Chapter 1 Roar!

With a roar.

Above the cliff.

Mysterious yellow energy surrounded it, and auspicious clouds appeared beneath the four hooves of the Xuanhuang Kirin. Golden lotuses sprung from the earth around it, and celestial flowers rained down, with various rays of light permeating, creating an indescribably auspicious and extraordinary scene.

It exuded a terrifying aura, the aura of an ancient divine beast.

Not only that, but the phenomena manifested by the Xuanhuang Kirin perfectly complemented Lu Changsheng's temperament.

With the aura of the Great Dao surrounding him on the Kirin's back, Lu Changsheng appeared like a banished immortal, with an indescribable elegance.

Especially now, riding a Kirin, he truly resembled a real immortal.

Countless women in the Linglong Sacred Ground turned their gazes to Lu Changsheng, completely captivated and lost in reverie.

Even Qian Yunrou, at this moment, couldn't help but feel a strange emotion when she saw Lu Changsheng.

"Big brother, should we go catch that mount now?"

Gu Aotian asked.

"Sure, there are still a few days anyway."

Lu Changsheng nodded. He was very curious about what kind of divine beast that mount was, that could make the Kirin care so much.

"Okay, big brother, hold on tight."

Gu Aotian said, and then he moved slightly, instantly traveling at lightning speed, so fast that it was unbelievable, and disappeared directly from the Linglong Sacred Ground.

Just like that, Lu Changsheng embarked on a journey to find a divine beast mount.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

Bright Moon Ancient City.

With this war of words, the Heavenly Pride Gathering was many times more exciting than in previous years.

Countless young powerhouses appeared, and geniuses from various Great Domains all gathered in Bright Moon Ancient City.

And on this day, with the appearance of a jade carriage, the Shumen Holy Son and the Ziqing Holy Son arrived in Bright Moon Ancient City. However, the two of them had not made any arrangements, it was just a coincidence.

As Holy Sons of Central State, their appearance was naturally extraordinary. They sat on jade carriages, pulled by extremely rare demonic beasts. The one pulling the carriage for the Shumen Holy Son was a Sky Luan bird, an auspicious beast that could travel nine hundred *li* with a flap of its wings.

And the one pulling the carriage for the Ziqing Holy Son was a Purple Crystal Ancient Beast, with a body like a purple crystal, incomparably hard. Each of these ancient beasts was worth a fortune, and there were five of them pulling his carriage.

The Holy Sons' arrival naturally made them stand out.

Bright Moon Ancient City gained even more color.

However, the two Holy Sons, due to the reasons of their Sacred Grounds, although they met, they did not say anything, but just glanced at each other, and then nodded to each other, which was regarded as meeting.

The Shumen Sacred Ground and the Ziqing Sacred Ground have always been at odds, which is something everyone in the world knows. Fortunately, after ten thousand years, although there is discord, it is not like it used to be, and they still respect each other on the surface.

"Two Holy Sons, because there are too many cultivators attending this Heavenly Pride Gathering, the City Lord has ordered that no matter who it is, they must dismount and walk. I hope the two Holy Sons will forgive me."

At this time, the guard commander of Bright Moon Ancient City appeared. He spoke loudly, explaining the reason, hoping that the Holy Sons would get off their mounts.

"Well, alright!"

"Since the City Lord said so, it doesn't matter."

The two got out of the jade carriage. The City Lord of Bright Moon Ancient City was a famous figure. In addition, this Heavenly Pride Gathering had indeed gathered many strong people, not only the younger generation of strong people, but also many of the older generation.

All because of the Tianyuan Holy Realm.

If everyone went in with their mounts, where would there be room for people in Bright Moon Ancient City?

Although they were Holy Sons of Central State, they were also very reasonable and not the kind of playboys.

But just then, a group of people also slowly appeared.

These people were also riding some exotic beasts, which looked very extraordinary, three men and two women.

"Several fellow Daoists from Eastern Earth, the City Lord has ordered that you cannot enter riding mounts. I hope you will dismount and walk in."

The guard commander spoke again. He could tell at a glance that the other party was from Eastern Earth.

"My elder brother is Li Rulong. It's no big deal for a few mounts to enter, right?"

The leading man looked very young, around sixteen years old, riding a purple spirit beast, surrounded by spiritual light, which looked very extraordinary.

He directly opened his mouth, bringing out the name of his elder brother, hoping that the other party would let them pass.

"Several fellow Daoists, we are also acting under orders. I hope you will not embarrass us. These two are the Holy Sons of Central State, and they have also dismounted, so I hope you will forgive me."

The guard commander spoke, his temper was quite good, his attitude was gentle, and he also brought out the names of the Ziqing Holy Son and the Shumen Holy Son.

"Holy Sons of Central State?" The cultivator who claimed to be Li Rulong's younger brother glanced at the Ziqing Holy Son and the Shumen Holy Son, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes, these two are the Shumen Holy Son and the Ziqing Holy Son."

The commander spoke, continuing to explain.

"Oh? Ziqing Holy Son? Shumen Holy Son?" The latter was a little surprised, then looked at the two of them, and then said with a slightly cold expression: "So it was you two who spoke wildly, saying that the cultivators of Eastern Earth are a bunch of trash?"

His expression turned cold, staring at the two Holy Sons, giving people a very punchable feeling at a young age.

"Heh, isn't it?"

The Ziqing Holy Son was not an easy person to deal with either. After feeling the other party's hostility, he immediately opened his mouth and retorted directly.

"A bunch of guys who only rely on their mouths."

The Shumen Holy Son was also very direct, and ridiculed extremely contemptuously, instantly changing the faces of the five people.

"So you guys are Holy Sons? As expected, Central State cultivators are just frogs in a well."

Among the five, the woman wearing blue clothes spoke directly, and was also eloquent.

"I've always heard my elder brother say that none of the Holy Sons of Central State in this generation can be taken seriously. Apart from reminiscing about the past, they never know how to improve."

Li Rulong's younger brother also did not give in, and directly humiliated them.

"A bunch of little kids, saying 'my elder brother' this and 'my elder brother' that. At first glance, you're the kind of person who does whatever they want all day long, pretending to be something by borrowing your brother's fame. It's really laughable. Still 'my elder brother, my elder brother,' as if you can't wait for the whole world to know that your elder brother is Li Rulong?"

The Ziqing Holy Son directly ridiculed, his eyes full of contempt.

"Your elder brother is Li Rulong, my elder brother is Lu Changsheng. Your elder brother doesn't even have the right to carry his shoes. Li brother, let's not bother with this kind of child, it's beneath our dignity."

The Shumen Holy Son spoke, even taking the initiative to call Li Ran "Li brother." This was very rare because of the grievances between the two Sacred Grounds.

"Alright, Xu brother, it's been a while since we last met. I'll treat you to a drink."

The Ziqing Holy Son nodded.

Indeed, arguing with a few little kids here was beneath their dignity.

"You're simply outrageous!"

Li Rulong's younger brother clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger, but to be honest, he was indeed inferior to the Holy Sons. If it weren't for relying on his brother, he would indeed be ordinary.

But it was precisely because of his brother that he had developed this kind of arrogant attitude.

Rather than saying that he had bad character, it would be more accurate to say that he was a true hothouse flower, a standard brain-dead villain. But considering his age, it was barely justifiable.

"Audacious!"

The Ziqing Holy Son directly looked over, his eyes blooming with divine light, staring at the other party, his expression extremely cold.

"This is Central State, I am the Ziqing Holy Son. You are from Eastern Earth. Even if you are a dragon, you have to coil for me. If you are a fierce tiger, you have to lie down for me. If your elder brother came, he could talk to us, but you? How dare you say 'audacious' to me?"

"You! Are you looking for death?"

The Ziqing Holy Son's attitude was extremely cold, and countless sword lights condensed around him, his aura terrifying.

He was a Holy Son!

Although he was not one of the top ten heavenly prides in the world, his identity was here.

This was Central State, not Eastern Earth.

Even if Li Rulong came, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, right?

In an instant, a terrifying sword energy permeated, and Li Rulong's younger brother felt a stinging pain all over his body. He dared not look directly at the other party, this was the suppression of realm and strength.

However, at this moment.

An indifferent voice slowly rang out.

"The Holy Son of Central State, what great holy might."

As the voice rang out, the Ziqing Holy Son and the Shumen Holy Son couldn't help but frown slightly.

Soon, a figure slowly appeared. The other party was wearing a white robe, looking very young, holding a Daoist book in his hand, looking calmly at the Ziqing Holy Son and the Shumen Holy Son.

"Zhang Yuanru?"

The Shumen Holy Son and the Ziqing Holy Son knew who the other party was in an instant.

One of the three supreme heavenly prides of Eastern Earth.

Zhang Yuanru.

The Daozi of the Wuji Dao Sect.

His strength was very terrifying.

Ranked in the top three in Eastern Earth, it was rumored that he cultivated the Wuji Dao Method to the eighty-first level. When he made a move, it was blessed with Dao intent, which was very terrifying.

In an instant, a gunpowder smell permeated.
