Chapter 1020

After the six immortal manifestations appeared, there was an intermission to let the cultivators relax their tense nerves.

At this moment, both inside and outside the venue, in the heavens and on earth, there were countless immortals watching. Not only did no one dare to act out of turn, but many felt they had to perform their best—what if an immortal took a liking to them? If an immortal didn't, an immortal's daughter would do just as well.

Many female cultivators prayed to be noticed by an immortal's descendant; if the descendant didn't take a liking to them, they wouldn't mind becoming a young stepmother to the immortal's descendant.

Above the spectator stands, there were rows of boxes specifically set up for VIPs. These boxes all had arrays that blocked spiritual sense, so the ordinary cultivators in the stands could not see these boxes at all, nor did they know of their existence. This was also Little Wei Yuan's handiwork; if the ancestors didn't see the lives of the high-level cultivators, they would be much happier.

Little Wei Yuan naturally reserved a box for himself. At this moment, he was standing before the window, overlooking the images of the six immortal manifestations on the venue, and said, "The floor-to-ceiling window design of the outer-heaven world is still better—a panoramic view, and it gives one the illusion of being able to control the human world."

Zhang Sheng sat sideways by the window, resting his chin on the back of his hand, and said, "I always feel something is wrong somewhere; it seems something has snuck in. Although there are many immortals in the arena, precisely because there are so many, they are wary of and restrain one another, which instead leaves an opening for certain fellows."

A cold light flashed in Little Wei Yuan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, I have long been prepared. Those fellows would never imagine that in less than a year, I have accumulated another fifty million people's fortune! Now that we are in the Azure Void, carrying the power of these myriad people, once activated, I am the great trend of heaven and earth!

If they don't make a move, so be it; as long as they dare to act and let me lock onto them, I will suppress them with the majestic great trend! Even if they are immortals, I will knock them down from their realm! I want to see how many immortals they can afford to exhaust!"

A smile rippled across Zhang Sheng's lips again, and she said, "You are angry again; this won't do."

Little Wei Yuan took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and said, "There is no help for it. Whenever I think of your killing tribulation, I cannot endure it, and there is no room for negotiation in this matter; it must be fought until one side is extinct!"

Zhang Sheng pointed to the twelve dueling platforms below and said, "I feel the fortune of heaven and earth is gathering toward the dueling platforms; it seems the real variable will emerge there. Shall we prepare early?"

Little Wei Yuan nodded accordingly: "Good, then I will go out for a stroll."

"Go ahead, I will watch from here."

Little Wei Yuan had habitually moved close to her, but thinking of the crowd of immortals nearby, he held back. Zhang Sheng smiled lightly: "Go! It is enough that we feed our sect elders some 'dog food'; there is no need to show it to outsiders."

"Dog food??"

Zhang Sheng said, "Haven't you read the latest storybooks? To the 'single dogs,' this is what we call feeding them dog food."

Little Wei Yuan realized: "So that's it! Then feed them a few more mouthfuls!"

Zhang Sheng raised her hand, stopped Little Wei Yuan with her finger, and said sternly, "If it were only us, naturally there would be nothing wrong with it. But now the Bao family's immortal ancestor is also here. Since those peach-blossom affairs of yours have already happened, you must treat them seriously. On such an occasion, you and I must keep our distance to show respect. Otherwise, it will make them feel they have been lowered for no reason."

Little Wei Yuan nodded and said, "Good, then I will attend to serious business first."

Seeing Little Wei Yuan push the door open and disappear into the vast sea of people, Zhang Sheng sat for a moment before she, too, disappeared from the room.

In another box not far from here, Princess Ningguo had already removed all her clothing and was standing naked on the spot. The Sixth Princess was holding snow-white pearl frost in her hands, continuously applying it to her body.

"Hey! Apply two more layers here; absolutely do not let the black skin inside show through! It's fortunate we have this 'Blemish-Concealing Immortal Jade Cream,' otherwise I wouldn't be able to go out... Apply it to the soles of my feet too! Don't be lazy!"

The Sixth Princess was busy until she was covered in sweat, finally managing to paint Princess Ningguo into a white jade doll before the time limit.

At this time, the intermission had ended, and Princess Ningguo changed into a new outfit. This time it was a tender yellow attire, with multiple layers of skirts surrounding her like flower petals. The yellow was tinged with pink, and the face in the middle was like a tender sprout, radiating spiritual energy, while her outstretched arms were as soft as willow branches, with crystal light clustered at her fingertips. She descended slowly amidst the sky full of flying flowers and stardust, her gauze skirt fluttering, brushing past a flawless porcelain-white face. As she looked around, her eyes were both pure and seductive. Such a sweet and lovely appearance dealt another heavy blow to the hearts of countless ignorant youths!

The previous Ningguo was too beautiful and too immortal, so beautiful that people couldn't even harbor wild thoughts. But now she was like a neighbor's daughter who had just grown up; as her eyes turned, everyone felt she was looking at them—how could they not be moved? At this very moment, countless hot-blooded young men felt that she was that ray of moonlight from their youth, shining deeply into their hearts.

As Ningguo announced the start of the assembly, the seventh immortal manifestation appeared.

One could see a thatched cottage appear on the green jade platform, with a scholar inside holding a scroll and reciting. The cottage was not large, but it was exquisite, and there was a red-sleeved attendant adding fragrance and grinding ink.

Knowledgeable cultivators immediately saw that the scholar's four treasures and the red-sleeved attendant in the cottage were no ordinary items. But in fact, this manifestation had been famous throughout the world for a hundred years; the key was actually the scroll the scholar held in his hands.

That was the manuscript left behind by the Sub-Sage, possessing great karma and great merit; the other scenery, including the scholar himself, were merely embellishments.

Once this manifestation appeared, those in the know realized it must be the direct descendant of the Duke of Yansheng. Before Li Zhi appeared, the Four Sages Academy had always relied on this manifestation to maintain its reputation.

The eighth manifestation was a floating immortal sword, shuttling freely through the clouds. Although this manifestation seemed simple, the immortal sword possessed its own spirituality; it was actually a top-tier sword cultivator.

It was just that after seeing the ferocious manifestations in the first half, these two manifestations seemed a bit plain.

But immediately after, heaven and earth suddenly darkened! It was actually a giant mountain descending from the sky!

Many spectators were so frightened their faces turned pale, and they all wanted to stand up and flee. Fortunately, at this moment, the giant mountain rapidly shrank, finally barely landing on the green jade platform. Only then did the crowd see a small ape under the mountain; it was the Mountain-Moving Ancient Ape.

Following the Wasteland Underworld Dragon, another divine beast had appeared.
