Chapter 333 All Parties Appear

The middle-aged man in white spoke slowly.

His voice was hoarse, like grating metal, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time:

"This time, I want to know if that person is still alive!"

The giant turtle was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly after a while:

"I can give you an accurate answer!"

"But are you sure you want to ask this question? This is your last question. After today, I will never appear in this world again!"

The middle-aged man nodded.

The giant turtle spoke in a deep voice:

"Very well! Then I will tell you, he is indeed still alive!"

"As a bonus for our transaction, I can give you a piece of information!"

"The original nine positions will have great variables because of the person you mentioned and the existence of three others. In the end, only three people will break through for Ascension!"

"As for the thing you have always been pursuing, you will have to strive for it yourself!"

After speaking, the giant turtle's head and limbs retracted into its shell, and it slowly sank to the bottom of the water. With its disappearance, the Qujiang River surged and roared once again, flowing mightily.

"Three people..."

The middle-aged man in black and the middle-aged man in green robes looked at each other, somewhat confused by the meaning.

The middle-aged man in black was the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

He was skilled in observing celestial phenomena and proficient in deduction, but he could not accurately predict specific matters involving the overall trend of the world. Once he forced a deduction, it would even cause a backlash from the Heavenly Tribulation.

But this giant turtle seemed completely unaffected.

Knowing three thousand years into the past and five hundred years into the future—perhaps this is what that refers to.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Looking at the waves where the giant turtle had disappeared, the middle-aged man in green robes withdrew his gaze and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man in white paused, then said:

"Mo Xun, take your two daughters, we are setting off!"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man in green robes did not hesitate and respectfully acknowledged.

...

...

Almost at the same time, some old monsters who had been hiding in the shadows for hundreds or thousands of years, rumored to have disappeared into the dust of history, also emerged one after another, heading towards Heavenly Pillar Mountain in Ningzhou.

They had been hiding and cultivating in seclusion, waiting for this very day.

Once they ascended the Heavenly Gate, they would no longer have to worry about dying of old age or the suffering of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Qingyang Palace, Hanging Temple, Nalanda Temple, and White Deer Academy—the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism were all heading towards Ningzhou.

They were not in a hurry.

After Heavenly Pillar Mountain officially opened, the initial period was the most dangerous.

This was when the Nine Nether Qi was at its most concentrated.

Only after the most dangerous period had passed would it be the best time to enter the blessed land.

On the vast grasslands of Northern Mang, the Imperial Court was being rebuilt.

Xiao Yuanjia stood on a newly built high platform, her charming eyes gazing dimly towards Great Jin from hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Heavenly Pillar Mountain was simply too towering and boundless.

Although for ordinary people, it would be invisible from just one prefecture away, for a Heavenly Human like her with two Divine Treasuries, she could see the stone pillar that connected heaven and earth even from such a distance.

Her fair and delicate hands gently stroked her lower abdomen.

At this moment, her lower abdomen was slightly protruding; the fetus was developing, though it was not yet obvious.

Xiao Yuanjia looked somber and sighed:

"Oh baby, your father has abandoned us!"

"He wants to ascend the Heavenly Gate alone, go to the Upper Realm to achieve Immortal Ascension and become an ancestor, and seek pleasure with the fairies of the Upper Realm. Tell me, what should Mother do?"

At this moment, for Xiao Yuanjia, she had many hidden worries in her heart.

Once Yan Chu left, leaving her alone, other clans and tribes would inevitably become restless, and they would likely not be willing to accept her rule.

Of course, this was not the most important thing.

Among the major clans in Northern Mang today, the remaining Heavenly Humans mostly had only one Divine Treasury opened; only Pu Cha Shou could compare to her and Xiao Sidao.

However, there were still remnants of the Luan Di Clan.

The Left Worthy King and two tribal elders—any one of them was not weaker than her, plus the High Priest. If they came back, they would never let her off easily.

Yan Chu was leaving at such a bad time!

Her child had not yet grown up.

"Sister~"

Behind her, Xiao Nanxu, with sorrow in her eyes, called out softly. Xiao Yuanjia turned around and said:

"I am going to enter seclusion in Chilie Mountain now!"

"Unless the sky falls, no one is to disturb me!"

She wanted to use this window of time to break through to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown level in the shortest possible time.

Only in this way could she have the power to protect herself after Yan Chu broke through for Ascension.

It seems no man can be relied upon!

Only by relying on oneself can one survive in this cruel world.

...

...

In Cangzhou Prefecture, Yan Chu held Shen Zuirong and landed slowly.

"What is that?"

Shen Zuirong looked at the huge pillar in shock, the flush on her cheeks had not yet faded, and she was stunningly beautiful.

"That is Heavenly Pillar Mountain!"

Yan Chu explained to her slowly:

"Once you ascend Heavenly Pillar Mountain, you can become an immortal!"

Then, he recounted the matter of Heavenly Pillar Mountain and the Breakthrough for Ascension.

Shen Zuirong listened quietly. As she listened, her face turned paler, and the light in her eyes flickered uncertainly:

"So, you are leaving tonight, and I will never see you again, is that it?"

Although she had guessed that this day would come sooner or later.

After all, Yan Chu's cultivation speed was too fast, and such a speed had never appeared in the entire Jianghu.

As long as one was a person of the Jianghu, they had all heard more or less about the legend of breaking through for Ascension, even if they didn't know the details clearly.

But hearing it with her own ears still made her feel shocked.

Especially since this person was her own bedfellow.

One second they were still entangled in intense intimacy, and the next second they might never see each other again, separated forever by the boundary between heaven and man.

Shen Zuirong's mood immediately sank.

Yan Chu could naturally feel the emotional change of the other party deeply; in fact, Han Yunlu, Su Zhirou, and other women all had similar expressions.

He comforted her with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm just going to join the fun first. It's uncertain whether I can break through the boundary!"

"Besides, even if I ascend, with my cultivation speed, I will be able to rise quickly even in the Upper Realm. When I sweep through the Upper Realm, I will definitely come down to take you all up for Ascension!"

Shen Zuirong did not feel better because of these two sentences.

However, she could not change what Yan Chu had decided.

He had stepped onto the path of Jianghu, and his ultimate goal was to become the strongest, to achieve longevity, and he would not stop for anyone.

Yan Chu bid farewell to Shen Zuirong. Breaking through the night in her glistening eyes, he stepped towards Ningzhou.

Cangzhou Prefecture was only ten thousand miles away from the Heavenly Palace of Ningzhou. With Yan Chu's current speed, he had arrived in just a moment.

Meng Ao and the others were constantly paying attention to the situation around them, and they discovered Yan Chu and came up to meet him at the first opportunity.

"Great Khan, you are here!"

Meng Ao and the others called out with joy on their faces, and at the same time, they felt relieved.

They were really worried that Yan Chu would be entangled by something and unable to arrive in time.

After all, such a major event would not be easy for anyone to deal with.

At this moment, the thick clouds in front had dispersed, and what came into view was a hazy scene, as if space had been severed from the world where they were.

Although they could see the huge pillar above.

It felt as if it were hundreds of thousands of miles away.
