"Buzz..."
On this day, Ji Chen returned with Qu Luoning and Yanyan after a day out in Yang City.
Just as he was about to cultivate, suddenly, outside the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect, a beam of light flew in, extrely fast, and in the blink of an eye, descended into the sect.
Ji Chen gazed afar and was taken aback.
He recognized the visitor, it was unexpectedly the Kunlun Saintess Si Ruyan.
"Fairy, what brings you here?"
In the square, Ji Chen ca to Si Ruyan and led her towards the main hall of Lingyun Sect.
As the Saintess of Kunlun, Si Ruyan would only co personally if there was sothing important.
Inside the main hall, Qu Luoning was also present, as were Fang Qingyao, Ji Xiaotian, and others.
After all, with Qu Luoning’s extraordinary status, they naturally wouldn’t neglect her visit to Lingyun Sect today.
"A grand gathering of the Human and Ancient Races is set to take place in the Eastern Desolation. At that ti, representatives from Kunlun, Taixu, Dao Inference, and the Desolate Ancient Emperor Race will all attend. I’ve co to inform Lingyun Sect about this event." Si Ruyan spoke, directly stating the purpose of her visit.
"A conference for the two races?"
Hearing this, Ji Chen was astonished, "What is the purpose?"
Si Ruyan replied, "Naturally, it is to ease the enmity between the two races. Since the Desolate Ancient Era, conflicts frequently erupt between us. Reaching a peace agreent is sothing both the Human Race and the Ancient Race would welco."
"Did the fairy co personally to inform us because you want Lingyun Sect to participate?"
She nodded, "You possess the Hongng Body and have nine Spirit Veins. Your stance at the conference is naturally crucial, not to ntion your deep enmity with the Ancient Race. If it could be resolved, it would be ideal."
"I don’t mind, but as for the Ancient Race, they might not be willing to negotiate with . After all, I’ve killed so many of them, and now I’ve taken their Ancestral King’s Weapon, sealing it in the Emperor’s Coffin. If I appear at the conference, I’m afraid..." Ji Chen remarked.
"Rest assured, if I dare to invite you, when we go to the Eastern Desolation, even if the Ancient Race dares to take action against you, Kunlun will not stand by idly." Si Ruyan assured.
"Moreover, this ti, the Ancient Race is very keen on peace talks and should not act recklessly."
"Why is this so sudden?"
Ji Chen was puzzled. Logically, with the Ancient Race’s revival and the awakening of their Ancestral Kings, their overall strength is no less than that of the Human Race.
Throughout history, only the weak have sought peace with the strong.
And this does not seem to align with the Ancient Race’s usual approach.
Si Ruyan fell silent, her brows slightly furrowed. After a mont of silence, she said, "In recent years, the Celestial Martial Boundary seems to have loosened, especially in the last two months, the signs of loosening have beco significantly more pronounced, and this should be the primary reason."
Ji Chen still did not understand, looking at her as if waiting for more.
Si Ruyan continued, "The loosening of the boundary signifies a connection to the outer starry realm. Beyond Celestial Martial lies a world where cultivators exist. When these Outer Realm cultivators co, they will surely covet Celestial Martial. Only by ceasing internal strife between the Human and Ancient Races and confronting the external threat together is the best strategy."
"Outer Realm cultivators!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chen and the others couldn’t help but change their expressions.
In the vast starry sky, besides Celestial Martial, there are surely other ancient stars inhabited by life.
It’s said that during the Ancient Era, when the Human Race was still very weak, the Celestial Martial Boundary once loosened, allowing Outer Realm cultivators to descend from the heavens. At that ti, it was the Ancient Race that rose and forced these Outer Realm cultivators to retreat.
No wonder the Ancient Race is urgently calling for a peace conference; having resisted an Outer Realm invasion, they know better than anyone how terrifying these Outer Realm cultivators are.
Since the Desolate Ancient years, the constant internal conflicts between the Human and Ancient Races have drained too much of Celestial Martial’s vitality. If it doesn’t stop, the descending Outer Realm cultivators would bring unimaginable horrors to this land.
"When does the conference start?" Ji Chen inquired.
Si Ruyan replied, "It will be within half a month. The journey to the East Desolate Mountain is long, and it takes considerable ti to traverse between domains. If there’s nothing else, we can set off now."
"To travel between the two domains requires transmission through the Domain Gate. There is an Ancient Domain Gate in Profound Domain Holy City, though it hasn’t been used for years, it should still function."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chen nodded. Indeed, traveling between domains takes considerable ti.
Even using the Domain Gate transmission, it takes about ten days.
Soon, after so arrangents, that afternoon, Ji Chen and Si Ruyan left Lingyun Sect together, heading towards the direction of the Holy City.
The next day, upon arriving at the Holy City, they found that many cultivators had gathered.
People from various major forces were assembled in the city’s square. Here, an ancient Domain Gate allows for travel between the two domains. However, activating it and traversing domains requires a considerable amount of Spirit Stones, a cost ordinary cultivators can’t bear.
In recent tis, news of the two races’ conference has spread throughout the Celestial Martial world.
Not only the Human Race’s Sacred Lands and Emperor Races but also many cultivators from dium and small forces, and even so Loose Cultivators, plan to attend. Everyone is eligible to go.
As a result, in the past few days, many cultivators have gathered in the Holy City and used the Domain Gate here to transport themselves to the Eastern Desolation.
Ji Chen and Si Ruyan arrived, didn’t have to queue long, and soon took out Spirit Stones to activate the Domain Gate. After setting the coordinates, they stepped into the Domain Gate.
"Buzz..."
A feeling of weightlessness enveloped them as they stepped into the Domain Gate. Instantly, Ji Chen’s vision was covered with a layer of pale white.
Fortunately, this sensation didn’t last long. When his vision returned, he and Si Ruyan found themselves moving at an incredible speed through the transmission tunnel.
"From here to the Eastern Desolation, it will take about seven to ten days." Si Ruyan stated, sitting down cross-legged.
Ji Chen sat down beside her; cultivation was impossible in the transmission tunnel, so for the next few days, he and Qu Luoning could only wait quietly.
"I heard the Emperor’s Coffin you obtained in Li Yuan’s Tomb is made of Divine Source?" Qu Luoning suddenly asked.
Ji Chen nodded, "The power within these Divine Sources hasn’t been entirely depleted, and I also researched it. Although it’s an empty coffin, it likely once held Emperor’s Bone. But later on, I don’t know what happened, and the Emperor’s Bone has vanished."
"The Ancient Emperor’s Burial Coffin is not a common item. Calling this coffin an Emperor’s Weapon wouldn’t be an exaggeration. You’re quite fortunate. Nowadays, very few forces have inherited any Emperor’s Item. Even in my Kunlun, there’s only a fragnt of an Emperor’s Weapon." She spoke.
But Ji Chen replied, "There is still so difference between it and an Emperor’s Weapon. After all, an Emperor’s Weapon can be imbued with Spiritual Power for activation. The re presence of its power can crush a country. But the Emperor’s Coffin I obtained is just the coffin itself, with a strength equivalent to an Emperor’s Weapon, useful rely as a weighty iron block for battering."
