Chapter 285 The Holy King's Pursuit, the Terrifying Power of the Fixed Character Secret!
When Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao arrived at the Tianwaitian stronghold, they found that there were still very few cultivators inside.
After making some inquiries, Gu Jiancheng and his companion learned that the battle between the Dao Palace and the Tianyou Battle Palace had become increasingly fierce.
Almost all the cultivators were fighting on the front lines.
Within the stronghold, there were only a small number of Dao Palace cultivators who had retreated from the front lines to rest and recuperate.
In addition, the passageways to the four main hall strongholds have been fully opened, allowing any disciple to freely access any location in front of them.
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng also quickly took out his identity token and glanced at the list.
Upon closer inspection, I was quite taken aback.
Only then did he realize that Yang Jian and Li Nezha had both been promoted to the Tian Shu Palace, and their rankings were about to break into the top fifty.
Although Lei Wanqing and Lei Tong were among them, their rankings of merit were only outside the top 100.
The inheritance that Yang Jian and Li Nezha received in the Outer Heaven was so powerful that their combat strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and the Lei brothers can no longer catch up with them.
However, in the current Tianxuan Palace, the top spot is actually held by Yuan Da.
In just seven days, Yuan Da surged to the top of the Tianxuan Palace rankings, only 300,000 points away from a million contribution points.
This speed is even faster than before.
Moreover, the Jiang siblings and Xiao Ziyan followed closely behind, with their achievements being quite similar.
The top spots on the entire Tianxuan Ranking were almost entirely dominated by disciples of the Taiji Sect, leaving disciples from other regions far behind.
"Hehe, look, this list shows that they're in a good position in this outer heaven!" Yun Shuiyao laughed.
The tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind; the Dao Palace family will not let them off the hook.
But Gu Jiancheng shook his head.
Apart from Tianxuan Palace, the lists of Tianshu, Tianheng, and Tianquan Palace are almost entirely dominated by Dao Palace families.
The competition within the Heavenly Palace seemed even more intense.
Jiang Tianchen, who was originally at the top of the list, has now been replaced by Ji Lingchen!
On his way here, Gu Jiancheng also learned from Yun Shuiyao that Ji Lingchen had become a Saint King during his tribulation when he opened the tenth level.
In just seven days, Ji Lingchen climbed to the top of the rankings, demonstrating his terrifying power.
However, Jiang Tianchen and the other two top prodigies did not give up. It is said that they broke through their realms one after another and advanced to become Saint Kings in the past three months.
Among them, Feng Ruoxi only took one month to develop her Saint King foundation into a second-level Saint King, almost transforming it into a third-level one. This also made Feng Ruoxi the second-ranked Saint King after Ji Lingchen.
It took Tianchen two months, while Shen Tulu took less than three months to break through to the Saint King realm the day before the great battle began.
Thus, the four strongest prodigies of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace have all reached the cultivation level of a Saint King.
The merits of the four individuals on the list are naturally quite similar.
Ji Lingchen has enormous potential, and it probably won't be long before he completely leaves the other three behind.
"No wonder the lightning tribulation energy was so pure that day; it turns out it was Ji Lingchen undergoing tribulation." Gu Jiancheng sneered.
“That’s right. I also heard from Senior Shangguan Lin that the Ji family had been preparing for this for a long time, but because you also activated the tenth layer of the formation, the energy leaked out, causing Ji Lingchen’s tribulation to not reach the expected level, thus affecting his Saint King foundation.” Yun Shuiyao also laughed at this moment.
“Then he can only blame his bad luck.” Gu Jiancheng shrugged, then asked, “If that’s not enough, then Ji Lingchen will be furious.”
"Yes."
Yun Shuiyao nodded, but the next moment, both of their expressions suddenly changed.
Gu Jiancheng ruined the Ji family's plans, so how could the Ji family let it go?
If they can't wait for him to arrive at Tianwaitian, then the Ji family might very well take action against the Taiji Sect disciples!
"Let me see where they are now!"
Immediately, Yunshuiyao quickly took out a jade pendant.
This item was left to Yun Shuiyao by Shangguan Lin when he entered the Outer Heaven. Even within the Outer Heaven, their location can be seen.
"It is indeed very far, but the good news is that they are all still together!" Yun Shuiyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the disappearing light spots on the jade pendant gather together.
"To avoid any unforeseen complications, let's go and meet up with them!"
Gu Jiancheng had a bad feeling. He took the jade pendant and let Yun Shuiyao enter the Langhuan Space. Then he rushed out of the Tianxuan Palace stronghold and headed straight for the Taiji Sect disciples.
Although Shangguan Lin would naturally protect the Taiji Sect disciples, Gu Jiancheng was not entirely at ease with the power behind Shangguan Lin.
After all, he had made far too many enemies.
Therefore, he must find the Taiji Sect members as soon as possible before he can feel at ease.
However, shortly after Gu Jiancheng left the stronghold, his expression suddenly changed.
His body suddenly stopped in place, no longer moving forward.
"What's wrong?" Yun Shuiyao asked, frowning, inside the Langhuan Space.
"Heh, it seems they have indeed started making their move."
Gu Jiancheng let out a cold laugh, and the energy within his dantian began to surge.
"Them? You mean, someone is hunting us down?"
Yun Shuiyao's beautiful eyes flickered, and then she exclaimed in surprise, "My divine sense didn't detect anything. Could it be that he's at the Saint King Realm?!"
"Haha, that's right!"
"A Saint King realm expert has come to hunt them down; it's just unknown whose enemy they are!"
Gu Jiancheng grinned maliciously.
Although his cultivation has not yet transcended the tribulation and entered the Saint Realm, his divine sense has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past three months, becoming extremely sensitive.
In addition, he had secretly set up an ancient restriction in the void on his way here, so that once someone enters the restricted area, he will be able to detect them.
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng raised his hand, and the ancient restriction reappeared. He instantly disappeared from his spot, as if he had completely merged into the void.
Sure enough, just a few breaths later, the space behind them tore open, and an old man walked out.
He was surrounded by the halo of a Saint King, and although there was only one, it still proved that he was a true first-order Saint King!
"strangeness!"
"That brat's aura was still there just now, how could he suddenly disappear without a trace?"
"They escaped right under my nose?"
The holy king spread his divine sense, but still found nothing, so he couldn't help but curse.
But before he could move into the void again, Gu Jiancheng's cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Are you looking for me?"
"Who!?" The Holy King was immediately shocked and turned around to look behind him.
The sound appeared strangely and abruptly.
But when he saw Gu Jiancheng step out of the void, his eyes widened even more.
"Gu Jiancheng!?"
"Impossible! How did you manage to evade my divine sense?"
This was utterly unbelievable to him. He had clearly used his divine sense to carefully examine the surroundings, but he hadn't found anything!
How did Gu Jiancheng conceal his figure and aura?
The Holy King's gaze was fixed on Gu Jiancheng, and he discovered that Gu Jiancheng still had not broken through to the Saint Realm!
A junior at the half-step Saint Realm can appear so casually before a Saint King Realm expert like him!?
How could he not be shocked and furious?
"Heh, he's just a dying man, why is he spouting so much nonsense?!"
But Gu Jiancheng grinned maliciously.
The reason he concealed his presence and aura beforehand was simply to see what level of Saint King was chasing after him.
Upon seeing that this person was merely an ordinary first-tier Saint King, Gu Jiancheng naturally lost all restraint.
Perfect, I'll use this person to test my current supernatural abilities and combat strength, and see just how they are.
After all, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth!
"presumptuous!"
"I am an elder of the Xu family. You are about to die and you still don't know it?!"
The old man, the Holy King, immediately flew into a rage.
How dare a mere junior at the half-step Saint Realm be so arrogant in front of me!?
Who gave him the courage?!
"Oh, so you're the Holy King of the Xu family." Gu Jiancheng sneered.
He had assumed that the Ji family would be the ones capable of mobilizing Saint King level experts to hunt him down.
"Now that you know, then die!"
"This is the price you have to pay for provoking the Xu family!"
The Holy King was furious. Unable to bear it any longer, he raised his hand and unleashed his Holy King's pressure. The power of the laws was like molten lava, scorching the heavens, and pressed down on Gu Jiancheng!
In his view, killing Gu Jiancheng was no different from crushing an ant.
In just three breaths, he could kill Gu Jiancheng and wash away the great humiliation suffered by the Xu family!
"The Secret of Dingzi!"
"seal up!"
Gu Jiancheng stood in the void, completely unperturbed. As soon as he opened his mouth, an ancient divine radiance suddenly burst forth in his eyes.
A terrifying and ancient energy burst forth instantly, freezing the Xu family's Saint King and his divine powers in mid-air.
Even the power of laws seemed to be sealed off.
"No, that's impossible!"
"What kind of supernatural power is this!?"
At this moment, the Holy King of the Xu family was even more shocked.
But he couldn't utter a single word, and his expression was frozen in fury.
Couldn't move at all.
As an elder of a prominent family, he had cultivated in the Dao Palace since childhood, yet he had never heard of such supernatural powers.
"Hehe, as expected of one of the Six Secrets of the Ancient Gods!"
Gu Jiancheng was overjoyed to see this.
With only a half-step Saint Realm cultivation level, he was able to seal a first-order Saint King.
He was very satisfied with the effect of this "fixed character secret"!
