#692 - Phoenix Nirvana
Just as Gu Yongyuan was leading Gu Changsheng and Yue Chan away, a fierce battle erupted between the armored man and the old woman in the distant Shangning Prefecture.
The armored man ultimately gained the upper hand and recognized the Heavenly Sect's techniques.
Seeing no hope of victory, the old woman, unwilling to reveal her true identity, could only retreat swiftly with hatred and resentment.
With the armored man's help, Su Chen returned to the Heavenly Martial Academy seven days later.
During this time, Long Xi absorbed the power of the Dragon Essence Fruit, successfully breaking through to the ninth level of the Heavenly God Realm, with a significant boost to her bloodline and strength.
Although she had been leveling up by consuming pills all the way, her combat power was not top-notch within the same realm, but her advantage lay in her rapid leveling speed, making her a decent helper.
Su Chen found the Heavenly Martial Academy's old ancestor, handed over the Dragon Tooth to them, and asked the old ancestor to request the Nine Cauldrons Sect to help refine it into a God-grade Supreme Treasure.
The Nine Cauldrons Sect was a renowned top-tier weapon refining sect in the God Realm, with a God-King expert overseeing it, and was one of the very few sects capable of refining God-grade Supreme Treasures!
Refining the Dragon Tooth into a God-grade Supreme Treasure could greatly enhance Long Xi's combat power.
The Dean of the Dao Academy soon came to Su Chen with good news.
While traveling abroad, Dao Academy disciples inadvertently discovered a mysterious relic, suspected to be the Nirvana Ground of an ancient Divine Phoenix!
Su Chen was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this news and immediately set off with the four Qingling women and some Dao Academy disciples, led by Ye Qingyu and the Dean of the Dao Academy, towards the Nirvana Ground.
The Nirvana Ground was located in the vast and boundless wilderness, originally just an unremarkable relic with only some broken walls and ruins remaining, and nothing special about it.
Dao Academy disciples were training in the wilderness, battling with ferocious beasts, and their actions affected this relic, inadvertently activating a restriction and revealing a spatial rift.
The Dao Academy disciples entered the spatial rift and discovered that it was a mysterious ancient land, filled with a very rich Divine Phoenix aura, but that aura was too terrifying, and the Dao Academy disciples were not strong enough to continue forward, so they immediately sent the news back.
Under the leadership of Ye Qingyu, who was at the God-King Realm, Su Chen and his group crossed more than twenty Dao Provinces and spent two and a half days to reach this relic.
This was a dilapidated relic located in a barren mountain wilderness, overgrown with shrubs, and only a few broken walls and ruins could be vaguely seen, truly a godforsaken place.
In the middle of the relic, the ground was cracked and collapsed downwards, forming a spatial rift.
Su Chen and his group stepped into the spatial rift, and in an instant, the scene before them changed dramatically.
This was an ancient land that had been sealed for many years, with flames soaring into the sky in front, illuminating the entire ancient land in a crimson red, and a scorching aura rushed towards them, making their whole bodies tingle.
Even Qingling and the others, who had already broken through to the Heavenly God Realm, felt an invisible sense of oppression, and their bodies tensed up.
"What a powerful and rich aura!"
"This Nirvana Ground must have been left behind by a God-King Realm Divine Phoenix!"
Qiaoyun's eyes lit up, and she felt her blood boiling, with a strong sense of calling coming from somewhere!
Su Chen and his group began to move forward and soon encountered an obstacle.
One ancient symbol after another was densely distributed, imprinted in the void, forming an ancient and powerful formation, connected to the underground spiritual veins, and had been activated from ancient times until now.
This was a God-level formation, extremely powerful and terrifying.
Ye Qingyu let out a soft shout, and her God-King Realm power erupted without reservation, unleashing a shocking sword strike, unparalleled in sharpness, shaking the entire ancient land and causing it to rumble and tremble.
However, this sword strike only shattered a portion of the symbols and failed to break the formation.
Moreover, flames were burning out of thin air in the void, and the extinguished symbols were slowly reappearing.
This great formation could repair itself, and if the formation could not be completely broken in a short period of time, it would heal, which was quite extraordinary.
Just as Ye Qingyu was comprehending and deciphering this formation, an unexpected change occurred!
A terrifying aura emerged from behind the group, and a cloud ship entered the ancient land from the spatial rift, heading straight for this place with a chilling intent.
"How dare you plot against my Fiery Sun Sect's ancestral land, you have some nerve!"
"You must be punished!"
A cold snort rang out.
Immediately afterward, someone on the cloud ship drew a bow and shot an arrow directly.
Nine sharp arrows tore through the sky, swirling with fire, and brought a string of air explosions, directly locking onto Su Chen and his group.
"Young people, don't be too presumptuous."
The Dean of the Dao Academy, Lan Lan, waved her hand, and without any divine power fluctuations emanating from her body, the nine arrows seemed to have been brushed by an invisible hand, and they instantly changed direction, shooting towards the cloud ship.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!!
Accompanied by a series of dense explosions echoing, the cloud ship shook for a while, and the protective formation flickered uncertainly, stopping its advance.
Ye Qingyu took two steps back and looked at the cloud ship, raising her eyebrows slightly.
She sensed that there was also a very profound and terrifying God-King aura in the cloud ship, which was only stronger than her!
"Tsk, you do have some tricks."
"But this is the ancestral land of my Fiery Sun Sect. If you know what's good for you, get out of here, otherwise… don't blame my Fiery Sun Sect for bullying you!"
A golden-haired youth appeared on the cloud ship, holding a large bow, with an arrogant expression, looking down at Su Chen and his group.
The Fiery Sun Sect was also a very powerful overlord-level sect force, but they were located in the central region of the God Realm, very far away from the Heavenly Martial Academy, and the two sects had almost no intersection.
"Just because you say it is?"
"I still say this is the back garden of my Heavenly Martial Academy!"
A Dao Academy disciple sneered and retorted unceremoniously, quite unhappy with the golden-haired youth's attitude.
The other party acted as if they were the owners of this place and directly attacked upon meeting, which was too arrogant!
This place was clearly an unclaimed land in the wilderness, and they were the first to discover it, so how could it be the ancestral land of the Fiery Sun Sect!
With the power and antiquity of the Fiery Sun Sect, it was impossible for them to only discover their ancestral land now. This was clearly an excuse they were using to seize this place!
