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

Chapter 474 The First Trial of the Ancient Road of the Human Race

Lu Zhou left, departing from Beidou once again. Before everyone's eyes, he rode a dragon to the heavens and fought on the ancient road, leaving behind a series of legends about the Overlord Immortal for the cultivators of Beidou.

He left, but Beidou didn't become quiet or lose the various topics that the gossip-loving netizens often talked about just because he lost a powerful immortal.

The universe will never stop turning just because someone is missing.

It won't become lifeless just because one person leaves.

Whether it was Ye Fan, who returned from eternity, or the cultivators who came to Beidou from the depths of the starry sky one after another because of the path to immortality, they all stirred up one hot topic and movement after another in Beidou.

The vast universe, darkness and cold, seems to be an eternal melody.

No one knows just how vast the universe is.

I wonder if this universe has an end?
If so, what is its end?
Life is but a hundred years, as fleeting as a blade of grass in autumn. Who is striving to cross the river? And who is simply drifting with the tide?

The ages pass by in a flash, and the boundless starry sky has buried countless floating creatures that never see the blue sky.
The road is under your feet, and it is also in the starry sky. It connects star fields and gathers outstanding people and great rulers, leading them to the ultimate imperial pass.

Conquest, slaughter, settling down, exhaustion, death.
These are the main themes of this struggle to cross the river.

"The Tomb of the God King Jiang Yue?"

"He is a god-king of the Jiang family of the Big Dipper."

"Alas, I never imagined he would perish here, buried in such an ordinary little mound, leaving only a stone tablet to tell those who come after him that there once was such a person, who also traversed this road."

As Lu Zhou looked at the tomb before him, he heard the slightly wistful voice of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

He stood on the back of a mythical roc whose entire body was cast in gold. Although he was still handsome and awe-inspiring, he could not hide the weariness and hardship that had accompanied him on his journey.

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the Divine Knight Kane rang out from the other side of Lu Zhou.

He held a long spear and sat astride a Qilin beast, his entire body covered in armor, with only his eyes showing.

Both his spear and his armor still bore the marks of the great battle.

The blood that had not yet dried told people that his journey had not been peaceful. Even though he had become a saint, he had experienced countless bloody battles.

"Once you embark on this path, your life and death are in the hands of fate. To have a tombstone and a small mound of earth to be buried with is already considered quite good."

"A road built on piles of bones" is the most accurate description of this road.

Have you not seen how many outstanding talents have walked this path, and when they fell on this path, they left not even a bone or a piece of blood-stained clothing?

Or perhaps they would perish in the belly of a rare and ferocious beast, becoming its food.

Or perhaps they didn't even have time to react before being slapped to pieces by some strange and powerful creature the moment they stepped out of the teleportation array, leaving them with no complete corpse.

There are far too many cases like this.

Lu Zhou didn't say much. Soon after, they mounted their horses and continued on their way.

On this unknown ancient star, they search for the path to the next ancient star.

At this time, almost five years had passed since Lu Zhou left Beidou.

Initially, only Lu Zhou and his Holy Spirit Dragon set off together.

They swept through the enemy lines, unstoppable and incredibly fast. No one could pose any danger to this invincible duo of man and dragon.

It's no exaggeration to say that even now, Lu Zhou and his group have been sweeping all the way through.

They spent most of their time searching for the five-colored altar leading to the next section.

Therefore, even though the Divine Knight and the Golden-Winged Roc King had set off some time earlier than Lu Zhou, they were quickly caught up by him.

Lu Zhou caught up with the Golden-Winged Roc King first.

Calculating the time, it was just over a month after Lu Zhou left Beidou.

At that time, the Golden-Winged Roc King was on a desolate ancient star, where he was besieged by a group of savage beasts.

Many of the savage beasts among them had reached the semi-saint realm.

Deep within the distant mountains, a sacred beast that has reached the Saint Realm is lurking, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Zhou did not make a move. He could tell that it would not be difficult for the Golden-Winged Roc King and the exotic Golden Roc he rode to escape the battlefield.

Even if that sacred beast really made a move, it wouldn't be able to save the Golden-Winged Roc King.

This is the Golden-Winged Roc King, honing his skills.

Later, the sacred beast seemed to get angry, angry that its little brother hadn't been able to defeat the Golden-Winged Roc King after so long.

Not only did they fail to capture him, but they also lost many of their underlings to the Golden-Winged Roc King and his mount, the Golden Roc.

This enraged the sacred beast. It roared to the sky and stretched out a huge claw that seemed capable of blotting out the sun, slapping it towards the Golden-Winged Roc King and his companions.

They wanted to beat them to death.

This strike was earth-shattering, shattering the void itself, and the killing intent it exuded made the entire ancient star tremble three times.

No one doubts that this strike could easily crush more than one half-saint.

However, faced with such a terrifying attack from that sacred beast...

The Golden-Winged Roc King laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Well done!"

Instead of retreating, he rode his golden roc and charged towards the beast's claw.

The battle blood within the Golden-Winged Roc King was burning, and blazing golden flames rose from his golden eyes.

In the end, the Golden-Winged Roc King still failed to break through the barrier of the Holy Realm.

He was no match for that sacred beast.

But even that sacred beast couldn't defeat the Golden-Winged Roc King.

After a fierce battle, they were both severely injured.

The Golden-Winged Roc King plans to retreat temporarily.

I plan to find a place on this ancient star to recuperate before borrowing that sacred beast and its minions to continue honing my skills.

It was at this moment that Lu Zhou appeared.

Without Lu Zhou lifting a finger, the Holy Spirit Dragon beneath him simply whipped the bear-like holy beast, which had a single silver horn on its forehead, to pieces with a flick of its tail.

Blood and rotten flesh rained down from the sky, crushing and drying up mountain ranges.
Then they set off together.

During this process, Lu Zhou also learned from the Golden-Winged Roc King that the Golden Roc he rode, which had also reached the semi-saint realm, was subdued by the Golden-Winged Roc King on an ancient star during his journey half a year ago.

In the time that followed, they traversed one star system after another.

During this period, there were constant battles and bloodshed.

Although Lu Zhou was still pushing forward relentlessly, he also gave the Golden-Winged Roc King and the Golden Roc he rode plenty of opportunities to hone their skills.

And so they continued on their journey, moving ever forward.

Two years after Lu Zhou embarked on this path, they caught up with the Divine Knight Kane, who was riding a Qilin beast and fighting alone ahead.

That Qilin beast was a savage beast that Kane had tamed many years ago in the Great Wilderness of Beidou.

Its situation is similar to that of the dragon horse. Although it cannot match the dragon horse in terms of overall potential, it is also formed from the essence of heaven and earth, born and nurtured by nature, and can be considered as a lineage of the Holy Spirit. It can be said to have a profound foundation and a broad future.

Its combat power is astonishing, even stronger than that of Ryoma at this time. Even with Kane's combat power, it took a lot of effort to subdue it.

Over the years, thanks to Kane's nurturing and the trials it has endured alongside Kane,
The Qilin beast's combat power was even more terrifying. Although it had not yet broken through to become a sacred beast, it was not far off.

It was just one opportunity away.

The days that followed were the days when the three of them and their three beasts set off together to fight.

With such a combination, even though the road is fraught with danger, with countless powerful individuals, including many ferocious beasts and savage creatures that have reached the Saint level, or strange beings that Lu Zhou and his companions have never heard of before, they are still able to overcome this challenge.

This did nothing to stop Lu Zhou and his group.

They were swept aside by Lu Zhou and his group.

They were ruthless, killing gods and ghosts alike.

In fact, most of the time, Lu Zhou didn't even make a move.

The obstacle was too weak, so neither Lu Zhou nor his Holy Spirit Dragon wanted to make a move.

With just Kane, the Golden-Winged Roc King, and their mounts, the Qilin and the Golden Roc, they could quickly crush those who were blocking their way.

Lu Zhou would only intervene when Kane and his group were no match for him and faced a major crisis, then sweep them away with overwhelming force and end the battle.

In this way, Kane and Golden-Winged Roc King can also hone their skills.

Besides these, Lu Zhou and his companions also discovered some traces left by old acquaintances along the way.

They were Ji Haoyue, the Central Emperor, his brother-in-law Nan Yao, as well as Xi Pusa and Pang Bo, among others.
They are just traces they left behind.

Nothing else.

Lu Zhou did not catch up with them.

Judging by the time, he estimated that some of his old acquaintances, such as Pang Bo, Nan Yao, and Ji Haoyue, might have once again left this ancient road.

Just like in the original work, they took a trip along this ancient road to the Eternal Starfield.

As for the Central Emperor and the Western Bodhisattva?

Perhaps that's true.

Days passed by like this. They fought and honed their skills, but most of their time was spent searching for the small five-colored altar that led to the next stage of the journey.

To this day, they have arrived at this place that was mentioned in the original work.

Lu Zhou was quite impressed by this.

He knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, once they arrived here, they would be close to reaching the giant star city known as the first pass of the ancient human path!

After some effort, Lu Zhou and his group successfully found the Five-Colored Altar on this ancient star, which led them to the next destination.

Before activating the five-colored altar and leaving the ancient star, Lu Zhou glanced at his system panel one last time.

As expected, the system panel still displayed the message that check-in was not possible here.

Along the way, Lu Zhou had paid attention to every star he passed.

However, there wasn't a single star that met the conditions for him to sign in.

Lu Zhou pondered that perhaps he could only sign in when Lu Zhou reached the first checkpoint of the ancient human road.

Time flew by, and sure enough, Lu Zhou and his companions traveled along this path for almost another month, crossing dozens of five-colored altars and traversing an unknown distance across the heavens.
They finally appeared in a special starry sky.

There is a huge stone monument that stands tall in the starry sky, guiding those who arrive here.

From a distance, they could see a graceful figure riding a phoenix, standing not far from the signpost, examining it closely.

This was the first time Lu Zhou and his companions had encountered a living, breathing stranger since embarking on this journey.

Lu Zhou and the others were pleasantly surprised by this.

Over the past few years, those seemingly monotonous journeys have become quite torturous.

No wonder even Ye Fan and Long Ma couldn't stand it in the original story.

"Could she also be someone who embarked on this path?"

Both the Divine Knight and the Golden-Winged Roc King looked at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou nodded and smiled.

"She must have arrived here via another side road."

"In this starry sky, there has never been just one branch road leading to the first pass of the ancient human race's path."

As Lu Zhou and his group were watching the woman, she also noticed their presence.

She immediately turned to look at Lu Zhou and the others.

It was only at this moment that Lu Zhou and the others noticed that the woman's face was covered, and their appearance could not be seen.

Of course, this obviously does not include Lu Zhou, who had already mastered the Origin Heaven Divine Eye many years ago.

When Lu Zhou saw through the woman's appearance, a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, which were visible through her veil.

They seemed surprised that Lu Zhou could ride a powerful Holy Spirit.

The surprise flashed in her eyes for a moment and then vanished.

She clearly had no intention of contacting or exchanging ideas with Lu Zhou and his group here.

She could sense that Lu Zhou and his group were no ordinary people.

Across the void, she nodded to Lu Zhou and the others, then rode the phoenix beneath her and flew rapidly forward.

This was just a minor incident during Lu Zhou and his group's journey.

After the woman left, Lu Zhou and the others also came to the giant monument to examine it.

Before long, they also mounted their mounts and set off again, following the guidance of the stone tablet, soaring through the heavens.

For the rest of the journey, they saw another signpost almost every so often.

Besides that, they also encountered other monks.

They traveled alone or in groups of several.

Most of them rode extraordinary mounts, which trampled the starry sky and made the nearby heavens tremble wherever they went.

Guided by the stone tablet towering in the starry sky, they converged from all directions, like hundreds of rivers flowing into a great river, and finally all flew forward in the same direction.

It's unclear whether it's because Lu Zhou and his group didn't possess the same kind of "controversial" physique as Ye Tiandi.

Or perhaps it's because everyone they encountered sensed that Lu Zhou and his group seemed to be quite extraordinary.

Furthermore, there might be other reasons as well.

In short, even some guys, who are obviously the kind of domineering and arrogant types, act like they're the most important person in the world.

However, no one came to provoke or do anything provocative towards Lu Zhou and his group.

Along the way, Lu Zhou and his companions did not even encounter any friction between other people.

After traveling for some time, they continued on their journey.

Everyone could see an ancient city rising in the distant sky.

That was the first pass on the ancient road of the human race!
