When the sun rose, the first ray of sunlight broke through the horizon and revived everything. Accompanied by the clamorous sounds of sales, the ancient city slowly revived like an ancient beast.

In the past few days in the city, the two hottest topics were the dark horse champions and the death of Long Hantian of the Sky Dragon Sect. As the instigator of these two hotspots, Gu Lin was still immersed in cultivation.

It was only today that Long Hantian's topic was covered up by another topic, because today was the day the "Valley of Remains" would be opened. On this special day, Gu Lin once again became the topic of conversation.

Moreover, Wang Ying had already been famous for a long time. If she was able to obtain first place, no one would be surprised, but Gu Lin was like a dark horse that suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, his prestige and strength could not be considered top in their eyes. Currently, this youth that could not be considered top, had actually obtained the number one title in the outer courtyard.

Amidst the jealousy and envy in Gu Lin's voice, a few discordant words were heard. Many people expressed their doubts, Gu Lin being able to defeat an advanced Spirit Gathering realm cultivator, this had never happened before in their history, some people even thought that he must have been faked by the Four Holy Orchid Institute. Of course, once this rumor spread, that person was immediately drowned in a mouthful of saliva by the Four Holy Orchid Institute's students, but it was true that no one had ever challenged someone beyond their cultivation level, but they were all Heaven's pride existences, so in their eyes, Gu Lin did not belong to this kind of people, so many people thought that Gu Lin was lucky.

Of course, they did not hold back their thoughts for too long, because in the end, they clearly knew that when Gu Lin's opponent was Wang Ying, these thoughts would be snuffed out in the cradle. If Wang Ying was said to be lucky, then they would all become a joke since Wang Ying's bloodline and talent were all there.

Of course, other than the dark horse that appeared a few days ago, Wang Ying had become famous at a young age. Her bloodline power had already reached the saint rank, and on the day of her awakening, even the elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect had personally come. Just when everyone thought that this year's first place would be Wang Ying, a dark horse had suddenly appeared and defeated Wang Ying.

Therefore, Wang Ying would definitely go all out. If she wanted to defeat the former, there was no need to go easy on her, but even if Wang Ying went all out, she was still defeated by the former.

Thus, this dark horse was very dark. This resounding slap was not a small blow.

Currently, Gu Lin's name was definitely on the Demon Leaderboard, and he was definitely in the top three.

While the entire Four Sacred Grounds was bustling with noise and excitement, Gu Lin, Little Flame, and the others had long since arrived at the deepest forbidden area under the lead of the Four Sacred Grounds' elders. Of course, on the way, they also bumped into Wang Ying and Luo Bai.

Gu Lin and the rest were located in the deepest forbidden area of the Four Holy Orchid Institute. This was a forest that grew older with age, and what appeared before them was an altar. On the altar, there was a strange bloodline fluctuation.

A thousand years ago, a supreme expert of the demon race had discovered this place and sealed it within the altar, then discovered that this skeleton actually possessed the power to enhance one's bloodline. However, it could only be discovered when one was below the sage realm, so it was sealed in the outer court. Otherwise, it would have long since been taken back to the inner court.

Gu Lin nodded slightly, his eyes filled with shock. Although it was only the spiritual power clone of the Four Saints, it was not a wasted trip to see the remains of the Four Saints.

"Alright, everyone. Since the top ten have been gathered, I will open the altar with Elder Gu." Old Zhang stepped out, and when he saw the top ten students, he called out to them.

After which, he walked toward the altar and looked at the crowd. The 'Ice Flame' was Gu Lin's affinity Demonic Beast, hence, the number of people in this year's' Skeleton Valley 'had increased to eleven. His faint voice was emitted, however, it exploded the words of everyone present.

Upon hearing these words, a trace of shock flashed across Luo Bai and Wang Ying's eyes. Little Flame is Gu Lin's Destiny Demonic Beast? Little Flame was a teacher of the academy, and his cultivation was already at the advanced Spirit Gathering stage. How could he have become his demon beast? Of course, they did not know that Little Flame was already at the half-step Saint level. Otherwise, they would be even more shocked.

Generally, demonic beasts would not sign a contract, so who would give their lives to a stranger for no reason other than to convince a demonic beast? Otherwise, they would never sign a symbiosis contract.

"Alright, I won't say anymore. Whether or not I can evolve your bloodline after I enter will depend on your own abilities!"

As the sound of his voice faded, Elder Gu and the elders from the Four Sacred Grounds walked out, facing the altar.

"Seal!"

Elder Gu was the first to let out a furious roar as his hand changed forms. A moment later, another Mysterious Black Sea Dragon whale formed from Spiritual Energy appeared in his hand. Then, it shot out from his hand and into the altar.

"Swoosh!"

As the ancient Spiritual Energy entered, Old Zhang from the Four Sacred Grounds also jumped out from the Spiritual Body in his hand and landed on the altar.

As the two streams of Spiritual Energies entered, the surroundings of the altar emitted a strange light.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

After the two of them entered the altar, a strange rumbling sound was emitted from within the altar. Following which, the surrounding strange light slowly ascended under the gaze of Gu Lin and the others. A powerful bloodline pressure was emitted from within, before it transformed into a gigantic vortex of Spiritual Energy.

Inside the vortex, is the entrance to the valley of remains. Gu Lin, Wang Ying, and the rest of you, quickly enter and remember not to disrespect the remains. Otherwise, even we will not be able to protect you. As the Spiritual Energy swirled and condensed, an ancient and deep voice rang out from within his body.
