Chapter 1960 Raw 2058 : Auspicious and Ominous Are Hard to Determine

“No wonder the Heavenly Lodging Palace wanted to seal off this information. A city left by a True God. The kind of great fortuitous encounters that might be found there is unimaginable. If the Heavenly Lodging Palace branch’s people monopolized this…” Wei Hongfei muttered as a fiery light flashed in his eyes.

Only two words echoed in Wei Hongfei’s mind: True God! True God! True God!

It was not just Wei Hongfei. The other adventurers showed similar expressions after seeing this scene. After being stunned for a moment, they turned fanatical.

This was different from Xiao Chen’s depressed feelings about this. The others did not overthink. Two words appeared in their minds: Fortuitous encounter!

Murong Yan smiled and said, “Xiao Chen, stop daydreaming. Look, the others are entering already. Should we enter too? Look at the cultivators rushing over from all directions. If we are slow, we might not even have scraps to collect.”

Xiao Chen recovered his wits. Then he said calmly, “There’s no rush. If we could obtain the fortuitous encounter so easily, the Heavenly Lodging Palace would have made a move long ago instead of waiting until now. The six of us should form three teams and scout the outside of the city first before regathering here.”

Situ Changfeng agreed with Xiao Chen’s caution. “Although time is precious before a fortuitous encounter, we know nothing about this ancient city. If we end up losing our lives, it will be pointless, no matter how big the fortuitous encounter is.”

Wei Hongfei nodded and said, “I’ll team up with Duan Fei and go to the south.”

Situ Changfeng smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll team up with Murong Yan.”

After that, only Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyun were left. So, there was no other choice.

The group split up, with Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyun heading for the north gate.

The entire ancient city had a mysterious aura. Xiao Chen tried sending his Spiritual Sense into the city, but it was like casting a rock into the sea, provoking no reaction at all.

Such a feeling was extremely strange.

If there really was a strong barrier, it should have directly blocked his Spiritual Sense outside. Now, this felt very confusing.

“An ancient city left by a True God? Interesting. We were just about to leave, and we actually ran into such a fortuitous encounter.”

Not long after Xiao Chen and the others left, a group of Dragon Race cultivators appeared where they had been. The one that spoke was Zhong Li, the person Xiao Chen and the others went to meet at the White Dragon Palace.

Liu Yunfei, the one with the special physique, followed beside Zhong Li, appearing very excited.

However, this group did not have Zhong Li as the leader. The strongest one here was a Golden Dragon Race cultivator.

If Xiao Chen were here, he would find this person familiar.

“Hahaha! I, Qin Aotian, am indeed very lucky. I just obtained a fortuitous encounter, and I run into an ancient city left by a True God!”

ChapterMid();

This was Qin Aotian, the Golden Dragon Race cultivator that Xiao Chen beat up in Blazing Sun Valley.

In the few months since then, Qin Aotian had actually grown stronger. The only things that remained unchanged were the several inherited Dao Tool rings on his fingers, looking very terrifying.

Qin Aotian wore golden battle armor with golden dragons carved on it. The dragons looked very realistic, seeming to swim about.

Without needing to probe deeply, it was clear that this golden battle armor was extremely extraordinary.

“Let’s go!”

Qin Aotian did not even think before taking large strides over. The others quickly followed.

The White Dragon Palace’s Zhong Li was experienced. He wanted to say something but held his tongue in the end.

Zhong Li wanted to say that this place seemed strange and that they should not enter so casually.

However, seeing Qin Aotian so excited, Zhong Li found it hard to say anything. Furthermore, after entering the city, he would still have to rely on the other party.

“Senior Brother, do you think we will run into Xiao Chen’s group?” Liu Yunfei asked somewhat nervously. He felt that if Xiao Chen and the others came to Desolate God Valley, they would definitely come to the city as well.

Zhong Li retorted indifferently, “He’d best pray that I don’t see him. Humph!”

Zhong Li just received a fortuitous encounter, and his strength increased greatly. He felt overwhelming confidence, believing that he could squish Xiao Chen to death with one finger if they met again.

One hour later, Xiao Chen, Liu Ruyun, Situ Changfeng, and Murong Yan met up to share what they saw.

After Situ Changfeng heard Xiao Chen’s report, he said seriously, “It looks like it is as I thought. The four gates each have their own mysterious principles. We cannot enter rashly and have to choose cautiously.”

Xiao Chen looked over. Vague purple clouds giving off a faint spiritual light lingered at the east gate, visible even to the naked eye.

It looked very auspicious. However, there was an unremarkable tower erected above the city walls.

This tower completely suppressed the area’s Luck. The auspicious gate was countered, no longer auspicious. It was even more ominous than the ominous gate.

After Xiao Chen briefly explained his opinion, Situ Changfeng exclaimed in shock, “Xiao Chen, you are also skilled in the Dragon Seeking Arts?”

Xiao Chen answered honestly, “I understand a little. However, don’t make too much of it. This ancient city appeared out of nowhere; there is nothing reliable about these signs. I believe that the original owner left some tricks behind. Knowing that people would come to this place, he laid some of these tricks at the gates. Every gate will have a different test. There is no true auspicious gate. We will have to take the test regardless. We just have to avoid the ominous gates.”

“Right. I am of the same opinion. However, why are Brother Wei and Brother Duan not back yet?” Situ Changfeng wondered, finding it strange.

One hour already passed, but the two had not shown up yet.

“We are back.”

Soon after Situ Changfeng spoke, Wei Hongfei and Duan Fei returned with somewhat sullen expressions.

“A group of people saw that we were Dragon Race cultivators and attacked us without saying anything. Fortunately, we have grown significantly stronger during this period. Otherwise, we would have found it hard to escape unharmed.”

Wei Hongfei’s complexion did not look good. Clearly, the earlier experience was not as simple as he made it out to be.

“That group of people seemed to be observing the ancient city, the same as us. They probably have some companions around. After we enter the city, we’ll have to be careful,” Duan Fei said after some analysis.

“They attacked without any warning? Then, it looks like they are mortal enemies of the Dragon Race. This is good, as well. They exposed themselves early, which is better than getting sneak-attacked after entering the city.”

The Dragon Race did not have many mortal enemies; however, they were not few, either. Before the group entered the city, there were already some hidden conflicts. This was not a good sign.

“Let’s enter by the south gate, then. Of the other three gates, the east one is an ominous gate disguised as an auspicious gate, the north one is a true ominous gate, and the west one is a greatly auspicious gate. However, it is normally difficult to determine between greatly auspicious and greatly ominous. The south gate is neither auspicious nor ominous. That is actually the best.”

After hearing what Wei Hongfei and Duan Fei saw, Xiao Chen made his choice.

“Alright. Let’s enter by the south gate.”

There was no way to fly above the city, so the group could only obediently enter by the city gates.

“What dense Spiritual Energy!”

Originally, the six thought that this was a dead city. However, after entering, they found that the city was different from what they imagined.

The Spiritual Energy in this city was much denser than the Spiritual Energy at the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s Profound Dragon Platform.

“So many years have passed after its original master died. I wonder, what is maintaining the Spiritual Energy in this city?” Situ Changfeng said as he looked around, feeling suspicious.

“So many damned corpses!”

Many armored cultivators clearly devoid of lifeforce wandered the streets.

The flesh of the damned corpses had already rotten away, leaving only empty skeletons wearing heavy armor. Some were even riding skeleton horses, looking very scary.

These were cultivators who followed the original master of this place when they were alive. After they died, they existed in such a manner. This was such a sorrowful sight.

This place was replete with Spiritual Energy. However, the damned corpses made it clear to everyone that this was a dead city.

The two aspects appeared contradictory.

The six had just entered the city when a group of wandering damned corpses charged at them.

Clearly, the six did not have any advantage against the dead, especially when these damned corpses had followed a True God when they were alive. Now that they were dead, they were even harder to deal with.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

Various attacks landed on these damned corpses, causing their armor to ring out. However, the damned corpses were entirely unscathed.

Murong Yan landed a punch on an armored damned corpse. The armor flared with light and actually negated most of his fist light.

“What kind of armor is this? To think that the formations within it are still operable!”

Murong Yan felt greatly startled. However, the damned corpses surrounding the six did not react at all, continuing to launch attacks.

“I’ll burn you all! Red Dragon True Flame!”

Murong Yan sent out a fierce sea of flames with his hands. While it looked very mighty, it was of no use at all.

Xiao Chen and the others, who were embroiled in an intense, bitter battle, could not spare time to think about the many other cultivators who entered through the south gate. Several people cried out miserably.

Many were mercilessly killed by the damned corpses, torn apart on the spot.

The six Dragon’s Gate disciples had just entered the ancient city and already encountered such an obstruction, which caught them off guard.

If the south gate was already this dangerous, what would be at the ominous gates? That was completely unimaginable.

---

“Damn! What is this damned thing?! Quickly, go back! Quickly, go back!”

Qin Aotian and the others ran frantically. After entering the east gate, they discovered blood rain falling from the sky.

As the blood rain fell, it coalesced into blood monsters. After they killed the blood monsters, more would form. Half of the cultivators entering from the east gate died the instant they entered the city.

The more horrifying thing was that when the blood rain landed on the body, it could corrode Veritable Essence Energy, as well as the flesh, revealing white bones.

The weaker cultivators could not last in this blood rain at all. The stronger ones would be able to endure for a while before finding out that something was wrong at the end.

These people’s Veritable Essence Energy drained continuously. The east gate was simply a path to death.

One could only retreat and leave the city to make other plans and choose another gate to enter by.

However, one person advanced calmly amid the blood rain.

That person wore white monk robes and held azure prayer beads. Many people continuously brushed by him, people who were rushing out of the city because they could not endure the blood rain.

“Great fortuitous encounters come with great difficulty. Let me see what is at the end of this road.”

The person in white monk robes had delicate and handsome facial features, looking like a calm and peaceful monk.

This person’s right middle finger and ring finger curled up. A string of Buddhist prayer beads hung from them. As the white-clad monk formed a strange hand seal, he shouted and thrust his hand forward.

“Black Lotus Secret Technique, Cleansing Destruction!”

A light appeared, and a horrifying Buddhist Might burst forth from his hand. The Buddhist light burned and cleansed the blood monsters that pounced at him from the front. They turned into filth and scattered, never to regather.

A lotus bloomed under the white-clad monk’s feet as he calmly continued walking forward.

Qin Aotian and his companions ran frantically. When they brushed by this person, Zhong Li glanced at the white-clad monk with some astonishment.

When the two’s gazes met, Zhong Li felt a deep fear and moved away hastily.

Where did this monk come from? How is he so powerful? Why does the black lotus under his feet feel somewhat familiar?
