Chapter 454 - Mount Wuyue Wind Cloud Meeting

Xiao Chen coughed and put his hands behind his back. He said, “Okay, I know. It’s getting dark, and you should all go back to rest earlier.”

Ziyun’er hid behind him, her hands resting on her lower abdomen. She lowered her head and dared not look at Qingluan, as if she had been discovered doing something wrong.

Qingluan said, “My Lord, please rest earlier. I’ll leave now.” After speaking, she looked at Ziyun’er, who was hiding behind Xiao Chen, and said, “You’re still not leaving?”

“Oh…” Ziyun’er murmured, gently leaped, and flew down the pavilion.

The next day in the early morning, the valley was sunny. Only Xiao Chen and his company and Gui Xian were going to Mount Wuyue this time; Liu Liancheng was not going with them. When they reached the valley entrance, Gui Xian turned and looked at him, and said, “Go back.”

Liu Liancheng smiled while he bowed and said, “Yes, Master.”

After he walked away, Gui Xian put on the bucket hat again. This time, he was still the soul itself. He did not have a temporary Spirit Possession. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Let’s go.”

At the end of the conversation, the four of them flew into the sky on their swords. Mount Wuyue was in the northern realm of the Middle Continent. The terrain was steep. There were five main peaks—East Peak, West Peak, South Peak, North Peak, and Central Peak. The peaks towered up into the clouds. Looking from a distance, it looked like five giant swords protruding from the flat ground, pointing directly at the sky, as if they were going to break through the clouds.

Every hundred years, cultivators from around the world would gather on Mount Wuyue to launch the Wuyue Sword conversation that was held every 100 years, also known as Wuyue Arena Wind Cloud Meeting. Last time, Jade Qing Seven had inspired awe throughout the world here. At that time, Qing Chen Perfected Immortal was still not called Qing Chen Perfected Immortal, he was called Qing Chen Zi. But with the move Dance of the Arcing Rainbow, the cultivators of the world were shocked, and no one could outshine him.

A hundred years passed in a blink of an eye; the green mountains were still there and the sunset was still red. The characters from the year were old, but with the advent of The Annihilation Times, countless outstanding people had risen in the younger generation.

So countless cultivators arrived at Mount Wuyue this time, from east to west and north to south. Xiao Chen and the other three people took the Flying-cloud Stone for two days and arrived. It was the early morning of August 15th. One after another rushed to Central Peak.

The hills were lush with greenery and strange stones, and at the foothills, it was steaming with summer humidity, but it was quite cool when they arrived on the mountain. The remaining 10 people of Levitating Dark Fragrance had also received the message from Qingluan and had been waiting here.

The group walked for half an hour, but still did not reach the mid-mountainside, they were already surrounded by clouds and mist in the mountains, and the air became slightly humid. Xiao Chen saw some familiar people along the way, such as Xiaoyue, Zuoqiu Yang, and so on.

“Hehe, have Brother Xiao Ning and Senior Gu Feng arrived now?” Ziyun’er said suddenly, which brought Xiao Chen’s attention back.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “It must be that we’re early, otherwise Mount Wuyue would not be so calm at this moment.” As he spoke, in a glance, he suddenly saw a familiar person in the distance. The man saw him as well, and after a quick glance, he turned his eyes away.

“Lingjiao, do you know that person?”

That person was Chu Lingjiao, who wore a light-purple dress, a gold silk pearl hairpin in her hair, and a jade pendant on her waist. She was heavily accessorized with jades and pearls, which was extravagant and luxurious. She also looked a lot more charming than before. At her side was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

The man was in a luxurious robe as well; he followed her gaze and looked at Xiao Chen. At this moment, the two were separated by dozens of feet, and Xiao Chen felt a little suffocated. Entering the third level of the Nirvana Realm, he could be regarded as being one of the top few young people in the Five Continents. “But who is this man? His cultivation does not seem to be lower than mine.”

The man also only took one glance at him and then looked back as if there was nothing there and continued with Chu Lingjiao up the mountainside.

“That person is called Mo Jinyan,” Gui Xian suddenly said in a deep voice.

“Mo Jinyan?” Xiao Chen frowned; he had never heard of this figure before. Gui Xian said, “One of the most outstanding young men in the Mo family .”

“From the Mo family, huh…”

Gui Xian nodded and continued, “You haven’t been outside for more than a year, so you may not know about it. For more than a year, the Mo family has become famous. Everyone knows about the family. This Mo Jinyan is young and has already reached the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm, which has made countless older people feel ashamed. This time, they should have come to boost their reputation.”

Xiao Chen squeezed his fingers. Before, he thought that people like Mo Wen and Mo Yu were already the outstanding young people of the Mo family. He did not think that there were such powerful people beside them; just the cultivation level itself was already on par with his.

Gui Xian said, “The Mo family is a self-proclaimed ancient Heaven-exterminating family and consider themselves above the current top 10 Violet Manor family, but their strength is indeed not be underestimated. It is possible that in their mystic domain, there’s an Earth Immortal in command.”

“Earth immortal?” Xiao Chen frowned, inexplicably thinking of the Guming old man mentioned by Mo Yu.

Gui Xian nodded and said, “After the Grand Completion Realm, one has to go through Survive the Ordeal to ascend, and if Survive the Ordeal is successful, one will enter the Heaven Realm and become a true immortal. If they fail Survive the Ordeal, one will be reduced to a Human Realm Rogue Immortal. Normally, they will be unable to cultivate to become an Immortal, but when some Rogue Immortal encounters an opportunity, he can become an Earth Immortal. He is still a true immortal, just that he can’t live in the Heaven Realm, but his strength is beyond doubt, far stronger than an immortal who had just entered the Heaven Realm.”

Xiao Chen nodded to say that the strength of this Mo family was indeed much stronger than the forces of the Ling Family and Order of the Divine Fire. They were not as they were before and could be a great enemy of his in the future.

Gui Xian said, “Boy, I advise you to not provoke the Mo family for the time being. Your strength is far from sufficient.”

During the conversation between the group, they had reached the mountainside of Central Peak, where the terrain was flat and open, surrounded by the clouds and mist on the mountain, and the temperature had dropped a lot, just like summer changing into cold autumn. Looking around, the were people everywhere. The place was densely packed, with younger juniors, Cultivators’ sect seniors, and even independent cultivators from all over the world.

“My Lord, let’s rest for a while before we continue,” Ziyun’er went up to Xiao Chen and whispered.

Xiao Chen nodded. It was not yet noon, so presumably, Brother Xiao Ning had not arrived yet. He walked over to a large stone not far away, flicked his sleeves, and swept away the fallen leaves on them. He turned to Gui Xian and said, “Senior, please sit down.”

Gui Xian nodded and sat down with him. The 12 people of Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon stood beside the two and guarded. Xiaoyue frowned slightly in the distance, but she could not figure out why he looked fine and even had a great increase in skills when in a month of ago he was so weak. “Is it because of the old man in the cape beside him?”

There, Xiao Chen chatted with Gui Xian carefree and did not focus on Xiaoyue. After a while, Xiaoyue walked over. Qingluan and Ziyun’er stopped her immediately. “Stop!”

Xiao Chen looked up, glanced at Xiaoyue’s face, and said lightly, “Fairy Xiaoyue.”

“Brother Xiao, we meet again,” Xiaoyue said with a smile on her face. She did not seem surprised, but she was a little shocked in her heart. Earlier, she was far away, so she was not sure about Xiao Chen’s cultivation. However, at this moment, she really felt the cultivation level of Xiao Chen.

At this time, Qingluan and Ziyun’er also gave way, so Xiaoyue stepped closer and shifted her gaze from Xiao Chen to Gui Xian next to him. She cupper her fist and asked, “May I know how to address Senior?”

Gui Xian looked up at her and said in a husky voice, “Calling me Senior is too much. I don’t have a name. I’m just someone ordinary.”

Xiaoyue smiled and turned her attention back to Xiao Chen and said, “Brother Xiao is also here for the Wuyue Emperors?”

Wuyue Emperors, that was a saying from a long time ago. Now it had become the formulae to participate in the Wuyue Sword Conversation. Among them, the Wuyue Emperors referred to Emperor Dongyue, Emperor Xiyue, Emperor Nanyue, Emperor Beiyue, and Emperor Zhongyue. This was referring to the top men in Violet Manor and not the Wuyue Emperors in the myth.

The last Wuyue Emperors battle was thousands of years ago. Xiao Ning was Emperor Dongyue, Gu Feng was Emperor Beiyue, and now Violet Manor was no longer engaged in the emperors battle. There was no such thing as the Great Wuyue Emperors anymore, but people learned a lot from ancient records, so they still knew a little.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “I’m in no position for that. It was just for an appointment with a friend.”

As soon as the words fell, a noise was heard in the distance. Looking up, many people had gathered around a young man in a luxurious robe, and the young man was exactly Mo Jinyan, whom Xiao Chen had seen earlier.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Congratulations to Young Master Mo for getting to a higher level in your cultivation!”

“Young Master Mo is the top young man in the Five Continents. Congratulations!”

At this moment, the people greeting around Mo Jinyan were all old Cultivators’ sect seniors. Those juniors were not even qualified to speak with Mo Jinyan, and although some of the older generation’s cultivation was higher than Mo Jinyan’s, they had to speak respectfully. Because in the past more than a year, the reputation of the Mo family had been greatly boosted, especially with those Ancient Immortal Clan exercises that they had never seen before, which made many of the sects wary of them.

“You guys, I haven’t seen you in a long time.” Mo Jinyan had a slight smile on his face, but he only greeted these people symbolically. Because in his eyes, these people were simply insignificant. He felt that with his intelligence, he would quickly surpass these so-called Cultivators’ sect predecessors and become the top powerhouse of Violet Manor in one fell swoop.

Chu Lingjiao on the side was charming and seductive as she smiled and said, “Jinyan, let’s go up, and by noon, the two seniors from thousands of years ago should be here.”

Mo Jinyan nodded, then bowed to the people around and walked in the direction of the top of the mountain, where Xiao Chen and company happened to be.

At this moment in the distance, there were also several white-bearded old men with fluttering sleeves watching them. One man combed his beard and said, “Sitting over there is Xiao Chen, who became famous last year. Who do you say is better? Jinyan or Xiao Chen?”

Another person smiled and said, “The younger generation’s abilities must be respected, even though they’re inexperienced. Both of them have entered the Nirvana Realm. It is difficult to say, but in my opinion, it should be that Mo Jinyan is slightly better. In regards to the family background, it’s nothing Xiao Chen can compare to.”

On the side of the mountain road, Mo Jinyan and Chu Lingjiao had walked over. Xiao Chen’s eyes paused for a short moment on Chu Lingjiao’s face. He frowned and thought, “This Chu woman seems to have an old account with Xin’er, but now she has found a supporter with such a great background. Xin’er would now not be able to win a fight with her anymore.”

Suddenly, Mo Jinyan stopped and turned to look at Xiao Chen. The 12 people of Levitating Dark Fragrance immediately became vigilant. Xiao Chen also frowned and met his gaze firmly.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly quieted down, and everyone’s eyes stayed on these two.
