CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24: ANCIENT GOD MOUNTAIN

"Uncle Master, save me!"

"Uncle Master Qiushui, I don’t want to die! Save us quickly!"

Yang Shan and Qian Yue fell from the sky, struggling frantically and continuously screaming in terror.

Their cultivation was too weak; they couldn’t perform sword flight, nor did they have a flying magical treasure. Falling into the deep mountains from such a height meant certain death.

Lu Ming cried out in panic, "Brother Yang, Sister Qian Yue, think of something quick, I haven’t even gotten married yet!"

"Little White only listens to Uncle Master’s words, we’re doomed this time!" Wang Hou closed his eyes in terror.

Facing death for real, one cannot describe how terrified they felt inside.

"Senior Brothers and Sisters, my Ice Attribute can protect everyone, no need to panic," Gu Chenfeng suddenly spoke, his eyes showing no sign of panic at all.

Hearing Gu Chenfeng’s words, Yang Shan and the others saw him as their last hope and were overjoyed.

Lu Ming hurriedly shouted, "That’s great! Hurry up, Junior Brother Gu, or we’ll be too late."

Gu Chenfeng remained calm, his gaze focused on the massive energy illusion in the sky.

Gu Chenfeng could immediately tell the energy illusion was the Sect Leader of the Ancient Divine Sect.

"Why is the Sect Leader here?" Gu Chenfeng was a bit puzzled.

However, without thinking much, as they were getting closer to the deep mountains, he fully activated the Ice Attribute Spiritual Power within him.

Gu Chenfeng had perfect control over Ice Attribute Spiritual Power and had absolute confidence to save everyone before hitting the deep mountains.

However.

Just as Gu Chenfeng was about to make a move, a gentle power suddenly enveloped them, finally lowering them slowly into the mountains.

"This power seems gentle, yet it’s extremely strong," Gu Chenfeng thought to himself. "And it’s much stronger than Uncle Master Qiushui’s, definitely above the Soul Emergence Stage."

"Thank heavens, we’re finally saved," Lu Ming sighed in complete relief, his face pale with fright.

"We almost died," Yang Shan swallowed down his fear, his back soaked with cold sweat.

"The feeling of death is terrifying," Qian Yue couldn’t stop trembling, scared out of her wits.

A charming figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was Ling Qiushui.

Seeing Yang Shan and the others still in shock and fear, Ling Qiushui smiled and asked, "Are you all okay?"

"N-no... nothing," Yang Shan and the others shook their heads, trying hard to suppress their fear.

The energy illusion of the Ancient Sect Leader also manifested immediately afterwards.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!" Yang Shan and the others stood up and saluted respectfully.

The Ancient Sect Leader smiled faintly, "Yang Shan, Gu Chenfeng, Qiushui is going to the Commerce Association to attend an auction, why don’t you go as well?"

Yang Shan clasped his hands respectfully and said, "Sect Leader, I’ll pass. I plan to return to the sect for closed-door cultivation to break through quickly."

Qian Yue then spoke, "Sect Leader, both my Junior Brother and I are eager to break through the Fasting Stage, so we won’t go either."

The Ancient Sect Leader nodded slightly, then looked at Gu Chenfeng and asked, "Gu Chenfeng, how about you?"

Gu Chenfeng thought for a moment and replied, "Sect Leader, I’ve never been to the Commerce Association, I might as well go take a look."

"Hmm," the Ancient Sect Leader nodded with a smile, "The Commerce Association is filled with powerful beings, and this auction is drawing in many strong cultivators from various Immortal Cultivation Sects. It will be beneficial for you to have a look."

Looking towards Ling Qiushui, the Ancient Sect Leader reminded again, "Little Junior Sister, make sure to get the Celestial Technique at all costs, your Senior Brother will be waiting in the sect for your good news."

With that said, the Ancient Sect Leader waved his hand, a purple energy circle appeared out of thin air, then took Yang Shan and the others back to the sect.

"The Commerce Association is at the Ancient God Mountain. At Little White’s speed, it will take at least three hours. Let’s go," Ling Qiushui laughed softly, leaping onto the crane.

"Ancient God Mountain," Gu Chenfeng heard of this place for the first time.

Ling Qiushui gently said, "Little White, fly at full speed to the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association."

The crane’s massive wings gave a sudden shake, and its form turned into a stream of light and shot out in a flash, its speed incredibly alarming.

"Such terrifying speed, probably several times faster than that of a Golden Core Stage expert," Gu Chenfeng thought with alarm, holding onto the crane’s feathers tightly, afraid of being blown away by the strong wind.

"Gu Chenfeng, who are you?" Ling Qiushui suddenly leaned closer to Gu Chenfeng, her absolutely beautiful face completely in his eyes.

Gu Chenfeng instinctively leaned back, accidentally glancing at her high peaks, his handsome face instantly turned red, retreating in panic.

Gu Chenfeng looked elsewhere, blushing as he said, "Uncle Master Qiushui, I’ve been in the Lingyun Sect since I was a child, I really don’t know who I am."

"You don’t?" Ling Qiushui gazed intently at Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng’s heart raced, hurriedly answering, "I really don’t know, I heard from the Lingyun Sect Leader that I was found in the back mountain."

Slightly furrowing her eyebrows, she said, "You have a Perfect Spirit Root, and such strong Ice Attribute Spiritual Power. Your background must be unusual, either from a great family or a powerful sect."

"Great family? Powerful sect?" Gu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment and then chuckled dryly, "That’s impossible, Uncle Master Qiushui, please don’t joke around."

Gu Chenfeng knew that without the help of the Eternal Celestial Emperor, he would just be an ordinary cultivator.

The Perfect Spirit Root and Ice Attribute Spiritual Power were all granted by the Celestial Emperor’s Blood.

Great family? Great sect? Oh, please.

"I’m not joking around," Ling Qiushui said, hands on her hips, "Descendants of great families and powerful sects often have extremely high talent and very strong Spirit Roots."

"You possess a one-in-a-million Perfect Spirit Root, an incomparably strong Ice Attribute, and were even noticed by the Immortal Elder. This means your background is extraordinary, perhaps the offspring of those mysterious forces."

"Mysterious forces?" Gu Chenfeng felt his head spinning as Ling Qiushui continued to exaggerate.

To stop Ling Qiushui from speaking further, Gu Chenfeng quickly changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Uncle Master Qiushui, will there really be someone auctioning off the Celestial Technique?"

"Of course," Ling Qiushui chuckled, "But it’s rare. It must have been accidentally obtained by someone whose cultivation is too weak to practice it. Keeping it is extremely risky, so they have to auction it."

"A Celestial Technique is a priceless treasure, exchanged only for equally valuable items like powerful elixirs, formidable cultivation techniques, or other heavenly materials and treasures."

"I see," Gu Chenfeng nodded.

Ling Qiushui continued, "Besides the Celestial Technique, there are other treasures I need at this auction, otherwise I wouldn’t agree to go all the way to the Ancient God Mountain."

Three hours passed in a flash.

The crane had arrived at the Ancient God Mountain.

From all directions, powerful beings kept arriving on flying swords, radiating incredibly strong auras.

"Is this the Ancient God Mountain? It’s so spectacular! The peaks are floating in the sky!" Seeing the giant floating peaks, Gu Chenfeng was extremely shocked.

Ling Qiushui cautioned, "Once we reach the Commerce Association, stay close to me, don’t wander off, and don’t cause any trouble. Let’s go down."
