Chapter 1344: Chapter 274: Marching into the True Dragon’s Lair

"The celestial spirit nest had opened; this news exploded throughout the holy realm, attracting countless prodigies and demons, along with the Great Powers, to set off in search for their own heaven-defying opportunities!"

"Gu Chen, of course, was no exception. Accompanied by Long Yi, Gu Qingyan, Princess Xidie, Yun Zishu, and Zhen Yuan, and joined by seven Great Powers including Ren Fei from Qingyun Palace, they embarked on their journey."

"Here are the details about the dragon nest; you can take a look first," Ren Fei said on the way, taking out a scroll and handing it to Gu Chen and the others.

No matter what, Qingyun Palace had been in the core of the holy land for nearly a great era, which means it knew much more about the area than Gu Chen and the others, who had just arrived.

The information was quite detailed, containing various intelligence about the true dragon’s nest.

"It’s a pity that we couldn’t get that map at the auction house," Long Yi said regretfully.

It was evident that the map auctioned at Gargantuan Summit City a few days ago undoubtedly came from some imperial or royal family deep within the holy realm.

It surely contained more detailed intelligence about the true dragon’s nest, but unfortunately, a small piece of Dark Fairy Gold was the price, and it was daunting for everyone.

"It doesn’t matter," Gu Chen spoke at that moment, his eyes deep and confident that, with the Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye, he could still avoid some of the dangerous places.

The opening of the celestial spirit nest did not mean that its array of defenses had completely disappeared; they still existed.

Rather, the strongest restriction that enveloped the entire celestial spirit nest had dissipated, giving many cultivators the opportunity to enter.

The destination of Gu Chen’s group, the true dragon’s nest, was about thirty thousand miles away from the city where Qingyun Palace was located.

Using teleportation arrays, and by their swift pace, they had reached their destination in less than half a day.

"Is that the true dragon’s nest?" Long Yi and the others looked on in shock at the distant, massive black structure that filled their view, leaving no room for anything else.

From afar, it resembled a black divine dragon, struggling to break free from the constraints of the universe, soaring into the sky, tearing through the cosmos.

"What material is the true dragon’s nest made of, and why does it look like it’s made of wood?" Yun Zishu inquired, somewhat puzzled as he looked at the distance.

At this moment, Ren Fei, an elder of Qingyun Palace, spoke to explain: "True dragons are celestial spirits, favored by the heavens, with unmatched blood and power, reigning above all. Such beings are naturally accompanied by various phenomena and rare items when they descend to the world."

Ren Fei informed Gu Chen and the others that the true dragon’s nest was constructed from a unique type of wood that appeared when the true dragon was born. This wood was extremely tough and highly suitable for the attributes of a true dragon, and in terms of sturdiness, it was said to be not far behind Dark Fairy Gold and Vault of Heaven Fairy Gold.

This was astonishing in itself; the fact that an accompanying item was of such caliber left Gu Chen and the others in awe, distinguishing celestials from mere mortals.

"The true dragon’s nest is very large; what we see is just a part of it. Many cultivators will enter from various places," Ren Fei continued.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zishu suddenly realized, "I see, that’s why we don’t see other people around, only us few."

Then Long Yi spoke in a deep voice, "This is also thanks to the simultaneous opening of other nests like the Phoenix Sky Peng nest; otherwise, if it were only the true dragon’s nest, no matter how large, it would have been overcrowded."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement; the allure of the celestial spirit nest was beyond doubt, and every major force in the holy realm had dispatched representatives.

At the same time, they were also very curious about the other celestial spirit nests like the Phoenix, Sky Peng, and Qilin.

However, since these celestial spirit nests opened simultaneously, they were incapable of being in multiple places at once and could only chose one destination to seek their fortune.

The true dragon’s nest was the closest to them, saving a lot of time, which was why Gu Chen chose this place.

"Let’s go."

Gu Chen spoke, and clearly, even with the presence of Ren Fei and the other seven Great Powers, he was still the leader of this small team, with everything revolving around him.

This was informed before their arrival by the three masters of Qingyun Palace, including Master Qin.

"All of you follow behind me," Gu Chen reminded everyone as he stepped forward and walked towards the enormous, endless black structure in the distance.

As they neared it, although they had not yet entered, Long Yi and the others involuntarily felt a heavy sensation in their hearts.

Even Ren Fei and the other seven experienced Great Powers in the heavenly land felt the same, their expressions growing increasingly solemn.

However, Gu Chen felt nothing; his physical and spiritual strength were somewhat exceptional, making this pressure utterly ineffective on him.

Nevertheless, he did indeed sense that the true dragon’s nest was extraordinary.

Hum!

The next instant, as they approached it, Gu Chen no longer hesitated, his eyes shining brilliantly with dazzling, mysterious symbols flickering continuously within his pupils.

It was the Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye!

This divine ability revealed the true appearance of the dragon’s nest before Gu Chen’s eyes.

"Uh?!"

Seeing what the true dragon’s nest actually looked like, Gu Chen could not help but be profoundly shocked.

"What’s wrong?" At this moment, Long Yi and the others noticed Gu Chen’s reaction and couldn’t help but inquire.

"It’s nothing," Gu Chen shook his head and then took a deep breath of the various energies drifting in the void to calm his mind.
