Half a month later, Ye Chen had finally made it through the northern part of the Black Dragon Empire and arrived at the land between the three countries.
This land was vast, and the mountains were ancient and steep. In the beginning, Ye Chen did not notice anything different. But as he got deeper, he realized that there was an ancient qi being emitted from this land. It seemed to be able to reverse the yin and yang, messing up the fate of the world.
"The Hidden Dragon Ancient Place has existed since the ancient times. It is said that it has suppressed seventy-two dragon veins, and among them, the earth qi dragon vein under the Hidden Dragon Ancient City is the most powerful one. It controls the flow of the earth qi in the whole South Rudra Region. Now that I see it, it is indeed extraordinary. It is no weaker than all the ancient inheritance places in the whole South Rudra Region. In some aspects, it might even be more powerful. But why do those inheritance places no longer exist in the world? Why does the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place still exist?" Ye Chen was shocked by this vast land. His soul power spread out, and he felt like he could hear the roars of dragons. It was as if his soul was about to be shattered.
Entering the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place, there were more and more warriors passing by. A lot of them were flying while discussing in a low voice, sounding very respectful.
"The Hidden Dragon Ancient Place is not something that any country in the whole South Rudra Region can take over. In the history, there was a super country that wanted to build a capital in the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place, gathering all of the luck in the whole South Rudra Region. But in only seventy-two days, the capital was destroyed, and all of the royal family members had died. Since then, no one has tried to take over the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place. Even the Life and Death Realm warriors are afraid of this place."
"The Hidden Dragon Ancient Place is a place of luck, but it is also a place of death. According to the ancient records, a lot of Life and Death Realm warriors have been killed there, including an unbeatable king warrior who had been titled emperor level. It had even killed a lot of foreign race king warriors who wanted to get their hands on the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place. Twenty years ago, it was not like the leader of the Nine Ghost Cult did not have any ideas about the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place. But, as you all know, the whole Nine Ghost Cult was completely destroyed. Even the leader of the Nine Ghost Cult was being chased by Xuanhou and the Dragon King.
Twenty years ago, Xuanhou was still very young, and did not have much power. Although the Dragon King was an experienced king warrior, he would not have much chance of winning in a one-on-one battle. Normally, even if the two of them combined forces, they would not be able to kill the leader of the Nine Ghost Cult, since the battles between Life and Death Realm warriors were not normal, and there would not be any deaths. Even if the leader of the Nine Ghost Cult could not win against the two of them, he should still be able to leave safely. I guess he might have been badly wounded in the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place, and his power had dropped. "
"These things are hard to explain, and no one knows the details. What is the point of us making wild guesses? No matter how mysterious the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place is, it has nothing to do with us. Only the young generation will be able to get the luck from there. We just need to watch."
"You are right. On the Rising Dragon Platform, the luck will be on you. I wonder who else would be able to get the luck from the Earth Qi Dragon Fountain in the whole South Rudra Region?"
"Those old guys should be here already. Let's hurry."
They were all Astral Reaching Realm warriors, so they were extremely fast. Within a couple of blinks of an eye, they had already left the other warriors far behind.
Hearing them, Ye Chen gasped. The Hidden Dragon Ancient Place had killed a lot of Life and Death Realm warriors, including an unbeatable king warrior who had been titled emperor level! It had killed all the royal members of a super nation! No one knew if the leader of the Nine Ghost Cult was still alive, and the Nine Ghost Cult had been destroyed!
No matter which one it was, they were all so shocking. This vast land with an ancient qi was no longer normal in Ye Chen's eyes. It was a place where light and darkness interweaved. It was both a place of luck and a place of death.
"The seventy-two dragon fountain matches the top seventy-two of the Hidden Dragon Rank, fighting for the luck. It seems like the competitions for the Hidden Dragon Rank are not just for show. There must be something else that I should not underestimate." A thought flashed through his mind as Ye Chen increased his speed, flying towards the Hidden Dragon Ancient City.
The Hidden Dragon Ancient Place was way bigger than any of the three great nations. There were a lot of mountains that were connected together, with no beginning or end.
However, in the center of the Hidden Dragon Ancient Place, there was a special place. It seemed to be the beginning and the end of the mountains. The long mountains from all directions were like dragons that surrounded this place, sinking into the ground and gathering in the center. In this huge area, an extremely majestic ancient city was sitting on top of it, suppressing the thousands of mountains. It looked extremely ordinary, but it seemed to be extremely noble.
This ancient city was indeed the place where the competitions of the Hidden Dragon Rank would be held – the Hidden Dragon Ancient City.
The history of the Hidden Dragon Ancient City could not be studied anymore. All one knew was that it had existed for a very long time, since the ancient era. It had been standing for countless years. In this place, even the Life and Death Realm warriors would have to be respectful, not daring to do anything that would affect the luck.
On the vast plain outside the south gate of the Hidden Dragon Ancient City, millions of warriors had gathered. It was a sea of people, covering the whole mountain.
The martial institutions that had arrived early had already built some simple buildings on the plain for their disciples to live in. As for the lone warriors, they did not care so much, they just sat on the ground with their legs crossed and started to cook food over the bonfires. They would call their friends from time to time, making all kinds of noises.
The people from the Sky Cloud Martial School had arrived not too early, but not too late either. A couple of inner masters had built seven to eight wooden houses on a small hill ten miles away from the south gate.
Outside the wooden houses.
Lou Hanshan looked into the distance, he could not help but yell, "So many people, and all of them are Clasping Yuan Realm warriors."
"Millions of Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, it is indeed unimaginable. Even the clouds in the sky have been pushed away." Zhu Mei stood on the side, looking up at the sky. Millions of zhen Qi vibrations had combined together. Although they were all contained and did not release it on purpose, those vibrations were still extremely horrifying. If a Life and Death Realm warrior did not use any special skills, facing so many Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, he would still be killed. But of course, Life and Death Realm warriors were not stupid, they could leave whenever they wanted, and no one would be able to stop them.
Xu Jing's expression was as cold as always, she did not say anything.
Luo Xinglie walked out of the wooden house and said, "The Hidden Dragon Rank competition is related to the fortune of our Sky Cloud Martial School. Entering the city is a fortune, don't disappoint me."
"Yes, leader."
The three nodded seriously.
In the next couple of days, a large number of martial institutions had been arriving every day. Because of the overwhelming number of people, the area around the south gate was almost packed. These martial institutions had no choice but to get rid of some lone warriors and occupy a large area to build houses for their disciples to live in.
"Look, it is Wei Renjie, who was ranked thirty-seventh in the last Hidden Dragon Rank. His blade art is very powerful, I heard that his blade intent has already reached the entry level."
"Qi Shaofeng, who was ranked thirty-eighth in the Hidden Dragon Rank, is also here."
"There is also Leng Wuqing, the Childe Demon, who was ranked forty-fifth. He had beaten a couple of Clasping Yuan Realm warriors when he was only at the peak-level Late Condensing Reality Realm. Now that he has reached the Early Clasping Yuan Realm, I wonder how powerful he has become. I think even the young warriors at the Mid Clasping Yuan Realm would not dare to say that they could win against him."
Hearing the people's discussions, Luo Hanshan and Zhu Mei suddenly became nervous. Before they came here, they thought that with their current cultivation, they could at least compete with them, even if they could not get into the top seventy-two. But now, they realized that these people had made even more progress than they had. That Wei Renjie was the most powerful one among all the young warriors they had ever met. His blade intent had actually reached the entry level. Not to mention fighting against him face to face, it would already be amazing if they could not break down when facing his blade intent.
Qi Shaofeng and Leng Wuqing were both powerful warriors. One was extremely talented, while the other was a regular warrior who had challenged people with higher cultivation than him.
Glancing at Xu Jing, who didn't show any reaction, Luo Hanshan sighed in his head and thought, 'There is always someone better than you out there. Ye Chen, I wonder what level you have reached now.'
Shaking his head, Luo Hanshan gave a bitter smile. Ye Chen's talent and comprehensive ability were undeniable, but he had started a bit too late after all. Otherwise, he might have been able to reach the top of the Hidden Dragon Rank, even into the top forty or even the top thirty. He was not underestimating Ye Chen, it was just that the young warriors who had made it to the last Hidden Dragon Rank had improved way too fast, way too fast. After all, they were not the only ones who had been improving.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Roars of demonic beasts could be heard from afar.
"The people from the sixth-grade Sunset School are here."
"And the Sky Meteor Sect, the Heartless Sect, and the Sky Demon Sect."
"The Fire Spirit Martial School, the Ice Extreme Martial School and the Floating Mountain Martial School are right behind them."
All the noises on the plain had disappeared completely, it was dead silent. Rank 6 martial institutions were different from those below rank 7. Normally, there would be a huge gap between rank 7 and rank 6, just like the gap between the Clasping Yuan Realm and the Astral Reaching Realm. It would be a huge gap, and only a powerful warrior could be in charge of it. Each of the seven rank 6 martial institutions had a very rich history, which had been accumulated for thousands of years. Among them, the Floating Mountain Martial School was the most powerful one, with a history even longer than the three great nations. Two king warriors had been born in the martial institution, one was the Stone King, and the other was the Cang King.
The area closest to the south gate was a huge open area, which was reserved for the seven rank 6 martial institutions. No one dared to go up and fight for it, and no one chose to get close to it either.
All kinds of powerful demonic beasts landed on the ground. The people from the seven rank 6 martial institutions all jumped down from the backs of the beasts and chose their own spots.
The elders of the martial institutions gathered together and discussed in a low voice, while the young warriors stood in the front, which was very eye-catching.
The head disciple of the Sky Fall Martial School, Lin Yun, glanced at the few of them and sneered. This year's Hidden Dragon Rank would definitely belong to him.
Li Daoxuan from the Heartless Martial School did not look around, as his sight landed on the south gate of the Hidden Dragon Ancient City.
The two head disciples of the Sky Demon Martial School, Mo Yan and Murong Qingcheng, exchanged a look. They could see the seriousness in each other's eyes. After three years, all of their old rivals' power had reached a very high level. Especially Lin Yun from the Sky Fall Martial School, they felt a huge threat.
A red halo appeared in Mo Yan's eyes as he stared at Lin Yun. He opened his mouth slowly, "The Qi on your body is five times more powerful than three years ago."
"Five times!" Murong Qingcheng did not say anything. Her head disciple had trained the Sky Demon Art, and he had mastered the Sky Demon Eyes, which allowed him to observe the power of his opponent's Qi. It would not be a lie.
The head disciple of the Fire Spirit Martial School, the Fire Spirit Prince, had also noticed the difference in Lin Yun. He sneered, 'No matter how powerful you are, you will still become my stepping stone.'
Not far away, the head disciple of the Ice Extreme Martial School was like a block of ice, without any emotion. His white robe was fluttering in the wind, releasing a creepy white qi.
Everyone had their own Qi, fighting against each other. No one was weaker than the other. If it was someone with a powerful soul power, they might even see some sparks flashing in the air. It was a sign that their Qi was fighting against each other.
However, this kind of situation was soon broken. A young man with god-like eyes was walking with his hands behind his back. Wherever he went, the yuan Qi would follow behind him. He was like a natural king, with his Qi looking down on the whole world. His Qi was even more powerful than Lin Yun's.
"Sikong Sheng!"
On the plain, someone yelled with a low voice.
