Chapter 751: Daogu City

Chapter 751: Daogu City

Hearing Erya's words, Ye Guan's face immediately darkened. Clearly, Little White didn't mean that. Erya was just spouting nonsense. However, he didn't dare to continue asking, fearing that Erya might say something even more outrageous.

Qing Zhi glanced at Ye Guan and shook her head with a smile, "Let's go."

Ye Guan nodded. The group left the underground palace. Ye Guan was naturally happy. He had obtained a super divine artifact without much effort. Indeed, for archaeological expeditions, he needed to bring along these two little ones.

They continued deeper into the mountain range. Along the way, Qing Zhi tried several times to approach Little White, but Little White was indifferent to her, which made her somewhat helpless and envious of Ye Guan. Little White was very close to Ye Guan, often flying to his shoulder and patting his head.

Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Erya, can your physical body still be enhanced?"

Erya nodded. "It can, but it's very difficult."

"But can it still be enhanced?"

Erya nodded slightly. "Yes, but the conditions are very stringent."

Ye Guan was curious. "What conditions?"

Erya licked her candied hawthorn and said, "One way is through external means, but now, there are very few external things that can make an impact on me. The second way is through hard cultivation, but I'm quite lazy and don't want to cultivate diligently."

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.

Qing Zhi was also speechless.

Ye Guan smiled, "Just go with the flow! Anyway, Erya, you are already very invincible."

Erya glanced at Ye Guan, "Grandson, you know how to talk."

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile.

Erya suddenly said, "Little White and I have a dream."

Ye Guan was immediately interested, "What dream?"

Erya said, "To collect the best treasures in the universe."

Little White nodded quickly, waving her small paws in a very excited manner.

Ye Guan quickly said, "I support you both, unconditionally."

Little White grinned and patted Ye Guan's head. Erya, remaining calm, added, "You shouldn't rely too much on external objects, understand?"

Ye Guan was dumbfounded once more.

Before he knew it, the group had arrived in a valley. At the center of the valley was a massive altar, blood-red and eerie. Ye Guan glanced at Qing Zhi beside him, who shook her head slightly. "I don't know either."

Ye Guan nodded slightly. "Let's go check it out."

With Erya and Little White with him, he felt confident enough to explore anything.

They approached the altar, and as they neared it, Ye Guan's brow furrowed. He felt his bloodline reacting. Shocked, he carefully examined the altar, feeling curious. "Erya, can you see anything unusual?"

Erya looked at Little White, who waved her small paw energetically. At that moment, the altar suddenly trembled, and a terrifying blood-red face emerged from it, launching itself at Little White.

Ye Guan's face changed, and he was about to intervene when Little White pulled out a flaming hammer and struck the blood-red face with it.

Boom!

With a single hit, the blood-red face was slammed to the ground, writhing in agony, with faint flames flickering on its surface. Ye Guan looked at the hammer in Little White's hand. It wasn't very large, only the size of a child's arm, and it emitted a faint blood-red flame, looking very dazzling.

What kind of treasure is this? Ye Guan's face was full of curiosity as he wanted to borrow the hammer to have a look.

At this moment, Qing Zhi pointed at the blood face and asked, "What is that?"

Ye Guan looked at the blood face. It was still wailing in pain, with the faint flames clinging to it like maggots to rotting flesh. Erya, standing nearby, commented, "It's the spirit of this altar."

"How do you know they're coming back?"

"It's being talked about in Daogu City."

Ye Guan frowned. "Daogu City?"

At this moment, Qing Zhi, who was standing nearby, said, "I know about it. It was the main city of the Forest Civilization as recorded by our ancestors."

Ye Guan said softly, "It seems we need to check out this Daogu City."

The blood face said, "You won't be able to enter."

"Why not?"

"To enter Daogu City, you need the permission of the City Governor, and the City Governor has strictly forbidden outsiders from entering."

Ye Guan was curious. "There's a City Governor?"

The blood face nodded. "Yes, and very powerful."

At this, a look of fear appeared in its eyes.

Ye Guan turned to Qing Zhi. "We need to go to Daogu City."

The Forest Civilization was returning! His instincts told him that this would pose a significant crisis for the current Guanxuan Universe. After all, the Forest Civilization's overall strength was likely greater than that of the Guanxuan Civilization, aside from a few top figures like his father. In this situation, the return of the Forest Civilization would inevitably lead to conflict between the two civilizations.

Qing Zhi also realized this and said solemnly, "Whether they're really coming back or not, we need to prepare for the worst."

Now, she naturally stood on the side of the Guan Xuan Universe. Ye Guan nodded slightly, "Let's go and check it out first."

Qing Zhi looked at the blood face. "What about this?"

Ye Guan looked at Little White, who shook her head, indicating she didn't want it.

Ye Guan smiled. "Qing Zhi, do you want it?"

Qing Zhi also shook her head. Although this thing seemed good, its lack of brains would likely bring trouble if kept around. Besides, she didn't really need more divine objects.

Ye Guan smiled. "Then let's go."

With that, the group turned and left. The blood face was dumbfounded. Were they really going to abandon it? When Ye Guan and the others disappeared from view, the blood face's expression turned ugly. These outsiders really didn't take it seriously. Suddenly, it had an idea, and it turned into a streak of blood light, disappearing into the distance.

...

Among the mountains, Ye Guan and his group headed deeper into the range. As they walked, Qing Zhi spoke in a serious tone, "If the Forest Civilization really returns..."

Ye Guan said softly, "Two civilizations in the same universe will inevitably clash."

Qing Zhi nodded. "What's your plan?"

Ye Guan smiled. "Let's take a look first."

Qing Zhi nodded again, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes. This Forest Civilization seemed very strong, even more so than the past Shen Zhi Civilization.

Before long, after crossing a mountain peak, an ancient city appeared before them. It stood majestically on a plain.

Daogu City!

The entire city was incredibly grand. The city gate towered a thousand meters high, and the city walls were made of thousand-meters stone pillars that reached the clouds. Standing before this city, one couldn't help but feel insignificant.

Qing Zhi said softly, "Over the years, countless people have come here seeking opportunities. The rapid development of our Primordial Spirit Clan was partly due to this place..."

Ye Guan was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

He frowned and turned to look. When he saw who it was, he was stunned. "It's you."
