Chapter 590: Gathering of Heroes on Tianlong Island
In the Chaotic Star Sea.
On Tianlong Island.
At this moment, Tianlong Island was bustling with activity.
"Look, the little genius of Heavenly Sword Sect is being pinned down and beaten!"
"Damn, who's so arrogant?"
"No need to ask, it's definitely from War God Pavilion. A Divine Transformation expert, the seventh-generation direct descendant of the War God Ancestor, Zhan Po Tian!"
"Wow, there's another fight over there!"
"This is exciting. It's the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Fire Temple against the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Water Temple!"
"Tsk tsk, it's not even the appointed time, but these young juniors are so hot-headed!"
...
On Tianlong Island, people were coming and going, and there were more cultivators than usual, more than ten times the usual number!
But the most astonishing thing was that there were suddenly many young cultivators on Tianlong Island.
There were many of them who were under twenty and had already entered the Sea Wheel Realm, and quite a few who were under thirty and had reached the pinnacle of the Sea Wheel Realm!
There were even occasionally some luxurious flying boats with young cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm standing on them!
The local powerhouses of Tianlong Island, such as the Three Sword Alliance and the Five Laws Alliance, who were usually very arrogant, were now mostly keeping a low profile. The few who were not willing to back down were being pinned down and beaten.
With the opening of the Great Secret Realm of Tianlong Island approaching, more and more powerful forces and experts from the upper realms were coming.
However, the Great Secret Realm of Tianlong Island had been monopolized by the Starfire Auction House, the Three Sword Alliance, the Five Laws Alliance, the Ten Thousand Beast Gate, and some demon and monster races for a long time!
Therefore, most of the forces that came were closely related to these local forces.
These incoming forces also knew that the Great Secret Realm of Tianlong Island had been monopolized by the Starfire Auction House and other dominant forces. As a result, not many powerful experts had come this time; most of the participants were from the younger generation.
Their purpose was to let the younger generation enjoy some benefits and also see if they could snatch a great opportunity, thereby achieving rapid progress!
There were many such scenarios in the Three Thousand Worlds. When a remarkable opportunity or a major secret realm was discovered in a lower-level plane, major forces from the middle-level or upper-level planes would send representatives to monopolize it.
These monopolizing forces would then communicate with other friendly forces. I monopolize Secret Realm A, and you can let your younger generation get some benefits there!
For Secret Realm B that you monopolize, naturally, you should let the younger generation under my command also gain something from it.
So, although there were fierce battles everywhere on Tianlong Island, it was mostly the younger generation who were involved; the older generation didn't really make a move.
At this time, in the main hall of Tianlong Island's tower.
Nearly a thousand figures were present, all cultivators from the upper realms, waiting quietly.
Among these thousand figures, just over ten percent were powerful experts from the Starfire Auction House, the Three Sword Alliance, the Five Laws Alliance, and the Ten Thousand Beast Gate.
The remaining eighty to ninety percent were representatives from other upper realm forces.
"Hehe, I wonder which force's younger generation will stand out this time?"
"Indeed, the Great Secret Realm of Tianlong Island is a significant event even in the Three Thousand Worlds!"
"More than significant, I've heard that in the past, a Divine Transformation expert came here to take this secret realm, but he mysteriously perished! The depths of this Chaotic Star Sea, tsk tsk, are really unfathomable!"
...
The upper realm cultivators were discussing with each other.
No one mentioned the Yan Huang Sect.
The upper realm cultivators were unaware.
However, the local powers on Tianlong Island trembled at the mere mention of the Yan Huang Sect.
What a tragedy, something not to be revisited.
"When do you think King Shrimp will return?" In a corner, a few high-level figures of Tianlong Island were looking at the sea, waiting for a group led by King Shrimp to arrive and bring a warm spring breeze!
But even monkeys now knew that the higher-ups of Tianlong Island, under the excellent command of the Third Elder of the Ten Thousand Fire Temple, had lost a staggering three billion spirit stones, almost becoming a laughingstock!
The grass on the Third Elder's grave was already ten meters high.
Naturally, no one would dare to mention the Yan Huang Sect again.
"They're here!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
Everyone turned their gaze in that direction.
Soon, four figures, escorted by numerous attendants from the Starfire Auction House, walked into the hall.
"It's Lady Mu Xueying!" Almost ninety-nine percent of the high-level figures present were familiar with Mu Xueying.
Among these high-level figures, there were many at the late Nascent Soul Realm or even the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm!
But every gaze directed at Mu Xueying carried greed, awe, and a trace of concealed fear.
At the forefront was none other than Mu Xueying herself.
Her wine-red ponytail was still the same, her silky hair falling along her cheeks and ears. Her figure was still striking, even if her concise upper garment couldn't conceal it.
However, what truly evoked awe in everyone was Mu Xueying's golden-colored pupils. The ripples in her eyes flowed continuously, exuding a captivating aura.
"Welcome, everyone, to Tianlong Island!" Mu Xueying spoke softly, her voice ethereal and melodious.
"Especially, welcome friends from War God Pavilion, Heaven God Pavilion, and Thunder God Pavilion!"
After Mu Xueying's gentle words, she turned and introduced the three figures behind her.
"This is my intended partner as chosen by my father. He's also my fiancé, known throughout the Three Thousand Worlds, the descendant of the Scarlet Emperor Clan, Chi Mo!" Mu Xueying said, pointing to a red-haired man by her side.
"The descendant of the Scarlet Emperor Clan?"
"The Scarlet Emperor? The great emperor from ancient times?"
"The descendant of the great emperor, Scarlet Emperor... Although the Scarlet Emperor has already fallen, the Scarlet Emperor Clan is still exceptionally powerful! If another great emperor were to emerge from them, they would undoubtedly reforge the glory of the past!"
...
Many people started discussing one after another.
"Humph!" The red-haired man, Chi Mo, shifted his gaze, disdainfully sweeping a glance over the people present. His gaze and expression were unreservedly contemptuous.
Although many of the present high-level figures had far higher cultivation bases than Chi Mo, they still didn't dare to say much.
Although the Scarlet Emperor Clan didn't have a great emperor anymore, they were still legitimate descendants of a great emperor! Their terrifying talents and bloodline were incredibly formidable!
"This person, many of you probably recognize him! He is the esteemed guest from Absolute Sword Sect, who possesses three perfected sword intents. He's hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius, ranked thirty-seventh on the Three Thousand Worlds' Heavenly Rankings, the Young Sovereign, Jian Aolai!"
As Mu Xueying spoke again, everyone immediately buzzed with excitement.
The so-called Heavenly Rankings of the Three Thousand Worlds were compiled once every thousand years. Only young talents with a bone age of less than a thousand years could qualify!
This list had over a hundred individuals!
Each one of them was the strongest of their respective regions among the young generation. Some were even strong enough to be the strongest in a lower-level plane!
Because every genius on this ranking possessed astonishing talent and formidable strength, they were all given the title of "Young Sovereign"!
In fact, one could say that without the title of Young Sovereign, one couldn't even qualify to be on the list!
And to be ranked thirty-seventh was already incredibly shocking!
To reach the Sea Wheel Realm in under a thousand years and comprehend three perfected sword intents... no wonder he's called the Young Sovereign!
Truly deserving of the title!
"So it's Young Sovereign Jian Aolai! I've heard so much about you!"
Many cultivators spoke up to greet him. Their attitude was much more respectful compared to when addressing Chi Mo.
After all, although Chi Mo's potential might be great, he was only at the early Nascent Soul Realm. His future might be promising, but whether he could be called a Young Sovereign was still uncertain, and his strength was vastly different from Young Sovereign Jian Aolai's!
Jian Aolai didn't respond, and he didn't even bother to acknowledge the people present. He simply nodded toward Mu Xueying and then closed his eyes, entering a meditative state.
"Humph!"
Chi Mo snorted but didn't dare to speak arrogantly.
"Lastly, this person..." Mu Xueying was about to introduce the last person, but that person stepped forward.
He was a young man, but once a cultivator reached the Sea Wheel Realm, their appearance no longer reflected their age.
However, many people could still tell at a glance that this person's bone age was less than a thousand years, classifying him as part of the younger generation.
"I am Liu Daogong! Also, a suitor of Mu Xueying's! As long as Mu Xueying isn't married, I won't give up!" This youth's lips curled up, and he spoke with extreme arrogance.
