Chapter 702 - Wu Guangyu

Du Jiu glared at Long Chen before he left. Shao Yu looked at Long Chen apologetically before leaving too.

Long Chen was unfazed. He was going to reject Shao Yu’s invitation to begin with. He ignored Du Jiu’s scorn. Since Du Jiu was the leader of the group, Long Chen was certain that he was at least at the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage or above, which would make him stronger than Feng Xuan. He was not someone Long Chen could fight now.

Long Chen remained silent after Shao Yu left. After struggling for the past year, he had calmed down a lot. He knew what kinds of opponents were the strongest, and he yearned to become as strong as them.

As Shao Yu had said, the starplate was indeed slowing down. Everyone was buzzing with anticipation because they were about to reach the Ancient Graveyard.

The starplate had been flying for a very long time, and no one knew where the Ancient Graveyard was located. Long Chen had only heard that the Ancient Graveyard encapsulated the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, but that was still being disputed.

Regardless, he now sensed the existence of the Ancient Graveyard.

In front of him was the outline of a massive land. Long Chen thought it was just a mirage.

He then realized that rather than a mirage, it was a blinding light. The Ancient Graveyard was located in the light. The starplate crashed into the light, and Long Chen closed his eyes instinctively. When he opened them again, he saw that the starplate beneath him had disappeared.

Since everyone was at the Earthly Martial Realm, all of them managed to land safely. They immediately scattered as they explored the new world.

Long Chen was stunned by what he saw.

This is the Ancient Graveyard? It was much different than the barren land that he had imagined. Long Chen had landed in a lush forest where songbirds were abundant. The plants were growing everywhere, as if there hadn\'t been anyone here for a very long time.

This was not the graveyard that Long Chen had expected.

Is this really the place where countless cultivators were buried?

Those who were here for the first time were taken back by the scenery.

Long Chen never expected the Ancient Graveyard to be so beautiful. Nature’s spiritual Qi was also much denser here. While the Divine Martial Empire was rich in Earthly Qi, the Ancient Graveyard was filled with numerous kinds of Qi, including Life Qi.

“Is this really the Ancient Graveyard?”

“I thought it would be filled with tombstones!”

“I thought so too!”

“I think only those that have managed to escape the Ancient Graveyard before, especially those from the Nine Great Clans, know about this place.”

Everyone discussed what they were seeing.

The Ancient Graveyard was a place of strife, where everyone would kill each other for treasures. After taking in the scenery, they quickly put up their guard and looked at each other warily.

The place was filled with people, and no one knew where to go. Suddenly, the people from the Nine Great Clans flew away. They glared at each other before flying in different directions.

The others followed suit. The Ancient Graveyard was filled with treasure, but that didn’t mean everyone would get one. Those who were late wouldn’t get anything. They scattered and quickly searched for valuables. Many of them were clueless about the place and didn’t know which way to go, so they followed one of the three factions.

Ten thousand people had somehow scattered into different directions without killing each other. When Long Chen saw that everyone had left, he knew he couldn’t stay here any longer. He chose a random direction, where the forest was very dense. There were a lot of demonic beasts around, but most of them couldn’t harm Long Chen and the others. The location where the starplate had landed was most likely the safest place.

Everyone had left the area, leaving only Long Chen alone.

He stopped and let Xiaolang out. Xiaolang was his sworn brother, and he didn’t want to coop him up in the Primordial Realm forever.

“Big Brother, is this the Ancient Graveyard? Why is it so pretty?” Xiaolang was shocked too.

Long Chen sighed. “I don’t know why either. I thought it would be barren like the Nine Spirit Purgatory.”

Right when he said that, Xiaolang sensed something was wrong and frowned. “Big Brother, someone is flying towards us! The fire energy is very strong too!”

“What?!” Long Chen was shocked.

He had just reached the Ancient Graveyard. Except for Shao Yu, no one had taken notice of him. So why was someone approaching them? Was Xiaolang wrong?

***

In the Divine clan group, the mysterious patriarch and her son were leading the way when he stopped.

“What’s wrong, Guangyu?” the patriarch asked in a soft voice.

The young master extended his arm and showed her the green jade bracelet on his wrist. “Mother, didn’t you tell me that the treasure of the Azure Lotus Lord was of a fire-attribute? The Azure Lotus Bracelet should get warmer if we get close to the tomb, but why is it becoming warmer now?”

The patriarch touched the bracelet and was shocked. “It is indeed warm, but this shouldn’t be the place where the inheritance of the Azure Lotus Lord is located. Maybe there’s an incredible fire-attributed treasure or a demonic beast?”

“Then it must be some kind of treasure for it to become warm. Mother, wait here. I will go and find it. It would be great if we could find another treasure. Maybe I’ll get lucky today,” Wu Guangyu said coyly like a child.

“Alright, but be safe. We will wait for you here.” The patriarch loved him so much that she allowed him to go, but she also ordered for some guards to protect him from the back. The others waited with her for their return.

Wu Guangyu probably won’t take too long.

“Are they really coming towards us?” Long Chen was shocked by the person’s speed. Xiaolang had detected it when they were fairly close. Long Chen used Sight and saw that a lot of people were already within one Li of them. The person at the front was so strong that Long Chen couldn’t even determine his strength. The others were strong as well. There were also many others following them to see what was going on.

Everyone was confused as to why the young master of the Divine clan was running so fast, so they followed him. They thought that a treasure was about to appear if the Divine clan’s young master was making haste.

Even if they didn’t get the treasure, they wanted to see if it would help them increase their knowledge of this place.

Wu Guangyu appeared in front of Long Chen in an instant. Behind him were several cultivators from the Divine clan. Behind them were hundreds of cultivators wanting to see what was going on.

They were confused as to why the young master of the Divine clan was staring at the weak Long Chen. Who was he? Why was the young master in such a hurry?

Long Chen didn’t know what the young master was trying to do, but he soon realized what was happening. He saw the young master’s eyes twinkling with desire when he looked at Xiaolang.

“To think it\'s a Sun Devouring Wolf! The legendary demonic beast that can increase its strength without limits!” He was elated! To think that the Azure Lotus Bracelet had led him to such a treasure! The Ancient Graveyard naturally would not have such a demonic beast, so he was certain that the youth beside the demonic beast had brought it in.

What luck!

Long Chen thought that Wu Guangyu was the only other person who knew so much about the Sun Devouring Wolf. He even knows that the Sun Devouring Wolf can increase its strength indefinitely!
