643: Chapter 643 The bustling Tai Xuan Realm

Su Yun looked up at the peak and halfway up Flowing Light Peak, soon seeing Meng Shuyan and Luo Qingshuang back in their respective Immortal Caves.

"It's about time... I should head out too!"

Then, Su Yun took a step forward as if strolling, but the space around him rippled slightly, and in the next moment, his figure vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, the entire Great Profound Realm became bustling.

In the Third Layer of the Taixuan Realm, various colors of spiritual light shot into the sky as Personal Disciples from various peaks flew out from above their peaks, activating different escape lights.

It was as if they had already started competing before the Disciple Competition even began.

Disciples of Cuihuo Peak flew out as streaks of red light, the scorching flames on them making the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi incredibly hot.

Disciples of Piao Miao Peak were mostly of Wind Spiritual Root or wind-attribute Physique, so they all rode the wind, stirring up gusts of green wind that caused mystical winds to blow across the sky of the Third Layer of the Taixuan Realm.

Disciples of Heavy Rock Peak condensed layers of sand and soil around themselves to fly; wherever they passed, there were bursts of sonic booms, looking extremely steady and heavy.

Disciples of Cangmu Peak were surrounded by bursts of green light, emitting a dense aura of life and condensing phantoms of various Spiritual Plants; their flight speed was not much slower than the other peaks.

Disciples of Thunder Shadow Peak turned into streaks of lightning and charged to the very front, as if they were about to shatter the surrounding space.

The most special among them was Jade Pearl Peak; its Disciples were all female, each a beautiful and moving Fairy.

Like a beautiful scenery, they followed the Disciples of other peaks toward the Second Layer of Taixuan Realm.

...

Shortly after.

Second Layer of Taixuan Realm.

In the Core Disciple Square.

The Personal Disciples of each peak arrived one after another and lined up at the front under the guidance of the deacons.

Other Core Disciples and ordinary Disciples also arrived at the Core Disciple Square one after another afterward, lining up behind the Personal Disciples.

The originally desolate Core Disciple Square soon became noisy.

The previous generation of Personal Disciples from each peak gathered in groups of three to five and began to discuss among themselves.

"The Disciple Competition is finally starting. I'm definitely taking first place this time!"

"I've recently broken through to the sixth level of the Soul Emergence Realm, and since the Cultivation Technique I practice is extremely powerful, who could be my match?"

"Tch, what's the sixth level of Soul Emergence? I'm at the eighth level of Soul Emergence and I don't even dare claim I'll take first. You think you can?"

"Yeah, haven't you heard of Junior Sister Luo? Like the Holy Lord, she is a Disciple of True Person Liuguang! She seems to have broken through to the high stages of the Soul Emergence Realm! I haven't found out exactly which level, but her strength is not simple!"

"Uh... this..."

"I almost forgot about Junior Sister Luo! Her strength is truly terrifying!"

One of the previous generation of Personal Disciples, who had been devoted to cultivation for many years, asked in confusion, "Is it really that exaggerated? Does our Holy Land's younger generation have such a Prodigy of a Junior Sister?"

"It's true! If you encounter her in the Disciple Competition, you'll know how formidable she is!"

At this point, Li Guanshan and several others who had participated in the last Holy Son Selection looked solemn, even breaking into a cold sweat.

After all, when Junior Sister Luo's cultivation was lower than theirs, her strength was already very high and she could easily deal with them.

Now that her cultivation was higher than theirs, they would surely lose even faster!

...

A moment later, all the Disciples had arrived, and the Core Disciple Square was packed with people.

Immediately after, several terrifying auras enveloped the field.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——————

Streaks of escape lights instantly flew to the front of the Core Disciple Square. As the light dissipated, the figures of over twenty Elders appeared, led by the peak masters of each peak, such as Perfected Chongyan.

Because this was a Disciple Competition for the entire Holy Land, the Elders who were not in secluded cultivation all came.

At this time, Quenching Fire looked around with some confusion.

"Has the Holy Lord... not arrived yet? Is he not in the Holy Land?"

"The Holy Lord did go out a few days ago, but he returned yesterday! So just wait a bit longer, the Holy Lord should be here soon!"

Venerable Yuling said in a gentle tone.

As for how she knew, it was naturally known from her Disciple Yulan!

The other Elders were chatting animatedly about recent major events:

"By the way, have you heard? The Xu Family of the Central Region was wiped out a dozen days ago!"

"Hiss~ A first-rate major Family of the Central Region like the Xu Family is just gone? Who did it? To have such strength? Could it be those few top-tier first-rate families?"

"I heard from rumors that a junior of the Xu Family accidentally killed the descendant of a certain reclusive Mahayana expert, which angered them and led to the attack.

Finally, even the hidden Mahayana expert of the Xu Family was no match for that reclusive Mahayana expert.

That's what led to the destruction of the Xu Family!"

"Wait! Wasn't it because the Xu Family obtained an Opportunity for Immortal Ascension and was then attacked and wiped out by several Mahayana experts?"

...

While the Elders were talking, a faint ripple in space flashed, and Su Yun's figure quietly appeared.

He had arrived too early, and since the Disciples hadn't all gathered yet, he had gone on a patrol around the Great Profound Realm before returning here.

As soon as he returned, Su Yun heard the Elders' discussion and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. "The matter of the Xu Family only happened ten or so days ago, and it's already being spread so absurdly. Could it be the work of the Xie Family Ancestor and the others?"

After all, if someone hadn't intentionally made it up, it wouldn't be described so clearly.

However, the Xie Family Ancestor and the others really did a good job on this matter!

If no rumors were released, the sudden destruction of a first-rate Central Region Family like the Xu Family would easily cause the Cultivators in the surrounding cities to fall into suspicion and panic.

Under such widespread anxiety, unrest would occur, which might then escalate and make the entire Central Region even more chaotic.

It seems that leaving the matter of forming the Family Alliance to the Xie Family Ancestor was the right choice.

Then, Su Yun walked up to the Elders.

"Holy Lord, you've arrived!"

Liu Chengfeng suddenly appeared from the side, came before Su Yun, and cupped his hands with an extremely respectful expression.

Seeing this, many Elders were somewhat speechless and whispered to each other.

"This... where did Elder Liu pop out from? I didn't even notice him!"

"Why is he so eager the moment the Holy Lord appears?"

"With such an attitude, no wonder he could become the Holy Lord's confidant!"

...
