350. Chapter 350: Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion!
The entire process lasted for three full days and three nights. When the last trace of energy was also absorbed, Gu Fei suddenly opened his eyes.
A terrifying aura erupted from within his body, and the entire mountain cave trembled violently under this pressure. Countless fragments of rock fell from the cave ceiling, and cracks appeared on the mountain walls.
"Initial stage of Nine-Star Dou Saint!"
Gu Fei whispered to himself, a flash of pleasant surprise crossing his eyes. He could clearly feel that his strength was more than a hundred times greater than before. Now, he already possessed the strength to do battle with a Nine-Star Dou Sheng Peak.
"It seems that the distance to Dou Di is not far now."
Gu Fei muttered to himself. As Gu Fei broke through to Nine-Star Dou Saint, an astonishing aura spread out from the Ancient Realm. The entire Central Plains Continent shook because of it, and countless experts raised their heads to look at the sky, their eyes filled with shock.
Ancient Realm, atop a towering mountain peak.
Gu Fei sat cross-legged, golden light shining all over his body, and countless profound runes flowed across his skin. His handsome face carried a trace of satisfaction, and his eyes shimmered with the light of wisdom.
The aftershocks of the breakthrough gradually subsided, and Gu Fei slowly opened his eyes. He could clearly feel the surging power within his body, as if the entire world were under his control.
Just at this moment, a heaven-shaking dragon roar suddenly came from the distant horizon. One could see over a dozen massive figures tearing through the air, each figure emitting a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate.
Leading them was none other than Zi Yan; her beautiful face carried a look of joy, and her lovely eyes shimmered with excitement.
"Husband, congratulations on breaking through to Nine-Star Dou Saint!"
Zi Yan said excitedly, her voice clear and melodious.
Gu Fei smiled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed powerful auras surging from all directions. He frowned slightly and swept his gaze toward the distance.
One could see countless streaks of light cutting through the long sky, like brilliant galaxies. That scene was truly spectacular.
Soon, one figure after another appeared before Gu Fei. Leading them were Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and several other Clan Leaders of the Ancient Races.
"Congratulations to young friend Gu Fei for breaking through to Nine-Star Dou Saint!"
Yan Jin said with a chuckle, his crimson eyes shimmering with admiration.
"Indeed, for young friend Gu Fei to reach this realm at such an age truly makes us feel ashamed."
Lei Ying also sighed sincerely, his face full of respect.
The other Clan Leaders also offered their congratulations one after another, their words filled with praise and admiration. They knew very well that with talent like Gu Fei's, he would certainly aim for the legendary realm of Dou Di in the future.
With the current foundation of the Ancient Clan, even if the other clans formed an Allied Forces, they would not be opponents. Therefore, the Yan, Lei, Yao, Ling, and Shi clans all came here to offer congratulations without prior agreement, and they brought important gifts.
"Young friend Gu Fei, after discussing it, we have decided to offer up the Ancient Jade of our respective clans to open the Ancient Emperor's inheritance."
Yao Dan spoke slowly, his tone respectful.
As he spoke, the five Clan Leaders took out their Ancient Jade one after another and handed them toward Gu Fei. Just at this moment, Gu Yuan walked over. "Gu Fei, you have now reached Nine-Star Dou Saint. Logically speaking, if there is an Embryonic Pill in the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, then the one most qualified to consume it would be me, the Clan Leader."
"However, I also understand that your talent far exceeds mine, and you are also a member of this clan. As an elder, I have decided to yield that opportunity to you."
Gu Yuan spoke slowly, his voice low and aged. "Many thanks, Clan Leader!"
Gu Fei had no reason to refuse. Soon, the group set off for the Black-Corner Region, where Jia Nan Academy was located. Gu Fei and the others did not linger and went straight to the depths of the academy.
Under Gu Yuan's instructions, the personnel in the academy were quickly dismissed.
"Are you ready?"
Gu Yuan turned his head to look at Gu Fei. Gu Fei nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly took out the six pieces of Ancient Jade.
"Boom—!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the earth suddenly trembled violently. Immediately following, a surge of scorching magma erupted from beneath the ground, shooting straight into the clouds.
The entrance to the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion had opened! "Is this the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion?"
Yan Jin could not help but say. However, what was even more shocking was yet to come.
Just at the moment the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion was completely revealed, a massive figure suddenly descended from the sky.
It was a pitch-black giant dragon, its body several thousand zhang long, emitting a terrifying aura that was suffocating. At this moment, its eyes, which were as brilliant as stars, shimmered with the light of wisdom as it looked down at the people below.
"The... the old Dragon Emperor!"
Gu Yuan had never expected that the legendary old Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan would actually appear here.
Just as everyone was shocked, Zi Yan suddenly soared into the sky.
"Father!"
Zi Yan called out with a trembling voice. Upon hearing this, a trace of gentleness flashed in the old Dragon Emperor's deep eyes. It slowly lowered its head and gently nudged Zi Yan's body.
"My child, you have grown up."
The old Dragon Emperor's voice was low and grand, filled with paternal love.
After a long while, Zi Yan reluctantly returned to the ground.
"Alright, it is time to go in."
Gu Yuan said, his gaze falling upon the towering Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded one after another.
The next moment, the group filed in one by one and disappeared behind that thick, heavy door.
Inside the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, a magnificent and spectacular scene unfolded before everyone's eyes. Looking around, one could see countless giant stone pillars standing in the great hall, each pillar carved with profound runes, emitting a faint glow.
The dome of the hall was impossibly high, as if it could lead straight to the sky. Countless strange runes flowed across the dome, forming mysterious patterns. That scene was truly spectacular.
"What an astonishing aura!"
Yan Jin could not help but exclaim. The others also widened their eyes, staring fixedly at their surroundings.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Gu Yuan could not help but be stunned by the scene before him at this moment.
Just as everyone was stunned, Gu Fei suddenly spoke: "There seems to be something ahead."
Upon hearing this, everyone cast their gazes forward.
One could see a brilliant screen of light slowly rising at the end of the hall.
"That is... the Yi Huo Guang Chang!"
A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Gu Yuan's eyes.
Hearing this, the crowd could not help but gasp in a cold breath.
They all knew that the Yi Huo Guang Chang was one of the most important places within the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion.
Legend had it that the most powerful Exotic Fire between heaven and earth gathered there.
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
Gu Fei said in a deep voice, taking the lead to step forward.
The next moment, a massive plaza appeared before everyone's eyes. Looking out, one could see countless stone pillars standing on the plaza, with a cluster of Exotic Fire burning atop each one.
Those Exotic Fire took on various forms; some bloomed like lotus flowers, some soared like giant dragons, and some were as noble as phoenixes. Every cluster of Exotic Fire emitted a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate.
"Too... too astonishing!"
Lei Ying could not help but exclaim aloud, his eyes filled with shock.
The others also widened their eyes, staring fixedly at those Exotic Fire. Even someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Gu Yuan could not help but be shaken by the scene before him at this moment.
"There seems to be something else ahead."
Just as the crowd was in shock, Gu Fei suddenly spoke... (End of chapter)
