Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The Huaqing Tong requires forty-nine days of nurturing before its sealed state can be removed.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing was not anxious; instead, he focused all his attention on the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat he had just refined.

It can be large or small, used at will.

At present, it was not even palm-sized, virtually held in his palm, looking incomparably small and delicate.

As Xu Zhangqing's mind moved, it immediately began to grow bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye, right before everyone's eyes.

It quickly exceeded one zhang, and showed no sign of stopping.

Subsequently two zhang, three zhang... finally reaching nine zhang nine.

In appearance, it looked about the same as the houses next to it.

"So powerful!"

"Doesn't that mean I can sleep on it?"

"It looks like a giant green lotus!"

Seeing this scene, the three little ones were excited beyond measure.

Xu Zhangqing and Ruo Qunshuang looked at each other, both seeing the color of surprise in the other's eyes.

Moreover, the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat not only looked large, but would also actively attract surrounding Wood Spirit Qi to gather toward itself, forming a domain rich in Spiritual Energy.

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing shrank it a little, to about three zhang, and then brought Ruo Qunshuang, the three little ones, and the group of Spirit Pets, all jumping onto it.

Relying on his mind to control it, they flew rapidly through the air.

Because the speed was too fast, its form could not be seen clearly at all.

Outsiders could only see a green lotus phantom trailing a streak of green light vanish in a flash.

When they had played enough, the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat carried everyone back to Hongfeng Valley.

Xu Zhangqing had just put away the Lotus Seat when the Sky suddenly brightened.

He raised his head and saw a Seven-Colored Rainbow Bridge break through the cloud layers, descending at extreme speed into the air above Hongfeng Valley, standing still outside the Spiritual Array.

The bridge body was condensed from misty Spiritual Energy and materialized laws, stretching rearward toward the endless high sky, as if without end.

"The Rainbow Bridge descends into the Spirit Field?"

"Looks like an Immortal Master has arrived!"

"That direction is Hongfeng Valley?!"

The sudden heaven-and-earth phenomenon instantly attracted the gazes of many people in the Spirit Field.

Xu Zhangqing recognized this Rainbow Bridge, clearly knew who its master was, and hurriedly gave Ruo Qunshuang a meaningful look, then cupped his hands in salute: "Spirit Field Grain Master Xu Zhangqing greets Xuan Yan Dao Jun!"

Ruo Qunshuang and the three little ones followed suit: "We pay respects to Xuan Yan Dao Jun!"

Even Wangzai and the other Spirit Pets all quieted down at this moment, not daring to cause trouble.

At this time, Xuan Yan Dao Jun's voice, devoid of a shred of emotion, resounded in the air above Hongfeng Valley: "Seven days later, discussion at Xingqiong Hall. The Spirit Field Division's Sigen is in seclusion; you will attend in his stead."

(Combined with line 35 as single sentence in source)

No inquiry, no explanation, only an indisputable decree.

Xu Zhangqing bowed solemnly to the Rainbow Bridge: "Yes."

Xuan Yan Dao Jun spoke no further, as if he had already departed.

However, the Rainbow Bridge did not dissipate, still hovering in the air above Hongfeng Valley.

Xu Zhangqing understood; following it would lead to Xingqiong Hall.

Seven days passed in a flash.

During this period, many people came knocking, wanting to inquire about the situation.

To this, Xu Zhangqing uniformly replied with two words: "Meeting!"

Under the gaze of countless eyes — some curious, some envious, some probing — Xu Zhangqing sat cross-legged on the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat, along the conspicuous Rainbow Bridge, transforming into a streak of green light soaring into the heavens.

The surrounding scenery flew by rapidly, until it thoroughly disappeared.

The whole person pierced through the sea of clouds, passing over the gangfeng layer.

Yet the Rainbow Bridge still continued, and had not reached the end.

Just like this, he continued upward without cease, until he felt he was about to break free from the shackles of this heaven and earth beneath his feet, finally reaching the end of the Rainbow Bridge.

That was a massive Palace, quietly suspended beneath the Star Sky.

The whole was built from ten-thousand-year cold ice and solidified cloud-mist.

Cold Qi overflowed, clouds and smoke swirled.

Streaks of Aurora like ribbons encircled the hall exterior, forming a natural Barrier.

Xu Zhangqing's heart was quite stirred: "Unexpectedly, today I'll get to see many big shots!"

However, after he entered, he discovered that inside and out, it was actually empty of a single person.

"Did I come to the wrong place?"

"No, I followed the Rainbow Bridge here!"

"This... what situation is this?"

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhangqing was completely dumbfounded, and the smile on his face even froze.

"Sigh~"

At this moment, a sigh suddenly rang out: "You arrived early!"

Xu Zhangqing scanned the surroundings, but did not discover the source of the voice: "Who might you be, Sir?"

The voice rang out again, replying: "I am the Hall Artifact Spirit of Xingqiong Hall, named Hao Yuan!"

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed: "Greetings, Senior Hao Yuan."

Newcomers rarely appear here, Hao Yuan explained: "The discussion generally begins at noon, no one would arrive at the Chen hour."

Xu Zhangqing's old face reddened: "This is my first time attending, I dare not be careless."

Hao Yuan teased: "Come a few more times, and you'll know the rules."

Xu Zhangqing blinked: "Then... where should I sit?"

Many futons floated inside the hall, and at the very front there was also an exceptionally wide futon set up.

Judging by the looks of it, one probably cannot sit randomly, otherwise one would offend people.

Hao Yuan replied: "I reckon you are the newly appointed Grain Master of the Spirit Field.

Since you are attending the discussion in Mu Ji's stead, then sit at the third on the right."

Not waiting for Xu Zhangqing to search, the futon over there had already lit up with spiritual light.

The third seat on the right, the position is forward, equivalent to the second row inside the hall.

Seeing this, he put away the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat, flew over and sat down cross-legged.

The hall was spacious and silent, only faint Dao sounds reverberating.

Xu Zhangqing held his breath and focused his mind, waiting patiently.

Unknown how long passed, a stunning figure transformed from void into reality, carrying a trace of piercing cold intent, suddenly appearing outside the hall.

A moon-white long skirt glimmered with cold light under the starlight, she stepped inside.

Her gaze swept across the empty grand hall, finally pausing on Xu Zhangqing for an instant.

"Unexpected, there's actually someone who arrived earlier than me!"

"Vice Peak Master Ling!"

"We know each other?"

"No, I know your Disciple."

"Who?"

"Chu Qiu!"

"My good-for-nothing Disciple ah~"

Xu Zhangqing recognized this person at first glance.

Tiexue Peak Vice Peak Master, Ling Shuang.

That "Lao Liu" who sweeps the Seven Peaks without an opponent.

When Chu Qiu had an incident before, the two had the fortune to meet once.

At that time their statuses were vastly different, they didn't even dare to meet eyes, to observe.

Unexpected, after several years they could participate in the discussion together.

After Ling Shuang took her seat, she was like an ice sculpture, expressionless, silently still.

Another period of time passed, movement came from outside the hall.

Half scorching white mist, half deep blue ice crystals.

Water-Fire Power perfectly fused, forming a profound Taiji Diagram.

Then, a human figure walked out from inside.

This person's appearance was handsome and elegant, the corner of his mouth holding a faint barely-there smile, his gaze sweeping over the previously arrived Ling Shuang and Xu Zhangqing, he nodded slightly, counting as a greeting.

Hao Yuan's voice rang out beside Xu Zhangqing's ear: "This one is the Shuixian Peak Peak Master."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Yin-Yang Venerable Li Wudao!"

The evaluation of this person within the Immortal Sect is extremely high, it is said he is one of the Sect Master's powerful contenders, his strength extremely terrifying.

Cry!

At this moment, a clear phoenix cry tore through the silence, a scorching heat wave sweeping over.

A fire phoenix descended with the momentum of burning the eight wildernesses, crimson flowing flames leaving clear lingering traces in the void.

Chi Huo Peak Peak Master Chao Jin, has arrived!
