qi Tian was still outmatched.

Ape King Sun Xiaotian extended his thick finger, pointing at Qi Tian who was still hiding, and said, “Come out quickly, don’t make me drag you out. If I have to do that, I can’t guarantee that you’ll come out unscathed.”

Qi Tian had no other option than to come out from his hiding place. Facing Ape King, he offered his respects, “Greetings, Ape King.”

Ape King Sun Xiaotian glanced at Qi Tian. He didn’t recognize Qi Tian but it didn’t surprise him that Qi Tian recognized him. After all, given his renowned reputation in Chi Di, it would be rare to find someone who didn’t know him. “Since you recognize me, it would be easier. Join them and follow me.”
