Chapter 127.1: Another Treasure Hunting Rat; Countless Opportunities in the Ancient Immortal Continent!
Three days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
Mighty cultivators gathered in the depths of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace where immortal mist covered the sky and splendid treasures came to life here and there.
The Young Supremes rode their unique mounts — some resembled black cows covered in scales, and others resembled gigantic Pengs that flew around like lightning.
Young cultivators from the various heritages rode atop warships and flying boats, too.
Countless cultivators who were qualified to take part in the expedition arrived on the scene.
“Once the younger generation enters the Continent, it won’t be our responsibility if they live or die. The older generations of the aborigines inside the Continent won’t take action, so everyone will have to depend on their ability to get their hands on any opportunity.”
An Elder appeared in the sky and spread his words to the ears of every cultivator by amplifying his voice.
Right now, all the partic.i.p.ants stared at the ma.s.sive crack in front of them with excitement burning in their eyes.
They could already see the stretches and mountains of the Ancient Immortal Continent.
There were majestic mountains with colorful lights and fog covering them, and expansive plains that gave rise to fear in their hearts.
Even further away, they could see immortal lights that went up and down, runes that appeared and disappeared with a flash, and rays of the Great Dao that zoomed in every direction.
No wonder it was an Immortal Continent rarely seen even in a million years!
The rest of the Elders of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace also appeared in the sky.
Beside them was a person who had mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon embroidered on his sleeves, while another wore a purple-gold gown that made him resemble an old emperor.
There was also an old daoist holding a horsetail whisk in his hand and a beautiful woman dressed in cloud-patterned robes.
They were mighty existences from the other Dao Heritages. They arrived here to guard the entrance of the Ancient Immortal Continent, so as to make sure that no aborigines would make it out of the Continent once it opened.
“The results of the Sikong Family’s divination were correct; the Immortal Spirit will appear here this time!”
The middle-aged man with the mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon on his robes couldn’t help but sigh when he looked at the thick fog that rumbled through the ma.s.sive crack.
The beautiful woman in cloud-patterned robes couldn’t help but smile with pride when she heard his words, and said, “That’s natural! My Sikong Family’s divination ability is said to be able to do anything — it can see through life and death, break yin and yang, and even calculate the fate of immortals!”
“This time, the mighty and the weak are mixed together, so let all the juniors pay attention to their surroundings and everyone around them, since the successor of the Taboo Inheritance has already appeared in the world…”
“Make sure they aren’t tricked into getting murdered in there.”
When they finished speaking, the leaders of the younger generation of the various Dao Heritages also appeared on the scene in the form of brilliant rays of different colors.
Peng Fei, the Young Master of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Family was covered in a golden light that seemed to pour gold in every direction.
Ye Langtian, the Young Master of the Ancient Immortal Ye Family, was surrounded by spirits like an ancient emperor.
w.a.n.g Wushuang of the incomparably mysterious Ancient Immortal w.a.n.g Family, the Heir of the Immortal Lake…
All of them were mighty Young Supremes with majestic auras!
Divine lights loomed around their figures and brilliant runes flashed in their vicinity every now and then.
Tian Rong was also one of the Young Supremes. As soon as he appeared, he swept his knife-like gaze in every direction that made the void tremble and almost caused a fire in his surroundings.
Countless cultivators trembled when they felt his gaze.
Although they claimed that the Ancient Immortal Continent was open to all from the younger generation, getting the better opportunities was nothing more than a pipe dream for them.
Once they enter, they would have to make sure not to cross one of these Young Supremes.
[Whoosh!]
[Whoosh!]
[Whoosh!]
One after another, divine rays of light flew across the sky as they arrived from the rest of the mountains and islands of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace.
A large group of young men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes adorned with colorful feathers arrived on top of beasts that resembled vermillion birds.
The one who led the group had a pet.i.te figure and delicate but prideful features, and she was none other than the Holy Maiden of the Vermillion Bird Family.
Not far behind her followed a large group of her followers, and Ye Ling, who had disguised himself, was among that group of followers.
Ye Ling felt a burst of emotion in his heart when his gaze fell on the majestic islands and immortal mountains. They were inside the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace, indeed. The other heritages he saw in the past couldn’t compare to the Palace in any way.
Since he had disguised himself and mixed with the others, he wasn’t worried about someone figuring out his ident.i.ty, and that brought great peace to his mind.
‘The Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace is worthy of its status as the hegemon of Immeasurable Heaven. What we see right now is probably only the tip of the iceberg since there’s no way they are letting us see their true roots.’
Ye Ling looked at the crack in s.p.a.ce not too far away from him with excitement. After all, according to the old turtle in the pendant, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation left an opportunity inside the Ancient Immortal Continent.
Once he obtained that opportunity, it wouldn’t be hard for him to raise his Cultivation Base and clear himself from the name of the Taboo Inheritance’s successor.
Right then, several terrifying rays of light suddenly rushed over from the east.
A large group of powerful young geniuses rushed over from there. The one leading the group was a handsome man with a slender figure; he wore a feathered star crown, and the sleeves of his spotless, white robes fluttered in the wind to give him an extraordinary appearance.
The large group of followers behind him — including True Disciples of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace — gave off an imposing aura that shook their surroundings.
‘Gu Changge…’
Ye Ling’s pupils shrank and flames of hatred burned in his eyes for a moment before he reigned everything in.
True, he had never seen Gu Changge before, but he could immediately recognize the man in front of him as the successor of the Taboo Inheritance who pinned all the blame on his head.
Still, Ye Ling wasn’t someone who couldn’t control his emotions, so he showed no abnormality on his face.
He understood that he couldn’t let Gu Changge sense anything abnormal from him.
The more he looked at Gu Changge, the more he felt that he resembled that figure he met that night, and this realization made Ye Ling clench his fists.
But soon, Ye Ling was taken aback by disbelief when he saw Chi Ling walk towards Gu Changge with a smile.
“Brother Changge, I hope you will take care of us during this trip to the Ancient Immortal Continent.”
Chi Ling smiled when she saw Gu Changge, and took the initiative to greet Gu Changge.
Gu Changge stood on a mountain peak and responded to her with a smile, “You are too polite, Lady Chi Ling.”
Behind him stood a group of his followers, as well as the True Disciples of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace, including Yin Mei, Jin Zhou, and the others.
All of them were mighty Young Supremes who had already reached the Conferred King Realm, and all of them were commanded to follow Gu Changge’s lead on this expedition.
After that, Gu Changge swept a glance at the followers behind Chi Ling. Before long, his gaze momentarily stopped on a man with a handsome face, and he showed a meaningful smile.
He could naturally tell that Ye Ling would mix in with her followers and sneak in.
Ye Ling’s method of disguise was amazing, indeed, since it could even cover up his origin using the Power of Reincarnation, but it couldn’t help him hide from Gu Changge’s perception.
After all, how could Ye Ling hide the dazzling Fortune bursting from his body which Gu Changge could view through the System?
He had around five thousand points of Fortune Value.
Gu Changge couldn’t help but envy him.
Of course, he made sure not to show any strangeness on his face as he calmly swept his gaze around without letting anyone know that he was specifically looking for someone.
If Ye Ling wasn’t braindead, then he must have already figured out that the one who framed him was none other than him.
But what could he do even if he knew that?
Was he going to expose himself just to expose him?
Gu Changge merely sneered in his heart at that thought and ignored it.
If it weren’t for Ye Ling’s role as his scapegoat, he would have already killed Ye Ling.
What’s more? He was looking forward to using Ye Ling as one of his treasure-hunting rats, since he was a Favored Son of Heaven.
The Favored Son of Heaven he met in the Lower Realm helped him enter the core region of the Ancient Heavenly Secret Realm without facing any obstruction, so Ye Ling must also help him clear his path.
