Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 358 The Desolate Domain Opens, Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road!

The following night, Gu Jiancheng spent the entire night in his room cultivating by consuming holy crystals.

However, time was short, and by the next morning, Gu Jiancheng was still unable to reach the bottleneck of the Ascension Realm.

Gu Jiancheng was not in a hurry. Being only half-step immortal was enough to deal with the initial stage of the Eight Desolate Domains.

It wasn't until morning that the Lord of the Dao Palace returned to his residence and led everyone to the central square of Jiuli City.

"I have heard about your situation, and I imagine you have also heard about the other four forces that were assigned to Jiuli City this time."

On the way, the Lord of the Dao Palace said in a deep voice: "The Eight Desolate Domains are very large, with a total of eight regions, each of which is divided into three sub-regions. After entering the entrance of Jiuli City, you will find yourself in one of the sub-regions."

"Only by finding the entrance to the next area can we continue our journey."

"Before this, only the experts from the Thousand Star Tower and the cultivators from the Asking Heaven Pavilion had entered it; it was completely unfamiliar to the Hundred Races."

"I don't know what will happen, but it will definitely be a dog-eat-dog world. I don't ask you to achieve great things, just winning over a small area will be enough!"

"Master, don't worry, we have Jian Cheng, we can handle it easily!" Feng Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Remember, there's always something beyond our reach!"

The Lord of Dao Palace shook his head, then looked at Gu Jiancheng and said earnestly, "The future of Dao Palace rests on your shoulders."

"Take this; it could save your life in a critical moment!"

As he spoke, he handed a jade pendant to Gu Jiancheng.

Gu Jiancheng stared intently and discovered that the jade pendant was entirely blood red.

It also contains a strange magic array that envelops a ball of energy.

This energy is extremely strong, possibly even exceeding the level of the fifth stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

But the power of this jade pendant seems to extend beyond that.

But Gu Jiancheng still needs time to study the effects carefully.

"it is good!"

But Gu Jiancheng remained calm and put the jade pendant away.

At this moment, everyone arrived at the central square.

Around the plaza, in addition to the younger generation of cultivators from the five major powers, a considerable number of cultivators from various races had also gathered.

Gu Jiancheng was among them when he saw Song Qingshu.

At this moment, there were also many experts at the Immortal Ascension Realm around him, who appeared to be rogue cultivators.

"Good luck, Brother Gu! We'll throw you a welcome-back party when you get out!"

Song Qingshu transmitted his voice to Gu Jiancheng.

"it is good!"

Gu Jiancheng nodded from afar.

But at this moment, Gu Jiancheng also suddenly felt many cold gazes directed at him, filled with killing intent.

Gu Jiancheng looked over and discovered that it was Shui Yuntian and Jin Zhe who were there.

These two were humiliated by him yesterday, and now that they've entered the Eight Desolate Domain, he naturally won't let them off the hook.

But Gu Jiancheng just chuckled and ignored him.

But besides these gazes, Gu Jiancheng always felt a mysterious gaze fixed on him.

He suddenly turned around and looked at the Thousand Star Tower in the distance.

That gaze came from the top of the Thousand Stars Building!

It must be that mysterious woman.

hum!

At this moment, the palace masters of the five major forces all stepped forward, each taking out a Heaven-Asking Token and opening the entrance to the Eight Desolate Domain in the center of the square.

Those who have qualified from the five major forces may enter!

"If your bone age exceeds the limit, you will be eliminated by the Eight Desolate Domain if you enter!"

"Anyone who trespasses will die!"

The palace masters of the five major forces shouted in unison.

Any cultivator who attempts to infiltrate will be eliminated by the restrictions of the Wentian Pavilion.

Even if someone can be brought inside using a spatial artifact, once exposed within the Eight Desolate Domains, death is the only outcome.

"Hmph, Gu Jiancheng, I'll be waiting for you in the Eight Desolate Domains!"

Jin Zhe glared at Gu Jiancheng from afar, then led hundreds of Jin Clan cultivators into the entrance.

In his eyes, Gu Jiancheng was doomed to die.

Shui Yuntian merely glanced coldly at Gu Jiancheng, her expression filled with resentment.

But since Gu Jiancheng was so reckless, he actually offended Jin Zhe.

Then he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; Gu Jiancheng would be doomed!

Only a few dozen cultivators from the Supreme Holy Dao Palace entered the Eight Desolate Domain last.

The battle of a hundred races has officially begun!

hum!

At this moment, a stone tablet slowly rose in front of the square.

At this moment, countless points of light appeared on the stone tablet, and at the very top was a beam of light formed from a crimson glow.

The light represents the gate to the Eighth District. Whichever faction's cultivators are the first to enter the Eighth District will determine the outcome of the Nine Li City betting.

At the same time, the Hundred Races Prodigy Ranking suspended in the sky will be constantly updated in real time. Once you enter the Eight Desolate Domain, your combat strength cannot be hidden or disguised.

One of the main purposes of the Hundred Races' prodigies entering the Eight Desolate Domains is to refresh the Prodigy Ranking and strive to achieve a good ranking.

"Brother Gu, my wealth and glory all depend on you!"

At this moment, Song Qingshu also began to feel nervous.

He spent the entire night borrowing money from various places, but he still dared not touch the high-interest loans from Qianxinglou.

The cultivation resources available in the following years depended on Gu Jiancheng's performance.

"Palace Master of the Holy Palace, I didn't realize that your Dao Palace is so mediocre, yet your disciples are so arrogant!"

"Dare to provoke my Jin Clan? Once he enters the Eight Desolate Domain, no one will be able to protect him!"

"Once this battle of the hundred races ends, my Jin clan wouldn't mind incorporating your Dao Palace into our territory. My clan is currently lacking a place to raise demonic beasts!"

At this moment, the leader of the Jin Clan suddenly grinned maliciously in the square.

At yesterday's auction, Gu Jiancheng actually used the Holy Crystal to humiliate Jin Zhe, which also made the Jin Clan lose face.

The Jin clan has always been vengeful, and the lives of the disciples of the Supreme Saint Dao Palace alone cannot quell their anger.

A place where demonic beasts are raised!?

The words of this Jin Clan leader truly showed that he didn't regard the Supreme Holy Dao Palace as human beings.

"Haha, really?"

"I think your four clans are unworthy of their names. After the hundred clans have fought, I will visit each of you one by one to see if your ancestral gates are strong enough!"

But to the surprise of all cultivators, the Lord of the Dao Palace not only didn't back down, but seemed to disregard even the other three races!

The Supreme Holy Palace ranks last among the Hundred Clans, but when did it become so arrogant?

Gu Jiancheng is one, and so is the Lord of this Dao Palace!?

In an instant, all four clan leaders turned their gazes toward the Lord of the Dao Palace, their killing intent sharp as a blade!

hum!

Meanwhile, Gu Jiancheng and the others had already arrived in the Eight Desolate Domain.

The scene before my eyes was a vast desert, like a boundless yellow sea.

Although the spiritual energy in the air was abundant, the power of the laws was even more violent than that of the Outer Heavens.

Even the divine senses of the crowd could not extend too far, even within the Cloud and Water Melody.

There might be an opportunity here!?

It looks like a barren and desolate place!

People even began to doubt whether this was really the so-called Eight Desolate Domain.

"My master once said that the Eight Desolate Domains were originally forbidden zones for life in ancient times, so its current state is understandable, isn't it?"

Feng Ruoxi said, however.

“Ruoxi is right, and the Eight Desolate Regions are vast, so opportunities are not so easy to find,” Yunshuiyao said with a smile.

But at this moment, only Gu Jiancheng remained silent.

His divine sense could disregard the laws here, and his near-profound level allowed his divine sense to spread continuously.

"The mystery lies not on the surface of this desert, but beneath our feet!" Gu Jiancheng suddenly said.

"Underfoot!?"

Everyone was stunned.

At this moment, there seemed to be nothing beneath their feet except for the scorching yellow sand.

"Well, but we still need to deal with some odds and ends first."

Gu Jiancheng nodded, then sneered.

hum!

Sure enough, shortly after Gu Jiancheng's voice fell, a series of whooshing sounds suddenly arose in the distance.

Amidst the surging yellow sand, hundreds of cultivators appeared before Gu Jiancheng and his group in the next moment.

But when everyone saw the faces of these cultivators, they couldn't help but laugh.

As luck would have it, the ones who came to us were none other than the aquatic cultivators led by Shui Yuntian!
