Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1353 Gathering Of Talents

About eighteen thousand kilometers away from the Archean mountain, Darren and the others couldalready 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 immediatelynoticed 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 mountainagain 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 therefrom time to time.

Upon inspection of their bone age, they found out that they were equivalent to the cultivatorsaround 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 PrimitiveWilderness.

Despite that, they were surprised to perceive that many of these young cultivators were actually atthe Celestial God Realm already. Darren was thrilled and immediately concluded that that was whatreal innate talent looked like. Moreover, according to the information that he received, these youngtalents 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 ofthe 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 thatthey 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 beensummoned.

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 everyonethat wanted to go to the mountain. It also made sense why several important figures had alsosummoned their disciples.

As the generals examined the letters, they were further surprised to see that they were all from veryimportant 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 welcomedby 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 topass through the purple mist.

However, the generals quickly stopped them and said, “I'm sorry but you only have threeconfidential letters, so only three of you can enter. That's the rule. The others should just waitoutside."

"General, I'm his personal servant. Can't I go in?" Gatlin respectfully negotiated his request.

"We're just merely inspecting everyone. We didn't come up with the rules. Previously, a warrior atthe Superior God Realm escorted his young master up to this point. Even he didn't get to enter. Therule strictly indicates that only those bearing the secret letter may enter. Please understand.” Thegenerals explained the situation calmly. After all, the people with the secret letters all knew somewell-known masters. They couldn't make a scene that might hurt their reputation

"It's alright, Gatlin. You can go back first. Lord Starry Sword and Finley's real body are with us. Restassured that we'll be just fine," Darren said with confidence.

"All right then, I'll just wait outside.” Although Gatlin really wanted to accompany them, he couldn'tjust insist on what he wanted. After all, he might also cause trouble for Darren and the others.Moreover, he also had a status to take care of as a warrior at the middle-level of the Celestial GodRealm, so he couldn't afford to do anything rash.

"We'll go on ahead.” Darren nodded at Gatlin and immediately went inside with Finley and Lindsay.The two of them were able to get in since Darren had two other letters.

Weber also followed them but was briefly stopped. However, he just took out and showed his tokenand was able to get inside. It was his proof that he also got summoned by his master.

As they went past through the purple mist, they soon found hundreds of young talents alreadysitting with legs crossed in the void.

These young talents seemed to be not sitting in proper order, but they were somehow gathered ingroups of three or five. Darren and the others assumed that those who knew each other weregrouped together.

Moreover, they also noticed that the number of people entering the area was still increasing. Theywere all warriors and disciples that had received confidential letters from famous masters andfigures.

"Wow! Look at all those handsome men and beautiful women,” Weber exclaimed. He was takenaback upon seeing all those elegant and good-looking men. But his eyes lit up when he saw thewomen that looked more stunning than the immortals.

"You disgusting fat guy! How can you still be in the mood to stare at beautiful women, knowing howdangerous our situation could be?" Lindsay gave him an earful.

"Who cares? They are right in front of my eyes! What do you want me to do? Close my eyes?"Weber dismissed what Lindsay said and continued looking at all these women with his eyes full oflustful desires.

"Hey! Look at that one. She's almost as beautiful as you!" Weber's eyes widened at the sight of thisparticular woman.

His words immediately sent a shiver down Lindsay's spine. She felt so disgusted that she wanted tothrow up. Meanwhile, she also felt flattered.

Finley suddenly kicked him in the ass and said, "Can you shut up and behave yourself?"

"Hey! Why would you kick me? It's none of your busi—"

"Enough!" Darren had enough and shouted at Weber before he could even finish what he wassaying to Finley. "Be quiet and sit down, or I'll be the one to kick you."

"Y-yes, boss.” With that, Weber just sat with his legs crossed in the void, but his eyes were stillwandering around, causing several women to look back at him with disdainful eyes. After all, theseyoung talents had high cultivation bases, and they could easily discern if someone had a maliciousintent on them.

After about six hours of waiting, there were already more than a thousand young talents that hadgathered in the area.

"Sorry for keeping all of you waiting."

Out of nowhere, three figures with extraordinary auras appeared in front of the crowd.

Behind them stood some black-robed cultivators that carried several large boxes.

All the people present couldn't help but guess the content of the boxes. One could easily say thatmost of the young talents were refined geniuses with such a pleasing demeanor.

"Thank you all for coming.

I know that many things are going on in your heads, and you're also quite confused as to why youwere summoned here,” one of the three figures said, building up the expectation of the audience.Everyone was holding their breath and was extremely eager to know the answer.

"But we'll talk about that later.”

The audience let out deep sighs and was pretty annoyed after being left hanging. Even Webercursed in a low voice. He thought that if the speaker hadn't been so powerful, he would havedefinitely rushed over and punched him in the face.

"Hand out the items first,” the elder in the lead ordered the black-robed cultivators to begin thedistribution of the items from the boxes.

Then, several big boxes were simultaneously opened. Some of them were filled with pills, whilesome of them were filled with runes. The other boxes were filled with various types of divinepatterns.

Soon, the men in black robes started moving and distributed the items accordingly.

They moved rapidly, and in no time, everyone was already handed a set of each kind.

Each of them received two Talent-upgrading Elixirs, two Resuscitation Elixirs, a Space-crossing Rune,a Power-strengthening Rune, an Indestructible Rune, and two types of divine patterns—each typecomposed of six level-nine divine patterns.

However, Darren noticed that he only got one type of 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 divinepatterns.”

Darren was actually pretty surprised upon hearing this. It turned out that the divine patterns weredistributed 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 thatthey 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 stillhaven't told us why we are here and why they are handing all these precious items to us." At thispoint, 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 onlyafford 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 rulecultivator who possessed life divine patterns. Even if a warrior at the top level of the Celestial GodRealm was killed, this elixir could still save him.

The Space-crossing Rune could instantly enable someone to teleport across a distance of tenthousand kilometers. Then, the Power-strengthening Rune could readily increase a warrior'scomprehensive combat power by ten times without giving off any side effects. Lastly, possessing theIndestructible Rune was equivalent to having the Golden Indestructible Body. With it, the cultivatorwould 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 severalpeople, there should be a very huge reason behind it. Now, Darren couldn't wait to hear what thatreason was.
