Chapter 728

"The Divine Sect only valued their respective inheritances and talents, while those alien armies were like hungry wolves. Once they arrived at Kunlun Continent, they couldn't wait to plunder all the resources here.

"After the various deities left, the foreign armies started plundering our Kunlun Continent without any fear. This caused the situation in the continent to become extremely chaotic, and the flames of war raged everywhere."

"This situation was too dangerous. In order to ensure the safety of your grandfather and mother, Killing God Qing Lin allowed them to take refuge in Ninefold Palace.

"At that time, Old Zhong and I were at the Celestial Court's branch in Baijing Prefecture. We originally thought that Ninefold Palace should be the safest place on the continent, but we didn't expect to see it disappear with our own eyes!"

The more Huang Pingzhang spoke, the more ashamed he felt.

"Disappear? How could they disappear for no reason? "

Gu Chen was furious. Huang Pingzhang's explanation was tantamount to not explaining anything. How could his grandfather and mother's whereabouts be explained with just one sentence: they disappeared?

"Gu Chen, you can't blame them for this. The person who made Ninefold Palace disappear is too unfathomable."

Elder Nangong spoke at this moment. His body still looked extremely weak.

"Elder, can you be more specific?" Gu Chen was anxious.

"That person is too unfathomable. The Old Man was afraid that he would miss out on something, so I drew a picture with my thoughts. Take a look for yourself."

Elder Nangong stretched out a finger and lightly tapped on Gu Chen's forehead.

All of a sudden, an image emerged in Gu Chen's mind.

"Celestial Emperor? A mere Pale Yellow Ancient Star dares to establish a Celestial Emperor? This is a great disrespect to the Ancient Heaven! "

"Forget it. Seeing that you can barely be considered part of the Celestial Court, I'll give you a chance."

"Tell your Celestial Emperor, if he wants to find Ninefold Palace, he'll have to pass my test!"

Amidst the clouds, the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Palace slowly dissipated. A frivolous voice reverberated throughout the various secret realms of the Heavenly Court. Following that, an ordinary-looking stone fell from the sky and landed in front of Elder Nangong.

The scene stopped here, and the Nine-Tiered Heavens completely disappeared.

"After the disappearance of the Heavenly Palace, we tried to search for it at the first opportunity. But very quickly, the various alien armies discovered the various branches of the Celestial Court. Before we could investigate the whereabouts of your grandfather and mother, we had already become prisoners!"

Wei Chizhong said in a sorrowful tone. He felt that he hadn't helped at all, and in the end, he still needed Gu Chen to save them. He really felt guilty.

Gu Chen understood the whole process and murmured. "Ancient Heaven … What is that …"

Elder Nangong took out a stone from his body. This stone looked like it could be picked up by the roadside.

"This stone was left behind by the man who claimed to be from the Ancient Heaven. He said it was a test for you, but the Old Man kept it for a whole year and never saw anything special about it. It just looked like an ordinary stone."

If this stone was some kind of treasure, it would have been taken away by the alien armies long ago. It would have been impossible for it to be left for Elder Nangong.

Elder Nangong knew that this thing was related to the safety of Gu Chen's family, so he had been working hard to keep it safe. But personally, he felt that this was just left behind by the other party to toy with them.

Gu Chen received the stone solemnly. Elder Nangong could not tell what was so special about the stone based on his cultivation base, but with Gu Chen's current cultivation base, he could sense the difference between it and ordinary stones.

His Purple Eyes lit up, and his divine sense extended into the stone. Soon, he found an extremely ingenious seal in the depths of the stone.

This seal was very obscure. If one didn't have a certain level of spiritual power, they wouldn't be able to find it at all.

Gu Chen carefully observed the seal, then launched an attack with his divine sense and rushed inside!

The seal broke immediately. He felt a trace of the aura of time inside!

"The prime of life doesn't come again, time waits for no man! If you want to solve your heart's troubles, where the lights are dimming! "

A burst of laughter echoed in Gu Chen's mind, causing his gaze to instantly turn cold.

"This guy …"

The cultivator from the Ancient Heaven left a message in the stone, his tone filled with mockery.

"Brother Zuo, what do you think?"

Gu Chen looked at Zuo Chunqiu, who was sitting in the distance, and flicked his finger. The stone in his hand flew toward him.

Zuo Chunqiu caught the stone and felt a trace of the aura of time inside.

"A time secret technique? And it seems to be from the same lineage as you. "

Zuo Chunqiu narrowed his eyes. He also cultivated a time secret technique, but it was not from the same lineage as Gu Chen's Celestial Emperor's Light Fist.

He had coveted Gu Chen's Celestial Emperor's Light Fist for a long time, and had even tried to imitate it with his Heaven's Path zhenqi, so he was very familiar with its aura.

"Looks like the other party really has a deep relationship with the Celestial Court."

Gu Chen took a deep breath. He had already confirmed the other party's identity.

How was the Celestial Court established?

It was established after the old Heavenly Emperor discovered the Nine-Heaven Palace by chance and obtained the inheritance within it.

The Nine-Heaven Palace came from outer space just like the Kunlun Ruins. In other words, this cultivator who claimed to have come from Ancient Heaven might be a true member of the Celestial Court!

Gu Chen's expression became exceptionally grim. This person had discovered that the methods of the Heavenly Court's inheritance that had wandered outside were different from those of the other divine sects. Gu Chen didn't understand his thoughts, but he had already figured out what the test he was talking about.

If he wanted to solve his problem, he would have to go to the place where the lights were fading.

The other party meant that if he wanted to find the Nine-Heaven Palace, he had to go to the place where the lights were fading!

Where was the place where the lights were fading?

The prime of his life would not come again, and time would not wait for anyone!

The other party had probably placed the test in the river of time. This was a competition that traversed time and space, and the wisp of time aura in the stone was the guide!

"Time waits for no one. Does it mean that if I don't enter the river of time within a certain period of time, I might not be able to find the Nine-Heaven Palace again?"

Gu Chen muttered, deeply feeling the threat in the other party's words.

Although the other party came from Ancient Heaven, he did not seem to have a good impression of him, a descendant of a remote ancient planet. He had set an extremely difficult test for him.

If he could not pass, the Nine-Heaven Palace would disappear forever, and he could forget about finding his grandfather and mother!

This time, it was different from the time the old Heavenly Emperor sent the Nine-Heaven Palace into the river of time. At that time, the old Heavenly Emperor wanted to preserve the strength of the Celestial Court and wait for the birth of a new Heavenly Emperor.

However, this time, the strength of this cultivator from Ancient Heaven was far superior to the old Heavenly Emperor. He was at least an immortal. He had probably sealed the Nine-Heaven Palace!

Being sealed and drifting in the river of time were two different things. The current Nine-Heaven Palace could exist anywhere in the past, present, or future!

Zuo Chunqiu also realized that this was a challenge from the other party and looked at Gu Chen solemnly.

"The competition in time and space is extremely dangerous. If you accept this test, you might not be able to return and be lost in time and space forever. You might even be mercilessly wiped out by the power of time."

Gu Chen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. "I'm afraid I don't have a choice. My grandfather, mother, and Killing God Qing Lin are all in the Heavenly Palace."
