I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 476
Chapter 476: Mobilization of the Most Powerful Cultivators on the Continent
Those who hadn’t received a spot on the roster to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm were all teleported away.
There were thirty-six people, five of which were Return to Void Stage, while the remaining thirty-one were Soul Formation Stage.
Emperor Ziwei tossed a teleportation talisman to each of them. “The Ancient Tai Chu Realm is only open for a month. Once the time is up, the teleportation talismans will teleport you back to the Heavenly Court.”
Thirty-five of the thirty-six remaining cultivators received silver teleportation talisman, while An Lin received a big, thick, golden teleportation talisman, which instantly made him the center of attention.
An Lin: “…”
Why was his talisman golden?
As if to answer the question in everyone’s hearts, Emperor Ziwei explained with a smile, “An Lin has a special mission, so I’ve given him a teleportation talisman that can be instantly activated at any moment. Remember, prioritize your life above all else.”
His words hung in the air, and everyone could read between the lines.
Emperor Ziwei didn’t mince his words, and his words were clearly hinting at something.
For some of the cultivators present who had some inside information or had entered the Ancient Tai Chu Realm five hundred years ago, their expressions were even more shocked than everyone else’s. They knew just how special a place the Ancient Tai Chu Realm was, and how there was only one cultivator that was presented with the golden teleportation talisman each time the Ancient Tai Chu Realm was opened. The person who usually received this talisman was usually the team leader of the Return to Void Stage cultivators, and this was the first time it had been presented to a Soul Formation cultivator.
An Lin suddenly discovered that everyone’s expressions changed when they looked at him. Yang Ruoling, in particular, was staring at him with an expression filled with scorching heat and beseechment…
He really wanted to raise his head to the skies and let loose a roar. He had been assigned this talisman due to his abilities, not because he was a backdoor entrant!
An Lin silently stowed away the golden teleportation talisman. This was the only thing that could give him a hint of warmth at a time like this.
During the next period of time, Emperor Ziwei introduced to everyone the situation within the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.
This was information that had been bought with the blood of their predecessors, and An Lin felt more and more petrified as he listened.
Bizarre environments, twisted spaces, terrifying creatures, chaotic laws…
And they had to constantly be wary of the threat posed by the other forces on Tai Chu Continent…
When they were lucky, there were only a few people who died in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.
When their luck wasn’t that great… mass extinction was often the result.
In those situations, everyone died, regardless of whether they were Soul Formation Stage or Return to Void Stage. Furthermore, no one even knew how they died because there was no one alive who could bring that information back!
However, there were still many people who longed to set foot into such a dangerous realm, not only for the respective powers they represented but also for themselves. There were opportunities there that would allow them to progress to Dao Integration Stage; this notion alone was enough to drive everyone insane!
An Lin had to collect a Stardust Fruit from the Huge Starry Mountain, which was apparently a mysterious mountain that would constantly change its location according to the alignment of the stars. Hence, even Emperor Ziwei was unable to determine its exact location. This was something that An Lin would have to do, while Emperor Ziwei could only do things like providing him with an Illusionary Star Robe as well as an image to show him what the Stardust Fruit looked like…
Time passed by slowly.
An Lin contacted Xu Xiaolan and the others via voice transmission talismans to inform them of the situation as well as to communicate the fact that he would be away for a month.
The time at which the passageway toward the ancient realm was supposed to open soon arrive.
A mighty force enveloped everyone and the space around them shifted, after which they found themselves in a dim secret chamber.
At the center of the secret chamber, there were two gates glowing with golden light—one big, one small. However, there was a pressure flowing from the gates that gave everyone a sense of asphyxiation.
“Return to Void Stage cultivators, please enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm via the large golden gate. Soul Formation Stage cultivators, please enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm via the small golden gate. After entering the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, your locations will be at random. Please remember that there are representatives from sixteen powers within the ancient realm. Aside from the Buddhist Kingdom, the Garden of Eden, the Hall of Creation, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas, the North Cang Mountain Realm, and the Spirit Lake Realm, all the other powers are your enemies!”
Emperor Ziwei’s words caused a stir among everyone present.
Within the ancient realm, it was quite common for representatives of opposing forces to fight over mystic treasures. Hence, their enemies were not just limited to the living beings native to the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, but also the representatives from all the other powers.
“God bless the human race, I will be praying for your safe return!” Emperor Ziwei spoke slowly.
Lü Dongbin smiled lightly as he stepped through the golden gate with his white robes flowing around him.
Everyone followed his example and began stepping through the gates one by one.
“Student An Lin, please do look after yourself!” Wang Xuanzhan patted An Lin’s shoulder before walking through the golden gate.
“You too, Senior Student Wang.”
An Lin took a deep breath before walking into the golden gate himself…
…
Within an icy palace in the Holy Glacial Lands, two golden spatial gates were exuding brilliant light.
High Priestess Meng Zhi faced the twenty-three snow maidens before her, three of whom were Holy Palace Leaders and the remaining twenty of whom were Soul Formation Stage snow maidens.
“Palace Leaders, please remember that your goal is to obtain fragments of the realm core at all costs, we no longer have any alternatives…
“As for the snow maidens going into the Ancient Divine Division, your mission is to help Shangguan Yi reach the summit of the Heavenly Snow Mountain to awaken her Ice Matriarch spiritual aura, even if it costs you your lives!”
All twenty-three snow maidens bowed and replied in unison, “I understand!”
Shangguan Yi’s face remained expressionless as she looked at the golden spatial gates before her.
Her features were exquisitely beautiful; she seemed to have fused together with heaven and earth, which gave her an ethereal aura.
“Then please enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.” Meng Zhi pointed her divine staff at the two spatial gates, which then began to ripple with a soft glow.
A Return to Void Stage Holy Palace Leader led the way into a spatial gate, only for the light to suddenly fracture before her eyes.
A fearsome power knocked the Holy Palace Leader flying.
“Puah!” The Holy Palace Leader vomited blood as she flew into the air.
At the same time, the golden light began to ripple violently.
“The spatial passageway is becoming extremely unstable, and there’s a risk of collapse! I’ll use my divine power to stabilize it! Enter through the gates as fast as you can!” Meng Zhi’s expression shifted as she pointed her divine staff at the two golden gates, from which boundless divine power poured forth.
All the snow maidens heeded her instructions and flew into the golden gates in quick succession.
After all the snow maidens had entered through the spatial gates, both of them began to collapse.
An extremely terrifying force of backlash swept toward Meng Zhi.
Meng Zhi was knocked flying into the air, and her body crashed through the walls of the palace before flying through the air in a streak of light for over fifty kilometers while blue blood trickled from the corners of her lips.
“I can only wait for the spatial passageways to reopen in a month now…
“Who would have thought that there would even be a mishap with the spatial gates… The Holy Glacial Lands have been rife with disasters and calamities of late… Is our fortune finally coming to an end… ”
Meng Zhi stared at the vast expanse of snow and ice around her as she heaved a light, forlorn sigh.
…
Atop a certain inky black floating continent on Tai Chu Continent.
The Dark Wing Emperor clasped his hands behind his back as he surveyed the Dark Wing Tribe cultivators kneeling before him.
“Seventeen people… seventeen people…
“We have spots available for three Return to Void Stage and fifteen Soul Formation Stage cultivators. I told you to put your names forward, and you end up f*cking one person short?!
“Aside from all the Monarchs on missions, are all our Return to Void Stage cultivators that scared of dying?!”
The Dark Wing Emperor’s voice was imbued with divine might, and the clouds began to surge in the air above as divine lightning burst forth.
All the Dark Wing Tribe cultivators lowered their heads in silence. None of the Return to Void Stage cultivators dared to step forward.
Dark Wing Emperor: “…”
…
Within the Void Spirit Realm, under a twisted, five-colored sky, two golden gates were glowing with a brilliant light.
An invisible being said with a depraved voice, “Kukuku… go forth. Kill all the living beings inside, all the souls of the living beings there are extremely tasty… ”
Six Return to Void Stage and forty Soul Formation spirit bodies twisted their diverse and bizarre bodies as they made their way toward the golden spatial gates with sinister smiles on their faces…
…
The Dark Marshlands, the West Sea, the East Sea, the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, the Western Paradise, the Holy Paradise, the Realm of Creation, the North Cang Mountain Realm, the Spirit Lake Realm, the Western Heavenly Dragon Forest, the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, the Kingdom of the Nine States, the Dark Floating Continent, the Holy Glacial Lands, the Void Spirit Realm, and the Demon Realm…
All the most powerful cultivators from the sixteen ancient powers began to enter the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, thereby heralding the beginning of a free-for-all battle of epic proportions.
