91: A strange space at the bottom of Qingyang Lake!

At this time, almost a month had passed since the Beast Martial Emperor’s demise.

Those Geniuses from Holy Lands like the Divine Fist Sect who had been comprehending Legacies had also returned to their Families.

By now, all the regions where these five Holy Lands were located had the Chu Family’s banner planted, and the five domains were entirely under the Chu Family’s ownership.

Even many forces that originally belonged to the five Great Holy Sects surrendered to the Chu Family.

"It’s time to activate the Time Tower again!" Chu Jingyue said in a deep voice.

After waiting for so long, the Chu Family’s Geniuses who had been receiving Legacies in the five Great Holy Sects had returned to the Family, and many had gained a lot.

Especially Chu Zhan, who immediately went into seclusion upon his return, completely changing his usual style of constantly pulling people into battles.

Who knows what Legacy he actually obtained?

"Clan Chief, based on our calculations of the essence stones during this period, we are fully capable of activating the sixth floor for a whole year!" Chu Hongxiao said.

"Oh? The sixth floor for a year? Doesn’t that mean 320 years inside the Time Tower?"

"Yes!"

"Good, 320 years is enough for our Chu Family’s strength to enter a new realm!" Chu Jingyue said excitedly.

Now, their Chu Family had everything ready; they only lacked time!

With these 320 years, their Chu Family’s strength would definitely increase significantly, and perhaps even Emperor-level powerhouses would emerge.

"Immediately send out the notification, the Time Tower will open soon!"

"All Dragon Guardians must participate, and other members will be chosen based on merit!" Chu Jingyue immediately issued the order.

"It’s just that the Old Ancestor is still nowhere to be seen!"

"The Old Ancestor is the most hopeful among all of us to achieve the Martial Emperor realm. If he is not present for this activation, it would truly be a great regret!" Chu Hongxiao said with a frown.

"What? The Old Ancestor is still nowhere to be seen after all this time?" Chu Jingyue was surprised.

Logically, the Old Ancestor should either be in the Dragon Emperor Palace or in seclusion.

How could he be missing?

"Where did the Old Ancestor go?" Chu Jingyue frowned, then said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll go ask the Beast God! See if he knows the Old Ancestor’s whereabouts!"

If the Old Ancestor really went on a long journey without even them knowing, then perhaps only the Beast God would know!

Inside the Dragon Emperor Palace, after listening to Chu Jingyue’s inquiry, Long Yuan said, "I only know that on the day the Hell Gate Martial Emperor descended, Chu Tianyang seemed to have entered Qingyang Lake.

What? He still hasn’t come out?"

At that time, Long Yuan had been observing everything outside Qingyang City, only roughly sensing Chu Tianyang’s location, but he wasn’t clear about what exactly he was doing.

After all, besides Chu Long, Long Yuan rarely paid attention to anyone else!

"Qingyang Lake? What is the Old Ancestor doing in Qingyang Lake?" Chu Jingyue asked strangely.

"I’m not sure, but since he hasn’t appeared for so long, let’s go down and take a look!" Long Yuan’s massive body began to shrink, eventually becoming a few zhang long.

He entered Qingyang Lake with Chu Jingyue.

The area around Qingyang Lake was usually sparsely populated, as everyone knew that the Demon Emperor of the Chu Family was hidden in the thunderclouds above.

As soon as they entered the lake, the two discovered a barrier portal.

"How... how can there be a barrier here?" Chu Jingyue looked at the silver portal in surprise.

Qingyang Lake was so close to their Chu Family, yet they didn’t know there was such a secret here?

"It should have been opened by your Old Ancestor!" Long Yuan did not hesitate and stepped directly into the silver portal.

Beyond the portal was a vast, decaying world, with various ancient, incomplete Spiritual Artifacts scattered haphazardly on the ground.

The earth was also full of ravines, and even the air was filled with the aura of years, like an ancient battlefield.

"Hiss, there’s such a vast spatial world here?" Chu Jingyue was stunned.

So, they had always been living above a spatial world?

Long Yuan’s Divine Sense swept across this space and instantly found Chu Tianyang.

"Let’s go!" He took Chu Jingyue and disappeared from their original spot, reappearing at a certain location within this spatial world.

"This... Old Ancestor!" Seeing Chu Tianyang, Chu Jingyue was greatly alarmed.

His Old Ancestor was actually lying there, covered in injuries, with Sword Qi constantly leaving new wounds on his body.

Chu Jingyue tried to approach, but he felt an unparalleled destructive force that seemed capable of annihilating everything, scaring him to the core!

"Beast God, what happened to the Old Ancestor?" Chu Jingyue asked anxiously.

"He was injured by the Sword Qi remaining here!" Long Yuan struck with a claw, and the surrounding Sword Qi immediately exploded and dissipated.

Chu Jingyue quickly stepped forward and helped the Old Ancestor up.

"This is an ancient battlefield. Even after endless years, there are still some terrifying killing Qi that haven’t dissipated!"

"Your Old Ancestor mistakenly entered this dangerous place!" This battlefield was somewhat similar to the ruins of the Cloud Soaring Sect, but the hidden dangers here were much more terrifying!

Because there were definitely attacks left behind by powerhouses beyond the Divine-Grade, meaning a Divine War once erupted here!

Long Yuan looked at the unconscious Chu Tianyang and pointed a finger at his glabella.

Immediately, several streams of Sword Qi shot out from his glabella.

"Fortunately, the hidden killing power here has been greatly diminished by the erosion of years. Although it caused him severe injuries, at least he won’t die!" Long Yuan said indifferently.

"Alas, how could the Old Ancestor be so careless, daring to directly venture into such a dangerous place? I think he’s gotten overconfident!" Chu Jingyue sighed, quickly giving the Old Ancestor a Medicinal Pill to take.

Such a dangerous matter, how could he not inform the Beast God?

If it weren’t for the Time Tower opening, the Old Ancestor might really have perished here!

"I think you little brat are asking for a beating!" Chu Tianyang’s weak voice came out.

When he first entered, he hadn’t discovered the hidden dangers here at all, and his Divine Sense hadn’t detected anything either.

He accidentally stepped into the dangerous place, and by the time he realized it, it was already too late!

"How did you discover this place?" Long Yuan asked curiously.

He had been in the thunderclouds for so long, yet he hadn’t discovered this place!

"Does the Beast God remember the token found on the Ma Family Old Ancestor back then?" Chu Tianyang told Long Yuan about his discovery of the token’s secret.

"Only by injecting energy on a full moon night can the token change, so afterward, I followed the token’s guidance and came here!" Chu Jingyue said, "Could it be that the Ma Family Old Ancestor discovered this place, which caused their Ma Family’s foundation to suddenly surge?"

"That’s right, the Ma Family Old Ancestor must have picked up some scraps in the peripheral area, which gave the Ma Family a chance to rise!"

"No wonder, no wonder he insisted on eliminating our two Families. He must have been worried about the secret of this spatial world being leaked!" Chu Jingyue suddenly realized.

Only if the Ma Family completely occupied the original Qingyang Town could they unscrupulously plunder the Legacies from this ruin.

"Heh heh, but even if they had truly annihilated our two Families back then, with the Ma Family’s strength, if they dared to go deeper, they would only face death!" Chu Tianyang sneered.

As they delved deeper, the various hidden killing powers became too terrifying.

With the Ma Family’s strength at that time, once they touched the hidden dangers, they would be helpless.
