Chapter 141: The Ancient Land of Tianmeng Opens (Second Update)

  Splash! Splash!

  The monster had not yet landed when two young figures rushed down, their speed like lightning.

  One of them was as sturdy as a mountain, with a height of over 2.2 meters, even bigger than Xiao Ye, while the other had a 'yin' aura, with eyes that shone with a faint cold light, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike.

  "Lin Yue, the seventh product of Xiangshan Country's 'Men' Gate - a great disciple of Longhushan; Wei Dong She, the seventh product of Qiansi Country's 'Men' Gate - a great disciple of Qingzhu Men. These two have also entered the realm of Bao Yuan, ranking 70th and 66th respectively in the previous Hidden Dragon List."

  Listening to Luo Hanshan's introduction, Ye Chenruo was deep in thought. Among the thirteen strong men on the Hidden Dragon List, two had not broken through to the Embracing Yuan Realm, but this did not mean they could be underestimated. After all, a year and a half ago, they were able to squeeze into the Hidden Dragon List with their cultivation at the late stage of the Condensing Truth Realm, and their combat strength was much stronger than that of Beixue Gongzi and Duanmu Gongzi, let alone today, a year and a half later.

  Compared with them, the strength of Tianfeng Country's princes is somewhat unimpressive, and quasi-princes are absolutely at the bottom.

  "Heh heh, so many people have arrived, and there are still many old familiar faces." Lin Yue twisted his neck, the crackling sound of his bones squeezing together was continuous.

  Wei Dong swept his gaze over the crowd, sneering. "Apart from those familiar old faces on the rankings, everyone else is trash. I hope they don't run into me, or else they'll be killed without mercy."

  "The killing intent is still so heavy! However, you have to be careful of Zhuang Fei. In the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, he was hit by your palm, and this time he will definitely come back." Lin Yue fanned the flames and said.

  "He barely qualifies as an opponent, I'll indulge him."

  Although the two people spoke in a low voice, those with good hearing still heard them.

  The other side of Emerald Valley.

  Several core disciples were indignant.

  "This guy is too arrogant, does he think he can defeat Big Brother?"

  "Hmph, with Master Brother breaking through to the Embracing Origin Realm, he will surely lead the Emerald Valley to prosperity. How can he possibly stop him? He's overestimating himself."

  Zhuang Fei stopped a few people from discussing and said indifferently: "Just go in and kill him, don't talk too much."

  "Yes!"

  Several people were like awed gods and immediately quieted down.

  Night falls quickly.

  The black night of the Red Desert is colder than imagined, with ice crystals forming on the surface of the sand, as hard as iron.

  "This devilish desert."

  Many of the younger generation of the 'Gate' sect disciples couldn't help but shiver and cursed under their breath.

  In the thick tent, Ye Chen was meditating.

  His current true energy cultivation is close to the late peak of the Condensing True Realm, but ultimately lacks foundation and cannot make a final push to reach the summit.

  On the continent of Zhenling, the cultivation progress of warriors is not a pattern. Some people accumulate thickly and burst forth, able to advance greatly all at once, while others tread carefully, one step at a time, leaving behind a clear footprint. Still, others charge forward with all their might to reach a certain realm, only to be stuck there for a long time due to exhaustion of their accumulated energy.

  Ye Chen currently belongs to the second type, one step at a time, steady and down-to-earth. The first type is not that he doesn't want to, but rather he didn't have the time to accumulate foundation, his actual cultivation time added up does not exceed two years, how can he compare with others? As for the third type, its drawbacks are too great, very few people will choose it.

  The benefit of taking it one step at a time is that you can master your current strength more quickly, exerting 100% of your power to the peak, without any waste.

  A night without words.

  It was already noon on the second day.

  There were many more sects that arrived, including the Purple Sun Sect of Tianfeng Nation, the Northern Snow Manor and the Southern Luo Sect. Of course, there was also the only ninth-grade family in Tianfeng Nation, the Duanmu Family.

  "So many experts."

  Ouyang Lie and others inhaled a mouthful of cold air, their haughty demeanor suddenly retracted.

  Yedu looked over casually, and was slightly surprised to see that Yuan Xue Mei had also arrived. The other party seemed to be ranked outside of the top six in the Nan Luo Sect. Of course, her innate talent and comprehension were indeed very good, perhaps the Sect Master of the Nan Luo Sect wanted her to gain some experience for this reason.

  "Here comes another group of people looking for death."

  The original hawk and dove have no blood cold smile.

  The third day.

  A red sun rises from the east, dyeing the Ergu Desert a bloody color.

  "The Tianyuan Ancient Land will open in half a time, you all hand over the Storage Spirit Rings to me." The Great Elder gathered the four and said.

  Lu Hanshan was astonished, "Great Elder, what is the meaning of this?"

  The Great Elder laughed and said, "It's strange that I didn't think of it earlier. The Tianmeng Ancient Land is located in the gap between spaces, forming a small world on its own, but it's different from the world we're in. The Tianmeng Ancient Land repels all external space, so the storage spirit ring inlaid with spatial crystal stones will be strongly repelled. Once a warrior enters it, they will be crushed into powder by the powerful spatial force."

  So that's how it was!

  Everyone understood, one by one took off their storage spirit rings and 'handed' them over to the Great Elder.

  Put away the storage ring, the elder said: "Don't worry, the storage ring is your 'private' property, without your permission, we won't check it."

  This is for the best! Ye Chen was really afraid that the Great Elder would check his storage ring, inside which there were over 10,000 pieces of low-grade spirit stones, a low-grade treasure knife, and a mid-grade storage ring. He wasn't quite clear on just how rare and precious a mid-grade storage ring was, but he had never seen any inner sect elder wearing one on their finger.

  He let out a bitter laugh. Perhaps he was thinking that the elder would covet his mediocre Storage Ring? Not likely.

  Of course, Ye Chen did not think this was shameful. His motto in life was to be careful and cautious, and that if he didn't cultivate good habits today, it might lead to big troubles later on. Some things, even if you trusted the other person, shouldn't be revealed completely.

  Like a rugged mountain range, the cyan rainbow grew more intense, and the illusory light 'gate' was no longer an illusion, as if crafted from crystal, embedded within the cyan rainbow.

  Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

  Ah!

  The gate creaked open slowly, and a loud voice shook people's hearts.

  The old man let out a mouthful of turbid air and said solemnly, "Everyone go in. Remember, no matter where you are transmitted to, stay calm and don't mess up your formation."

  "Yes!"

  The four of them were just about to step out and leave.

  Whoosh!

  "Haha, Tianmeng Ancient Land is being occupied by various sects, what right do you have to stop us from entering? Today, no one can block my way."

  Sand and dust flew everywhere, two figures shot towards the light gate at an extremely fast speed, almost reaching the speed of sound, producing a strong sonic boom.

  Two mid-term Wu warriors in the Embracing Yuan Realm!

  Ye Chen stopped in his tracks, astonished in his heart, and didn't know where the other party came from, actually hiding under everyone's eyelids.

  It's strange that the elders of various sects didn't stop them. A few shook their heads in disappointment, while more sneered coldly.

  Hmph!

  Hmph!

  A stunning scene unfolded

  The two of them were like moths flying into a flame, instantly incinerated by the intense blue light, leaving not even a single trace behind, including the storage spirit ring on their fingers.

  "Foolishness! If anyone could get in, would it have been your turn? The great masters of each sect had already gone up."

  "The rules of the ancient land of Tianmeng are strange, only those with a bone age not exceeding 24 can enter safely, and even those who can change their own bone age and have a strong life and death boundary find it difficult to do so."

  The soul force sensed the discussions of many people, Ye Chen was stunned, no wonder they didn't stop him, it turned out that they had known the truth all along. It's easy to understand when you think about it, Tian Meng Gu has been around for a long time, and the major sects must have studied it thoroughly, otherwise they wouldn't have let their best disciples enter it to accumulate wealth.

  "I went in first."

  The first to act was the eldest son of the Evil Blood Sect, Jiū Wú Xuè. He stretched out his body and transformed into a blood thorn, darting into the light 'gate' and disappearing without a trace.

  Almost at the same time, other masters of the Hidden Dragon List followed closely behind, their extremely fast-moving figures trailing different-colored auras that were quite a sight to behold.

  Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz...

  The next moment

  Like a plague of locusts, more than 600 disciples of the sect rushed towards the Bright Gate in droves, an endless stream, with some even breaking into internal strife and exchanging blows along the way.

  "Let's go in too!"

  Seeing everyone leaving, Luo Hanshan couldn't wait any longer and rushed towards the light 'door'.

  "What a magnificent wave!"

  Ye Chen saw so many young masters gathered in one place for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He shook his head slightly and followed Xu Jing into the light gate, looking neither rushed nor slow.

  "Ouyang Lie, Ouyang Ming, you two remember, if you encounter a disciple of the Liu Yun Sect, kill them if possible, absolutely do not show mercy. If the situation permits, you can join forces with people from other sects to ambush and assassinate them, especially that little brat named Ye Chen." The elder of the Zi Yang Sect transmitted his voice to his eldest disciple Ouyang Lie and second disciple Ouyang Ming.

  Ou Yangming's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he replied in a cold tone: "Elder, rest assured. Even if you didn't remind me, I would still make the four great disciples of Liu Yunzong suffer a crushing defeat. As for that Ye Chen, although he is somewhat troublesome, he won't be able to take me down. He will eventually have his own bitter battles with others."

  "Not bad, that's exactly what I meant." The purple sun sect elder 'Yin' smiled slyly.

  Ouyang Lie said with a stern expression: "As long as I'm here, those four won't be leaving alive."

  "I'm counting on you."

  Hiss! Hiss!

  Two people enter the light 'gate' with an unmentionable purpose.

  The other four disciples of the Zi Yang Sect followed him up.

  On the side of Liuyun Sect, the four elders noticed this subtle scene and transmitted their true energy to the Great Elder, "The Purple Yang Sect gang won't play any 'hidden' tricks, will they?"

  The Great Elder said: "Entering the Tianmeng Ancient Land, life and death are at peace with heaven's will. We must believe that they can come out alive, and also counter-kill the Zi Yang Sect disciples."

  "Hum, Luo Hanshan and Xu Jing are ruthless, Zhu Mei is a bit softer, as for Ye Chen, he can't see through it, doesn't know whether to spare lives or not."

  "Don't underestimate Ye Chen, at critical moments, he is more ruthless than anyone."

  As soon as he entered the light 'gate', Ye Chen felt that space was distorted, nothing could be seen, and nothing could be sensed, becoming blind with his eyes open. Then, his body became light and floaty, as if he was being transmitted over a long distance at an unimaginable speed.

  I don't know how long it's been.

  Ye Chen appeared in a vast swamp, surrounded by either bubbling grey mud or strange giant trees, with an occasional hissing sound.
