Chapter 253 Arrival at the Ancient Saint Mountains
After the competition between Xiao Yun and Yao Xingji, the originally boring journey time passed moment later, the warship slowly hovered above a lush mountain range amidst a roar.
"Brother Xiao Yun, we have arrived at the Ancient Saint Mountains!"
At the edge of the warship, Gu Qingyang pointed at the steep mountains below and said with a smile.
Xiao Yun's gaze followed the direction of his fingers. Just by looking with his naked eyes, before using his soul to perceive, he could already sense many powerful auras hidden in the mountains and forests.
"Tsk tsk, the Dou Emperor bloodline is really powerful. There are so many Dou Zun masters here..."
The bloodline of the Dou Emperor is indeed so terrifying. For people from ancient families, when it comes to practicing Dou Qi, from Dou Zhe to Dou Zun, the bottleneck is dispensable. It can be said to be a scaled-down version of the panel without a bottleneck.
Although it will gradually weaken after reaching the level of Dou Zun, breaking through to the level of Dou Sheng will become an obstacle.
But it can quickly create top-level combat power, making the Dou Zun strongmen less valuable.
This is also the reason why, in the later period of the original time and space, the Dou Zun strongmen were guarding the gate.
Of course, what we are talking about here is the normal concentration of Dou Di blood. For ordinary people or the Xiao family, they will have to reach the bottleneck.
"There are pros and cons. However, with Brother Xiao Yun's talent as a 21-year-old Seven-Star Dou Zun, do you really think that Dou Emperor bloodline is terrifying?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yun smiled and said nothing more. Up to now, his talent was still secondary. The main thing was that he had a cheat!
"Brother Xiao Yun, let's go down!"
Then, Gu Qingyang led Xiao Yun and his party to the resting place specially set up by the ancient clan for the seven ancient clans.
Compared with other ordinary guests' resting places, the place Xiao Yun and his friends came to was obviously more upscale.
This kind of high-end is not only reflected in the luxurious appearance, but is embodied in many aspects.
There is a team of Black Annihilation Army and a team of maids stationed in front of each room, waiting at the door at any time of the day. In terms of "security" and service, it crushes the former.
Moreover, people from the seven ancient tribes can roam freely in the Ancient Saint Mountains as long as they are accompanied by the Black Annihilation Army.
"Xiaoyun, the scenery of this mountain range is really beautiful. I really want to go for a walk..."
Standing at the door of the room, Zi Yan looked at the misty mountains and forests below, as if she had never seen such a beautiful scenery before, and excitedly wiped the tears that flowed from her mouth.
"Haha, Miss Zi Yan, you are from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and you are also a distinguished guest of my ancient clan. There is no need to be restrained." Hearing this, Gu Qingyang smiled slightly.
However, before Zi Yan could say anything, Xiao Yun said, "Brother Qingyang, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. She doesn't think it looks good, she thinks it tastes good."
Immediately, he turned his head to look at Zi Yan and said helplessly: "Wipe your saliva. Aren't there enough herbs in your ring? Do you want to try some here?"
"That's different. There are some species here that I haven't seen on Dragon Island!"
Seeing that she was exposed by Xiao Yun, Zi Yan's face sank and she said righteously.
Gu Qingyang, who was standing by, just realized his real purpose, smiled and said:
"Haha, it's okay for just a few herbs. Since Miss Zi Yan likes them, then we can try them all."
"Gu Ning, go get some of the medicinal herbs from the clan and send them here later!"
"Yes!" The Hei Yan soldier named Guning clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned around and left.
"Hey, hey! Thank you so much! You're such a nice person!"
After hearing Gu Qingyang's words, Zi Yan, who still had the mindset of a little kid, naturally didn't know what rejection meant, and immediately laughed.
Xiao Yun had a helpless look on his face. He took a portion of the medicinal herbs from each family. Although it was nothing to the wealthy ancient clan, it was still a gesture of affection after all.
The principle that one should be grateful to the people who have helped him will never be wrong.
"I am Zhu Ming! Thank you for your kindness, Clan Leader Gu Shao. If you need any medicinal herbs in the future, you can come to my Ancient Dragon Clan and get them yourself!"
Elder Zhuming stood up and clasped his fists to thank Zi Yan on her behalf.
"No, no, a few medicinal herbs are not worthy of the gift of a saint."
Gu Qingyang quickly turned sideways to avoid Zhu Ming's thanks. Just as he said, such a small amount of medicinal herbs was really nothing.
"It's getting late, so we won't disturb you guys' rest. Tomorrow is the day for our bloodline test, so please come and visit us then."
Afterwards, Gu Qingyang and others said goodbye, and the former called Xiao Yun out alone before leaving.
……
On top of a steep mountain, Gu Qingyang, dressed in a green shirt, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rolling sea of clouds in the distance.
Behind him, Xiao Yun was sitting on a huge rock with a helpless smile on his face.
This Gu Qingyang called me out but didn't say anything. Is he pretending to be cool?
In this slightly silent atmosphere, just when he couldn't help himself, Gu Qingyang finally spoke.
He turned around, looked at Xiao Yun calmly, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Yun, do you know why I called you out?"
Nonsense, why would I come out with you if I knew that?
Xiao Yun's forehead was covered with black lines, and he said unhappily, "If you have something to say, just say it now, don't keep us in suspense!"
"Haha, don't be impatient."
Seeing this, Gu Qingyang shook his head helplessly, but still said: "Brother Xiao Yun, I just want to tell you.
Last time, when you exchanged the ancient jade for the qualification to enter the Heavenly Tomb, the clan leader agreed, but the elders had some complaints... "Some radical factions in the clan felt that Senior Xiao Xuan had agreed to hand over the ancient jade to the ancient clan for safekeeping thousands of years ago.
Now that you have returned, you have only fulfilled the promise that Senior Xiao Xuan made a thousand years ago.
So, they don’t want you to enter the Heavenly Tomb.”
"Oh!"
A dull sound echoed across the mountain. Xiao Yun slowly raised his head with a slightly gloomy expression. The huge rock beneath him had broken into two pieces at some point.
"So, the ancient jade of my Xiao clan was stolen like this?"
Although the voice was calm, Gu Qingyang could hear the suppressed anger in it.
"Of course not. Some of the elders in the clan are too pedantic."
After comforting Xiao Yun a little, Gu Qingyang continued, “However, the clan is not going to let you go in directly.
They have reached a consensus and finally decided to allow you to enter the Heavenly Tomb only after you pass a test."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun sneered in his heart. The Ancient Clan is still the Ancient Clan after all, and they think highly of themselves!
Considering themselves superior to others and looking down on people from outside is a common problem among ancient families.
And this is especially true for the ancient clan, which is known as the first family!
They looked down on some of the ancient families, let alone Xiao Yun, a member of the Xiao clan that had been in decline for a thousand years.
So what if he has a high talent? As long as he cannot break through the Doudi level, even if he becomes a nine-star peak Dousheng and returns the Xiao family to the top level, he cannot do anything to the ancient clan. The latter can only give up some of their interests.
A thousand years later, when Xiao Yun dies, without the blessing of the Dou Emperor's bloodline, the Xiao family will probably decline again, just like the Fenyan Valley.
But their ancient clan! They are still able to prosper and last forever!
However, although he was unhappy, Xiao Yun did not show it, but his voice was slightly lowered.
"What is the test?"
"The test is to let you compete with the genius of our clan in tomorrow's bloodline ceremony!
The ancient demon stopped you at the city gate earlier. It was probably their doing to test Brother Xiao Yun's strength, but the ancient demon didn't know about it."
Xiao Yun nodded slightly. With the straightforward character of the ancient demon, he would take action on his own even without knowing the situation.
"So, my opponent tomorrow will be you, right?" Xiao Yun said calmly, his eyes fixed on Gu Qingyang.
“That’s right.” Gu Qingyang nodded calmly and said with a smile: “The elders didn’t expect that you are so powerful that even the ancient demon can’t withstand a single blow from you!
After much deliberation, they decided that I was the only one who could barely be a match for Brother Xiao Yun."
Although he belittled himself in his words, there was a fire burning deep in his eyes.
The ancient clan loves war! Although Gu Qingyang looks gentle and kind on the surface, he is also a warmonger in his heart!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the commander-in-chief of the Black Army at such a young age.
"Brother Qingyang, you are too modest. With your strength, I am the only one who is barely qualified."
Xiao Yun waved his hands, not believing a single word of Gu Qingyang's words.
I don't know what treasure the ancient clan gave him. He seemed to be shrouded in a fog, and I couldn't sense his specific cultivation level.
But as the young patriarch of the ancient clan and the current number one genius, and after seeing Xiao Yun slap the ancient monster silly, he was still chosen for the test.
Gu Qingyang's cultivation is at least on par with Xiao Yun, and may even be one level higher.
"Okay, Brother Xiao Yun, now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more."
"I'm here to tell you, just hoping that you won't become hostile to the entire Ancient Clan because of some people in the clan!"
Gu Qingyang looked at the young man in front of him with an extremely sincere gaze and spoke slowly.
"Well, don't worry. For personal reasons, I won't rise to the family level yet."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun smiled. In the other person's mind, what kind of reckless man was he?
Whether it is the Ancient Clan or the Medicine Clan, there are many fools in the clan, but not all of them are like this.
He would not be so stupid as to become hostile to the entire Ancient Clan or the Medicine Clan because of a trivial matter.
Of course, the Soul Clan is a different matter. Every one of them has been brainwashed by something called ambition.
Considering the entire Douqi Continent as theirs, the Soul Clan will surely dominate the world in the future!
This is even more true for their clan leader, Emperor Hun Tian, who has been planning for a thousand years and refining Zhongzhou with blood, just to break through to become the Dou Emperor. After breaking through to become the Dou Emperor, it is difficult for him to guarantee his own safety.
Therefore, one of Xiao Yun and the Soul Clan must be destroyed!
Gu Qingyang was relieved when he saw Xiao Yun's expression and said with a smile, "In that case, I won't disturb Brother Xiao Yun's rest.
But I won't let you down in tomorrow's battle! I hope you can go all out and let me see the style of the number one evildoer in Zhongzhou!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the space around him began to fluctuate slowly, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body disappeared on the mountain.
"Give it your all..."
A ray of dark flame flowed in Xiao Yun's eyes. Since someone in the ancient clan wanted to test him, he would let them see it all at once!
He believed that even if he lost the battle tomorrow, the old man Gu Yuan would go against everyone's opinion and send him to the Heavenly Tomb.
But at the same time, his plan to use the Ancient Clan to contain the Soul Clan would probably be difficult to realize in the future.
Instead of spending a lot of manpower and time to help someone whose talent is not as good as Gu Qingyang, it is better to concentrate on training the latter.
By then, relying solely on the current Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, it would be difficult for them to resist the wrath of the Soul Clan.
Therefore, Xiao Yun has reasons to win tomorrow's battle!
good night, everyone
