Chapter 2427: Ascension Peak

Chapter 2427: Chapter 2427: Ascension Peak

Zhou Yu slowly opened the Ten Thousand Leaves Bamboo.

Then, his Divine Sense attached to it.

Soon, his Heart Spirit was completely immersed in it.

This closed cultivation lasted for a full month.

By the time Zhou Yu emerged again, it was already the day of the Rare Treasure Conference.

On this day, Zhou Yu was contemplating, when suddenly, his eyes snapped open.

Immediately, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He then put away the Ten Thousand Leaves Bamboo, got up, and left the room.

Qi Ling and Hai Long were already waiting outside.

Seeing Zhou Yu come out, Qi Ling quickly stepped forward and took out a gilded invitation glowing with purple-gold light.

"Senior Zhou, this is an invitation sent by the Heavenly Venerate."

"This purple-gold invitation is the highest-level invitation for the Rare Treasure Conference, with this item, one can access all the venues of the Rare Treasure Conference."

"Moreover, today on Ascension Peak, there will be a grand auction held."

"They say it’s to celebrate the opening of the Rare Treasure Conference."

"Additionally, there’s a rumor that treasures will appear in this auction."

Upon hearing Qi Ling and Hai Long speak without interruption.

Zhou Yu faintly smiled and said:

"It seems you two have been doing pretty well here recently, gaining so much information."

Qi Ling exclaimed excitedly:

"Of course."

"These days, we’ve thoroughly explored the surrounding fields."

"We know all about the situation and gossip."

"That’s right."

The two of them wore meaningful smiles on their faces.

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so?"

"So, how many of the Demon Ancestors from the Demon Clan have arrived now?"

Qi Ling immediately said:

"I know this."

"There are seven demon ancestors in total, currently all have arrived except for the Heavenly Demon Wolf Emperor and Nine-tailed Fox Queen."

"Oh?"

"Why haven’t those two come?"

Hai Long spoke:

"I’ve heard that the Heavenly Demon Wolf Emperor is undergoing closed cultivation, not sure what he’s practicing, so he may not attend the Rare Treasure Conference."

"As for the Nine-tailed Fox Queen, there hasn’t been any news about her."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

"Let’s go!"

Qi Ling asked excitedly:

"Senior, are we going to attend the auction at Ascension Peak?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Indeed."

"But we don’t have an invitation, we might not be able to get in," Qi Ling said anxiously.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

I just looked at the invitation earlier.

Each ancestor at the Integration Realm can bring their disciples along.

"From today, you two shall be considered my registered disciples."

"I will guide you in your cultivation afterward."

"Once you reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, I will officially accept you both."

Qi Ling and Hai Long were instantly thrilled upon hearing this.

Both immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Master above, accept our bow."

Even though Zhou Yu only agreed to take them as registered disciples.

It was already enough to make them ecstatic.

After all, Zhou Yu is an ancestor at the Integration Realm.

Furthermore, the attitude of various influential figures toward Zhou Yu during this period is evident to be respectful beyond measure.

Becoming Zhou Yu’s registered disciples is something many dream of and long for.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu voluntarily offered today.

How could the two not be excited?

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, waved casually, and lifted the two up.

"Let’s go."

"Yes, Master!"

Qi Ling and Hai Long immediately followed Zhou Yu, heading towards Ascension Peak.

Under Zhou Yu’s leadership, the three traveled through the air.

Jiulong Mountain originally had a No-fly Array.

However, the No-fly Array only targets cultivators below the Integration Realm.

To ancestors above the Integration Realm, it has no effect.

Thus, when Zhou Yu led the two of them flying to Ascension Peak.

Along the way, it was clear to see several different avenues below crowded with people climbing the mountain.

These people, whether at Foundation Establishment Golden Core or Divinity Transformation and Void Refining, must climb up obediently.

Therefore, being able to fly in the sky itself is a great honor.

Qi Ling and Hai Long couldn’t help but reveal looks of pride.

And above Jiulong Mountain, many patrol teams were present.

When they saw Zhou Yu and the other two flying over, these patrol teams respectfully stopped to salute Zhou Yu.

Soon, Zhou Yu arrived at the range of Ascension Peak.

At this moment, a large group of guards appeared ahead.

The leader among them was an elder, cultivation at the Late Stage of Void Refining Realm.

Upon seeing Zhou Yu arrive, he immediately approached respectfully.

"Please hold, Senior."

"We, juniors, are ordered by the Heavenly Venerate Demon Ancestor to verify identities here, please present your identification token, Senior."

Without saying a word, Zhou Yu directly threw the invitation over.

The elder took the invitation, glanced at it, then immediately said respectfully:

"So it’s Senior Zhou."

"I apologize for any offense earlier."

"Senior Zhou must be here for the auction, right?"

"Let me personally escort the Senior to the venue."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Lead the way."

Under the elder’s lead, the party flew towards Ascension Peak.

At a distance of several hundred miles, Zhou Yu saw a majestic peak towering into the clouds.

That is Ascension Peak.

At the top of Ascension Peak, there are large sections of pavilions and palaces.

Among them, the one at the highest point is also the largest palace on Ascension Peak, is the venue for this auction.

Along the way, the elder continually introduced to Zhou Yu.

"This palace is named Treasure Hall."

"Around Treasure Hall, two Heavenly Venerates, Miao Yu Heavenly Venerable and Miao Hong Heavenly Venerate, who specialize in the Array Puppetry Skill, personally set up formations."

"Besides, other Heavenly Venerates and Demon Ancestors have imposed various bans on it."

With the elder’s introduction, Zhou Yu and his party soon arrived at the entrance of Treasure Hall.

At the entrance, there was a woman dressed in a black robe.

Although she appeared very delicate, a strong aura exuded from her.

Everyone who saw her unknowingly lowered their heads.

At this time, the woman was about to enter Treasure Hall but suddenly seemed to sense something, stopped, and looked back.

Her gaze happened to be in the direction where Zhou Yu was flying.

When her gaze fell on Zhou Yu, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Beside the woman was a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire.

"This is Daoist Zhou Yu, who just advanced to Integration, isn’t it."

The speaker was the man.

Zhou Yu’s figure arrived in front of the two.

He looked at the man, puzzled:

"You are?"

The man smiled:

"I am Xiu Pengliang from Mystic Spirit Domain, entrusted by the Heavenly Venerates to be responsible for human affairs at this Rare Treasure Conference."

"Daoist Zhou’s advancement to Integration has now spread throughout the Human Race."

"Moreover, several Heavenly Venerates hold Daoist Zhou in high regard."

"Daoist Zhou has limitless potential, a true blessing for the Human Race."

Facing Pengliang’s compliments, Zhou Yu humbly smiled.

"Daoist Peng is too kind; I have just advanced and can’t live up to such generous praise from the Heavenly Venerates."

"In the future, I will need your guidance..."
