Chapter 1017

The teleportation path deviated. When Zi Chen and the rest reappeared, they were already in a huge desert.

The desert was boundless, and one couldn't see the end of it. As the wind blew, the golden sand danced in the air.

"This is the desert."

Monk and the rest were dumbfounded when they saw the desert. "Why did you bring us to the desert?"

"The golden desert is so beautiful."

Compared to Monk and the rest, Lin Xue and the rest were very excited when they saw the desert. Like little girls, they picked up the sand and threw it into the sky.

The four beauties soon entered a playful state. They chased each other in the desert and got along well.

"Desert, there's a desert in the southern region." Zhang Ming and the rest looked at each other in confusion.

Although the Southern Region was vast and boundless, they had never heard of a desert. However, there was a place known for deserts, and that was the Western Region of the Western Desert.

"This is the Western Desert," Monk said, confirming everyone's guess.

"Western Desert? Aren't we going to the southern region? Why are we here?" They turned to look at Zi Chen.

The confusion on Zi Chen's face was no less than theirs.

"Something must have gone wrong during the teleportation. But don't worry, we'll go back later," Zi Chen said.

"It's so beautiful here. We're not in a hurry. We can play here for a few days," Lin Xue said.

The other three looked at Zi Chen with pitiful eyes.

Zi Chen nodded helplessly. "Okay, but only for a few days."

"Zi Chen, you're so handsome," Lin Xue said with a smile.

Zi Chen curled his lips. Zhang Ming and the rest snickered.

Surrounded by a boundless desert, there was nothing to play with. Zi Chen was bored and could only cultivate. Zhang Ming and the others were the same. Only the four of them were having a good time, and their cheerful laughter could be heard constantly.

Suddenly, a tremor came from the horizon. Then, a terrifying aura appeared. It seemed to be the arrival of a strong master. Zi Chen and the rest immediately opened their eyes.

However, the aura did not come close. Instead, it disappeared into the distance.

Zi Chen closed his eyes again and did not care. However, the powerful aura appeared three times in one day.

"This is the aura of the Earth Origin State," the monk said when the powerful aura appeared for the fourth time.

"Earth Origin Stage."

Zhang Ming and the others were confused. "Why would an Earth Origin Stage martial artist come to this desert? And there are so many of them."

No one could answer this question. However, Zi Chen's intuition told him that something was amiss. He tried to activate the Thunder Clan's ancient medallion but discovered that there was no reaction. His expression immediately changed and became unsightly.

"What happened?" Tyrant asked when he saw Zi Chen's ugly expression.

"We can't go back."

"What? We can't go back?" Monk stood up at once. Su Mengyao and the others in the distance also looked in their direction.

"The Ancient Order has lost its effect. We can't teleport back to the Ancient Road," Zi Chen said.

"Why would it suddenly fail?"

This was another question that he could not answer. Afterward, Zi Chen got up and flew dozens of kilometers away. During this time, he tried to sense the ancient medallion, but there was no response.

After returning, Zi Chen handed the ancient token to Lei Ming. "You try it."

"Me." Lei Ming stood up in confusion.

"This is the Thunder Medallion, which can be used by the people of the Thunder Clan. Try it and see if you can take us back."

Lei Ming took the Thunder Medallion doubtfully. He reached out with his spiritual sense, but shook his head after a while. "No response."

Su Mengyao and the others walked over. When they found out that they could not go back, Su Mengyao used her Ethereal Dao to predict everything.

"I'm afraid that something big has happened here. The rules have changed. Your medallion has lost its effect. It should be related to the environment here," Su Mengyao said.

"What is it?"

"I don't know. I can't predict it."

Right now, they were in the middle of a desert and could not tell north from south, which was quite troublesome. However, as cultivators of the Human Origin Stage, they were not afraid of being trapped.

Right now, they just needed to find a direction to move forward.

Among the group, no one could give a good suggestion. In the end, Su Mengyao had to predict again, but the result was not satisfactory either.

After a while, she shook her head and said, "It still doesn't work. The only place we can go is where the powerful aura is coming from. However, we can't tell if it is a good place or not."

The powerful aura was obviously from an Earth Origin Stage cultivator. If they went there recklessly, it would be troublesome if they encountered an enemy.

However, at this moment, there was no other way. Just as they were hesitating, Tyrant suddenly said, "Let's go there. Maybe it is a city."

"There is a city in the Western Desert?" Everyone was confused.

Tyrant curled his lips and said, "The Western Desert is not hell. Why can't there be a city?"

Everyone followed the powerful aura to the place.

At this moment, the various powers of the Martial Heaven Continent were dispatching their experts to the western region. They would use transportation formations to reach the Western Desert.

The Western Desert used to only have one master, and that was the Buddhist Sect. Unfortunately, more than twenty thousand years ago, something happened to the Buddhist Sect. A sealed fiendish demon broke out of the seal and slaughtered the entire Buddhist Sect, leading to their destruction.

At that time, the demon was extremely powerful. After destroying the Buddhist Sect, it slaughtered other creatures. Led by the Jin Family, the five major forces appeared and killed the demon, saving the people of the Western Desert.

The Great Spiritual City was one of the bigger cities in the Western Desert. It was said that when the city was built, it was based on the original Great Spiritual Temple. However, because the Buddhist Sect disappeared, it was changed into a city.

The style of the Great Spiritual City was in the shape of a tower. There were all kinds of towers in the city.

As it was in the desert, the Great Spiritual City was not prosperous. However, during this period of time, many cultivators and cultivators came to the Great Spiritual City.

Here, the most common cultivators were of the Human Origin Stage. There were even many Earth Origin Stage cultivators.

After flying for about a day, Zi Chen and the others saw a big city in the distance.

When they got closer, they saw the Great Spiritual City.

"A city, there is a city. The Great Spiritual City!" Lei Ming shouted. Everyone flew towards the Great Spiritual City.

However, in the process of flying, they saw many figures appearing in the sky. These figures were all human cultivators, and they were all of the Human Origin Stage. After they appeared, they went straight to the Great Spiritual City.

In a short period of time, dozens of Human Origin Stage cultivators entered the Great Spiritual City. Such a phenomenon was obviously unusual, especially for Zi Chen. When he was entering the city, he used his Perfect Body to change his appearance.

When the group entered the city and saw the architectural style of the towers, they were somewhat surprised. However, what was more surprising was that there were many experts gathered in the city.

Among them, the most obvious was a group of cultivators with swords on their backs. In the Sky Martial Continent, there was only one sect that dressed like this, and that was the Sword Sect.

"Sword Sect, these are all people from the Sword Sect." Looking at the Sword Sect disciples in the distance, Tyrant said.

Zi Chen looked around and saw a group of tall figures. These people were arrogant and overbearing. They were obviously from the Tyrant Clan.

Other than that, Zi Chen also saw people from the Five Elements Forces. He was even more glad that he changed his appearance in advance.

"All the major forces are here. Could it be that something has happened? Or that a treasure has appeared here?"

Everyone was puzzled. However, after Zi Chen heard this, he had a guess.

"Could it be that the Lightning Divine Palace has appeared here?" Zi Chen said.

"Lightning Divine Palace."

Everyone was surprised. Obviously, they did not know that the Lightning Divine Palace had appeared. Zi Chen explained, "The Lightning Divine Palace had appeared a few years ago. However, they disappeared after appearing."

Zi Chen explained simply, causing the surprise on everyone's faces to become even stronger.

"All the major forces have come. The possibility of the Lightning Divine Palace appearing here is very high." Su Mengyao said.

"Lightning Divine Palace, the legendary place where one can become a God. Hehe, since we're here, we can't miss it. We must definitely experience it." Lin Xue laughed.

However, Lin Xue's words caused Zi Chen's expression to change. He looked at Lin Xue and said seriously, "If the Lightning Divine Palace has really appeared, then it's too dangerous for you all to stay here. You must leave as soon as possible."

"Why?" Lin Xue was dissatisfied.

"Because the number of cultivators who died in the Lightning Divine Palace is too many." Zi Chen said.

"We don't need you to worry about us. We will be careful."

Hearing that, Zi Chen laughed bitterly once again and transmitted his voice, "The Lightning Divine Palace kills people silently. If not for the Devil Ape and I being lucky, we would have died long ago."

Zi Chen transmitted his voice and described the scene of the Lightning Divine Palace appearing out of nowhere. Hearing that, everyone's faces immediately turned pale.

The appearance of the Lightning Divine Palace could be said to be without any warning. That tyrannical power of law was completely destructive. It was impossible to guard against and could not be blocked.

That day, if not for him and the Devil Ape being lucky, the two of them would have died long ago.

"One great sect after another has been destroyed because of the Lightning Divine Palace. The Lightning Divine Palace is no small matter." Tyrant said.

"Let's talk about this later. I'm hungry, I want to eat." Lin Xue said.

Cultivators could still be hungry.

However, no one refuted Lin Xue, and they could only look for a tavern.

Everyone walked into a tavern. The tavern's business was very good, and it was almost full. The arrival of Zi Chen's group, in addition to the four beauties, naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"Serve us all the good wine and dishes." Lin Xue shouted boldly after taking a seat.

"Looks like the news has spread. Everyone is here." As soon as everyone sat down, a voice rang out. "Everyone is here."

"Hmph, they might be alive to come, but they might not be alive to return. The Lightning Divine Palace is a place where one can become a God. How many powers have been destroyed because of it? If they don't value it and don't revere it, only death awaits them."

"To even bring women here, I wonder which small power they are from. They truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even the people from the Five Elements Aristocratic Families wouldn't dare to do so."

The surrounding words obviously had the intention of squeezing Zi Chen's group. However, it was also indirectly informing Zi Chen that the Lightning Divine Palace might really appear here.

As for the arrival of experts from various powers, it seemed like they had already known that the Lightning Divine Palace was going to appear. This time, they were going to attack with all their might.

Facing the surrounding ridicule, Zi Chen could choose to ignore it. However, Lin Xue couldn't. She immediately stood up, and said to the cultivator who spoke, "You guys didn't bring your own women here. It's not that you guys don't have the ability, it's just that your women are ugly and can't be shown in public. Hmph, so, don't be envious of others here."

"Aiyo, this little lady is so vicious. Why, could it be that you're really treating this place as your small aristocratic family? Even the great powers haven't spoken, yet you, a mere small aristocratic family, have the right to speak?"
