False News?
After hearing Chen Changqing's words, Chen Ye smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother Changqing, you really like to joke."
Saying it will broaden your horizons is too polite.
"Since you two also want to go and see it, let's go together!"
Having said that, Chen Ye didn't hesitate and took the lead in leaping away.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing gave Xuanyuan Xiaoyu a wink.
Then, the two of them followed closely behind Chen Ye.
Before long, Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu arrived at a place led by Chen Ye.
This place has a peculiar terrain, covered with a huge circular crater, as if it were caused by a falling star.
"Brother Changqing, it is said that this is the place where the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance in the mortal world."
After landing, Chen Ye smiled and looked at Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing nodded, and looking around, he saw that a number of Cultivators had already gathered around this pitted area.
Most of these Cultivators were at the Purple Mansion or Nascent Soul stages.
Some Golden Core Stage Cultivators even observed from the sidelines, hoping to get lucky.
As Chen Changqing and his companions arrived, many eyes immediately turned to them warily.
"What a mixed bag!"
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said lightly and coldly, not paying any attention to it.
"Boom!"
Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky.
Upon hearing the sound, many Cultivators present looked up.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a figure riding a ferocious beast arriving at the scene.
The ferocious beast had a head shaped like a small mountain, two wings on its back, and prominent horns.
The person riding on this ferocious beast had a cold aura, wore clothes made of animal skin, and had an arrogant expression.
His cultivation aura was incredibly powerful; he was already one foot in the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
"They're... the Beast Taming Sect!"
"I didn't expect that even the Beast Taming Sect would be alarmed?"
"What a terrifying aura!"
"It's almost like undergoing Tribulation Transcendence!"
"The Beast Taming Sect, one of the Ten Great Demon Sects?"
"..."
The many Cultivators present began to whisper among themselves.
It was immediately obvious that the newcomer was a powerful figure from the Beast Taming Sect.
"Um?"
"The Beast Taming Sect?"
Seeing this, Chen Changqing muttered something under his breath and looked at the Beast Taming Sect member with a cold gaze.
This was something he was quite familiar with from the Beast Taming Sect.
Earlier, accompanied by Hua Xing, she went to the Demon Domain Immortal Mountain Secret Realm that descended into the Demon Realm to retrieve the medicinal materials needed for Hua Xing to refine the Longevity Immortal Pill.
Within the Secret Realm, they were besieged by members of the Beast Taming Sect.
Chen Changqing made his move and killed Bai Yushan, a core disciple of the Beast Taming Sect.
After leaving the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, Bai Yushan's mother, Bai Suxin, a powerful expert at the Title True Lord level, even joined others in ambush and killing Chen Changqing.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the White-Clad Spear King Bai Wuya appeared, which deterred the crowd.
"What a small world!"
"I didn't expect to run into people from the Beast Taming Sect here."
Chen Changqing muttered to himself, he didn't have a good impression of the people from the Beast Taming Sect.
"Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence?"
"With my current strength, killing him shouldn't be a problem!"
Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, another strange movement came from the sky.
Following the sound, they saw several streaks of light flash by.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people descended.
The leader was an old man dressed in a black robe, with an ancient longsword strapped to his back.
The old man possessed a formidable aura, indicating he had Late Spirit Transformation cultivation.
Behind him stood a dozen or so people, both men and women, most of whom were at the Golden Core or Purple Mansion level.
"They're from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect!"
Are they here to join in the fun too?
"..."
Some of the Cultivator were whispering among themselves.
Chen Changqing glanced indifferently at the people from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, showing no interest in them.
The Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, if placed on the Nine Provinces Continent, would only be a second or third-rate power.
It is certainly incomparable to the Ten Great Sacred Lands of the righteous path and the Ten Great Demon Sects of the demonic path.
Xuanyuan Xiaoyu saw this, remained calm, and said indifferently:
"Changqing."
"It seems to have become more lively."
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and didn't reply.
"Boom!"
Just then, a beam of Buddha's light suddenly shone down from the western sky.
Then, a powerful aura suddenly descended.
Upon sensing it, many Cultivators present turned to look.
Upon closer inspection, a monk dressed in a bright red robe embroidered with gold thread descended upon them.
This monk had a handsome face and looked very young, yet he also gave off a dignified and solemn feeling.
In his hands he held a golden bowl, and beneath his feet he stood a phantom lotus platform.
Upon witnessing this scene, many Cultivators present were shocked and exclaimed in surprise:
"This?"
"It's... it's Arhat from the Great Thunder Sound Temple!"
"That's a powerful aura!"
"At least at the Late Spirit Transformation stage!"
"The Beast Taming Sect of the Demon Sect Cult has arrived, and so has the Great Thunder Sound Temple of the Ten Great Orthodox Sacred Lands."
"Could it be that the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance is really about to manifest in this world?"
"..."
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Chen Changqing glanced at the monk who had approached in a kasaya.
"People from the Great Thunder Sound Temple?"
Although the Great Thunder Sound Temple, like Mount Shu, is one of the Ten Great Orthodox Sacred Lands.
But Chen Changqing didn't have a good impression of him.
In particular, Xiaoqian's previous experience made Chen Changqing see through those hypocritical monks.
They talk about being compassionate, but secretly do heinous things.
For the sake of so-called merit, they slaughtered all the innocent people in a small town.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing withdrew his gaze and did not look at the monks of the Great Thunder Sound Temple any longer.
Just then, a streak of light swept across the eastern sky.
Upon closer inspection, a middle-aged Cultivator with an air of otherworldly grace, dressed in a Daoist robe, descended.
The aura emanating from this Daoist priest was balanced and peaceful, in harmony with heaven and earth.
It's obvious at a glance that it comes from the Dao Sect.
"Oh?"
"The Dao Sect has arrived too?"
Chen Changqing was secretly surprised. He was no stranger to the Dao Sect. He had even gone to the Dao Sect's Universe Secret Realm for training before.
"It seems it's all for that so-called Heavenly Monarch Inheritance!"
After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Changqing turned his gaze to Chen Ye beside him and asked with a smile:
"Brother Chen, why haven't you sent anyone from your True Martial Immortal Sect?"
On the way here, Chen Changqing was still thinking about it.
Such fortuitous opportunity as Heavenly Monarch Inheritance will surely attract countless Cultivators vying for it.
After all, Chen Changqing had experienced something similar before.
The previous Heavenly Question Chess Game was related to the passing down of the Old Man Heavenly Question's legacy, and that was the case.
The sight of the massive crowds remains vivid in Chen Changqing's memory to this day.
However, although many Cultivators have gathered around this pitted area, it is not as lively as one might expect.
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu also looked at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye smiled somewhat awkwardly before explaining:
"Brother Changqing."
"Rumors of the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance in this world surface every so often."
"But the vast majority are either misinformation or exaggerated claims about the emergence of ancient cultivation relics. Those that can truly be confirmed as the Heavenly Monarch Inheritance are less than one in a hundred."
"That's right. The sect's higher-ups are already used to this. Unless there's solid evidence, they generally won't easily dispatch important forces."
"We disciples came here more as a training exercise, to try our luck."
