Chapter 294: Chapter 294- Opening Of The Ancient Monolith (2)

Of course, the reason why not even a single soul could be seen anywhere around the desert ruin was because every single one of them were gathered near the plaza in the middle of the ruins where the giant monolith was.

"Wow look at the crowd!! It looks like all the people from the desert ruins are gathered here" Amon spoke arching his head to look left and right while standing atop Yang Chen’s shoulder.

To his side was Tang Xun’er, adopting the same movement as the demon. And as for Yun, he was still hiding inside the pendant of hers.

"Are all these people here also going to enter the special realm?" the girl questioned in amazement.

"How could it be that easy to enter the ancient sect? Don’t worry once the formation weakens and the gate to the ancient sect opens, all of these people will be sifted out" the demonic spirit’s voice sounded in their heads.

So that was the case, the two of them nodded their heads. The sun was already high up their heads and the moon could be seen slowly entering its path. It wouldn’t be long before the solar eclipse began.

Just like everyone else, Yang Chen too was also staring at the sky, looking eagerly at the slowly inching moon.

Soon!!!

The excitement around the crowd practically overwhelmed the plaza. If not because they knew that there was a powerful defence surrounding that monolith, they would have already charged over by now.

Yang Chen scanned these people with his eyes before shifting his gaze towards the people closest to the monolith. Standing at the forefront of the crowd and occupying a large area that not even a single soul present in the crowd dared to breach, who could these people be other than the powerful and influential clan?

Xuan sect, Sky Eagle Guild, Star Dragon Chamber and a few others. All the heavyweights present in the desert ruins were gathered there.

Of course, the Ocean Splitting Sect being one of the top three sects from the capital, was also there. Yang Chen’s eyes scanned these people, and surprisingly, he saw some familiar figures.

A group of people wearing cyan blue clothes and carrying swords on their back. Their postures were straight and their brows carried an inborn pride. Their eyes were like two swords and their bodies all carried dense sword qi.

Leading them was an old man with white hair and plain robes. His body carried no sword qi and he appeared just like an old man. However, if one really thought that, they would be severely mistaken.

The sharp eyes the old man used to intermittently gaze told a different tale.

The reason why Yang Chen thought that they looked familiar was because they were the same group of people he had seen boarding the same air engine he had boarded to come here.

"To think that they were Xuan sect, the clan whose member was able to accidentally enter the ancient sect, that was a surprise" he muttered under his breath.

Thanks to his sharp senses, he could pick up some useful information from the gossiping crowd around him. That’s how he knew who these people were.

In any case, it appeared that the Xuan sect didn’t want to make the same mistake as before again and came prepared.

They even brought a Battle Overlord realm elder with them this time.

As he observed the ones in the front, he became more aware of the power distribution. Out of all the influential clans this time, the Xuan sect was the one who brought the most people, followed by the Sky Eagle Guild, Mang clan who was an overlord of a nearby area and then came a few other factions.

The Star Dragon Chamber and the Ocean Splitting Sect had the lowest number. However, the quality of each of their members was several times higher than others.

The real indicator of strength was always one’s cultivation level and not numbers. The other sects might have brought numbers but compared to the experts like that elder he had seen back in the auction hall, Yao Ming and that Xuan sect elder, numbers hardly meant anything.

Even Bai Changfeng from the Ocean Splitting Sect brought two people of the Battle Overlord realm with him.

Yang Chen did not glance at them for long, not wanting to catch their attention as they seemed they were in a bad mood.

Why would they not? After all, they had been searching this entire desert ruins for them in the past few days.

However, they could not even see their shadows. Little did they know that they were being tracked and that Yang Chen had deliberately chosen routes that did not align with the path they sought.

"Look!! It’s finally about to begin"

Just as he was thinking all that, Tang Xun’er from the side shook his body exclaiming as she did. He followed her gaze and looked at the sky where the moon slid gracefully across the path of the sun, casting a shadow over the land below.

The sky darkened. The once bright orb was now obscured by the ethereal glow of the solar eclipse.

"It is finally starting" Yang Chen muttered. He could see the brightly shining sun slowly getting completely covered by the moon.

As the eclipse progressed, the air seemed to crackle with a sense of anticipation, a palpable energy that filled the atmosphere with a sense of wonder and awe.

The desert ruin and even the surroundings and areas far beyond, took on a coral hue. At the same moment, as the eclipse began, a profound transformation also unfolded at the centre of the plaza.

As hurried gasps of excitement rang out, before the eyes of the onlookers, a profound change started occurring on the ancient huge monolith in the centre. The age old slumbering construct began to stir.

The glyphs etched into its weathered surface began to emit a soft, ethereal glow, illuminating the surrounding area with an otherworldly radiance.

OHHH!!... A hushed murmur swept through the crowd as they beheld the spectacle.
