Chapter 169: Langya Cui Clan, the Essence of the World, the Weak are Prey to the Strong

In the distance, above the endless sea.

Unexpectedly, an island appeared.

But the island was not situated on the sea; instead, it floated in the void.

Everywhere, layers of light shone, illuminating the originally dark sky.

It looked like a splendid land of fortune, yet it continuously emitted a powerful aura.

Even from hundreds of miles away, it could still be clearly felt.

And precisely because of this scene, one feels at first glance that...

Inside, perhaps something extraordinary is hidden.

However.

However, the island is small, capable of holding at most ten thousand people.

When Tuoba Yun and the others wanted to observe it closely,

but they discovered that the island was covered by some special power, making it impossible to probe inside.

"How was this place determined to be possibly left by an Emperor?" Ji Qiongxiao spoke.

She acknowledged that the island was extraordinary, but could not directly confirm it.

"It must be left by an Emperor, right?" Of course.

Ji Qiongxiao was merely puzzled, without any hint of doubt; there was nothing to be done, after all, her experience was still lacking.

"An existence that has cultivated to become an Emperor, when united with heaven and earth, when they act, the Great Dao follows, possessing extreme Dao power; and such means, even after their fall, can remain for tens or even hundreds of millions of years."

"Especially the burial ground of such an existence, where extreme Dao energy is strongest; why were we able to sense the aura of the North Sea before."

"Moreover, the Evil Land power, but once within a certain distance of that island, it becomes completely undetectable."

Meng Que Xie spoke, patiently explaining: "Precisely because it is extreme Dao power, it has been suppressed."

If anyone else raised this question, he wouldn't even bother to speak.

However, since they are followers of the Divine Son,

then it's different.

So it's stated very clearly.

"Of course, the emergence of extreme Dao power does not necessarily represent an Emperor; it could also be due to other reasons, hence the suspicion."

After all, as a true disciple of a major sect, he understands quite a lot.

Beside him, Meng Que Xie also nodded involuntarily.

Actually.

Regarding Lu Zhangsheng's three followers,

Besides Tuoba Yun, he couldn't quite understand the other two sisters.

They seemingly indeed possess some special constitution, but it's not very strong.

Of course, in Meng Que Xie's eyes, he still showed not the slightest contempt.

He felt that being chosen by the Divine Son naturally made sense.

And Lu Zhangsheng?

He neither spoke, merely gazing ahead.

At this moment, many people had gathered in this area.

Obviously, they came to this ruin because they hadn't encountered those demonic beings, hoping to obtain some fortune.

Presumably left by an Emperor, it holds great allure even for the Heavenly Pride of major powers.

Moreover, more importantly, among the fallen human powerhouses of ancient times, there existed beings surpassing Emperors.

Under such circumstances, they naturally would not miss it.

"Brother Meng, you've come."

But just then, a voice rang out.

It was a man holding a folding fan, with a handsome face and a smiling countenance, appearing harmless.

But if one sensed carefully, they would find that his body contained an extremely powerful force.

If it erupted, it would be no less than Meng Que Xie's; evidently, he too is a Heavenly Pride.

"Divine Son, let me introduce: this is Cui Xinghai, from the Langya Cui Clan, the current clan head's son, and we are on very good terms."

After Meng Que Xie nodded in response, he immediately continued: "Cui Xinghai, this is the Taiyi Saint Child of my Taiyi Sacred Land, and also the Lu Family Divine Son." Upon hearing this, Cui Xinghai turned his head, hastily bowed, and spoke politely: "Greetings, Lu Family Divine Son."

"No need for such courtesy; we are peers." Lu Zhangsheng returned the salute.

Just as before, he did not look down on anyone because of his status.

Thus, he despised no one.

Speaking of the Langya Cui Clan,

in the present world it is also extremely renowned, standing on par with the major sacred lands as a top-tier power.

Moreover, he is the clan head's son, his status and position are also extraordinary.

No wonder he gets along well with Meng Que Xie.

"The name of the Divine Son has long been known to Cui Xinghai; he had wanted to visit earlier in the city, but feared giving offense; today, with Brother Meng present, he boldly came forward." Cui Xinghai spoke, still as courteous, his words even more refreshing like a spring breeze.

Seeing this, Lu Zhangsheng also smiled and shook his head, then asked: "I don't know how much longer until this ruin opens."

If he kept praising, he'd feel a bit embarrassed, facing this person's compliments.

At a glance, it's the kind that never ends; he doesn't want to keep it up.

So he simply changed the subject.

"It should still need about a day; once the surrounding extreme Dao power dissipates completely, we can enter."

Cui Xinghai arrived early, so naturally he knew more.

And beside.

Tuoba Yun and Ji Qiongxiao, the two sisters, witnessed this scene.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, and Ji Qingxiao directly said: "Divine Son, it's surprisingly popular— not only those who come and go, but all are the current top Heavenly Pride, and even opponents are the same."

"Divine Son, unlike us, he was born standing at the pinnacle, and in the future he is destined to walk the supreme path."

"Don't look at how courteous these people are; they treat us the same, but if we didn't have this follower status..."

"In their eyes, we are nothing special, not worth much attention."

Tuoba Yun spoke, sighing, his True Disciple identity.

What they rely on is their own struggle to rise.

Plus their innate talent.

Thus it becomes clearer that this world is very cruel, with the strong being honored.

Beside them, the two sisters Ji Qiongxiao, upon hearing this, also nodded silently.

How could they not understand this principle?

Since becoming followers.

Everything around me has changed— is it due to my own strength? No, it's not.

At this moment, nobody spoke anymore; everyone stood in place waiting.

Knowing that the emperor's relic will open soon.

Just one day.

For many, it's too short, but they can still wait.

At the same time.

Outside the Seal Land.

Lin Huang City Lord Yao Dian, together with the many strong ones, used the Haotian Divine Mirror to observe the situation inside.

They saw those young people inside, all gathered in various places of fortune.

"It's strange; several days have already passed."

"We haven't seen a few major battles; Yao City Lord, has this happened before?"

A strong one spoke up, also noticing, brows deeply furrowed, because their young master is inside; if something goes wrong, they fear it won't end well.

Others were the same, all looking toward Yao Dian, wanting to ask.

Because they remembered the other side's reminder not long ago.

Saying that this hunt will have problems.
