Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Gathering of the Arrogant Imperial Sons in Kunlun (First Update)
Wu Bucheng looked on and couldn’t help but show a hint of pride.
This Fei Bai is the next generation prodigy cultivated by the Sword Control Mountain Villa for many years!
Among the various sects in the Immortal Realm of Kunlun, there can be countless true disciples, but there can only be one prodigy!
To become a prodigy signifies that you will be the most powerful disciple of the sect.
All resources will be skewed towards you.
This has also made it a synonym for unparalleled strength among the new generation of masters!
“For this trip to the main city of Kunlun for the trial, you should accompany Fei Bai! Take a look at this newly emerged Sword Cultivator and see what he’s all about!”
“Yes!” Moonlight Sword Honor bowed in response and slowly retreated from Ting Jian Pavilion.
Behind Sword Control Mountain Villa, the Sword Waterfall.
A waterfall like the sword of the ninth heaven roared down, smashing the ground into a bottomless pit.
Hence, it was named the Sword Waterfall.
At this moment, Moonlight Sword Honor walked up to the Sword Waterfall, only to see someone standing in the bone-chillingly cold Sword Pond, facing the waterfall descending from the sky, swinging the sword over and over.
With every swing, a portion of the falling water of the Sword Waterfall was repelled upwards.
After a short while, the entire massive waterfall was blasted back upward, sword by sword.
Then it fell again and was blasted back up by the Sword Qi…
Such perseverance and determination left Moonlight Sword Honor greatly impressed.
“Fei Bai!” Moonlight Sword Honor called out from the edge of the pond.
Fei Bai glanced over, withdrew his sword, and flew out of the Sword Pond to the bank.
Boom!
The Sword Waterfall, having been bombarded by the Sword Qi for who knows how long, fell furiously as if venting its anger, splashing the water of the Sword Pond far away.
“Uncle Moonlight, what do you need?” Fei Bai spoke with an icy presence, like a sword itself.
“The Sect Leader has commanded that I join you to Kunlun City for the trial!”
“Not going!” Fei Bai said coldly.
“Why not?”
“It’s the same people every year, boring!”
Moonlight Sword Honor heard this and couldn’t help but smile wryly, then said, “This year is different. There’s a newly emerged Sword Cultivator who has slashed down an entire city with a single stroke!”
“Oh?” Hearing this, a light appeared in Fei Bai’s eyes.
“He will also appear in this trial!”
“Fine, I’ll go!” Fei Bai dropped this cold remark and turned to leave.
As he walked, he limped, revealing a disability.
Moonlight Sword Honor shook his head.
Ever since the Sect Leader brought back this young man, who was nearly frozen to death, from the icy snowfields more than a decade ago.
The progress of his Sword Dao had shattered everyone’s expectations.
The only flaw was his disability.
Yet, it was this very flaw that Fei Bai had turned into a unique advantage through arduous training.
Anyone who dared to underestimate him because of his disability would ultimately suffer the consequences.
In the Western Regions of Kunlun, Ah Han Palace.
A monk, handsome and dressed in white, stood atop the mountaintop.
As the fierce wind howled, he fingered his prayer beads in silence.
Suddenly, a massive Divine Eagle flew from afar.
The monk lifted his feet into the void, and in a few steps, he ascended onto the back of the Divine Eagle.
The Divine Eagle let out a long cry and turned into a streak of light, flying away.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of little monks watched the sky with admiring faces.
“Has Brother now attained the level of a Bodhisattva?”
“I think Brother has become a Buddha!”
In the eyes of these little monks, their Brother was an invincible existence in the world.
Because he was the current prodigy of Ah Han Palace, Miyoi!
Night Demon Valley.
Fairy Thousand Snow and the Night Devil Empress were chatting leisurely when suddenly, a beam of golden light shot skywards from behind the mountain.
Both of them had looks of joy on their faces, and in an instant, they appeared atop the back mountain.
Cheng Lusheng from Thousand Snow Sect was seen walking out of the Divine Demon Trial Ground first, his aura so tangible it was startling.
“It’s actually Half-step Longevity!” Fairy Thousand Snow exclaimed with thrill.
Cheng Lusheng bowed respectfully, “Yes! Disciple has broken through and ascended into the ranks of Half-step Longevity!”
“Good! Good!” Fairy Thousand Snow was overjoyed.
At this moment, Nangong Wushuang from Night Demon Valley also came out, also a Half-step Longevity!
Naturally, the Night Devil Empress was extremely pleased as well.
As long as their disciples performed well at the trial conference, they would gain a significant advantage in the resource distribution for the next year.
The two were, of course, thrilled beyond measure.
Similar scenes were unfolding among the major sects of Kunlun.
Many proud talents began to make their way to the main city.
And in Kunlun City, at its center, stood a lofty palace soaring into the clouds.
The residents of the main city, when they looked at this palace, their faces showed awe and reverence.
Because that was the dwelling place of the Immortal Palace.
At this moment, within the Immortal Palace.
Imperial Son Haoyu Huang was sitting cross-legged in a meditation room.
Suddenly.
He opened his eyes, and eerily, one eye was black while the other white, with flickering lightning within them.
Then with a raise of his hand, a bolt of divine lightning descended from the heavens, landing in his palm.
“Congratulations to the Imperial Son for his grand attainment of the Divine Skill!”
Several disciples of the Immortal Palace kneeled down one after another.
Haoyu Huang, with an indifferent face resembling the sovereign of the nine heavens, calmly said, “I shall participate in this trial conference!”
“Yes!”
In less than half a day.
News that the Imperial Son Haoyu Huang had come out of seclusion and would participate in the trial spread far and wide.
Everyone was terrified.
Especially those who were confident and prepared to take first place in this trial, they all became gravely solemn.
Because in the whole of Kunlun, there could be countless talents, but there could only be one Imperial Son!
That was the supreme figure nurtured by the Immortal Palace!
He alone could dominate all the young experts of the age and was fitting to be called the Imperial Son.
At this time, Xue An and Zhu Ruyan had already entered Kunlun City.
The wide streets and bustling cityscape gave the main city a distinct character.
Xue An stood on the main street, and in just a moment, he saw several Heavenly Human Realms, and even Loose Immortals, roaming the streets.
But Xue An was always looking at the lofty Immortal Palace in the distance, his eyes flickering, contemplating something unknown.
“My Lord, one of my senior sisters is currently in Kunlun City, we could stay there!” Zhu Ruyan suggested.
Xue An nodded noncommittally and followed Zhu Ruyan to a street in the city.
While it wasn’t as spacious as the main street, it was bustling enough.
And on the street corner stood a clinic.
Ji Shi Tang!
However, at this moment, the door to the clinic was tightly closed.
Zhu Ruyan stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, a voice tinged with surprise came from inside.
“Who is it?”
“Senior sister, it’s me!” Zhu Ruyan said.
The door cracked open, revealing a woman with a transcendent appearance. Recognizing Zhu Ruyan, she first paused, then hurriedly opened the door to let her in.
“Ruyan? When did you return to Kunlun?”
“Just got back!”
At this moment, Zhu Ruyan’s senior sister Lu Xunxue also noticed Xue An standing to one side and couldn’t help but be hesitant.
“This is…”
“Senior sister Xunxue, this is my Lord, we’ve come back to Kunlun City to seek revenge for me!” Zhu Ruyan proudly stated.
