Chapter 537 The Divine Stone Dungeon is About to Open, and All Sides Gather
Chapter 537 The Divine Stone Dungeon is about to open, and all parties are gathering.
At the edge of Fortress No. 4, the authorities have set up a large viewing platform that can accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch at the same time.
Several hours before the entrance to the Divine Stone Dungeon opens, a large number of professionals and spectators have already gathered here. The Divine Stone Dungeon only opens once every twenty years, and its ultimate reward is a Talent Divine Stone containing mysterious power, making it even more coveted.
Although this divine stone is only a part of the legend, it is said that the power it contains is enough to greatly assist cultivators in breaking through bottlenecks. The complete divine stone has long been lost; only the half-piece that appears once every twenty years in this divine stone instance is the target of fierce competition.
As time went on, more and more professionals gathered there. They came alone or in groups, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.
Jiang Chen walked silently through the crowd. He noticed that many young professionals had made new friends in just a few days, and some had even embarked on their own adventures. Their laughter and mutual support warmed Jiang Chen's heart.
Besides young people, many older folks also came here. Some were looking for opportunities to break through their limitations, while others wanted to relive the adventurous passion of their youth. They gathered together, exchanging past experiences and future plans, creating a lively atmosphere.
The number of people on the viewing platform grew larger and larger, but one area remained exceptionally quiet. That was the VIP area, accessible only to distinguished guests officially invited by the authorities. Jiang Chen, as a rising young powerhouse who had emerged in recent years, was naturally among those invited.
His appearance attracted a lot of attention. People were talking about this young divine general; his strength at only level fifty-something was truly remarkable, making everyone marvel at his extraordinary talent. Just as Jiang Chen was quietly waiting for the Divine Stone dungeon to open, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a tall, burly man smiling at him. This man was dressed in leather armor, wielding a giant hammer, and looked incredibly imposing.
"Young man, did you come alone?" the burly man asked.
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he had not come with a partner. He was actually a little worried because he had been searching for Lin Cai'er but had not yet been able to contact her.
Seeing this, the burly man laughed and said, "It's alright, young man. Someone as outstanding as you will definitely come looking for you. Unlike a rough guy like me, who is big and burly, I doubt anyone would want to team up with me."
Jiang Chen was amused by his frankness. He shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own characteristics and strengths. You don't need to belittle yourself."
The two chatted idly, waiting for the moment the Divine Stone dungeon would open. Jiang Chen suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with joy, and then resolutely walked forward.
"Young man, that's the VIP section, not a place you can just go anywhere!" the burly man shouted anxiously.
Someone noticed Jiang Chen's movements, "How dare someone trespass into the VIP section? They really don't know their own limitations."
“The VIP section is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and is heavily guarded by the military. If he barges in like this, he’ll probably get into big trouble.”
"This young man is probably in for some bad luck."
"I wonder which country bumpkin he is, so ignorant of manners."
"Look, the military has already rushed over."
Several soldiers quickly arrived and blocked Jiang Chen's path, sternly warning, "Halt! This is the VIP area; unauthorized entry is prohibited!"
However, Jiang Chen nonchalantly revealed his three-star Divine General badge, pinning it to his chest. Several soldiers instantly fell silent in respect, saluting in unison, "Divine General!"
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, walked past them, and went straight into the VIP section.
This scene stunned everyone.
"This young man is actually a divine general?"
"Is there any mistake?"
"A mistake? Unless the sun rises in the west, how could the identity of a divine general be mistaken?"
"My God, I know who he is now, he is General Jiang!"
The VIP section erupted in a flurry of discussion. Such a young and powerful general could only be Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen ignored the surrounding noise and focused his gaze on one person.
Lin Cai'er stood there, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation as she gazed at Jiang Chen. A mischievous smile graced her face, as if she had been waiting for this moment to arrive.
Jiang Chen strode over, his gaze never leaving Lin Cai'er. He completely ignored Old Master Lin beside Lin Cai'er.
Jiang Chen walked up to Lin Cai'er, who happily threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. Neither of them spoke, only their deep longing flowed silently between them.
Grandpa Lin stood by, glaring and bristling, but he said nothing, daring not to disturb this heartwarming scene. He had fought countless battles in his life, fearing neither heaven nor earth, but he was terrified of his precious granddaughter.
At that moment, a dazzling light appeared in the distant sky, streaking across the heavens like a shooting star, and then blooming into a beautiful firework in the air, adding a touch of romance to the moment.
Suddenly, a huge purple phoenix appeared in the sky. The phoenix was radiating a brilliant purple light, and its phantom soared into the sky, almost occupying the entire horizon.
A majestic and mysterious aura poured down from the sky, leaving everyone present in awe. "Wow, that's spectacular!"
"That is our Phoenix City's number one summoner, and one of the most outstanding summoners of the human race, Lord Yi Qianjue!"
"A level 98 summoner is simply a mythical existence!"
"I felt her power so strong it was suffocating me."
The young people were amazed, their eyes sparkling with longing and admiration, hoping that one day they could reach such heights.
Lin Zhenzi, however, said with a hint of disdain, "Yi Qianjue, still as fond of showing off as ever!"
A few seconds later, the phoenix's phantom gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of Yi Qianjue, the number one summoner of Phoenix City. Beside him was a young girl, her granddaughter Yi Ning, and her contracted divine beast, the Holy Spirit Unicorn.
Its feathers were as white as snow, and its eyes sparkled with intelligence, perfectly complementing Yi Ning's aloof and refined demeanor. "So beautiful!"
"Miss Yi Ning is truly the jewel of Phoenix City!"
"Whoever marries her will be incredibly lucky!"
"Forget about it. A beauty of this caliber is not someone an ordinary person can be worthy of."
Yi Ning followed Yi Qianjue as they landed in the guest area, drawing gasps of admiration from those around them.
Yi Qianjue walked up to Lin Zhenzi and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Lin, how have you been?"
Lin Zhenzi snorted, "You're not dead, so how could I be in trouble?"
Yi Qianjue laughed heartily, "We've been through life and death together, how could I bear to let you go first?"
The two are old friends, and their years of working side by side have forged a very deep bond between them.
Lin Cai'er walked over to Jiang Chen and greeted Yi Ning, "Hello, Sister Ning'er."
Yi Ning looked at Lin Cai'er, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly covered by a gentle smile. "Little Cai'er, you seem to be even more outstanding than before."
Lin Cai'er smiled a little shyly, "Grandpa has been forcing me to do special training, and I can hardly take it anymore."
As she spoke, she secretly glared at Lin Zhenzi. Lin Zhenzi pretended not to see it and continued chatting with Yi Qianjue.
Yi Ning said softly, "The special training is very effective. You should be almost level 50 by now, right?"
Lin Cai'er nodded, "It's almost there, but I'll try my best."
"You've already done a great job," Yi Ning said softly, offering encouragement.
The two had not seen each other for some time since they parted ways in their ancestral home, so they naturally had a lot to say when they met again.
Yi Ning pulled Lin Cai'er aside, and the two began to talk in hushed tones. Although Lin Cai'er glanced at Jiang Chen with some reluctance, she obediently followed.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted through the air, like a refreshing stream in the alien battlefield. This fragrance seemed to possess a spirit, lingering on the wind and gently entering everyone's nostrils.
Those who smell this fragrance immediately feel refreshed, their fatigue disappears, and they seem to be infused with new vitality.
"smell good!"
"What is this smell? After smelling it, I feel as if I am full of energy and high spirits."
"I know, this is the legendary Lingyun Fragrance, which can refresh the mind and is made by the God of Medicine."
"The God of Medicine has come too? That's a rare sight indeed!"
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, an elderly man dressed in a blue robe slowly appeared in their sight. He moved with composure, his expression serene, exuding an indescribable air of majesty and profundity.
As soon as the Medicine God arrived, he gathered with his old friends, including Lin Zhenzi, and exchanged pleasantries. Chu Yao then greeted Jiang Chen with a smile, "Junior Brother Jiang, it's been a long time."
Jiang Chen smiled and replied, "Hello, senior."
“Cai’er is here too, I’m going to chat with her. Jiang, please do as you please.” After saying that, Chu Yao cheerfully joined Yi Ning and Lin Cai’er’s conversation.
Just then, the world suddenly brightened, and the originally dark alien battlefield seemed to be illuminated by a beam of light.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous cyan longsword appeared in the air! The longsword exuded a sharp sword aura, as if it could cleave through the void.
"It's the Sword God, Lord Feng An!"
"The sword god's sword aura is truly terrifying. I only glanced at it, and I felt as if my soul was being torn apart."
"The Sword God's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, and his offensive power is unmatched even among gods."
"The Sword God is my role model. I must work hard to cultivate and strive to become as powerful as him one day!"
