Chapter 543 Team Leader, Gu Changqing

The ancient mine is a unique area in the Northern Wilderness Continent.

Under each ancient mine, there is a pinnacle spiritual vein in the Northern Wilderness Continent.

This level of spiritual veins can already be called [earth veins] and [dragon veins]. If any problem occurs in any one of them, it will have a huge impact on the spiritual energy environment of the entire Northern Wilderness Continent.

But it is precisely because of the spiritual veins of these earth veins that all kinds of divine materials and supreme divine minerals can be cultivated above these earth veins.

In the ancient years, these mines and the surrounding areas were extremely prosperous, and they were the essence of the Northern Wilderness Continent.

But after the end of the Ancient Era, as the spiritual energy wave fell, these mines gradually fell into disuse.

In the long past, countless monks and souls who came to the mines to explore and search for divine materials fell here and were bound by the earth's veins, becoming existences similar to corpse demons, entrenched in these mines all year round.

As time goes by, today is the day.

These [ancient mines] inherited from ancient times have become existences similar to life restricted areas.

In the entire Northern Wasteland, only the supreme forces at the level of Ares Academy can completely occupy an ancient mine.

The [Tiangong Ancient Mine] controlled by Tiangong Temple, one of the three halls of Ares Academy, is in a similar situation.

For the average and inferior Ancient God Clan and the Ancient God Sect, there are only two ways to obtain top-level divine materials.

Either go together and take risks to unite elites from all races and sects to seek opportunities in those ancient mines.

Or, it is to pay tribute and trade with forces at the level of Ares Academy in exchange for the opportunity to explore in those relatively safe ancient mines.

The [Tianhuang Ancient Mine], which produces wild crystals, is the most dangerous among the many ancient mines in the Northern Wilderness Continent.

The corpse demon accumulated in it has become so powerful that it will only try to open the seal once every 100,000 years.

The more frequently the seal is opened, the greater the possibility of problems, and the more likely it is that the corpse demon inside will break out of the Tianhuang ancient mine, causing the entire Divine Continent to bleed and drift, and all life will be ruined!

"Sure enough, whether it's Chaos Crystal or Desolate Crystal, treasures of this level are not that easy to get!"

After learning about the situation of Tianhuang Ancient Mine, Gu Changqing couldn't help but murmur.

The zombie demons that live and wreak havoc in the Tianhuang Ancient Mine are based on the intelligence collected in the Ten Thousand Dao Palace.

The strongest ones even have corpse demons that have reached the Tao Master realm.

Although Gu Changqing's current strength is extraordinary, it is only the realm master's perfect level of combat power.

There is not much chance of winning against the corpse demon in the Dao Lord realm.

"Fortunately, I have the blessing of the Zhuxian Sword Formation. Even if I lose, I can still protect myself."

Gu Changqing already made a decision in his mind.

The Tianhuang ancient mine opens once every 100,000 years, and this year, it is the day when the 100,000-year-old ancient mine opens.

Naturally, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Moreover, it's not just Gu Changqing.

The opening of the Tianhuang Ancient Mine is a grand event for the entire Northern Wilderness Continent.

By then, even the God of War Academy, and even the other two supreme holy places of cultivation, the [Zhenwu Dao Sect] and the [Ten Thousand Spirits Pagoda], which are as famous as the God of War Academy, will have strong men coming to explore the ancient mines of Tianhuang.

Gu Changqing could just take this opportunity to enter it.

But he was not prepared to take Xiao Yiren with him, not even Yi Ruoxue.

"The Tianhuang Ancient Mine is more dangerous than others, so it's safer for me to go out alone."

However, what Gu Changqing didn't expect was that after he informed Yuan Sheng Territory Lord of his intentions, Yuan Sheng Territory Lord assigned him an unexpected task.

"You want me to be the leader of the academy's entry into the Tianhuang Ancient Mine this time? This...senior, can I refuse this task?"

Gu Changqing said somewhat dumbfounded.

He didn't even want to take his own daughter with him, so how could he be willing to be the leader of the group?

But Territory Master Yuan Sheng was very solemn this time and rejected Gu Changqing's request outright: "My friend, just be my helper for this task, let's get on with it!"

Territory Lord Yuan Sheng said with a somewhat helpless tone.

"The masters and deputy masters of the three halls are currently in retreat, either trying to gather new areas, or simply preparing to attack the realm of the world lord."

"As for me, last time I went to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine a hundred thousand years ago, I ended up having a conflict with a corpse demon Taoist master inside. If I were to lead the team this time, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for those little guys! "

After saying that, Territory Master Yuan Sheng looked at Gu Changqing: "As for the other deputy master, he has been practicing with the master all year round, and currently neither of them can be contacted."

"Now that you have taken the initiative to come to me and ask Ying to go to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine, if I don't entrust you with this task, who else can I entrust it to?"

Seeing the sincere request from Domain Master Yuan Sheng, Gu Changqing felt helpless.

Fortunately, Territory Lord Yuan Sheng also knew that since Gu Changqing was going to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine, he was probably eyeing the [Desolate Crystal] from the Tianhuang Ancient Mine.

That kind of treasure has always been found only in the deepest part of Tianhuang Ancient Mine. If Gu Changqing were to lead the team there, Gu Changqing would definitely be unable to do anything, so he might as well just do it.

"Don't worry, little friend, you don't need to take those boys deep into the Tianhuang Ancient Mine. You just need to bring them into the mine and arrange for them to practice on the outside."

This time, Ares Academy did not originally plan to send too many people to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine to explore opportunities and collect divine materials.

With the Tiangong ancient mine in hand, the various natural materials and treasures of the God of War Academy are still sufficient.

Going to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine is just to let them practice, broaden their horizons, and gain some practical experience.

The corpse demons in the Tianhuang Ancient Mine have extraordinary strength, and the evil spirit of the corpse demons on their bodies can invisibly infiltrate the souls of the monks, pollute their thoughts, and eventually assimilate them into corpse demons silently.

These methods are quite similar to some of the secret techniques used by demons from outside the territory. They allow the disciples and instructors of the academy to train and accumulate some experience in fighting this method in advance.

After listening to Territory Master Yuan Sheng's explanation, Gu Changqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that the college would arrange for him to be a nanny.

If he has time and there is no urgent task, he will not refuse.

But now that he thinks about building the ninety-nine realms, he feels like his head is as big as a bucket. Where can he find the time to be a nanny?

Since there is no need, Gu Changqing will naturally not refuse anymore. He simply nodded and received a golden token from Yuan Sheng, the domain master, and recognized the master with blood.

"brush!"

Through this token, Gu Changqing instantly sensed the existence of fluctuations in the souls of more than 300 monks.

These more than three hundred monks include beings from all races, as well as strong human beings, students, and mentors.

At the same time that Gu Changqing sensed them, they all also noticed Gu Changqing's spirit, and they couldn't help but be shocked!

"Whose soul is this? Is it so powerful?"

"Could it be that the deputy dean is leading the team this time and taking us to the ancient mine that day?"

"But why did I hear that the deputy dean seems to have some unresolved minor problems and is unable to take us to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine?"

One of the students and mentors who was named as the representative of Ares Academy and went to Tianhuang Ancient Mine were a little surprised.

Listening to the fluctuation of their souls, Gu Changqing couldn't help but smile. He didn't say anything more and just spoke lightly.

"Dear students and colleagues, my name is Gu Changqing. This time I will lead the team to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine. Everyone will gather on time tomorrow. We will take the teleportation array and go directly to the entrance of the Tianhuang Ancient Mine!"

"The team is led by Instructor Gu Changqing?"

Gu Changqing's spiritual message fell quietly, making the eyes of the more than 300 academy monks light up with divine light.

Both students and instructors were extremely surprised when they heard that Gu Changqing was leading the team.

Originally, when they were selected and went to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine, they were quite worried.

They are all too familiar with the name of Tianhuang Ancient Mine.

They also know very well who are the strong men within the academy who can lead the team this time.

The most that can be dispatched are the chief elders of each palace. People like Blood Peak, whose strength is at the realm lord level.

In the Tianhuang Ancient Mine, I could protect myself, but if I wanted to protect them anymore, I would be powerless.

Even in the outer areas of the ancient mine.

But if it's Gu Changqing, that's a different matter.

Gu Changqing's strength has gone through many previous turmoils, especially the fight for the secret treasure in the All Saints Cemetery.

It has been seen by the entire God of War Academy.

Both students and tutors admired him to the extreme.

Especially those students, they may have their own pride and do not put ordinary tutors in their eyes.

But towards Gu Changqing, they were extremely convinced.

How could they not be surprised when they heard that Gu Changqing was leading the team?

"With Teacher Changqing here, at least we are safe and there will be no accidents!"

With excitement, everyone began to go down to prepare for the Tianhuang Ancient Mine.

Gu Changqing also explained to Xiao Yiren and Yi Ruoxue, and then set off directly. On the second day, he led everyone directly into the teleportation array and started heading towards the Tianhuang Ancient Mine.

Just when Gu Changqing set out, the entire Northern Wilderness Continent was changing again with the opening of the Tianhuang Ancient Mine!
