Book 7, Chapter 4: Advancing In A Straight Line

Scarlet Fowl Mountains

This was an exceptionally large ’s border

This e had once been known as the Golden Fowl Mountains However, once it becaainst the Beasts, much blood had been spilled here, which hy it was non as the Scarlet Fowl Mountains instead

Cloud Rising experienced e Beast Waves every year

Tens of thousands of Beasts would invade by crossing the border and inflicting devastation on the nearby territory

Cloud Rising expended quite a bit of strength in order to repel the Beast Waves

They were the only country that really lacked the ability to attack any of the other countries Ninety percent of their military was necessary to hold the front lines

As such, Cloud Rising as a nation suffered immensely Too many heroes and warriors had spilt their blood here They completely disdained any internal squabbles and only desired to exterminate the Beasts As such, their hope had always been that the various races would set aside their differences and focus on defeating the Beasts instead, but this hope had only ever been a fantasy

They were also the country that needed theproduced in E and Greatwind, with Cloud Rising getting the majority of that share

The other countries would also often send reinforce

This was a clear de to maintain its borders

As such, when the Boundless Sect called for the unification of the Seven Kingdoxi resisted very little Even though he didn’t like the fact that the Boundless Sect see his authority, the opportunity to join hands and deal with these Beasts was not so he could pass up He had made the correct ethical choice

An unprecedentedly large arathered today at the border of this no-on Boats floated in the sky, battle drums beat steadily, and banners aved as the ar as far as the horizon

At the center of the Dragon Boat flotilla was a giant floating palace being towed by thirty six on Boats

The Boundless Palace

This Boundless Palace was new and ier, to the point that it was almost the size of one of the Harpies’ miniature fortresses

In fact, the palace did have the aura of a fortress Its defensive and offensive capabilities were already quite impressive; now that Su Chen had made further modifications to it, its functionalities had been enhanced The Boundless Sect’s poas too great, however,that no one had yet forced out the Boundless Palace’s true power yet

As such, the palace’s sy was more important than its practical use

In other words, it was roundbreakingly greatwas great not in terms of its attendance but because of the identities of those participating

Su Chen, Chu Yuan, Li Wuyi, Jiang Jusheng, Feng Zhuying, Du Qingxi, Cheng Qikong, Gu Xinrong, Gu Qingsong, etc were all present They were existences that stood at the very peak of the huh to cause the earth to tremble beneath them

As the Sect Master, Su Chen unquestionably sat at the very top seat Even though he was the youngest ast all of thely, beside Su Chen sat a white-haired old man

The old man appeared withered, and his eyes seemed lifeless His facial hair ispy and unke-stemmed pipe in his hand from which he would take occasional puffs The s any high-quality substances

However, not a single person ae

He was the oldest living ancestor of the Gu Clan Actually, it was perhaps accurate to say that he was the ancestor of everyone present

He was one of the Glorious Emperor’s sons!

After the Illustrious Divine Dynasty had fallen, htered Only a single inheritor of the bloodline was spared: Gu Hui

At that time, he was only a three-year-old child

The fact that he had survived until now meant that he had lived 3,600 years already This was most likely the limit achievable by any huon Bloodline could acco to say that every member of the Gu Clan had inherited his bloodline and that they were all related to him in one way or another, to the point that even the official records couldn’t keep track of how exactly they were related As such, everyone just referred to hiluo, and even for Gu Xinrong and the other twelve Gu Clan elders

In fact, even the rulers of the seven countries needed to refer to him as such

Naturally, Su Chen hiinally had no intention of inviting hi on this expedition to attack the Beasts This Ancestor was actually quite like a Desolate Beast in the sense thatto keep hioal was to live as long as he could and surpass the liued most of the other members of the Gu Clan

And he had indeed done so Before hi Gu Clan member had only survived to around 3,200 years old

But this old ancestor suddenly see his lifespan, he had decided to accoht Su Chen off-guard
