On the peak, one person sat cross-legged, his eyes suddenly opening.
"These people have actually come to the place where earth light first appears. Is it a coincidence?"
Ye Yun sensed many warships and rogue cultivators of immense power gathering around the peak of earth light, making him wary.
"Could they also be here for the Hunyuan Kun Steel?"
Ye Yun could not ascertain their purpose for now, but their arrival confirmed that it was related to the peak of earth light.
"Disciples, return."
Ye Yun sent out a divine power summons, and the disciples heard his voice.
"Master, we are cultivating. Why are you calling us back?"
"Yes, Master. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is extremely dense!"
"Alright, alright, as if I don't know. You girls are treating this place like a tourist attraction, aren't you? You're all so happy."
"Master, you were peeking at us?"
The disciples were all a little flustered.
"Within my Futian formation, do I need to peek? Your every move is within my grasp."
"Hmph, Master is bullying us."
"Master is too powerful. We didn't notice anything at all. Honestly."
"Forget it, Junior Sisters, come back with me. Master must have a reason for calling us back."
Lin Xueyan, being the most composed, called her junior sisters back.
"Considering the countdown, we won't bother Master about this."
"Right, let's go."
The disciples found a way to save face, and Ye Yun smiled and shook his head, noting that these girls were becoming more independent.
Upon returning to the peak where Ye Yun was, the disciples gathered around him.
"Master, why won't you let us play a little longer?"
"It's not that I'm disturbing you, but a large number of powerful individuals have arrived."
"Ah?"
The disciples looked surprised, and then Ye Yun waved his hand, and the Tianhuang Mirror projected a screen.
On this screen, warships from the Canggu Domain, the Shenghuang Domain, and other rogue cultivator forces appeared.
"Such grand warships. Why are these people here as well? Could they also be looking for Kun Steel?"
"Master, should we quickly find the Kun Steel and leave?"
Listening to her disciples' words, Ye Yun slightly shook his head.
"The emergence of the Hunyuan Kun Steel requires the convergence of three lights. Only the earth light has appeared, and we are still missing the heavenly light and human light. Without one, it's impossible."
"This... is really troublesome."
The disciples' moods were clearly affected. They had all hoped to find the Kun Steel quickly and then perhaps have a good tour of Xuan'ao Mountain, enjoying the scenery while seeking opportunities. That would have been delightful.
Now, the Kun Steel hadn't appeared, but quite a number of people from the Nine-Level Great Worlds had arrived.
"Rumble!"
Above the void, rumbling sounds could be heard incessantly as warships from various Nine-Level Great Worlds descended.
"The earth light has appeared. You've arrived quite promptly."
On the Shenghuang warship, Jin Wuzhu shouted to the crowd.
Cang Yun did not respond, but many people from the surrounding rogue cultivator forces stepped forward.
"Hahaha, it is truly an honor to see Your Highnesses from two Nine-Level Great Worlds here."
"Indeed. Following Prince Cangyun here has indeed brought rewards. This is where the earth light has first appeared."
"Three lights converge, Xuan'ao erupts; a peerless grand ceremony, treasures emerge in abundance! I never expected this legendary prophecy to be true."
Many rogue cultivator powerhouses showed excited expressions. Although they lacked the foundation of the Nine-Level Great Worlds, they felt it was worthwhile to witness the Xuan'ao eruption ceremony this time.
"What a bunch of idiots. Do you really think you can witness the eruption ceremony just by coming here? The ceremony will only begin when the three lights of heaven, earth, and man appear. Do you have the qualifications to participate?"
On the deck of the Shenghuang warship, Jin Wuzhu's face showed disdain. In his opinion, these rogue cultivators, though not lacking in genius and power, were still no match for those from their Nine-Level Great Worlds.
"Whether we have the qualifications might not be decided by Your Highness, but by fate."
"We rogue cultivators naturally dare not contend with Your Highness. We are merely here to watch. Is that not allowed?"
"Besides, not only the Shenghuang Domain is here among the Nine-Level Great Worlds. Can Your Highness truly control everything?"
The rogue cultivator groups, while appearing respectful, were subtly mocking Jin Wuzhu.
"You wretches!"
Jin Wuzhu glared angrily at those people. An elder behind him stepped forward and signaled him.
"Your Highness, it is likely that not only the Canggu Domain is here among the Nine-Level Great Worlds. We should not act rashly."
"What? Who else?"
"For such a grand ceremony, would the Shenqiong Domain not appear?"
"Hmm..."
Jin Wuzhu frowned slightly. If the Shenqiong Domain were indeed present, even he would have to be cautious.
Seeing that Jin Wuzhu did not respond forcefully, the rogue cultivator groups showed a smug look.
"It seems these Nine-Level Great Worlds are nothing special."
"These Highnesses deem our lives too cheap. They look down on us."
"Heh heh, so what if they look down on us? Do they really think this Xuan'ao Mountain is their territory? This is the Land of Chaos, where the rules of the universe are mysterious and unpredictable. Even the God of Creation would not dare to act presumptuously here."
The constant mockery enraged Jin Wuzhu, but for the sake of the bigger picture, he did not explode directly.
He had already marked those who angered him and would surely kill them at the first opportunity.
"How dare you wretches speak ill of the Nine-Level Great Worlds!"
Just as the rogue cultivator group was gaining the upper hand and mocking Jin Wuzhu, a cold voice suddenly came from above the void.
Following that, a stream of cold water transformed into countless water blades, descending instantly.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Where the water blades passed, nothing remained untouched.
Those who had been mocking moments ago instantly sensed a threat to their lives.
"Not good!"
"Ah!"
Though they realized it, it was too late. The water blades struck, and even Heavenly God-level experts' bodies instantly froze before exploding into pieces.
"Who?!"
Everyone trembled and looked up at the void.
The expert from the Shenqiong Domain, ranked first among the Nine-Level Great Worlds, had arrived.
"It's Your Highness Shui Hua from the Shenqiong Domain!"
"The Shenqiong Domain, ranked first among the Great Worlds, they have actually come."
"Too powerful!"
Many rogue cultivator powerhouses looked on in terror. Even with their limited knowledge, they knew the might of the Shenqiong Domain.
They were the rulers who governed all the heavens and myriad worlds.
"This is going to be lively."
Ye Yun and his group, mingling with the rogue cultivators, looked up at the void. A white, graceful figure descended, riding an ice sword. It was Shui Hua.
"The Nine-Level Great Worlds are the rulers of the Great Thousand Worlds. You have no right to mock them!"
Shui Hua's words reached everyone's ears, and the rogue cultivator groups dared not speak further.
"Your Highness Shui Hua, I am Jin Wuzhu of the Shenghuang Domain. Your Highness has brought glory to the Nine-Level Great Worlds this time."
Jin Wuzhu smiled as he looked at Shui Hua, hoping to gain her attention. However, to his surprise, she completely ignored him!
