Chapter 55: Your Highness
"He really walked three hundred steps," Liao Xun let out a long sigh, and a hint of complex emotions gradually appeared in his deep eyes. "I vaguely remember that in the records of the Taiyu Holy Sect, the last creature that stepped on the three hundredth stone step was a white-tailed demon snake 7,800 years ago, even before I was born."
For the most powerful sects, such as the Taiyu Holy Sect, the passing of thousands of years were just akin to a blink of an eye. But for the vast majority of creatures with a lifespan of only a few hundred years, a thousand-year was a natural moat that could never be crossed.
Even the living beings in the True Dao Realm only had a lifespan of eight hundred years.
Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan, stepped forward, formed an incomparably complicated seal, and injected it into the light curtain around the Chaoxia Hall. Then, a deep voice entered the third level, "Ji Yuenian, in the Outer Sect, would you like to enter my Xingyuan Peak to cultivate? I can make a promise on behalf of the Li family in the Third Mountain range that I will do my best to foster you!"
Within the entire Luxia Mountains, countless discussions erupted.
Even before the assessment was over, Peak Master Xingyuan hurriedly threw an olive branch, which was enough to show the urgency in his heart.
Peak Master Guanxia, Ji Qiong, said with a smile, "Peak Master Xingyuan, the assessment is not over yet. Are you not a bit too impatient to act like this?"
Li Shixuan's eyes sank slightly, and he shook his head and said, "Peak Master Guanxia's words are wrong. Don't you realize that there are more than ten beams of light rushing towards the Luoxia Mountains while we speak?"
Ji Qiong felt a bit startled, and said, "Looking at this momentum, I am afraid that there is a great powerhouse at Divine Sea Realm coming, and there is more than one!"
Back at the stone steps.
Ji Yuenian stood on the 300th stone step and looked back.
Countless creatures who participated in the assessment raised their heads and looked up at him, their eyes filled with complex expressions of envy, admiration, jealousy, shock, and so on.
The spiritual bird's cries echoed in his ears, and the clouds gathered together to drowned everything above the Cloud Stone Steps.
When he opened his eyes again, Ji Yuenian reappeared on the nine suspended stone platforms in Luoxia Hall.
The nine stone platforms that were incomparably huge were sparsely populated, and the nearly 200,000 souls who participated in the assessment were decreased to a mere 20,000.
According to the regulations of the assessment, after all the creatures had finished climbing the Cloud Stone Steps, they would be swept into the Illusionary Realm by a treasure, and directly participate in the fourth level. But, now the fourth level was interrupted for some reason, making the remaining 20,000 living beings all reappear at the nine stone platforms.
In the Chaoxia Hall, more than ten rainbow lights came from the sky and landed in the luxurious Luanjia. There were also thousands of figures in the Luoxia Mountains that came out of their peaks one after another, heading towards the Luoxia Hall.
Hundreds of peak masters within the Outer Sect and most of the disciples of the Outer Sect gathered in the Luoxia Hall, but such a grand event was all due to one person.
"Senior brother, what's the matter? Why are so many peak masters who are rarely seen showing up and flocking to Tongming Peak together?"
A disciple of the Outer Sect who had just walked out of the Zongwu Hall on Shanwu Peak looked confused. He gazed at the dense figures in the sky, and grabbed another disciple of the Outer Sect, asking anxiously.
The disciple looked extremely excited, and said in a low voice, "Someone has walked through the 300th stone step! I heard that there are many big figures appearing from the main sect!"
After the words fell, he didn't even look back, and directly drove a magic lotus leaf together with a few other people, and flew towards Tongming Peak.
"Hey, hey, brother, wait for me!"
This disciple's cultivation base was low, and he was unable to use the flying magic weapon. At that time, he could only stand on the stone platform and look at the fleeting lotus leaf. In a moment, there was no one around him.
Even those "drivers" who earned spirit stones rushed to Tongming Peak to watch the fun, and it was a problem for him to even leave Shanwu Peak at this time.
...
"Ji Yuenian, you can also enter Tongming Peak to cultivate when you are in the Outer Sect. Tongming Peak never recruits disciples, but this time it can make an exception for you."
The voice of Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, was transmitted from a distance, which immediately caused a commotion among countless disciples.
"Peak Master Liao, I'm afraid your move is inappropriate?" Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan, looked a little worried. "I just made it clear that I would take him into Xingyuan Peak, but now you intertwine, what is the meaning of this?"
Liao Xun changed his attitude of not caring about world affairs, and said solemnly, "Peak Master Xingyuan did say it first, but Ji Yuenian did not agree to the proposition, did he?"
Li Shixuan snorted coldly, shook his white sleeve robe fiercely, turned his head towards Ji Yuenian and said, "Once you enter my Xingyuan Peak to cultivate, not only will you be able to use all resources to cultivate in the Luoxia Mountains of the Outer Sect, but after joining the main sect, the Li family of the Third Mountain range can also support you in cultivating the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline! Ask any peak masters here, ask them if they have the capability to cultivate the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline after leaving the Luoxia Mountains?"
As a person with a terrifying force behind him, Li Shixuan didn't care about the ugly scowls directed at him, and he didn't even save a shred of face for them.
"Am I qualified?"
The cool and pleasant voice reverberated, like the sound of nature, and it spread for thousands of miles.
There was a large sound from a certain direction in the sky, and the sound of clear chirping reverberated through heaven and earth. Nine colorful Luan birds followed in tow behind a snow-white Spirit Luan bird, and a fragrance filled the air. Hundreds of thousands of living beings in the Luoxia Mountains looked up in admiration.
[ED: Luan Bird--- <a class="chakra-link css-f4h6uy" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luan_(mythology)#:~:text=The%20luan%20%28%20simplified%20Chinese%3A%20%E9%B8%BE%3B%20traditional%20Chinese%3A,are%20called%20J%C4%ABnj%C4%AB%20%28%E9%87%91%E9%B6%8F%3B%20lit.%20golden%20chicken%20%29." index="0" siblingcount="1" node="[object Object]">Luan (mythology) - Wikipedia</a>]
There were countless silver-white rainbows swirling around the snow-white Luan bird. Nine beautiful girls in white stood on the colorful birds, and they slowly moved their hands in some hand seals, forming a white light that condensed at the central Luan bird, compelling the hanging bead curtain to gradually roll up.
A white and slender jade peeked out from the curtain, and the owner of the cold voice slowly revealed herself.
"What a nice view!"
A disciple in the upper realm of the Nascent Profound Realm raised his head and stared at the woman above the extreme sky, his eyes already a little dull.
"A celestial being!"
"Who is she!"
...
Peak Master Xingyuan, Li Shixuan was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he came to his senses, snorted softly, clasped his hands and said, "I have seen Your Highness, the Eclipse Moon."
"I have seen Your Highness, the Eclipse Moon."
"I have seen Your Highness, the Eclipse Moon!"
Countless salutes echoed.
Taiyu Holy Sect had Six Mountains and Three Realms. Within the six mountain ranges, there was a Holy Son or a Holy Daughter. Their status was extremely respected. Even a great powerhouse at the Divine Sea Realm would have to show some respect.
What was more, this Saintess, Eclipse Moon, had already cultivated up to the Divine Sea Realm.
"Although you are the most honored Saintness, to support a bloodline that can be compared with the Grade 3 Heart Fire Sequence, I'm afraid you do not have the qualifications."
Li Shixuan spoke quietly. Although he was polite, he never gave in.
After all, even Eclipse Moon herself was some with a superior bloodline, but with only a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence.
The Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence was already awesome, just like that monster girl Yu Yan.
It was just that Ji Yuenian's bloodline of Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline was too shocking to the world, which made the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence somewhat lose its sparkle under its shadow.
