33: Zhang Taigu Divine Dynasty Imperial City

Immortal Lingyun, there is no need to worry. This is the escort fee my Ruiyang is giving you!

Ye Qingcheng blinked her big eyes, revealing a mysterious smile.

Seeing Ye Qingcheng's appearance, Immortal Lingyun felt an inexplicable panic in her heart, sensing some kind of conspiracy.

"Forget it, I'll just consider it a loan..."

An unprecedented light appeared in the depths of Immortal Lingyun's eyes, and she muttered to herself.

Although she was born into a Hidden Family, there were many Disciples in the clan. High-quality resources would be prioritized for the Great Emperor's sons and daughters. For someone like her, the allocated resources were extremely limited.

Moreover, if ordinary clan members obtained any heavenly materials and earthly treasures outside and the Family found out, they might be confiscated.

This was also the reason why she left her Family and joined a Holy Land.

Now, the Ancient Sacred Body herbs Lin Ruiyang gave her were worth more than the sum of all the resources she had obtained from her Family in her life.

Just then, Immortal Lingyun found a jade bottle in the ring. Driven by curiosity, she took it out and gently opened the lid...

"Bang!"

A majestic Aura instantly permeated from the jade bottle, filling the entire room.

Immortal Lingyun felt that all the flesh and blood in her body were boiling at this moment, filled with infinite longing for the energy in the jade bottle.

"This is... thousand-year spirit marrow liquid!"

Immortal Lingyun's hand holding the jade bottle trembled, her eyes filled with shock and excitement.

Such a precious item might not even be available to those long-living families. Moreover, this item is something one encounters by chance and cannot be sought after; it cannot be bought with money.

Today, she not only got it, but Lin Ruiyang also gave it to her for free.

At this moment, she even suspected whether Lin Ruiyang was interested in her, otherwise, why would he give such a precious gift?

Immortal Lingyun's lips curved slightly upward. If that were the case, she seemed to be truly unable to resist...

"Hmph, if you want to be my husband, wait until your strength is stronger than mine..."

Immortal Lingyun snorted softly, and a blush instantly appeared on her stunning face.

At this moment, she didn't care that Ye Qingcheng was still watching from the side and directly put the ring on her finger.

...

On the other side, after twenty days of traveling, Lin Ruiyang and Jiang Yueyao finally arrived at the black mountain range where the Taigu Divine Dynasty was located.

The palace complex ahead looked like an imperial city, with dark red city walls all around protected by extremely terrifying Formations.

Only the four majestic gates to the east, west, north, and south were open. Inside the city walls, intermittent sounds of metal clashing could be heard, likely from people fighting over treasures.

"What terrifying power!"

Jiang Yueyao looked at the crushed mountain range beneath the palace complex, a sense of awe rising in her heart.

"In the past, the Divine Lord of the Taigu Divine Dynasty should have been a great Emperor Realm expert! This is the imperial city, and the Ancient God Temple is also within it!"

Lin Ruiyang's gaze swept over the magnificent buildings, but he was not in a hurry to approach.

Before long, the two arrived at the East Gate. As soon as they got close, a strong smell of blood rushed towards them, making their hearts tremble.

On both sides of the gate, several strange and ferocious-looking beasts were crouching.

Although they were just stone sculptures, they exuded an astonishing Aura. As soon as one got close, their Divine Soul would experience a tearing pain.

"What a strange imperial city. Why, after so many years, can the stone sculptures still exude such terrifying Aura!"

Feeling the pain in her Divine Soul, Jiang Yueyao was greatly startled and immediately became vigilant.

Entering the imperial city, the two were dazzled along the way because spiritual herbs grew everywhere, and spiritual fruit trees were ubiquitous.

Unfortunately, spiritual herbs older than a thousand years had been picked clean, and not a single spiritual fruit remained.

"It seems that even if as strong as the Taigu Divine Dynasty, it will eventually return to nature!"

Looking at the wild grass and fruit trees all over the ground, Lin Ruiyang couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

Soon, booming sounds rose one after another. Many people were fighting fiercely for treasures.

Where Lin Ruiyang and the others passed, there were not many high-value items left.

"Daodian, how dare you attack the people of our Supreme Pavilion!"

Not long after, a wailing sound suddenly came from the front.

"Hahaha... A mere Supreme Pavilion dares to covet this young master's treasure!"

Then came Daodian's cold laughter. With his powerful combat strength, he made too many people helpless. Whenever a rare treasure appeared, it would be subjected to Daodian's ruthless snatching.

At this time, Lin Ruiyang also noticed Li Yiran's figure. Compared to Daodian, she was much more reserved.

When she encountered a treasure she liked, she would first negotiate with you before making a move to snatch it.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ruiyang was stunned. Was this still the Li Yiran he knew?

When Li Yiran was with him, she wasn't exactly a docile girl, but she wasn't like a 'road-blocking bandit' devil either. How did she become like this here?

Indeed, the prettier a woman is, the better she is at disguising herself! Fortunately, he, Lin Ruiyang, encountered her and finally saw the other side of this girl.

However, since Daodian appeared here, it meant that Ye Chen had escaped danger.

He wondered how this so-called Children of Destiny was doing now. He missed him quite a bit.

"Yueyao, let's explore for treasures separately! If anything happens, send me a message immediately! Do not conflict with people from the Donghua Holy Land!"

Lin Ruiyang thought for a moment and finally said to Jiang Yueyao.

He wanted to obtain the greatest Opportunity in the Secret Realm by himself. Having someone follow him would make things difficult.

"Alright then, you must be extra careful!"

Jiang Yueyao had a slight smile on her lips, then immediately turned around and flew in the opposite direction from where Daodian was.

Along the way, Jiang Yueyao walked and stopped, not participating in the treasure hunt, but instead searching for those peculiar artistic conceptions, making rubbings of them to study after returning to the Holy Land.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ruiyang finally felt relieved. His figure flickered, and he swept towards a direction where few people had been.

"Senior Brother Daodian, I think I just saw the Taichu Holy Son and Saintess!"

The moment Lin Ruiyang left, a Disciple of the Donghua Holy Land looked over here and said with a puzzled expression.

"Did you see that Ye Chen?"

"No, I only saw Jiang Yueyao and Lin Ruiyang!"

"If it were Ye Chen, this young master would still be somewhat interested. After all, an Ancient Sacred Body is capable of defeating a great emperor! As for the others, they are not worth mentioning!"

Daodian followed the gaze of the Disciple from earlier and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Saying that, he flashed and swept towards a precious seal suspended in the void. The long sword in his hand immediately swung towards those who were snatching the precious seal, sending them flying everywhere.

"Everyone stop, that's mine!"

Daodian shouted loudly, and his large hand directly grabbed the precious seal, instantly putting it into his spatial Magic Treasure.

Those who were sent flying had gloomy faces and gnashed their teeth, as if someone owed them millions.

...

On the other side, after three days and three nights of flying, Lin Ruiyang finally arrived at a platform built of white jade.

The view here was wide, and endless white clouds were swirling around, as if he had arrived in the sky.

However, the glittering mountain peak in front told the world that this was not in the sky; the surrounding white clouds were merely a naturally formed anomaly.

"Young Master Lin, the Ancient God Temple is on the top of this mountain!"

Just then, an ethereal and beautiful voice came from behind him.
