Myriad Incarnations Immortal King

Myriad Incarnations Immortal King . . .

"Not bad, not bad at all! Hahaha! A third soul dares to grace the ninth mountain peak. Now, that's intriguing!" Laughter filled the banquet hall, where immortal realm experts wore expressions of genuine interest. While the disciple recruitment event of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor wasn't widely known across the immortal realms, it had still drawn many talented young aspirants, particularly from the Eastern Sage's empire. With such a prestigious master up for grabs, they couldn't resist the allure.

"Would you look at that! Thirty-nine individuals on the eighth peak. Quite unexpected," one expert remarked. Their sharp eyes primarily focused on those occupying the eighth and ninth peaks, for only participants on these two summits merited their attention. Those whose perception reached the seventh heavenly layer and possessed a cultivation base surpassing the fourth level of Celestial Phenomenon were of particular interest. Such individuals had the potential to condense astral souls from the seventh heavenly layer, and even if their current fifth astral soul wasn't a violet-gold one from the seventh layer, their next astral soul upon entering the Immortal Foundation Realm would almost certainly be.

As for those on lower peaks, they garnered significantly less attention. The event aimed to recruit the most outstanding talents, and with participants already on the eighth and ninth peaks, it was nearly impossible for those below to steal the spotlight unless they performed exceptionally well in subsequent tests.

"The first test's time limit will conclude in another two hours," Dongsheng Ting's voice resonated throughout the Royal Sacred Region from his perch atop the wardrum.

Time flowed gradually, and as two hours passed, only three participants stood on the ninth mountain peak, while forty-five graced the eighth peak.

"Ten more breaths of time," Dongsheng Ting announced.

"Nine breaths, eight...three, two, one. Time's up!" As Dongsheng Ting's voice echoed, a fourth figure materialized on the ninth peak at the very last moment, bathed in astral light.

"Well, that fellow had some remarkable timing to reach the ninth peak right at the last moment," remarked a female immortal king in attendance, chuckling.

"You've misunderstood. It's not about timing; it's about confidence," Deepflame retorted, his eyes fixed on the young man who had ascended last. The newcomer stood there with a serene composure, displaying no signs of panic. Could his ascent be mere luck, a last-minute effort, or was there something more to it?

"Is that so?" The female immortal king smiled, now understanding that Deepflame's assessment had merit.

"Young Master Tianyi of the Scarce Moon Immortal Manor. His fame echoes across a region of the immortal realms. Despite being at the fourth level of Celestial Phenomenon, his fifth astral soul hails from the seventh heavenly layer, indicating that when he first entered the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, he was already capable of standing on the eighth peak. Given his current cultivation, ascending to the ninth immortal peak wasn't as arduous as it may seem. Several immortal kings sought to take him as a disciple, but the Scarce Moon Immortal King personally wishes to mentor him. His presence here today suggests that the Scarce Moon Immortal King intends for him to study under the Eastern Sage Great Emperor's tutelage."

Deepflame's gaze roamed the assembly, ultimately settling on a figure draped in pristine white robes. With a smile, he quipped, "Scarce Moon Immortal King, you truly have a knack for seizing opportunities. Allowing Que Tianyi to venture into this particle world, impressive move."

A chorus of appreciative jests followed, and several experts cast knowing looks at the Scarce Moon Immortal King. The old master displayed a satisfied grin, his eyes twinkling with pride. Que Tianyi, bearing a violet-gold astral soul and extraordinary affinity, possessed remarkable talent. If he secured a place in the Eastern Sage Great Emperor's tutelage, their Scarce Moon Immortal Manor might soon boast a second immortal king.

"I'm particularly fond of Que Tianyi. Should he enter his Majesty's tutelage, he has a high likelihood of attaining the Immortal King Realm in the future," Deepflame opined.

"It's still early days. His cultivation base remains low, and his path ahead is uncertain. Let's hope he earns his Majesty's favor," the Scarce Moon Immortal King replied, his demeanor more reserved. He refrained from boasting prematurely, mindful that the road to supreme existence held numerous trials.

"Aside from Que Tianyi, I also sense immense potential in the first person to ascend the ninth immortal mountain peak. There's something about him that reminds me of myself," Deepflame continued. "Furthermore, the third individual to reach the ninth peak exudes a determination I find appealing."

"Why does Flame King seem to underestimate the second person? He's exceptionally young, yet his perception is already formidable. Logically, shouldn't he rank second?" the female immortal king chimed in.

"He's too young. His eyes betray an unfounded arrogance. While his talent may warrant the second spot among these four, he still needs more seasoning. Taking him as a disciple now would hinder his progress," Deepflame asserted, his tone resolute.

"He does radiate confidence and conviction, but it's only natural for young prodigies to believe in themselves. Flame King, your judgment appears somewhat skewed," the female immortal king remarked with a chuckle.

"Haha, we shall see," Deepflame laughed heartily. He then turned to Bai Wuya, inquiring, "Bai Wuya, what are your thoughts?"

"If someone lacks confidence in their own abilities, how can they inspire others? Aren't you, by critiquing him, displaying a similar arrogance?" Bai Wuya countered, tauntingly adding, "Were I in his Majesty's position, I'd gladly accept the second young man who scaled the ninth peak as my disciple. He possesses the highest potential among them, only lacking wings to soar."

"Well said!" Many experts in the crowd chuckled. Deepflame's disdain for Qin Wentian stemmed from the young man's self-confidence, which mirrored Bai Wuya's own demeanor. Such unwavering self-assurance could sometimes give off a misleading impression - that these individuals didn't comprehend the vastness of the cosmos.

Suddenly, Dongsheng Ting approached, his gaze fixed on the assembly of immortal kings. A smile graced his lips as he addressed them, "My royal father has instructed me that, if you esteemed seniors deigned to grace us with your presence, you would oversee the trials. I would also like to extend an invitation to the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King to lend her aid."

The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King, the sole female immortal king present at the banquet, was known for her formidable combat skills. Ordinary immortal kings stood no chance against her. Her ability to assume countless incarnations struck fear into the hearts of many.

Smiling at Dongsheng Ting, the female immortal king replied, "Assisting the Eastern Sage Great Emperor is an honor I gratefully accept."

"Your cultivation base, Senior, is truly remarkable and well-suited for this task. This time, we intend to cull the numbers directly, leaving only a hundred standing," announced Dongsheng Ting.

The female immortal king responded with a hearty nod, her eyes sparkling with amusement. With a soft chuckle, she closed her eyes, her immortal sense extending outward. In the blink of an eye, a stunning ethereal projection manifested on the mountain peaks—a manifestation of her own immortal sense.

"As the examiner, I shall oversee the trial. Only those who endure the longest will secure their place," she proclaimed, her voice carrying the weight of authority. Within moments, a profound and overwhelming immortal sense enveloped the nine mountains. Those who had been gazing upon her projection found themselves abruptly transported into a dimension she had conjured—a reality of her own creation!
