Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor
Chapter 2057 - 2056: Monkey Venerable?
Such direct insults did not cause Han Junjie to show a gloomy or extremely angry expression.
He acted as if he hadn’t heard, with his hands clasped behind him, looking into the distance, maintaining that heavenly talent demeanor.
In this regard, Su Han was thoroughly helpless.
Shaking his head, he also looked toward the crack.
Before he spoke, a colossal structure slowly emerged.
This structure resembled a tall tower, yet unlike a tower.
Below it were four pillars supporting the enormous rounded altar in the center, and above the altar, three sharp tips emerged, reaching straight into the clouds.
From afar, even across hundreds of thousands of miles, the gigantic Altar of the Divine Dao was clearly visible.
On the altar’s surface were many pattern marks etched, resembling various creatures, yet their types were unknown.
"Oh my, is that the Altar of the Divine Dao?"
"It’s so huge, with such a majestic and ancient aura, as if it has existed for billions of years..."
"This is the first time I’ve seen the Altar of the Divine Dao since joining the Divine Dao Religion!"
"Nonsense, activating the Altar of the Divine Dao requires so many pills and herbs, the total value definitely exceeds ten trillion Spirit Crystals. Even our Divine Dao Religion can’t just open it whenever we want!"
"The Soul Cleansing Pool, Altar of the Divine Dao, and Supreme Space of the Three Teachings seem to each require a cost exceeding ten trillion Spirit Crystals to activate. Combined, that makes thirty billion!"
"And these are all prepared for the champion of the Tianjiao Championship. This shows just how high the value of the championship is..."
"Well, that’s the most outstanding super heavenly talent in the entire Lower-Class Star Region!"
"No, for Young Master Su it should be the First Freak!"
...
With the appearance of the Altar of the Divine Dao, many people’s eyes again turned to Su Han.
Clearly burly and slightly ugly, yet under the light of the altar, Su Han seemed to be emanating a layer of divine light, making one irresistibly want to approach.
Although these disciples of the Divine Dao Religion knew that the opening of the altar there wouldn’t be only Su Han going in.
But they also knew the altar was opened because of Su Han! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Otherwise, even for a heavenly talent like Han Junjie, the Divine Dao Religion wouldn’t spend ten trillion Spirit Crystals because of him.
For one person to reach such a level, it truly leaves no regrets...
"Little fellow."
Just then, the Blood-Robed Venerable looked at Su Han and smiled, "I received word from over there, they want you to go over."
"Mm."
Su Han nodded slightly, just about to step away but paused again.
With a flip of his hand, two Jade Bottles appeared, floating in front of Venerable Yulin and the Blood-Robed Venerable, one for each.
"What’s this?" Both looked at Su Han, puzzled.
Su Han smiled and said, "Both seniors are Pill Masters, and at the Sixth Grade, I imagine your mastery of the Alchemy Dao is undoubtedly high. These two pills are Heaven-Defying Pills, though only Second Grade, they are not a compliment from me, nor an attempt to flatter. I just thought, these Heaven-Defying Pills might have some use for the two seniors."
After speaking, Su Han’s figure flashed and headed into the distance.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Han Junjie and others did not hesitate in the slightest, rushing towards the Altar of the Divine Dao, fearing that if they arrived late, the altar would close.
But the Blood-Robed Venerable and Venerable Yulin were left holding the Jade Bottles, gazing at the Heaven-Defying Pills within, momentarily dazed.
"Such precious pills, that little fellow... just gave them to us like that?"
The Blood-Robed Venerable let out a bitter smile, shaking his head, "Compared to him, I overstepped a bit. Previously, when he was competing in alchemy with Junjie, I relied on my status to remind Junjie..."
"This child is definitely not to be trifled with."
Venerable Yulin watching Su Han’s back, said, "Considering his monstrous talent and unparalleled battle power aside, merely his gift of these Heaven-Defying Pills and the immediate decision not to compete with Han Junjie in alchemy upon the altar’s activation shows his decisiveness, yet also... exceptional subtlety!"
"I don’t have as many thoughts as you do; I just think we can’t just take someone’s pills for nothing, can we?"
Blood-Robed Venerable said, "The Heaven-Defying Pill, though only Second Grade, in terms of value, it barely reaches the value of a Lower Fifth Grade Pill, but in terms of research worth, just a Sixth Grade or even Seventh Grade Pill can hardly compare. If we can decipher it, then what we can refine is a heaven-defying pill of Sixth Grade level!"
"There’s still a year remaining, why are you in such a rush?"
Venerable Yulin’s eyes flashed with a smile, saying, "How about you accept him as your direct disciple?"
"I would love to, but would that little fellow be willing?"
Blood-Robed Venerable shrugged, "If he truly has no background, then surely he wouldn’t be willing. If he has background... then someone of our level is probably not qualified to be his Master, at least Heavenly Emperor Realm!"
...
While the two venerables were discussing how to return Su Han’s favor, Su Han, Han Junjie, and others had already arrived at the altar.
By the time they arrived, eighteen people were already standing around the altar.
From these individuals emanated terrifying pressure of the Fusion Realm, not much different from those elders who activated the Soul Cleansing Pool at the Qing Emperor Sect.
Their expressions cold, each holding a dirt-colored incense stick.
Seeing Su Han and others arriving, they immediately flipped their palms, lighting the sticks with flames and inserting them into the altar.
"Swish!!!"
With the insertion of these sticks, the altar suddenly burst forth with rising flames.
At a glance, like a gigantic volcanic crater erupting with lava.
But Su Han and others could clearly see that these flames rose not intermittently but on a flat surface!
Just like...
Like a lake, only in the altar’s lake, it was not water, but flames.
After completing all this, the eighteen Fusion Realm experts breathed a sigh of relief, then simultaneously bowed and cupped their fists toward the west, saying solemnly, "Please appear, Monkey Venerable!"
"Monkey Venerable?"
Upon hearing these words, Han Junjie and the others’ faces changed dramatically, immediately bowing, almost touching the ground.
But Su Han couldn’t see any trace of respect on their faces, only seeing... overwhelming fear!
"Boom!"
Right at that moment, from the direction everyone was facing, a huge rumbling sound suddenly came.
Soon after, a massive staff appeared, atop which stood a figure covered in hair.
Seeing this figure, Su Han was momentarily stunned!
