Chapter 636: Stars Tower and Star Luo God Ring
```
Ye Chen, even when he faced the East Territory King of the Eight Stars Venerable realm, and the Nine Suns Venerable figures such as Mrs. He and Elder Ku Du, couldn't make the Stars Tower within the depths of his inner sea tremble violently.
Yet, a mere glance from Long Li caused the Stars Tower in Ye Chen's inner sea to shake intensely; how could this not shock Ye Chen immensely?!
Although Ye Chen knew that Long Li had not detected the Stars Tower on him, the fact that she could induce such a reaction from the Stars Tower astonished him to the extreme.
What Ye Chen didn't know was that at that moment, the beautiful young lady Long Li, with her cold gaze, showed a hint of confusion in her eyes, but her heart was also greatly perturbed.
Because in the depths of her own inner sea, there was a ring-shaped treasure radiating the light of stars that was trembling frantically!
Only after several moments of trembling did this treasure finally calm down simultaneously with Ye Chen's Stars Tower.
Even after calming, Long Li couldn't believe it, "How could my 'Star Luo God Ring' react like this?! Even my master can't stir this treasure at all!"
After taking a deep look at Ye Chen, Long Li shifted her gaze away.
What no one else knew was that the girl's heart, as serene as her demeanor appeared to be, could no longer remain calm; she was now fully attentive to Ye Chen.
Their gazes diverged.
Ye Chen was also paying close attention to Long Li.
His attention was not due to Long Li's identity, but because of the disturbance of the Stars Tower!
Above the void.
After the six Venerables exchanged a few words, the time for the opening of the Nine Suns Ancient Land finally arrived.
At that time, Sovereign Zhao Kuo, appointed by the Southern Territory King to oversee this exploration of the Nine Suns Ancient Land, nodded to the various Venerables before stepping forward.
His voice echoed throughout the void, "The Nine Suns Ancient Land is an exploration site left by the Heavenly Divine Venerable, the Nine Suns Venerable, belonging to our Southern Territory."
"This land of exploration lies above the Sealed Nine Suns Continent to the east."
When Sovereign Zhao Kuo mentioned the Nine Suns Ancient Land, over ten million Martial Artists in the gathering all turned their gazes toward the large mainland continent to the east, where part of its massive silhouette could be faintly discerned.
Even Long Li couldn't help but become unsettled at the sight.
Sovereign Zhao Kuo continued, "This time, the participants venturing into the exploration are countless times more powerful than those from before, but the rules remain the same; the exploration of the Nine Suns Ancient Land will last one month. After one month, those still alive will be teleported out."
"This land was the domain left by the Heavenly Divine Venerable, and the treasures within erupt regularly every thousand years. Moreover, since our Southern Territory King Mansion has been in charge of this site, we have also placed numerous treasures and opportunities within it." Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"These treasures and opportunities are highly beneficial to Martial Artists below the Divine Venerable realm. Once inside, how much fortune you garner will depend on your own destiny."
"With opportunity, of course, comes peril."
"Many among you have already inquired about the dangers of the Nine Suns Ancient Land, but I will reiterate it now."
"The founder of the Nine Suns Ancient Land, the Nine Suns Venerable, was a Refining Master. The treasures he left behind are abundant. Similarly, there are numerous perilous areas. Many of these danger zones can easily annihilate Divine Kings."
"Furthermore, since the Southern Territory King Mansion has taken charge of this ancient land, it has been used as a training ground for the many Gods and Divine Kings of the Southern Territory. Along with the countless treasures and opportunities placed by the Southern Territory King Mansion, numerous terrifying Ancient Beasts have been introduced, and countless deadly traps have been set."
"Training brings rewards but also death! In every exploration of the Nine Suns Ancient Land, millions enter, but the number of deaths often reaches a third or even half!"
"Therefore, I would like to remind you not to be blinded by the lure of treasures; while seeking them out, ensure you also preserve your lives!"
"The entire Nine Suns Ancient Land exploration will last for one month. I hope that after one month, I will still see most of you here!"
Whoosh!
After Sovereign Zhao Kuo finished speaking, only a few individuals, like the ten God Kings with significant backgrounds above the void, and many true Gods with their own methods, managed to maintain their composure.
However, the vast majority of true Gods in the arena exhibited drastic changes in their expressions.
Individuals like City Lord Nie's seven juniors and Zhao Luo, although they had heard about the dangers of the Nine Suns Ancient Land, were on edge after hearing a sovereign's emphasis on it.
The true Gods from numerous Small Divine Cities and many from the Great Divine Cities were also looking extremely solemn.
Of course, although most true Gods were worried about their safety, they were even less willing to give up the opportunity to explore the Nine Suns Ancient Land.
The path of martial cultivation inherently carries great risk.
Events like heavenly tribulations and divine calamities, which have a high likelihood of being fatal, are impossible to avoid.
For the sake of gaining strength, these Martial Artists would naturally not miss out on opportunities simply due to risk.
However, everyone reminded themselves that once inside the Nine Suns Ancient Land, they must be extremely cautious and not become one of the many who die there.
Seeing the drastic change in the expressions of countless true Gods and their solemn attitudes, Sovereign Zhao Kuo nodded.

He said again, "The Nine Suns Ancient Land where the entire Nine Suns Continent is located is almost as vast as the large Star Continent in the Divine Kingdom. Although there are millions of martial artists wanting to enter, once they step into this immense Star Continent, they will be like droplets of water dispersing into the sea, scattering across various places."
"All your actions will depend on your own strength!"
"Once the Nine Suns Ancient Land officially opens, step into the Teleportation Divine Formation that leads into the Nine Suns Ancient Land, and start your one-month exploration!"
After finishing these words, Sovereign Zhao Kuo nodded towards a squad from the Southern Territory King Mansion that stood by in the void.
This squad had 108 members, 72 of whom were in the Divine King realm, led by 36 Heavenly Divine Venerables.
Upon seeing the signal from Sovereign Zhao Kuo, the 108 martial artists immediately vanished from the void.
In the next moment, they appeared alongside the Nine Suns Ancient Land.
All 108 martial artists had divine light flashing in their hands as a Divine Light Law Plaque materialized simultaneously in their grasp.
Then, these 108 Divine Light Law Plaques were raised, and beams of divine light shot into the sky from the plaques, transforming into massive Divine Beasts that pounced towards the many restrictive areas of the Nine Suns Ancient Land below.
Something shocking happened.
The entire sealed Nine Suns Ancient Land, with its Sealing Great Formations visible to the naked eye, began to dissolve as these tremendous Divine Beasts struck them. In the end, outside the Sealing Great Formation, 108 Teleportation Divine Formations, each spanning ten thousand feet, took shape.
"Just step into any of these 108 Teleportation Divine Formations to be transported into the Nine Suns Ancient Land."
"Now, martial artists who hold tokens for entering the Nine Suns Ancient Land can use their tokens to step into the Nine Suns Ancient Land!"
With a wave of his grand arm, Zhao Kuo and other martial artists exchanged glances before rushing towards the 108 Teleportation Divine Formations of the Nine Suns Ancient Land.
After taking several deep breaths, the others, not wanting to fall behind, spoke a few words to their relatives who had come with them and, under the watchful instructions of their families, also flew towards the Teleportation Divine Formations.
Among the more than ten million martial artists gathered in the void, millions swarmed into the 108 Teleportation Divine Formations like locusts, continuously disappearing from sight.
Ye Chen's gaze turned to the few Venerables above and the ten Divine Kings who hadn't moved yet, as if they were waiting for the martial artists below to enter before proceeding.
When Ye Chen looked at Long Li, this time, Long Li didn't look back but instead focused on the Nine Suns Ancient Land.
"Why can Long Li trigger my Stars Tower?"
"With her strength at the Upper God King realm, even capable of battling a Heavenly Divine Venerable, why would she enter an ancient land left by a Heavenly Divine Venerable?"
Ye Chen was filled with confusion.
However, he soon pushed these doubts to the back of his mind.
Ye Chen's primary goal in entering the Nine Suns Ancient Land was to improve his strength; as for the rest, if he couldn't understand it now, he would have to wait for another opportunity to figure it out.
"Let's go, too."
Ye Chen addressed Lin Xiaowan, Zhao Luo, and the seven descendants of City Lord Nie, including Nie Ningnin.
"Ningnin, be very careful after you enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land!"
"Brother Ye Chen, if you have the chance, please take care of my descendants."
Just like the other Divine Kings who stayed outside the Nine Suns Ancient Land to see off their kin, City Lord Nie admonished his descendants and also sought Ye Chen's assistance once more.
After seeing Ye Chen nod in agreement once again, he felt somewhat relieved.
Nevertheless, City Lord Nie knew that given the vastness of the Nine Suns Ancient Land, the chances of his descendants encountering Ye Chen were slim; they still had to rely on themselves.
After a brief conversation, Ye Chen, along with Lin Xiaowan, Zhao Luo, Nie Ningnin, and others, flew towards one of the 108 Teleportation Divine Formations.
Unbeknownst to Ye Chen, as they flew toward the Teleportation Divine Formation, although Long Li didn't look at him, her voice directly reached Lin Xiaowan's ears: "Sister Wan, what is the name of that young man in green clothes beside you? Right, Sister Wan, don't look at me, and don't tell anyone that I asked about his name."
Lin Xiaowan was utterly astounded and couldn't help but stop in mid-flight.
"Sister Long Li, his name is Ye Chen."
Lin Xiaowan, heeding her words, didn't look at Long Li but replied through a message.
But in her heart, Lin Xiaowan felt a surge of shock: "Why would Sister Long Li inquire about Ye Chen?!"
Lin Xiaowan had never seen the usually cold and detached Long Li ask about any male martial artist before.
If the countless martial artists from the nine divine colleges who adored Long Li knew she was inquiring after Ye Chen's name, Ye Chen would undoubtedly be submerged by an onslaught of jealous glares!
