Above the island, the air of immortals was enshrouded in divine light. Everywhere was filled with light and fog. It was like a dream, like a fairyland. Auspicious beasts roared, phoenixes flew, green pines and ancient trees were everywhere, and strange rocks were everywhere.
On one side was a spirit pond that looked like an ancient well. It was clear and sparkling, surrounded by fog. There was a strange and inexplicable rhythm that intertwined with the principles of Dao.
"Is this the future …?"
Gu Xian 'er murmured. Her little face was pale from disbelief. She stood there in a daze, as if she was struck by lightning.
The bald big red bird glanced at her from the corner of its eyes, as if it was disdainful of her reaction.
"What did you see in there? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost …?"
The childish voice that came out of its mouth was extremely childish. Then, it wobbled towards the spirit pool.
Gu Xian 'er was not very clear about what it saw in there, because it could not see.
The origin of the Rebirth Pond was mysterious. There was a saying that it was created in ancient times by an almighty person who was proficient in the principles of time and reincarnation.
The big red bird's origin was not simple. It knew many secrets and knew about many mysterious places in the Upper Realm.
That was why it brought Gu Xian 'er here to try its luck, to see if it could find anything good.
In the end, Gu Xian 'er and it accidentally triggered the test array left behind by the previous owner of this place, and were trapped on the island.
If not for Gu Xian 'er's exceptional talent and strength, they would not have been able to break through these restrictions and array patterns in a short time.
As for the Rebirth Pond, the big red bird only recognized it after looking at it for a long time.
At first, it did not believe that a divine object like the Rebirth Pond would appear in such a place.
One must know that even the existence of immortals had no secrets in front of the Rebirth Pond. Their past and future would be exposed.
Now, Gu Xian 'er was only a Saint. Naturally, it could not escape the mysterious power of the Rebirth Pond.
"Why is it like this …?"
"Why is the future like this …?"
However, at this moment, Gu Xian 'er did not seem to have recovered from the state just now. It kept muttering, unable to imagine what it saw.
"Girl, what did you see?"
The big red bird moved over and asked in confusion.
Gu Xian 'er's face was pale. She seemed to be in pain.
She shook her head. Suddenly, she grabbed the big red bird's wings and said, "Hurry up and tell me that everything I see is fake. None of it is real."
The big red bird seemed to have a headache. "What exactly did you see inside? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
"This is indeed the Pond of Rebirth. It can reflect the future. Although you don't believe it, it is indeed true."
Hearing the big red bird's words, Gu Xian 'er seemed to deflate and slowly crouched down.
Tears began to flow down her fairy-like face. Her appearance was heart-wrenching.
"This can't be real … Gu Changge, he … how did he become like that …"
"He won't do that."
She muttered, but her voice trembled uncontrollably, as if she was in incomparable pain. Her voice carried a hint of sobbing.
"The future you saw is related to that guy Gu Changge?"
After hearing these words, the big red bird seemed to immediately widen its eyes in shock.
It was experienced and knowledgeable, and its origins were even more mysterious. However, it had never seen someone as unfathomable and unfathomable as Gu Changge. It was to the extent where it couldn't even deduce him.
That was why it had always wanted Gu Xian 'er to stay away from Gu Changge. It felt that Gu Changge's intentions were impure, and that he was plotting something bad.
However, Gu Xian 'er didn't take its words to heart at all. Instead, she was extremely concerned about Gu Changge, placing him in her heart.
"You … What exactly did you see inside the Pond of Rebirth?"
The big red bird's expression became serious as it asked again.
Gu Xian 'er shook her head. She didn't say much. Only after squatting for a while did she seem to have recovered. However, the rims of her eyes were still red.
"I am going to find him."
She raised her beautiful little face and looked into the distance. Her porcelain like skin was suffused with a sparkling luster. There were traces of tears that hadn't dried yet.
…
Gu Changge still didn't know that in a distant place, Gu Xian 'er had seen a wisp of the future. Her emotions were greatly stirred and she was planning to look for him.
Today, he was following Qing 'er towards the Arena in the depths of the Hundred Realms Battlefield's Vermillion Bird District.
The color of the sky had darkened. The entire ancient city seemed extremely majestic and ancient.
The various pavilions and halls were brightly lit. Brilliant multicolored light filled the air.
The inns and restaurants on both sides were hung with lanterns. The flames were burning brightly, reflecting a kind of warm luster.
Besides the cultivators who lived here, most of the people on the streets were patrolling guards who were in charge of maintaining the rules of this place.
They rode terrifying fierce beasts and ran amok. All pedestrians had to avoid them.
"Actually, besides the fierce people who are accumulating points, there are also sinners sent here by various orthodoxies to atone for their crimes."
On the way, Qing 'er, who had put on a little makeup and a slender figure, was leading the way for Gu Changge while explaining to him.
There were actually many dungeons around the Gladiator Arena.
There were many sinners from ancient aristocratic families, supreme sects, immemorial imperial clans, and even Immortal orthodoxies.
Because of some reason, they needed to obtain points in order to be pardoned and allowed to leave.
Of course, there were also people who said that these people were the death knights of their orthodoxies. That's why they were specially trained in the Arena.
"Here, these criminals kill each other for other cultivators to watch or bet on. Some of them are bought by customers and planted with slave imprints, making them slaves for the rest of their lives. Of course, there are also customers who personally enter the arena and fight with death row criminals to hone their life and death skills."
Seeing Gu Changge nod, Qing 'er smiled and continued to explain.
They walked along the main road of the city. Although it was night, the surroundings were brightly lit.
Many of the patrolling guards recognized Qing 'er, so they were shocked. They didn't expect that she would personally accompany another young man.
Although Gu Changge didn't use a secret technique to conceal his appearance, with his current realm, unless he wanted to, nobody could see his face.
Although the patrolling guards couldn't see Gu Changge's appearance, they could still faintly guess his identity from Qing 'er's attitude. Their expressions were solemn and they didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect.
Gu Changge appeared to be very casual about this. In fact, he did not want to be too high-profile. Otherwise, if he caused a commotion here, it would be easy to alert the enemy.
However, since he appeared in the Hundred Realms Battlefield, the orthodoxies behind him should be keeping an eye on him.
The Arena was located in the deepest part of the city. It was actually an island where several Formation Grandmasters spent tens of thousands of years to seal the spiritual qi and the laws of the world.
However, one would need to pass through a boundless lake on the way. There were many risks.
It was said that the various powers behind the Arena spent a lot of money to build it. They even engraved several powerful formation patterns.
There were also many ferocious beasts in the lake. Even if a Saint Realm cultivator tried to break through, they would be seriously injured.
As the night deepened, many silhouettes rushed over from all over the place.
There were bursts of clouds that soared into the sky. Formation patterns lit up and flashed with killing intent. A layer of mist appeared on the surface of the lake, making it look like sparkling silver.
Jade boats and phoenix boats flew past with great speed towards the small island at the center of the lake. Many cultivators were on their way as well.
However, if one didn't have a certain level of cultivation, crossing the blue lake was very likely to be torn apart by the beasts in the water.
Huge shadows swam under the water, waiting for an opportunity to devour people. Because of this, the cultivators were very cautious. If they accidentally fell into the water, nobody would save them.
Among these cultivators, many came from the lower realms. They wanted to broaden their horizons and see how cruel the battles in the Hundred Realms Battlefield were.
A group of people from the Green Flood Ancient World were here. There were Lu Ming, Xue Yan, and the others from the Profound Heavenly Rainbow Sect. There were also young seeds from other powers. Their expressions were solemn as they were extremely careful.
They chose to join the Vermillion Bird Square. They didn't want to clash with the ancient world that was hostile to them.
Compared to the other squares, the Vermillion Bird Square was much more peaceful.
It was said that this was because the ruler behind the Vermillion Bird Square was a woman. Compared to other rulers, her methods were much gentler.
"In a while, you guys will follow behind me. After entering the arena, just watch quietly. Remember, don't get into a conflict with others."
"No matter what happens, you have to be patient. Otherwise, if there's a life and death battle, I won't be able to protect you."
Lu Ming, Xue Yan, and the other young geniuses from the Green Flood Ancient World were now following behind a man in a scholarly robe.
The scholarly robed man's expression was very solemn. On the way here, he constantly warned everyone, worried that they would cause trouble here.
He warned them again and again. He was incomparably cautious.
Although his ancestor was related to the Green Flood Ancient World and he received a lot of benefits from these people, he was still a nobody.
But in the huge Ancient World Battlefield, he was just an insignificant minor character. He didn't dare to offend the others at all.
The only thing he could do was be a guide.
Right now, his palms were covered in cold sweat. He felt that there were a lot of thorns among the geniuses behind him. They could easily cause trouble.
What made him most uneasy was that there were a few girls who were extremely beautiful.
In the chaotic Hundred Realm Battlefield, it was easy to attract the covetous eyes of other experts.
Resources, cultivation methods, women, territory … These things had always been fought for in the Hundred Realm Battlefield.
As for the elders behind these geniuses, he couldn't count on them. Their cultivation wasn't enough.
"Is this the Gladiator Arena? Why does it look even more glorious than those romantic places from the outside … "
"I've really broadened my horizons today."
Lu Ming, Xue Yan, and the others stepped on a jade ship and passed through the center of the lake.
When they saw the scene in front of them, everyone's eyes widened in shock. They didn't dare to believe their eyes. They even held their breaths, wondering if they had come to the wrong place.
In front of them were palaces and pavilions. They seemed to be standing in the void!
The aura of formation runes around them seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.
There were a lot of cultivators coming and going in an endless stream.
From the outside, it was difficult to combine this place with the arena and the death row. It was like a heavenly palace.
"Don't make a fuss. The spatial laws here are very mysterious. There's a universe inside. You'll know when you see it."
The Confucian-robed man shook his head, ignoring the country bumpkins as he explained. Then he planned to lead the group inside.
From the outside, one couldn't see anything special about the arena.
Boom!
At this time, while everyone was talking, a burst of aura rose from the east.
A wave of sky-piercing aura came. Numerous young disciples, who had horns on their heads and wings on their backs, and looked very different from human beings, showed up on the jade boats and stepped onto the island.
Each of them had a proud and faintly disdainful expression. They didn't put the surrounding cultivators in their eyes as they rampantly walked into the palace.
"They're from the Ancient Imperial Clan. We should avoid them so as to avoid clashing with them. If that happens, we'll be the ones to regret it."
Many cultivators were afraid and quietly retreated. They didn't expect this group of people to appear here.
There were many powerful forces in the Vermilion Bird Square, and one of them was the Ancient Imperial Clan. It wasn't a single clan, but many.
Sometimes, even the successors of the great sects who came here to train were afraid of this group of people and didn't want to clash with them.
"Hurry up and move aside. Don't block their way. Otherwise, they won't be reasonable with you later."
The group of geniuses from the Green Flood Ancient World were still standing in the same place. They seemed to be sizing up this group of Ancient Imperial Clan disciples.
The Confucian-robed man's expression changed and turned pale. He hurriedly said, wanting them to move aside.
"Move aside?"
The group of geniuses from the Green Flood Ancient World also reacted quickly and hurriedly moved aside.
The reason why they were curious was because it was the first time they saw such a young Ancient Imperial Clan member with such shocking vitality.
In their world, only the Ancient Imperial Clan with a bloodline that was countless times thinner than the Ancient Imperial Clan could stand on their own. Their strength was extremely terrifying.
The group of Ancient Imperial Clan disciples in front of them all had unimaginably dense bloodlines.
However, although they moved aside in time, they were still an eyesore in the eyes of the group of Ancient Imperial Clan disciples behind them. They were much slower.
"Where did these insects come from? How dare they block our way?"
An extremely tall and sturdy young man who looked like a golden rhinoceros said coldly with a flash of killing intent in his eyes. He was extremely cold.
In their eyes, the group of geniuses from the lower world in front of them were insects. They were even inferior to ants.
They actually dared to block the way and obstruct them from entering the arena. They were simply courting death!
"He's going to kill us."
Lu Ming, Xue Yan, and the others' expressions changed when they felt the terrifying killing intent enveloping them. Everyone couldn't help but tremble as their souls turned cold.
The Confucian-robed man's face turned pale and he couldn't help but tremble. "Oh no, oh no, we're in big trouble …"
The tall and sturdy man among the group of Ancient Imperial Clan disciples snorted coldly. He was from the Ancient Barbarian Elephant Clan and his strength was extremely terrifying.
In the next moment, he swept his long trunk, and it was as if a mountain had turned around. It contained shocking power.
A genius from the Green Flood Ancient World who couldn't dodge in time exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a boom. He didn't even have time to scream.
The expressions of the surrounding cultivators changed drastically and they hurriedly moved aside, afraid that they would be implicated.
They looked at the group of geniuses from the lower world with pity and sympathy in their eyes.
They couldn't blame others for this. They could only say that they were too unlucky to have angered the group of Ancient Imperial Clan disciples.
At this time, no one could protect them.
