NOVEL NEXT Chapter 442: 340
A flash of light, and Gu Chen, along with the top warriors from the six major holy lands, as well as Lin Bai, and others including Lu Xing and Shang Ying, were all teleported away.
As the feeling of spatial distortion dissipated and their vision returned, Gu Chen found himself inside an ancient temple.

The place was extremely vast, stretching beyond what the eye could see. The surrounding walls were made of an unknown grey-black ore, solemn and unadorned throughout, ancient and deep.
An aura named 'years' endlessly circulated within the ancient temple. From its very beginning until now, it has weathered the long passage of time and the great changes of the world, bridging the gap from the remote antiquity to the ancient era, and having lasted to the present day.
As if the dust-covered era of the Heavenly Earth was opening once again, every warrior arriving at this place felt an ancient and vicissitudinous sense, as though they had returned to a distant, primordial age.
"The ultimate inheritance site!"
The gazes of Yuwen Wind and other top warriors from the six major holy lands were fervent, their emotions fluctuating, having reached their destination, they were inexpressibly excited at this moment.
Not just them, the other disciples from the holy lands were also alike, faces flushed with excitement, their hearts stirred.
Even though the opportunity of this place was not related to them, the benefits that might accidentally be left behind were enough to serve them for a long time.
Moreover, the chance to come into close contact with the legendary items that appeared only once in countless years naturally thrilled them.
"Finally, we've arrived."
Xu Ya, the roaming warrior from the Xumi Buddhist Sect, murmured a Buddhist chant, and even he, a person of the cloth, was struggling to control his emotions at this moment.
Gu Chen glanced at Xu Ya, Xuan One, and others, and noticed that the qi surrounding these top warriors from the holy lands had become much stronger than when they first met, and even there was a mysterious and unfathomable sense about them, as if they were about to merge with the world itself.
Just like Gu Chen, Xu Ya, Yuwen Wind, and others had also obtained corresponding opportunities in the nine palaces they encountered before and had made breakthroughs in their cultivation.
The current heirs of the six holy lands had all unlocked the Heavenly Earth Mystical Portal.
With more time to settle and using their minds to draw in the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi to infuse their bodies and purify themselves, followed by merging the true essence within their bodies with the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi to transform it into congenital true qi, they could revert from the acquired state to the congenital state and achieve the highly revered position of a Congenital Realm Grandmaster of Martial Arts, which was admired by billions of warriors in Jiuzhou.
Not just them, Lin Bai was the same. His aura had become exceptionally mysterious, giving him an unfathomable presence, nearly merging with the world.
Yuwen Wind's lips curled into a cold smirk, casting a very disdainful glance at Gu Chen.
Having unlocked the Heavenly Earth Mystical Portal, Yuwen Wind was confident that he no longer feared Gu Chen and that Gu Chen could no longer be his opponent.
Xi Mu of Mount Tianzhu and Ouyang Yu of Burning Heaven Valley also cast cold glances at Gu Chen just like Yuwen Wind.
If it weren't for the final opportunity already present, they wouldn't mind killing Gu Chen right there and then.
Lin Bai looked at Gu Chen with a smile. With their insight, it was not hard to tell that Gu Chen had not made a breakthrough like they had, unable to harmonize with the world outside.
In their view, this was only to be expected. After all, they had lingered at this stage for nearly a year, and it was only through the opportunities in the spiritual realm that they managed to break through the Heavenly Earth Mystical Portal.
Seeing Lin Bai's demeanor, Gu Chen knew that Lin Bai didn't care at all about the lives and deaths of Shen Han and the warriors from the Tianxie Sect and Rakshasa Sect.
Although Lin Bai appeared to be amiable with a smile on his face, his nature was, in fact, extremely cold-hearted.
In his view, the lives of Shen Han and the others were insignificant, merely errand runners at his disposal. Whether they lived or died, it was all the same to him.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, the assembly of warriors from the holy lands began to move, heading towards the depths of the ancient temple.
Seeing them take action, Lu Xing, Shang Ying, Xue Jingyun, and the others who had followed here also set off.
Even though they clearly knew they weren't strong enough, they were unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle with all their might.
Success would be best; if not, at least they tried, with no regrets!
The path of martial arts relies on struggle and contention; if everything is given by others, even with numerous resources and guidance from famous masters, the ultimate achievement will be severely limited, at least in terms of spirit, and one will always be weak.
Therefore, Lu Xing, Shang Ying, and the others ignored the cold stares from the holy land warriors and strode forward, following closely behind.
Yuwen Wind, his expression cool, glanced at Lu Xing, Shang Ying, and the others, but didn't pay them much mind. In his eyes, these people were like ants, easily crushed.
To step back, even if they handed over the opportunity from this place, their sects wouldn't be able to defend it.
No matter who obtained the opportunity of this place, even Lin Bai and Gu Chen, they would still have to face the relentless pursuit of the six major holy lands.
Of course, the probability of outsiders obtaining the opportunity of this place was slim to none, and the ultimate victor would still emerge from among the six heirs of the holy lands.
Thinking of the supreme treasure of this place, Yuwen Wind's heart grew even hotter; this was an opportunity that could defy the heavens and change one's fate.
With transcendence within reach for the holy lands, out of the six of them, whoever succeeded in seizing this opportunity would also receive another tremendous benefit post-transcendence, one that would affect their entire lives!
Given the significance, Yuwen Wind and each of them were extremely cautious.
Even the six major holy lands were the same because the opportunity here could also indirectly affect the future of the six major holy lands.
