Chapter 599 The Ancient Daoist Lake, the Sky-Prides' Preparation, and the Primeval Daoist Gem

The Ancient Daoist Lake was one of the places with great Opportunities of Fortune inside the Forbidden Barren Wasteland.

It was one of these days that the Ancient Daoist Lake was going to appear.

Normally, the Ancient Daoist Lake would be lively and surrounded by countless sky-prides during this time.

However, there was no sign of sky-prides at the Ancient Daoist Lake at the moment.

Atop of a mountain nearby the Ancient Daoist Lake, a large gathering of sky-prides had taken place, and all of them were looking towards the Daoist Lake.

Every one of them was a sky-pride.

Among them, there were also quite some outlawed sky-prides who had seemingly gathered there to discuss something.

If a Vision Recording Rock had captured this scene, it would undoubtedly cause a great stir when people learned of it.

The outlawed sky-prides were proud and c.o.c.ky people who were always used as a comparison. Hence, they would always fight whenever they saw each other to prove who was stronger.

Other than a few of them who were good friends, why would they get together and discuss something in such a peaceful manner?

Humans aside, there were also members of the wild beast tribes among that gathering.

It was an unimaginable sight.

Yet, that scene was truly happening before everyone's eyes.

The one who indirectly made this possible was none other than Chu Kuangren!

He was just so intimidating that he gave the outlawed sky-prides no choice but to band together to defeat him.

When facing a common enemy, even rivaling forces who used to be at each other's throats would set aside their differences and work together.

"Say, do you really think he'll come?"

Jiu Yan of the Nine-Headed Snakelet Tribe asked.

"He will," w.a.n.g Quan replied with a serious look in his eyes.

"Are you sure?"

Jiu Yan snorted and said, "We've caused such a great commotion with this gathering. There's no way Chu Kuangren won't notice this. Do you seriously think he'll appear when every sky-pride in the Forbidden Barren Wasteland has gathered to kill him?"

"He will come!"

w.a.n.g Quan repeated his answer. "First and foremost, he is a sky-pride himself, an unprecedented peerless and remarkable sky-pride. His pride will not allow him to back down even against something like this. That's why he'll surely appear!"

w.a.n.g Quan was not the only one who thought so too. Albeit silent, Bai Hongyu, Zi Wuji, and the other outlawed sky-prides had the same thoughts.

As the saying went, the person who knew you best was your enemy.

It was true.

w.a.n.g Quan and the others may have suffered defeats every time they fought Chu Kuangren, but they could sense how prideful and arrogant he was.

It was the kind of pride that deemed everything in the world as nothing.

"In Chu Kuangren's eyes, we're just a group of defeated sky-prides. What threat could a gathering of defeated opponents pose to him? Do you think he'll give up the Opportunities of Fortune before him just because of us?" w.a.n.g Quan sneered. He understood Chu Kuangren's behavior by now.

At that, the expression of every sky-pride who had fought Chu Kuangren before turned grim. Even so, none of them reb.u.t.ted w.a.n.g Quan's statement.

It was because they were indeed Chu Kuangren's defeated opponents.

"Hmph, this att.i.tude of his will certainly lead to his downfall this time!" At that moment, a young man in Yin Yang Daoist robes uttered coldly. He was the outlawed sky-pride of the Divine Yin Yang Sect, Yun Luozi.

"That's right. We've set up several killing formations near the Ancient Daoist Lake as well. Even if Chu Kuangren has multiple heads and limbs, his strong combat strength will not save him from dying!" Another outlawed sky-pride said.

That person was wearing a long white robe while holding a formation compa.s.s in his palm.

He was the Thousand Formation Sect's Daoist.

The Thousand Formation Sect specialized in deploying formations and fighting many with few, strong with weak. According to rumors, if the Formation Daoist had enough time to set up his formation techniques, he could even kill a Sovereign!

Although that rumor might be false, the fact that rumors like this about him existed spoke lengths as to how powerful the Formation Daoist was.

"By the way, my clan brother will be coming as well."

A young man said.

Although he was not an outlawed sky-pride but a mere top-notched sky-pride of the Qin clan, his words made everyone's eyes light up with hope.

"Will that person come too?"

"Among all the sky-prides, I reckon he is the only one capable of fighting Chu Kuangren. If he comes, we'll have a greater chance to defeat Chu Kuangren."

Even the outlawed sky-prides became solemn at the mention of the person's name.

That person was the most remarkable among the sky-prides in Emperor Road.

He was the outlawed sky-pride of the Qin clan, known as the reincarnation of a Great Emperor!

"Let's continue observing and keep watch on the time. The Ancient Daoist Lake's Opportunities of Fortune are going to appear soon. If Chu Kuangren wants to come, he should be making a move soon."

Everyone then looked towards the Ancient Daoist Lake.

Some eyes burned with desire, while some were hopeful…

"Rumor has it that the Primeval Daoist Gem from the Ancient Daoist Lake is one of the most top-tiered treasures in the world. Other than increasing one's cultivation level, it can allow one to enter a state of enlightenment very quickly, which is extremely rare."

"Not only that, but the Primeval Daoist Gem can also enhance one's physical strength to the point that they can fight an archaic wild beast on an equal level."

If it were in the past, the Primeval Daoist Gem would certainly be the focus of everyone's attention. However, as of now, this Daoist Gem has become a foil for something else.

The sky-prides were more interested in the great battle that was about to happen and the Peerless Prodigy, who was going to deal with every sky-pride on his own.

The Ancient Daoist Lake was situated on top of a hundred-kilometer-tall mountain.

The surface of the lake was as clear as a mirror, with lush greenery br.i.m.m.i.n.g with life on both sides.

The scenery there was akin to an Immortal realm on earth.

However, several ripples suddenly appeared on the Ancient Daoist Lake's surface. The ripples grew larger until they eventually turned into a raging wave that swept out in all directions.

At the center of the Ancient Daoist Lake, the waves surged as if something was about to emerge from the lake.

Within the depths of the lake, a white ball of light appeared, radiating brighter and brighter. Following a pillar of water that rose into the sky, that white bundle of light soon broke out on the surface of the lake.

That white bundle of light was only the size of a baby, but countless mysterious runes swirling within it as if reflecting the laws of the world.

Those were Daoist Patterns!

It was the pattern and mystery of the Dao itself, a conjuration that would only occur when Daoist Rhymes had a certain density.

On a mountain several kilometers away, many sky-prides had also witnessed the Primeval Daoist Gem's appearance on the Ancient Daoist Lake's surface.

Everyone fixed their eyes on that Daoist Gem with their breaths heavy. All of them had the urge to rush out and get it for themselves.

"So that's the Primeval Daoist Gem. Its energy waves are so dense that the Daoist Rhyme has become Daoist Patterns."

"It's wonderful! If I can get my hands on that Primeval Daoist Gem and fully refine it, my Dao will reach the perfected stage."

"That's right. Will Chu Kuangren even be a threat to me, then?"

Most of the sky-prides eyes were burning with desire. Even the outlawed sky-prides were a little interested in it. None of that had expected the Primeval Daoist Gem to be the first Opportunity of Fortune to appear as it was just too valuable.

"Everyone, calm down. Don't forget the reason we've gathered here." At this moment, w.a.n.g Quan snorted.

Everyone eventually calmed down upon hearing what he said.

They must not get hasty.

So what if they rushed towards and fought the others over it?

They were no match for Chu Kuangren anyway.

"He's here!"

At this time, Bai Hongyu's gaze narrowed.

Startled, everyone looked towards the mountain path leading up to the Ancient Daoist Lake.

Footsteps echoed through the mountain path as a figure slowly approached the Ancient Daoist Lake.

That person had a slender figure and was in a pure white robe. On his handsome and perfect face, there was a smile at the corners of his mouth, seemingly sneering at something or someone.

"As expected, he will never let go of the chance to obtain the Ancient Daoist Lake's Primeval Daoist Gem." w.a.n.g Quan took a deep breath and said.

In an instant, the attention of everyone on that mountain was drawn to that white-robed figure, and their gazes gradually became stern.

"Everyone, prepare yourselves for battle."
