124: Enter the second heaven!

“As for what's inside the stone gate, nobody knows. And while everyone was looking at this information, those two mysterious people had already entered. Even if we wanted to ask them, we couldn't find them anymore.”

“The most magical thing is that the identities of those two are extremely mysterious. With so many Emperor-level forces here, and even prodigies from Heavenly Emperor forces, not a single person recognizes them…”

“That is to say, right now, either we continue exploring this First Heaven, or we enter the stone gate to the so-called Second Heaven. And to enter the stone gate, we must pass through the stone corridor guarded by these giant stone guards…”

Lin Xuan interrupted.

He wasn't interested in the identities of the mysterious people.

It had nothing to do with him!

“That’s right, Fellow Daoist.”

The person wasn't annoyed by the interruption and nodded.

“However, I suggest Fellow Daoist gauge his own strength… Look at the Emperor Child of the Cangfeng Dynasty, the Emperor Child of the Nangong Imperial Clan, and the two Emperor Children of the Demon Clan, four top prodigies attacking together for a full ten minutes, yet they have only reached the middle of the stone corridor and it looks like they can't hold on much longer…”

Lin Xuan looked over, then nodded.

That was true.

There were a hundred giant stone guards in the entire stone corridor. Even with only the nearest dozen attacking, they were still forcing the two humans and two demons to retreat step by step, looking utterly defeated.

Soon, they could only reluctantly withdraw from the stone corridor.

“Damn it! There are just too many of them!”

The Emperor Child of the Cangfeng Dynasty, Cang Qing, who had retreated, said unwillingly.

The other Emperor Child of the Huang family, Huang Zhong, and the two from the Demon Clan also had unpleasant expressions.

They had just arrived recently and, after hearing about the situation here, ignored everyone's advice and confidently charged in.

They thought these people were exaggerating, but they didn't expect…

“Hahaha, Cang Qing, Huang Zhong, and Croc Gold, Bull Battle, do you believe it now!”

Some of the Emperor Children who had previously advised them watched them retreat in embarrassment, secretly pleased, and mocked.

Hmph! Serves them right!

“Hmph! You're not much better!”

“Exactly, same to you!”

Upon hearing this, Cang Qing and the others also retorted, unwilling to show weakness.

And just as the successors of these Emperor-level forces were looking at each other with disdain, four young men with outstanding demeanor and imposing presence suddenly appeared above them.

Three males and one female!

“That's the Emperor Daughter of the Purple Violet Emperor Palace—Qingyue Fairy!”

“And the Emperor Child of the Nangong Imperial Clan—Nangong Batian!”

Instantly, some Human Cultivators recognized the identities of two of them and exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, the Demon Clan side also recognized the identities of the other two:

“It's the Little Peng King of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan! And His Highness Yan Mie of the Flame Dragon Clan!”

Immediately, Cultivators who didn't recognize the few people were also startled.

Purple Violet Emperor Palace, Nangong Imperial Clan, Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan, Flame Dragon Clan, these were all Heavenly Emperor forces that shook the entire continent!

They were the top forces in the Southern Nether Continent, terrifying existences that could make the Central Province tremble with a single stomp of their foot!

And these four people in front of them were the successors of these four terrifying forces in this generation.

In the past, such existences were like dragons, rarely seen, but unexpectedly, four had come at once this time…

The four above didn't pay attention to the surrounding gazes.

“Qingyue, how about we challenge that stone corridor together later?”

Nangong Batian, wearing golden armor and looking imposing and tall, slightly turned his body and looked at the elegant and incredibly beautiful young girl in a green dress beside him, speaking in a gentle tone.

Nangong Batian stared directly at Qingyue Fairy, his eyes revealing strong admiration, and he waited expectantly for the young girl's response.

As the saying goes, the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is not!

Regarding Nangong Batian's question and gaze, Qingyue Fairy never looked at him, her eyes were as calm as still water, and she carried a faint sense of distance.

But Nangong Batian seemed oblivious to this.

After a long time, Qingyue Fairy slowly spoke:

“Emperor Child Nangong, please address this humble one as Emperor Daughter Qingyue.”

Then, without waiting for Nangong Batian to respond, she suggested to the two from the Demon Clan:

“The two from the Demon Clan, why don't we temporarily put aside our prejudices and challenge this stone corridor together? It will be easier for everyone.”

“After all, it takes more time with two people, and with the four of us, it will be much easier.”

“Good! We shall follow Emperor Daughter Qingyue's words.”

“This King doesn't mind.”

Hearing Qingyue Fairy's suggestion, the Little Peng King and Yan Mie did not refuse.

After all, what she said was the truth. If it were just the two of them, although they could get through, it would take a lot of time and there would be a risk of injury.

Therefore, it was better to accept her suggestion, and they weren't afraid of her playing tricks.

“Qingyue…”

Nangong Batian wanted to say something else, but Qingyue Fairy and the other two had already flown towards the stone corridor. Helplessly, he could only silently follow.

“Look quickly, Emperor Child Nangong and the others are moving!”

Nangong Batian and the others' actions instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked over.

They saw that the moment the four stepped onto the stone corridor, a dozen giant stone guards rushed forward and launched a fierce attack on them.

And the four were indeed the top prodigies of the Southern Nether Continent. The giant stone guards that had previously troubled Cang Qing and the other four Emperor Children of Emperor-level forces were handled with ease by the four, who shattered several giant stone guards in a single encounter.

But the reason giant stone guards were difficult to deal with was that even if they were shattered, they could recover within a few seconds.

While the four were challenging the stone corridor, Lin Xuan was also observing the four.

“All are at the Peak of the King Realm Ninth Heaven, with deeper foundations than the successors of those Emperor-level forces… As expected of prodigies from Heavenly Emperor forces.”

Lin Xuan thought to himself.

However, he didn't pay too much attention. In his eyes, these four were still within the scope of his suppression.

Nangong Batian and the others pushed forward all the way, passing through the stone corridor in just half an incense stick's time and arriving in front of the stone gate.

Then the stone gate slowly opened a gap wide enough for two people. Under everyone's curious gaze, they quickly entered, and the stone gate closed again.

“No, we can't wait any longer, otherwise the opportunities in the Second Heaven will be completely plundered by them!”

Someone suddenly said.

“We should also put down our guard and join forces to challenge the stone corridor, do you agree?”

Cang Qing, the Emperor Child of the Cangfeng Dynasty, said with a frown.

Many Emperor Children and successors were moved. Their strength was not comparable to Nangong Batian and the others just now. With just four or five people, they couldn't get through. Only by uniting with more people would they have a chance.

But everyone was afraid of being ambushed by others and were guarding against each other.

“Agree or not, give me an answer! If you don't want the opportunities in the Second Heaven, consider it unsaid.”

Cang Qing coldly shouted.

“Okay, our Demon Clan agrees to join forces, but you Human had better not play any tricks, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!”

“Hmph! That's what we should be saying to you Demon Clan!”

Soon, the Emperor Children and successors of the Human and Demon Clans here formed teams, with eight people per group, divided into three groups, and challenged the stone corridor in turn.

This time, they indeed did not fail again. Although it took some time, they all passed through without injury.

At this point, all those Emperor Children had entered the Second Heaven.

Only the others remained anxious.
