Chapter 263 The Accursed Sense of Destiny
The envoys from the Three Realms all assured obediently, solemnly promising their cooperation. After their assurances, Gu Lan gestured for the envoys from the Demon Realm and the Underworld to depart, leaving only Niu Laosan, a representative from the Demon Realm, behind.
It was unclear why Gu Lan singled him out, but it made Niu Laosan tremble with apprehension.
"Senior, I am the most honest person, I promise not to cause any trouble," Niu Laosan earnestly declared. "Earlier, two youngsters fought with me for quite some time, and I did not retaliate."
In truth, he did retaliate, but Gu Lan's disciple, Zhe Liang, possessed a formidable technique that prevented him from landing a blow... So, could it really be considered retaliation?
Niu Laosan wore a simple and honest expression, repeatedly assuring Gu Lan. "I kept you here not to hear your assurances," Gu Lan interrupted. "Continue." Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire
Gu Lan, impatient with idle chatter, retrieved an bronze coffin. Seeing the immense bronze coffin, Niu Laosan jumped in surprise.
Especially upon examining it closely, he widened his eyes in shock. "It looks so familiar... like I've heard of it somewhere before..."
Observing the intricate runes flowing on the demon coffin, Niu Laosan muttered to himself. Legend had it that within the depths of the Demon God Prison lay an endless Hellfire Abyss, sealed by an ancient coffin. Considering its aura and appearance, it was hard not to draw parallels with the coffin before him...
Though Niu Laosan had only glimpsed a picture in his clan's ancient records, he wasn't certain if these two coffins were the same.
"After you complete the ferrying task, take this bronze coffin back to the Demon Realm," Gu Lan instructed. "Remember! You must take good care of this item; it holds great significance for your Minotaur clan."
Gu Lan emphasized sternly. "I see!" Niu Laosan exclaimed confidently. "With the coffin, I, Laosan, am absolutely reliable!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Laosan's expression shifted from panic to familiarity towards Gu Lan.
Gu Lan, however, regarded Niu Laosan's solemn assurance with some bewilderment, questioning whether this individual chosen by Chiyang Saint Sovereign was truly dependable. Nevertheless, there were no other options at present...
Three days later, in the Tianqiong Mountain of the Jing Nation...
Located not far from the Jing Nation's imperial dynasty, Tianqiong Mountain served as a convergence point for Destiny, designated by the envoys from the Three Realms as an ascension node.
Simultaneously, they spread the news of selecting individuals for ascension.
Countless cultivators flocked here upon hearing the news. The opportunity to ascend to the Upper Realm was irresistible, whether to pursue greater power or longevity.
Becoming an immortal in the mortal realm was exceedingly rare, achievable only by those with extraordinary talent.
However, ascending to the Upper Realm, be it the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, Underworld, or the legendary Immortal Realm, offered greater opportunities than remaining in the mortal realm.
Before the election began, cultivators were unwilling to camp in the wilderness and all rushed to the capital of the Jing Nation. Consequently, the inns of the Jing Nation's capital were all fully occupied.@@@@
Having arrived at the city gates of the capital, Chen Feng also heard this news. As a lone wolf, he received the news quite late. Decisively, Chen Feng turned towards Tianqiong Mountain.
Having obtained the inheritance of the King Rank, his strength was also at the King Rank. Among peers of his age, who could be his match? Challenging across ranks was not impossible!
"Envoys of the Three Realms, wait for me! I am the destined Lower Realm genius you seek. This mortal realm is ultimately too small. Pursuing enlightenment to the utmost here is exceedingly difficult. It is better to ascend..."
Chen Feng declared confidently, full of vigor. In no time, he arrived at the foot of Tianqiong Mountain.
Observing the young cultivators coming and going, Chen Feng felt somewhat excited, as if he had returned home.
"The words spoken just now may have been exaggerated under the guise of the title of 'Guardian of Jing Nation.' A single sword strike... Ha, it can't be true!"
The old man sighed deeply. At the same time, a hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes.
He was the esteemed ancestor of Thousand Souls Town, yet he was still a cultivator of the Lower Realm.
Masters naturally didn't want to be inferior to others.
But he couldn't deceive himself.
For cultivators in the mortal realm to surpass cultivators from the Upper Realm was simply as difficult as reaching the heavens!
This was an indisputable fact.
Luan Xiaoyao remained silent upon hearing this.
She actually couldn't believe that someone could kill an envoy from the Immortal Realm.
But if that person was the Guardian of Tianji Pavilion, she... still wanted to believe there was a possibility, after all, she had seen him once in the capital of Jing Nation.
As she pondered...
"What the elder said is wrong!"
"We cultivators defy the heavens!"
"Let alone just a mere envoy from the Immortal Realm! Even if heaven and earth stand against me, I will overturn this world!"
A piece of overly passionate and juvenile dialogue reached the ears of the two.
Full of fervor!
Luan Xiaoyao looked over and saw a young man confidently smiling as he approached.
As he walked, he didn't forget to greet them.
That person naturally was Chen Feng.
Those words were his most genuine thoughts.
He didn't believe in predestination. As long as he wished it, anything was possible.
Just like his journey so far, for every obstacle he faced, there was an opportunity.
The old man and the girl before him seemed to be his opportunity!
So, he threw out the sentence he had been saying frequently these days:
"Miss, you seem very familiar to me. I wonder if we've met somewhere?"
