First Meeting with Gu Xun'er
With the Ancient Sky Demon Python as their mount, the four of them found their journey much easier.
With unimpeded travel, Mo Tang and his group arrived at the location of the Ancient Domain Stage in less than three days.
The Ancient Domain Stage is said to be an Ancient Battlefield from the distant past of the Dou Qi Continent, where many extremely powerful individuals perished. This is why a strange and oppressive aura emanates from this place...
It is precisely this oppressive aura that makes this place the only place in the Desolate Ancient Region where ferocious beasts dare not set foot.
In addition, this Ancient Domain Stage is located at the junction of the central and western parts of the Desolate Ancient Region.
From here, one can directly enter the depths of the ancient domain, which is why many forces have unanimously chosen this place as the safest foothold in the Desolate Ancient Region.
When Mo Tang and the others were within ten miles of the Ancient Domain Stage, they put away the Heavenly Demon Python. After all, the thing was too big and too eye-catching. In order to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble, Mo Tang decided to keep a low profile for the time being.
Ten minutes later, a huge plaza appeared in front of Mo Tang and his companions.
The Ancient Domain Stage is located in the center of this plaza. It is a stone platform about a hundred feet in size, and there are already quite a few people standing on it. Judging from their aura, none of them are weak...
The arrival of the four naturally attracted the attention of many people.
After all, anyone who made it this far was worthy of their attention. Moreover, these people were all considered their competitors, so each additional person meant one more person to share the treasure. How could the people on stage not be interested?
"Is that the Pavilion Master of the Four Directions Pavilion? That should be the Flower Sect Leader..."
Given Mo Tang and Yun Yun's identities, there were quite a few people present who could recognize them.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, these two are merely newly rising powerhouses. Although their strength is rumored to be terrifying, they are nowhere near comparable to the older generation...
In fact, apart from top-tier powers like the Eight Ancient Clans, many people's understanding of Mo Tang is still limited to when he was only Eight-Star Dou Zun, at most comparable to powers like the Flower Sect and the Heaven Nether Sect.
Moreover, although the two sects came from the same route, there were only four of them. It is estimated that they suffered huge losses along the way, so many people were probably laughing at them when they saw that there were only four of them.
Mo Tang and his three companions naturally didn't care about this at all.
After a quick glance, Mo Tang did indeed see quite a few familiar faces.
"Look, the people from the Heaven Nether Sect are here too. The one leading them has already reached the peak of the Nine-star Peak Dou Zun, and he's practically stepped into the First Stage of the Dou Zun realm. That should be their Vice Sect Master, Liu Cang..."
Yun Yun looked at the group of people from the Heaven Nether Sect and whispered to Mo Tang.
Mo Tang simply nodded slightly in response...
Although they didn't encounter any members of the Heaven Nether Sect on the way, allowing them to escape this ordeal, the journey ahead wouldn't be so easy to evade their pursuit, so they had plenty of time to deal with them.
Mo Tang wasn't paying attention to them at this moment; instead, he was focused on Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Blazing Flame Valley, who was dressed in a fiery red robe...
When Mo Tang looked over, Tang Zhen naturally saw Mo Tang as well, but the two only nodded to each other and did not exchange many words.
After all, the two sides only had one encounter at the Ancient Ruins, so they couldn't be considered to have any real relationship.
However, an elderly man with white hair and beard on the opposing team caught Mo Tang's attention...
"That must be the Dou Sheng ancestor from Blazing Flame Valley, right? His strength Early Two-star Dou Sheng puts him among the top talents in the entire Central Plains..."
Besides these, the rest were some reclusive, nameless Dou Sheng and people from the Eight Ancient Clans.
Although only the Yan Clan and the Gu Clan were present, Mo Tang believed that there were definitely more than just two ancient races present this time...
At the very least, the people of the Soul Hall will definitely not let this opportunity slip by!
Just as Mo Tang was about to see who the people from the Gu Clan were, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a figure...
What Mo Tang saw was a girl in a long blue dress, sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, resting.
"This peculiar aura must be Heavenly Flames..."
The Gu Clan possessed only one inherited Heavenly Flames, which was the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flames ranking list...
Although the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is not as mysterious as the second-ranked Nihility Devouring Flame and the third-ranked Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, it still possessed a formidable reputation in ancient times.
Moreover, this is the flame passed down through the Gu Clan, and even within the Gu Clan, few can subdue it.
Legend has it that when the first master of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame unleashed this fire, he directly burned the space created by a Dou Sheng Expert into nothingness.
A glint of light flashed in Mo Tang's eyes as he thought to himself, "The girl who possesses the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame must be Gu Xun'er, the first female lead in the original story, right?"
At this time, Gu Xun'er had already reached the cultivation level of Intermediate Half-Saint. With the addition of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, even without opening her Clan Mark, she could probably compete with a High-level Half-Saint.
As expected of Divine Bloodline possessor among the Gu Clan!
Unfortunately... Mo Tang and the Gu Clan are now enemies, so the two will inevitably end up on opposite sides in the future.
Moreover, this girl had devoted her whole heart to the dead Xiao Yan, and that alone made Mo Tang lose all interest in her.
Shaking his head, Mo Tang walked to a square formation of about a dozen people...
"Hahaha, Brother Mo, you're late!" Yao Ming laughed as he approached Mo Tang and warmly shook his hand.
Mo Tang's lips twitched, and he subtly withdrew his hand, laughing, "Brother Yao Ming, you've arrived early..."
Mo Tang glanced around and saw that the Nine Netherworld Nether Python Clan had quite a few people with them this time. In addition to Yao Ming Two-star Dou Sheng, there were two Half-Saint and more than ten Dou Zun.
Seeing that Mo Tang had only brought three people, and three of them were women, and three of them were such beautiful women, and thinking of Queen Medusa was still at the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Spring, Yao Ming couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"Brother, you're so lucky!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, looking smug and as if to say, "That's only natural."
The two men's behavior made the three women blush...
After the banter, the two sides got down to business.
"Going further in from here would mean entering the depths of the Desolate Ancient Region, which is where the Bodhi Ancient Tree is located..." Yao Ming pointed to the Ancient Domain Stage with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "However, reaching the Bodhi Ancient Tree is not easy."
We've seen it for ourselves. A terrifying army of ferocious beasts guards the area a hundred miles away. They surround the depths, and to get in, you must brave that sea of beasts!
