A moment later, an invisible force formed a huge gap above the altar, from which a colorful, dazzling light suddenly burst out!
Then, a thick column of light dropped from the gap, slamming onto the altar. All of a sudden, several figures fell down the column.
These were the young cultivators from the Violet Orchid Empire, who had entered the Mysterious Nether World.
Although a hundred people had entered the Mysterious Nether World, only about forty appeared on the altar.
That meant around sixty cultivators had died in the Mysterious Nether World!
After the thick column of light dissipated and the huge gap closed, the young survivals jumped off from the altar and began to search for their masters, elders, sect-mates, relatives or friends among the crowd that had gathered to meet them.
"Dad!"
Dewey abruptly shouted from beside Austin, as he had found his father. He then turned into a round meatball and rolled toward a corner of the square.
In that direction stood a middle-aged man who was even fatter than Dewey. His fat head, huge face, and oversized belly made him look like a ball.
Austin couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that this middle-aged fat man was Dewey's father. The apple did not fall far from the tree. Dewey was a copy of his father!
"Austin, the elders of our sect are over there. We should greet them."
Iris and Anna said to Austin.
"Okay, go ahead."
Austin nodded at them. Then, the two girls held hands, jumped off the altar, and ran toward the middle-aged Taoist nuns.
"Senior Sister, look! The Sect Leader, Theon, is headed our way!"
Once the leaders of the five major sects saw that the young cultivators were walking toward them, they dismounted from the spectator's platform to greet their disciples.
"Austin, I've located my master as well."
Denali quickly said to Austin, before moving toward Theon with her senior sisters and other Sun Sect disciples.
"Ha-ha. God bless! You've returned!"
Theon rushed toward his disciples, excitedly. After he checked each one, he was even more delighted.
Nine young disciples from Sun Sect had entered the Mysterious Nether World this time, and all of them had returned safely.
"Thank God, you're all here! This is great!"
Theon sighed with relief.
"Sect Leader, these are the grade four and grade five elixirs that I picked."
One of the Sun Sect disciples began to show a few elixirs.
The other Sun Sect disciples also took the initiative to entrust their treasures from the Mysterious Nether World to Theon. Among the treasures were elixirs, vital energy crystals, and beast cores. A disciple even presented a book on grade four martial arts skill.
Apart from the Emperor Library, there would be one or two martial arts books hidden across the Mysterious Nether World, but not as precious as those in the Emperor Library.
"Ha-ha. Good! I'm so proud of you all!"
Those precious treasures pleased Theon. He hadn't held much hope for his disciples, but now, the fact that they had found many treasures overjoyed him.
"Sect Leader, these are what I got when I was inside."
Denali offered her treasures from the Mysterious Nether World to Theon with a red face.
"Ha-ha, good! You're also... Wait a minute! These... These are what you got in the Mysterious Nether World?! Theon had planned to say some encouraging words symbolically. However, at the next moment, he was surprised by Denali's treasures. Never had he seen treasures like these.
His eyes lit up, his body began to shake, and an expression of ecstasy reflected on his face.
