Chapter 640: Celestial Venerable Fu Xu

Chiyan Celestial, as the leader of the twelve Celestials dispatched by the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, naturally prioritized competing for the treasured land.

He would not do anything specifically to take care of Lin Yuan at the expense of giving up the opportunity to refine the core of the treasured land.

However, in trivial choices, he still intended to lean a bit toward Lin Yuan.

"Is that the newly born first-rate treasured land?"

Lin Yuan looked into the distance at the winding mountain range, where the power of time was chaotic, and a vast world was faintly revealed.

Every first-rate treasured land was located in a relatively opposite space-time, and only after nurturing the first batch of rare treasures would it connect with the outside world, which was the so-called birth of a treasured land.

"The cores of a first-rate treasured land are roughly between one hundred and two hundred. These cores fuse with the treasured land itself, making it very difficult to find them in a short time."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Therefore, among the twelve Celestials dispatched by the various Ancient Countries, at least a few are adept at searching for the 'cores'."

Among the twelve Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, Hengyang Celestial was skilled in searching methods.

"Let's wait a moment; we can go in once the Celestials from the other Ancient Countries arrive."

Chiyan Celestial glanced at a few distant locations where the space-time was slightly distorted, clearly indicating the presence of Celestials from other Ancient Countries.

"After entering the treasured land, you should disperse as much as possible to search for its 'cores'. Once found, immediately notify me and Guanglie."

Chiyan Celestial exhorted. Discovering the 'core' of the treasured land was not the end; the most important thing was to refine and guard it, which required strength.

The Chaos path evolved by Guanglie Celestial was special, possessing thirty-three Clones, and the strength of each Clone was close to the true body itself, making him the most suitable Celestial to guard the 'cores' of the treasured land.

After finishing, Chiyan Celestial sat cross-legged, and the other Celestials did the same.

Lin Yuan separated a wisp of his divine mind to remotely monitor the new treasured land in the distance, while using his remaining mental energy to Cultivate and comprehend the Dao.

The twelve Celestials of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom were also waiting patiently. The leading Celestial was named Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable, whose strength was terrifying; he was an extremely ancient Celestial of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

At this moment, the eyes of Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable resembled two endless, abyssal prisons, gazing far away at the winding mountain range.

The path of Chaos power evolved by Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable lay in his eyes.

The eyes of Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable were two prison worlds named Spirit Prisons. Once trapped within them, even a Peak Heavenly Venerable would be suppressed for a moment.

"Spirit Prison, how do you feel? Are you confident?"

Beside Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable, Spirit Sense Celestial Venerable asked.

"It is still too early to talk about confidence," Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable shook his head. "The Celestials of the Da Fu Ancient Kingdom have not yet arrived."

Da Fu Ancient Kingdom was also one of the Six Ancient Kingdoms. Unlike the other five Ancient Kingdoms, Da Fu Ancient Kingdom was the first Ancient Kingdom born in this Origin World, and the Great Fush Ancestor was also the first Time Lifeform.

The foundation of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom was unfathomable. Among the five Thirteenth Order ancestors of the five Ancient Kingdoms, two of them came from Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

On the surface, the Six Ancient Kingdoms of the Origin World fought with one another, but in reality, Da Fu Ancient Kingdom was the most transcendent.

Aside from the Great Fush Ancestor, it was even more because the Heavenly Venerable level Experts of this Ancient Kingdom were simply too terrifying.

Whether in terms of quantity or strength, they surpassed the other Ancient Kingdoms.

"Da Fu Ancient Kingdom." Spirit Sense Celestial Venerable also felt the pressure.

He understood what Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable meant.

If Da Fu Ancient Kingdom dispatched those strongest Celestials over, Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable naturally did not have much confidence.

"It's just that apart from Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, you shouldn't have any problems with the other four Ancient Kingdoms, right, Spirit Prison?" Spirit Sense Celestial Venerable continued to ask.

"The other four Ancient Kingdoms."

Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable glanced at the respective locations of the Celestials from the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, Thunder Ancient Kingdom, and Barbaric Ancient Kingdom, without speaking.

If categorized according to past combat achievements, Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable would naturally be confident.

However, in competing for a first-rate treasured land, all Ancient Kingdoms would basically employ some foundational lethal weapons, and there was no upper limit to this.

On the side of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

The twelve Peak Heavenly Venerables silently observed the Heavenly Venerable level Experts of the other Ancient Kingdoms.

"The Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom actually dispatched Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable? This is indeed very tricky." Supreme Yin Celestial's gaze was solemn as he looked at the location of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom.

Among the top Peak Heavenly Venerables of the major Ancient Countries, Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable was definitely one of the most troublesome.

It was not to say how strong Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's killing power was, but rather that his pair of eyes could trap Experts at the Peak Heavenly Venerable level.

Such a method was nothing out of the ordinary usually; with the strength of a Peak Heavenly Venerable, even if trapped, they could break out again, merely wasting a bit of time.

But within the treasured land, that was precisely the amount of time required to routinely refine the 'core' of the treasured land.

Imagine a Peak Heavenly Venerable who had finally discovered a treasured land 'core' and was just about to refine it.

As a result, they were pulled into the Spirit Prisons within Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable's eyes, and by the time they fought their way out, the treasured land 'core' had long been completely refined.

The numerous Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom would also have rushed over to guard it.

It was definitely exceptionally suffocating.

"Those two Spirit Prisons of Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable are indeed troublesome, but they are not untreatable. Even if we let him take people in, how many of the seventy or eighty Peak Heavenly Venerables from the Six Ancient Kingdoms can he take in? Is he really not afraid of being bloated to the point of bursting?"

Earth Yin Celestial Venerable spoke.

Among the twelve Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom this time, there were four who could be called top Peak Heavenly Venerables: Supreme Yin Celestial, Earth Yin Celestial Venerable, and two others.

"We still need to pay more attention."

Supreme Yin Celestial said, no matter what, Spirit Prison Celestial Venerable was definitely one of the hardest to deal with among the many top Peak Heavenly Venerables.

Thunder Ancient Kingdom.

Being one of the Six Ancient Kingdoms, the Experts of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom were essentially born from thunder. The Thunder Ancestor was rumored to be the first lifeform in this Origin World to attain sentience through thunder.

Later, he was taken as a Disciple by the Great Fush Ancestor, ultimately stepping into the Thirteenth Order and opening up the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.

"In this competition for the treasured land, if possible, we will naturally take down this treasured land. If we cannot take it down, we will secretly help Da Fu Ancient Kingdom take it down."

The leading top Peak Heavenly Venerable of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom said.

Da Fu Ancient Kingdom and Thunder Ancient Kingdom had a close relationship. Although the Thunder Ancestor broke away from Da Fu Ancient Kingdom to open up the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, his origins and ties with Da Fu Ancient Kingdom were never severed.

"No problem."

The remaining Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom nodded.

The competition for the treasured land had a limit of two thousand years. After two thousand years, whoever refined the most treasured land 'cores' would obtain the ruling power of the treasured land.

If the treasured land 'cores' ultimately refined by the Thunder Ancient Kingdom were too few to even squeeze into the top three, they would secretly transfer the treasured land 'cores' to the Celestials of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

Doing so could also be considered a way to recover losses; at least Da Fu Ancient Kingdom would not accept the treasured land 'cores' for nothing.

In fact, it was not only the Thunder Ancient Kingdom that would do this. Once other Ancient Kingdoms found that the treasured land 'cores' they refined had no possibility of competing for first place, they would also sell off the treasured land cores at various 'prices'.

It was just that because the Thunder Ancient Kingdom had a close relationship with Da Fu Ancient Kingdom, they would prioritize selling to Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

"I wonder which Celestials Da Fu Ancient Kingdom will send this time?" The leading Celestial of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom glanced around. Now, the Celestials of the five Ancient Kingdoms had all arrived, leaving only Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

Barbaric Ancient Kingdom.

Twelve tall figures stood there, causing space-time to slightly annihilate.

"Among the Six Ancient Kingdoms, Da Fu Ancient Kingdom has the most first-rate treasured lands."

The leading top Peak Heavenly Venerable looked around, "And our Barbaric Ancient Kingdom occupies the fewest first-rate treasured lands, only a little over a dozen."

The rare treasures produced by first-rate treasured lands were of great use to Celestials. Occupying more first-rate treasured lands might not seem to have a big impact in the short term, but viewed over a long timeline, the impact was immense.

Why was the overall strength of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom's Celestials the strongest? And their quantity the most?

Was it because of the Great Fush Ancestor? Unless major events occurred, the ancestors of the Six Ancient Kingdoms rarely intervened.

The Ancient Kingdom ancestors had basically left behind various Legacy secret techniques and opportunities for attachment, and aside from that, there wasn't much difference.

The history of Da Fu Ancient Kingdom was the most ancient, and naturally more Celestials were born. This was indeed one reason, but not the primary reason.

The reason why Da Fu Ancient Kingdom was so prosperous was because it occupied the most treasured lands, especially first-rate treasured lands. Da Fu Ancient Kingdom occupied close to a third of the first-rate treasured lands in this Origin World.

Occupying so many first-rate treasured lands that were of great use to Celestials, it would be difficult for Da Fu Ancient Kingdom not to be prosperous.

"Therefore—"

The leading top Peak Heavenly Venerable of the Barbaric Ancient Kingdom continued to speak: "Our Barbaric Ancient Kingdom is determined to win this newly born first-rate treasured land."

Up to now, wanting to obtain a new treasured land required launching a full-scale war against other Ancient Kingdoms and conquering the area where the other party's first-rate treasured land was located.

Only then could one naturally obtain the ruling power of the corresponding first-rate treasured land.

But this was too difficult.

A full-scale war between Ancient Kingdoms could be large or small.

If small, it would only dispatch a few Heavenly Venerable level Experts, and both sides would just clash slightly;

at most involving the gain and loss of dozens or hundreds of major domains.

As for a large-scale full-scale war, it was extremely terrifying. Celestials, Peak Heavenly Venerables, and even top Peak Heavenly Venerables would successively make their moves, absolutely capable of shattering the heavens and earth.

Compared to such a full-scale war, this competition for the newly born first-rate treasured land was much milder.

At least there was a time limit of only two thousand years, and the Peak Heavenly Venerables involved were only twelve per Ancient Kingdom.

Most importantly, the competition for a first-rate treasured land depended not only on strength but also on luck. If your luck was good and you searched casually, you could find a whole bunch of treasured land 'cores'.

Besides luck, financial resources were also required.

For example, at the final moment of competing for the treasured land, when other Ancient Kingdoms saw that the treasured land 'cores' they refined had no hope of competing for first place, they would 'dump' the treasured land cores. At this time, as long as you could afford the price, you could completely buy them over.

As long as the Barbaric Ancient Kingdom could afford the price, there was still a great possibility of capturing this first-rate treasured land.

Of course, even if one could purchase treasured land 'cores' through financial resources, they would certainly want to obtain as many treasured land 'cores' by themselves as possible, so that the price paid would be minimized.

Although the Barbaric Ancient Kingdom desired this newly born first-rate treasured land, they were not foolish.

Hum!

Just as the numerous Peak Heavenly Venerables of the five Ancient Kingdoms were patiently waiting to enter the treasured land, a space-time fluctuation suddenly came rushing over quickly, causing all the Peak Heavenly Venerables to look toward the source of the fluctuation.

"What is that?" Lin Yuan also opened his eyes. Currently, the Peak Heavenly Venerables of the five Ancient Kingdoms had all arrived, leaving only the most mysterious Da Fu Ancient Kingdom.

Space-time rippled and dispersed in all directions like ripples.

Twelve figures were seen stepping out from the depths of space-time. Leading them was a man dressed in dark robes. He stood there quietly without emitting the slightest aura, yet he suppressed the eleven Peak Heavenly Venerables behind him.

It was as if this dark-robed man was the center of this space-time, and all other existences were supporting roles, existing in attachment to the dark-robed man.

"So strong." Lin Yuan was secretly shocked. This dark-robed man actually gave him a feeling similar to the Moyu Tower Master.

Of course, he could not be compared to Your Majesty Xuan Huang. The Your Majesty Xuan Huang that Lin Yuan last saw had forcibly broken free from the time loop, equivalent to taking half a step toward the Thirteenth Order on the basis of the Twelfth Order.

"The strength of an Invincible Great Saint?" Lin Yuan speculated inwardly.

Whether it was Chiyan Celestial, Guanglie Celestial, Hengyang Celestial, or several top Peak Heavenly Venerables of other Ancient Kingdoms, they were only close to an Invincible Great Saint, but this dark-robed man was definitely an Invincible Great Saint.

The Invincible Great Saint here referred to the Invincible Great Saint of the Chaos Void.

As for in this Origin World? He probably couldn't be considered an Invincible Celestial Venerable yet.

After all, under the nourishment of the many Thirteenth Order ancestors, there were definitely more than one Celestial at the level of Invincible Great Saint born in the major Ancient Kingdoms. Since there was more than one, it couldn't be considered invincible.

"Hahaha, everyone, my Da Fu Ancient Kingdom has arrived late, please forgive us." The dark-robed man smiled slightly and spoke to the Peak Heavenly Venerables of the other five Ancient Kingdoms.

His voice seemed to have an inexplicable infectivity, giving the casual Great Sovereigns who were cautiously observing from further away an illusion that their thoughts were being distorted.

Meanwhile, the Peak Heavenly Venerables of Ancient Kingdoms such as the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, Barbaric Ancient Kingdom, and Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom furrowed their brows slightly.

"Is that Celestial Venerable Fu Xu?"

"Celestial Venerable Fu Xu's strength is above that of the top Peak Heavenly Venerables. Does Da Fu Ancient Kingdom value the treasured land very much this time?"

"Didn't they say that Celestial Venerable Fu Xu was already preparing to impact that step? Why has he come out?"

One top Peak Heavenly Venerable after another instantly felt the pressure, especially the Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Barbaric Ancient Kingdom. They were determined to win the first-rate treasured land, but facing Celestial Venerable Fu Xu?

Although they could eventually pay a price to buy the treasured land 'cores' refined by other Ancient Kingdoms, what if the gap in the final quantity of treasured land 'cores' was too large?

For example, if the treasured land 'cores' of the remaining five Ancient Kingdoms combined could not compare to just another family, then such an action would naturally be meaningless.

"There's no need to feel pressured."

Chiyan Celestial glanced at the remaining Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom. "Celestial Venerable Fu Xu is indeed very strong, but we do not lack a glimmer of a chance."

In order to compete for this first-rate treasured land this time, the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom had indeed made him bring out some foundational lethal weapons, enough to contend with Celestial Venerable Fu Xu.

Even if Celestial Venerable Fu Xu had similar methods, the other four Ancient Kingdoms could not possibly watch him run amok, and driven by necessity, they would certainly unite to resist.

"Let's go."

Chiyan Celestial waited for a moment, then immediately led Lin Yuan and the other Peak Heavenly Venerables toward the winding mountain range.
