Chapter 77 Gu Jiancheng Returns, Your Second Brother is Dead!
No, you can find immortal artifacts in this Kunwu Secret Realm?
Even a Heavenly-Rank magical artifact, like the Boundary-Breaking Cone, is priceless.
So what is the value of a celestial artifact?
At least for now, there isn't even a single "immortal" item in his system shop.
There's a world of difference between celestial artifacts and immortal artifacts!
Although the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron is now damaged and its power is less than one ten-thousandth of that of a celestial artifact, it is still incomparable to the Boundary-Breaking Cone.
Suppressing his surprise and excitement, Gu Jiancheng quickly raised his hand and took the broken cauldron into his grasp.
The moment he held it, Gu Jiancheng realized that the cauldron was really heavy.
Now his physical strength is incredibly powerful, even enough to knock back a Beast King at the peak of the Four Symbols Realm with a single punch, but he actually feels a bit strained while holding the Myriad Symbols Cauldron.
Perhaps, if this cauldron were thrown out like a stone, it would be enough to give even a top-tier beast king a hard time.
However, it's a real shame that what was originally a celestial artifact has now become a heavenly artifact.
Gu Jiancheng was not giving up. He put the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron into his system inventory and began testing it.
A moment later, a system notification sounded.
Gu Jiancheng's expression became extremely complicated.
Good news! The Myriad Manifestations Cauldron can be repaired, or at least restored to the quality of a half-step immortal artifact.
Bad news, it's expensive!
And it's ridiculously expensive!
Just to restore the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron to the Dao Rank quality, it would require 150,000 favorability points?
This is absolutely terrible!
Shaking his head, Gu Jiancheng could only temporarily abandon the idea of repairing the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron.
Immediately afterward, Gu Jiancheng used the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to absorb all the spiritual milk resources in the space before returning to the altar.
At this moment, Cai Kun arrived with Bai Rou'er.
They have swept away all the opportunities in the ancient city and reaped a great harvest.
But looking at the area in front of them, which had been ravaged by some unknown supernatural power, Cai Kun and Bai Rou'er were both dumbfounded.
Everything within a radius of ten feet turned to ashes, and they had clearly sensed the presence of an extremely powerful beast king here before.
That beast king's aura is more like that of a dragon!
"Brother Gu, have you resolved everything?" Bai Rou'er's big eyes sparkled like stars.
"Hmm, there's no more treasure here. Let's go!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded, then immediately took control of the central array of the altar and restored the ancient city's restrictions.
A magical array enveloped the three of them, and the next moment they were teleported directly out of the Kunwu Mountain Secret Realm.
"Gentlemen, your journey to the secret realm is over. Do you have any plans?"
Gu Jiancheng asked with his hands behind his back.
This time, he reaped extremely rich rewards, and it was time for him to return to Dongling.
"This……"
Cai Kun pondered for a moment and said, "I have traveled all over the world, and I still don't know where to go."
Bai Rou'er bit her lip and said timidly, "I haven't figured out the family's troubles yet, so I want to continue investigating."
"yourself?"
Gu Jiancheng shook his head upon hearing this.
Although Bai Rou'er is a demon, her combat strength is weaker than that of humans. If investigated alone, she would be nothing more than a walking piece of fat meat.
"In that case, why don't you come with me to the Eastern Mausoleum?"
“At least we can look out for each other. As for your family’s affairs, I can help you investigate.” Gu Jiancheng thought for a moment and then said.
Both Cai Kun and Bai Rou'er are talented and have excellent character, so it would be better to develop them directly into your team.
"Oh!? Going to the Eastern Regions?"
"You know what, of the four domains, I've never actually been to the Eastern Domain!" Cai Kun rubbed his hands together, already quite excited.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Gu." Bai Rou'er was more than willing.
At least in her opinion, Gu Jiancheng and Cai Kun were able to protect her, and she felt very safe.
"Haha, it's settled then, I'll use my Spirit Crow."
Cai Kun was overjoyed and immediately summoned the Black Feather Spirit Crow, taking Gu Jiancheng and Bai Rou with him as they headed towards the Eastern Region.
On the way, Gu Jiancheng took out his nameplate.
This time, Gu Jiancheng of Kunwu Mountain killed countless ferocious beasts, and with the addition of the contributions he plundered from other disciples, he now has an astonishing 500,000 contribution points!
One hundred thousand of them even came from the slaying of the Dark Dragon!
He didn't know what ranking his 500,000 contribution points would place in the four regions, but at least in the Eastern Region, no one could surpass him!
In short, he was certain to win the bet with his wife.
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng sat cross-legged and began to refine the spiritual milk within his body.
His time is precious and cannot be wasted.
Although Lingwu's speed could not compare to the Youlong Body Technique, it still approached Dongling City two days later.
"Brother Gu, what's with all the laughing? It's kind of creepy!"
On the back of the spirit crow, Cai Kun raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Jiancheng.
Along the way, Gu Jiancheng, who was cultivating, would suddenly burst into strange laughter from time to time, which made Cai Kun's scalp tingle.
"Oh, nothing."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng quickly suppressed the urge to smile.
He smiled because his system's favorability rating was constantly increasing.
Although he and Yunshuiyao are not together, his favorability towards her will increase whenever she misses him.
When he entered the Northern Region, his favorability rating was only a little over a thousand, but now it is over five thousand.
It's clear how many times Yunshuiyao missed him during his absence.
How could he not smile when his wife was thinking of him?
But at this moment, the compass in Gu Jiancheng's hand suddenly flashed with light. He was stunned at first, and then opened the compass.
It was a message from Li Biluo.
However, after listening to this, Gu Jiancheng's expression suddenly turned extremely cold.
After entering the Eastern Region, the compass regained its communication capabilities.
The Rakshasa Sect reported two pieces of news.
First, the northern region.
The Holy Land has announced that all Beast Kings have been killed and the Beast Calamity is over. However, after the cultivators from the two academies still did not appear, the experts from the Northern Wilderness and Yunshan Academy entered the Kunwu Secret Realm, but were blocked by the ancient city's restrictions. They are still trying to break the formation.
Second, the Eastern Regions.
The beast calamity in the Eastern Region has passed, and almost all the ferocious beasts have been slain.
But what shocked and angered Gu Jiancheng was that all the previous generation of disciples from the Tai Xuan Sect who had entered the Dongling Academy for cultivation had perished!
Before Gu Jiancheng entered Dongling Academy, they went out to hunt demons with the academy's master, but due to the targeting of the eldest son of the Huangfu family, they all died at the hands of ferocious beasts!
He would never see these senior brothers and sisters he had never met before.
How could Gu Jiancheng possibly endure such hatred and humiliation?
It seems that the Huangfu family cannot be allowed to remain!
Dongling Academy.
The academy disciples who participated in this mission to resist the beast calamity returned to the mountain gate almost simultaneously, waiting for the academy master to collect their contribution points.
Contribution points will be reported to the Holy Land, which will then reward participants based on their ranking.
The higher the ranking, the richer the rewards.
Moreover, this ranking is not only within the Dongling Academy, but also involves disciples from eight academies across four regions.
Therefore, the higher the ranking, the more famous one will be in the four regions, which is very prestigious.
This is why the disciples of the four academies are fighting so hard for contribution points.
However, when Yun Shuiyao led Su Wanzhi and the others to the front of Dongling Academy, they found that there were many unfamiliar faces in the crowd.
These disciples were older than they looked. After listening to Shangguan Linglong's explanation, she realized that these people were mid-level disciples of Dongling Academy.
Before entering the academy, they will remain in the academy to continue their training.
Previously, the lord of the manor had taken these disciples out to hunt demons, which is why they encountered this misfortune.
Among these people, two had the strongest auras, one from the Huangfu family and the other from the Chen family.
Especially the eldest son of the Huangfu family, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Dao Palace Realm, and whose aura is extremely strong.
However, while mid-level disciples from various universities can participate in the Beast Calamity operation, they will not be included in the rankings.
Therefore, it is said that the last Four Symbols Realm Beast King in the Eastern Region died at the hands of this person and the Second Lord.
The contribution points earned will inevitably be attributed to Huangfu Qingtian in order to compete for a higher ranking.
However, Yun Shuiyao was not flustered. Although she missed the Beast Emperor, Gu Jiancheng gave her a Nine-Bend Demon Lotus when he left, so she received a lot of contribution points.
"Hehe, Junior Sister Yun, where is Gu Jiancheng? Could he have died in the jaws of a ferocious beast?"
Huangfu Wentian seemed quite pleased with himself and took the initiative to ask questions.
"Your whole family died in the jaws of a ferocious beast!"
Before Yun Shuiyao could speak, Shangguan Linglong, who was behind her, came up and started cursing.
Who does this little tyrant spoil?
"you!"
Huangfu Wentian's face flushed red, but he couldn't out-argue Shangguan Linglong.
"Instead of worrying about him, you should be more concerned about your contribution rankings," Yun Shuiyao said with a faint smile. "Perhaps he'll be at the top!"
"Haha, he's number one on the contribution list?"
But as soon as the song of Yunshui fell, all the cultivators of the Huangfu family lineage burst into wild laughter.
"How ridiculous!"
"Hmph, we've never even seen that Gu Jiancheng. He either died in the Hundred Refinement Tower or was devoured by a ferocious beast. What makes him think he can compete for the top spot on the contribution list?"
"Moreover, you probably don't know this, but my second brother went to the Northern Region to hunt ferocious beasts a long time ago, and now the ferocious beasts in the Northern Region have been wiped out!"
"At that time, who can compare to my second brother's contribution value?" Huangfu Wentian sneered.
Behind him stood the eldest son, Huangfu Lintian, with an air of disdain on his face.
He still has 80,000 contribution points, and when he adds the points Huangfu Qingtian got from the Northern Region, he will definitely take the top spot on the contribution point leaderboard of Dongling Academy.
This is indisputable.
Because there are only so many ferocious beasts in the Eastern Region, it's simply not enough to go around!
"Oh?"
This surprised Yun Shuiyao. No wonder she had never seen Huangfu Qingtian, the former top genius, because he had also gone to the Northern Region.
"Hehe, now you understand, right?"
"Don't even mention Gu Jiancheng, whose fate is unknown. Even if you all joined together, you still couldn't compare to my second brother!" Huangfu Wentian sneered arrogantly.
I thought Yunshuiyao was stunned.
"But is it possible that Gu Jiancheng also went to the Northern Region?"
What caused all the cultivators of the Huangfu lineage to change their expressions was that Yun Shuiyao chuckled again.
Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with contempt.
"He...he went to the Northern Region? This...this is impossible!"
Huangfu Wentian regained his senses, but felt a little flustered.
Could it be that Gu Jiancheng is really not dead?
"Hehe, Miss Yun, perhaps you have too high expectations for him. If he goes to the Northern Region, he will never come back."
At this moment, Huangfu Lintian laughed loudly.
His second brother's personality was such that he would never allow anyone to step on his head. If Gu Jiancheng also went to the Northern Region, he would surely die if he encountered his second brother!
After all, there are still powerful members of the Shentu family there.
"Stop fantasizing."
"I have killed Huangfu Qingtian!"
However, before the eldest son of the Huangfu family could finish laughing...
Suddenly, an extremely cold voice resounded throughout the academy's gates from above the clouds!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of the sound and were shocked to see a huge black bird, several meters long, breaking through the clouds and falling down.
On its back stood three figures, one of whom was the newly crowned champion of the genius list!
Gu Jiancheng!
