The next day, the gray mist’s power was even denser and wilder.

There were more and more cracks on the ground. Each crack was crazily spewing out gray mist.

After a day of figuring things out, Yang Jing found out the origins of the six other leaders. However, they had already been completely seduced by the gray mist. They felt like they were living a new life, and had abandoned their old names, giving themselves a new one.

They all called themselves Sky One to Sky Six. Xu Da had changed his name after as well, and was now called Sky Seven. They called themselves the seven who would herald a new era!

They had wanted to pull the people from the Heavenly Palace along, but were rejected.

Suddenly, the gray mist door shook. It felt like it was solidifying.

Xu Da’s eyes brightened as he said excitedly, “It’s almost there. We’ll be able to enter soon!”

However, at that moment, six figures appeared from a distance. They felt incredibly strong as they appeared in front of everyone.

The one in front was a man with exotic clothing. However, no one dared to laugh at the man because his expression was incredibly terrifying.

“I am Tian Luo from the Heaven Plundering Alliance. I’m sorry for being late.”

Tian Luo saluted everyone present. After that, he raised his hand and revealed the power of his gray mist.

Someone from the Heaven Plundering Alliance?!

Everyone was shocked, but revealed smiles after.

Looking at the person’s cultivation, it was obvious that he was someone ranked highly in the Heaven Plundering Alliance. For someone like that to have absorbed the gray mist meant that the gray mist was truly powerful!

Xu Da laughed as he said, “You’re very welcome here, Tian Luo! What a coincidence, you came just as the door to the Gray Mist Origin Realm’s opening!”

“Thank you, everyone,” Tian Luo was emotionless as he answered calmly.

He could not help looking at those from the Heavenly Palace with a glint in his eyes.

He was quite surprised that those from the Heavenly Palace were there. However, that was no matter, everything was still under his control.

Behind him, the Left Messenger was cursing her luck.

She just wanted to live a peaceful life. Why was someone always capturing her and putting her in all sorts of strange situations? This was clearly an incredibly dangerous place.

Right after that, she saw that familiar black mongrel with pants on. She then saw Nanan and the others. She could not help but shudder in fear.

Damn it, why was it them?!

She seemed to always be on the other side of them.

He was done for. The person who brought her here was done for!

The Left Messenger glanced at Tian Luo quietly, subtly moving away from him a little.

At that moment, the people from the Heavenly Palace looked at Tian Luo.

The Heaven Plundering Alliance was naturally a name they were familiar with, but that was not the important part. The important thing was the pearl in Tian Luo’s hand.

They could feel the power of the Seven Battle Souls inside the pearl. That should be the Sea Boiling Pearl.

They could not believe that they would be able to get the Sea Boiling Pearl on top of the origin of the gray mist. It was so worth it!

Xu Da did not see the hidden movements that occurred between the Heavenly Palace and the Heaven Plundering Alliance. He stepped forward as he declared, “Everyone, a new era is upon us. The gray mist is true Wisdom. As the protectors of the era of the gray mist, we will have the brightest future. Right now, let’s enter the Gray Mist Orign Realm together and release the gray mist. Let us welcome our king!”

“Believe the gray mist, achieve immortality!”

“Believe the gray mist, achieve immortality!”

“Believe the gray mist, achieve immortality!”

…

All of them were shouting fervently. Wave after wave of gray mist came out of their bodies, condensing into a terrifying power.

There were not many strong cultivators among them, but there were far too many of them. Even 10,000 heavenly soldiers would not be able to do anything to them.

The Origins Realm was unbelievably large. There was no way to count how many people had been contaminated by the gray mist. It was why many regular people or low-level cultivators would not be able to get here. If they could, there would be even more of them.

“Alright, everyone, follow me into the realm!”

Xu Da let out a shout. With the other Skies, they jumped into the gray mist door.

The crowd behind them followed in a hurry, eager to enter.

Yang Jing and the others exchanged looks. Only after half of them had entered did they follow.

“Ah, my body, no!”

“White hair, why have I started growing white hair?!”

“No, don’t come here. I… Ahhhh!”

“We’re the protectors of the era of the gray mist. Why is the gray mist harming us? No! Ah, I’m turning into a white-haired monster!”

…

The moment they went into the gray door, wave after wave of wails could be heard. In just a flash, countless cultivators grew white hair around their bodies, turning into beasts that wandered aimlessly in the hidden realm.

The cultivators outside did not know what was happening. They still entered fervently. By the time they could react, they were too late.

Yang Jing and the others were no strangers to the white-haired monsters. However, they never expected that the group that was perfectly healthy earlier would suddenly turn into white-haired monsters right after entering the realm.

The gray mist was far too strange.

Looking over, less than a tenth of the cultivators managed to remain normal.

No one expected that they would suffer so many heavy losses the moment they entered the realm.

However, Xu Da and the others were very calm. They had cold smiles on their faces.

“They became white-haired monsters because they just weren’t strong enough. They weren’t able to accept the gifts of Wisdom. This is fine. The white-haired beasts are the most loyal in protecting the gray mist! They will be the dogs of the gray mist.”

Xu Da answered the questions in Yang Jing and everyone else’s hearts. After that, he said, “We’re the true masters of the new era. Let’s continue moving forward.”

Everyone continued deeper inside. Other than waves and waves of gray mist, there were no dangers. However, after walking for a while, they stumbled upon three caves!

On the three caves were the words, ‘Nine dead, one alive’, ‘a thread of life’ and ‘safe passage’.

All of them glanced at ‘safe passage’ before averting their gazes, focusing on the other two caves.

Everyone knew that ‘safe passage’ would definitely be dangerous. Safety was just a word to sway their hearts. Instead, it was the other two scary lines that would probably be the correct paths.

Xiao Chengfeng raised an eyebrow as he said, “We need to be tested before we can find the gray mist’s origin?”

“This is a part of the seal.”

Xu Da explained, “Back when the gray mist descended, it was rejected fervently by many ignorant souls. Many of the strong sealed the gray mist in various places. It’s naturally not going to be so easy to undo the seal. Even with so many years passing, the seal is just as scary. It’s not something we can just barge through.”

The Heavenly Palace’s group had looks of realization. Their gazes fell back on the three caves.

One out of three. How would they choose?
