Above a land made of pure ice, with no vegetation or creature as far as the eye could see, many figures were greedily staring towards the woman inside a block of ice.More specifically they were staring at the white flower in her hands. Though the woman was so beautiful that even the heavens would feel jealous of her, and she would instantly become the centre of attraction and make everything else pale in comparison, currently everyone"s attention was focused on the simple but dazzling flower in her hands.
"It seems that the rumours about the Thousand Petal Yin Lotus were true."
"…Indeed one glance at it makes my soul s.h.i.+ver from coldness."
"Humph! How dare that woman try and hog the whole lotus herself?! As a righteous man that slayed millions of devils, I"ll take care of that impudent woman on my own!"
"Tsk! Who are you trying to fool! With your cultivation you wouldn"t even be able to make them lift a finger against you!"
As the group gathered there were getting rowdy, an invisible pressure descended turning everyone silent. The next moment a small dot in the sky began becoming bigger until an old man with a hunched back was floating in front of them.
"Hahaha, this old man is almost about to die, so I hope everyone here would accept my presumptuous proposal and let me take the Thousand Petal Yin Lotus."
As the hoa.r.s.e voice was spread out, the group felt like they were being suffocated by something invisible.
"Ssss... That"s the Bloodthirsty Army Slayer! It"s said that he got his name due to having killed a whole army on his own!!!"
However, the quietness didn"t last long as more and more people at the same level as the so called Bloodthirsty Army Slayer arrived showing their intentions for the Thousand Petal Yin Lotus.
"Don"t even think about taking that flower while I"m here old fart!"
As time went on more and more people started appearing with fervent eyes. Though most of them knew they couldn"t obtain the flower at the end, they"re greed still got the best of them as they hoped to be the one laughing at the end of the day.
Even after it seemed like everyone had gathered there, not a single one made the first move and kept on waiting.
None of those who gathered there were newbies, and knew very well that the first one to make a move would almost never survive till the end in face of so many strong adversaries.
"I have a suggestion, as everyone knows, the Thousand Petal Yin Lotus, in fact, has 1000 petals. So how about we take the flower together and divide the petals among us based on our strength? The strongest individuals will receive 5 petals, and the level lower them will get 4, and so on. What does everyone think about this?"
As the seductive woman"s voice echoed through s.p.a.ce, everyone seriously considered her proposal. Indeed the Thousand Petal Yin Lotus was most useful when someone used it as a whole, but it was impossible for anyone to take it away without encountering the irk of everyone else.
So the next best solution would be to divide the petals among themselves. Furthermore, the proposal allowed everyone gathered there to obtain at least one petal each, due to which the huge group of low level experts accepted it without any hesitation.
After all, even a single petal of the flower was enough for any one of them to experience a giant leap in their cultivation!
However before the group of various individuals could come to an agreement, the s.p.a.ce itself froze as the wind started howling from all directions.
Startled at the sudden change everyone kept on looking around, when they saw that three huge beasts almost as big as mountains were flying at breathtaking speed towards them.
"f.u.c.k! The Three Major Sects are making a move!"
The three beasts which were rus.h.i.+ng towards the same destination were none other than the guardian beasts of the Little Ice Domain"s Four Major Sects.
As the name implied, the Little Ice Domain was a land made of ice throughout. Other than the few bodies of water that divided the domain into different continents, the whole domain was purely made up of ice.
In the ice domain, the peak of power was not an individual, a kingdom, or anything, but instead, the Three Major Sects were the ones who stood at the apex.
Most of the time the three sects, almost never interfered with anything outside their sects other than when recruiting disciples, but everyone knew that none of the three sects were something that they could offend.
Once the three major sects appeared, the rowdy group turned silent as if they were splashed with cold water. Now that they had appeared, there was no longer a chance for any of them to obtain a single petal of the flower.
As the group were regretting how much time they wasted instead of taking the flower away, the three flying mountain sized beasts stopped above them on the air not even taking notice of them, almost as if they were dust.

"There"s no need for useless talks, since all three of our sects wants the flower. Let"s all fight for it! And the one who comes on top, will be the one who gets it."
"Indeed, let"s fight!"
"Hahaha, who"s afraid of you two! My sect will take that flower even if we have to destroy your sects!"
Not a second after the words were spoken, the three beasts started rushed towards each other as the hundreds of cultivators on top of each of them also took flight finding opponents to slay.
Unfortunately, before even a single attack could be sent, s.p.a.ce cracked open at the centre of them as a pale white hand came out of it, followed by the person"s body.
The person who came out of the cracked s.p.a.ce, was someone that no one there had ever seen before, and even though his cultivation was many times higher than the three sect masters that had made an appearance personally, his pale skin and tired eyes were evidence of how badly he was wounded.
However, the moment they all saw his face, they stopped all of their actions for a second and blankly looked at him. How could someone have such a handsome face?
Not caring about the stares he was receiving, the man who walked out focused his eyes and glanced at everyone that had appeared there, immediately after which his eyes turned sharp, cold and murderous.
Looking towards the woman who was still covered in ice, and had the flower in her hands, a gentle expression surfaced but quickly disappeared as his anger exploded towards everyone who had gathered there to obtain the flower.
As flames surrounded his body, the man spoke in an arrogant tone, "Who gave you enough courage, to dare and plan to steal from that woman? Have you all forgotten the warning is sent?!!"
The scene looked so cool, that if this was an anime or a movie, a mysterious song would"ve started playing in the background.
