Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 38 Entering the Ancient Beast Abyss, Gu Jiancheng is 1st to last?

"Ha ha……"

However, the group of elite sects who were being mocked exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Gu Jiancheng's arrogant words were nothing but a joke to them.

"Amitabha Buddha, the first of the five precepts of Buddhism is not to lie."

"Today, I will give it to you, benefactor."

Fan Jingshan Wuchen clasped his hands together. Although he didn't smile, his gaze never fell on Gu Jiancheng.

In his eyes, he had seen far too many promising young talents like Gu Jiancheng who were new to fame and didn't know their place.

"I hope you will still say the same thing when I see you."

Xing Feng, a transfer student from the Heavenly Sword Sect, also spoke coldly.

The prodigy of the Ziwei Pavilion remained silent throughout, simply standing there quietly, as if everything outside the abyss was irrelevant to him.

They all now know that Gu Jiancheng possesses the Spirit-Binding Body.

Although this physique is said to be invincible in the same realm, it is a joke in their eyes.

Once your combat power breaks through to the Dao Palace Realm, the Spirit-Binding Body will be broken in an instant!

In comparison, they were more wary of Yunshuiyao.

It is said that he passed the tenth level of the Hundred Refinements in just half an hour, and he also forcibly blocked the Earth-rank talisman in the Battle of the Mountain.

Although it was ultimately severely damaged, it was enough to prove its potential.

However, Yun Yanran's eyes remained fixed on Yun Shuiyao, filled with a mixture of jealousy and murderous intent.

She couldn't understand why a cripple who had been stripped of his life soul could still enter the Tai Xuan Sect and even pass the Hundred Refinement Tenth Level!

Seeing Yunshuiyao's current ethereal beauty and extraordinary temperament only intensified her inner turmoil!

Yun Shuiyao and Gu Jiancheng both deserve to die!

hum!

Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly arose above the abyss, and the rampant tidal wave receded at an extremely strange speed, transforming in the blink of an eye into a huge vortex above the abyss, shaped like a funnel.

boom!

Just as everyone was astonished by this strange phenomenon, the mysterious light on the vermilion ancient token transformed into an ancient rune that suppressed the crowd, and a pitch-black crack slowly appeared.

"The Ancient Beast Abyss has been opened. Disciples of the four sects, please take your nameplates and enter immediately!"

The voice of the white-robed elder from Dongling Academy rang out, and the leaders of the four major sects descended to distribute disciple nameplates.

"This nameplate was specially crafted by Dongling Academy. I have already entered your identity information into it. After entering the Beast Abyss, as long as you hunt ferocious beasts, you can use this nameplate to absorb the ferocious souls and obtain a large number of points."

"In addition, this nameplate can also show your respective locations, making it easier to meet up."

"Moreover, if you encounter an insurmountable danger, you can crush this token to save your life and teleport out of the Beast Abyss."

The sect leader of Tai Xuan Sect handed out the nameplates and then said earnestly, "Remember, this Ancient Beast Abyss Competition is extremely dangerous. I hope you can put aside your past grievances and work together."

"As for the outcome, there's no need to be fixated on it. Just come out alive!" With that, the Sect Master of Tai Xuan returned to the giant ship of Dongling Academy.

"Upon entering the Ancient Beast Abyss, you will be randomly teleported. You must meet up with me as soon as possible."

Yun Shuiyao looked at Gu Jiancheng, as if to remind him: "Don't be reckless."

Gu Jiancheng's words have already made him the target of everyone's criticism. Even with the body of the Spirit-Binding Physique, he could never be a match for so many monstrous talents from various sects.

"My wife, don't worry, I'm not that weak."

"How about we have a competition?" Gu Jiancheng smiled, and seeing that Yun Shuiyao didn't seem to believe him, he added.

"Compare? Compare what?" Yun Shuiyao raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued.

"Let's compare points. If I win, you let me kiss you; if I lose, you let me kiss you." Gu Jiancheng shrugged.

Yunshuiyao: "..."

“I know you don’t dare,” Gu Jiancheng shook his head.

"I'll talk to you after you can beat me!"

Ke Yunshuiyao remained noncommittal and turned to rush towards the Beast Abyss.

"Young Master Gu, the mineral veins in the Ancient Beast Abyss depend on you." At this moment, Shen Ruyue also came over. "I believe you can do it."

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

Gu Jiancheng chuckled and then followed the main group into the abyss.

A moment later, all the disciples of the four sects disappeared before the Ancient Beast Abyss. The Sect Master of Tai Xuan and others also returned to the giant ship of Dongling Academy.

"Haha, it's been a long time since we've seen such a golden age. I'm really looking forward to the results of this competition!"

The white-robed elder suddenly smiled with his hands behind his back, then looked at the Heavenly Sword Sect Master and said, "Lin Cang, in the past, the champion of each competition has come from your Heavenly Sword Sect. I wonder if you still have confidence this time?"

"Naturally, the champion will come from the Heavenly Sword Sect. This has been the case before, and it will be the same this time!" The Heavenly Sword Sect Master's expression was indifferent, but his tone was extremely firm.

"You come to my Tai Xuan Sect to pay homage, and you're just as confident, aren't you?" But at this moment, the Tai Xuan Sect Master suddenly sneered.

Because of the Four Sects Grand Competition, he hadn't had time to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain gate to inscribe Tai Xuan's name.

But he will definitely get his revenge.

"Hmph, you only defeated a few ordinary disciples of my Heavenly Sword Sect. You, Tai Xuan, are not qualified to mock me!" The Heavenly Sword Sect Master glared at him, the hatred in his eyes seemingly barely suppressed.

"There's no need for such a war of words between the two of you. In this golden age, which sect is lacking in top-tier prodigies?"

"In that case, I think we shouldn't waste our breath on words, but rather take a gamble?"

But at this moment, the Ziwei Pavilion Master suddenly spoke. She was beautiful and elegant, but now she seemed full of fighting spirit.

"bet?"

“It’s not impossible, Baldy, what do you say?” The Heavenly Sword Sect Master was naturally not intimidated and looked at the abbot of Mount Fanjing.

The abbot of Fanjing Mountain, holding a Zen staff and wearing an eight-treasure kasaya, merely frowned slightly before nodding: "This humble monk will naturally not spoil your enjoyment."

"Very well, then I will bet on my Ziwei Pavilion's Mo Shang to win the grand prize!"

As the Pavilion Master Ziwei spoke, she raised her jade hand, and an orange-yellow ancient pill floated in the air.

"This is a top-grade Earth-rank Flowing Cloud Pill, a treasure of my Ziwei Pavilion. Taking it is equivalent to a year of arduous cultivation. I don't need you all to elaborate on its value!"

hiss!

Everyone's eyes fell on the pill, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

Because this elixir is of extremely high quality and is unique to the Ziwei Sect!

The fact that the sect leader of Ziwei Sect used this item as a wager shows how confident he was.

"Hehe, Mo Shang was never a disciple of your Ziwei Sect, but so be it. I'll bet on Xing Feng to win the championship. As for the wager, my sect will use this item!"

The Sword Sect Master smiled and pulled out a piece of emerald green bronze with a wave of his hand. Although it was only the size of a fist, it contained a sharp edge.

"Amber and green gold stone?" Upon seeing this, the Ziwei Sect Master and the others couldn't help but frown.

This is a top-grade earth-rank refining material, extremely valuable and unavailable.

Now even the Heavenly Sword Sect Master is willing to do it?

“Amitabha, this humble monk has never gambled in his life, so this time I will not bet on my own disciples. Whoever wins the championship, this humble monk will give this item to them.” The abbot of Fanjing Mountain raised his hand and actually took out a string of Buddhist beads.

"A level-one cultivator activates the Dust-Clearing Pearl? Heh, bald man, you stingy rooster actually plucked some feathers, that's rare!" The Ziwei Sect Master smiled, then looked at the Taixuan Sect Master, "Old Daoist, it's your turn."

"Does he have a choice? Naturally, it's Yunshuiyao," the Heavenly Sword Sect Master sneered.

Even though Yun Shuiyao may have extremely strong talent, her cultivation level is the lowest among all the top prodigies.

"Hehe, I bet on Gu Jiancheng to win. As for the wager, let's use this talisman!"

But when the Sect Master of Tai Xuan took out an ancient yellow talisman, everyone was astonished.

The Sect Master of Tai Xuan actually chose Gu Jiancheng?!

"Old Daoist, are you serious?" The Ziwei Pavilion Master raised an eyebrow. The Taixuan Sect Master actually didn't choose Yunshuiyao?

Even if Gu Jiancheng has the Spirit-Suppressing Body, he will have no advantage whatsoever in the Four Sects Grand Competition!

"Hehe, have you ever seen anyone joke around with a top-tier Earth-rank talisman?" But the Sect Master of Tai Xuan shrugged.

"Since you seniors are so enthusiastic, why not include this junior in the list? This junior is willing to offer a top-tier Earth-rank cultivation technique and also bet on Gu Jiancheng to win the championship!"

At this moment, Shen Ruyue also suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

"Miss Ruyue is also going to take Gu Jiancheng into custody?"

These sights left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, their expressions showing a sense of unease.

Could it be that Gu Jiancheng is hiding his fighting strength?

"Hahaha, the bet is settled, and I will be the referee!" At this moment, the white-robed elder from Dongling Academy laughed loudly and took all the treasures that everyone had brought out into his hands.

He immediately raised his hand, and a screen of light descended in front of everyone.

A dense array of light spots began to appear on the screen, along with a list full of names.

"Jiang Qi, you are bound to lose this time!" Heavenly Sword Sect Master Liu Cang suddenly sneered.

The Sect Master of Tai Xuan, however, appeared confident and said, "Let's wait and see!"

Li Piaomiao once said that Gu Jiancheng's talent and combat strength were extremely terrifying.

With such high praise, he believed Gu Jiancheng would surely win the championship this time!

"Ok?"

However, when his gaze fell on the light screen, his expression changed drastically.

Because four outstanding players have already started to climb the leaderboard, with Ziwei Pavilion's Mo Shang ranking first, having already scored two thousand points.

This can only be obtained by hunting two ferocious beasts at the peak of the late-stage barrier realm.

Following closely behind were Xing Feng of the Heavenly Sword Sect and Yun Shuiyao, both with 1,500 points.

However, there are now more than a thousand sect disciples on the list, but Gu Jiancheng's name is nowhere to be seen.

In other words, Gu Jiancheng has not yet hunted a single ferocious beast.

What's happening here?
