The Star Pavilion moved swiftly. Before long, they had selected a suitable group of disciples. There were not many, only about a dozen, led by an extraordinary 18-year-old prodigy nad Tian Xing.
His cultivation had reached the level of a Seven-Star Martial General. Besides him, the others were all Six-Star Martial Generals, with the weakest being a Five-Star Martial General. Those with lower cultivation levels were not chosen, as they would be useless and only face grave danger. After all, while these ancient secret realms held Treasures of Heaven and Earth and Cultivation Technique legacies, they were also fraught with crises like Puppet Arrays and Guardian Beasts. Every ti a secret realm opened, many Martial Artists would perish within it.
Therefore, this ti the Star Pavilion dispatched only its top geniuses.
Besides the Star Pavilion, the Tianyang Pavilion and the Purple Mist Pavilion were also gathering their top talents. The Wangyue Pavilion was no exception.
Once these geniuses were selected, they boarded war chariots and began their journey to the Tianling Secret Realm.
Tian Xing said to the Star Pavilion Master, "Master, rest assured. This ti, I will definitely defeat that Lin Xuan."
The Pavilion Master, however, just smiled. "There’s no need to bother with that boy. He’s already dead."
"What? Lin Xuan is dead!" Tian Xing was stunned. "How did he die?"
The Star Pavilion Master shook his head. "It’s not worth ntioning. Don’t pay him any mind. Once you’re inside, focus on collecting as many Celestial Spirit Fruits as possible. They are invaluable treasures."
"I understand," Tian Xing nodded, then stepped into the war chariot. One by one, the war chariots soared into the sky and flew into the distance.
In addition to the Heavenly Dao Institute, other clans and sects in the Great Xia Country were also on the move. The Institute cared little for ordinary factions, but so possessed strength that was not inferior to its own. This included powers like the Four Great Sects and the Three Great Families. These were all extrely prominent forces. Furthermore, there were several princely mansions, and it was said that the Celestial King’s Mansion had also dispatched its masters. Of course, mbers of the royal family were coming as well.
It could be said that this ti, all the top geniuses under the age of eighteen from the Great Xia Country would be in attendance.
Amidst a vast expanse of mountains, a particular mountain range stood out. At this mont, the range cracked open, revealing ancient ruins from which a golden pillar of light shot up, connecting heaven and earth. This was the entrance to the Tianling Secret Realm.
Many Martial Artists were already gathered at the entrance, hovering nearby and waiting. The sky echoed with frequent rumbles as war chariots landed and Spirit Boats flew past, while various flying mounts circled overhead. The crowd grew larger and larger, all waiting for the secret realm to open. According to their estimates, the Tianling Secret Realm would open completely within three to five days, at which point they would be able to enter.
As the crowd was waiting and discussing, a roar suddenly erupted from the distance. The entire sky was dyed red, transforming into a sea of fire. The scorching aura made everyone’s body tremble.
"Heavens, what terrifying flas! Which esteed expert is arriving?"
"That must be the Ten Thousand Flas Sect! Only they possess such frightening flas."
"The Ten Thousand Flas Sect is one of the Four Great Sects! I wonder how many of their geniuses have co this ti?"
Amidst the crowd’s shocked discussions, a fla chariot tore through the void and rapidly descended. From it, a dozen or so figures erged. Walking at the forefront was a tall, slender woman in a fiery gown that accentuated her captivating figure. The sight left many speechless.
Soone recognized her and exclaid, "Fire Dance! That’s the top genius from the Ten Thousand Flas Sect, Fire Dance!"
Following behind Fire Dance was a young man clad in a Fla Battle Robe. He wore a cold smile, and flas flickered within his eyes.
Seeing him, the crowd cried out again, "Fire Lingzi! Another top genius!"
"It’s said he’s only seventeen, but he’s already a Six-Star Martial General! His future is boundless!"
The mbers of the Ten Thousand Flas Sect arrived and occupied a strategic position.
Not long after, another rumbling sound filled the sky as enormous Flying Swords tore through the void. Everyone looked up and exclaid, "Sword Flight Immortals!"
"It’s people from the Celestial Sword Sect!"
This was another of the Four Great Sects. It was a Sword Dao sect, and all its mbers were swordsn who practiced swordsmanship. Soon, the Flying Swords descended from the sky, and figures disembarked one by one.
Leading the group was a young man with white robes and white hair, carrying a Black Sword on his back. He was the picture of elegance.
The crowd gasped in recognition. "Sword Dust!"
"He’s a top genius of the Celestial Sword Sect!"
"Eighteen years old and already a Seven-Star Martial General!"
The crowd was stunned once more. They could feel an incredibly sharp aura emanating from Sword Dust, as if he were a Divine Sword that, once unsheathed, would shake the heavens and the earth.
Before long, people from the Beiming Sect also arrived, led by a young man in a black robe nad Beiming. A chilling aura surrounded him, and he too was a Seven-Star Martial General.
Another powerful sect, the Mad Blade Sect, made its appearance. Their leader was a tall, powerfully built young man with a giant blade strapped to his back. With every step he took, he left deep footprints in his wake, as if the very ground would shatter beneath his feet. He was the Mad Blade Sect’s peerless prodigy, One Blade. It was said he was so formidable that no one could withstand a single one of his moves, which was how he earned his na.
Hearing this, the onlookers gasped.
Besides the Four Great Sects, the Three Great Families also arrived. They were the Yan Family, the Ouyang Family, and the Du Family. These three families possessed an ancient heritage and profound foundations. Each sent their own top-tier prodigies: Yan Wushuang, Ouyang Jie, and Du Fei.
The arrival of each genius drew cries of astonishnt from the crowd.
Just then, soone shouted excitedly, "The people from the Heavenly Dao Institute are here!"
Countless heads turned to look. In the distance, a fleet of war chariots was rapidly approaching. Disciples from the Star Pavilion, Wangyue Pavilion, Tianyang Pavilion, and Purple Mist Pavilion arrived one after another. Their leaders were all powerful Seven-Star Martial Generals.
The crowd buzzed with excitent again. Although the Heavenly Dao Institute was an academy, it gathered geniuses from all the various clans of the Great Xia Dynasty, making it an exceptionally formidable power.
The Star Pavilion’s group was led by Tian Xing. Upon arrival, he scanned his surroundings and noted the other Seven-Star Martial Generals. A sharp, competitive glint flashed in his eyes. These would be his future opponents.
The people from the Wangyue Pavilion also arrived. Their gazes swept across the crowd, seemingly searching for soone. A disciple spoke up, "I don’t see Lin Xuan. He hasn’t arrived yet, has he?"
"The Pavilion Master already notified him. He should be on his way. Let’s just wait."
So they began to wait. More families and sects continued to arrive, but none were as grand or as shocking as the Four Great Sects and the Three Great Families.
After half a day, another powerful family arrived. This ti, it was people from the Celestial King’s Mansion. The Celestial King’s Mansion was a colossal power of imnse strength. The Prince of the mansion was known as the Celestial King, a top-tier existence among Kings. In terms of combat strength, there were hardly any who could rival him. Even the Sect Leaders of the Four Great Sects and the Clan Leaders of the Three Great Families were slightly inferior. Only the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Institute could match him, and beyond that, only the ancestors of the royal family could suppress him.
The one who had co from the Celestial King’s Mansion this ti was none other than the Young Prince. He was a handso young man holding a folding fan, appearing both elegant and unrestrained. The crowd turned to look, but in the next mont, gasps of shock rippled through them. They couldn’t see through his cultivation level at all. It was incredible. This Young Prince was truly mysterious.
After him, a few more people arrived. Among them was a person of extraordinarily high status: the Imperial Princess.
The crowd was in an uproar. Had the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty truly sent soone?
Soone comnted, "It looks like all the top geniuses under eighteen in the Great Xia Country have arrived, right?"
"I wonder who among them is the strongest?"
So said it was Sword Dust, while others argued for the Young Prince.
But a disciple from the Wangyue Pavilion interjected, "No, there’s still soone missing. Our Wangyue Pavilion’s Lin Xuan hasn’t arrived yet."
"Lin Xuan!"
Upon hearing the na, a buzz of discussion started. "That na sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?"
"I know! The winner of the alchemy competition! The one called the Young Pill King is nad Lin Xuan!"
"He’s coming this ti too?"
"A top-tier Pill Master? That’s a peerless prodigy in its own right!" the crowd discussed fervently.
Tian Xing, however, rely sneered. He knew it was impossible for Lin Xuan to co, because he had already gone to hell.
