Chapter 1984

On the ancient and desolate altar, there were actually more than a dozen unknown objects placed. All those unknown objects were shrouded by a layer of dark light curtain, as if there was a bowl upside down on top of them And through that dark light curtain, although it was not very clear some prototypes could still be seen.

The objects shrouded within that light curtain were actually of various types and all-encompassing.

There were hammers, sword-shaped, dagger-like secret treasures, as well as yellowed cultivation method secret manuals, and also some jade bottles that looked to be very old at first glance. Each one seemed extremely extraordinary. Especially those secret treasures, they were actually emitting extremely powerful energy fluctuations. The lowest was also a Dao Source Grade secret treasure.

This made Yang Kai look extremely eager.

Not only him, but other martial artists who rushed here also looked towards the altar with greed and covetousness, and every one of them had a great desire.

“Could these things be the items placed here by those major forces？ Perhaps the Dao Source Fruit is here！” Suddenly, the voice of a martial artist came from the side.

“That’s not the case!” Someone spoke up and replied, “I came relatively early. I heard that this altar suddenly emerged from the ground and was not an original object. It seems that some friend touched the prohibition here to make the altar appear and the objects on it all exude an ancientsmell and are by no means placed by those major forces.”

“If that’s the case, the things on this altar have been here for a long time？ Are they treasures left over from ancient times？”

“Maybe so！”

“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and snatch them.”

The treasures left over from ancient times are still so well preserved. Their value is simply inestimable, countless times more precious than the treasures put in by those major forces. As soon as the news spread, many martial artists suddenly became excited.

Many martial artists who still wanted to observe for a while could no longer hold back all gathered their courage and rushed forward. Their actions immediately affected the nerves of others, and more and more martial artists began to take action.

Even Yang Kai began to move his steps. However, he did not rush to the front row but lagged behind in the middle position. In this way, he also had plenty of time to observe the movements of the martial artists in front. Lest he accidentally fall into some trap.

“Everyone, wait a moment!” Just then, a loud and powerful shout suddenly came, and then, a young man in white, with a graceful demeanor suddenly flew up into the sky.

This young man was born with red lips and white teeth, a handsome appearance, bright eyes, and an extraordinary bearing. At a glance, it could be seen that he came from an extraordinary background.

“Everyone, please don’t be impatient and listen to me.” The young man shouted again.

Many martial artists frowned and looked up impatiently. After all, the treasure was right in front of them, and at this time, someone suddenly stopped them from advancing, which was really annoying. Blocking someone’s way to wealth was no different from killing their parents. Such enmity was irreconcilable…

However, when everyone saw this person’s face clearly, many people obediently stopped in place, and some others also showed a look of sudden realization.

It turns out to be Young Master Jiang Chuhe！” Among the crowd, a martial artist who recognized the youth cupped his fists and said, “I wonder what Young Master Jiang means？ Could it be that you want to rely on the power of the Jiang family to monopolize the treasure on this altar？ If so, please don’t say any more, Young Master Jiang.

That’s right. The treasure belongs to those who are predestined. Although the Jiang family is not bad in Fenglin City, this place is the Five-Colored Pagoda. If Young Master Jiang wants to monopolize it, please think about it carefully.” Someone immediately echoed.”

Hearing what they said, Yang Kai also immediately understood the identity of this youth.

A member of the Jiang family in Fenglin City！

In Fenglin City, under the City Lord’s Mansion, there are also some family forces. Among them, the Jiang family has good strength and has an ancestor in the first level of the Dao Source Realm. Although Yang Kai has not dealt with the Jiang family much, when he was in Yuqing Mountain, he had seen the corpses of several Jiang family martial artists killed by the little Luanfeng.

This time, basically all the martial artists who entered the Five-Colored Pagoda are from Fenglin City. Naturally, many people recognize Jiang Chuhe, and even if they don’t know him, they have heard his name.

However… as that person said, if it were in Fenglin City, everyone might be concerned about the strength of the Jiang family’s old ancestor and give Jiang Chuhe some face. But in this Five-Colored Pagoda, the people of the Jiang family have no deterrence at all.

Moreover, the treasure is right in front of them.

People die for wealth and birds die for food. This is an eternal truth. Now, not to mention Jiang Chuhe, even if the old ancestor of the Jiang family came in person, these hundreds of Void King Realms would probably not be afraid at all.

Jiang Chuhe was not angry, but smiled and said, “This friend is too serious. With hundreds of fellow Taoists gathered here, even if I have the courage of a leopard, I dare not incur public anger. I have never thought of monopolizing the treasure or anything like that.”

“Then what does Young Master Jiang want to do？”

Jiang Chuhe continued to smile and said, “I just want to tell you all that where there is profit, there must be risk. Moreover, this is still the Five-Colored Pagoda！ Do you all think that the things on that altar are really within easy reach？ If so, those things would probably have been gone long ago, and how could they be waiting for us to go and collect them？”

“We naturally know this, but… if we hesitate and don’t move forward because of the risk, then what’s the point of cultivating？ We have already made up our minds！” The person who spoke before snorted coldly.

This friend has great courage！” Jiang Chuhe smiled at that person and then changed the topic, saying, “However… shouldn’t the friend first find out what exactly this altar is? As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

This is my first time entering this Five-Colored Pagoda, how could I know what this altar is? That person shook his head and shook, but soon, he looked at Jiang Chuhe in surprise and said, Does Young Master Jiang know? If so, please don’t hesitate to enlighten me.

Jiang Chuhe shook his head： “I don’t know either, but I think… there should be someone here who knows.”

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at a certain place in the crowd, with a smile on his face, and said, “Miss Qin, what do you think？”

The crowd followed his gaze and immediately saw a woman in the crowd who was surrounded by some martial artists like the moon among the stars. The woman was not very old, about twenty-five or six years old. She was petite and seemed to be suffering from some disease. Her complexion was sallow, her figure was thin, and her lips showed signs of being a little pale.

If it weren’t for these factors and her figure was a little more plump, then she would definitely be a beauty who could topple all living beings. Even so, the woman was like a flower swaying in the wind and rain, making people feel pity.

Seeing that Jiang Chuhe had shifted the attention of the crowd to herself, Miss Qin’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, revealing a hint of annoyance. The martial artists surrounding her also glared at Jiang Chuhe with great dissatisfaction.

“Miss Qin？ Is that the Qin Yu from the Qin family？” An exclamation came from the crowd, as if this Qin Yu was very famous.

“I’ve long heard that Miss Qin Yu has read widely since childhood and is erudite. Especially, she knows a great deal about the secret realms in the world. I wonder how much Miss Qin knows about this altar？ Please don’t hesitate to enlighten us. I and all my fellow martial artists here would be extremely grateful.” Jiang Chuhe’s face was as handsome as a jade, smiling gently, turning a blind eye to Qin Yu’s annoyance and the angry glares of the guards around her.

Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, suddenly understanding the intention of Jiang Chuhe to show off at this time.

This guy clearly wanted to inquire about the situation of this altar.

However, if he asked that Qin Yu alone, she might not be willing to say. But now, with this situation, under the gaze of everyone, Qin Yu was in a dilemma. Even if she didn’t want to say anymore, she had to.

No one wanted to arouse public anger.

This Jiang Chuhe still had a bit of scheming, but this method… was a bit despicable.

There were not a few martial artists who understood like Yang Kai, but because it was related to their own interests, none of them exposed it. Instead, they looked at Qin Yu with great interest.

“That’s right, Miss Qin. So many friends are here. If you know anything about this altar, please tell us. Is there any killing intent or danger here? We would be extremely grateful！”

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Qin Yu seemed a little uncomfortable. Or perhaps it was because the wind here was too noisy. She couldn’t help but cough lightly for a while and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

Beside Qin Yu, a guard in his forties or fifties with the Void King Third Layer Realm had a cold expression and saluted from a distance, saying, “My young lady has been in poor health since childhood and is not suitable to talk too much. Please forgive me, everyone!

Qin Yu reached out and gestured, and said softly, “It’s okay. Since Young Master Jiang and all the friends want to know… then I will talk about it.”

No one knew what kind of illness she had. Not only did she look listless, but also spoke weakly, which really made people worry.

However, when they heard that she was willing to talk about the situation of this altar, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked and looked at her expectantly.

“Miss Qin really has heard of this altar. Jiang admires it！” Jiang Chuhe’s eyes also lit up. What he did before was just a try, but unexpectedly, it hit the mark.

On the one hand, he also hoped that Qin Yu would speak in more detail so that he could understand this altar. On the other hand, he was afraid that others would get the information and compete with him. For a while, his mood was extremely complicated.

“This is the Ascending Dragon Altar…” Qin Yu said slowly. In the first layer of the Five-Color Pagoda here, the whole field was silent, and only Qin Yu’s weak voice drifted with the wind. “It takes the meaning of a fish leaping over the dragon’s gate and transforming into a dragon！”

“This Rising Dragon Altar… doesn’t appear at a fixed time, and its appearance location is also extremely erratic. It may be on the first floor, or it may be on the second floor, the fifth floor… It is rumored to have existed since ancient times. So… even if the people from the Star God Palace enter here, it’s not easy to see the Rising Dragon Altar.”

“According to the records in the classics of the Star God Palace, the Rising Dragon Altar has only appeared eight times in total… Every time it appears, it will be accompanied by the appearance of some rare treasures. If we can obtain one of them… perhaps we can leap over the dragon’s gate and it’s not impossible to cultivate to the realm of Emperor Venerable.”

“Leap over the dragon’s gate！”

“The realm of Emperor Venerable！”

Many warriors murmured, their eyes shining.

Most of the warriors in Fenglin City are at the bottom level. Although their strength is not too bad, because they don’t have any background or backer, it’s almost as difficult as taking a step further above the Void King Realm.

But Qin Yu’s words gave them hope, as if there was a broad road in front of them, leading directly to the throne of Emperor Venerable！
