Chapter 451: Traveling Together

“Hmm? What’s going on? Why do I suddenly feel a chill down my spine?”

The white-haired elder’s heart skipped a beat as an inexplicable chill emerged from the depths of his heart. This sudden throbbing made his heart involuntarily tremble.

Cultivators trusted their instincts the most. After all, at their level, although they could not foresee the future, they could still sense that something was amiss to some extent.

Now, his intuition was telling him that danger lay ahead. So it was definitely not unfounded. Intuition would not lie. Perhaps some great peril awaited him in the future.

However, no matter how much the white-haired elder racked his brains, he still could not figure it out.

In the end, his gaze slowly landed on the desolate mountains in the distance. If there was any danger, it could only be in that place where the inheritance left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master lay. It was fraught with danger and many experts of the same level would be entering as well.

Although Fellow Daoist Chen Su had spoken up earlier, whether or not anyone would actually heed those words was another matter entirely. After all, backstabbing was commonplace among the ancient myriad races. It was still frequent for them to be discontent with one another.

He also considered that his ancestor would not be by his side at all times. Lacking any trump cards, he could only find someone to accompany him there. His clan placed great importance on the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master this time. They had brought more than one secret weapon.

However, it was a pity that all those secret weapons were on that saint king. After all, formidable treasures often required formidable strength to support. Take the example of imperial weapons. In the hands of a great saint and a saint king, the might displayed would be vastly different.

But who should he invite to accompany him? The elder was conflicted. His gaze swept through the crowd as he pondered over potential teammates.

Yet in the end, after thinking it through, the elder’s gaze ultimately landed on Chen Su again. In his opinion, it would be better to follow Fellow Daoist Chen than to invite anyone else. After all, Fellow Daoist Chen was extraordinarily benevolent, so there was no way he could possibly backstab someone.

Most importantly, Fellow Daoist Chen also had a quasi-emperor’s talisman on him. Not to mention anything else, that alone would suffice for protecting his life. He did not care about obtaining the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master. As long as he could gain some benefits from tagging along, there would practically be no danger.

If the two of them were to help each other, as long as they did not encounter any Saint King Realm masters, they would be able to act as they pleased with impunity. This was simply an invincible combination!

Immediately, the white-haired elder made up his mind. After considering his wording, he took two steps forward next to Chen Su and said, “Fellow Daoist, your words today have opened my eyes! If Fellow Daoist doesn’t mind, why don’t we travel together down the path ahead so we can take care of each other? What are your thoughts, Fellow Daoist?”

“Oh?” Upon hearing the elder’s words, Su Chen raised his eyebrows, a surprised look flashing across his face. Earlier, he had still been thinking about how he could quietly kill this white-haired elder, then frame “Su Chen” to incite internal strife among the ancient myriad races. Then, he could take advantage of the chaos to save Ye Ruxue while everyone was distracted.

However, what he did not anticipate was…the soft target in his eyes had actually taken the initiative to approach him instead. This was both a good thing and a troublesome matter for Su Chen.

The good news was that since the elder had proactively come forward, it was almost certain that no one among those present had seen through his background or doubted his identity one bit. As long as Su Chen did not take the initiative to court death, there would be almost no mishaps moving forward.

But the troublesome part was that his purpose in coming here was to rescue Ye Ruxue and vie for the inheritance left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master. If this elder was by his side, not only would Su Chen be unable to make a move against him, but he would also be unable to leave and deal with others.

Moreover, if this elder were to perish by his side, the ancient myriad races would discover his identity regardless of how dim-witted they might be. In that case, Su Chen would also find it difficult to muddy the waters anymore.

Thinking of this, Su Chen grew somewhat hesitant.

“I came here alone from the East Barrens. I too wish to find someone to travel together with. 1 wonder what Fellow Daoist Chen’s thoughts are?”

At this moment, the middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Clan also walked over with cupped fists. He had originally planned to join forces with the Thundercloud Hou Clan experts to vie for the inheritance left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master.

However, what he did not anticipate was…the Thundercloud Hou Clan experts had been intercepted by Su Chen midway. As a result, his situation became extremely awkward.

One must understand that the Golden Crow Clan was in the East Barrens while the majority of forces present were ancient experts from the Southern Region. They were considered local forces and were completely unfamiliar with him.

He was not confident about cooperating with others, fearing that they would end up exploiting or backstabbing him instead. On the other hand, he felt quite good about the Fellow Daoist Chen before him. If he were to travel together with this person, perhaps there would be some unexpected gains. That was why he had boldly approached Su Chen, hoping to join hands.

“All, this…” Upon hearing the middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Clan, Su Chen was slightly stunned and failed to react in time. He did not expect that his casual words from before would actually end up duping two allies. If these two were handled appropriately, they would be of considerable use to him.

“With both of you showing such generosity, 1 can’t bring myself to refuse. Let three of us travel together.” Su Chen collected himself and revealed a faint smile.

The three of them quickly formed a small team. Standing together, they chatted with one another, momentarily giving off the illusion that they were talking light-heartedly with great enthusiasm. Those who did not know better would assume they were old friends.

Several days later.

Under everyone’s watch…

A buzzing sound rang out as the mountains floating in the distant universe suddenly trembled. An extremely profound fluctuation spread in all directions.

At the same time, a white jade staircase extended out from the summit of a divine mountain until it reached the eyes of the crowd below.

This white jade staircase seemed to be condensed from Laws. It was covered in mysterious symbols with countless intertwining patterns as if a Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had manifested before everyone’s eyes.

Upon the white jade steps, there were even immortals gracefully dancing, dragons and phoenixes singing in harmony, fish leaping over the dragon gate… All sorts of odd scenes slowly emerged, leaving people clicking their tongues in wonder.

Everyone present possessed extraordinary strength. They could all discern that this white jade staircase was not refined from some divine material but had been condensed purely by the immense magic power of someone. Not even a saint king could accomplish something like this, let alone a mere great saint..
