Chapter 2093 - 1920: Gutai Mountain

The Gutai Mountain Range is three hundred thousand miles from the Red Blood Lake. Even for ordinary cultivators, reaching it would take some time, but for a few people, it is only a day’s journey.

Gu Qingyang had Guu Jiuhua to lead the way, and so the group completely crossed over and descended into the Gutai Mountain Range within a day.

The Gutai Mountain Range was originally just a relatively famous Barbaric Mountain Range in the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. It was inherited from the Dark Blood Era, and was once a battlefield of the Ten Thousand Clan and Primordial Ancient Beasts. In those days, the invincible Ancestor God, Gutai Ancestor God, achieved the position here, stepped into the Ancient Monarch Domain, and became a famous supreme powerhouse.

Thus, the Gutai Mountain Range became famous, and many people visited it to commemorate and experience the brutal era of darkness. It also stands as a testament to the Ancestor God Gutai’s path to becoming a king.

Indeed, across the ages, many Great Power Level Supreme Experts have closed themselves off here at the end of their lifespan, hoping to gain insights from Ancestor God Gutai’s path and break through their shackles to take the final step to become an Ancient Monarch.

Of course, none have succeeded!

However, at this moment, the Gutai Mountain Range is much livelier than usual. Besides some small towns and cities nearby, there are floating halls, thronging the air like a flourishing ancient city.

Among them are some floating Divine Islands, radiantly colorful with misty Dao Rhythm.

In the sky, numerous powerful cultivators from various clans fly across, either stepping on Immortal Swords, riding various Exotic Beasts, or soaring with chariots and War Chariots, creating an atmosphere of prosperity that was unimaginable not long ago in the ordinary Gutai Mountain Range.

Furthermore, there are hidden talents among them. Even Great Power Level figures are quite common, and Heavenly Kings are even more numerous, while Saints have become the lowest tier individuals, and the followers accompanying these Divinity Transformation are the slaves of various clans.

Ye Chen and his companions marveled, as the attraction of the Emperor Dao Inheritance was indeed immense.

Markets have even emerged within the Gutai Mountain Range, specifically for trading, where top powers like Ancient Divine Clans and Royal Clans can be found, along with many young talents appearing, all naturally drawn there for the Emperor Dao Inheritance.

Any daring young Heavenly Pride appearing here typically has at least reached the Third Realm of the Heavenly King, which would suffice to be a force to be reckoned with on the Human List of Earthly Talents.

But among these young Heavenly Talents, Gu Qingyang can only be considered the lowest tier.

Yet, only a suspected Emperor Dao Inheritance appearing could attract so many young Heavenly Talents; otherwise, it would not be like this. On a normal day, the presence of a few talents from the Human List would be considered a grand event for the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.

Fortunately, Gu Qingyang is still quite young, having only cultivated for less than two hundred years and already reaching this realm—unachievable by ordinary Heavenly Talents, further earning Ye Chen’s remark that he could evolve into a Pure Blood True Dragon.

Naturally, many can see that numerous talents from the Earthly List are present, all within the Great Power Realm, exuding extraordinary charisma, and carrying an air of arrogance that ordinary Great Powers can’t approach. They are often surrounded by groups of powerful followers.

Ye Chen and his friends appear quite ordinary. None among them is overly conspicuous, leading many to mistake them for just ordinary Heavenly Pride on the road. Ye Chen doesn’t mind this perception and is glad to observe the happenings in the Gutai Mountain Range in concealment.

Guu Jiuhua has spies among the Red-scaled Demon Dragon clan in the Gutai Mountain Range, gathering quite a bit of significant intelligence.

With the emergence of the Chaos Pure Land, a total of twelve Ancient Divine Clans and thirty-two Royal Clans have appeared, along with countless other forces. An intentional contest of the Heavenly Talents seems to be taking place, nurturing the ability of these supreme talents. Leaders from various major forces are acting as heads, with other powerful supporters assisting.

Ye Chen understood that every major force of the Ten Thousand Clans wished to swiftly nurture their supreme talents, otherwise, they would have no hope in the future battle for the "Supreme" Immortal Fate.

"The appearance of twelve Ancient Divine Clans—" Ye Chen mused, then asked, "Have all twelve Ancient Divine Clans’ Emperor’s sons and daughters arrived?"

For Ye Chen, the greatest threats are these Emperor’s sons and daughters.

Guu Jiuhua shook his head with a wry smile, "As of now, we know that the Hua Dynasty, Duan Dynasty, Mahayana Clan, Brahma Clan, Life Tree Clan, and Golden Clan’s Emperor’s sons and daughters have appeared. The presence of Emperor’s sons and daughters from the other six Ancient Divine Clans remains unconfirmed."

After all, the Red-scaled Demon Dragon clan has fallen from prominence, unable to uncover truly secret information. Knowing that Emperor’s sons and daughters from six Ancient Divine Clans are present is already quite remarkable.

The emergence of six Ancient Divine Clans’ Emperor’s sons and daughters and the uncertainty regarding the other six already presents a threatening force.

Moreover, Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with a fearsome sharpness as he realized that even Emperor’s sons and daughters from alien races were set to appear.

"Honored young lords, there will be an unconventional Stone Appraisal Gathering at the Longevity Hall tonight, attracting participation from forces all around. It is said to be quite grand. Are you interested in attending?" Guu Jiuhua suddenly asked.

Stone Appraisal Event?

Ye Chen seemed to understand and said, "Are you talking about appraising Chaos Primordial Stones?"

Gu Jiuhua smiled and said, "Exactly so. When the Chaos Pure Land emerged, some Chaos Primordial Stones flew out and were discovered by the Changsheng Emperor Clan. They were cut open, some contained Chaos Divine Items, some were empty, and some harbored dangerous things, causing significant losses. Therefore, the Changsheng Emperor Clan does not want to suffer disaster again and hopes to sell them for a good price."

"Even though our Red-scaled Demon Dragon tribe has fallen into decline, our ancestors included the Red Blood Dragon Emperor, who was a descendant of the Ancestor God and achieved great merits. Therefore, when the Changsheng Emperor Clan holds the stone appraisal event at the Longevity Hall, they also sent us an invitation."

In response, Ye Chen merely smiled.

It would be different for others, but Ye Chen had already cut open several Chaos Primordial Stones before the Pill Emperor Clan’s Pill Scripture in the past, revealing extraordinary things. One of them was the current Little Bumpkin, suspected to be a descendant of the Red Blood Dragon Emperor.

Hence, Ye Chen was looking forward to the stone appraisal event being held tonight.

However, there were still several hours before nightfall, so Ye Chen was not in a hurry. There were also quite a few markets in the Gutai Mountains, and various major forces of the Ten Thousand Clans participated, including top-tier powers like the Ancient Divine Clan and Immortal Clan, where treasures might be found.

Ye Chen and his companions strolled around the market and indeed found some good treasures. Among them was a Chaos Heavenly Stone, this kind of invaluable divine material that even Ancient Monarchs would covet. However, it was only thumb-sized, and the stall owner, from the Emperor Clan, set a high price and thus Ye Chen did not pursue it.

Moreover, Ye Chen wasn’t particularly interested in such divine materials, as he had already harvested immensely from the Emperor’s Hidden World of the Jiuyan Emperor Clan.

On the way, Gu Qingyang kept exclaiming——

"My heavens, isn’t that the Ninth Divine Son of the Nine-cornered Royal Family? Ranked 123rd on the Earthly List of Super Talents!"

"This is Xia Zhantian from the Three Ancient Royal Families, not weaker than the Ninth Divine Son, ranked 117th on the Earthly List!"

"Jiantian from the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan is here too, ranked 97th on the Earthly List!"

On the road, they encountered quite a few Royal Family experts, among them were top-talented individuals from the Royal Family, who were eminent figures within the Great Power Realm, and from the Earthly List they were undoubtedly ranked within the top 200.

These Earthly List super talents were prominent figures rarely seen, for someone like Gu Qingyang who could at most rank on the Human List, these super talents were lofty figures to be revered.

Even the old enemy Jiantian from the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan showed up, personally appearing far stronger than the previous Divine Thought Avatar.

But Ye Chen and his companions masked their presence, and no matter how powerful Jiantian was, he could not detect Ye Chen and his group, who covertly diverged away.

In response, Ye Chen simply ignored them, having previously asked the Red-scaled Demon Dragon tribe to monitor the situation with the Xiasang Tribe, finding that the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan did not act against them. Thus, Ye Chen refrained from acting, also unwilling to scare the snake too soon by exposing his identity.

Naturally, even the unparalleled talent Jiantian from the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan’s young generation within the deepest part of the Heavenly Realm ancient domain came, illustrating how grand and eye-catching the opening of the Chaos Pure Land was.

Regarding Gu Qingyang’s constant exclamations, Gu Jiuhua seemed somewhat helpless, as this offspring did not realize that the four young ones in front were far more terrifying than those Royal Family talents.

However, Ye Chen and the others didn’t bother to explain intentionally, they merely smiled and didn’t mind.

At the market, Ye Chen also found some rare items, some were even related to the medicinal materials needed for pill crafting. Despite the high price, they were purchased after negotiation and he then left.

That night, under the moonlight like water, the Gutai Mountains were ablaze with lights, buildings towering in the sky, illuminating the dark Gutai Mountains, bright as daytime.

Among many floating palaces, the one standing central appeared particularly magnificent and grand, majestic and solemn, carved with patterns of the Ten Thousand Clans, shrouded in immortal mist, it was the Longevity Hall.

Tonight, a unique stone appraisal event was about to be held at the Longevity Hall by the Changsheng Emperor Clan, inviting various forces to participate, including other Emperor Clans, Royal Clans, and numerous top-tier forces.

Though the Red-scaled Demon Dragon tribe has declined, it was ultimately an Ancient Clan where the Ancestor God appeared in the Dark Blood Era, respected by all sides, and they were eligible for an invitation.

During this, Ye Chen and his companions naturally went together.
