The news of the Exotic Treasure's emergence spread with terrifying speed, reaching not only all major Sacred Lands and other forces but even ordinary citizens.
The vast majority of forces with insufficient strength adopted a wait-and-see attitude; without Lord-level combat power, coveting such a treasure would be a suicidal action.
Forces above the Five-star Sacred Lands were all mobilized en masse,
Out of the 108 Lord Tokens in the entire Plane, excluding the more than twenty obtained by the younger generation and those lost, there were 53 Lords present.
Among the Five Great Seven-Star Sanctuaries, almost every force sent seven to eight Lords, while only one Lord was left to guard each of the remaining Five- and Six-Star Sacred Lands, with all other Lords present. Several Lord-level loose cultivators with no force affiliations were also in attendance.
This was a feast for Lords!
