Everything was dark around Long Chen as he traveled through a dark tunnel. He couldn’t move his body at all as a strong suction force pulled him forward. In front of him was the glimmer of faint starlight.


    Long Chen felt like he was being devoured by a beast.


    The first time he experienced this was when he used the Universal Teleporter to reach the Divine Martial Empire from the Cangyang Kingdom, but now the Ancient Token was using a much more intricate teleporter to send him to a mysterious location.


    <em>Is it bringing me to the Ancient Graveyard?</em>


    Some timeter, he saw the light in front of him grow bigger. He finally reached the end of the tunnel.


    The ray of light sucked Long Chen into it!


    He disappeared in the light, soon finding that he could control his body again.


    He stepped on something hard and was shocked by it. He hadn''t even opened his eyes yet, but he felt like the thing beneath his feet was spinning rapidly. Long Chen quickly used his essence to attach himself to the ground to prevent himself from being thrown out.


    “Where is this?” Long Chen opened his eyes and was shocked by what he saw.Above him was the starry sky, but it was different from the one in the Divine Martial Empire. The stars were so close that he felt he could catch them with his hands. He was certain that he was very high up in the sky right now.


    The Ancient Token has transported him into the skies!


    Long Chen looked down and saw stars too! The constetions rotated at a fixed pace, and he was transfixed by the beauty of it.


    But the stars were only a part of the surprise. Long Chen started inspecting what he was standing on and realized it was arge, metal te. It was rotating at high speeds as it transported him to a faraway ce. The te was massive and stretched to the horizons. Long Chen thought he was on a ttened star as the te emanated a blue glow. There were also golden runes on the te that formed circles on the te. The strange rotating force came from those runes.


    It was a massive starte flying in the endless skies.


    The other thing that shocked Long Chen was the people. He opened his eyes and saw that there were a lot of other people on the te. More and more bright lights shed, and another cultivator appeared with each one.


    “So the people who obtained the Ancient Tokens will appear on the same te to travel to the Ancient Graveyard together … So that means we haven’t reached the Ancient Graveyard yet.”


    Long Chen rxed a little before he withdrew his aura. He observed the neers and counted their numbers. He heard that more than ten thousand people would be transported every time the Ancient Graveyard opened, but the te was sorge that even ten thousand people wouldn''t fill it up.


    Long Chen took a deep breath.


    The people around him were exactly as he had imagined. All of them were as strong or stronger than Zhao Wuji. Some of them were so strong that Long Chen couldn’t determine their strength. Almost half a dayter, he never saw someone at his level. There wasn’t anyone at the Third Earthly Martial Stage here!


    More importantly, those who dared to journey to the Ancient Graveyard were all viinous people that had taken numerous lives before. All of them had cold gazes and their bloodlust filled the air.


    No one dared to move much under the tense atmosphere.


    Based on the size of the runes, Long Chen determined that he was in the center of the starte. If he had appeared on the edges, he might’ve been thrown off as soon as he arrived.


    He shuddered at the thought of being thrown off the te.


    The te was rotating at high speeds as it traveled in an unknown direction. Long Chen held onto the surface tightly. Even though he wasn’t afraid of the people, he was still wary of showing off too much. He didn’t want unnecessary trouble.


    He needed to go to the Three Emperor Territory through the Ancient Graveyard, but the biggest condition before being able to do so was to increase his strength.


    Another half a day passed, and almost everyone was present by then. There were at least ten thousand people on the te. Every single one of them was exceedingly strong and had their ownprehension of martial arts. Long Chen was dismayed because any one of them could’ve been the Martial Overlord in the Divine Martial Empire even though they were so young, but there were ten thousand of them here on the te!


    He also saw many people younger than him.


    This was a ce where all of the youths with insane talent were gathered.


    The Ancient Graveyard was a ce where everyone killed each other for treasures. Even though it was dangerous, many people still risked their life to go there.


    Almost no one recognized anyone, so they dared not approach anyone. Instead, they looked around as if everyone was their enemy. But there were some people who formed little groups.


    Just then, several white lights shed near Long Chen, bringing in numerous tall cultivators. Long Chen was wary of them because they had appeared so close to him. They were also temporarily surprised when they appeared. One of the plump cultivators fell down and rolled towards Long Chen.


    It was normal for someone to act like that since the te was spinning rapidly. Long Chen caught the man with his arm.


    After some time of getting used to the rotation, the man finally regained control over his body. Long Chen released him, and the man turned to thank him.


    “Thank you!” The man was plump with thick eyebrows, but his eyes were small. His voice was loud, but the most distinguishing feature of the man was the massive ax behind his back. The ax was at least two meters long and the stench of blood came from its cold edges.


    Long Chen knew that the man was very strong even though he looked plump. Rather than being soft, the man’s body was hard. <em>He must’ve learned a technique that hardens his body.</em>


    Long Chen smiled and nodded after sensing no hostile intentions from the man.


    It was just a temporary meeting, and the man didn’t waste any energy trying to befriend Long Chen. Rather, the man just returned to his group. His group wasposed of muscr cultivators that were tall and scary-looking. Bloodlust was also dripping out of their bodies. They appeared to be used to killing.


    The only friendly-looking one was the plump man.


    Long Chen then ignored them and looked at other new arrivals. A lot of them appeared beside Long Chen, but none of them talked to him much.


    Just then, a lot of white light appeared near the center of the starte.


    “The people from the Nine Great ns are here.” When someone muttered that, Long Chen looked towards the middle.


    There were roughly a thousand people in the middle of the starte, and none of them belonged to the Nine Great ns. Just because the Nine Great ns were the ones ruling over the other divine empires, it didn’t mean that there were no other strong cultivators.


    Even though the Nine Great ns were much stronger than the Martial Alliance, they could only amodate so many people. They couldn’t absorb anyone they wanted like the Martial Alliance.


    There were also various smaller kingdoms whose citizens reached the same cultivation level as the people from the Nine Great ns.


    The Divine Wind faction and the Thunder Demon faction had almost a thousand cultivatorsbined. The people near the center of the te retreated as they looked at the thousands of lights with awe and fear.
