930: Chapter 37 Who is Gu Jiuge_2 930: Chapter 37 Who is Gu Jiuge_2 However, participants must not exceed the Cave Heaven Realm in cultivation level, as this is a restriction.
Therefore, many are itching to try their luck, especially those who come from ordinary forces are even more so.
At this moment, within a distant team, Xuan Yi Sectâs Ling Fei and Liao Yun were present.
The latterâs face was flushed with excitement, a clear indication of his inner agitation.
âJunior Sister, we must succeed, secure two spots, and join forces to enter.
Weâll search for opportunities inside and strive to reach the late-phase of the Celestial Realm or even perfection, and perhaps even break through directly to the Cave Heaven Realm!â Liao Yun clenched his fists, psyching himself up.
Ling Fei was pale and beautiful, with a slender waist and a calm and indifferent expression; she did not show any signs of excitement.
In response to Liao Yunâs words, she simply nodded slightly, without saying much.
Seeing this, Liao Yun was not surprised, as he was well aware that this was just how Ling Fei was.
At that time, the two suddenly heard a buzz of discussion.
âWith the gathering of tumultuous forces in Qingzhou, powerhouses and sacred lands from the Human Clan, like the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Mount Tianzhu, and Burning Heaven Valley, have all arrived.
The Tiankui Clan, Blood Orchid Clan, Soaring Snake Clan, and the Jiuying Clan from different races are here too.
Yet, why is the mysterious Gu Jiuge nowhere to be seen?â
âIndeed, Iâve heard that Gu Jiuge is extremely enigmatic.
Apart from appearing in Han State, no one has seen him elsewhere, and he isnât present here either.
Could it be that he would abstain from such a grand gathering?â
âEven people from those reclusive sects have arrived, so why hasnât Gu Jiuge shown up yet?
He is the first among the younger generation of the Gray Domain to be ranked on the worldâs gold list.
I really want to know who he actually is!â
For a time, there was a flurry of discussion about Gu Chen, with everyone curious as to why he hadnât yet appeared.
All attendees of the grand event were aware of the weight the name Gu Jiuge carried; if he desired to make an appearance, he could even skip the assessment and directly enter, just like Gu Yan and the others.
At that moment, within the crowd, Ling Feiâs eyes slightly stirred.
Every time she heard this familiar name, it caused a ripple in her heart.
As for Liao Yun, his expression darkened, cursing his bad luck inwardly.
Every time he heard that name, he felt extremely uncomfortable, yet he dared not voice his feelings, instead directing his anger towards Gu Chen in the Medicinal Valley of Meteor State.
âA lucky bastard, to share a name with such an outstanding figure, makes me tremble inside every time I hear it!â Liao Yun cursed internally.
This was just a snapshot of the larger scene.
As the grand event was about to start, Gu Chenâs name was being discussed in many places.
Even the powers from the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Burning Heaven Valley, and different races such as the Tiankui Clan, Blood Orchid Clan, Soaring Snake Clan, as well as the Jiuying Clan, were all brimming with curiosity.
They all wanted to know who exactly Gu Jiuge was, but to their surprise, he still hadnât appeared yet.
Everyone was highly curious about this individual, the first among the younger generation of the Gray Domain to be titled on the gold list.
âNingshan, do you know which sect Gu Jiuge comes from?
Is it Hovering Island, Yin Yang Heaven Sect, or some other?â The Ninth Prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Yan, who was the center of attention, turned to the woman with delicate and charming features standing beside him.
She was Xue Ningshan, the current successor of the reclusive Lingdao Mountain sect.
Upon hearing this, she gently shook her head and said, âI do not know; this person indeed is very mysterious.â
Hearing that even Xue Ningshan, from a reclusive sect like himself, did not know, Gu Yanâs brow furrowed unintentionally.
Regarding Gu Jiuge, all he knew was the otherâs exploits in Han State, and that the person had only appeared there.
What concerned Gu Yan the most was that, according to information obtained by the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Gu Jiuge was an acquaintance of Gu Qingyan, who had the Body of Xuan Yin from the Frost Soul Sect.
Moreover, Gu Qingyan was the sister of the person from the lower realm.
This made Gu Yan feel that something didnât quite add up.
âCould it be you?â With this thought, the current ninth prince of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynastyâs eyes turned cold.
He had a particularly deep impression of the only person who had ever defeated him.
Meanwhile, as time passed, it was finally announced that the selection had officially begun.
Gu Yan and a group of the most outstanding prodigies from the Gray Domain heard this statement and cast only a brief glance before looking away.
To them, aside from a few exceptions, everyone else was negligible; not to mention those just there to make up the numbers.
They couldnât be bothered to take a longer look, feeling it a waste of time.
The most urgent task at hand was to find Gu Jiuge.
Only by knowing both friend and foe could they emerge unscathed from all battles.
Many people didnât believe that such a grand event would be ignored by the prodigious younger generation.
âIt has finally started!
I am going to enter and find my fortune, then rise to the heavens in one go!â Upon hearing that the selection had finally begun, someone was excited and clenched their fists tightly!
âOriginating from the last great epochâs Cave Heaven Realm, it must contain all sorts of incredible opportunities and inheritances.
I will give it my all to obtain them, to reverse the fate of my sect!â
âI need to break through, I need the spiritual medicine, to use as an engagement gift for my junior sister!â
In an instant, all the participantsâ blood boiled with excitement, each with their own goals, choosing to enter this Cave Heaven Realm.
At that moment, a grand voice resounded throughout the vast city of Qingzhou, saying, âThe selection officially begins.
After entering the secret realm, life and death are determined by fate.
Those above one hundred years of age or who possess cultivation exceeding the Cave Heaven Realm, please do not participate, otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation!â
This was the voice of a sanctified Earth realm powerhouse, aimed at warning certain unlawful individuals and advising them not to entertain any other ideas or want to fish in troubled waters.
âMy path, my Dao, is right there; I must break in!â A young being gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.
They were an independent cultivator without a master.
Anything they wanted had to be fought for on their own.
Gu Chen was also amid the crowd, his expression calm as he followed the crowd moving forward.
Along the way, he keenly noticed that Da Xiaâs Human Emperor was also moving ahead.
The first trial was a great formation.
Although formation masters were extremely rare, given the vastness of the Upper Realm, there were naturally some of them.
âAhhâŠâ
Soon, the formation lit up, ejecting group after group of failures.
Inside, fierce winds surged, and thunder and lightning flashed.
To pass the trial, one had to survive for a quarter of an hour within it.
Then, as time was up, a large number of people entered, but only a tiny fraction managed to get through.
Following that, the second group, the third groupâŠ
Despite the large number of participants, the formation was terrifying, rapidly filtering out people, with each group having very few pass through, not even one-tenth.
It didnât take long for Gu Chen to see that Da Xiaâs Human Emperor went in and successfully endured the fifteen minutes.
Shortly after that, some time passed, and it was Gu Chenâs turn.
As expected, he also passed smoothly.
The failures were extremely discouraged, but there was only one chance; if they failed, they had to leave.
As for the successful ones, special personnel led them away to a stone stele.
After the first trial, about seventy percent of people were eliminated, but the remaining number was still significant.
âThis trial tests combat strength.
The strong may proceed, the weak must retreat.
Donât think about hiding your abilities, or you might very well lose your chance!â the person overseeing the test said this.
