The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 451 Unexpected Events and Surprises

This is an exceptionally peaceful little world, and few people know exactly where it is located.

The Heavenly Court's headquarters, Heavenly Village, is located in this peaceful and tranquil little world.

The village wasn't large; even after Ye Fan and the big black dog joined, it only had a few dozen households.

Although the Heavenly Court has few people, no force dares to underestimate it.

Especially after the destruction of Hell and the Human World, which were also three ancient killer dynasties, and now with the news of Qi Luo becoming a saint, and Ye Fan and Yan Yixi, who possesses the Goddess Furnace, taking over.

Looking out over this vast Big Dipper constellation, even fewer forces dared to underestimate the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court's profound resources inspire awe.

Under a crooked tree at the entrance of Tianzhi Village, Qi Luo was playing chess with Yan Yixi. In the distant fields, Xiao Nannan, Xiao Que'er, and a group of other children from the Heavenly Court were chasing and playing.

Every now and then, the silvery laughter of little girls could be heard floating in the air above this simple village.

But before long, this idyllic and peaceful scene would be ruined by the distant sounds of barking dogs, neighing horses, and roaring dragons echoing from the mountains and forests.

The "Covering the Sky Calamity Group" has never lived up to its name.

Especially after Black Emperor and Ryoma, who sometimes get so angry that they'll even ambush their own people, met together, their reputations became even more evident.

Whenever the two of them encounter a group, the place they pass through is never short of noise.

Holding a black stone, Qi Luo turned his head speechlessly and glanced at the Black Emperor and Dragon Horse, who were arguing again for some unknown reason in the distant mountains. After a while, he looked towards the direction of the mountain behind the village.

Above the majestic back mountain, a large cauldron floated, its mouth shrouded in clouds and divine light, with a wisp of primordial energy capable of crushing a mountain ridge swirling around it.

This is none other than the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, renowned throughout the Big Dipper.

At this moment, Ye Fan was sitting cross-legged inside the cauldron with his eyes closed, his whole body enveloped in the evolution liquid that had reached the fourth stage.

He is absorbing and refining the essence contained in the precious liquid, transforming it into nutrients for his growth.

"Was that Golden-Winged Roc King really that strong back then? Even Brother Ye almost died to defeat him?"

It was Yan Yixi who spoke, asking Qi Luo, who was sitting opposite him and playing chess with him.

Although the village of the heavens is hidden in this small world, its channels of communication have never been closed.

The news of the Golden-Winged Roc King breaking through the barrier spread to the Heavenly Village almost immediately.

However, Yan Yixi was an outsider. When he followed Lu Zhou to Beidou, the Golden-Winged Roc King had already disappeared to try his luck.

Therefore, this was the first time he had ever heard of a person named Golden-Winged Roc King.

Qi Luo nodded and placed the black piece in his hand on a certain spot on the chessboard, which seemed to have the potential to slay a dragon.

"Those rumors are true. Among Ye Fan's peers, the Golden-Winged Roc King is indeed quite impressive. Back when he fought Ye Fan outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, he already possessed the combat power of the sixth level of the Forbidden Realm."

Hearing Qi Luo say this, Yan Yixi couldn't help but become even more interested in the Golden-Winged Roc King.

The so-called "six forbidden combat powers" are, to be honest, nothing to Yan Yixi, who has witnessed just how monstrous Lu Zhou and Ye Fan are.

But Yan Yixi knew all too well that to possess the combat power of the Six Forbidden Realms at the Four Extremes Realm was an extraordinary talent.

At least when he was at the Four Extremes Realm, he didn't reach this level.

Over the years, he had also learned about the holy sons and daughters of the same generation as Lu Zhou and Ye Fan. Don't be fooled by how some busybodies had touted them as incredibly powerful and extraordinary back then.

In reality, most of the holy sons and daughters of the same generation as Lu Zhou and others, as well as some of the holy sons and daughters of this generation, only had the combat power of the fourth or fifth level when they reached the fourth level of the Four Extremes Realm. Those who touched the combat power of the sixth level were extremely rare.

As far as he knew, among the various Dao lineages on their Ziwei Star, only Yin Tiande, who had already passed away, and Yi Qingwu, who had now become Lu Zhou's Daoist partner, might possess the combat power of the Six Forbidden Realms when they reached the Four Extremes Realm.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

From this perspective, the Golden-Winged Roc King truly deserves to be called a monstrous genius.

He didn't know that the Golden-Winged Roc King wasn't originally this monstrous; at most, he could only be considered one of the more outstanding individuals among the Holy Sons.

It was because after the Golden-Winged Roc King was thoroughly defeated by Lu, and his physical body was destroyed, like the Divine King Body Ji Haoyue, he underwent a small process of destruction and rebirth, which further purified and revived the Heavenly Roc bloodline within him.
This allowed his combat strength to advance by leaps and bounds at that time, barely managing to reach the sixth level of the Forbidden Realm, and becoming a more deserving leader among his peers.

As they chatted, a figure appeared on the distant horizon, flying rapidly toward them.

This attracted the attention of many people in the village of Tenno.

Here, there are few weaklings.

Even a seemingly frail and unassuming old farmer might be able to kill a Holy Lord with a single sword strike.

Yan Yixi turned her head and looked at the person who had come.

It's Old Knife Handle.

At this moment, Old Knife Handle had already flown to their front.

He brought some of the latest intelligence from the outside world.

The part he emphasized most was the aftermath of the Golden-Winged Roc King breaking through the barrier.

There's no other reason; it's because it involves Ye Fan and Lu Zhou.

He said, "Now, wherever there are large gatherings of cultivators, everyone is talking about the great battle that has been awaited for nearly thirty years!"

Yan Yixi was also unaware of this matter, so he sought advice from Lao Daobazi.

Their conversation also attracted the attention of some other people in the village.

Big Black Dog and Longma, those two who love to join in the fun, also came over.

When Black King heard Old Knife Master mention that incident from back then, its head was raised, as if it had been waiting for some exciting event, only to find out it was just this.

He knows this matter inside and out.

It was also one of the witnesses at the time.

"Eh"

"You damn dog, tell me in detail what happened back then, waah!"

Longma is being cheeky again.

Before it could finish speaking, the Black King bit it, and the pain made it lose its ability to howl like a wolf.

To date, apart from Lu Zhou, everyone who has dared to call Black Emperor a dead dog, including Ye Fan, has been viciously bitten by Black Emperor.

In an instant, another chaotic scene unfolded in Tianzhi Village.

Qi Luo and his companions were already quite used to this.

"Many cultivators outside are eagerly anticipating this duel, waiting for the sect leader and the other two to make their stance clear!"

"By the way, not long before I returned, the Golden-Winged Roc King had already made his stance clear; the word 'war' was imprinted above the ancestral land of their Sky Roc clan."

As he said this, Old Knife Handle smiled and pulled a letter of challenge from his pocket.

He presented the challenge to Ziro.

He said that this was given to Ye Fan by Qin Yao at the request of Old Peng Wang.

Old Peng King couldn't contact anyone from the Heavenly Court, nor could he contact Ye Fan.

But Qin Yao was in the Demon Court, and he knew that Qin Yao would definitely be able to contact people in the Heavenly Court and get in touch with Ye Fan.

Therefore, he asked Qin Yao to pass on the challenge letter personally written by the Golden-Winged Roc King to Ye Fan.

In addition, according to Lao Daobazi, Lao Pengwang also asked Yan Ruyu to help deliver another challenge letter to Lu Zhou.

Upon hearing this, Li Tian, ​​who always had a wicked smile on his face, immediately chuckled.

"They seem very confident!"

Everyone present agreed wholeheartedly.

I never expected the old Roc King and that Golden-Winged Roc King to be so fierce. Not to mention Ye Fan, he actually dared to issue a challenge to Lu Zhou as well.

This guy probably really wants to get beaten up by someone again.

While that's what they thought, Yan Yixi and the others also genuinely admired the courage of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

They simply couldn't believe that after the Golden-Winged Roc King emerged from seclusion, the Old Roc King hadn't told him about all the major events that had occurred over the years.

Even so, Xiao Peng Wang still dared to issue a challenge to Ye Fan, and especially to Lu Zhou.

This can only explain two things.

Either because of the overwhelming public opinion, Xiaopeng Wang was in a difficult position and couldn't afford to lose face, so he had no choice but to step forward and fulfill his commitment.

Either Xiao Peng Wang has truly grown to the point where he is not afraid to fight Ye Fan and Lu Zhou at the same level over the years.

Perhaps it's a combination of both.

Qi Luo didn't open the challenge letter; he just glanced at it and put it down.

He glanced at the large cauldron still floating on the mountaintop behind him and slowly opened his mouth with a smile.

"Let's discuss this matter after Ye Fan emerges from seclusion."

Before he could even utter the word "ba," he sensed a violent surge of energy from heaven and earth around him.

At this moment, the cauldron of all things seemed to transform into a black hole, frantically devouring the essence of heaven and earth within this small world.

He'll be out of quarantine soon.

All eyes in the room instantly turned to the large cauldron!

A day later, Ye Fan, who had been in seclusion for half a month using the fourth-stage evolution fluid, learned as soon as he emerged that the Golden-Winged Roc King had successfully passed the test and had issued a challenge to him.

Brother Ye, it's been almost thirty years since we last met. How have you been?

Do you still remember the promise we made back then?

It seems a lot of people are really looking forward to our old duel, hahaha.

After so many years, I'd love to reunite with you all, Brother Ye, for a drink and a chat, and perhaps even ask for your guidance.

Looking at this so-called challenge, Ye Fan smiled.

Because some of the ridiculous and absurd things in the original story are absent, the current Ye Fan has always felt a sense of kinship with the current Golden-Winged Roc King.

The five realms were in an uproar. Not long after the Golden-Winged Roc King made his stance clear, news immediately spread that Ye Fan, the Lord of Heaven, had publicly accepted the challenge.

Immediately afterwards, everyone turned their attention to the Dragon Nest.

It is said that the tyrant immortal is still staying in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, enjoying himself to the fullest.

Those who were just watching the drama didn't have to wait too long.

Almost simultaneously, a king emerged from the Myriad Dragon Nest, claiming he was acting on the orders of the prince consort of the Myriad Dragon Nest to deliver a message.

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. A character for "war" that shimmered with nine-colored divine light leaped out of the paper, soared into the sky, and enveloped the entire region where the Myriad Dragon Nest was located.

Many cultivators felt an immense pressure upon seeing the nine-colored battle character, experiencing difficulty breathing and almost wanting to kneel down.

This scene was astonishing and horrifying.

The Wuji Dao Temple is filled with the melodious sound of a zither, like flowing water amidst towering mountains.

It was the Dragon Girl playing the zither for Lu Zhou.

"Are you really going to accept the challenge?"

The Dragon Girl couldn't understand why Lu Zhou would agree to a battle that was clearly a foregone conclusion.

Over the past few days, she has gained a thorough understanding of just how monstrous Lu Zhou's true combat strength is in all aspects.

She truly understood why more and more cultivators were using the term 'forbidden level' to describe Lu Zhou.

It was precisely because she understood all of this so well that she couldn't understand why Lu Zhou still seemed so interested in accepting the challenge that the Golden-Winged Roc King had sent through someone.

She didn't believe that the Golden-Winged Roc King was a match for Lu Zhou.

She even suspected that the Golden-Winged Roc King was probably no match for Kane, Lu Zhou's follower.

She felt that Lu Zhou was wasting his time by accepting the challenge.

"Ha ha."

Lu Zhou took her hand and smiled.

"You don't understand. Many years ago, the Golden-Winged Roc King gave me a surprise. Now, having successfully broken through the barrier, he has given me another surprise. I really want to see if he will give me an even bigger surprise."

The dragon girl was stunned once again. Three question marks (???) seemed to slowly creep onto her small head.
She didn't quite understand what Lu Zhou meant, and stared at him intently.

But Lu Zhou didn't elaborate, and instead spoke to the Dragon Girl.

"Besides, I'm known for keeping my word."

"I promised him back then that if he successfully passed the challenge, I would give him another chance to challenge me!"

"Since I've promised, I will definitely keep my word."

No one knows better than Lu Zhou just how vast the difference is between the life trajectory of the current Golden-Winged Roc King and that of the Golden-Winged Roc King in the original story.

In the original story, the Golden-Winged Roc King died during his trial, and the old Roc King was heartbroken for a long time because of it.

It was because of this that Long Xiaoque later had her great fortune.

Old Peng King saw some of the Golden-Winged Little Peng King's past in Long Xiao Que, and he projected his feelings for the Golden-Winged Little Peng King onto Long Xiao Que.

And now, the Golden-Winged Roc King has actually succeeded in passing the challenge.
This surprised Lu Zhou immensely.

He said back then that if the Golden-Winged Roc King could break through the nine trials set by his ancestor, he would grant the Golden-Winged Roc King's wish and give him another chance to challenge him.

But when he said that, he really didn't expect that the Golden-Winged Roc King would break the fate set for him in the original work.

Unexpectedly, the Golden-Winged Roc King actually succeeded in passing the challenge.

This surprised and delighted Lu Zhou.

This sparked his intense interest in the Golden-Winged Roc King for the first time, and he really wanted to study the kid properly.

Hearing Lu Zhou say this, the Dragon Girl didn't say anything more.

She simply told Lu Zhou that she would also go with him to the outside of the desolate forbidden land to watch the battle.

The location where they agreed to fight was outside the forbidden ancient land.

Back then, the Golden-Winged Roc King was defeated in a battle outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land when he fought against Ye Fan, who had just broken through to the Four Extremes Realm.

After that, he went to try to pass the Nine Trials of the Sage left by his Great Sage Ancestor.

Clearly, the fact that the Golden-Winged Roc King has chosen this location for the duel again is quite significant.

Perhaps he wants to get back up from where he fell.

But to be honest, Lu Zhou was not optimistic about it.

As Long Nu said, Lu Zhou also believed that this was a battle with no suspense whatsoever.

No.
There should be two matches.

The Golden-Winged Roc King has rather poor eyesight; he always picks on the toughest opponents to run into.

Lu Zhou had already witnessed the scene of the Golden-Winged Roc King being repeatedly beaten by Ye Fan and him.
