Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 625 - Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold

Qiu Yuexin suddenly changed the topic and asked, “Have you ever heard of the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold?”

“Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold?” Chen Fan asked, looking puzzled.

Qiu Yuexin said, “I’m sure you also know that on the Ancient Trial Roads, aside from all the trials, one can also come across opportunities, like ruins and legacies of ancient sects, and so on.”

“Right.” Chen Fan’s eyes lit up. “Is this Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold the ruins of some sect?”

Qiu Yuexin nodded with a smile and replied, “That’s right! And it’s not the type that’s been explored countless times with all the treasures long gone. This ruin has appeared for the first time.”

Chen Fan’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

No wonder the Dragon God Army was chasing after Qiu Yuexin. A newly discovered ancient sect ruin likely held many precious treasures, tempting anyone who heard about it.

Qiu Yuexin continued, “This Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold was once in the Black Flame City. It is said to be in a microcosm, with many natural treasures of heaven and earth, including even Dragon Marrow.”

“Dragon Marrow!” Chen Fan’s mind shook.

He recalled the foot-long Dragon Marrow he had obtained on Hidden Dragon Island. That single treasure had made his cultivation advance rapidly, allowing him to fight and defeat Ye Cangxuan and Yin Jiu.

Dragon Marrow wasn’t just valuable to Core Formation realm martial artists; it was a priceless treasure even for Divine Nascent realm experts.

“That’s right!” Qiu Yuexin nodded and said, “I’m sure you know about microcosms. They are considered grotto heavens and blessed lands. The Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold once controlled this microcosm, using it as the sect's headquarters. It’s even rumored that this microcosm was a dragon's nest, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Dragon Marrows were produced there.

“The Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold is expected to reappear soon. However, if you wish to enter, you need a special token called the Sky Dragon Token.

“There are a total of nine tokens. Collecting all nine is the only way to open the passage to the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold.” Qiu Yuexin explained in great detail.

“I obtained this Sky Dragon Token by chance, but word got out, and now the Dragon God Army is hunting me down for it."

Qiu Yuexin looked at Chen Fan and continued, “I’m willing to give this Sky Dragon Token to you. I wonder if you’re interested?”

“Give it to me?” Chen Fan looked at Qiu Yuexin in surprise.

This was a pass to enter the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold. Its importance was obvious. So, it was surprising that Qiu Yuexin would offer it to him.

“You just said that one needed to have the Sky Dragon Token if they wanted to enter the microcosm. You also know the importance of this token. Are you really willing to give it to me?”

Qiu Yuexin smiled, looking very pretty and pleasing to the eyes. Her pleasant voice chimed, “Others can enter the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold when the passage opens, even without the token. However, possessing the Sky Dragon Token could lead to trouble, even if you haven’t done anything wrong. In short, it’s a hot potato that I can’t handle."

Although she had reached the peak of the first-level Divine Nascent realm, she was still far from strong enough on the ancient road where monstrous geniuses abound.

In the Dragon God Army, characters like her were aplenty.

Keeping the Sky Dragon Token would be a disaster for her, as others would constantly try to seize it, putting her safety at risk.

If she hadn’t encountered Chen Fan, she would likely have already perished.

“I can’t protect this Sky Dragon Token, but you can. I’ll give it to you, provided you take me with you when the microcosm opens," Qiu Yuexin said.

However, Chen Fan asked, “In that case, why didn’t you offer it to the Dragon God Army?”

Qiu Yuexin smiled bitterly and said, “I tried, but the Dragon God Army is too tyrannical and refused to let me live.”

“That makes sense.” Chen Fan nodded. The Dragon God Army was indeed incomparably tyrannical.

Naturally, Chen Fan would not refuse the Sky Dragon Token.

After all, treasures were everywhere in the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold. Chen Fan was already tempted when Qiu Yuexin first mentioned it. How could he miss such an opportunity?

He could also follow the crowd into the microcosm without a Sky Dragon Token. However, he could now take the initiative with his Sky Dragon Token, taking a more active position.

“Alright, I’ll accept your Sky Dragon Token.” Chen Fan took the Sky Dragon Token.

Although the Sky Dragon Token was a hot potato, his skin was thick enough that it wouldn’t burn him. As for the Dragon God Army, he wasn’t afraid of them either.

“I plan to find a place in this mountain range to advance to the Divine Nascent realm. Once I’m stronger, I’ll be able to confront the Dragon God Army with greater confidence. Why don’t you stay with me?” Chen Fan told Qiu Yuexin.

Qiu Yuexin did not refuse his offer.

The stronger Chen Fan was, the better it was for her.

......

Chen Fan and Qiu Yuexin descended into a remote valley.

They weren’t worried about missing the opening of the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm. After all, without the Sky Dragon Token in their possession, the others couldn’t open the microcosm.

News of the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm had spread widely, and many people rushed to the area. A bloody fight was inevitable. Without sufficient strength, they would be insignificant and at risk of death.

Therefore, gaining strength before the microcosm opened was crucial for their safety.

Chen Fan did not waste any time. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began trying to advance to the Divine Nascent realm.

With a wave of his arm, a sea of primeval stones appeared and ignited. A massive amount of primeval qi rushed into him.

Chen Fan had spent all his primeval stones to advance to the nine-revolution Golden Core realm. However, after wiping out the three great clans of Shunan Prefecture and looting their fortune, he now had an abundance of cultivation resources.

Poof, poof, poof...

Boom, boom, boom...

Primeval stones burst open one after another. The pure primeval qi formed a storm, which Chen Fan promptly absorbed.

His aura erupted violently.

“The golden core cracks, and the divine nascent appears...”

The true primeval inside Chen Fan burned violently, bringing his strength to the peak.

Woo, woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo...

Whirlwinds appeared around Chen Fan, constantly spinning and dancing.

Boom, boom, boom!

As the sea of primeval qi rushed into Chen Fan, his golden core instantly expanded. Vague contours of his divine nascent became visible within the golden core.

The golden core shattered, and the divine nascent emerged and settled in his glabella. Chen Fan felt as though a wall had appeared before him. However, it quickly collapsed under his forceful blow.

Crack, crack.

Cracks appeared on his golden core.
