Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 176: The Sacred Banquet

Zuo Ling’s strength is formidable, having received Quasi-Emperor inheritance and being shielded by a Quasi-Emperor supreme treasure, his prowess is not ordinary.

But times have changed.

Before he attained the Saint realm, Gu Tiangang wasn’t aware of the might of a Saint, but upon truly entering the Saint realm, he realized the terror of this realm.

Compared to before, Gu Tiangang is confident he could slay his former self in less than ten moves.

This.

Is the power of a Saint.

It is true that Quasi-Emperor supreme treasures are strong, but as one’s cultivation advances, the gap that such treasures bring gradually diminishes.

What’s more, now that Gu Tiangang has become a Saint, he can genuinely wield the power of Holy Soldiers.

A Saint equipped with a top-tier Holy Soldier, against a True Monarch at the peak, along with a difficult-to-control Quasi-Emperor supreme treasure, Gu Tiangang feels assured of victory.

As long as Zuo Ling hasn’t proven his path to become a Saint, Gu Tiangang is confident in suppressing him.

Even if Zuo Ling has indeed proven his path, Gu Tiangang remains unafraid.

A Saint with the Ancient Wilderness Saint Body is incomparable to ordinary Saints.

However.

Since Gu Tiangang has just broken through, perhaps it would be wise to consolidate his own cultivation first.

...

On another note.

The news of Gu Tiangang proving his path to sainthood soon spread, and any reputable force received invitations from the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land to attend the sacred banquet.

Though many forces were reluctant, out of respect for the Saint’s face, they had no choice but to send representatives. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

In the following days, the entire Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land was bustling with festive decor, as various forces visited, bringing esteem to the Sacred Land’s disciples.

"The Patriarch of the Dongfang Family has arrived, presenting a gift of a three-thousand-year-old spirit medicine!"

"The Patriarch of the Ye Family has arrived, presenting a gift of a Dragon Transformation supreme treasure!"

"The Patriarch of the Qin Family has arrived, presenting a gift of a Dragon Transformation supreme treasure!"

"The Sect Master of the Profound Celestial Sect has arrived, presenting a gift of a Daoist supreme treasure!"

"The Divine Water Sect..."

Voices came one after another, drawing the attention of many cultivators who had arrived earlier.

Millennia-old spirit medicines!

Dragon Transformation supreme treasures!

For ordinary cultivators, these are rare supreme treasures, considering that experts of Dragon Transformation rank are formidable even throughout the Ancient Wilderness.

Treasures and spiritual medicines of such levels are naturally cherished.

As for those at a higher tier, only major sects and Sacred Lands would possess them.

"Tsk tsk, now it seems all nine great families of the Ancient Wilderness have almost arrived, along with the major sects like the Profound Celestial and Divine Water Sects, showing the grand prestige of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land

At present, it seems only the two Sacred Lands haven’t made any moves yet!"

Nine great families!

Major sects!

These are top-tier forces just below the three Sacred Lands, and they rank among the most notable in the entire Ancient Wilderness.

The cultivators of such forces are usually lofty, yet at the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land’s sacred banquet now, they each accompanied with smiling faces, demonstrating the immense might of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land.

Upon hearing.

Some cultivators shook their heads slightly: "The Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land has itself been one of the three Sacred Lands, its status revered, and now with the one who has proven his path to sainthood, the sacred land’s prestige has climbed another level.

In places like the Central Province Divine Wilderness, no Saints have emerged as of now, with the Ancient Saint Master being the first contemporary Saint, who wouldn’t show respect.

It is just that the news of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land’s sacred banquet hasn’t spread too far yet, otherwise, those top forces from places like Divine Wilderness Central Province would likely send formidable representatives to witness..."

Soon after the cultivator’s words fell, a powerful voice resounded, instantly overpowering all others.

"The Saint Son of Taichu Sacred Land from Divine Wilderness has arrived, presenting a gift of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicine!"

As the words fell.

Everyone’s eyes together glanced toward the entrance of the banquet, where a young man in white robes walked in slowly, his features seemingly ordinary, yet exuding an impossible-to-ignore demeanor.

Simultaneously, the elders of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land were jolted into action, stepping in directly to welcome him.

"Tsk, even the Saint Son of Taichu Sacred Land has come, Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land truly gains much face this time!"

"Tsk tsk, after this sacred banquet, the fame of Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land will surely soar!"

Noticing everyone’s gaze, Zhang Ming gave a slight smile and, under the guidance of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land elder, reached the foremost seat.

Of course, he couldn’t show up with his true appearance, using disguise techniques to appear as someone else.

However, although his appearance had changed, Zhang Ming wasn’t worried about someone questioning his identity.

After all, as the first Saint Son of Taichu Sacred Land, he had been in seclusion for years, only showing up to contend when Secret Realms appeared; even within Divine Wilderness, there weren’t many who truly recognized him, not to mention the Ancient Wilderness.

Even coming disguised, Zhang Ming believed no suspicion would be aroused, because the identity token in his possession was genuine.

Moreover.

In this world, no one would dare impersonate a Saint Son of a Great Emperor-level influence.

Such news, once exposed, would certainly invite disaster.

As Zhang Ming settled down, a terrifying aura began to pervade the air, as Gu Tiangang, donned in black and gold robes, walked upon the void.

Upon his appearance, all cultivators rose to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Ancient Saint Master!"

"No need for formalities, today’s banquet at the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, I’m delighted to have everyone’s presence, so please, make yourselves at home."

Gu Tiangang said with a smile.

After speaking.

His gaze shifted to Zhang Ming, immediately recognizing the attire as belonging to Taichu Sacred Land, and the waist token was inscribed with the name Zhang Ming.

For any top-tier influence, their identity tokens are close to impossible to forge, and as a master of one of the Sacred Lands, Gu Tiangang had a decent understanding of these top forces.

Therefore.

Gu Tiangang had no doubt about Zhang Ming’s true identity but instead said with a jovial tone, "I’ve long heard of the unparalleled genius of Saint Son Zhang, a top prodigy of Taichu Sacred Land, meeting you today proves the rumors are true!"

"You’re too kind, Ancient Saint Master. I was traveling these days, happened to pass by the Ancient Wilderness, and upon hearing about the Saint Master’s attainment of sainthood, I came specifically to offer congratulations, hoping my unannounced visit doesn’t cause offense."

Zhang Ming said with dignity, even facing a Saint, maintaining his poise, which secretly impressed others.

Truly worthy of coming from a grand faction, his demeanor and conduct stand apart.

Ordinary cultivators in the presence of a Saint would find it hard to remain so at ease.

Gu Tiangang chuckled, "Saint Son’s visit is a great honor for the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, why would I have any reason to blame? Now that you’re here, why not stay a few more days in the Sacred Land to experience the local culture."

"That sounds agreeable..."

Just as they conversed, more voices quickly emerged.

"Elder of the Feng Family from Central Province has arrived, presenting a gift of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicine!"

"Saint Son of the War God Palace from Central Province has arrived, presenting a gift of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicine!"

The consecutive announcements dominated all, causing everyone to show a hint of shock.
