Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

「Two days later. Piaomiao Peak, Celestial Profound Mountain Domain.」

Piaomiao Peak was the tallest mountain in the outer reaches of the entire Celestial Profound Mountain Domain. Standing atop it, one felt as if they were amidst the clouds, with a clear view of everything within a hundred-mile radius.

On this day, the disciples gathered on Piaomiao Peak. With over three thousand present, almost every disciple had come. The bustling scene was a rare sight, unseen in many years.

The disciples from Luocheng Ancient Country gathered together. Aside from Bai Shishuang standing near the front, there was another man positioned at the very head of the group. This man had a hint of laziness in his eyes, his expression tinged with exhaustion.

Bai Shishuang looked at the lethargic man beside him and said with a smile, ”Brother Jin, your cultivation has advanced so much recently. Before, I could still vaguely sense it, but now I can’t perceive it at all.”

This weary man was the second-ranked expert among the Registered Disciples, Jin Ming.

Without even looking at Bai Shishuang, Jin Ming replied casually, ”Focus on your cultivation and don’t get involved in too many worldly affairs. You can do it too.”

Bai Shishuang gave a dry laugh and nodded, but inwardly he was cursing, ’He’s just an idiot who only knows how to cultivate. Sooner or later, he’ll die without even knowing how it happened.’

”If I hadn’t heard that Yu from the Dayan Dynasty was showing up, I would’ve been too lazy to come to this banquet,” Jin Ming muttered. He then listlessly leaned against a nearby stone pillar, closed his eyes, and completely disregarded his image.

Not far away, a man with shifty eyes and a pointy chin—the very picture of a monkey—whispered to an exceptionally handsome man beside him, ”Brother Tian, look at Jin Ming, still dead as ever. I wonder if his strength has broken through. I can’t see through him at all.”

This handsome man was the third-ranked expert from Jinfeng Ancient Country, Yingg Tian. Yingg Tian was famous not only for his strength but also for his looks. With a chiseled face, starry eyes, and heroic brows, he was extraordinarily handsome, causing thousands of female disciples in the Celestial Profound Sect to swoon.

Yingg Tian didn’t answer the man’s question, instead asking one of his own, ”Little Monkey, do you think I’m a match for Jin Ming?”

Little Monkey’s small eyes glanced at Jin Ming, who was still leaning against the pillar, and he shook his head. ”I don’t know. The Registered Disciples from Luocheng Ancient Country are basically all relying on him. His strength is terrifying.”

Yingg Tian smiled. ”This time, that might not be the case.”

”Oh?” Little Monkey looked at Yingg Tian curiously. A thought struck him. ’Could it be that Brother Tian’s cultivation has broken through again?’

”Brother Tian!” At that moment, Wei Shuang’Er slowly walked over to the group from Jinfeng Ancient Country, smiling.

Yingg Tian looked at Wei Shuang’Er, a natural smile touching his lips. ”Shuang’Er, you came too.”

Wei Shuang’Er pouted. ”I had to. So many people are here.”

Just then, for some reason, Yingg Tian’s gaze fell upon a woman in the distance. He stared, unblinking, as if mesmerized.

The woman wasn’t exceptionally beautiful. She wore a pale green dress, but her eyes were remarkably bright as she stood among the crowd from the Dayan Dynasty.

Seeing Yingg Tian’s captivated expression, Wei Shuang’Er pursed her lips and huffed, ”Guo Jie?”

This woman was the sixth-ranked expert on the Registered Disciples’ list, Guo Jie. Aside from Yu, she was the most respected figure among the Registered Disciples from the Dayan Dynasty. At this moment, she stood among her peers like the moon surrounded by stars.

Standing behind her was a simple and honest-looking young man who seemed a bit dense. This was Duan Hui, whose ranking was even higher than Guo Jie’s.

Guo Jie wasn’t strikingly beautiful, but as she stood there, she seemed to be the center of the Dayan Dynasty’s group, a presence no one could match.

Little Monkey scanned the crowd and frowned. ”Those people from the Celestial Star Ancient Country really are different. Not a single one of them has shown up yet.”

Wei Shuang’Er giggled. ”The people from the Celestial Star Ancient Country are always like that. Why bother with them? Actually, I’m more curious about the disciples from the Jade Maiden Sect.”

”Me too, me too!” Little Hou’s eyes seemed to glow with a green light as he listened.

”Hmph.” Wei Shuang’Er snorted coldly and shot Little Hou a glare, but he seemed completely unfazed.

On Piaomiao Peak, experts gathered like clouds. The top ten masters, whom most people wouldn’t see even once a month, were all appearing one after another in plain sight.

Countless Registered Disciples and servant disciples craned their necks, trying to get a better look.

At that very moment, several figures emerged from the clouds and mist in the distance.

In the lead were Qin Wuya and a stunningly beautiful woman—the Fourteenth Elder of the Jade Maiden Sect, Bu Yanting.

Following behind them were dozens of women in white, each as beautiful as a figure from a painting. With bright, captivating eyes and pearly teeth set against red lips, their beauty stirred the hearts of all who saw them.

Instantly, an irrepressible wave of gasps and exclamations swept across Piaomiao Peak.

Before their arrival, it seemed everyone could maintain a calm Heart Spirit, but at this moment, it felt as if they could no longer suppress it.

”Heavens, that woman in the lead is so beautiful!”

”Don’t block me, don’t block me!”

”The women of the Jade Maiden Sect truly are otherworldly beauties. The rumors weren’t false!”

...

Meanwhile, Wen Qingye was sitting on his bed, surrounded by eight Profound Pearls. They were placed in specific positions around him, and a careful look would reveal the subtle distinctions in their arrangement.

The eight Profound Pearls were situated in the eight trigram positions of Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, and Kan. A continuous stream of Primordial Qi Essence surged from them, rushing into Wen Qingye’s body.

Wen Qingye felt his mind grow hazy and closed off, forgetting everything. His body bore the impact of the immense Primordial Qi, which continuously nourished his frame, cleansing every bit of his flesh and bone.

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn went by. The Primordial Qi within the Profound Pearls continued to surge into Wen Qingye’s body, growing even more ferocious.

BOOM!

Wen Qingye’s mind suddenly became crystal clear, and his vision brightened.

Yin-Yang Realm Fifth Layer Heaven!

Wen Qingye slowly rose to his feet. His entire body had undergone another baptism, and he was now filled with an ultimate power. Wen Qingye believed that with his current cultivation, a single move would be enough to deal with Bai Shishuang.

”Brother Wen, are you there?”

Just then, Qiu Ming’s voice came from outside the door.

Wen Qingye opened the door and saw Qiu Ming and Zhou Yue. He asked in confusion, ”What’s up? Is something wrong?”

Qiu Ming’s eyes widened in astonishment. ”Brother Wen, were you just cultivating? Today is a huge day! The people from the Jade Maiden Sect have arrived at Piaomiao Peak. Aren’t you going to hurry over?”

Wen Qingye shook his head. ”I’m not interested in that. I think I’ll sit this one out.”

Zhou Yue pointed at the token on Wen Qingye’s waist. ”You’re in the top ten of the Registered Disciples now, one of the faces of the Celestial Profound Sect. It wouldn’t be right if you didn’t go. Besides, Martial Uncle Qin has already specifically called for it. All of the top ten Registered Disciples who are currently in the Celestial Profound Mountain Domain must attend the inspection. Not just you—even Yu has to go. Only Xue Feng and a few others from the Celestial Star Ancient Country can’t make it, since they’re in the Extreme North Wilderness searching for Imprisoning Sky Grass.”

”Yu?” Wen Qingye’s brow twitched when he heard Zhou Yue’s words.

Zhou Yue nodded. ”Yes. It’s said he just got back from Jiang’s Ancient Country. It took him a month, and he was even using a Low-Level Emperor Grade Flying Spiritual Artifact.”

”Jiang’s Ancient Country? Is that in Taiyi Pavilion’s territory?” Wen Qingye asked again.

Zhou Yue continued, ”That’s right. It’s an Ancient Country on the border between Taiyi Pavilion and the Daoist School of Non-action.”

”Alright, let’s go have a look then,” Wen Qingye said with a nod.

Seeing Wen Qingye agree, Qiu Ming, who was standing to the side, was overjoyed. ”Ha! I knew it! Brother Wen would never pass up this opportu—”

Just then, Zhou Yue shot him a cold glare. Qiu Ming’s voice died in his throat, and he shrank back, not saying another word.
