Chapter 1077

After putting away the two weapons, Zi Chen returned to the Wuji Palace. He had already summoned the Demon Ape and the others to discuss the matter of going to the Holy Burial Ground.

He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Zi Chen had a feeling that something bad would happen in the Holy Burial Ground. Or perhaps it was some kind of danger.

His worry wasn't groundless. Because of this, he had asked Su Mengyao for a divination.

A year ago, eight Earth Origin Realm experts had led an army to attack the Wuji Sect. At that time, the divination had shown that the Wuji Sect would be safe. Zi Chen didn't know this at first, but Su Mengyao had told him afterward.

The divination had shown that the Wuji Sect would be destroyed, but when it came to the Holy Burial Ground, Su Mengyao couldn't divine it. The divination was chaotic.

The fact that she couldn't divine it meant that there was a problem. Adding on the fact that Su Mengyao also had a bad feeling, Zi Chen didn't plan on bringing too many people to the Holy Burial Ground.

Footsteps rang out as everyone entered the palace. After a while, everyone was present. Apart from Old Gui and Old Man Ming Qing, who were in seclusion to break through to the Earth Origin Realm, everyone else was present.

The news of the Holy Burial Ground had already spread like wildfire. All the teams from the various powers had arrived, and everyone naturally knew the reason why Zi Chen had gathered everyone. All of them were filled with excitement and anticipation. The Holy Burial Ground was known as the most mysterious place in the Sky Martial Continent, second only to the Lightning Divine Hall.

At the top of the palace, Zi Chen looked at the excited crowd and said, "This time, I'll only bring a few people. The rest will stay in the sect and guard it."

This result caused an uproar. Some couldn't believe it.

"Brother-in-law, I'm afraid this arrangement of yours isn't appropriate. Everyone is bringing an army, and every team has over a hundred people. If you only bring a few people, you won't be able to hold the fort when you encounter a precious treasure."

Wang Shan said, "You should bring hundreds or thousands of people. You don't even need to fight. You can scare them to death."

"More people means more targets. Naturally, it'll be more dangerous. If a treasure really appears, then the one who obtains it will definitely be the strongest, not the more people."

Seeing that Wang Shan still wanted to say something, Zi Chen said, "Say no more. I've already decided on this matter. Let's do it."

In the Boundless Sect, Zi Chen was the one with the highest authority. As long as Zi Chen nodded, no one could refute his words. Even if they did, it would be useless.

Next, Zi Chen began to select people. The Devil Ape came from the Holy Burial Ground, so Zi Chen would naturally bring him along.

Lv Peng was an Array Master, his attainments in Array Formations were extremely high. In the Holy Burial Ground, if they encountered some Array Formations, he would be the one to break them.

Su Mengyao was good at deduction and could find a way to survive in a dangerous place.

Zhang Haotian was an expert in the Dao of Assassination, and his concealment techniques were brilliant. He was suitable for seizing treasures in the midst of chaos.

The Spirit Devouring Rats were born to hunt for treasures, so he naturally brought them along as well. In the end, he also brought along Longhu.

The group of six, plus Zi Chen's group of seven, prepared some essential elixirs and headed to the Holy Burial Ground.

Outside the Holy Burial Ground, large and small powers had already arrived. The most prominent ones were the five elements powers. As long as the five families formed an alliance, it would be the strongest alliance on the Martial Heaven Continent.

After them were the powers comparable to the five elements families. There was the Sword Sect, the Tyrant Body bloodline, and other powers.

The demonic beasts of the wasteland, the Wu family, and many other powerful families of the Martial Heaven Continent naturally attracted the attention of countless people when Zi Chen's group arrived.

In the current Martial Heaven Continent, if one had to say who was the most famous, it would definitely be Zi Chen. Zi Chen was the most dazzling new star of the Martial Heaven Continent. In front of Zi Chen, even an unrivaled spirit body would lose its luster.

"He's Zi Chen. He founded a large sect at such a young age, and he's even able to contend against the other powers."

"Zi Chen, the Boundless Sect's master. After offending so many large powers, he's the only one who's still alive. Furthermore, he's living a carefree life."

"That's him. He killed several spirit bodies. Those are his friends. It's said that they aren't weak either."

When Zi Chen arrived, everyone began to discuss him. Even the people beside Zi Chen became the subject of discussion.

"Zi Chen, you only brought these few people?" An extremely surprised voice rang out. It was naturally the Perfect Body.

There were no more than ten people here who would take the initiative to greet Zi Chen.

"Quality, not quantity. Furthermore, we don't have enough resources and experts. We can't afford a chaotic battle." Zi Chen glanced at the ancient races in the distance and smiled.

Over a hundred ancient races had come this time. Other than the Perfect Body, Zi Chen also saw the Barbarian God from back then. Both sides nodded in greeting.

Right on the heels of that, two demons walked over from the desolate lands. They were Ape Lin and Ape Dragon. These two were Zi Chen's friends. There were many races among the demons, and almost all of them had come this time. The two of them represented the Ape race, so there were dozens of them. However, in the outside world, the demons of the desolate lands were one family, so they stood together.

After that, the Wu family's Wu Yu also came to greet them. They also joined forces with other factions, forming an alliance of hundreds of people.

Although the others didn't go forward, they nodded when Zi Chen's gaze swept past them. They were thanking Zi Chen for giving them the opportunity to enter the Holy Burial Ground for free.

When Zi Chen's gaze swept past the Five Elements faction, although they didn't show any hostility, their expressions were relatively cold.

"Eh, baldy, those are Buddhists."

Devil Ape's surprised voice suddenly sounded. As Zi Chen looked over, he saw more than twenty monks standing alone in a distant place.

Just as Zi Chen was looking at those monks, the group of monks also felt it and looked over. Zi Chen was surprised to see acquaintances among them.

Seeing Zi Chen, the two monks took the initiative to walk over and saluted Zi Chen at the same time.

"Greetings, benefactor."

"Greetings, master."

They were Ming Xin and Ming Jue. After greeting each other, Zi Chen asked, "Master Ming Xin, did the Good and Evil Monk come out? Do you have any news about him?"

"This is also the reason why I came to find you, benefactor. Back then, you went to the Holy Land of Buddhism with the Arhat. Why did you come out alone?" Ming Xin put his palms together and asked.

"So the monk hasn't come out yet."

Zi Chen was stunned. He then briefly told them what had happened in the Buddhist ruins.

"I see. The Arhat must be comprehending the inheritance."

There was obvious joy in the eyes of the two monks. They then saluted Zi Chen at the same time and thanked him repeatedly. Other than thanking Zi Chen for telling them about the monk's situation, they also wanted to thank Zi Chen for opening the Holy Burial Ground.

They met some friends. There were still a few days before the Holy Burial Ground opened. Zi Chen didn't plan to force it open. He just wanted to wait patiently. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a certain place and he couldn't help but frown.

This was because there was a very eye-catching army at the edge of the Human Element group. It was a group of tall demons. They came uninvited. There were so many of them that they occupied an area. The other factions all stayed far away from them.

"Why are the demons here? I was talking about the human factions. I never said that the demons were allowed to come." Zi Chen's face was immediately filled with dissatisfaction.

Devil Ape explained, "They came to visit you before. They said that they were your friends in need. But you weren't here and we couldn't verify it, so we didn't make things difficult for them."

"Friends."

The frowning Zi Chen suddenly noticed a strange beast among the demons. This beast was covered in black scales, and it looked like a combination of many different animals. It had the head of a lion, the horns of a deer, the eyes of a tiger, the body of an elk, the scales of a dragon, and the tail of an ox. However, when all of these were combined, it formed an extremely majestic demon beast.

"That's a Qilin."

Upon seeing this dignified demonic beast, Zi Chen's pupils couldn't help but constrict. This was because it resembled a legendary divine beast.

"That's not a divine beast, a Qilin, but a Demonic Qilin. It's very rare among the demons, but it has extremely powerful combat strength. Its true combat strength is comparable to a Heaven Splitting Battle Ape," explained the Perfect Body beside Zi Chen when he saw the Demonic Qilin.

"Comparable to a Heaven Splitting Battle Ape."

Zi Chen was surprised. The Devil Ape's current combat strength was almost comparable to a spirit body. If the Demonic Qilin's combat strength was comparable to a Heaven Splitting Battle Ape, wouldn't that mean that it was comparable to a spirit body?

As though guessing Zi Chen's thoughts, the Perfect Body said, "Spirit bodies aren't invincible. It has always been said that spirit bodies are invincible. Apart from their combat strength not being weak, there's another reason that can't be ignored. It's because of their origins. As the largest faction in the Tianwu Continent, who would dare kill them?"

Returning to the topic at hand, the Perfect Body said, "I forgot to tell you. That Demonic Qilin is indeed extraordinary, but what's truly extraordinary is its owner, the Seventh Princess of the royal family. Her combat strength is extraordinary, and she's also an extremely difficult character to deal with. She's very famous among the demons and suppresses the other princes and princesses."

As he spoke, Zi Chen saw a woman sitting on the Demonic Qilin's back. She was dressed in a tight black dress and had an indifferent expression. She looked noble and cold, like a real queen.

When Zi Chen saw her appearance, he was immediately surprised. He hadn't expected to meet her here.

From afar, the Princess also saw Zi Chen and signaled for the Demonic Qilin to come forward. Beside the Demonic Qilin, many demons followed and protected him. When they saw the Princess move, they all followed. However, when the Princess glanced at them indifferently, they all lowered their heads and obediently retreated. However, one person still followed.

The Demonic Qilin brought the Princess over. Beside him was a middle-aged demon. At that moment, Zi Chen's gaze was not on the Princess, but on the middle-aged man beside her. If Zi Chen guessed correctly, this middle-aged man should be the unfathomable Earth Origin Realm expert who had followed the Princess back then.

When Zi Chen didn't kill the Princess in the Flame Ancient Castle, part of the reason was that he was a male chauvinist. However, there was another reason that couldn't be ignored. At that time, Zi Chen did feel a sense of danger. Obviously, after that, Zi Chen confirmed that the sense of danger came from the middle-aged demon in front of him.

However, when an Earth Origin Realm expert arrived here, he would be the same as a Human Origin Realm expert after suppressing his realm. If he died here, it wouldn't be worth it. Even the Five Elements Forces didn't send an Earth Origin Realm expert this time, which showed that they were afraid of him. However, the Princess in front of him didn't worry about dying. In addition to her courage, she was more confident.
