Not long after the arrival of the Golden Sword.
More and more prestigious sects' prodigies arrived.
Chen Wei, the Saintess of Xuan Shuang Valley.
Xie Ying, the young master and son of the Palace Master of Xie Yue Palace.
Luo Ke, the contemporary Demon Son of Blood Demon Sect.
Ao Long Wudi, the Saint Son of Chi Long Hall.
...
The arrival of these true top prodigies from the Cang Realm immediately caused a stir within Wang Yue Valley.
The young geniuses cast envious and awestruck glances at them.
Their power made the sect leaders and elders of smaller and medium-sized sects feel a strong sense of threat.
"Damn it, what do these top prodigies eat to grow? All of them, under thirty, have already advanced to the Giant Spirit Realm King!"
Wu Zhi felt that heaven was too unfair.
He himself had cultivated for over eighty years, only barely reaching the peak of the early Giant Spirit Realm, still a step away from the middle Giant Spirit Realm.
These Saint Sons and Saintesses from the top ten or even top five sects, despite looking incredibly young, had already caught up to him, and their strength might not even be weaker than his.
They were all monstrously strong!
Even he dared not provoke them easily.
It was truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.
Beside Wu Zhi.
Ling Fan merely raised his eyelids, glanced at these top prodigies, and lost all interest.
However, when the people from Snow King Palace descended, Ling Fan's eyes suddenly burst forth with unprecedented brilliance.
The intensity of this brilliance even startled Wu Zhi.
From the Snow King Palace.
More than ten beautiful women, dressed in ethereal white dresses, descended on graceful and docile white demonic cranes.
Those women were too beautiful.
Their demeanor was pure and refined, as cold and proud as snow, attracting a large number of young geniuses, making them admire them.
Especially the woman at the forefront.
She was simply breathtakingly beautiful.
The moment she appeared, the eyes of those young geniuses seemed to stick to her, unable to move away.
Even top prodigies like Luo Ke, the contemporary Demon Son of Blood Demon Sect, and Ao Long Wudi, the Saint Son of Chi Long Hall, were mesmerized.
They showed a brief moment of losing composure.
The Saintess of Snow King Palace.
Xue Liu Sha.
Ling Fan withdrew his gaze in disappointment.
The beauty of these women was almost comparable to Lan Xueyi.
But...
No matter how beautiful they were, they were not the person Ling Fan was waiting for.
"Xueyi... why didn't you come! With your Nine Deaths Spirit Phoenix Body talent, you should have been a key cultivation target even in Snow King Palace..."
A hint of coldness appeared in Ling Fan's eyes.
Wu Zhi beside him felt the surrounding temperature drop drastically, causing him to shiver.
He secretly glanced at Ling Fan.
He wondered what was wrong with this lord. Seeing such exceptionally beautiful women, not only did he not appreciate them, but where did this coldness come from?
Just then.
A heaven-shattering roar boomed from the sky.
Before everyone could react, they all looked up at the sky in shock.
A massive black shadow was approaching, covering the sky.
It was like a vast dark cloud.
It was a giant sky eagle, incredibly fast.
Its wingspan was a hundred meters.
Its beak was like a celestial hook.
Its demonic eyes exuded a cold and sharp glint.
A terrifying aura of a demon king enveloped the area, causing the demonic birds and beasts of other sects to lower their heads and cry out mournfully.
This was actually a Giant Spirit Realm Eagle King!
However, this fearsome demonic bird, which could be a king and overlord elsewhere, was merely someone's mount at this moment.
A person descended from this Eagle King.
Wearing a feathered crown and white armor, he descended like a god, handsome and extraordinary.
After he stepped down.
The people behind him dared to disembark from the Eagle King one after another.
The undisputed number one sect in the Cang Realm.
The people of Tian Cang Sect had arrived.
And this young man, who was like a god, was the Saint Son of Tian Cang Sect, the prodigy among prodigies, Wu Changkong!
Upon seeing Wu Changkong appear.
The geniuses of smaller and medium-sized sects felt a sense of inferiority.
Even top prodigies as proud as Luo Ke of Blood Demon Sect, Ao Long Wudi of Chi Long Hall, Xie Ying of Xie Yue Palace, and Chen Wei of Xuan Shuang Valley, while feeling a surge of fighting spirit, also harbored a deep sense of apprehension.
"The prodigies of all major sects have arrived. The Wang Yue Martial Gathering can now begin."
A majestic voice sounded.
"Good."
"Good."
"Heh heh, I wonder which ten geniuses will stand out this year and receive the elixir qi infusion from that Silver Toad."
Several more voices echoed from the void.
Immediately.
Several figures emerged from the void surrounding the valley.
Each of them exuded an immeasurably powerful cultivation aura.
"Who are they?"
Ling Fan asked.
Wu Zhi lowered his voice and said, "That is Elder Yin Tuo of Tian Cang Sect, that is the Fourth Hall Master Tu Zuo of Chi Long Hall, and that beautiful woman, tsk tsk, is Elder Xue Hanming of Snow King Palace."
"These three are truly giants renowned throughout the Cang Realm. Their strength and status are even higher than the sect leaders of ordinary small and medium-sized sects. They are at least in the late Giant Spirit Realm!"
"Besides these three, the remaining individuals are elders from Blood Demon Sect, Silver Feather Sect, Xie Yue Palace, and Xuan Shuang Valley, with cultivation levels around the middle Giant Spirit Realm."
"These major sects are jointly responsible for opening Wang Yue Valley, and at the same time, they are here to support their disciples."
As Wu Zhi was introducing them to Ling Fan.
The seven sect powerhouses had joined forces to open Wang Yue Valley.
With a thunderous roar, Wang Yue Valley rumbled open.
In the depths of Wang Yue Valley, a mountain peak shrouded in faint divine radiance appeared.
"The Wang Yue Martial Gathering is held annually, and we will not repeat the rules. You should all be well aware of them."
"Show your skills and rely on your own abilities."
The seven powerhouses stationed themselves around the valley.
They no longer interfered.
Nearly twenty sects of various sizes, with hundreds of geniuses, began to rush towards the mountain peak in the depths of Wang Yue Valley.
"What rules?"
Ling Fan did not rush to move, but asked Wu Zhi indifferently.
Wu Zhi quickly explained, "Do you see that large pavilion in the middle of the mountain peak? It's like your Wang Yue Pavilion. To contend for a top ten spot, you must first withstand the pressure of the mountain and walk to the Wang Yue Pavilion on the mountainside."
"This step alone will filter out many people."
"Then, the geniuses who reach the Wang Yue Pavilion will spar with each other until the ten strongest geniuses are decided, and they will have the opportunity to continue climbing to the summit."
"The legendary Silver Toad is at the summit. Tonight, when the moon is full, it will inhale and exhale elixir qi towards the moon. That is a great treasure."
Wu Zhi's expression was one of covetousness.
He was practically drooling.
"Ling Fan Ge, let's go together!"
At this moment.
Mu Yiyi waved to Ling Fan from a distance.
Mu Qin Xin stood beside Mu Yiyi with a stern face.
Ling Fan glanced at Mu Qin Xin, then smiled faintly at Mu Yiyi and said, "You go first, I'll catch up."
"Okay, then you have to be quick!"
Mu Yiyi appeared very excited.
"Why are you talking nonsense with him?"
Mu Qin Xin seemed very impatient, and pulled Mu Yiyi forward.
After walking a few steps.
Mu Qin Xin couldn't help but look back, staring at Ling Fan with fighting spirit, "Ling Fan, I have already broken through to the Giant Spirit Realm and basically secured a top ten spot. Don't tell me you can't even reach the Wang Yue Pavilion, let alone have the qualification to fight me!"
