But then another middle-aged man in a white robe appeared.
Yang Yan, who had been unable to move under the pressure, regained his freedom and gratefully bowed to the middle-aged man in white robes: "Disciple Yang Yan greets Elder Zhu!"
"No need for such formalities!"
The middle-aged man in white robes waved his hand, his gaze falling on the old man in black robes, and then he smiled: "If I remember correctly, you are Dugu Fengyun, right? We met once more than 20,000 years ago!"
The old man in black robes looked thoughtful, then looked at the middle-aged man in white robes and suddenly realized, "So it's Senior Zhu. I didn't expect that after more than 20,000 years, Senior Zhu hasn't changed at all. By the way, when did Senior Zhu join the Burning Moon Sect?"
More than 20,000 years ago, Dugu Fengyun was a young man who came to Zhongzhou to make his way in the world. At that time, this Senior Zhu was already a Void Realm expert. On a chance occasion, he gave him a few pointers. However, at that time, he was a rogue cultivator and had not joined any sect!
The middle-aged man in white robes smiled and said, "There's no other way. Although independent cultivators are free and unrestrained, if they want to advance further, they have to rely on a sect to obtain cultivation resources. I am currently a guest elder of the Burning Moon Sect!"
"I see!"
Dugu Fengyun nodded. As a member of a sect, he naturally knew that high-level cultivation resources were controlled by the sects of the five major domains.
For a rogue cultivator to reach the Void Transformation stage is already considered lucky. To advance to the Dao Integration stage, one either needs to be extremely lucky to obtain a Great Dao Crystal, or one can only join a sect, serve them, and exchange it for high-level resources.
"Fellow Daoist Dugu, could you spare the offense of the Holy Son Yangyan for my sake?" the white-robed middle-aged man said sincerely, while also feeling somewhat regretful.
Back then, he was a Void Realm expert, while Dugu Fengyun was only at the Nascent Soul level.
Now, more than 20,000 years have passed. Although both of them have reached the Dao Integration stage, he has stopped at the second level of Dao Integration, while the other has reached the third level.
As for why he looks so young, it's simply because he's taken a youth-preserving elixir; in reality, his lifespan is already quite short.
"Senior, you flatter me. I never intended to make things difficult for your sect's holy son!"
Dugu Fengyun responded with a smile!
"Then, Fellow Daoist Dugu, we shall meet again if fate allows!" Elder Zhu grabbed Yang Yan and vanished from the spot.
"You're quite talented and physically gifted, but you lack a bit of sharpness!"
Dugu Fengyun said something to Gao Yan, and then disappeared into thin air!
If it were someone else, they might have felt conflicted after hearing Dugu Fengyun's evaluation, but Gao Yan was completely unaffected because he knew exactly what he wanted!
At the same time, Gao Yan was also somewhat regretful. He had originally intended to provoke Yang Yan's emotions and thus engage in a duel with him, but he did not expect that his own Dao Integration expert would interfere.
As for how he determined that the other party was a Dao-Merging Great Power, he naturally used his Insightful Eye to investigate.
Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
The sun shines brightly in the early morning.
The Nine Saints Sect's forces left Frostfall City and headed in a certain direction.
After flying for several hours, we arrived above a huge swamp.
Standing on the deck, Gao Yan noticed that a large number of airships were floating in this area, and he could identify the various factions by the markings on the airships.
The emergence of the tomb of the Creation Emperor has attracted almost all the top forces in the five major domains.
"I never imagined that the tomb of the Creator Emperor would be in a place like this!"
Xiahou Meng said softly.
The swamp area below is thin in spiritual energy and filled with all kinds of poisonous miasma. The swamp also harbors a large number of poisonous insects and beasts.
Apart from a few heretical cultivators, no righteous cultivator is willing to set foot in this place.
"Perhaps what we see is just the surface, or perhaps the Emperor's tomb absorbed the feng shui power of this place, turning it into a poisonous swamp!" Gao Yan said casually.
"Hey, you really won't team up with me?" Xiahou Meng spoke again: "My Xiahou family has sent quite a few experts to accompany us!"
"I appreciate your kind offer, Senior Sister!"
Gao Yan smiled and shook his head.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
Xiahou Meng glared at Gao Yan and left the deck.
Two days have passed since all the forces arrived at this swamp, but there is still no sign of the Creation Emperor's tomb emerging.
Finally, at noon that day, there was a commotion in the sky.
The seven-colored divine light pierced through the clouds and shone on the swamp below. Instantly, a rumbling sound rang out, and the swamp shook violently.
In an instant, the poisonous insects and beasts lurking in the swamp emerged from within and fled desperately in all directions.
But at this moment, beams of seven-colored divine light shot out from the swamp, and wherever the divine light passed, all the poisonous insects and beasts were reduced to dust.
The flying ships of various factions hovering in the sky were so frightened that they all retreated.
After a while.
Not only were poisonous insects and beasts wiped out by the seven-colored divine light, but even the swamp disappeared.
At the same time, a huge gate appeared in that area, and in front of the gate was a plaza made of white jade.
After sending someone to test the waters.
With no danger in the square, personnel from various factions flew towards it.
"You two sisters, stay put on the airship!"
Gao Yan gave the Ye sisters some instructions and then flew out of the flying boat towards the square.
The huge gate behind the square was closed.
However, there are nine grooves on the door, and the space inside these grooves is about the same size as the token.
So someone placed the nine tokens on it.
Suddenly, the portal burst open, revealing a vast, white passage that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Those with a bone age of less than 1,000 years may enter; those with a bone age of more than 1,000 years who dare to enter will be killed!"
