Chapter 202 A Gathering of Prodigies, a Sacrifice to the Prodigy!
Gu Jiancheng picked up the dragon bone. It did indeed contain the first level of the Ascending Dragon Transformation, but it was still incomplete. Even when combined with the part Gu Jiancheng had obtained earlier, there were still missing parts.
"Still searching!?"
Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking to himself that it was really difficult to gather all the materials for the first level of the Rising Dragon Transformation.
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng took out the arm armor again.
This arm armor is ancient and has lost much of its spiritual power, but the material is still of extremely high quality. The magic array inside is still intact, and its quality is enough to reach the peak of the pseudo-saint level!
The item is good. Although Gu Jiancheng's main body doesn't need this arm armor much, it would be even better if it were given to his clone.
The clone's body is not as powerful as the Heaven-Burning Overlord Body, and it is not invincible. However, if it has such a set of armor to protect it, its combat power will undergo a qualitative change!
Immediately afterward, Gu Jiancheng inspected the ancient hall again to make sure nothing was missed before storing the ancient coffin in his Langhuan Space and leaving the ruins.
This time, they directly killed the top geniuses of Canghai Pavilion and Moluo Sect, and obtained a lot of treasures from their storage rings.
This method is indeed the best way to quickly accumulate resources.
At the same time, Gu Jiancheng also found a tracking jade pendant in the storage ring of the senior brother of Canghai Pavilion.
On the jade pendant, there were two points of light that were still far away from his location and were moving very fast.
This means that the Blazing Sun Sword Sect and the Heavenly Martial Hall still haven't found any valuable relics.
Therefore, Gu Jiancheng did not need to rush. He continued to activate his Insightful Eyes to search for any opportunities and treasures that had been overlooked here.
Seven days passed quickly, and Gu Jiancheng had searched almost the entire area outside the core, reaping considerable rewards.
There are many hidden ruins within this chaotic war zone, many of which are even buried deep underground. Without the protection of zombie demons on the surface, they are extremely difficult to find.
Therefore, this naturally benefited Gu Jiancheng, who then discovered ancient tombs in these ancient ruins.
Although they were all suspected tombs, Gu Jiancheng still managed to obtain three pieces of dragon bone and armor parts.
Gu Jiancheng pieced the dragon bones together and discovered that only one dragon bone remained to complete the Rising Dragon Transformation!
And of those ancient armor pieces, only the breastplate remained.
Gu Jiancheng concluded that the last piece of dragon bone must be within this chaotic war zone, and it shouldn't be far away.
He took out the tracking jade pendant he had previously obtained from the eldest disciple of Canghai Pavilion and found that the two points of light on it had merged into one place and were no longer moving rapidly. The location was already close to the core area of this chaotic battle zone.
This means that the cultivators from the Blazing Sun Sword Sect and the Heavenly Martial Hall may very well have arrived at an ancient ruin.
Gu Jiancheng chuckled and put away the jade pendant. He then transmitted his aura to his clone, and after they met at that location, he transformed into a golden ray and headed straight for the core area.
Just one day later, Gu Jiancheng arrived on a plateau.
Dark clouds obscured the sky, and crimson lightning constantly streaked across the heavens, creating a somber and oppressive atmosphere.
This was the first time Gu Jiancheng had ever felt such a terrifying aura in the Ruins of Return.
That aura lies hidden deep beneath this plateau.
Moreover, when Gu Jiancheng looked out over the plains, he discovered that beneath this plateau, there were still countless skeletons!
The entire plain was, in reality, a mountain of corpses!
No wonder the malevolent aura was so heavy!
Not far away, a huge and ancient city appeared on the plateau.
The city walls stood tall and imposing, lying prostrate in the darkness.
It seems that beyond this ancient city lies the core area of the chaotic war zone.
However, no matter how much Gu Jiancheng activated his Insightful Eyes, he was still unable to traverse the ancient city and see everything in its depths.
The atmosphere of the ancient tomb is particularly strong; there must be the last coffin entwined with nine dragons here!
Of course, besides the chance and mystery, there were also cultivators who had arrived at the gates of this ancient city.
Among them, there are many human-related auras, numbering in the dozens.
But besides these, the auras of demonic forces and the demon race also exist. Before this ancient city, the holy land, the demonic path, and the demon race have all gathered!?
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow, then raised his hand and summoned his clone in front of him.
There are just too many monstrous forces we're facing now.
One person alone probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
Gu Jiancheng then handed the ancient battle armor to his clone. Although it was still incomplete, the broken armor would still transform the clone's combat power.
Now, his clone's cultivation has approached the half-step Dao Integration Realm, and he has even comprehended the half-step Staff Realm. If he were to be equipped with armor, his combat power would be comparable to the peak of the mid-stage Dao Integration Realm!
Such combat power would be considered top-tier even among today's super sects.
"Big brother, finally a fight?"
At this moment, Cai Kun and the others also emerged from the Langhuan Space.
These past few days, Gu Jiancheng didn't let them take action. During their brief seclusion in the Langhuan Space, they used up all the resources they had acquired along the way.
Everyone's life soul level was upgraded, and their cultivation level also increased.
The most extraordinary of them all is Xiao Ziyan.
Although in everyone's eyes, Xiao Ziyan is still just a child, her figure has now reached Bai Rou'er's shoulder, and her cultivation level is so high that it has even reached the peak of the early stage of the Refining Void Realm!
If she were given more time, she might even surpass Gu Jiancheng!
Such demon bloodline is truly defying the heavens.
On the other hand, Xiao Qingchen has been slacking off all day long. Relying solely on his bloodline, he remains stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Observation Realm. He hasn't even come out of the Langhuan Space yet and is still hanging out with Yun Shuiyao.
"Father, isn't it my turn to make a move this time?!"
"I'm so strong now!"
Xiao Ziyan raised the Zichen Spear of Yunshuiyao, her fighting spirit soaring.
"This battle is fraught with peril. I do not expect you to achieve a great victory, but only that you ensure your own safety. Leave the rest to me!"
Gu Jiancheng patted Xiao Ziyan's head, and then released the Silver Horned Ant swarm. With the ant swarm and his clone protecting him, he felt more at ease.
"You guys decide what to do next; we'll just watch from the sidelines for now!"
After Gu Jiancheng finished speaking, he immediately released Yin-Yang Qi to envelop his body, concealing his aura, and then entered the void, heading towards the ancient city gate.
His cultivation has now reached the peak of the late stage of the Refinement Realm. Although his combat power is extremely strong, he is now facing many super sect prodigies under the three holy lands and the outstanding members of the demonic race.
Moreover, the real battle would only begin after entering this ancient city, so there was no need for him to waste all his strength outside the city.
A moment later, Gu Jiancheng approached the ancient city gate.
At this moment, the disciples of the eight super sects under the three holy lands were standing together.
There were three people standing at the front, one of whom was wearing crimson fire armor, carrying a flaming greatsword on his back, and had long, fiery red hair flying wildly.
The second one is a white-faced Taoist priest, holding a whisk in his hand, with cloud patterns shimmering between his brows.
The third was a Buddhist monk who was shirtless, but his face was covered with a hideous ghost mask, making him look particularly terrifying.
Without exception, all three of them had reached the Dao Integration Realm!
Not far from them was a group of burly cultivators shrouded in demonic armor.
These demonic cultivators were all covered in pitch-black demonic energy. The leader had wings that unfurled on his back, and the demonic energy was as black as ink and rose like flames, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes that were extremely terrifying.
In the other direction, the largest number of demon cultivators gathered, including tigers, leopards, snakes, and scorpions, all of whom had partially transformed into human form.
The leader appeared to be a giant black and gold bear. He stood like a giant tower, holding a battle axe. His aura as a peak early stage Dao Integration cultivator was rampant and extremely oppressive!
The three forces gathered here, and the leaders' cultivation levels all exceeded the Dao Integration Realm.
But now, these three forces, which should theoretically be irreconcilable enemies, are not showing any intention of fighting each other, which surprised Gu Jiancheng.
It's making things difficult for him if these people don't fight each other!
"Hehe, Xiang Yan, now that we're all here, let's proceed according to the plan we agreed on earlier?"
At this moment, the demonic leader suddenly spoke, then looked at the black-gold giant bear of the demon race and asked, "You have no objections, do you?"
"No comment!"
"But it's agreed that once this city gate is opened, our cooperation will immediately end. If you want to compete with me for resources, we'll see if you have the ability!" the black-gold giant bear said in a deep voice.
"Heh, you're still as confident as ever. Well then, bring out the sacrificial blood offering!"
Xiang Yan of the Blazing Sun Sword Sect sneered, and then with a wave of his hand, a cultivator covered in wounds fell from the void.
At this moment, both the demonic path and the demon race each threw out a cultivator.
Gu Jiancheng grinned maliciously, but his expression suddenly changed drastically in an instant.
These three cultivators came from the human, demonic, and monster races, and their cultivation levels were all at the Dao Integration Realm!
Moreover, the bloodline of the demon among them was so high that it was no less than that of Xiao Ziyan!
Is this sacrificial blood offering meant to be offered to the ancient city in order to open its gates?
