Chapter 1333: Chapter 268: Shocking Fortunate Encounter, Fairy Spirit Lair

Gargantuan Summit City, located at the heart of the Sacred Realm, had been home to Gu Chen and his companions for some time now, where they learned about the various aspects of this realm.

Especially, they delved deeper into the understanding of the ruling imperial families, royal families, and various special regions.

And on this particular day, Gargantuan Summit City was abuzz with a shocking explosive piece of news that sent ripples across the city.

"What did you say, the True Dragon Nest is about to open?!" As this news spread, countless individuals trembled, including the native inhabitants of the Sacred Realm.

"The True Dragon Nest?!" Even Gu Chen and his group, along with other extraordinary talents from the upper realms who had come to this land, felt their hearts skip a beat upon hearing these three words.

What were True Dragons? They were celestial spirits, esteemed and superior, comparable to the highest of the heavens, a sight unseen in an entire era!

"In this realm, there are True Dragons?" Gu Chen and the others exchanged looks, having just learned of this news themselves.

It was truly astounding, the opening of the True Dragon Nest could possibly reveal a living True Dragon?

If so, both the Sacred Realm and the upper realms would quake violently, triggering a significant earthquake!

"The dragon clans in the depths of this realm must surely be going berserk over this," Gu Chen and his companions murmured to themselves.

True Dragons and Phoenixes among other celestial spirits were not exclusive to the last great era; these highly esteemed beings were tremendously powerful in each era, positioned at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Within the Sacred Realm, there were descendants of these celestial spirits, though not of pure blood, similar to the upper realm’s top ten races, like the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan.

Due to the overwhelming power of these celestial bloodlines, capable of suppressing worlds, procreation among their descendants was extremely difficult, only a few each era.

Thus, pureblood celestial beings were exceedingly rare, with the dragon and Peng clans within the Sacred Realm facing a similar situation as the top ten clans of the upper realm.

Of course, even so, over the lengthy passage of time, these breeds with celestial bloodlines were exceptionally extraordinary, existing here as either royal or imperial clans, yet all resided deep within this realm.

"The True Dragon Nest, covered by formations generation after generation, but just recently, it was discovered that those formations are starting to dissipate, what does that indicate? The celestial nests are about to emerge!" Inside Gargantuan Summit City, countless people were overwhelmingly excited about this, including the natives.

"Perhaps, there are True Dragon hatchlings inside, if acquired and raised, they could dominate the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands unmatched in the future!" some could not help but fantasize.

Pureblood True Dragons were naturally incredibly powerful, this was unquestionable, forging a good relationship with them could allow one to traverse the world unchallenged.

Even more, if ruthless enough, the moment a True Dragon was about to be born, one could annihilate it directly, absorbing the celestial spirit’s fortune for oneself.

At that moment, the cultivators would undoubtedly experience a supreme enhancement.

Indeed, upon learning this news, those harboring such thoughts were not few.

"This time, the dragon clans from deep within the Sacred Realm are likely to emerge!" said one person, his expression quite wary.

As natives, they knew just how strong the dragon clans, imperial beings of this realm, were; despite constraints placed by the overarching limits, they were unmatched in power.

The news of the gradually dissipating seals of the True Dragon Nest had alarmed countless.

But soon after, another explosive piece of news arrived, shaking Gargantuan Summit City once more.

"Not just the True Dragon Nest, but, reportedly, the Phoenix Nest is also undergoing changes!"

"And not only the Phoenix Nest, the Tian Peng Nest as well!"

Shocking news continued to pour in one after another; several celestial spirit nests within the Sacred Realm were undergoing changes on this very day, truly alarming countless individuals and rendering the core of the Sacred Realm restless.

"Indeed, this realm is about to plunge into chaos soon," Long Yi said with a stern expression.

With celestial spirit nests emerging, no one could remain indifferent, let alone when it’s not just one location; the dragon, Peng, and Phoenix clans among other imperial clans were surely unable to resist going to investigate.

"I just wonder if this era will see the emergence of celestial spirits?" Gu Chen was also curious about this.

Long Yi and the others were extremely solemn; if celestial spirits were to appear, this battle among the Ten Thousand Tribes could truly be splendid and magnificent!

Even the so-called inheritors of the Nine Heavens would have opponents and could not emerge as the leaders!

That day, the news of the celestial spirit nests’ emergence not only spread through several cities but this explosive news instantly spread throughout the entire core realm of the Sacred Realm, sparking a tremendous uproar.

On the same day, cities deep within the realm experienced intense tremors, as the dragon, Phoenix, and Peng clans could no longer stay aloof and calm.

Even other major imperial and royal clans also developed a keen interest in this development.

As for the numerous prodigies from the upper realm, they were even more so interested, even the eight inheritors of the Nine Heavens showed a strong curiosity towards the so-called celestial spirits.

"To slay celestial beings and prove my supremacy alone!" In a dark place, the Ghostly Son of Netherworld Heaven, clad in black, stood there, his gaze cold and merciless, with a hint of a chilling smile appearing on his face.

"Celestial spirits? The battle among the Ten Thousand Tribes is indeed becoming more and more interesting," the young master of the Sacred Gate, Yuan Gu, remarked with a mysterious aura flowing in his eyes.

A white-haired man, successor to the Ice Emperor, had a cold expression as he gazed at the heavens, silent and uncommunicative.

A young Daoist wearing a Daoist robe, however, had a smile on his lips, full of expectation.

It could be said that after hearing this news, the inheritors of the Nine Heavens showed various reactions, each with their distinct responses.

Even they, as inheritors of the highest realms, evidently knew some secrets unknown to ordinary people.

Inside Gargantuan Summit City, everyone who knew this news was incredibly excited, preparing to wait for the opening of those celestial spirit nests and then to seek their own fortunes.

"True Dragon Nest, Phoenix Nest, and the Tian Peng Nest among others, which one shall we go to?" discussed both cultivators and natives.

Of course, since the celestial spirit nests had existed in the core realm of the Sacred Realm for a long time, these natives naturally knew more detailed information.

Thus, on that day, many cultivators from the upper realm sought teachings from these Sacred Realm natives, paying a price to seek intelligence.

"Which location interests you, young master?" Long Yi looked at Gu Chen, knowing he would not miss these places.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyan, Princess Xidie, Yun Zishu, and Zhen Yuan all felt the same way.

In this matter, they would naturally follow Gu Chen’s opinion and stand united with him.

Gu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, those places are more or less the same. However, the real dragon nest is closer to our location, so I will choose to go there."

"No problem," Long Yi and the others nodded, also unanimously agreeing.

They, of course, would not question the decision made by Gu Chen.

"However, young master, when we get there, be sure not to conflict with the dragon clan," Long Yi said with a grave expression.

"I know," Gu Chen nodded.

Of course, this was under the assumption that the dragons of the sacred realm did not provoke him, otherwise, Gu Chen would not be polite.

He had a clear understanding of his own strength. If he were to fully cultivate his spirit, energy, and mind, and break into the heavenly realm, he would be invincible.

By then, Gu Chen was confident that he could dominate this place.

After all, due to the rules of the sacred realm, the strongest beings here could not reach the second great realm of the heavenly realm, which is the domain of the mighty figures of the upper realm.

Gu Chen had never been afraid of anyone at his level.

Long Yi knew Gu Chen’s character and couldn’t help but worry a bit, but he didn’t say much.

And so, a day passed quietly.

The next day, in Gargantuan Summit City, the largest auction house opened, conducting an auction of various treasures.

At the start of the auction, the place was packed; it was so crowded that many who wanted to enter could not, feeling frustrated for being a step late.

All this because the auction house announced that it would be selling a map of the fairy spirit nest among other items.

At this critical moment, the place was naturally overcrowded, with countless cultivators clamoring to enter.

Fortunately, Gu Chen and his companions were wise enough to purchase seats at a significant cost.

Dong!

At that moment, a bell rang in the grand auction hall, drawing everyone’s attention.

In the front, there was a high platform with a jade bell that had just emitted a vibration to quiet the noisy hall.

It must be said that the auction house in Gargantuan Summit City was very particular; the entire venue was splendidly decorated, and the chairs and the high platform were made of rare gemstones, transparent and gleaming, radiating a soft luster.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the auctioneer for this event, Lan Ying," said a woman who walked up to the stage, dressed very lightly, covering only her front and below. She was beautiful with big, moist eyes and long blue hair. Her curvy figure, combined with this attire, was very tempting.

As soon as this woman appeared, she captured the gaze of most of the men in the auction hall.

"Hisss!"

At that moment, even Yun Zishu and Zhen Yuan, who seldom admired women, gasped in surprise because of her impressive figure.

"Isn’t that going to explode?" the two murmured quietly, glancing up now and then.

Hearing this, a few black lines appeared on the foreheads of Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie, and they glanced subtly at their own fronts.

Inevitably, Long Yi also took a few more glances, somewhat captivated.

As for Gu Chen, he was more casual. Everyone has an appreciation for beauty, he glanced but did not stare.

Soon, on the white jade platform, Lan Ying, with her sweet voice, announced the start of the auction.

"The first item, Ancient Spirit Grass, a thirty thousand-year-old sacred medicine, can aid cultivators in forging their bodies and tempering their bones. It is highly effective for cultivators below the fifth transformation," Lan Ying said with a smile, her sweet voice combined with her impressive figure making it difficult to look away.

"It’s no wonder the natives of the sacred realm are so rich, starting the auction with a thirty thousand-year-old sacred medicine," Long Yi commented.

Of course, although the sacred realm is extraordinary, it is still quite limited compared to many things that are scarce here from the upper realm.

For example, unique treasures born outside the domain, such as the Dyeing Star Stone, are not available here.

Therefore, every time the core area of the sacred realm opens, these natives use the auction to exchange for some of their necessities.

And the most wealthy in the sacred realm are naturally various spiritual and sacred medicines.

The Ancient Spirit Grass, however, was no longer of much use to Gu Chen and Long Yi, but for Yun Zishu, Zhen Yuan, Gu Qingyan, and Princess Xidie, it was still highly effective.

The four started bidding, and under the stimulation of the beautiful Lan Ying, the atmosphere in the hall quickly became incredibly heated, with countless people starting to bid.

Among the younger generation, those who want to reach the fifth transformation of the physical body are very rare indeed.

Bear in mind, the so-called freaks of nature can only achieve the sixth transformation of the physical body at the great perfection of the United Realm.

Finally, after Yun Zishu spent a substantial amount, he successfully bid for the Ancient Spirit Grass.

At the end of the auction, someone would deliver it to him.

As the auction heated up, important items such as the map of the fairy spirit nest would naturally appear last.

At that moment, Gu Chen’s gaze shifted, scanning the surroundings of the hall, noting that many were cultivators from the upper realm like himself.

"Hmm?" At one moment, Gu Chen’s brows shot up as he looked towards a particular spot in the hall, where a young man was sitting.

"What’s wrong, young master?" Long Yi was very sharp and quickly noticed something amiss, following Gu Chen’s gaze.

Upon seeing the young man sitting there, Long Yi couldn’t help but exclaim softly, "Jian Jiu?"
