About eighteen thousand kilometers away from the Archean mountain, Darren and the others could already see its towering figure going straight into the thick clouds.
"Is that the Archean mountain?" It was Gatlin's first time to see the mountain. He immediately noticed that it was incomparable with the other known mountains. It looked so magnificent.
"Yes. We have witnessed how it came into existence." However, when Darren saw the mountain again this time, he somehow had a different feeling. He knew that its appearance was extraordinary, but now, he felt like it was some kind of a sacred pillar that was oozing with majesty.
As they got closer to the Archean mountain, they encountered several figures flying here and there from time to time.
Upon inspection of their bone age, they found out that they were equivalent to the cultivators around twenty-five years of age in the mortal worlds.
It seemed that they had just cultivated for no more than ten thousand years in the Primitive Wilderness.
Despite that, they were surprised to perceive that many of these young cultivators were actually at the Celestial God Realm already. Darren was thrilled and immediately concluded that that was what real innate talent looked like. Moreover, according to the information that he received, these young talents were disciples of several big shots, which would actually make sense.
As for Darren himself, he was quite a prominent figure to be summoned by three famous masters of the human race at the same time.
Then, about ten thousand kilometers away from the Archean mountain, a purple-colored mist, which seemed like a huge wall, eventually blocked their way.
"Before you pass through, we'll briefly hold an inquiry."
Darren and the others were suddenly surrounded by several armored generals who told them that they had to ask some questions.
"Do you have the letter?"
One of the generals approached Darren, suspecting that he should be the only one that had been summoned.
But to their surprise, Darren took out and handed three secret letters.
It seemed that something bad happened this time for them to be this strict in inspecting everyone that wanted to go to the mountain. It also made sense why several important figures had also summoned their disciples.
As the generals examined the letters, they were further surprised to see that they were all from very important persons.
"All right. You may pass," the general said without hesitation and handed the letters back to Darren.
"Sir, may I ask what happened inside?" Gatlin tried to pry, worried that Darren might be welcomed by an extremely dangerous situation upon going inside.
"You don't need to ask. You'll instantly know once you go in," the general answered briefly.
"Let's just go inside first and confirm it with our own eyes," Darren remarked as they prepared to pass through the purple mist.
However, the generals quickly stopped them and said, "I'm sorry but you only have three confidential letters, so only three of you can enter. That's the rule. The others should just wait outside."
"General, I'm his personal servant. Can't I go in?" Gatlin respectfully negotiated his reque
divine pattern.
Soon enough, a man in black flew over to him.
"Darren, we don't have the venomous divine patterns, so you only have six penetrating divine patterns."
Darren was actually pretty surprised upon hearing this. It turned out that the divine patterns were distributed according to the type that each of them already had.
He was amazed that these people even knew what kind of divine patterns he had. It was mind-boggling, so he actually wanted to ask how they knew this information.
But then Darren realized that these people came from the Ancestral Land. Thus, he assumed that they had the capability to get all kinds of information on everyone.
'Well, how they were able to get our information isn't the biggest question right now. They still haven't told us why we are here and why they are handing all these precious items to us.' At this point, Darren was racking his brain to get some answers but he couldn't arrive with one.
For example, the Talent-upgrading Elixirs were so precious that even the lord of a region could only afford to reward a few to his most talented disciples.
But this time, the Ancestral Land gave out around three thousand of these elixirs.
Another item given was the Resuscitation Elixir. It was usually refined by a Deputy God Realm rule cultivator who possessed life divine patterns. Even if a warrior at the top level of the Celestial God Realm was killed, this elixir could still save him.
The Space-crossing Rune could instantly enable someone to teleport across a distance of ten thousand kilometers. Then, the Power-strengthening Rune could readily increase a warrior's comprehensive combat power by ten times without giving off any side effects. Lastly, possessing the Indestructible Rune was equivalent to having the Golden Indestructible Body. With it, the cultivator would be able to easily resist the attacks from a Superior God Realm warrior.
Even just a single one of these items was extremely valuable. For them to distribute these to several people, there should be a very huge reason behind it. Now, Darren couldn't wait to hear what that reason was.
