“Zhou Yun, I originally planned to help you find Qiao’er, and then make you my direct disciple.”

Since they had guessed Qiao’er’s true location, City Lord Gu did not plan to hide her intentions anymore.

“You must know that in this city of immortal cultivators with hundreds of millions of people, only three in the entire Zenith City can become my direct disciples.”

City Lord Gu did not mention the ordinary inner sect disciples in the city who could only enter the inner sect after going through countless outer sect sections.

“If you are willing to become my direct disciple, I promise you that I will apply for permission to enter the territory of the five guardian sacred beasts.” As City Lord Gu spoke, she looked at Zhou Yun and waited for his reply.

Zhou Yun was stunned. He originally thought that he would only be accepted as an inner sect disciple by City Lord Gu and become an ordinary person among the hundreds of millions of immortal cultivators in Zenith City. He did not expect that the other party wanted to take him in as a direct disciple.

He couldn’t understand why City Lord Gu would value him so much when his heaven-defying points hadn’t been exposed yet and he was just an ordinary disciple.

To think she even allowed him to come to this floating fortress that only six people had been to before.

In the end, Zhou Yun could only attribute this to City Lord Gu’s intuition.

“As long as you agree to be my direct disciple, I’ll even bring you to the territory of the five guardians. How about it? There aren’t many powerful teachers like this, right?” City Lord Gu boasted. Then, she looked at Zhou Yun, waiting for his reply.

Zhou Yun thought about it. He did not think City Lord Gu was unworthy of being his master. Rather, it was better to say that with a powerful cultivator like City Lord Gu as his master, his growth would be explosive under the circumstances of sufficient resources. How could he refuse?

However, for some reason, ever since he came out of the furnace, he felt that something was wrong. Now that he was about to agree to be City Lord Gu’s disciple, the feeling was even more intense!

Just as City Lord Gu was waiting for Zhou Yun’s reply and the latter was struggling in his heart, the two, the indestructible floating castle that had been in operation for hundreds of thousands of years, and the hundreds of millions of cultivators from Zenith City seemed to have been crushed by an unparalleled force. They could not move, and their bodies froze on the spot. The soft water droplets in the air were like the hardest metal, frozen in the air.

At this moment, even their souls were imprisoned by this power!

All of a sudden, the golden light protecting the city, which had been maintained for hundreds of millions of years and had not extinguished even when the three Holy Lands had fought to the point their divine weapons shattered, extinguished.

To put it more precisely, the golden light had been peeled off!

Five huge shadows enveloped Zenith City!

Each shadow was three times bigger than the city!

These shadows emitted a terrifying aura, and it was the power transformed from this aura that made all the people in Zenith City unable to move!

“Impossible! Just the aura alone is enough to make me unable to move! Back then, when I attacked the base camp of the fake Holy Land, even the 36 fake Saints and 12 incarnation stage experts could not make me lower my head. Now, this aura actually made me unable to move?” City Lord Gu thought in disbelief. She did not understand what kind of existence could have such an aura!

Suddenly, City Lord Gu thought of something. There was only one possible existence that could have such an imposing manner in the territory of the Divine Gate.

The five guardian sacred beasts!

“Roar!”

A melodious beast roar that seemed to have come from ancient times resounded throughout Zenith City. All the cultivators seemed to have been freed from the shackles of power and they immediately knelt on the ground to catch their breath.

At this moment, Zhou Yun and City Lord Gu had also regained their freedom. They raised their heads and immediately saw the huge beasts that covered the sky!

“The Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Xuanwu, and Qilin… After that person left, the five sacred beasts never appeared again. Why are they gathered here today?” City Lord Gu was so surprised that her voice was distorted! She couldn’t understand. Could it be that her brags just now had been overheard? It can’t be! Was she that great?

In contrast to City Lord Gu’s shock and wild imagination, Zhou Yun calmed down. It was more accurate to say that he had never been so calm before!

Looking at the five massive creatures in front of him, he actually felt a sense of familiarity as if this scene had happened somewhere before.

Suddenly, a person popped her head out of the countless white hairs on the White Tiger’s head and stared at Zhou Yun.

‘…Qiao’er?” Zhou Yun’s eyes widened when he saw the figure. He asked with uncertainty.

When Qiao’er saw Zhou Yun, she subconsciously wanted to rush forward and be pampered. However, she still steadied herself and stood on top of the White Tiger’s head while trying her best to put on a serious expression.

“Hmph!” Qiao’er originally wanted to say something, but she suddenly noticed that Zhou Yun was looking at her with a loving gaze. Her face couldn’t help but turn red, and with a snort, she hid behind a strand of the White Tiger’s fur.

“The 1,000 reincarnations have ended. Each reincarnation lasts for 10,000 years, which totals up to 10 million years. In the reincarnations, all the top disciples in the 108 cities and the master’s two disciples make up a total of 108 million people,” The White Tiger’s voice was long and unending. It slowly

resounded throughout Zenith City and Divine Gate Holy Land.

“Among them, each has won and lost. In particular, Zhou Yun won 713 times,

Qiao’er won 236 times, Ling Qingyun won 29 times, and Xin Yu won 22 times. After the ancient leader, a new leader of the Divine Gate Holy Land has appeared.”

“Today, we, the five sacred beasts, have come together to witness and acknowledge that the disciple of the leader, Zhou Yun, has emerged victorious after a thousand reincarnations and has become the new leader of the Divine Gate Holy Land,” At this point, the White Tiger’s voice became even more impassioned. This time, apart from the Divine Gate, everything in the world could hear its voice!

Zhou Yun looked at Qiao’er. After hearing the White Tiger Sacred beast’s voice, the gaze he looked at Qiao’er contained both love and a hint of mischief.

After the White Tiger finished speaking, his memories returned.

A long time ago, Zhou Yun became the disciple of a peerless expert. He was the big senior brother, and Qiao’er was his junior sister.

One day, to break through the restrictions of this realm and ascend to the Immortal World, his master went to a secret realm that no one knew about except Zhou Yun and Qiao’er.

However, his master had never returned since then.

To ensure the Divine Gate Holy Land’s continuous operation, the five sacred beasts proposed a plan of a thousand reincarnations. As long as one became the strongest person in the reincarnations, which each lasted ten thousand years, one would be considered the victor.

The situations of each reincarnation were ever-changing. Sometimes, he would be reincarnated as a mortal while the others were already nascent soul cultivators. In such a situation, even with the Enlightenment System, Zhou Yun could only admit defeat. After all, the upper limit of each reincarnation was the nascent soul realm.

Zhou Yun couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of this. He didn’t expect that in these thousands of reincarnations, the result would always be him and Qiao’er getting married. No wonder that girl was shy just now.

“However, now I’m even more certain that Master really went to the Immortal World.”

Zhou Yun looked at the sky. The aura on his body slowly rose. Qi cultivation, foundation establishment, golden core, nascent soul… His realm soared straight to the terrifying cultivation realm of the tribulation transcendence stage, scaring the arrogant City Lord Gu so much that she kept quiet.

“Brother Zhou Yun.” In the end, Qiao’er still couldn’t help but come to Zhou Yun’s side. She slowly stretched out her hand and hugged him tightly.

After a thousand reincarnations, such actions had been deeply imprinted in Qiao’er’s soul. She did not want to let go of Zhou Yun again.

“Qiao’er, how about we go find Master together?” Zhou Yun asked in a low voice. In fact, he had awakened the Enlightenment System a long time ago. However, to accompany the five sacred beasts and to prevent the Holy Land left behind by his master from being destroyed so quickly, he joined in on the reincarnation assessment.

Now, Zhou Yun had made up his mind. He wanted to become an immortal and ascend to the Immortal World with Qiao’er.

As for the Holy Gate Divine Gate, he would leave it to Ling Qingyun and Xin Yu, the two quarrelsome friends in the reincarnations.

“I’ll listen to senior brother.” Qiao’er hugged Zhou Yun and refused to let go.

“You’ll listen to me on everything?” Zhou Yun confirmed again and could not help but smile devilishly.

“Yes,” Qiao’er replied.

“Then let’s get married, ” Zhou Yun pulled her into his embrace.

“Alright,” Qiao’er happily replied. She was so shy that her ears turned red..
