Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Having finally gotten to see Gemstone Elder, the others watching from the sidelines couldn't help but look on with envy at Wan Yi and the others.

Many people in line craned their necks, trying their best to see what the Gemstone Elder looked like.

The other Sky Cities standing nearby all felt like they'd hit the jackpot!
Having come all this way, to be able to face the Gem Elder so closely—he is an elder of the council, and also said to be one of the earliest founding members of Sky City—to even catch a glimpse of him is a rare privilege.

The charm of the Gemstone Elder is indeed very high.

Its mere appearance is enough to attract a large crowd, drawing people to gather and take a look.

"Even if the council doesn't make any decisions, just by existing, it should be able to determine a lot of things, right?"

Chen Ye directly revealed the hidden truth.

Even though Gemstone Elder didn't admit it, Chen Ye was certain that the council could decide far more things than he had imagined.

"You are very smart."

The Gem Elder looked at Chen Ye, then suddenly took out a gem from his pocket and smiled:
"Since you have a connection with the Tulip Clan Head, then I will give you this small gift. Today, I have met some new friends and new faces, as well as such an outstanding partner. This gem will definitely be useful when you reach the Holy Mountain."

After saying that, the Gemstone Elder casually waved his hand, and a blue jade-like gemstone immediately appeared in his hand.

"This gem..."

Chen Ye immediately sensed that the interior of this blue jade stone contained extremely pure and vast spatial power, which could be used continuously without any consumption. Only a supreme being who had completely mastered the laws of the [Space System] could create such an item.

"That...that could be the legendary blue jade? Senior Gemstone Elder, is such a gift something you can just give away casually?"

The older and more knowledgeable Taoist Yuxu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Hehe, anyway, I'm in a good mood today. And this young friend's aura is not simple. He has been to the Void Realm and solved some thorny problems. So I think he must be able to achieve great things here. But at the same time, I can also see that you will encounter some problems on your way to the Holy Mountain. So I'm giving you this small gift as a token of our greeting."

The Gem Elder was completely unpretentious, saying whatever came to mind. This attitude made it seem impossible for anyone to refuse his kindness. In fact, everything the Gem Elder gave was of the highest quality and there was no reason to refuse.

After all, even someone of Gemstone Elder's caliber has taken the initiative to extend goodwill, which is absolutely not something to refuse. Even if one knows that they do not have the rank to receive such a benefit, they still have to accept it.

Even if the Gemstone Elder had other plans or wanted to orchestrate something, he couldn't refuse.

Chen Ye took a deep breath, accepted the stone, and bowed, saying:

"Thank you for your kind gift, senior!"

"Hehe, Wan Yi is also a true dragon descendant that I have high hopes for. You helped him return here and even met me. That must be fate."

The old man with the gemstone smiled and directly revealed the fates of everyone present.

"It seems... nothing that happens in Sky City can escape the Council's notice!"

Wan Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"It shouldn't be the council's eyes, it's just that the Gem Elder could see it."

Chen Yedao.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've met such an interesting junior. I'll give you this blue jade stone from now on. If you encounter a crisis, pour all your spiritual energy into it, and it will help you and bring you into my domain. But I hope you won't use this function. After all, my domain is in a very remote place. Using the blue jade stone, it's easy to get in, but it won't be so easy to get out."

Gemstone expert once again revealed another use for blue jade.

This statement came out.

Even Chen Ye couldn't help but feel greatly surprised.

He never expected that the Gemstone Elder would give him such a valuable gift.

You should know that if this blue jade stone is infused with all its spirituality as an activation, it can travel to the realm where the Gem Elder resides!

Then.

To obtain blue jade, one must be among the most trusted members of the Gemstone Elder's inner circle.

Chen Ye took a deep breath and then said, "Thank you for your kindness, Gem Elder. I will accept this gift."

The Gemstone Elder laughed heartily:
"No problem. Alright, I need to go somewhere else too. I haven't used the teleportation array in a long time. Those old guys won't let me use my own abilities in this area, so I still need to rely on the teleportation array!"

After saying that, Gemstone Elder strode into the teleportation array.

Accompanied by a flowing light screen.

The figure of the Gemstone Elder also disappeared from this place, leaving only the people queuing behind him with a lingering sense of wonder.

Their gazes toward Chen Ye were filled with envy.

I actually received a gift from the Gem Elder!
Of course.

Several other malicious gazes fell upon Chen Ye, clearly still preoccupied with the legendary blue jade.

Of course, there's a saying that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime," but Chen Ye knew that no matter what he faced, he had to accept this blue jade.

"That guy actually managed to get blue jade..."

"That's a legendary treasure, invaluable. Countless people dream of owning such a divine spatial teleportation device their entire lives."

"It is said that the Blue Jade Stone can instantly teleport to any location when in danger, and when it encounters fatal damage, it can also create a shield to protect you. It is said that even the high-ranking members of the council cannot decipher this level of protective equipment."

"Isn't that obvious? That was given to us by the Gem Elder; it's definitely not an ordinary item!"

The subsequent conversations completely revealed their desire to obtain the blue jade.

at the same time.

Several other gazes fell upon Chen Ye, secretly applying some tracking functionality, as if trying to see where Chen Ye planned to go.

Faced with this situation, Chen Ye frowned slightly.

Clearly aware that the situation was not going in their favor, they took steps to guide it.

Jiufeng tugged at Chen Ye's sleeve, her expression grave, and said:

“I can sense that they have designs on the blue jade on you. You must be careful. When you go to the Holy Mountain, you must travel with us. That way, you will at least have someone to rely on.”

"No problem." Chen Ye nodded, realizing Jiu Feng's kindness.

At this moment.

There were only a few teleportation arrays left, and we had already arrived at Chen Ye's side.

Chen Ye and the others stepped forward, paid fifteen gold coins, and chose the Holy Mountain.

There was no other way; one had to announce their destination before heading to the corresponding teleportation area. This meant that any member in the queue, as long as they had sharp ears, would know exactly where Chen Ye was going.

"How about... we call it quits this time? Let's return to our territory first, lay low for a while, and then head to the Holy Mountain again when the time is right?"

Jiufeng kindly offered a suggestion, but she hesitated noticeably when she stepped into the teleportation array. As long as the teleportation hadn't taken place, she could always exit and get her money back.

After all, even the few Foundation members who manage the teleportation array could see through such a small matter.

and.

After Gemstone Elder clearly expressed his intentions, the members of these foundations obviously dared not cause any trouble.

The foundation is targeting Wanyi.

Instead of Chen Ye.

Even though Chen Ye and Wan Yi were working together, they knew they couldn't just target this guy indiscriminately.

Chen Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, saying:
"It's alright. Coming to Sky City, we were bound to face these kinds of things. Besides, if news from Sky City spreads even faster after a while, we'll still encounter more similar situations when we return. While the news hasn't spread yet, we'll have fewer opponents to deal with."

At this moment, Wan Yi heard Chen Ye's analysis, his eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying:
“Young brother, that makes sense. Information spreads very quickly in Sky City. After all, many things that happen here can be transmitted in an instant, and many friends and relatives will know about them. Moreover, everyone here has very strong perception abilities. If we go to the Holy Mountain now, not many people will follow us. The problem is that if we wait until later to go to the Holy Mountain, even many beings there will know about our situation, which would be even more troublesome.”

Jiufeng thought for a moment, then sighed:
"That makes sense. If we're going to the holy mountain, we should act as soon as possible!"

Everyone nodded.

Subsequently.

Proceed to the altar of the teleportation array to confirm.

"Do you confirm your trip to the holy mountain?"

A woman wearing a veil glanced at Chen Ye and the others, and asked in a cool tone.

"confirm."

Everyone answered in unison.

"Okay, we are now activating the teleportation array and confirming the teleportation area for you—the Holy Mountain!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the teleportation array suddenly erupted with a terrifying energy fluctuation, enveloping Chen Ye and the others.

They chose to teleport together; as long as they were in the same group, they could all step into the teleportation array together.

Boom! ! !
After a loud bang, a dazzling light screen landed on Chen Ye and the others' shoulders. After a spatial distortion, they instantly arrived in a completely new area.

Got here.

There is also an ancient teleporter that spans this area, appearing incredibly magnificent.

Look from afar.

There stood a sacred mountain, rising from the distant clouds, dazzlingly bright. Endless golden light surrounded the mountain, making it appear holy and serene, like a place belonging only to a fairyland, filled with the radiance of laws and protected by the divine.

"Is that the sacred mountain?"

When Chen Ye first saw the sacred mountain, the only word to describe the feeling it evoked was "mysterious".

The towering peaks almost reach into the clouds, blending seamlessly with the horizon.

The sacred mountain was surrounded by endless radiance of laws, which protected this place.

The teleportation array the group arrived at was quite ancient.

It's not as grand as it used to be; it looks somewhat damaged.

After all, fighting to a certain extent is permitted in the Holy Mountain area. It is not subject to the constraints of the courts, and the council of Sky City is not so idle. They will definitely open up certain public areas as places where people can fight, so that people who don't like each other can find a place to vent their anger.

It's always better to guide than to block.

After all, setting some rules too rigidly is not a good thing.

In places like the Holy Mountain, as long as there is no damage to the entire Holy Mountain and the fighting only takes place in the outer area, almost no one will care about such trivial matters.

Unless the fighting gets too intense and damages the sacred mountain, in which case members of the council, or even the courts, will intervene to punish the matter.

"We intend to use our own abilities to go to the holy mountain."

"Young man, flying is not prohibited in this area of ​​the sacred mountain."

"You should have the corresponding ability, right? Should I summon the divine phoenix to send you on your way?"

Jiufeng asked.

"No need, I can fly myself."

Although Chen Ye was very interested in Jiu Feng's ability to summon a divine phoenix, since he also possessed the ability to summon, he figured that since flying was not prohibited in this area, Chen Ye could release his [Spirit Angel] status and fly in this region.

Think of this.

Chen Ye was suddenly enveloped by a wing of light.

next second.

A unique aura belonging to the [Spirit Angel] surged from his body, and he soared into the air.

"So fast!"

Upon noticing Chen Ye's speed, Jiu Feng summoned her own divine phoenix, seemingly wanting to challenge him.

A phoenix's cry immediately echoed in the open area.

Nine Phoenixes rode on the broad back of the divine phoenix, suddenly soaring ninety thousand miles into the sky, instantly catching up with Chen Ye's progress.

"These guys, they're all really good runners!" Wan Yi's lips twitched slightly.

Then, he summoned a flying spirit, which carried Wan Yi's body and kept up with the progress of Shen Feng and Chen Ye.

As for Taixu Daoist and Dongxu Daoist, they summoned a flying sword and flew on it, just like sword immortals in a fantasy novel.

Their flying swords transformed into streaks of light, piercing through the vast expanse of heaven and earth. They flew at great speed, quickly catching up with Jiu Feng and Chen Ye.

"Young man, I never knew you were an angel!"

The voice of the Jade Void Daoist came from beside Chen Ye.

Chen Ye was enveloped in the radiance of a six-winged angel, and he flew past at an incredible speed, dazzling everyone around him.

Even the Jade Void Daoist was surprised by what he saw.

He never expected that Chen Ye, though not particularly powerful, would actually be a six-winged angel! (End of Chapter)
