Even the presence of an Ancient King Level existence might not necessarily intimidate the Wangxian Pavilion Saint Master.
Unless it’s someone extremely powerful like the Demon God King or Dragon King among the Ancient Kings.
"That elder just now, he wasn’t an Ancient King. He didn’t have the aura of anyone from the Ancient Clan."
The elder noticed the confusion on the face of the man in brocade and spoke, "If I’m not mistaken, he definitely is a strong figure from our Human Clan."
"But when did our Human Clan ever have such a terrifying figure..."
It wasn’t just him; including the man in brocade and others, everyone fell silent at the moment, deeply relieved that they hadn’t completely clashed with the other party just then.
Otherwise, today these people wouldn’t even be talking about leaving Gulan City, whether they could have walked out of the tavern from earlier, was still debatable.
An existence comparable to the Ancient King Level could suppress them with unbelievable ease, easier than crushing an ant.
"Daddy, where are we going now?"
Within Gulan City, Ji Divine King alongside Mo Wangchen and others also left the tavern.
"I heard discussions in the tavern just now that Gulan City, being under the protection of the Heavenly God Institute, doesn’t have too many from the Ancient Clan and is considered a fairly good nurturing ground for the Human Clan."
The Divine King spoke, having plans in mind, "I’m actually quite interested in visiting this Heavenly God Institute."
"The Heavenly God Institute..."
Mo Wangchen bitterly smiled internally, having gone through such a big round, it seemed he had come back here again, only now the era he was in was different.
The Heavenly God Institute wasn’t too far from Gulan City, but not exactly near either.
For ordinary cultivators who do not use the Teleportation Array, they would need to fly for three days, but since they were led by the Divine King, Mo Wangchen and others took only half a day to arrive in Heavenly God City.
This era’s Heavenly God City was extremely vast, surrounded by towering walls that reached into the clouds. The gates of the Divine City were wide open, with many cultivators coming and going every day, making it one of the busiest places for the Human Clan during this era.
"In these turbulent times, with the Ancient Clan dominating, it’s fortunate that our Human Clan still has a Heavenly God Institute. Otherwise, our Human Clan would indeed be completely suffocated by pressure."
"Indeed, the ten Sacred Lands and those powerful families mostly protect themselves, unlike the Heavenly God Institute that shelters the ancient cities for tens of thousands of miles around. The people from the Ancient Clan don’t dare to cause trouble here."
As they entered the city, Mo Wangchen and others heard many discussions.
"There’s news that the Heavenly God Institute has been suppressed by many Ancient Royal Families, though it’s uncertain how true that is."
"I heard that too. The Heavenly God Institute is the strongest faction of our Human Clan, having cultivated many talents over the years, a cradle for geniuses. However, the Ancient Royal Families felt threatened by this and had no choice but to suppress it."
"It’s said that the reason why the Ancient Clan is suppressing the Heavenly God Institute is because they also want to get involved. Many Ancient Royal Families want to send some masters into the institute to become honorary elders."
"That can’t be good," many people exclaimed in shock.
"In that case, won’t the Heavenly God Institute become a joint force between the Human Clan and the Ancient Clan? Given the current momentum of the Ancient Clan, it won’t be long before they completely dismantle the Heavenly God Institute from the inside, which will be a disaster for our Human Clan."
"The Ancient Clan is really going too far. Do they really want to completely suppress our Human Clan?" Many faces showed anger.
"I heard that today, many masters from the Ancient Clan have arrived at the Heavenly God Institute, including several Ancient Kings. It’s because of this situation, and I don’t know how the discussion is going now."
Some shook their heads and sighed. If the Heavenly God Institute compromised, after today, the Human Clan would no longer have any hope of raising their heads.
"Today, the gates of the Heavenly God Institute are wide open, and many powerful individuals from our Human Clan have also gone, fearing that the Heavenly God Institute won’t withstand the pressure from various Ancient Clans and went to support the scene."
"We should also go and see, though we can’t help much, having more people does serve some purpose, right?"
With such discussions, many people in the city hurried toward the same direction.
Among them were Mo Wangchen and others, with the Divine King being extremely low-profile, continuously concealing his cultivation.
Despite its size, they reached the Heavenly God Institute in half an hour.
Compared to the giant gates Mo Wangchen had seen before, the main gate of the Heavenly God Institute in this era was even more magnificent, cast from two massive Spirit Stones and standing tall. Just approaching it, one could feel the rich Spiritual Power filling the Heaven and Earth here.
In front of the institute’s gates, shadows continually flitted by. Most were cultivators who came from the city, others from afar riding the clouds and riding mist, prominently strong, all coming to support the scene.
"Daoist Fellow Tianlong, today we come merely to discuss, not to start a war. What is this scene with your Human Clan all about?"
Inside the gate of the Heavenly God Institute, a vast square gradually filled with more and more people, mostly Humans.
Among the crowd, tens of figures stood together, some with wings on their backs, some with dragon heads and human bodies, all from the Ancient Royal Families.
"Hehe, today’s matter cannot be separated from the rise and fall of our Human Clan. Although weak, every individual cares deeply about our race’s wellbeing. With so many people here, I hope you, Roc King, can understand."
The person previously called Daoist Fellow Tianlong stood among the crowd too, followed by many powerful figures, the great powers of the Human Clan.
"The first generation Dean, Heavenly Dragon Sage!"
Mo Wangchen was slightly astonished in his heart, not expecting to encounter the first Dean of the Heavenly God Institute here.
In this era, the Heavenly God Institute had only been established for tens of thousands of years. Heavenly Dragon Sage, having achieved the Ancient God Realm tens of thousands of years ago, thereby founded the present Heavenly God Institute.
"Our Ancient Clan joining the Heavenly God Institute is to draw closer ties with the Human Clan, naturally allowing your Human Clan to flourish. How can we speak of decline?"
The Roc King stood not far opposite Heavenly Dragon Sage, with his hands behind his back, seemingly looking down on all living beings. Although his words were light, his eyes clearly carried a hint of disdain as he scanned the Human cultivators.
"Hmph, what exactly your Ancient Clan is scheming, everyone is well aware. Why go through these roundabouts?"
Behind Heavenly Dragon Sage, a powerful individual from the Human Clan stood up, also having the Ancient God Realm cultivation, one of the very few top-tier masters of the Human Clan in this era.
"It’s Fang Family’s Saint Master. I didn’t expect that he would come to support our Human Clan today."
"Fang Family has always been self-preserving, never actively conflicting with the Ancient Clan. But it’s unexpected that even he came today, and personally at that."
"I heard recently that the Fang Family suffered a loss at the hands of the Ancient Clan, so their presence here is not surprising."
