Chapter 226: As a Suspended Lineage, Why Don't You Bow to Me? (8k1) (Part 2)

Instead, some of the strong individuals around her began scanning the Spirit Realm, searching for the one who had spoken in secret.

Heaven's Sun Lord said, "The Heavenly Mechanism Technique is indeed profound and unparalleled, capable of even concealing the Ancient Road's Will."

The returned Great Crimson Heaven Lord, Gutan Tian, and the Crimson Heaven Lord, Qi Yunfei, stood in the air, hands behind their backs, gazing at the young man in the water curtain projection ahead.

Everyone held their breath, focusing their minds. Not only were Long Qingyang and the others present, but the disciples of the Jin Clan had also gathered.

"Jiang Tunhai, Sapo... That's Xuan Yuwei from the Beast Sea?! She wasn't half-wasted, how is she standing here?"

"Look, do you see the one in front?"

For warriors above the Heavenly Realm, a place like the Heavenly Road, which internally contains countless fragmented planes, is like an endless treasure trove.

Suddenly, a rift opened before him, and a young man slowly emerged from it. He raised his hand to cover his mouth, coughing lightly, and blood flowed from it.

Mu Qing suddenly transmitted a sound, and a branch blossomed with fiery red light, piercing through the void and forming a passage to the Spirit Realm.

Countdown Initiated—

They had all heard about Gutan Tian's recent bold words regarding the Dark Sea's strong warriors.

These words instantly revealed a blind spot to everyone.

Not long after, Lu Tong arrived from afar: "Brother Qingyang, I'm late!"

"It's fine, my good-for-nothing son didn't die on the Ancient Road. He managed to reach the second stage."

Upon entering the Heavenly Realm, the warriors of the Nine Continents would roam various realms, broadening their horizons and seeking opportunities for enlightenment.

Shen Mengyou casually said, "To achieve eternal existence, one must pay a price. The ancient consciousness of the Heavenly Emperor's strong warriors is intertwined, merged with the last fragmented heavens of the Heavenly Emperor. To transform into a heavenly being, one must abide by the laws of heaven and earth. If one violates these laws, they will immediately fall."

Under the blood-colored sky, a figure stood tall, like an insurmountable mountain or a pillar amidst the turbulent sea.

These individuals either restrained their auras or allowed their unrestrained energy to overflow.

Although it hadn't reached the level of their ancestors' Destiny Veins, they could still sense certain "major events."

Xuan Yuwei's heart trembled as she witnessed the disguised infiltrator.

"The enemy is not weak. Be careful, everyone." Feng Wu said, "Let's gather and stick together first. This is a team battle, and we must prioritize our side."

...

"Hmm, we can prepare before entering." The warrior behind them smiled, "Rest assured, both of you."

"He's out!"

Someone sighed, "Let's think positively. He's now on our side. If I'm not mistaken, that kid, at a critical moment, paid a certain price to alter a part of the Heavenly Mechanism Technique."

"This is the Ancient Battlefield, just as the Elder predicted. The heavenly mechanisms are in chaos, and the Dao rules have been largely erased."

At this moment.

The powerful beings who had followed Ji Anquan fell silent.

Chang Ming's expression changed.

For example, Feng Wu from their Nine Palaces, Jiang Tunhai from Hunter God Corporation, and Sapo from the Celestial Race...

This scene captured the attention of all the warriors in this realm. Everyone's expressions turned solemn as they gazed at the spectacle, unsure of what it was. At that moment, they had no way back, as the teleportation had already begun and couldn't be interrupted!

Rule One: Kill an enemy warrior, earn one point. Accumulate one hundred points to gain the qualification to challenge the Ten Thousand Year Monument.

"Hmph, what else could they do? They're trying to divide our younger generation, using the Heavenly Mechanism Technique to screen and select opponents, creating an advantage. As expected, they're colluding with the scum from the Heavenly Mechanism Realm!"

Long Qingyang's expression stirred, "Has Elder Gu returned?"

Long Qingyang gave him a curious glance, his demeanor calm and relaxed, as if wondering what was so surprising.

And now, another name was added to the list—Shi Xinqian.

Previously, when the young warriors from the Federation were allowed to enter the Netherworld early, a similar technique was used.

He looked coldly at the bald man and took a step forward.

On all the water curtain projections, warriors who were originally chatting, meditating, or calming themselves suddenly stood up in unison, their eyes sharp and focused, locking onto the gate ahead.

"It depends on what effect this Heavenly Mechanism Technique was originally designed for. With the key parts deleted and altered, it's highly likely that the effect will be the opposite of its original intent, creating a clash."

The scene of warriors fighting without a word was the norm.

"Brother Gu, where's your nephew?" A loud voice called out from the distance, belonging to a warrior from the Tongtian Colosseum.

These words drew the attention of many powerful warriors.

Didn't the Heavenly Mechanism Technique choose the most suitable and highest probability of victory for them?!

After entering the Ancient Road, this guy hadn't stepped out of the Federation's stronghold since the early days! They wondered if he was planning to give up on martial arts and stop honing his skills altogether.

"Not only that, there's also a Great Dao rune for Heavenly Mechanism interference. What are they trying to do?!"

In the depths of the wilderness, spatial rifts appeared one after another, and teams of people emerged from them, quickly occupying the best vantage points in the surroundings.

The Heavenly Road officially entered its second phase! As a rift gate slowly opened.

"Yue Huan from the Moon Ring, Lin Jiaye from the Eternal Night Kingdom... They are all peerless geniuses of the forbidden!"

Gutan smiled and said, "My nephew, isn't he being surrounded by your disciples and followers?"

He wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled gently, "The Ji family, Ji Anquan."

And at that moment.

With a single palm strike, he didn't even have the strength to struggle, his life force severed. He knelt down, his knees touching the ground, in a posture of kneeling towards the front.

"To be completely reduced to the residual consciousness of the Heavenly Rules is truly 'fair' in a terrifying way. But it's also because of this 'fairness' that those above dare to let us enter here and borrow this path."

After hearing Ji Jingqiu's summary of his glorious days, Shi Xinqian couldn't help but clench his fists, gritting his teeth, "Damn it! For the past nine months, I've lived in hell every day, and I'm still being outdone by this guy!"

Shen Mengyou smiled brightly, with a playful tone,

Mu Qing focused her mind, using her mental power to sketch out Ji Jingqiu's appearance and name.

Lu Tong's eyes narrowed, and among the crowd surrounding Ji Jingqiu, he spotted some familiar figures.

Upon seeing this person, Yao Heshan's pupils constricted, and he subconsciously transmitted a message to Long Qingyang, "Is this a Master?"

Moreover, Yao Heshan believed that the Federation had greater potential, and the Nine Continents Spirit Realm couldn't compare.

As the water curtain projections changed.

Chang Ming said, "This is the achievement of the powerful ones above, we dare not take credit for it."

Tian Yangjun lightly replied,

And this bird, about to spread its wings and fly high, used Ji Jingqiu as its "eye."

Although everyone believed that with Ji Jingqiu's strength, there wouldn't be any accidents, no one could guarantee that something unexpected wouldn't happen.

...

Someone murmured, their eyes fixed on Ji Anquan in the water curtain projection, feeling that the young man from the Heavenly Mechanism Realm was actually quite likable.

At this moment.

"Ji Jingqiu?"

Then, a clear figure appeared in the water curtain projection.

"Ji Anquan..."

Yao Heshan seemed deep in thought, having heard that the Spirit Realm was the transformation of an ancient deity's spiritual realm from the Heavenly Road.

"The atmosphere feels strange..." someone murmured, then suddenly slapped their thigh, "I remember now! Why are these brats getting along so harmoniously?!"

"Brother Chang, how's the preparation for the Heavenly Mechanism Chaos going?" Shen Mengyou turned and asked, her tone surprisingly polite.

【I sense the fluctuations within the Spirit Realm. It's probably the start of the second phase.】

As for Ji Anquan...

Seeing that Ji Jingqiu was still safe and sound, with a vibrant and confident gaze, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone looked at the elder from the Hunting God Company and said with a smile, "Old man Jiang, your boy must have developed feelings with a divine maiden from the Divine Race on the Ancient Road. Why does it feel like there's something odd between them?"

The elder from the Hunting God Company was also puzzled, his mind filled with doubts.

"It's indeed a hunting battle."

The brilliant light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the heavenly curtain. At this moment, the cloud vortex hung low, and the heavenly mechanism was in motion!

In his ears, a grand and indifferent question echoed.

"As expected, he's the descendant of that guy, most skilled in the art of turning a small effort into a mighty force!"

He finally broke free from the mental interference, letting out a furious roar, but it was completely suppressed by a palm strike. His heart and gallbladder shattered, and the golden body he had cultivated for decades was crushed under the other's hand. With a tremor, his legs knelt involuntarily, and the white bones pierced through his skin, making a chilling sound as his bones cracked.

Tian Yangjun could only regretfully think that he wasn't qualified to sit at the table and share in the spoils of this grand event.

In the Spirit Realm, powerful beings from various factions conversed in hushed tones.

If it weren't for the presence of Mu Qing, Lu Tong would have already urged them to hurry up and project Ji Jingqiu's portrait.

[The trial this time is a team battle.]



When he heard the words 'Heavenly Mechanism Realm,' his expression became somewhat peculiar.

At this very moment...

"This depends on the coordination of the opposing team." Chang Ming looked towards Shen Mengyou and smiled, "I heard that the Four Gods have already made their moves in the four war zones?"

Xuan Youwei, hidden among the thousands of people, took a deep breath and quietly activated the Great Dao rune engraved deep within her heart by the Second God Lord.

For all the influential forces, the second stage of the Ancient Road was always a crucial moment.

They needed to observe the outstanding young generation, decide whom to recruit in advance, or... eliminate them! And this time, there was a difference compared to previous years.

Suddenly, someone spoke up.

Chang Ming slowly revealed a smile, indicating that their side would have the upper hand from the start!

"Paying respects to Senior Mu," he first bowed respectfully to Mu Qing.

[Rule 2: Entry locations are random. To exit the trial, you must remain silent and meditate for ten breaths during a non-combat state.]



"It's begun," Ji Jingqiu said abruptly.

"It's Jingqiu..."

A narrow void rift appeared, tearing through the dimensions, like a vast canyon before their eyes.

He shook his head, not intending to interfere in their relationship, but with the battle about to start, he didn't want any internal conflicts, so he temporarily stopped them from fighting.

[Rule 4: The participant with the highest trial points will be granted additional Ancient Road origins.]



If they were to follow the generational order, that Great Crimson Heaven Lord was a powerhouse of the same generation as He Shuai. In Lu Tong's version, his senior brother had once fought with He Shuai on the Ancient Road and later became close friends after their encounter.

Yue Youcong slightly lifted her head, pointing towards a place where numerous Taboo experts gathered, "The person you've been thinking about, Ji Jingqiu, is being surrounded by his loyal subordinates."

They all seemed to be led by Ji Jingqiu!...

At this critical moment, the positions of these young experts spoke volumes.

The one standing before him was none other than a bald man, holding a string of Buddhist beads, towering in stature, with his eyes lowered, looking down at him as if he were a turtle in a jar, ready to be manipulated at will.

"All the expected participants have arrived, and there are also many unfamiliar faces, probably from the Southern Wilderness Continent and the Green Continent, right?"

Shen Mengyou's eyes flashed, and at this moment, a cold and ruthless voice echoed in the minds of countless warriors.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu, who was at the forefront, turned back and saw the smile on Ji Anquan's face, nodding slightly in response.

How despicable!

Their expressions varied; some were filled with anticipation, others were cold and indifferent, and some smiled, but their smiles were cold.

Therefore, overall advantage was crucial, and it would snowball from there! Just then...

After entering the Ancient Road, he followed the methods of his ancestral founder, staying indoors and relying on the Heavenly Mechanism Technique cultivated by other warriors of the Flame Radiant Federation. He finally sensed a trace of divine essence.

Born in the Heavenly Saint Lake, a renowned True Saint Dao Field among the Three Thousand Realms, at its peak, it was no less prestigious than the Cang Qing and Holy King lineages of the Great Universe.

But who could suppress all others and stand out alone, leading with unmatched elegance?

"The trial content has been revealed."

Chang Ming, from the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, muttered to himself, standing before a blood-colored world. He suddenly sensed something, "The plan is proceeding smoothly, the Heavenly Mechanism Chaos Array has been successfully triggered, and the insider from the Four Gods Church is doing a great job."

"That young man's smile... he looks so punchable, is it just my imagination?" someone whispered.

He turned back, taking the lead and entering the battlefield ahead.

The surrounding warriors nodded in agreement.

"I'll be leaving now." Ji Anquan said to Zhang Buzhou beside him, "You guys get ready, don't worry about me."

Other Taboo experts also possessed such a demeanor, but at this moment, they were all suppressed by Ji Anquan.

The arrogance of a lineage, looking down on everyone!

"Although the entry into the trial ground is random, under the interference of the Heavenly Mechanism, there's a mysterious fate at play. Everyone will encounter 'suitable' enemies in the trial ground and quickly gain the upper hand."

Lu Tong's eyes lit up, "This is the connection between the Spirit Realm and the Ancient Road. As long as we visualize someone's image in our minds, we can lock onto a warrior on the Ancient Road." Yao Heshan also expressed his anticipation, "I hope we can still see the figures of other young warriors from the Federation later, not seeking glory, but survival."

On the other side, there was a woman, her skin radiating divine light. She stood there, surrounded by multiple divine halos, appearing pure and untainted. She exuded an air of transcendence.

Her name was Shen Mengyou, from the Eternal Night Kingdom.

"There are four of us, and normally, we should be scattered across the four war zones."

"That guy has done so many despicable things, and he still has a future? How unfair is the Heavenly Dao!"

[Sit down, we'll soon reach the second stage of the Ancient Road. I'll use the Water Projection Technique to guide you to observe the Ancient Road trial.]



"That kid seems a bit off, is he a disciple of Gutan Tian? Which of Gutan Tian's brothers is his master?"

He asked with a smile, "Not running away?"

Looking down on everyone.

Damn it!!!

Why is it that only at night can I enter the writing zone!!!
