Chapter 1647: Long Aotian? Long Aotian?

Lowering his head to observe for a moment, Xu Que returned the Cloud Pattern Stone to Qing Ziwen.

Although that Cloud Pattern Stone and the Cloud Pattern Stone in Xu Que's hand were extremely similar, Xu Que keenly felt the difference.

The content of Immortal Yuan and demonic Qi existing in the Cloud Pattern Stone was very low, almost to the point of not being noticed.

Combined with the situation in front of him, he vaguely guessed the method of entering the Primordial Secret Realm.

As a key, the Cloud Pattern Stone was actually just a carrier; the real thing that opened the door should be the Immortal Yuan and demonic Qi hidden within it.

This point is actually very obvious; one can tell from the fact that their group could enter together, while others could only enter one by one.

It was nothing more than because the Cloud Pattern Stone in his hand contained more sufficient Immortal Yuan and demonic Qi, plus the Ghost Valley place should be considered the main entrance, so that was achieved.

But with Xu Que's ability, he could only think this far.

As for who made these cloud-patterned stones and what the purpose of distributing them so widely was, he knew nothing at all.

After all, he was not an immortal.

But the only thing he could be certain of was that the ancient secret realm before him was definitely not a treasure vault for anyone to take at will.

Hidden within it were enormous crises!

Ever since stepping into the ancient secret realm, that sense of crisis from before had become heavier and heavier; at this moment, it was like a shadow pressing on his heart, making him feel somewhat unable to breathe.

"Which faction does this place belong to? Could a fellow Daoist explain it?" Xu Que asked.

After listening to Qing Suyi's account, Qing Ziwen had already come to view Xu Que as a high-ranking monk who had attained the Dao; at this moment, he volunteered to explain it to Xu Que.

"Daoist Tang, there are a total of eight factions present. Among them, the Four Great Heavenly Gates occupy four sides, while the other four factions are our Green Bamboo Sect, the Desire Demon Sect, the Blazing Sun Valley, and Mu Xu Mountain." Qing Ziwen's finger pointed one by one at the heads not far away.

Apart from the Four Great Heavenly Gates, the other four factions were the largest sects under the Heavenly Gate, and they had the most cultivators who entered.

And outside of the cultivators from these factions, there were quite a few lucky scattered cultivators who had obtained cloud-patterned stones and entered this place.

While Qing Ziwen was explaining, Xu Que's gaze remained fixed on the forces of the Four Great Heavenly Gates, wanting to find that figure he was looking forward to.

Qing Ziwen noticed Xu Que's gaze and asked curiously, "Master Tang, do you have any familiar friends within the Heavenly Gate?"

Xu Que withdrew his gaze, suppressed the desire in his heart, put his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, this poor monk has heard that the Four Great Heavenly Gates have produced a Fairy Yu Rou with unparalleled talent, so I wanted to see if this fairy had come."

Qing Ziwen understood and smiled, "Then Master, you are going to be disappointed. It is said that Fairy Yu Rou is currently cultivating within the Heavenly Gate, so she probably doesn't have time to come."

After a pause, he sighed, "If you ask me, these four Immortal Emperors truly treat Fairy Yu Rou like their own daughter. Not only is there a constant stream of all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but they have also taught her all their unique skills without reservation. I'm afraid that in less than a hundred years, we will have to call her Immortal Emperor Yu Rou."

Qing Suyi chimed in, "I'm afraid even a biological daughter wouldn't be treated this well. It's not as if the Immortal Emperors don't have descendants, but have you ever seen any descendant treated like this by the Immortal Emperors?"

"That's true, but Fairy Yu Rou's talent spans the Immortal Cloud Continent, so it is only right that she has such treatment..."

Xu Que's brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed again.

No rush, no rush. Now that his own cultivation had not yet recovered, wanting to forcefully break into the Heavenly Gate was simply unrealistic.

If he were even slightly careless, he might even implicate Jiang Hongyan and the others; after all, everyone knew that his relationship with Jiang Hongyan and the others was extraordinary.

It won't be long. With his own talent, plus the system, he would definitely be able to break through to Heavenly Emperor in the shortest possible time!

By then, the Heavenly Gate would no longer be able to stop him!

Yu Rou, wait for me a little longer...

Fahui turned his head to look at Xu Que and said softly, "Senior Brother, as a Buddha Son, you should naturally remain unmoved by worldly desires."

Xu Que curled his lips and ignored him completely.

Bullshit Buddha Son!

Did he really think I wanted to be one?

Once I fool this bunch of idiots, I'll resign on the spot!

He glanced around and noticed that Murong Yunhai seemed somewhat unnatural and was slowly shrinking backward.

And the several junior brothers who came with him were the same, all looking awkward, as if they were trying to hide from someone.

Xu Que suddenly became curious.

As disciples of the Immortal Emperor, they should logically be the undisputed overlords in this place, killing gods if gods block them and killing Buddhas if Buddhas block them; they shouldn't be this embarrassed, right?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a vigorous roar.

"Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Gate, unparalleled in the world! For a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations, unify the martial arts world! Looking to the future, grow bigger and stronger!"

He saw a group of people gathered together at the very front, shouting slogans loudly.

The momentum was magnificent and the sound was vigorous, if one ignored the slogans they were shouting.

Xu Que was shocked on the spot.

Where the hell did these bumpkins come from?

Looking around, he found that the surrounding cultivators had all gathered their gazes on Murong Yunhai and the others.

"This... which sect's cultivators are they?" Xu Que asked Qing Suyi beside him.

Qing Suyi said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "They are cultivators from the Four Great Heavenly Gates..."

Xu Que was even more shocked.

The cultivators of the Four Great Heavenly Gates are all like this?

A bunch of idiots!

"Everyone, let's hurry up and find the Immortal Emperor's legacy," Xu Que decided decisively.

He couldn't wait any longer; if Xiao Rou stayed in the Heavenly Gate any longer, she would probably turn into an idiot too.

The cultivators who entered with Xu Que were quite convinced by him; hearing his proposal, they prepared to act almost without hesitation.

As for Murong Yunhai and the others, they expressed that they felt deeply ashamed of the people from the Heavenly Gate, so they also decided to leave with Xu Que.

According to the map, to obtain the Immortal Emperor's legacy, one must experience at least four checkpoints and one final checkpoint.

Only by passing these five checkpoints could one enter the place where the Immortal Emperor's legacy was located.

Compared to the legacy finally obtained, these so-called checkpoints seemed insignificant.

Just as they were about to set off, trouble came knocking.

"Yo, isn't this Murong Yunhai? How come you've become a follower now?" A cultivator dressed in white walked over, his eyes full of disdain. "Can't make it in the Heavenly Gate anymore, so you've come to these trash to show off?"

"Who is this?" Xu Que asked curiously.

The cultivator raised his hand and waved, smiling, "Long Aotian of the Heavenly Gate!"

Xu Que's eyes widened, and he looked the other party up and down: "Is your name really Long Aotian?"

"Could this be fake?" The person was furious.

Bang!

Xu Que didn't say a word and threw a punch directly, hitting the bridge of the nose.

Long Aotian, caught off guard, had nosebleeds flowing instantly.

Xu Que glanced at his fist and muttered, "So it's a fake... I really thought Long Aotian had come."
