Chapter 938 - 848: Chaoyang Sect Leader
As his body adapted to the temperature changes all around, he began to delve deeper within.Upon entering, he sensed the presence of powerful demonic Qi surrounding him.
"There are sealed Demon Clan members here!"
Duan Gujin gasped, releasing his Divine Sense to investigate the surroundings.
After a while, he discovered a massive camp ahead, with dozens of Human Warriors patrolling within it.
These Human Warriors occupied an important valley in the Wanshi Mountain range; anyone wishing to enter the mountains must pass through that valley.
The Wanshi Mountain's surroundings were filled with towering peaks, reaching thousands of meters high, with heavy snow still accumulating on the summits.
Duan Gujin inspected closely and realized that the attire those martial artists wore was similar to the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect's.
"Should I sneak in quietly? Or introduce myself to the disciples of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect outside and inform them that I want to venture inside?"
He pondered for a moment, deciding that it might be better to greet the disciples outside from the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect.
If he managed to build good relations with those disciples ahead, perhaps he could join them later in venturing into the Wanshi Mountains.
Duan Gujin released his full Martial Saint aura, gradually approaching the camp of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect disciples.
The Immortal Sect disciples quickly sensed his presence, releasing their Divine Sense, and upon confirming Duan Gujin was a Martial Saint Second Layer, they promptly reported this to a Martial Saint elder stationed within the camp.
That Martial Saint elder immediately appeared before Duan Gujin along with four disciples, inquiring of his purpose there.
Duan Gujin replied, "Elder, I am a Martial Saint from another Plane. I am traveling through the Chaotic Ancient Plane, heard some situations were occurring here, and curiosity drove me to explore further!"
The elder listened to Duan Gujin's words, his eyes flickering momentarily.
"You are from another Plane? Which one?"
The sect leader of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect had previously instructed the victorious Martial Saint disciples to explain about nearby Planes to the elders, helping them gain insight into their surroundings.
"I come from Yuanzhen Continent, the lowest realm. During the Dimension Advancement Competition, I achieved remarkable results. I also heard your sect had substantial success; perhaps I even recognize some of your competitors!"
Duan Gujin spoke calmly.
The elder chuckled dryly, his mind racing as he considered Duan Gujin's words.
Although those disciples who participated in the Dimension Advancement Competition often explained much to the elders, the elders did not experience these firsthand, thus unable to grasp certain details.
Before this elder, hearing Duan Gujin's words seemed dubious; he couldn't discern how much truth or falsehood was in them.
"If only there were other competitors here!"
The elder couldn't determine the truth and was momentarily indecisive.
"Are you simply here for exploration?"
After a while, the elder inquired, puzzled.
"Indeed, I heard there'd been earthquakes here, suggesting the potential escape of sealed demons, so I planned to take a look!"
Duan Gujin spoke calmly.
"What's there to see?"
Annoyed, the elder remained bewildered as to why Duan Gujin wanted to investigate a place where demons were sealed.
"I know there are many types of demons in the world, each with distinct appearances and abilities. I want to see what the demons here look like and what capabilities they possess, simply to expand my knowledge!"
Duan Gujin answered.
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the elder's eyes flickered.
He found himself unchallenged by Duan Gujin's reasoning.
"You cannot go inside now; it's dangerous. If you wish to know what the situation inside truly is, you must wait until our troops arrive! The Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect's main force is about to arrive!"
The elder, unable to make up his mind, decided he should hold Duan Gujin until the sect's main force arrived.
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin immediately agreed, having previously considered this option.
"When the Martial Saints who participated in the Dimension Advancement Competition arrive, tell them that the seventh-place finalist, Duan Gujin, has toured here and is exploring to broaden his perspective! If the Martial Saints from the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect are willing, he can join them in a month to enter the Ascension Academy together!"
Duan Gujin continued.
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the elder became further convinced that what he said was probably true.
No matter the truth, when the disciples from the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect arrive, everything will be clear.
Thus, the elder promptly ordered his disciples to attend to Duan Gujin courteously.
Duan Gujin didn't trouble the disciples of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect. He had planned to blend in with them; now the opportunity presented itself, he wouldn't let it pass easily.
Duan Gujin was guesting in one of the camps of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect.
Time slowly passed, and after half a day, he received word from the elder he had conversed with earlier.
"Friend, the sect leader of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect invites you over!"
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin's face subtly changed; he hadn't expected the sect leader to summon him.
This outcome wasn't within his prior predictions, but given the circumstances, he could only brace himself.
Following the elder's lead, he swiftly met the sect leader of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect.
He had previously learned that the sect leader was Tang Chaoyang and knew his reputation was fairly decent within the Chaotic Ancient Plane.
Of course, Duan Gujin wasn't entirely convinced by the world's assessment.
In Yuanzhen Continent, the martial artists there revered Zhan Changsheng like a deity, and Duan Gujin, having interacted with him, knew all too well what kind of person he was.
Reportedly, Tang Chaoyang was over 100 years old, with a cultivation at the Shattering Sky Eighth Layer.
Given his age and in this Plane, achieving the Shattering Sky Eighth Layer was commendable.
In the Chaotic Ancient Plane, once cultivation reached the Breakthrough realm, one could use special passages to enter the Divine World.
"This is Master Tang, our sect leader!"
The elder quickly introduced Tang Chaoyang to Duan Gujin.
"I'm Duan Gujin, I've met Master Tang!"
Duan Gujin promptly responded.
Despite surpassing a hundred years, Tang Chaoyang's well-kept appearance resembled a middle-aged man.
"You are Duan Gujin, ranked seventh in the Divine Realm Plane Promotion Competition?"
Tang Chaoyang asked, puzzled.
"Yes, I have the Divine World-awarded name tag! These tags can confirm my identity!"
Duan Gujin immediately retrieved the Divine World name tag from his storage ring.
Tang Chaoyang swiftly instructed a nearby disciple to take Duan Gujin's name tag and soon imparted his Divine Sense into it.
After a while, Tang Chaoyang confirmed the authenticity of Duan Gujin's identity tag.
