Moon Province

Tianlong.

The ultimate creature cultivated by the Heavenly Master Lineage's beast-taming system.

Each one is powerful enough to contend with a true immortal on land.

Although the methods for cultivating the Heavenly Dragon have been lost or banned by top powers, countless ancient books still record the glorious history of this legendary creature.

The arrival of the Heavenly Dragon is a sensational event for any region.

Even though the Divine Sword Tournament was approaching, the hype was overshadowed by the news that a celestial dragon had descended upon Yuezhou.

After receiving the news, Gu Jinlai spent two days arranging his various matters. At this time, Lu Zhanfeng approached him.

When she saw him seemingly packing his things, she quickly realized something. "Has the Supreme Elder heard about the arrival of the Heavenly Dragon in Yuezhou?"

"Yes, I plan to go."

This Gu Jinlai.

"As the Heavenly Emperor and the Supreme Elder, you certainly cannot miss such a grand event."

Lu Zhanfeng immediately added, "After learning about this, a group of Celestial Masters and Grand Celestial Masters in the sect have made preparations to accompany you, Supreme Elder. They carry a lot of information about the Holy Domain, the Aries Star Lord, and the Heavenly Dragon Wood, which should be of some help to you."

"Oh, isn't Empress Dowager Liu coming along?"

"This... the Heavenly Dragon has finally descended upon Yuezhou..."

Lu Zhanfeng said somewhat awkwardly, "Although the Sanqing Preaching Platform is located south of Yuezhou and is thousands of miles away from the Sanqing Hall, it is still the territory of the Sanqing Hall, the leader of the righteous path. As the examiner of the Tianlong Wood, you, the Ancient Supreme, naturally do not need to worry about your own safety. Even the mighty Sanqing Hall would not dare to cause trouble when the Tianlong Wood is conducting its assessment. However, those non-Celestial Masters like Liu Taishang who are going deep into Yuezhou... may not receive the protection of the Tianlong Wood."

Those who listened, Gu Jinlai, nodded in understanding.

The Sanqing Temple has always been domineering. When the Heavenly Dragon Wood descended upon Yuezhou, it was already the limit that it could turn a blind eye to the Celestial Masters of the Ten Demonic Sects penetrating its territory. If the Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord and Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators of the Ten Demonic Sects still dared to swagger around in their territory...

The Sanqing Temple would never mind sending Celestial Person beings to weaken the power of some of the ten demonic sects.

Not long after Gu Jinlai agreed to lead the Purgatory Sect in action, Star King Jiang Chongshan walked in carrying several booklets.

"Ancient Heavenly Lord".

"Your Highness, Star King..."

Gu Jinlai, as if he had thought of something, he smiled at Jiang Chongshan and said, "I haven't yet congratulated His Highness Star King on condensing his Yin Spirit and stepping into the realm of Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivator."

"It is also thanks to the ancient Heavenly Lord for giving me the opportunity that I have been Spirit Refining for more than 20 years. Ten years ago, I had already accumulated to the peak of Spirit Refining. However, I have been staying in the Star King's Mansion in Starlight City and have not been able to go out. I have never encountered the opportunity to condense the Yin Spirit. But when I came to Lingxiao City, I followed the Demon God Guards of Lingxiao City to roam the mountains and forests, hunted Demonic Beasts, and released my soul in blood and slaughter. Finally, my soul was sublimated and condensed into the Yin Spirit."

Jiang Chongshan said with a smile.

Gu Jinlai, people have looked upon this Star King.

During this period, just as he said, he devoted all his time and energy to hunting Demonic Beasts, completely considering himself a demon hunter.

Not long ago, the Demon God's personal guards launched an operation to hunt down Demonic Beasts deep in the Yunqi Mountains, and he was at the forefront of the attack.

Over the years...

This star king's temperament has changed quite a bit, and he now has a more "heroic" air about him.

"Having become Yin Spirit, His Highness the Star King will surely see a significant increase in strength once he refines another flying sword. Congratulations!"

He said with a smile, "Gu Jinlai."

"Well, I've been nurturing my flying sword these past few days, but after hearing about the Heavenly Dragon's Descent, I know that the Ancient Heavenly Lord would definitely not miss such a grand event, so I specially brought over some potentially useful documents from my possession."

Jiang Chongshan said, "These materials record the detailed process of the six times that members of the royal family participated in the Heavenly Dragon Descent Trial. I hope they can be of some help to the Ancient Heavenly Lord."

He paused slightly as he spoke, "Although the Heavenly Dragon Wood test is not particularly dangerous, each time, one or two out of ten Celestial Masters are left in the palace forever. The Ancient Celestial Lord is responsible for the situation in Star Province. The future situation south of the Milky Way will even require the Ancient Celestial Lord to save it. Therefore, if the test is truly dangerous, the Ancient Celestial Lord, please make a decisive decision to ensure your own safety first."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness Star King."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "I wouldn't joke about my own life."

Jiang Chongshan didn't say anything more.

He knew that the Heavenly Dragon Wood carried the palace of the former Aries Star Lord, and that Gu Jinlai, as the Heavenly Lord, would certainly not miss such fortuitous opportunity.

Or rather, any celestial master who has the opportunity will try it out, hoping to obtain some extraordinary treasure and perhaps even soar to great heights.

Therefore, he knew that he could not stop the Gu Jinlai.

In this situation, the only thing he could do was to provide him with as much information as possible so that his assessment would not endanger his life.

After arranging all the details, Gu Jinlai and his group set off.

His only guards consisted of two teams of demon god personal guards, led by Gu Chifeng and Gu Qingmei.

And the Celestial Master...

Besides him, Zhang Yukun, Si Tianyan, Guan Xingyun, Zong Heng, Qiu Shuiyue, Zhou Mingshi, and others were also present.

Just as Star King had guessed, no Celestial Master would pass up such fortuitous opportunity as the arrival of the Heavenly Dragon.

Zhang Lihuo, the sect leader of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect, was so focused on rebuilding the core of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect that he didn't even want to participate in this grand event.

Finally, a team of around 100 people set off northward.

When they were in Starlight City, Xin Tianqi insisted that Cheng Wanli, a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator, lead his elite troops to accompany him and protect the surrounding area.

As the head of the main department of the Meteorite Satellite of Star Province, Cheng Wanli is not Spirit Transformation of the Ten Great Demon Sects. Even if he enters Yuezhou, he does not need to worry about being hostile to the Sanqing Holy Temple.

When they reached the border of Star Province, a group of more than twenty people from the Purgatory Sect were already waiting there and joined their main group.

Of the more than twenty people in this group, nine were Celestial Masters, including one Grand Celestial Master.

The rest were guards to ensure their safety.

The team grew larger and continued its journey at an extremely fast pace.

Since all the Demonic Beasts in the Milky Way had retreated to the Crocodile Dragon Swamp, in order to avoid conflict with these Demonic Beasts, the group had to take a detour.

Even so, as they approached the Milky Way, they were still targeted by a few Demonic Beasts.

Fortunately, their team was incredibly powerful. Before the Demonic Beasts could even disturb the accompanying Celestial Masters, they were all killed by the Demon God's personal guards. The Essence Blood from their bodies even increased their cultivation, and one of them even developed the physique of High-ranking Demonic Beast.

However, Crocodile Dragon Demonic Beasts teeming with demons, and there is even a terrifying existence like the Crocodile Dragon King. Gu Jinlai, no one has dared to truly allow the demon god's personal guards to roam freely in the wilderness.

The group hurried across the area, and the vast Milky Way came into view.

This is a mighty river with surging waves and an average width of more than ten miles.

With the Divine Sword Tournament about to begin, the Demonic Beasts in the Milky Way were forced to retreat, and several ferry crossings in the Canglang Mountain area resumed operation. Gu Jinlai and his companions crossed the Milky Way by boat.

Gu Jinlai and his companions crossed the Milky Way near Canglang Peak, and their first stop was Qingzhou.

That is, the great continent where the Palace of Immortals is located.

The Human Immortal Palace and the Earth Immortal Palace are both sects that rose to prominence after the destruction of the Heavenly Immortal Palace.

Or rather, they were simply a force formed by absorbing some of the elites of the Heavenly Immortal Palace after its destruction.

Compared to the saint Di Luo, the power wielded by the Celestial Person Immortal Palace Master is not as great as that of the Earthly Immortal Palace Master.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Even though it only absorbed less than a third of the power of the Heavenly Immortal Palace after its collapse, the Human Immortal Palace still possesses a foundation far beyond that of ordinary sects.

Gu Jinlai group did not linger in Qingzhou.

The Heavenly Dragon's Descent will take place over a period of one to three months.

The earlier you enter the assessment stage, the greater your advantage.

After all, many assessments are extremely time-consuming, and back then, countless Celestial Masters missed out on precious rewards because of a slight difference in time.

Gu Jinlai north for thousands of miles, until they finally entered the border of Yuezhou.

If you venture another four hundred miles, the Three Pure Ones' Preaching Platform will be right in front of you.

This is a large square located on the mountainside of Wudao Mountain.

Wudao Mountain is not a large mountain range; it stretches for less than a hundred miles.

This mountain is famous throughout the world because the three founders worshipped at the Sanqing Temple once sat here and preached the Tao.

Later, the Sanqing Temple built a large square covering more than four square kilometers here, named the Sanqing Preaching Platform, which became a famous scenic spot in Yuezhou.

Gu Jinlai, whenever people have come to the Sanqing Preaching Platform, it has always been a bustling place.

At first glance, there must be a thousand people.

Of these thousand people, only two or three hundred were actually Celestial Masters; the rest were there to protect them.

Gu Jinlai the group arrived, several sword lights pierced through the void and descended.

Immediately afterwards, three Daoist priests, their robes fluttering, rode their swords through the air and stood in the void in front of their group.

"They are the three True Lords of the Sanqing Temple: Tianquan, Yuheng, and Tianshu."

Cheng Wanli, who was standing next to Gu Jinlai, immediately whispered.

"The Supreme Elder of the Purgatory Sect, from Gu Jinlai?"

Among the three, the leader, the Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord Tian Shu, stepped forward, slightly lowered his brows, and glanced at Gu Jinlai: "On this trip, you may only conduct the Heavenly Dragon Wood assessment. You must not wander around, fight with others, damage this environment, or..."

He listed more than a dozen things that were not allowed, and finally added casually, "I know that you are all influential figures in your sphere of influence, but in our Yuezhou, you must act in accordance with the rules of our Sanqing Holy Temple. I have said this much. If you violate these rules, you will bear the consequences."

After delivering the warning, he turned around and disappeared from the sight of Gu Jinlai and the others.

The Three Pure Ones Holy Land dared not provoke the Heavenly Dragon Wood, and could not say anything about its arrival in Yuezhou, but regarding other forces...

"As expected of the leader of the righteous path and the number one power in Qiantian."

Gu Jinlai said, "They casually dispatched three Primordial Spirit True Lord."

"That's not all."

Cheng Wanli said in a deep voice, "Due to the convergence of various forces, the Sanqing Holy Temple has sent True Person to oversee this place."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but lower his voice. "This... is a true Celestial Person."

"Celestial Person!"

Gu Jinlai, it seems that they have a shared feeling, and their gazes are directed in one direction.

He could clearly see that the "qi" in that area seemed to have been stripped away, and was completely different from the "qi" in the outside world.

"Truly worthy of being called the Sanqing Holy Temple."

He thought of the number of experts in the Cold Moon Sect, Dragon Sparrow Manor, Purgatory Sect, Yellow Spring Sect, Yellow Heaven Sect, and other forces, and sighed, "I finally understand why many people directly use two standards to divide the forces in the world."

Cheng Wanli knew which two standards were being Gu Jinlai.

The power of divine weapons.

A force without divine weapons.

The difference in strength between these forces seemed to be an entire major realm.
