Chapter 738: Give this palace an explanation

About half an hour later, almost all the heaven-gifted geniuses had arrived in the great hall.

A female disciple in black robes walked to the platform in front and looked at the crowd. "Fellow heaven-gifted geniuses, please be quiet. Everyone, please be silent!"

The bustling crowd below finally suppressed their noisy voices.

The great hall fell silent.

The woman said, "Now, the meeting officially begins. Please stand up and respectfully welcome the arrival of the Demon Emperors!"

Whoosh...

As soon as the woman finished speaking, everyone stood up from their seats.

On the dozens of jade lotus platforms behind the platform where the black-robed woman stood, sacred rays of light began to shine.

Then, on a high platform, a Great Emperor in fire-red Daoist robes revealed his true form.

One!

Two!

Three!

Each Great Emperor stood a thousand zhang tall.

This was not their true form, but merely a Dharma manifestation.

The Dharma manifestation of a Great Emperor could easily reach three thousand zhang, and some Demon Emperors at the peak of the Mahayana Emperor Realm could even reach ten thousand zhang.

However, because the space in this great hall was limited, the Dharma manifestations they revealed were correspondingly reduced in size, each only a thousand zhang tall.

Magnificent light accompanied by countless impacts of Daoist power surged forth.

He Ping's eyes swept across them.

The Dharma manifestations were diverse: there were Phoenixes, Heavenly Foxes, Divine Apes, Peacocks, and so on!

He Ping even saw a human among the many Dharma manifestations.

That human cultivator wore fire-red Daoist robes, with a cluster of golden flames burning above his head. He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his appearance was quite immortal and refined.

He Ping knew that this human was likely the Undying God Emperor.

"Hoo... hoo... hoo..."

Beside him, Zhou Qingmei's breathing became heavy.

Clearly, she had directly recognized the heartless man from years ago, Zhao Xiangdu.

"Is it him?" He Ping sent a spiritual sense transmission to Zhou Qingmei.

Zhou Qingmei replied, her voice trembling: "Yes... he is Zhao Xiangdu!"

Hum...

Hum hum hum...

The Kongkong Kongkong Yao Di Dharma manifestations above were still condensing.

After a dozen breaths, all the Great Emperors took their seats.

There were only twenty-something in total.

Not every Great Emperor from every Emperor Domain had come.

"Please sit!"

A Great Emperor in silver Daoist robes sitting in the center of the front row waved his hand at the crowd.

This person's true form was a Divine Ape.

He was the host of the entire Stone Platform Assembly: the Jin Gang Kongkong Yao Di.

The Jin Gang Kongkong Yao Di was a Kongkong Kongkong Yao Di of the Divine Ape clan and also the Domain Lord of the Heavenly Gang Emperor Domain.

As the host, although he was not of the God race or Phoenix race, he played a very important role in this Stone Platform Assembly.

Whoosh whoosh...

Nearly two thousand people sat down.

The Jin Gang Kongkong Yao Di waved his sleeves slightly and continued, "Today is just a meeting for the heaven-gifted geniuses. Originally, we Demon Emperors would not need to appear, but seeing so many geniuses from the Heavenly Fire Continent gathered here reminds this old man of the scene when we participated in the Stone Platform Assembly many years ago!"

"Hehehe... oh my, today and yesterday, this evening and last evening, it truly... feels like a dream!"

"Seeing you, we also seem to see ourselves from many years ago!"

"Of course, there is one major item to announce at this meeting: the entire competition schedule and events for this Stone Platform Assembly!"

"This one will be left for last!"

The Jin Gang Kongkong Yao Di did not say much.

After saying this, he turned to look behind him and asked, "Fellow Daoists, do you have anything to say?"

Everyone was a Kongkong Kongkong Yao Di, and some even had combat power that could be said to be above the Jin Gang Kongkong Yao Di. He only got the first word because he was the host; it did not mean the other Demon Emperors did not need to speak.

The next moment, the Dalun Mingwang said, "This palace has something to do!"

The next moment, she took a long stride and instantly landed beside He Ping.

"He Ping... we meet again!"

"Hehehe..."

The Dalun Mingwang, with bright eyes and white teeth, faced He Ping directly.

A wave of whispering broke out in the venue again.

"I... I..." Someone wanted to curse, but seeing so many Demon Emperors present, they didn't dare to let it out, so they swallowed half of it and said in shock, "What is this guy's background? Even the Dalun Mingwang knows him?"

"This human kid seems to be quite extraordinary?"

"Did you hear? He is called He Ping!"

"I've never heard of this name!"

"It must be a coincidence!"

Countless geniuses whispered.

The Great Emperors above also cast their gazes toward He Ping one by one.

Especially the human Great Emperor Zhao Xiangdu; he had been indifferent when seeing He Ping, but when he saw Zhou Qingmei beside He Ping, his face turned pale in an instant.

His body even trembled slightly.

How is this possible?

Is it her?

Is she still alive?

No, no, no... it's been so many years, she couldn't possibly still be alive; she should have died long ago.

Even if the news of her death back then was fake, without entering the Mahayana Emperor Realm, she absolutely could not have lived for tens of thousands of years.

Then... is this woman the reincarnation of Qingmei?

Or is it just a coincidence that she looks exactly the same?

Hmm, I'll go ask later.

"Greetings, Senior Mingwang!" He Ping stood up respectfully and performed a cupped-hand salute.

The Dalun Mingwang said, "Do you have nothing to say to me?"

He Ping frowned.

The Dalun Mingwang reached out, and a soft whip flew out, instantly wrapping around Wang Dun and pulling him over.

Although both of them had the 'Fifty-Fifty' talisman and she couldn't kill Wang Dun, she was capable of catching him off guard and capturing him in the short term.

"Damn it..." Wang Dun cursed directly. "Old woman... can you... can you give a heads-up before you attack?"

Once Wang Dun opened his mouth, he was not polite at all.

This scene stunned countless geniuses and Demon Emperors.

"This..."

"I... I... I..."

"This guy..."

"Is he courting death?"

Even many Demon Emperors couldn't help but twitch their faces: Good heavens, this is the Dalun Mingwang. You, a mere human, even if you are a genius, speaking to the fourth-ranked Dalun Mingwang like that, you must be tired of living, right?

The leader of the Teng Snake clan was so scared that their soul nearly left their body: My lord, I only let you join our Teng Snake clan to participate in the Stone Platform Assembly because you were gifted, and you... you actually dare to offend the Dalun Mingwang?

It's over, it's really over this time.

I just hope that when the Dalun Mingwang gets furious later, she doesn't vent her anger on our Teng Snake clan.

The leader had already made up their mind: I'll kick this kid Wang Dun out later!

Damn it, I let you come to participate in the competition, not to cause trouble. ===== CHAPTER 739 =====
