Chapter 961
In a private room of a restaurant on Mount Myriad Gods, a special gathering was taking place.
"It's been ten years! Back then, when we left the Dark Yellow Ancient Star, our futures were all uncertain. I never thought that we would have the chance to meet again today. "
"Come, let's drink! We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Hong Taiyi of the Profound Sky Sect said happily. He looked at all the guests at the banquet and drained the wine in his hand.
Aside from him, there was also Feng Jiuqian of the Glazed Light Sect, Li Wanjun of the Langya Holy Land, Chen Buqi of the Thousand Refinements Holy Land, Qi Zeyan of the South Flower Holy Land, Mu Ziyu of the Azure Wood Sect, Loree of the Demon Tribe, Shi Jian of the Stone Tribe …
All of them were geniuses who could shake the world in the Kunlun Continent back then. They were lucky enough to be chosen when the deities descended on the Dark Yellow Ancient Star and brought away from their hometowns.
Time flew, and ten years passed in a flash. Now, with the Divine Realm Conference being a once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity, a group of people gathered together and told each other about their encounters in the past ten years. All of them sighed endlessly.
With Hong Taiyi taking the lead to drink, the others happily drained the wine in their hands in one gulp. Clearly, they all agreed with this gathering.
Originally, everyone was still unfamiliar with each other when they first sat down. However, after a few cups of wine, they became more amiable. After all, they were from the same hometown and had the same experiences growing up.
"Teacher Mu, where's Princess Ji? Why isn't she here yet? Although we're from different sects, we've all heard rumors about her. "
Li Wanjun looked at Mu Ziyu and asked politely.
Everyone present had studied in the Nine Provinces True Martial Academy and the Mystic Arts Academy. When they were students, Mu Ziyu was a teacher in the True Martial Academy. Hence, they were used to calling her Teacher Mu.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Mu Ziyu.
Although they were all famous geniuses in the Ancient Cang Huang Star, and the forces they belonged to were all Holy Lands, after stepping into the starry sky and joining the major Divine Sects and Divine Clans, most of the people present were just ordinary disciples of their sects.
But Ji Lanchu was different. Not long after they left the Ancient Planet Cang Huang, they learned that the Ji family of Middle Earth was actually a descendant of Kunlun, and Princess Lanchu, the last descendant of Kunlun, was highly valued by Kunlun because her bloodline showed signs of returning to the ancient times.
In the months before they arrived at the Gods' Mountain, many forces had heard of the great name of Kunlun Saintess Ji Lanchu. These old friends of hers had a particularly deep impression of her.
It could be said that Ji Lanchu was one of the main reasons why everyone was here today.
Many people came with the goal of befriending Princess Ji, who was like the sun in the sky.
"I contacted Lanchu earlier. She said she had something to do and would come over later. She said she would treat everyone today, "Mu Ziyu said with a smile.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. There were tens of millions of cultivators gathered on the Gods' Mountain, and there were limited restaurants and teahouses, so the prices were extremely high.
Some of the people present were not doing very well, and such a banquet would cost a lot of star coins. Since someone was willing to treat them, they were naturally happy.
"Haha, if Princess Ji wants to come, then only Gu Chen and Ye Qingshuang are not among our group of people."
Chen Buqi of the Thousand Refinements Sacred Sect said with a smile.
"Gu Chen …"
Hearing this name, almost everyone present had a strange expression on their faces as they recalled the past.
Once, that man had fought against many Monarchs during the Storm Gathering of the two academies, and almost everyone present had been defeated by him …
And it was also from that time onwards that man created countless miracles.
Breaking through to Monarch Realm, triggering the unprecedented phenomenon of Stars in Daytime.
Killing the genius Huangfu Qingming, and the name Overlord spread throughout the Kunlun Continent.
Ascending to the position of Heavenly Thearch, uniting the various races of the continent to defeat the God of War, Huangfu Wuji …
Until he left by stepping on the sea, he was almost the mark of an entire era. The so-called geniuses who were born in the same era as him were completely overshadowed by him.
Now that Chen Buqi mentioned Gu Chen, everyone was naturally filled with emotions.
"Back then, we were really overwhelmed by the Overlord. I didn't expect that with his talent back then, he wasn't taken away by any Divine Dao faction."
Feng Jiuqian sighed.
Everyone knew who was taken away back then, and it was clear that Gu Chen wasn't one of them. Thus, they felt sorry for him.
"Not only Gu Chen, but there's also no news of Ye Qingshuang. You should know that she's as young as Gu Chen, and her growth potential was even more shocking," Li Wanjun said with pity.
"Heh, that's normal. After all, the major factions didn't choose people purely based on talent. They had to be 'fated'."
Loree of the Demonic Tribe snickered.
Everyone was speechless. Indeed!
Back then, when the deities selected the young geniuses of the Kunlun Continent, apart from looking at their talent, they also paid more attention to their heritage.
For example, the Demonic Tribe was a descendant of the Giant Demon Tribe 85,555 years ago. That was why Loree, the genius of the tribe, was taken away.
There was also Shi Jian. The Stone Tribe was a branch of the Star Ocean Sand Tribe. That was why he, the young master, got the opportunity.
When the deities descended on the Kunlun Continent 85,555 years ago, although they were all destroyed, they left behind their respective heritage.
The sacred grounds and sacred sects that the geniuses were from were all closely related to the Divine Dao factions. Otherwise, how could they have gotten this opportunity?
"Back then on the Ancient Planet Cang Huang, I almost felt that Gu Chen was the strongest cultivator, and no one was his match. However, after leaving the Ancient Planet Cang Huang and seeing a wider world, I realized that he was just so-so."
Hong Taiyi, who had drunk too much wine, smiled faintly.
When he said that, those who had conflicts with Gu Chen and did not have a good relationship with him all nodded. As for Gu Chen's friends, such as Qi Zeyan, Mu Ziyu, and Shi Jian, they all remained silent.
"Back then, although Gu Chen was strong, now that I think about it, he is only in the Celestial Being Realm. He is far from the Deity Realm, so there is nothing amazing about him. He is indeed a genius on the Ancient Planet Cang Huang, but after leaving the ancient planet, he is actually nothing! "
Feng Jiuqian echoed. When he spoke, he looked somewhat melancholic.
On the surface, he was making fun of Gu Chen, whom he had a conflict with, but in his heart, he was mocking himself.
Feng Jiuqian was also a genius in the past. However, ever since he left the Ancient Planet Cang Huang and entered his current faction, he had become mediocre.
"Now, our horizons have been broadened. Most of us here have reached the Earth Immortal Realm. If we were in the Ancient Planet Cang Huang, how could we have achieved what we have today?" Li Wanjun saw Feng Jiuqian's melancholy and consoled him.
