“I heard her talents surpass those of Jiang Yue Fairy, who is ranked thirty-first on the Qilin Ranking, which is why she replaced Jiang Yue Fairy to become the new Guanghan Holy Maiden.”
“So you’re saying she could make it into the top twenty of the Qilin Ranking?”
“Most likely. There’s even a chance she could break into the top ten.”
“There’s actually such a woman in the world with both intelligence and beauty.”
“This girl has the grace of the Taiyin Goddess of the past.”
“You talk as if you’ve seen the Taiyin Goddess yourself.”
“Cough cough, although I haven’t been fortunate enough to witness the Goddess’s elegance firsthand, I have certainly heard of it. It’s said that the Taiyin Goddess was stunningly beautiful and had unfathomable cultivation, one of the strongest beings in the ancient times.”
The cultivators whispered among themselves, but Xia Ningxue’s gaze fell upon Lu Changsheng, and she smiled radiantly like blossoming flowers, stunning those cultivators with less steadfast dao hearts.
Feng Mu’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that this Guanghan Holy Maiden, who was the focus of everyone’s attention, was actually a dao companion with the Tai Hua Holy Son?
Feng Mu clenched his fists.
Born with a golden key in his mouth, he came into the world as the legitimate eldest son of the ancient Feng Family, possessing a special physique and receiving the full cultivation support of the Feng Family. Even the Feng Family Ancestor personally tutored him in cultivation starting at the age of five, creating cultivation plans and spending countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to aid his Body Tempering.
All along the way, Feng Mu had always enjoyed the best resources, and there was nothing he wanted that he didn’t get.
But the appearance of an even more impressive figure at the Yaochi meeting instantly unsettled Feng Mu.
Before the Yaochi Saint Mother could speak, Feng Qing’er already responded with a cold frown, “Li Heng, aren’t you here to cause trouble at our Yaochi gathering?”
“My visit today is not for quarreling with you. The events of the past, let’s not speak of them. I have already let them go.”
Li Heng looked toward Feng Qing’er and her gaze lingered on Liu Mufeng for two seconds, her expression complex, her beautiful eyes still carrying a trace of resentment.
The one she yearned for in the past had now started a family and established his career.
Li Heng adjusted her emotions slightly and took out a Cold Jade Box enveloped in cold mist, “Here lies a top-quality Ice Toad, which I have raised for ninety-nine million years. It can swallow various deadly poisons. I am offering it to the Yaochi Saint Mother as a gesture to resolve the animosity between our two families.”
Gasps.
The crowd was astonished.
They thought that the Guanghan Palace Master had arrived with a group of experts to cause uproar at the Yaochi meeting, only to find that the Guanghan Palace Master appeared in person, intending to resolve the conflict with Yaochi from the past.
The Yaochi Saint Mother fell into silence, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest of her throne.
Although there was a generational difference between the Guanghan Palace Master and the Yaochi Saint Mother, the strength of their two Holy Lands was not considerably different, which meant that their statuses were equivalent.
For the Guanghan Palace Master to lower her pride and proactively show weakness in hopes of resolving the old grievances, it indeed caught the Yaochi Saint Mother off guard.
An elder from the Guanghan Palace ranks stood up, coughed lightly, and spoke to the Yaochi Saint Mother, “Back then, it was the rashness of us younger generations. A few of us old men heard that she had been bullied outside, so we barged into Yaochi, and since then our families have been at odds. Now that I think about it, they were just minor incidents. As times have changed, our two families should put aside past grudges. Little Feng, why not let bygones be bygones for the sake of this old man’s face.”
Little Feng?
The elder from Guanghan Palace directly calling the Yaochi Saint Mother, who had cultivated for eighty million years, Little Feng made all the cultivators present start in surprise.
This elder, he must certainly be an Ancestor-level figure from Guanghan Palace! Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire
The high standing of the Yaochi Saint Mother is only relative to the current cultivators in charge of various Holy Lands, Prestigious Families, and Sects.
Some Ancestor-level beings are formidable entities who have long ignored such positions of power, instead focusing exclusively on their personal cultivation, day and night, in pursuit of the realm of eternal life.
These Great Experts seldom appear before the world due to their detachment from worldly affairs.
When personalities like the Saint Lord Taishi and Lin Xuantong saw the elder from Guanghan Palace, they all showed deep respect.
An elder who sees the Yaochi Saint Mother as a junior likely has a cultivation period that might have reached a hundred million years, and his cultivation level is extremely terrifying.
However, Yaochi also has Ancestor-level Great Experts.
Furthermore, on the territory of Yaochi, wielding the plain-colored Cloud Realm flag in her hand, the Yaochi Saint Mother might not necessarily fear an elder of Ancestor level.
The Yaochi Holy Mother’s face shifted with indecision before she seemed to persuade herself, “Since Li Heng has requested your mediation, I shall consider her youthful ignorance. Please take a seat.”
At the command of the Yaochi Holy Mother, the Yaochi disciples immediately prepared seats for the arriving party from Guanghan Palace.
“Who did your master invite? Even the Yaochi Holy Mother is giving him so much face,” Lu Changsheng secretly transmitted his voice to Xia Ningxue.
Xia Ningxue was startled by Lu Changsheng’s sudden message.
There were many powerful beings here, and it was possible that some Great Expert might intercept the transmission.
The Divine Skills of Great Experts involved the Space-time Law, which was unfathomable.
Xia Ningxue cautiously responded, “This is one of the ancestors of our Guanghan Palace, the Li Family Ancestor, one of my master’s forebears, with an extremely high status.”
So it was the ancestor of Guanghan Palace Master Li Heng, no wonder the status was so high that even the Yaochi Holy Mother addressed the Li Family Ancestor with “you.”
Lacking the ability to sense how strong an ancestor-level Great Expert was, Lu Changsheng could not make it out at all; he hadn’t even seen such beings take action.
These people were usually as elusive as a dragon glimpsed only briefly.
Like several ancestors of the Tai Hua Holy Land, who stayed hidden behind the mountains of the Holy Land, immersed in cultivation and seldom involved in the affair of the Holy Land.
Lu Changsheng noticed that the Li Family Ancestor was still observing him from the shadows.
After all, he was Xia Ningxue’s Dao partner, and Xia Ningxue was very likely to succeed Li Heng in the future as the head of Guanghan Palace; naturally, the ancestors of Guanghan Palace would want to assess Lu Changsheng.
“Mu Feng, you were just sneaking glances at Li Heng for 0.75 seconds; don’t think that I didn’t notice,” Feng Qing’er glared coldly at Liu Mufeng.
Startled, Liu Mufeng’s hand trembled, causing his wine jug to wobble as he offered a wry smile, “My dear, she is an old acquaintance I haven’t seen in a long time. A glance is not excessive, is it? Besides, we have Yiyi together now; don’t you trust me?”
“Hmph, I forbid you to look at her, not even a glance,” Feng Qing’er said.
Feng Qing’er always harbored hostility toward Li Heng, because the two had a fierce fight when they were younger, which even degenerated into pulling each other’s hair.
Now that Guanghan Palace was reconciling with Yaochi, and their interactions would gradually become more frequent, who knew what could happen?
Liu Yiyi was speechless; how could her parents, at their age, still be jealous over things from their youth?
Liu Yiyi looked towards Dugu Aotian.
Thankfully, this fool was usually cold and practiced Demonic Cultivation Skills, so not many fairies dared to flirt with him. This meant she didn’t have to deal with competition.
The Yaochi Assembly had initially fallen quiet with the arrival of the people from Guanghan Palace, but after the reconciliation between the two parties, it was once again filled with laughter and joy.
After the wine had gone around three times, and the dishes tasted five flavors, all the immortals were intoxicated.
Loose Immortals were immune to mortal wine, but this time the Yaochi presented exquisite wines that ranked among Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; even Daluo Golden Immortals felt tipsy.
Feng Mu, the foremost talent of the Ancient Feng Family, saw Xia Ningxue’s slightly intoxicated rosy cheeks, and as she grew more charming and affectionate with Lu Changsheng, likely secretly communicating, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy.
He was the top talent of the Ancient Feng Family, ranked second on the Qilin Ranking, yet Xia Ningxue had completely ignored him.
Other disciples from Cultivator Clans and Holy Lands came to offer Feng Mu toasts, trying to gain favor with this unparalleled genius and the Feng Family behind him.
Without any surprises, Feng Mu was very likely to take control of the Ancient Feng Family, becoming the Family Head in millions of years.
To everyone’s surprise, Feng Mu pushed the flattering crowd aside and addressed Lu Changsheng, “Lu Changsheng, I’ve heard that you have risen to be a peerless talent recently. I wonder if you dare to spar with me to add some excitement to the Yaochi Assembly?”
Here it comes!
Taiyin Goddess of Taishi, Sword Immortal of Kunlun Yan Zhiqiu, Banished Sword Immortal of Primordial, Buddha Son Star King Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple… all the unparalleled geniuses present focused their attention on Feng Mu and Lu Changsheng.
When Lu Changsheng’s disciple, Dugu Aotian, defeated Feng Chen, they knew that a battle between these two was inevitable!
Now, Feng Mu had finally made the move to challenge Lu Changsheng, and everyone was eager to see if Lu Changsheng would accept the challenge.
