The ancient existences glanced at each other after hearing what Jiang Chen had said. They all seemed to be pondering, but they did not agree right away.
This place was extremely dangerous. In fact, they did not trust Jiang Chen very much.
What if he had done something wrong and harmed all of them?
No matter what, one should always be on guard against people.
"Jiang Chen, since you have a way, why don't we trust you this time? As long as you can help us save our ancestors, you can state whatever conditions you want. "
The Ji family's ancestors came forward at this moment. They looked very serious.
They had learned about Jiang Chen's skills on their way here, so they were not worried about him.
Now, the road was right in front of them. They would be able to save their ancestors soon. Of course, they agreed right away, regardless of the consequences.
"I hope you can keep your promise."
Jiang Chen nodded and said calmly.
He had a good understanding of the Ji family's ancestors.
They were a bunch of old guys who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful. They had just agreed, but if they did not need him later, they would definitely kick him to death.
So, Jiang Chen had a detailed plan. He would not let go of anyone here.
Since the Ji family's ancestors had agreed, the ancient existences from the Celestial Emperor Mountain and the Ancient Ye Race also nodded.
Then, Jiang Chen suddenly smiled coldly. Looking at Gu Changge behind him, he said, "Young Lord Changge, you have great skills. Your strength is unfathomable. Even those who have achieved the Doctrine are not a match for you."
"I think if Young Lord Changge helps us, we will have a higher chance of succeeding in saving the Ji family's ancestors."
"Young Lord Changge, what do you think?"
The crowd's expression changed slightly. They looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
They did not expect him to ask Gu Changge to help him at this moment.
Just how much courage did he have?
Even those who had achieved the Doctrine were not enough. Did he want to ask Gu Changge for help as well?
Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chuyue's expressions changed slightly. They were worried. They were afraid Gu Changge would kill Jiang Chen with one palm strike at this moment.
"Oh, since there is something this Gu can help with, then this Gu will naturally not be stingy."
Gu Changge withdrew his gaze from Mount Kun and smiled faintly. He was not as angry as everyone thought. Instead, he played it down.
Jiang Chen snorted to himself. He didn't like Gu Changge's calm expression, as if everything was under his control.
"You'll regret it later."
He sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Then, after inspecting the place for a bit, he began to explain to the ancient existences what they had to do to avoid the dragon's aura.

Everyone listened attentively, fearing that they would miss out on even half a sentence, fearing that they would incur a life and death crisis.
After a short while, the Doctrine Achievers obeyed Jiang Chen. They took out their Doctrine Attainment Artifacts and launched them toward a specific place ahead of them.
With a series of rumbling sounds, multicolored light soared into the sky. It was as if there was a True Dragon rolling under everyone's feet. The surrounding mountains began to tremble.
"Let's go."
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, gazing at the intersection where a crack had appeared. He took the lead.
Upon seeing this, no one dared to linger. They all followed him, not daring to stay too far away from him.
"This guy is already at death's door, but he's still thinking of ways to scheme against me."
Gu Changge shook his head slightly. Gazing at Jiang Chen, a strange light flickered in his eyes.
How could he not know about Jiang Chen's scheme?
However, at this moment, he still needed Jiang Chen to find Ji Shengchu for him. He was not in a hurry to attack.
Then, after walking for dozens of miles, they didn't run into any danger. Instead, a strange fragrance suddenly permeated the air.
"What's this smell? It's so fragrant."
A young supreme being from Heavenly Emperor Mountain asked, revealing a shocked expression.
"It's probably some kind of treasure here that's about to ripen."
An old man's face froze. Looking around, he was also surprised.
Upon hearing what kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure it was, everyone here became a little excited and began to look around.
Even the Doctrine Achievers couldn't help but instruct their clansmen through their Holy Wills. They didn't want to miss the treasure here.
Finally, in a cold pool ahead of them, a strong, strange fragrance came from it. It was extremely strong.
What surprised them more was that there were wisps of dragon energy hovering around the cold pool.
There were many strange spiritual herbs growing around the pool. They were giving off a light purple brilliance. Each of them bore a fruit.
"These are Earth Dragon Fruits. It's said that they can only grow after being nourished by dragon energy. They ripen once every 30 million years. There are nine of them here."
An ancient existence was pleasantly surprised. He recognized these strange fruits.
It was said that the Earth Dragon Fruits contained a wisp of genuine dragon energy. They could even help creatures with dragon bloodlines transform. They were invaluable.
"Let's share these fruits among our forces."
The ancient existence from Mount Tiantian said, trying to pick the fruits.
However, when he was about to approach the cold pool, a dreadful cold air suddenly gushed out. It engulfed him in an instant.
Such a scene alarmed everyone. Many young Supremes retreated, not daring to approach.
An extremely ferocious frost dragon poked its head out of the pool. Its eyes were scarlet, revealing a bloodthirsty expression. It opened its mouth and spat out a vast expanse of chaotic cold air toward everyone.
"An Doctrine Achiever frost dragon that has existed for more than 10 million years …"
An Ancestral Patriarch of the Ji Family gasped in shock. He hurriedly took out his own Dao Attainment Weapon in an attempt to resist.
The other Doctrine Achievers also made a move to suppress it.
However, this frost dragon had already developed intelligence. Seeing that there were so many powerhouses here, it let out an unwilling roar and turned into a stream of light. It directly escaped into the depths of Mount Kun and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's smart. Otherwise, the Doctrine Achiever frost dragon is full of treasures."
Many Doctrine Achievers shook their heads regretfully. Then, they began to pick the Earth Dragon Fruits.
Gu Changge didn't do anything and also got two fruits.
To be honest, this thing didn't have much effect on him.
He looked in the direction where the frost dragon escaped and pondered.
Since a creature of the Doctrine Achiever level could live here, wouldn't it mean that other creatures could exist here?
In this case, it gave him an idea. Perhaps he could create an accident that caused the creatures of Mount Kun to riot?
In the next few days, everyone continued to rush into the depths. Later on, they could more clearly hear that strange dull sound coming from the depths.
It was as if there was an extremely ancient heart beating.
However, until now, no one had sensed the location of the Ji family's ancestor. They didn't even hear the slightest movement.
This made everyone in the Ji family wonder if the summoning sound Ji Chuyue heard was real or fake.
Or perhaps the Ji family's ancestor was now a lamp without oil and it was difficult for him to send out any sound.
"What's that?"
Finally, in the depths of the mountain, everyone saw a strange place emitting a faint light. They were all extremely shocked.
It was like a vast waterfall falling from the sky, but also like a big hole that led straight to the depths of the earth.
It seemed to be connected to the legendary Nine Serenities.
However, there was a blue mysterious jade at the entrance of the hole. It seemed like it had been there for tens of thousands of years.
People could faintly see a figure sitting cross-legged in the mysterious jade.
It was a Taoist, wearing a daoist robe and a star crown. He was meditating with his eyes closed. It was unknown how long he had been there.
Even though he was separated by the mysterious jade, people could still feel how extraordinary this Taoist was. It was an energy of the Great Doctrine.
It seemed like he had merged with the world. It was difficult to determine whether he was still alive.
"Did this Taoist's strength surpass the Doctrine Achiever Realm and reach the Immortal Realm when he was alive?"
Many Doctrine Achievers spoke in shock. They sized up this Taoist carefully. They felt like the energy he emitted was terrifying.
This was definitely an indescribable peerless expert. No one knew why he had been sealed here.
"Little brother Jiang, do we have to break the mysterious jade in front of us to go inside?"
At this moment, no one dared act rashly and break the mysterious jade. They could only ask Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was also confused. He was talking with the Celestial Boat's Vessel Spirit. He wanted to know how to go there.
It was totally beyond his expectation that such a mysterious jade would block the way.
At this moment, people felt like the Taoist in the mysterious jade was sizing them up. They did not know whether it was an illusion or not.
Even though the Taoist was meditating with his eyes closed, they still felt like he was looking at them.
"Don't touch him …"
While people were hesitating, unable to make a decision, a faint voice suddenly came from under the waterfall in front of them.
"This … this is …"
"It's our ancestor's voice!"
Those from the Ji family were struck dumb at first. Then they were pleasantly surprised and excited. They felt a throbbing in the depths of their blood.
Undoubtedly, this was their ancestor, who had founded the Ji family and had been called the Human Ancestor.
Ji Shengchu!!!
He was not dead. He was still alive in Mount Kun.
"Looks like it's really Senior Ji Shengchu's voice. He told us not to touch the mysterious jade. How are we going to save him?"
Several Doctrine Achievers glanced at each other in shock. Then they frowned and started to think of a solution.
Someone tried to communicate with Ji Shengchu, who was under the waterfall. However, when their voice reached him, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. It did not create any ripples. Then it went silent.
There was no movement or sound coming from the other side.
"Now the only way out is blocked by the mysterious jade. We can't go in unless we move it away," Jiang Chen said.
After talking with the spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune for a while, he realized what was special about this place.
It could be called a dragon's cave or a dragon's nest.
This Taoist might have offended the real dragon here. After his death, he was sealed by the mysterious jade to seal the dragon's cave to prevent others from entering it.
If they changed the layout of the dragon's cave at will, the Taoist in the mysterious jade could break out of the seal.
By then, he would be like a puppet. He would be so strong that no one here could suppress him.
Jiang Chen was tempted. After all, the way out had been blocked when he came in.
If people took advantage of the chaos to go back the way they had come, they would find all the paths had changed. It was a dead end.
Now, if he were to think of a way to release this Daoist, how many people would be able to escape alive?
"You are heartless. Don't blame me for being heartless …"
Jiang Chen smiled coldly to himself. He already had a way out. He could ask the spirit of the Celestial Boat of Fortune to take him away at any time.
However, the others would not be as lucky as him.
"Young Brother Jiang, do you have any ideas?"
A Taoist asked. He thought Jiang Chen, who was a Divine Origin Master's disciple, might have other ideas.
"The only thing we can do now is to smash it or move it away. Otherwise, we won't be able to enter it," Jiang Chen said, shaking his head. He sounded resolute.
"Senior Ji Shengchu told us not to touch the mysterious jade. He must have other ideas. Are you sure we can only smash it?"
"What are you up to?"
At this moment, Gu Changge, who had been sizing up the mysterious jade, walked over and asked with interest. His eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.
He stared at Jiang Chen as he spoke, as if he did not believe him.
Hearing this, everyone's heart trembled. Compared to the Ji Clan's ancestor, they were naturally more willing to believe the Ji Clan's ancestor.
Since Jiang Chen had said so, who knew whether he had good intentions or not?
Even the Ji family's brother and sister frowned. They realized there was a big grudge between Jiang Chen and Gu Changge.
If Jiang Chen set a trap for them at this moment, what could they do?
The Taoists turned serious. They stared at Jiang Chen unkindly. They wanted him to give them an explanation.
Jiang Chen was surprised by Gu Changge's sudden question. He was also shocked.
However, he still looked calm. He said, "I've already said so. It's up to you whether you believe me or not. It doesn't matter to me whether we save the Ji family's ancestor or not."
He insisted this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, saving the Ji family's ancestor was a matter for the Ji family and the whole Upper Realm.
He had just been forced to come here.
People frowned when they saw Jiang Chen's expression. They started to consider whether they should believe him or not.
The Ji family's ancestor was obviously at the end of his life, but he still had to warn them.
The Taoist sealed in the mysterious jade was not to be underestimated.
Even though he had been dead for many years, his corpse was still enough to put people here in a life-or-death crisis.
However, if they did not move the mysterious jade or smash it, they would not be able to go through.
This was obviously a dilemma.
"Then how can we believe that you won't harm us? You are the only Divine Origin Master here. If you do something secretly, how can we know? "
The Taoists of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain were still worried. They felt Jiang Chen was hiding something from them.
Jiang Chen said calmly, "If you have any other way, just give it a try."
He was sure there were no other entrances here. He had to find a way to deal with the mysterious jade.
"Don't move the mysterious jade. Let's see whether there are other entrances nearby."
At this time, Gu Changge sighed softly, seemingly a little helpless.
People agreed with him. They glanced at Jiang Chen coldly. Then they started to check their surroundings carefully. They did not approach the mysterious jade rashly.
Gu Changge also looked like he was sizing up the surroundings carefully. However, he was sizing up the mysterious jade out of the corner of his eye.
What mattered most was the 690 Taoists sealed in the mysterious jade.
He had a plan in his mind.
"I can save you, but you have to promise me one thing."
Then Gu Changge said calmly. He transmitted his voice through Holy Awareness.
All of a sudden, the Taoist sealed in the mysterious jade seemed to move slightly. However, it was very subtle.
If one did not observe carefully, one would not notice it at all.
Gu Changge was not in a hurry. He knew the Taoist sealed in the mysterious jade was dead. However, there was a new life in it.
In other words, during these years, the corpse had developed intelligence again.
He could use this intelligence to do something for him.
"Are you serious?"
After a long silence, a voice came from the mysterious jade. It sounded very hoarse.
"If you want to come out, you have to listen to me," Gu Changge replied casually. He was not surprised at all.
"Heh, heh, you are threatening me. What if I don't keep my promise?"
The Taoist sealed in the mysterious jade seemed to be smiling coldly.
"Of course, I have my ways to kill you." Gu Changge continued to play it down.
This Taoist had a great cultivation when he was at his peak. He could have been a real immortal.
However, in the current environment, Gu Changge did not need to care too much about him. Moreover, this was just a corpse's intelligence.
"I hope you can keep your promise." The Taoist sealed in the mysterious jade was not stupid. He could sense that Gu Changge was the most powerful person here. He was unfathomable.
"Then just do as I say …"
Gu Changge said calmly. He was going to transmit his plan to the Taoist through holy awareness.
At the same time, he raised his head and looked behind the waterfall. If he had guessed correctly, there should be an underground palace that had been sealed.
The Ji family's ancestor was probably trapped there.
After he had devoured the Ji family's ancestor, he should have succeeded in nirvana and become a Doctrine Achiever.
Jiang Chen's last light and heat should have burned out here.
However, the Demon Seed that had been planted in his body could be useful.
The Demonic Method's inheritor and the Divine Origin Master's inheritor did not conflict with each other. Jiang Chen happened to be good at disguising himself. That was why he was the scapegoat.
"Youngster, save me. I can help you kill these people."
Then, an illusory voice suddenly sounded. It was very ancient.
This voice suddenly echoed in Jiang Chen's mind. His whole body shook. He was scared, but he still managed to stay calm.
"Who are you? Where are you? "
He looked around carefully and tried to communicate with the voice in his mind.
"You should know where I am," the illusory voice echoed again.
However, Jiang Chen managed to calm down at this moment. He took a deep breath and looked carefully at the mysterious jade in which the Taoist was sealed.
This Taoist, who he thought had been dead for a long time, unexpectedly transmitted his voice to him.
Was this Taoist still alive? Had he been trapped here for countless years like the Ji family's ancestor?
"How do you know I killed these people?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice. He was still cautious. He did not agree directly.
"He, he, you have such a strong killing intent. Do you really think I can't detect it?"
"Don't worry. As long as you can save me, I will kill these people for you. What's wrong with that?"
The illusory voice sneered coldly.
