Chapter 298: Chapter 298, Three Sect Powerhouses

The Primordial Earth Palace lies at the bottom of Demon Cliff, at the boundary between the Celestial Realm and the Golden Sand Domain, and the Celestial Travel Sect is located tens of thousands of miles from Demon Cliff.

Every time Wan Shui Laozu and Ancient Sword Peak tear through space, they travel a thousand miles. Tens of thousands of miles is not far for them, but after tearing through space seven or eight times, they need to stop for a short rest to maintain their peak condition in case of unexpected events.

Half a day later, the group arrived at the bottom of a black cliff. The cliff was pitch black, and the base was entirely shrouded in white mist, making it impossible to see anything else.

"The entrance to the Primordial Earth Palace should be right here!"

Wan Shui Laozu’s hoarse voice sounded, as his gaze sharply turned to the sky. Three or five dark figures swiftly descended beside them, stirring up a layer of powerful airwaves.

"Friends from the Celestial Travel Sect, you arrived quickly!"

An elder in black robes stepped out and looked at Wan Shui Laozu, speaking with a faint expression. Although he appeared friendly, Chu Ming and the others could sense a coldness deep in his eyes.

"Arrive early, die early!"

A wild laugh came from above as if the space was torn by a giant hand. From within, five people emerged, led by a middle-aged man with abundant hair at his temples, looking as if it exploded from the sides of his face.

The middle-aged man’s gaze swept past Wan Shui Laozu and rested on Ancient Sword Peak, within his eyes, a hint of layered knives appeared, making Chu Ming and others’ eyes ache from the sight.

"Ancient Sword Peak, long time no see!"

The middle-aged man was none other than Po Wu from the Blue Mountain Sect, known as the Illusory Blade Demon in the Golden Sand Domain. He and Ancient Sword Peak had fought once twenty years ago but the battle ended without a victor.

"You are not my opponent!"

Ancient Sword Peak shook his head calmly and said in a casual tone as if stating a trivial matter.

"Hehe, whether or not I’m your opponent, only a fight will tell. But today, we have more important matters to attend to, we shall fight another day!"

Then, Po Wu shifted his gaze to the black-robed elder, smiling as he spoke.

"I didn’t expect the renowned Black Blood True Man to be sent from Black Moon Mountain!"

"Renowned, I dare not claim that title. Compared to you, I am indeed old!"

Black Blood True Man laughed, not taking Po Wu’s words as flattery. Po Wu’s notorious reputation in the Golden Sand Domain overshadowed his by far.

However, although the three major sects constantly fought within the Golden Sand Domain, they were united in their mission to the Primordial Earth Palace. After all, to them, the Celestial Travel Sect was an outsider.

"I didn’t expect old friends to arrive so quickly!"

A faint voice echoed from the void, followed by a fiery red light tearing through space, and a massive fire-red beast emerged from the void, scanning its surroundings with a gaze that exuded a subtle pressure on everyone.

The red beast was around a hundred meters tall, its head resembling a small hill, with fiery red eyes emitting scorching heat. Underneath it were four sturdy paws, which slightly shifted, causing the surrounding space to fracture.

"Sun Moon Lake Fireman, it is indeed you this time!"

Seeing the newcomer, Wan Shui Laozu laughed, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Wan Shui True Man, it’s been over a decade. You may not be my match anymore!"

The Sun Moon Lake Fireman’s enormous eyes showed a trace of apprehension as he spoke slowly.

Wan Shui Laozu did not respond, his gaze sweeping to the entrance of the Primordial Earth Palace. There was still an hour left until it opened.

"Now, let me introduce the geniuses from the three sects!"

Wan Shui Laozu looked up at Ancient Sword Peak who stood there with a calm demeanor and spoke resignedly.

"These three sects have roughly equal power in the Golden Sand Domain, but the Blue Mountain Sect is slightly stronger overall. Thus, they sent four people this time, while Sun Moon Lake and Black Moon Mountain each sent only three."

Wan Shui Laozu explained, and Chu Ming and the others followed his gaze towards the Blue Mountain Sect.

Aside from Po Wu, the Blue Mountain Sect had two young men and two young women, among whom the most striking was the girl standing at the front.

The girl was dressed in a purple robe, her eyes full of arrogance, with a hint of bloodlust beneath her gaze.

"She is Jiang Wudi, the most outstanding disciple of the Blue Mountain Sect’s Inner Sect. Despite being a girl, she has a man’s name. Her most remarkable feature is her physical body. If I’m not mistaken, Mo Ling is no match for her, only Chu Ming can compete with her."

Wan Shui Laozu spoke plainly, without any regard for Mo Ling’s face. If he concealed the truth now, Mo Ling might later lose more than just his pride but his life.

"As for Sun Moon Lake, the most formidable disciples are two brothers: Hao Reran and Hao Yueqing. They excel in teamwork. Though they may not be as strong as Jiang Wudi, they are difficult to deal with due to their teamwork!"

Hao Reran was a young man in a white robe, his face square and filled with righteous aura, while Hao Yueqing, in a blue robe, looked oddly pale with a hint of effeminacy in his eyes.

"In Black Moon Mountain, the strongest disciple is Hei Wu, a direct disciple of the Black Blood True Man. He has killed multiple True Dao Invincible Martial Artists consecutively. His strength should be slightly stronger than Ning Fei now!"

Hei Wu was dressed all in black, with patches of black marks on his face, looking extremely eerie. His whole body exuded a chilling aura.

Hearing Wan Shui Laozu’s introduction, Chu Ming and the others felt a faint pressure. The Golden Sand Domain, being closer to the center of the continent, had slightly stronger geniuses compared to the Celestial Realm.

As Wan Shui Laozu introduced the three sects’ disciples, Po Wu, Black Blood True Man, and the Sun Moon Lake Fireman also introduced the members of the Celestial Travel Sect to their disciples.

"As for Chu Ming of the Celestial Travel Sect, Wudi, kill him if you can, but do not provoke him without absolute certainty!"

Po Wu glanced at Chu Ming, a peculiar look deep in his eyes. In Chu Ming, he saw a shadow of Ancient Sword Peak.

He did not expect Jiang Wudi to kill Chu Ming, as both were more or less equally matched. Killing each other would not be easy for either of them.

Time passed, and an hour quickly went by!

Suddenly, the sky trembled, and a terrifying light gate descended from the void. The space quivered as Black Blood True Man, Po Wu, and the others, all stared fervently at the light gate.

"You all go in now!"

Po Wu glanced at the four people behind him, including Jiang Wudi, and slowly said. Jiang Wudi was the most formidable genius in Blue Mountain Sect’s history, and Po Wu naturally hoped she could gain something in the Primordial Earth Palace.

After the Blue Mountain Sect, it was Black Moon Mountain, followed by Sun Moon Lake, and lastly, the Celestial Travel Sect.

"Be cautious on this trip!"

Wan Shui Laozu instructed the group.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Streams of powerful wind streaked through the sky, and Chu Ming and the others disappeared into the light gate.
