Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1429: Star Ancient God Religion

"The Ancient God Religion has already chosen a new Goddess of Ancient?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged guard’s words, Nangong Jade’s expression turned somber, a sudden feeling of inexplicable loss welling up within her heart.

As the third most important figure in the Ancient God Religion, a new Goddess of Ancient would typically only be chosen upon her predecessor’s demise.

Back then, she had led an army, tirelessly crossing realms to arrive at the Divine Land. Though she was defeated in battle, she hadn’t died.

Yet, the Ancient God Religion had already chosen a new Goddess of Ancient.

This left Nangong Jade feeling abandoned.

The sensation was like a thorn in her back, making her extremely uncomfortable.

The middle-aged guard, looking at the veiled woman in red before him, widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "Friend, your news is too outdated. How could you not know about such an important matter?"

"I’ve been in seclusion, diligently cultivating, so I was unaware of such a significant event."

Nangong Jade said with a bitter smile.

Ye Yun noticed something amiss, gently patted Nangong Jade on the shoulder, and comfortingly smiled, "Nangong, you don’t need to take it to heart. I’ve got everything covered..."

Nangong Jade nodded silently.

"Heh, I see the three of you have a decent cultivation base, indicating diligence in your daily efforts. But now that this wedding of the Star Ancient God Religion is an event known throughout the world, why not join the excitement, forge some ties with the Star Ancient God Religion, and in the future, if trouble arises, maybe they’ll lend a hand..."

The middle-aged guard looked at the three of them, speaking enthusiastically.

All three had high cultivation levels.

One was at the God King Realm First Layer, while the other two had reached the God King Realm Layer Ten.

With such cultivation, they were naturally qualified to visit the Star Ancient God Religion to offer congratulations.

Ye Yun nodded with a smile, "Friend, you speak wisely. We shall change our plans and join in the festivities at the Star Ancient God Religion..."

"Indeed..."

Seeing the three so receptive to advice, the middle-aged guard grinned.

At that moment, Nangong Jade lifted her head, looking at the middle-aged guard, and softly asked, "Friend, I’ve heard that the previous Goddess of Ancient of the Ancient God Religion once led an army to battle in the Divine Land. Despite no achievements, she at least endured labor. Why was she married off by the sect hierarch upon her return?"

"A defeated general has no prestige..."

The middle-aged guard sighed.

"Indeed, the previous Goddess of Ancient failed in battle!"

Nangong Jade’s expression turned somber again.

"It’s said that the new Goddess of Ancient far surpasses the previous one in both beauty and talent, so the sect hierarch’s choice is understandable..."

The middle-aged guard pondered aloud.

His words were unintentional, yet they struck Nangong Jade like a thunderclap.

Her delicate frame swayed, her face turning pale. Luckily, she wore a red veil, hiding her distress from others.

"Alas..."

Ye Yun sighed.

He understood Nangong Jade’s state of mind very well. As the former Goddess of Ancient, this girl held great pride in her heart.

He hadn’t expected that the new Goddess of Ancient would deal her such a heavy blow.

"Let’s go..."

Without further ado, Ye Yun took hold of Nangong Jade and stepped into the teleportation array.

Dragon Tree followed behind.

A light of teleportation rose, and the three of them disappeared.

"Truly strange..."

Watching the spot where the three had vanished, the middle-aged guard shook his head, a trace of doubt flickering in his eyes.

He probably hadn’t expected that the woman in red before him was the former Goddess of Ancient.

A figure of world-renowned stature.

...

After several teleportations, the three arrived at Star City.

Star City was the largest city under the jurisdiction of the Star Ancient God Religion.

The headquarters of the Star Ancient God Religion was located in the Star Mountains, a hundred thousand miles outside of Star City.

The area is called the Star Mountains because the mountain ranges are not continuous but rather dotted across the land like stars.

Each mountain would emit starlight at night, and when viewed from above, the twinkling stars create the impression of a beautiful, dreamy galaxy.

As Ye Yun approached the Star Mountains, he discovered that each mountain range was extraordinarily vast and extended for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Over ten thousand mountain ranges occupied several million in area.

"Ingenious craftsmanship..."

Ye Yun felt refreshed, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.

At this moment, Nangong Jade had regained her composure.

"Brother Yun, the Star Ancient God Religion is primarily composed of the Xinggu Clan. The beings of this race are extraordinarily large, comparable to sky-piercing giants..."

Nangong Jade explained with a smile.

"Hmm, with such height, their build doesn’t match, eh?"

Ye Yun joked.

Nangong Jade blushed, seemingly reminded of something.

"Brother Yun, the Xinggu Clan is naturally skilled in transformation techniques and can shrink their bodies to resemble the Human Race. Among the Xinggu people, star points are located in the center of their brows. They are divided into silver and gold, with gold being more esteemed. The more star points, the stronger the power..."

Nangong Jade softly spoke, gazing at the distant, grand Star Mountains.

Ye Yun asked with a smile, "How many stars does the strongest possess?"

Nangong Jade: "The highest in gold is the Nine-star Ancient God."

Ye Yun nodded silently.

The three continued flying forward, and before long, they saw a massive mountain gate standing between two mountains.

The enormous gate was about ten thousand miles high, stretching tens of thousands of miles, spanning between the mountains.

The gate was a deep blue, emitting a gentle glow.

Underneath the gate.

Stood two giants of the half-step God King Realm, each standing at ten thousand feet tall, with burly frames clad in armor, resembling giant spirit gods.

"Wow, truly impressive..."

Seeing the gate-guarding disciples, Ye Yun couldn’t help but marvel.

"Indeed, very intimidating."

Nangong Jade laughed.

She had long grown accustomed to it and was unimpressed.

While the Xinggu Clan was powerful, compared to their Ancient Clan, their strengths were evenly matched, neither superior nor inferior.

Ye Yun’s eyes gleamed as he muttered to himself, "If I captured a couple to guard the Dragon God Sect’s gate, it wouldn’t be a bad idea..."

"Haha, Brother Yun, you have quite the imagination."

Nangong Jade giggled at Ye Yun’s joke.

And so, joking amongst themselves.

The three approached the mountain gate, where one of the giants waved a massive hand to block their path.

"Who are you?"

The giant called out.

As he spoke, Ye Yun noticed the silver star point on his forehead glistening with silver light.

Ye Yun clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Upon hearing that the son of Vice Sect Hierarch Zhou is marrying the Goddess of Ancient, we’ve naturally come to present gifts and offer congratulations..."

"You’re a bit late; the wedding has already started!"

The giant frowned.

"Better late than perfect timing; isn’t it just right?"

Ye Yun chuckled.

Nangong Jade, observing the situation, quickly took out a storage ring and handed it to the disciple with a smile, saying, "This is a small token of our appreciation."

The disciple glanced at the ring, seemingly pleased, and with a wave of his hand, allowed the three to enter.

Once past the gate.

Nangong Jade seemed to sense something, her breath slightly quickening, and her face flushed faintly.

"Did you feel the clone?"

Ye Yun asked.

Nangong Jade took a deep breath, calming herself, and replied, "Yes, I’m close enough to the clone to sense it slightly..."

"Let’s go crash the wedding!"

Ye Yun chuckled mischievously, pulling Nangong Jade as he suddenly accelerated.

Dragon Tree closely followed suit.
