375: Chapter 19 Prelude to the Grand Ritual of Luo Tian

Regarding the question of "whether he could still condense a new Primordial Qi seed while possessing the Beiming Fish," Meng Li quickly found the answer.

He could!

And there was an unexpected surprise: the seed he condensed could carry his consciousness and a portion of his abilities.

This gave Meng Li some new ideas about creating a new persona.

Perhaps he could combine the several Eight Peculiar Skills he currently mastered to create multiple personas.

As for how exactly to do it, it would take time to research and experiment.

With this, a month passed in a flash, and the Luotian Grand Ritual was about to begin.

Meng Li left "Number One," the result of his research and experiments, to guard the house. He himself disguised his appearance and headed to Longhu Mountain under the identity of a new persona...

Tianjin Airport.

Meng Li was queuing for security under his new persona when he unexpectedly heard Zhang Chulan's voice.

He looked toward the sound and saw Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Xu San, and Xu Si at the front of the line.

Zhang Chulan had just learned that Feng Baobao was participating in the Luotian Grand Ritual and was chatting with Xu Si about it while queuing.

"Sister Baoer is participating too?" Zhang Chulan first cried out in surprise, then realized the setting was inappropriate and lowered his voice to ask Xu Si, "Didn't you say only I and a few invited people are eligible to participate?"

Xu Si replied, "The rules changed temporarily. Now all Outcasts under thirty can participate in the selection."

Zhang Chulan's mouth twitched: "In that case, how many people do I have to eliminate to get selected?"

Xu Si said, "That's why Baoer is also participating. She's your sweeper, responsible for helping you take care of all the troublesome opponents."

Zhang Chulan suddenly looked delighted: "Now that you put it that way, I suddenly feel like I've got a cheat code."

Just as he finished speaking, Feng Baobao, who was ahead of him, triggered the security alarm while passing through.

The security officer said, "Please take out the items on your person."

"Oh." Feng Baobao agreed, and a sharp knife slid out of her sleeve into her hand, pointed right at the security officer.

Zhang Chulan's expression froze.

What the hell, bringing a knife to a flight?

Xu Si's expression changed drastically: "Crap, I forgot to help Baoer pack her things."

The security officer was startled and said tremblingly, "You... you come with us. Guard! Call the guards!"

Soon, Feng Baobao was taken away by the arriving guards. Before leaving, she shouted to Xu Si, "Xu Si, remember to bail me out!"

Xu Si covered his face and took out his phone to start calling his connections to get her out.

Encountering another famous scene, Meng Li felt amused.

After enjoying the show, he passed through security and boarded the plane shortly after, then headed straight for Longhu Mountain as planned.

Once he arrived, Meng Li looked around and saw a bustling crowd. He casually bought some snacks, watching the sights and eating as he walked.

During this time, he spotted Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and their group, as well as Wang Ye, and the Old Celestial Master and Zhang Lingyu, who were accompanying visiting officials.

Because he was using a new persona, Meng Li didn't go over to greet them. He just took a glance and headed toward the back mountain on his own.

Before long, he reached the cliff that separated the Front Mountain from the back mountain.

The cliff was separated by more than ten meters. There was no bridge in the middle, only a few ropes tied to wooden stakes.

This was intentionally set up by the Celestial Masters Residence.

First, it was to separate Outcasts from ordinary people.

A distance of over ten meters isn't far; most Outcasts can cross it with ease. But for ordinary people, it's very difficult—enough to make them turn back.

Second, it was to screen the Outcasts coming to participate in the Luotian Grand Ritual.

If they couldn't even cross this distance of ten-plus meters, participating in the selection for the Luotian Grand Ritual would be pointless. They might as well go home and go to bed early.

Many Outcasts had arrived at the scene. Meng Li wasn't in a hurry to cross for the moment. He finished off the snacks in his hand while watching them use their various methods with an amused interest.

Someone took a running start and jumped, leaping nearly twenty meters and landing steadily on the other side.

A large man threw his daughter like a discus and jumped from the spot, but was attacked mid-air. He was stomped down the cliff, leaving only a lingering echo: "Wife, I was wrong!"

The attacker landed in front of the daughter, adjusted her glasses, and responded coldly: "If you ever dare to play with our daughter as a discus again, I'll skin you alive!"

This scene made Meng Li chuckle.

Not far away, Zhang Chulan's mouth was twitching. He then chose the most simple method—grabbing the rope and climbing across!

Meng Li glanced over, not caring about the other's act of hiding his strength. He wiped his mouth, threw the bamboo skewers and packaging into the trash can, and then leaped across to the other side.

Afterward, he went to the assembly grounds and saw two familiar figures: Feng Sha Yan and Feng Xingtong.

Several other familiar faces followed:

Xiao Xiao, wearing a traditional robe and holding a folding fan.

Bai Shixue, known as the "Money Grubber."

The bespectacled girl, Zhi Jinhua.

The squinty-eyed Zhuge Qing.

Zhang Lingyu.

The fat otaku, Cang Long.

...

Before long, the older generation arrived.

The current Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters Residence, Zhang Zhiwei; his Junior Brother, Tian Jinzhong; Lu Jin; Wang Ai; Lü Ci; and Feng Zheng Hao.

Among the six, except for Tian Jinzhong, all were members of The Ten Elders.

For one Luotian Grand Ritual, half of The Ten Elders had come. Such a lineup instantly caused the crowd to gasp in surprise.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't pay much mind to it. He exchanged a few pleasantries with a smile and began to announce the selection rules for the Luotian Grand Ritual...
