The Luo Tian Dao Field's stronghold was also situated amidst the mountains.
Auspicious clouds coiled in the sky, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
The teleportation formations flickered with radiant light, and one after another, Divine Emperors emerged from them.
Some of these Divine Emperors were invited guests, while others had come on their own accord.
Naturally, invited guests received greater consideration.
"Esteemed seniors, please follow me." After accepting the invitation letters from the hands of Qin Han Chu and the other three, a disciple of the Luo Tian Dao Field respectfully said.
Led by this disciple, the four arrived at a divine mountain.
The divine mountain was dotted with numerous cave dwellings, specifically designated for guests to rest.
On the day of the grand Luo Tian gathering, a dedicated disciple would arrive to invite the honored guests to the venue.
"What are the rules for this year's grand gathering?" Hua Qiu Yu inquired of the Luo Tian Dao Field disciple.
"I am not entirely clear on that myself. The Ancestor will personally announce it on the day of the gathering."
The rules for the grand Luo Tian gathering often changed, so even Hua Qiu Yu, a Divine Emperor with a significant background, did not have precise information.
Since these disciples were unclear about the rules, there was no need to press further.
They would learn the rules and rewards on the day of the gathering, three days later.
As long as their strength was sufficient, they would not disgrace the Gu Dao Academy.
After the Luo Tian Dao Field disciple departed, Hua Qiu Yu turned to Qin Han Chu and said, "Senior Brother Bai Li, are you truly not considering joining our faction?"
"What benefits would joining your faction bring? Could it make me an Ancestor?"
Qin Han Chu lacked neither divine skills nor divine artifacts. He truly couldn't fathom any reason to seek out a power to join.
"The perilous domain of the Divine Emperor realm will open soon."
"This journey will be even more perilous."
"You previously obtained considerable amounts of desolate domain divine crystals, but this time, your luck might not be as good."
"I've heard that the desolate domain of the Divine Emperor realm possesses immense pressure, and your Five Elements Divine Banners might not be able to perform their teleportation function."
"Traveling with us would offer greater safety."
Everyone from the Gu Dao Academy believed that Qin Han Chu's ability to obtain so many desolate domain divine crystals was due to the advantage of the Five Elements Divine Banners' teleportation.
The desolate domain, depending on the duration of its initial exploration, varied in its level of danger.
The region of the Divine Emperor realm was an area recently explored by Ancestor-level powerhouses, hence its laws were extremely potent.
Qin Han Chu's teleportation channels might not be viable there.
In everyone's eyes, Qin Han Chu and A Xiang would lose their means of escape without the teleportation channels.
Little did they know, their true trump card was the Sky-Opening Divine Axe, and A Xiang also possessed the Seven Kill Prison Pagoda.
With these two supreme treasures, even a fiend god would not be able to gain an advantage.
If they were to accompany these people, how could Qin Han Chu and A Xiang secretly hoard desolate domain divine crystals?
"Thank you for the invitation, but my wife and I still prefer to be together alone." Qin Han Chu directly refused.
Hua Qiu Yu continued, "Please consider it again. This is a matter of life and death. We've all worked hard to reach the Divine Emperor realm; why put ourselves in a dangerous situation?"
Qin Han Chu smiled and said nothing further.
"I also think you should consider it," the Tian Mu Divine Emperor, who had been silent until now, also chimed in.
"We'll discuss it later. We need to rest." Qin Han Chu had nothing more to discuss with these two, so he and A Xiang returned to their rooms.
Seeing them leave, the Tian Mu Divine Emperor transmitted a message: "These two must have secrets they cannot reveal, otherwise, there's no need for them to be so reclusive."
Hua Qiu Yu nodded. "I feel the same way."
"I hope we encounter them in the desolate domain, so we can uncover their secrets," the Tian Mu Divine Emperor said solemnly.
Three days passed quickly, and it was already the day of the grand Luo Tian gathering.
Led by a disciple of the Luo Tian Dao Field, Qin Han Chu and the other three arrived at the VIP seating area of the venue.
Seated beside them were the Lei Ze Clan and Divine Emperors from the Lei Mie Divine Sect.
Qin Han Chu and the Lei Ze Clan were considered old rivals. When he first arrived in the Divine Realm, he had killed the guards of the Lei Ze Clan.
It was precisely to evade the pursuit of the Lei Shen Clan that Qin Han Chu went to the Gu Dao Academy.
The people of the Lei Ze Clan must have never imagined that the one with the Pangu physique was sitting right beside them.
"Look, four monks," A Xiang transmitted to Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu turned his head and saw four solemn men in kasayas walking over.
These four were the Divine Emperor-level powerhouses from the Mo Ling Temple.
In the Divine Realm, Buddhism was a very powerful lineage.
While other martial artists referred to themselves as Divine Emperors, the Buddhist lineage referred to themselves as Buddha Emperors!
Qin Han Chu glanced around and saw that at least over ten Ancestor-level forces had come to participate in the grand gathering.
This demonstrated the immense influence of the Luo Tian Ancestor.
It was rumored that the Luo Tian Ancestor possessed a primeval treasure, which placed his strength in the upper-middle tier among Ancestors.
The Ancestor of the Gu Dao Academy was somewhat weaker in comparison to the Luo Tian Ancestor.
"Ning Jin Buddha Emperor of Mo Ling Temple. It is rumored that his Great Luo Buddha Hand is an Ancestor-level divine skill," Hua Qiu Yu said, looking at the leader of the Mo Ling Temple.
Qin Han Chu looked at Hua Qiu Yu. "Are there any other powerful individuals?"
Hua Qiu Yu's gaze fell upon the people of the Lei Ze Clan. "The one with purple hair is named Lei Wan Jun. His Chaos Thunder Spear, like your Five Elements Divine Banners, also possesses an Ancestor-level divine skill."
"Senior Brother Bai Li is unaware that the Five Elements Divine Banners possess an Ancestor-level divine skill. I heard his Annihilation Divine Halberd also possesses an Ancestor-level divine skill!" the Tian Mu Divine Emperor said.
Hua Qiu Yu smiled and said, "I forgot. Senior Brother Bai Li's opportunities are truly enviable."
Qin Han Chu smiled and did not respond.
"Do you have information on other strong individuals?" A Xiang asked.
Hua Qiu Yu shook his head. "I only know some of the backgrounds of these two. The others are likely newly advanced Divine Emperors, with no available information."
The honored guests successively took their seats, followed by the Divine Emperors who had come voluntarily.
These individuals hoped to receive rewards from the Luo Tian Ancestor through this grand gathering.
For Divine Emperors, rewards from Ancestor-level powerhouses were precious opportunities for the Great Dao.
After an unknown period, the Dao Master of the Luo Tian Dao Field finally appeared.
This Dao Master was equivalent to the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Dao Field, responsible for handling the sect's affairs.
"Welcome everyone to the grand Luo Tian Dao Field gathering. Now, I invite our Luo Tian Dao Field's Ancestor to appear!"
Hearing this, everyone present stood up.
Ancestors were supreme beings, and Divine Emperors dared not show them disrespect.
As everyone rose, a burly middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the sky.
This man had his hands clasped behind his back. Although there were no fluctuations in his aura, everyone could feel a terrifying pressure.
This person was the Luo Tian Ancestor of the Luo Tian Dao Field.
Qin Han Chu knew that the Luo Tian Ancestor before him was certainly not his true form.
Merely a projection exuded such terrifying pressure upon everyone, indicating the horrifying power of an Ancestor-level expert.
"Greetings, Luo Tian Ancestor!" everyone present cupped their fists in salutation.
"You may be excused." The Luo Tian Ancestor's words were like a heavenly chant from the highest heavens, unconsciously influencing the emotions of everyone present.
