# Chapter 1680: The Ancient Saint Clan Appears

"After more than a thousand years, I wonder if there are still any treasures left in the Heavenly Derivation Saint Palace," Lin Feng thought to himself. Then, in the distance, an extremely powerful aura surged forward like rolling thunder. The crowd raised their heads and looked into the distance, where a middle-aged figure draped in a white robe was striding forward, covering a thousand miles in a single step as he descended directly above the void. His demeanor exuded a sense of dominance over the heavens, as if he were the supreme ruler of this world.

"An elder of the Cang Clan has arrived," the crowd's hearts trembled slightly.

"This man is an elder of Cang Ling, a great power of the Cang Clan, with unfathomable strength," Langxie said to Lin Feng, causing Lin Feng's heart to shudder. The attraction of the Heavenly Derivation Saint Palace was indeed formidable. Cang Ling was the current head of the Cang Clan, and his elder was undoubtedly an old monster of the Cang Clan, terrifyingly powerful.

"Boom!" At that moment, the void trembled. In the distant sky, a majestic figure strode forward, trampling heaven and earth, radiating supreme might.

"A great power of the Chu Family has arrived," Langxie said, glancing at that person. Lin Feng looked at him; his aura was rather restrained, somewhat similar to Chu Chunqiu's temperament, but far more powerful. Even standing still, he exuded a heavenly might. These great powers were likely terrifying existences at the Heavenly Emperor level.

In the surrounding void, one great power after another strode forward, each radiating supreme might and overwhelming strength. Lin Feng saw one person surrounded by millions of divine seal shadows, as if wrapping heaven and earth within them. His heart trembled slightly. This person should be a great power of the Dugu Family. Dugu Bubai's three hundred and sixty divine seal halos already contained such terrifying attacks; if this person's halos were to light up, they would probably be brighter than the sun.

"It seems the others have no chance at all," Lin Feng thought to himself. With these terrifying great powers descending, those at the Venerable Martial Realm like them could only watch from afar. Perhaps they could enter the surrounding smaller palaces to try their luck, but as for the central main hall, it was beyond their reach.

As expected, those figures directly stepped into the central main hall. Immediately, the crowd felt a terrifying divine sense sweep across heaven and earth, as if trying to envelop everyone. It seemed that no matter where a heavy treasure appeared, it would not escape their eyes.

"In this Saint Palace from over a thousand years ago, I wonder if there are any treasures," someone murmured. Of course, most people valued the Heavenly Derivation Scripture the most. This ancient scripture was too terrifying; it could directly transform a person, allowing even an ordinary person to use its heaven-defying deduction ability to become a peerless genius. It was foreseeable that whoever obtained it would rise on the continent and become a powerful figure in the future.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, since this is an ancient Saint Palace, there will naturally be heavy treasures. However, this Heavenly Derivation Saint Clan has not been discovered for over a thousand years. Obtaining the treasures will probably not be easy," a Daoist priest said at this moment, holding a horsetail whisk. He wore a Tai Chi long robe, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Uh..." Lin Feng looked in that direction, his eyes flickering as he saw the Boundless Heavenly Venerable Daoist. This old undying bastard Daoist had appeared again. Why did he always see this guy whenever he encountered a treasure site?

"Old Daoist, why aren't you dead yet?" Lin Feng cursed at the Daoist.

Yan Di turned his head, squinting as he smiled at Lin Feng, and said, "Since you're still alive, how could this old Daoist die?"

"You managed to come out alive from a death ground; your life is quite tough," Lin Feng cursed under his breath. This guy had actually chased after Wuji Heavenly Emperor and the Green Robe Great Emperor when they entered the Four Symbols Death Ground, missing the giant elephant that sent them away. That was truly ruthless. He didn't know how he had escaped.

"If there are people going there, it's not called a death ground," Yan Di said casually, still gazing at the central main hall. At that moment, a terrifying aura of annihilation spread out, as if heavenly might had descended. In an instant, within a radius of thousands of miles, everyone felt a dreadful destructive force enveloping them, causing their bodies to stiffen in place, not daring to move.

"What kind of pressure is this? Like heavenly might, truly capable of destroying everything," Lin Feng's mind trembled violently, his face slightly pale. He looked toward the central main hall; this terrifying heavenly might was coming from there.

"It seems the old Daoist's words were unluckily correct. The treasures are indeed not easy to obtain," Yan Di said, waving his horsetail whisk, his expression unchanged, causing the surrounding crowd to roll their eyes. Under this terrifying pressure, this stinky Daoist still had the mood to joke.

The heavenly might gradually dissipated. The crowd saw the great powers who had entered the central main hall appear again, their bodies slowly rising into the air. Their movements were very slow, as if afraid of triggering that terrifying heavenly might.

Finally, when they ascended to several dozen miles in the sky, the heavenly might gradually disappeared. However, those great powers in the void did not dare to step down again. Instead, they stood in the void, pondering. After a moment, they dispersed in all directions, as if they had never appeared, leaving not a single word behind.

The powerful figures in the void stood on all sides, but none dared to act rashly, staring at the ancient Saint Palace below.

"Everyone, this is a good opportunity to seek treasures. Why isn't anyone making a move?" Yan Di said to the surrounding crowd, earning cold glares. They cursed this stinky Daoist under their breath. Just now, those great powers had been driven away by the heavenly might. If they encountered this terrifying heavenly might, they would surely die without a doubt.

"This Daoist won't take the treasures; I'll just go in for a look," Yan Di said with a smile. Then, the crowd saw him step forward, actually heading toward the central main hall. Many people's pupils contracted sharply. Was this bastard seeking death? Even the great powers of various major forces dared not enter, yet he dared to run in.

"This old undying one!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted. This guy had actually run in. But thinking about how this old fellow never suffered losses or fell for tricks, he felt relieved. Nothing should happen. Indeed, after some time, there was no movement inside. The crowd's divine sense swept through and found the Daoist very leisurely searching for treasures. This made many people's hearts stir again.

"Hmph," a Martial Emperor snorted coldly, then stepped forward and also entered the palace. If this Daoist could enter, why couldn't he?

As that person entered the central main hall without encountering anything, many people began to step inside.

"Let's go in and take a look," Lin Feng said to Langxie. Then, both of them stepped toward the vast ancient palace. The ancient palace was still smooth inside, and the vast hall actually contained an ancient chessboard arranged in the pattern of the Seven Stars.

"This chessboard is an ancient formation. It cannot be triggered," Lin Feng murmured. There were many chess pieces on the board, likely not to be moved easily, or else they might trigger that terrifying heavenly might from earlier.

However, most people's eyes were focused ahead. At the front of the hall, there was a illusory light curtain, constructed from only seven chess pieces, incredibly simple. The seven chess pieces formed an illusory light formation. Perhaps the great powers had tried to touch these seven chess pieces earlier, causing the heavenly might to spread.

At the end of this light curtain, there was a real chessboard, radiating precious light, appearing ink-black, as if the chess pieces on it could flow.

"What kind of treasure is this?" The crowd's pupils contracted.

"This is the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard of the Heavenly Derivation Saint Clan, a supreme treasure of the clan," Yan Di said calmly, his eyes sharp, causing the crowd's hearts to tremble violently. That was the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard?

"It does look somewhat like the legendary Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, but I've never seen it before, so I don't know if it's real or fake," Langxie said softly. Lin Feng, however, wondered how that bastard Yan Di knew about the treasures of the Heavenly Derivation Saint Clan. Where had this guy been a Great Emperor before?

"How do you know this is the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard? How do you know it's not just similar?" a powerful figure asked, looking at Yan Di.

"This Daoist is just expressing my own thoughts. As for whether it's really the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, who can know? Perhaps the Heavenly Derivation Scripture is inside this chessboard," Yan Di said coldly, causing that person's pupils to contract. Many people's hearts stirred. Could the Heavenly Derivation Scripture really be left in this ancient Saint Palace?

"If you think there's a Heavenly Derivation Scripture inside, why don't you go get it?" a young man stepped forward and said coldly. This person was Chu Chunqiu. Even the great power of his Chu Family had come and gone without success. If there really was a Heavenly Derivation Scripture, it probably wouldn't be their turn.

"If there really is a Heavenly Derivation Scripture inside, would you dare to go get it?" Yan Di looked at Chu Chunqiu and said lightly.

"Since I don't dare, I'll leave," Chu Chunqiu said lightly. As his words fell, he actually turned and left, quite gracefully.

"This Daoist's strength is too weak. There's probably no hope of obtaining treasures. I'll go look around elsewhere," Yan Di said, also turning to leave, causing people to curse inwardly. This Daoist was the first to enter, and now he was leaving quite readily.

"Let's go too," Lin Feng said to Langxie. Following that bastard Yan Di was never wrong; this was definitely experience speaking.

However, as soon as they left the central main hall, an even more terrifying supreme aura descended. In the void, powerful figures from various forces arrived above the ancient Saint Clan. That terrifying aura swept across heaven and earth, causing countless people to retreat. Many great powers had appeared, likely all terrifying existences at the Heavenly Emperor level.

"They've called for reinforcements," Lin Feng thought, looking at the terrifying lineup in the void, his heart trembling. It seemed these people were determined to break into the hall and obtain the Heavenly Derivation Scripture.

"Roar..." At that moment, a earth-shaking roar surged forward. In the distance, the sky was blotted out, demonic might overwhelming, demonic energy sweeping across heaven and earth, rolling in.

"Great powers of the Demon Clan have also arrived," the crowd's pupils contracted. They hadn't expected Demon Emperor-level experts from the Demon Clan to descend upon the ancient Saint Clan as well.

"Could it be that these Demon Clan also want to obtain the Heavenly Derivation Scripture?" At this moment, beside Lin Feng and Langxie, three hundred and sixty divine seal halos flickered. It was none other than the Divine Seal King Body, Dugu Bubai, standing there.
