40: Goddess Peak Beauty Pageant

On the other side.

After Ye Wen descended the mountain, Wuming appeared by his side.

"Saint, do you really have to show your face? Should we let Yaoguangzi take your place instead?" Wuming felt that Ye Wen didn't need to go out; if Ye Wen showed himself now, it would instead attract the attention of the other Holy Lands.

It would be better to just let Yaoguangzi handle it.

"It matters not; I have already reached the fourth Secret Realm of the Four Extremities." Ye Wen told Wuming not to worry.

"...Saint, I am naturally not worried about your safety, but rather your Cultivation Technique... it might attract the attention of those Holy Lands. After all, that Great One is loathed by many Holy Lands. Combined with our lineage frequently planting pawns in their Holy Lands, the Ruthless Person lineage can be said to be..." Wuming felt somewhat awkward and did not continue.

Hearing Wuming's worry, Ye Wen laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't use the divine arts of the Ruthless Person lineage during the assembly. Besides, they won't be able to force me to use them. The true geniuses are still inside the God Sources and haven't come out yet."

"These Saints are merely those on the surface of the Holy Lands; they don't have the strength to force me to use the Indestructible Heavenly Art." Ye Wen told Wuming not to worry and then headed toward the Main Peak.

Seeing Ye Wen speak thus, Wuming could only follow helplessly.

Before long, Ye Wen arrived at a massive mountain peak, where a giant arena appeared below.

Below, many Saints from various Holy Lands were already standing.

These were all of the Eastern Wasteland's younger generation, and their strength had all reached the Four Extremities Realm.

Among them, the one who drew attention was the Ji Family's Seventh Young Master, Ji Haoyue.

This Seventh Young Master was a Divine Body, known by many as the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body. His strength was terrifying; he had already cultivated the fourth Secret Realm and showed signs of becoming the number one youth in the Eastern Wasteland.

For this Genius gathering, the Ji Family sent this Eastern Wasteland Divine Body with the goal of taking first place and obtaining the divine spring.

Ye Wen looked at the man below, dressed in purple robes, with eyes like stars and a presence as tranquil as the bright moon.

A playful smile appeared on Ye Wen's face.

Then, Ye Wen landed directly below, not far from Ji Haoyue.

Just as Ye Wen landed, Ji Haoyue suddenly sensed something and turned back to look at him.

Seeing the other party looking his way, Ye Wen smiled and nodded to him.

Ji Haoyue also nodded back.

After returning the gesture, Ji Haoyue turned back, a solemn expression appearing on his face.

"A powerful opponent. Which Holy Land is he from? Why haven't I heard of him?" Inwardly, Ji Haoyue was surprised by Ye Wen's appearance.

He actually didn't know of such a powerful youth.

One must know that the younger generation of the Eastern Wasteland often gathered to discuss the Dao, so they naturally knew each other's backgrounds.

But Ji Haoyue had truly never seen Ye Wen before.

After looking at Ji Haoyue, Ye Wen walked around the arena; everyone here was an elite of the Eastern Wasteland.

Having been sent by their families or Holy Lands to participate in the upcoming arena matches, where the winner would receive a drop of divine spring water, they all wondered if the Yaoguang Holy Land had gone mad.

However, with such a good opportunity to spar with the Saints of other Holy Lands, they naturally wouldn't refuse.

After arriving at the arena, they gathered in small groups to converse.

About an hour later.

Above the arena's perimeter, the Yaoguang Holy Master Li Daoqing and the Elders finished their discussion and then summoned the Holy Masters of other Holy Lands for a meeting.

Soon, the decision on how the competition would be held was finalized.

Before long, an Elder of the Dragon Transformation Realm stepped through the air to the space above the arena.

"Everyone, there are three hundred and one participants in this arena competition. Since there are too many people, some must be eliminated, leaving only thirty to enter the second round."

"The method of determination is simple: stay on the arena until only thirty spots remain. We will have matches in groups of ten, and those left standing at the end will advance to the next round."

"Now, we will begin drawing lots for the assignments." After saying this, the Elder projected a massive screen into the air.

Then, the matching began.

The assignments were finished quickly, leaving one lucky person who wasn't selected but instead advanced directly to the second round.

And this lucky person was Ye Wen himself.

Even Ye Wen hadn't expected to be so lucky; he had asked Wuming, and it really wasn't a deliberate act by the Elders.

"In that case, I'll just wait for them." Ye Wen left the arena, as the elimination rounds were about to begin.

Because they were short on time.

The battles were very fast.

The victors were decided within an hour.

The thirty spots were determined.

And Ji Haoyue was naturally one of those who advanced.

"The second round will be tomorrow. Everyone, get some rest; we start the second round tomorrow." The Elder announced that the second round would take place the next day.

And so, the first day passed peacefully.

Seeing this, Ye Wen also found it dull and began to return to Goddess Peak.

However, at this moment on Goddess Peak, lovely and moving Saintesses were putting on a show everywhere.

And one hundred maidservants on Goddess Peak were assisting in hosting them.

Fortunately, there were many rooms on Goddess Peak, enough to accommodate the three hundred and twenty-one Saintesses.

These maidservants had all been specially trained by Ye Wen.

Hosting these Saintesses was no problem.

Meanwhile, Yao Xi was in charge of the women's competition format.

Unlike the men's competition which required fighting.

Yao Xi's competition left the group including the Jade Lake, Phoenix, and Ji Ziyue somewhat bewildered.

This was also what surprised Ye Wen upon his return to Goddess Peak when he saw the scene before him.

Yao Xi required everyone to change into a kind of strange attire; the ten people who looked the best and most suitable in them would advance to the second round.

It took the hundred maidservants quite a while to get all the Saintesses changed into special black silk stocking uniforms and white silk stocking uniforms.

Once they had all changed, Yao Xi, Yan Ruyu, and Weiwei began the judging.

Ye Fan watched as they walked down a runway one by one, wearing sexy black and white silk uniforms, with Weiwei, Yao Xi, and Yan Ruyu on either side.

On their table were ten placards, each with a different number.

Numbers from one to ten.

As each Saintess walked past them, they would pick up a placard from the table and hold it up.

Nearby, Qin Yao was in charge of recording the three sets of numbers to calculate the final total.

"A beauty pageant, isn't it? It definitely is. I can't believe they came up with this." Ye Wen watched the women having a great time, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

What also surprised him was how Yan Ruyu and Yao Xi had managed to convince this group of Saintesses.

After all, these outfits were very sexy; they were things he had them wear to spice things up during their Dual Cultivation.

He hadn't expected them to actually get three hundred or so Saintesses to put them on and even walk a stage show.

Yao Xi and Qin Yao were simply geniuses.

"Next, Ji Ziyue." After Yao Xi held up a nine, she looked at the list in her hand; the next one happened to be the Ji Family's little princess, Ji Ziyue, who was also a Primal Spirit Body.

On the red carpet, Ji Ziyue's face was incredibly flushed, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

Someone tell her why, when she came to participate in a competition, she had to wear such shameful clothes? And she couldn't refuse; if she didn't wear them, she would be disqualified.

To secure a spot in the top five, she was forced to wear this white silk stocking uniform and walk onto the red carpet according to Yao Xi and the others' requirements.

Hearing Yao Xi call her name...

Ji Ziyue responded and then, with a red face, walked over bashfully.

Looking at Ji Ziyue on the red carpet, Yan Ruyu, Weiwei, and Yao Xi very tacitly held up ten-point placards.

"Ji Ziyue, thirty points! A perfect score! Passed the first round of the trial!" Qin Yao shouted loudly.

Hearing that she had passed with a perfect score, Ji Ziyue's face showed surprise, followed by joy.

"I passed!" Ji Ziyue forgot her shyness, her face filled with immense happiness.

Hearing the perfect score, the others couldn't help but look at Ji Ziyue with envy.
