73: Convergence of forces

Tai Xuan Sect!

“Hiss, this is Tai Xuan Sect, what a grand atmosphere, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is actually so rich, it truly lives up to its reputation as a Holy Land. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi at the foot of the mountain alone is even richer than in my Sect’s Forbidden Ground.”

At the foot of the mountain, a young female Disciple immediately revealed a look of envy.

Her name was Xu Lei, and her Sect was a second-rate force. Although it controlled a lower domain, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was pitifully scarce, and the Sect’s foundation was extremely weak.

It simply couldn't compare to Tai Xuan Sect.

The middle-aged Martial Artist beside her also clicked his tongue, but as a Revered Master, he naturally couldn't appear as inexperienced as his Disciple.

He stroked his beard: “One of the five Great Sacred Grounds under Heaven, how could it be an undeserved reputation?”

“Today is the enthronement ceremony for the Tai Xuan Sect Saint. All major forces under Heaven have come to observe the ceremony. This is a true top-tier Prodigy, a Human Race Dragon.”

After speaking, the middle-aged Martial Artist couldn't help but show a hint of envy on his face.

These words immediately made Xu Lei, who was beside him, incredibly excited.

“Revered Master, let’s go in quickly. I want to see what kind of demeanor this Tai Xuan Sect Saint possesses!”

“Alright, I am also quite curious.”

After all, a Sect force of his level simply wasn't qualified to speak with Su Changqing as an equal.

As he spoke, the Revered Master and Disciple handed over their invitations and then quickened their steps up the mountain.

At this moment, on the Main Peak.

Countless Martial Artists gathered here.

Most of them were Sect Masters and Elders from various forces, as well as some top-tier Disciples from major forces.

To put it bluntly, today's Tai Xuan Sect gathered almost half of the top-tier combat power of the Heavenly Martial Continent.

The Martial Artists looked around, trying to find traces of the Saint, but no one found him.

Just then, a voice came.

“The Sect Master of Wuji Demon Sect arrives!”

“……”

A huge voice echoed throughout Tai Xuan Sect, from top to bottom. Countless Martial Artists were first stunned, and then stared blankly at the distant sky.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe stood beside a delicate-looking young woman.

“Oh my god, Sect Leader Wei Shengwu of the Wuji Demon Sect actually came in person!!”

“Hiss, the one next to him seems to be the Limitless Demon Sect Holy Maiden, Wei Ranzhi. She is truly a beauty among mortals.”

“Isn’t that right? Her appearance is in no way inferior to Fairy Gu of Tai Xuan Sect!”

“Holy crap, even these two came to the Tai Xuan Sect Saint’s enthronement ceremony.”

“……”

The Martial Artists looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.

No other reason, the name of Sect Leader Wei Shengwu of the Wuji Demon Sect was simply too famous.

His cultivation was heaven-reaching, he killed without batting an eye, and his fierce reputation was well-known. A slight displeasure could lead to the slaughter of a Sect.

“Sect Master Mo, congratulations.”

As soon as Wei Shengwu arrived, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he greeted Mo Ming.

The two were Martial Artists of the same era, their strengths were comparable, and they had known each other since they were young.

Mo Ming said with a chuckle:

“Sect Leader Wei’s personal presence is truly an honor for my Tai Xuan Sect. Come, please take the main seat.”

Saying this, Mo Ming made a gesture of invitation.

Wei Shengwu was not pretentious, and with a chuckle, he pulled Wei Ranzhi to sit down.

The five Great Sacred Grounds sat in the main seats, followed by first-rate forces, and then second-rate forces, clearly demarcated.

As soon as Wei Shengwu sat down, a voice came again.

“The Head of Nangong Family arrives!”

“The Sect Leader of Tian Jian Sect arrives!”

The next moment, two streaks of light approached from a distance.

They were Nangong Bo, the Head of Nangong Family, bringing Nangong Ling, and the Sect Leader of Tian Jian Sect, bringing Lin Xuanyi.

The two figures once again attracted the attention of countless Martial Artists.

These were true giants.

Existences whose single word could determine the direction of the entire Heavenly Martial Continent.

After greeting Mo Ming and Wei Shengwu, the Head of Nangong Family and the Sect Leader of Tian Jian Sect took their seats.

“Amitabha, Benefactor Mo, long time no see.”

After reciting a Buddhist chant, the abbot of Zen Heart Temple, bringing the Buddhist Disciple Wuchen, arrived at Tai Xuan Sect.

Everyone was already stunned.

Although they all knew that the other Four Great Sacred Grounds would send people to observe the ceremony, they didn't expect that all the spokespersons of the Four Great Sacred Grounds had arrived.

Moreover, even the strongest Prodigies of the younger generation from the Four Great Sacred Grounds were present.

“Holy crap, these are all the leaders of the five Great Sacred Grounds, and they all came in person.”

“Hiss, these are all Saint Realm Experts. If they stomp their feet, the entire Heavenly Martial Continent will tremble.”

“Oh my god, such terrifying Qi.”

“……”

This was too terrifying.

Countless Martial Artists' hearts pounded.

For them, this might be a grand occasion they would never see in their lifetime.

Xu Lei sat in the back row, staring blankly at the figures of those powerful individuals in front, her eyes filled with curiosity.

“Revered Master, are these the Saint Realm Experts? They seem so powerful.”

“Yes, these are all top-tier powerhouses.”

Xu Lei’s Revered Master showed respect, his eyes full of envy.

Mo Ming smiled faintly:

“Great Master Venerable Master Huineng, please take the main seat.”

Venerable Master Huineng was the Dharma name of the abbot of Zen Heart Temple.

“Good!”

Venerable Master Huineng nodded with a smile, just about to lead Wuchen to their seats, when Wei Shengwu’s voice leisurely came.

“Yo, old monk, you’re here too. Tsk tsk tsk, you’re so old, you don’t have many years left, do you?”

Listening to Wei Shengwu’s voice, Venerable Master Huineng instinctively frowned slightly.

Wuji Demon Sect and Zen Heart Temple were like fire and water; the two great forces had always been at odds.

“Benefactor Wei, the Killing Intent on your body is still strong. If you continue like this, there will be disaster. Why not come to my Zen Heart Temple, accompany the ancient Buddha with a lamp, and wash away the hostility on your body.”

“Pah!”

Wei Shengwu directly spat.

“Old monk, you’re truly hypocritical.”

“This venerable one has killed countless people, and your Zen Heart Temple has also killed many, haven’t you? You just have to be so sanctimonious, it’s truly ridiculous.”

Wei Shengwu scoffed, his eyes full of disdain.

Zen Heart Temple, being able to firmly sit as one of the five Great Sacred Grounds, had naturally also killed countless people. Otherwise, how could it possibly firmly sit as one of the five Great Sacred Grounds?

It was just that these monks were good at disguising themselves and packaging themselves well.

“Amitabha.”

Venerable Master Huineng recited a Buddhist chant, no longer speaking, and then sat down with Wuchen.

Wei Shengwu glanced at him disdainfully, then sneered:

“Old geezer, truly hypocritical. Pah.”

Wei Ranzhi saw her father’s appearance, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, forming an arc.

Like her father, she had no interest in these bald donkeys.

Tai Xuan Sect, from top to bottom, was filled with countless Martial Artists, all of whom were the spokespersons of various forces.

Half an hour passed quickly.

All the Martial Artists present were seated in their original places.

“Father, why hasn’t this Tai Xuan Sect Saint arrived yet? He’s still putting on airs in front of so many people. In my opinion, he’s probably scared.”

Nangong Ling said with a sneer.

Nangong Bo, the Head of Nangong Family, who was beside him, frowned slightly and reprimanded in a low voice:

“Ling’er, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Oh.”

Although Nangong Ling agreed verbally, her face was still full of disdain.

A mere Martial Artist of the Earthly Fiend Realm, was he worthy of becoming the Tai Xuan Sect Saint and sitting as his equal?

Was he worthy?

Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd.

“Look quickly, what is that?”
