Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 860: Chapter 860: Gold-devouring Beetle, Red Cloud Python

”No way!”

Emperor Heimang’s face changed, he waved his hand repeatedly and said, ”The master told the five of us to wait here and did not let us enter the Thousand Desolate Ridge ahead of time, my dear brothers... please be patient!”

”Alright then!”

The Qingyue Demon Emperor sighed, looking resigned.

The master indeed did not allow them to enter the Thousand Ancient Ridge first but instructed them to wait outside.

Although the Qingyue Demon Emperor had a bad temper, he certainly did not dare to defy the master.

The Five Emperors stood in the void, gazing at the Thousand Desolate Ridge shrouded in mist, silently scrutinizing.

”No matter how many times I use my divine sense, I always feel that this Thousand Desolate Ridge is quite ordinary...”

The Qingyue Demon Emperor grinned.

”It’s not that simple!

The Thousand Desolate Ridge’s surface seems unremarkable, like any ordinary mountain range, but once you enter, you will be assailed by a terrifying force...”

Emperor Heimang’s face changed, speaking cautiously.

The Qingyue Demon Emperor was about to speak when suddenly his expression shifted as he looked in a certain direction and smiled, ”Some little fellows have arrived...”

”Just some young monks in the Nirvana Realm...”

Emperor Heimang glanced in a direction, laughing indifferently.

”The Nirvana Realm, huh, it’s been many years since I’ve last seen one!”

Emperor Chixiao remarked with emotion.

”Why, do you want to go through it all over again?”

Demon Emperor Xieshen teased.

”Better not, hahaha!”

Emperor Chixiao laughed.

The Five Emperors shared the same thoughts and in this moment, their figures merged into the void.

They didn’t want those Nirvana Realm human cultivators to see them.

Those few Nirvana Realm cultivators rushed from afar, heading straight towards the direction of the Thousand Desolate Ridge.

Emperor Heimang frowned and said, ”These little fellows, do they have a death wish?”

”Looking at their expressions, each of them is talking and laughing happily, as if they haven’t sensed the horror of the Thousand Desolate Ridge at all!”

Demon Emperor Xieshen curiously said.

”I bet they don’t even know about the Thousand Desolate Ridge, thinking it’s just an ordinary mountain range...”

The Qingyue Demon Emperor laughed.

The Demon Emperor Kuzhu’s eyes showed a hint of peculiarity as he looked at Emperor Chixiao: ”Sharing the same human lineage, don’t you want to help them?”

Emperor Chixiao’s eyes slightly narrowed, his expression indifferent, he said, ”Everyone has a different fate, even if I lend a hand this time, I can’t help every time. In this world of cultivation, it’s survival of the fittest. Without sufficient strength, how can one survive?”

”That makes sense.”

The Demon Emperor Kuzhu nodded: ”If it were the Demon Clan, I wouldn’t help either. Future generations have their ways of living, we old ones no longer belong to this era.”

”Indeed!”

The other three emperors, upon hearing these words, were moved and nodded one after another.

The few Nirvana Realm human cultivators, talking and laughing along the way, flew into the mist of the Thousand Desolate Ridge.

After they flew into the mist, nothing changed.

This scene astonished the Five Emperors immediately.

”Impossible, how are these little fellows unharmed?”

Emperor Heimang exclaimed in surprise.

”Emperor Heimang, could you have remembered the wrong place? Is this not one of the Four Absolute Lands, the Thousand Desolate Ridge?”

The Qingyue Demon Emperor questioned.

”It has been a million years; seas have changed into mulberry fields. The earth’s veins have shifted. Could the Thousand Desolate Ridge have moved to another place?”

The Demon Emperor Kuzhu pondered as he spoke.

”Impossible, the Thousand Desolate Ridge is just like it was a million years ago, without any change, how could I be wrong?”

Emperor Heimang frowned.

”If you didn’t remember wrong, then how come those Nirvana Realm human cultivators went in without a hitch? Look at them, they’ve already gone more than a dozen miles deep, without any reaction...”

The Qingyue Demon Emperor pointed in the distance and said.

Emperor Heimang silently stared at those Nirvana Realm cultivators, unable to speak for a moment.

This scene made no sense to him.

”I believe Emperor Heimang would definitely not remember wrong...”

Demon Emperor Xieshen gazed into the depths of the mist and said slowly, ”Perhaps, after a million years, the Thousand Desolate Ridge has long lost its original prowess and has become an ordinary mountain range!”

”Impossible, if it had become an ordinary mountain range, why would the master have us come here?”

Emperor Heimang flatly denied.

”Sigh! I don’t know either, let’s just wait for the master to arrive!”

Demon Emperor Xieshen laughed bitterly.

”Alright!”

The Five Emperors turned their gaze towards the misty depths again, watching as those Nirvana Realm cultivators successfully traversed the entire Thousand Desolate Ridge.

In everyone’s eyes was an expression of disbelief.

The scene before them was truly shocking.

This hell... is it really still the perilous land of Thousand Desolate Ridge?

It really doesn’t seem like it.

The Five Emperors were curious, but none of them suggested venturing into the Thousand Desolate Ridge to investigate; they all waited quietly.

...

”Gu Anran, how damned lucky you are to have such an unparalleled refining master as a senior brother!”

”Damn it, it’s really unlucky... I spent almost all my resources to create the Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill, only to find it of no use!”

”Shit! It’s truly hateful, just one step away from becoming a Demigod, yet the rhythm was disrupted by Gu Anran’s senior brother!”

Above a majestic mountain range.

A black figure emerged in the void, clenching his fists, his face twisted, cursing incessantly.

He was the God Horned Ant who had left the pavilion in the void of Piaomiao Peak.

”Who on earth is this senior brother of Gu Anran? It’s like he crawled out from the ground, I’ve never heard of him. It seems I must thoroughly investigate...”

The God Horned Ant’s expression shifted constantly, he said in a heavy tone.

A fluctuation in the void.

Two streaks of light, like lightning, broke through from afar, landing opposite the God Horned Ant.

They were two demon clan cultivators, one wearing a golden robe and the other a red robe, both looking extremely ugly, emitting a strong demonic aura.

”Friend God Horned Ant, why are you here?”

The man in the golden robe asked.

The God Horned Ant looked up, slightly surprised, hurriedly clasping his hands, politely saying, ”So it’s Friend Gold-devouring Beetle and Friend Red Cloud Python...”

The God Horned Ant was not unfamiliar with these two.

The man in the golden robe was the Gold-devouring Beetle, and the man in the red robe was the Red Cloud Python.

Both had long been renowned as Eternal Realm great demons.

These two fellows were quite familiar with both him and Gu Anran.

”Friend God Horned Ant, we just heard you saying a lot of bad things about Gu Anran, what happened?”

Red Cloud Python raised his eyebrow, quite curious and asked.

”Nothing much.”

The God Horned Ant felt depressed and didn’t want to talk about it.

”That’s odd, you have always been on good terms with Gu Anran, how come you’re suddenly saying so many bad things about her, and... when did she have a senior brother, what exactly happened?”

Gold-devouring Beetle asked repeatedly.

”Dear friends, since you’ve heard everything, what else is there for me to say?”

The God Horned Ant spread his hands, with a bitter smile on his face.

”We don’t know that much.”

Gold-devouring Beetle shook his head, looking towards the direction of Piaomiao Peak, he said: ”We only know that at the recent artifact refining conference, an extraordinary refining master appeared, overshadowing all others, and in an extremely short time, repaired Gu Anran’s Dragon-subduing Cauldron, right?”

”Yes, I didn’t expect even you two to know about this news now!”

The God Horned Ant froze for a moment, reluctantly nodding.

The relationship between him and Gu Anran was far deeper than with these two friends.

Therefore, the God Horned Ant was very clear that previously, the Gold-devouring Beetle and Red Cloud Python did not know about the Dragon-subduing Cauldron in Gu Anran’s possession.

But now, those refining masters had already left.

It’s likely that the news of Gu Anran owning a divine-level treasure has already spread within a small circle.
