Inside Central Continent's regional wall.
"Go, quickly go!"
"Follow us, don't fall behind."
A group of Western Desert Gu Masters shouted as they ran.
Behind them, the ground split open like a huge beast opening its mouth to devour them.
"Ahhh —!"
"Save me!!"
Amidst the screams, a small group of people fell into the Earth Trench, most of them would be crushed to death. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would most likely be dead.
"Father, I can't hold on anymore!" Zhang Ping was still a youngster, he had just advanced to rank two Gu Master, he was panicking now, the primeval essence in his aperture was almost depleted.
"Oh no." Zhang Quan was a rank three Gu Master, he was sweating profusely now, he had used all his strength, the killer move not only moved him but also his son Zhang Ping.
If Zhang Ping did not have primeval essence, Zhang Quan's killer move would be ineffective. By then, Zhang Ping's speed would fall, Zhang Quan would be helpless, he could only watch as his son fell into the abyss.
"What do I do?" Zhang Quan was helpless, he was extremely anxious.
He was filled with regret, if he knew this would happen, he would not have brought his son to the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention!
Earlier, he saw his son's refinement path talent, he wanted to bring him to broaden his horizons and temper his abilities. But to think that when they passed the regional wall, they encountered an earth vein disturbance.
Just as Zhang Quan and Zhang Ping were about to despair, their vision cleared up.
Zhang Quan was stunned, he reacted, they had passed through Central Continent's regional wall, they were in Central Continent now.
The earth vein was shaking, other than creating an Earth Trench and losing large amounts of Gu materials and Gu worms, the five regional walls were also shrinking.
Right now, Gu Masters needed less than half of the time to cross the regional walls.
"But what use is this?" Zhang Quan sighed deeply.
Zhang Ping's primeval essence and stamina were expended, Zhang Quan could only carry him. But this way, their speed fell, they were about to be devoured by the Earth Trench.
At the crucial moment, a mystical light shone, enveloping the surviving Gu Masters and bringing them to the sky.
The Earth Trench continued to expand under their feet, soon, a bottomless abyss formed below them.
Only when they landed at the edge of the Earth Trench did the mystical light on these Gu Masters fade.
"What's going on?"
"Who saved us?"
"Such an unimaginable method saved all of us, the Gu Immortal must have taken action!"
The Gu Masters were very excited after surviving the calamity, they discussed among themselves.
High up in the sky where they could not see, a Spirit Butterfly Valley Gu Immortal smiled kindly as he retracted his gaze from these Gu Masters.
The Gu Immortal quickly flew away, continuing his patrol.
The Central Continent Refinement Path Convention had already begun, large numbers of Gu Masters had arrived from the other four regions.
The Gu Immortal was a member of Central Continent's ten great ancient sects, he had received a mandatory mission from the sect to patrol this area and prevent the demonic path from causing trouble.
There were many Gu Immortals with the same mission as him. These people were mostly from the ten great ancient sects, but there were also other sects, slave Gu Immortals who were recruited by the ten great ancient sects, as well as some lone immortals who were close to the ten great ancient sects.
This time, the Celestial Court was holding the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention, the security was unprecedented.
Zhang Quan and Zhang Ping's group luckily received help from Gu Immortals and escaped with their lives.
After entering Central Continent, they rested for a while before heading to the nearest registration location.
There were many registration locations for the Central Continent Refinement Path Convention, they were evenly distributed all over Central Continent.
A few days later, Zhang Quan, Zhang Ping, and some Gu Masters with the same goal arrived at Scorpion Needle Sect.
This sect was only an ordinary force, it was most proficient in raising and using scorpion shaped Gu worms, the most famous one was scorpion needle Gu. This was an offensive Gu worm, once activated, it could shoot out scorpion needles. The scorpion needles were sharp and fast, they also carried poison, they were not to be trifled with.
Scorpion needle Sect had already made preparations.
Zhang Quan and Zhang Ping walked into the registration hall, seeing that it was filled with people.
Most of them were natives of the Central Continent, and a small number were like them, from the Western Region.
Scorpion Needle Sect's location was close to Western Desert, thus many Western Desert Gu Masters came to register.
The Central Continent Refinement Path Convention attracted countless Gu Masters to participate, it was a grand occasion every time.
According to the procedures, Zhang Quan and Zhang Ping were brought to the side hall to participate in the examination.
The examination only had four questions, it was not easy, but not difficult either. It tested the basic skills of Gu refinement. Gu Masters with a certain level of experience could often pass, those who came just to make up the numbers would be eliminated, it would save manpower and resources.
Unsurprisingly, Zhang Quan and Zhang Ping both passed the test and successfully registered for the academy.
When they walked out of the hall, they each held a token in their hands.
The token had the names of the participants, the sect, the path, and the time and place of registration.
When Gu Masters register, they could choose any name they wanted, their path and sect could also be kept secret.
Precisely because of this leniency, every Central Continent Refinement Path Convention, large numbers of lone cultivators, demons, and even Gu Immortals would come to participate incognito.
"A hundred Yuan stone for one registration, this is too expensive." Zhang Ping kept the token and grumbled.
"That's why you have to perform well this time. Don't let our efforts go to waste." Zhang Quan looked at Zhang Ping expectantly.
"Mm." Zhang Ping nodded: "Oh, right, father, I saw many Central Continent Gu Masters registering directly, they do not need to participate in the examination."
Zhang Quan smiled: "These people obtained a ranking in the previous Refinement Path Convention, they can directly participate in it."
"Then father, didn't you also obtain a ranking in the previous Refinement Path Convention? Why did you have to pay for this? "Zhang Ping asked in confusion.
Zhang Quan shook his head: "That is because I am not a Central Continent Gu Master, only Central Continent Gu Masters have this privilege."
"So that's it." Zhang Ping nodded.
This was clearly biased towards the locals, it was unfair, but the young Zhang Ping quickly accepted it.
After all, this was Central Continent's territory, the convention was also organized by a Central Continent force, shouldn't they take care of their own people?
And this slight unfairness was not overboard at all. Because in the registration test, as long as a Gu Master had refinement path attainment, they could pass it.
"The Refinement Path Convention has begun." In Celestial Court, Duke Long used his investigative killer move to observe the registration scenes in Central Continent.
At this moment, his face was still pale. His injuries from fighting for the Dragon Palace had not healed much.
"This Refinement Path Convention is the most crucial, Red Lotus, do you know, after this Refinement Path Convention, fate Gu will be completely restored." Duke Long's gaze suddenly turned perplexed, scenes of the past quietly appeared in his mind.
"Spring Autumn Cicada? You actually designed such an unfilial Immortal Gu, Hong Ting, what are you trying to do? "After learning of the secret, Duke Long immediately went to find Red Lotus Immortal Venerable Hong Ting.
Hong Ting clenched his fists, saying to Duke Long: "Master, I have already said it, I want to revive them, I want everything to start over again."
"You!" Duke Long pointed at Hong Ting, his body shivering from anger.
Hong Ting lowered his head: "Master, scold me if you want, hit me if you want, but I will not give up!"
Duke Long stared at Hong Ting angrily, but did not scold him, instead, after a long silence, he suddenly heaved a long sigh: "Hong Ting, my disciple, you are too naive. Even if you are an Immortal Venerable, what can you do to fate? Go ahead and try, I will not stop you. You will definitely fail, but I hope that if you fail enough, you will wake up. "
Many days later.
"Master …" Hong Ting had injuries all over his body, but his expression was very excited as he arrived in front of Duke Long: "I finally found my only hope, I am about to succeed, I will definitely succeed in changing fate!"
"How can this be?!" Duke Long did not believe it at all.
"I am relying on this — love Gu. This is the inspiration I got from < < The Legends of Ren Zu > >. The book says: Love is also a part of fate. Since that is the case, love can also change fate! "Hong Ting became more excited as he spoke.
Duke Long was extremely shocked and furious: "Outrageous, outrageous! Hong Ting, don't forget your identity! You are an Immortal Venerable of the righteous path, but you want to change history, do you know what kind of unimaginable consequences your unscrupulous actions will cause? "
"Oh master!" Hong Ting suddenly raised his head, his gaze shining as he looked at Duke Long: "Do you still not understand?"
"Understand what?"
"Times have changed! People's hearts have also changed. Our generation does not need restraints … "
Before Hong Ting finished, he was rudely interrupted by Duke Long: "Enough! You actually said fate Gu is a kind of restraint? Hong Ting, enough is enough, if you continue like this, you will fall into the demonic path! Master … master does not want to punish you in the name of righteousness!!! "
Taking a deep breath, Duke Long's gaze became clear again.
The memories in his mind had already been collected, but Duke Long still felt a sense of self-blame.
"Oh Red Lotus … you still don't understand." Duke Long muttered: "No matter how times change, fate Gu will always be the protective umbrella of our human race. You disregarded the big picture of humanity for your own selfish desires, it was my mistake in teaching you! "
"You are my disciple, as your master, I will make up for your mistake."
"I do not have much time left."
"But it does not matter, it is enough to repair fate Gu completely."
"I will not allow anyone to destroy this Refinement Path Convention!"
Boom —!
At the same time, a shocking explosion occurred in Scorpion Needle Sect, countless Gu Masters who were participating in the Refinement Path Convention died instantly.
Dust clouds surged, an ancient desolate beast year snake was roaring in the ruins of Scorpion Needle Sect.
Looking at the ancient year snake that was rampaging and slaughtering Gu Masters, Fang Yuan smiled coldly as he left.
An immortal killer move with Fixed Immortal Travel as the core activated, bringing him to the next location.
Celestial Court wanted to repair fate, they needed to hold the Refinement Path Convention to obtain success dao marks. How could Fang Yuan let Celestial Court get what they wanted so easily?
