Chapter 1633 - 1634: Dragon Peak Holy Mountain
The next day, Ling Feng went to pay a visit to the Biluo Saintess to learn more about the specifics of the Sunset Chosen One event.
"Ling Feng, you’ve arrived."
In the main hall of the Earth Spirit Hall, the Biluo Saintess scrutinized Ling Feng for a long moment before solemnly asking, "The person who simultaneously summoned three Imperial Gates yesterday and caused the sky anomaly, that would be you, correct?"
"Um..." Ling Feng touched his nose and slowly replied, "I suppose so."
The Biluo Saintess took a deep breath. Although she had long suspected that the person was Ling Feng, hearing his personal admission still shook her heart.
"It seems that this time, our Earth Spirit Hall will definitely shine brightly in the Sunset Chosen One event."
The Biluo Saintess showed a faint smile, gently clapped her hands, and calmly said, "All of you, come in."
Ling Feng was slightly startled and turned around, only to see five disciples entering from outside the hall, each with an imposing presence, clearly elite disciples of the Earth Spirit Hall.
"Ling Feng, after joining our Earth Spirit Hall, you went straight into secluded cultivation, so you haven’t properly gotten to know the senior brothers and sisters of the Earth Spirit Hall."
The Biluo Saintess softly introduced, "These are the disciples representing our Earth Spirit Hall in the Sunset Chosen event. Introduce yourselves to each other."
Ling Feng nodded and clasped his fists in salute to the disciples of the Earth Spirit Hall, "I am Ling Feng. Senior brothers and sisters, please guide me."
"So you are Junior Brother Ling Feng, famous indeed!"
One among them, a young man in a silver robe, stepped forward, also clasping his fists in salute to Ling Feng and said with a faint smile, "My name is Han Lin. I am ashamed to say I rank seventh among the Top Ten Young Emperors of the Inner Sect."
"Ah, Senior Brother Han." Ling Feng quickly smiled and complimented, "It’s an honor."
"Haha, among the Inner Sect, who doesn’t know that Junior Brother Ling defeated the Unrivaled Young Emperor? Although the Unrivaled Young Emperor ranks eighth, his actual combat power is definitely within the top five. I’m afraid my seventh rank pales in comparison."
"Senior Brother Han is too modest."
Ling Feng smiled faintly, feeling that Han Li was rather amicable.
"I am Lee Furen, esteemed by Junior Brother Ling’s reputation."
"My name is Luo Sanyang!"
"Dong Yueshu!"
Then, three more disciples sequentially saluted Ling Feng. Finally, a timid young girl came forward from the back of the crowd, always maintaining a ten-step distance from the brothers ahead. Upon seeing Ling Feng, she bit her silver teeth and meekly said, "Ling... Young Master Ling, no, no, Junior Brother Ling... I’m Yeu Linglong."
"Haha, Lady Yeu! No, I should call you Senior Sister Yeu from now on."
Ling Feng laughed heartily. He had a deep impression of Yeu Linglong despite her delicate appearance, for she harbored a hidden strength that could rival his Dragon Elephant Divine Power.
Although she had no ranking as a Young Emperor and no achievements on the Creation Star List, her strength... let’s say she once punched a Young Emperor into flight!
The Sunset Chosen One event, held every ten years, is a grand affair of the Three Great Sacred Lands in the Eastern Spirit Domain. So, even though Yeu Linglong dislikes combat, the Biluo Saintess wasn’t going to let go of such a powerful asset.
Then there’s Lin Mu, who has neglected cultivation. Although his strength has recently increased, he still hasn’t reached the qualification to participate in the Sunset Chosen One event.
This time, Lin Mu is destined to only be a spectator.
Hearing Ling Feng call her Senior Sister Yeu, Yeu Linglong showed a sweet smile and said cheerfully, "Great, I’m no longer the youngest!"
The Biluo Saintess shook her head with a smile before speaking, "At this Sunset Chosen event, strive to perform your best. If you secure a spot to enter Sunset Ancient City, make sure to assist one another, understood?"
"Yes, Hall Master!"
Everyone responded together loudly.
Seeing the disciples full of confidence, the Biluo Saintess paused, then reminded them, "Confidence is good, but don’t be careless. The Sunset Chosen competition is extremely fierce every year. You must compete not only with your fellow brothers and sisters, but also with those under fifty elite disciples from the external Three Imperial Sects. Their practical experience far outweighs yours, and even if you’re at the same level, you’ll gain no advantage. So, during the competition, remember: even against inferior opponents, you must exert full strength!"
"The disciples will remember." Everyone nodded repeatedly, and the Biluo Saintess’s expression relaxed slightly.
"Regarding the taboos within the Sunset Ancient City, I will explain them in detail to you later. For now, prepare well. Depart in ten days for the Dragon Peak Holy Mountain."
Ling Feng’s eyes gleamed with curiosity, "Dragon Peak Holy Mountain?"
"Hmm." The Biluo Saintess nodded slightly, "Every time the ruins of the Sunset Ancient City appear in an unpredictable location, this time it will surface at Dragon Peak Holy Mountain. Therefore, the Sunset Chosen will commence directly at Dragon Peak Holy Mountain. Once it ends, those who qualify can directly enter Sunset Ancient City to seek fortunes."
Ling Feng’s eyes sparkled with ambition - securing a spot at Sunset Ancient City is his unwavering goal!
The Biluo Saintess gave further instructions before dismissing everyone to prepare. In ten days, the sect will activate the Transmission Array to send the participating disciples directly to Dragon Peak Holy Mountain.
Of course, those wishing to spectate must either fly thousands of miles or pay a certain amount of Contribution Points to use the Transmission Array. Consequently, most financially tight disciples have already begun their journey, readying to witness the grand event.
...
Meanwhile, high above the Star Venerable Seat, the Inner Sect’s third-ranked Young Emperor Murong Bai was quietly in secluded cultivation.
"Senior Brother Murong, I hear that Ling Feng has just come out of seclusion. How about a test before the Sunset Chosen?"
A green-robed man smiled slyly at Murong Bai.
For him to be present here indicates he is also among the Top Ten Young Emperors, ranked fourth, named Helian Xiao.
On the other side was a scholarly young man in white, who calmly added, "If Senior Brother Murong made a move, Ling Feng likely wouldn’t withstand three moves."
Murong Bai slowly opened his eyes with a neutral expression, "No need. If he battles his way to me during the Sunset Chosen event, then I’ll engage him. If he falls short along the way, it will merely mean he’s not qualified for my challenge."
Helian Xiao chuckled mockingly, "I fear Senior Brother Murong won’t likely meet him at the Sunset Chosen. From his battle against Qin Zucheng, while he showed some skill, he barely matches the fourth rank. He probably wouldn’t understand the vast difference between the third and fourth ranks."
"Indeed," the scholarly young man nodded with a smile, "Qin Zucheng believes that by sacrificing his cultivation to practice a Saint Level cultivation technique, he’ll surpass the top three. But in truth, the years wasted have broadened the gap with the top contenders."
Helian Xiao laughed with disdain, "Not even considering Senior Brother Murong, Qin Zucheng might not even be my match. Ling Feng is indeed remarkable, a rising star, but he lacks foundation. Next Sunset Chosen, he may shine brightly. For now? He’s still a bit green!"
The scholarly young man smiled lightly, "In contrast, I’m more optimistic about Phantom Moon Temple’s peerless talent Tuoba Yan! Oh, she truly is phenomenal, reminiscent of the old days of Hui Yue Saintess!"
