32: Ancient Realm Map, Night Family Launches Attack!

"That will be difficult."

Huang Liner sighed, "The passage to the Origin Ancient Realm only opens once every one thousand two hundred years, and one must be at least in the Supreme Realm to enter."

"The passage opens once every one thousand two hundred years, and you have to be in the Supreme Realm to enter?"

Gu Qingchen thought of something. "When was the last time the Origin Ancient Realm opened?"

"One thousand one hundred and forty-four years ago."

"In other words, there are only fifty-six years left until the next opening of the Origin Ancient Realm. If I miss this time, I'll have to wait another one thousand two hundred years?"

Gu Qingchen suddenly felt a mountain of pressure.

Since the minimum requirement to enter the Origin Ancient Realm was the Supreme Realm, he would have to break through to the Supreme Realm within fifty-six years.

The difficulty of this was no less than asking him to go kick his Revered Master right now and say, 'Hey, old-timer, it's time to step down; I'll be the Holy Revered Master now.'

One must know that his Revered Master, the Xuantian Holy Master, was also a Prodigy. In his youth, he had been peerless, suppressing countless Geniuses of his generation and carving a blood-soaked path through hundreds of Reserve Holy Sons to seize the position of Saint.

Later, when the previous Holy Revered Master was imprisoned, he took over the position of Holy Revered Master ahead of schedule.

Yet, after cultivating for a full one thousand eight hundred years, he was still only at the Saint King Ninth Level.

Who knew how many more years it would take for him to become a Supreme?

In contrast, Gu Qingchen's current strength had only just broken through to the Seventh Heaven of the Profound Grotto Realm.

In his plan, he would break through to the Three Dao Realm within ten years, the Three Saint Realm within a hundred years, and the Three Supreme Realm within a thousand years.

Breaking through at this speed was considered steady and didn't pose much difficulty.

But to compress a thousand years into fifty-six years was an almost impossible task!

"Should I wait until the opening after next to explore the Origin Ancient Realm?"

Just as this thought popped into Gu Qingchen's mind, he heard Huang Liner say, "By the way, my Imperial Father left me a map of the Origin Ancient Realm. Following the route on the map, we should be able to find the great dao source tree."

"That's not bad."

Gu Qingchen nodded.

With a map, he wouldn't have to wander the world blindly. When the time came, he would find the great dao source tree and see if he could pull it up by its roots.

However, it would likely be very difficult. If it could be taken away, someone would have done so over these countless years.

"Imperial Father also said that the great dao source tree bore a total of seven fruits this time, but the fruits were not actually fully ripe, so he only picked one."

As she spoke, Huang Liner's mood became a bit low again. "Originally, Imperial Father was thinking of coming back to pick them when the fruits were ripe next time, but who knew..."

Hmm?

Hearing Huang Liner's words, Gu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

In other words, there were still six fruits left on the great dao source tree?

Then he absolutely had to enter the Origin Ancient Realm!

He must become a Supreme in fifty-six years and then enter the Origin Ancient Realm to take the remaining fruits!

He had originally thought that all the fruits of the great dao source tree had been picked clean, but who knew there were actually six left.

If he didn't go in this time, would there be any left next time?

After all, who knew if someone would enter the Origin Ancient Realm fifty-six years from now, have their Luck explode, find the great dao source tree all at once, and pick the remaining six fruits?

It was just breaking through to the Supreme Realm within fifty-six years.

If he worked hard and exploited Jiang Yourong a bit more, making her suffer a little to find more Opportunities for him to intercept, then there was still some hope.

Having made up his mind, Gu Qingchen snapped back to reality and noticed Huang Liner's mood, knowing she was sad again because of her father's matters.

He shook his head, feeling a bit of lament.

The past is like a wave, receding and then surging again.

And sorrow is the same.

Gu Qingchen gently touched Huang Liner's crystal-clear horns and comforted her, "Don't be too sad. What's past is past, isn't it? Look at the scenery ahead; I will walk the path of the future with you."

"Revered Master..."

Huang Liner looked at Gu Qingchen above her, a hint of stability flashing in her crystalline eyes.

She nodded fiercely and said, "Mhm!"

...Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

And today would be the day the Underground Cave Trial ended.

Since taking Huang Liner as his mount, Gu Qingchen hadn't made many other moves.

He had only made a trip to the Divine Heart Hall within the God Perishing Abyss to collect that divine ability fruit tree.

It was quite interesting when he thought about it.

Originally, his main purpose for this Underground Cave Trial was this divine ability fruit tree, but who knew so many things would happen.

Not only had he suppressed Ye Wushuang and saved Gu Xie, taking him as a servant, but he had also obtained the myriad dao treasure tree.

Furthermore, after a great battle with Huang Liner, his strength had successfully broken through to the Seventh Heaven of the Profound Grotto Realm, he had comprehended many Dao Intents, and he had even taken her as a mount.

He had also learned of the existence of the Origin Ancient Realm from Huang Liner and received news of the great dao source tree's fruits.

With so many unexpected surprises, his original goal—the divine ability fruit tree—seemed somewhat insignificant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the sound of breaking wind came from the horizon.

Gu Qingchen looked up and saw Jiang Yourong and her group driving a treasure ship rapidly through the sky, arriving before him in the blink of an eye.

"It seems your harvest this time is quite good."

Gu Qingchen brought Huang Liner and the others onto the treasure ship and saw that the women were all smiling brightly, clearly in a very good mood.

"Hehe, fortunately, we didn't fail our mission. Our harvest this time is indeed quite good."

Jiang Yourong gave a clever smile.

"It's more than just good; it's a bumper harvest!"

"Returning fully loaded!"

"A wave of sudden wealth!"

"Fruitful results!"

"..."

Seeing that everyone from the Chentian Pavilion wanted to get in front of Gu Qingchen to make an impression, Zhao Linger quickly said, "Alright, alright, the harvest this time is indeed very good, the trial is already secure. The Young Master will remember your contributions, but everyone needs to restrain themselves a bit."

"That's right."

Gu Qingchen nodded, "You all performed well in this trial. In addition to the contribution points from the Holy Land, everyone will also receive ten thousand contribution points from the Chentian Pavilion."

"Yay!"

"Senior Brother Gu is too good!"

"With these ten thousand points, I've saved up thirty thousand points. I can exchange them for an hour of one-on-one private dao lecturing from Senior Brother Gu!"

"I want to exchange for a treasure robe the Young Master has worn!"

"..."

Seeing the girls becoming more and more unrestrained, Gu Qingchen couldn't help but cough twice.

"Everyone, watch your influence; there are newcomers here."

"Won't the Young Master introduce them to everyone?"

Zhao Linger spoke up with some curiosity.

She had just seen the Young Master bring three people up. One was a young man with black ink-like patterns on his light brown skin, clearly a member of the Subterranean Demon Race.

He stood respectfully in the corner, half-bowed, looking like a servant.

And behind him was a demon girl.

The two looked somewhat alike, possibly siblings.

Besides them, there was a little girl next to the Young Master who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with a pair of crystal-clear horns on her head, which was quite extraordinary.

Gu Qingchen pulled Huang Liner over and introduced her, "This is Huang Liner. She will be by my side from now on. Linger, take more care of her when you have time."

He was also a bit surprised that Huang Liner looked so small after transforming.

From his conversation with Huang Liner and her cultivation level, he knew that this little Qilin shouldn't be very old according to the age of the Kirin Clan.

But he had thought she would at least look sixteen or seventeen after transforming, but he didn't expect her to look only twelve or thirteen.

In other words, the battle he had thought was between equals and blood-boiling was actually him beating up a child?

"No, no, no, she's lived for over one thousand one hundred years, how can she be considered a child?"

Gu Qingchen shook his head, refusing to admit this.

"I understand."

Zhao Linger took a careful look at Huang Liner, understanding that her Young Master placed great importance on this young girl.

"As for him, his name is Gu Xie, he's my newly acquired servant."

Gu Qingchen pointed at Gu Xie again, "The girl behind him is his sister."

After the battle, Gu Qingchen and Gu Xie had turned the Forbidden Land of the Fiends upside down and eventually found only a few hundred survivors.

Fortunately, Gu Xie's sister had also survived.

In the end, he chose to take his sister and leave the Cave World to follow Gu Qingchen to the Xuantian Holy Land, while the remaining demon survivors continued to live in the Cave World.

The group wanted to chat more, but a questioning voice came from the horizon.

"Gu Qingchen, where is my family's Young Lord?"

Hearing this questioning voice, Gu Qingchen frowned.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the three Auditing Elders for this trial had already arrived.

The one who had spoken out in questioning was the middle-aged man in black robes in the center of the three Auditing Elders...
