Chapter 1208 - 1206: Immortal Su Qi
Chapter 1208 - 1206: Immortal Su Qi
Just as Lin Feng thought of this, suddenly the Family Heads of the four prominent families began to formally activate the altar!
Each of the Family Heads stood beside a stone pillar, exchanged a knowing glance, and simultaneously took out a Jade Medallion that matched the color of the dragon head in front of them, placing it in the corresponding slot on the forehead of the massive dragon head.
As soon as the Jade Medallions were placed into the slots on top of the dragon heads, a bizarre change occurred. The eyes of the four dragon heads suddenly lit up, turning the color of fresh blood, which appeared quite eerie. Immediately afterwards, a radiance corresponding to the color of each dragon head emanated from above them. Almost instantly, the light spread from the dragon heads, and in the blink of an eye, the four stone pillars emitted four dazzling, brilliant lights.
Those who had never witnessed the activation of the altar were dumbfounded at this moment. They never imagined such a magical event could occur; they stared, spellbound, as no one expected the altar’s activation to be like this...
Even Lin Feng was captivated by this extraordinary transformation. Although he had read about teleportation arrays in his master’s ancient books, the one before him was nothing like those described. His curiosity piqued, he stared intently, eager to understand the true nature of this teleportation array.
After the four stone pillars began to shimmer with light, all of the Family Heads simultaneously performed a motion, squeezing out a drop of fresh blood from their fingertips onto the Jade Medallions embedded atop the dragon heads. At that moment, an even more exaggerated phenomenon occurred!
The light from the four stone pillars suddenly became much brighter, as if connecting heaven and earth. Simultaneously, the surrounding winds howled, the clouds churned, and a tornado seemed to appear in the sky. Eventually, all the Immortal Qi and Spiritual Energy that emerged in the air rushed towards the four glowing pillars.
Witnessing such a scene left everyone present as still as statues. The spectacle was simply too magnificent, even for the Elders who had seen it before; they were not exempt from awe. Everyone’s gaze was fixated on the four shining pillars, all curious about what rewards would descend this time. The only difference was that the people of the Xia Family hoped for something beneficial, while those from the Gu and Kong families wished otherwise.
Xia Yunfeng approached Lin Feng and Xia Lalan, and said to them, "We’ll have to wait a bit longer for the rewards to descend. Lin Feng, thank you for healing the issue with Lanlan."
Xia Yunfeng looked directly at Lin Feng, expressing his gratitude. He clearly recognized that it was Lin Feng who had healed Xia Lalan, restoring her outstanding talents. Given his relationship with Xia Lalan’s grandfather, it was appropriate for him to thank Lin Feng.
"No need to thank me, it was just a small effort," responded Lin Feng with a light smile upon hearing Xia Yunfeng’s thanks, casually dismissing it. Indeed, there was no need for thanks, as he would not have ignored the problem afflicting Xia Lalan.
Xia Lalan, seeing Xia Yunfeng come over and remembering what had happened during their journey, smiled at him and said: "Elder Yunfeng, now you understand why Lin Feng was so confident, right? His strength is beyond belief unless seen with one’s own eyes."
As for Lin Feng, Xia Lalan had grown accustomed to him. There was no need for words of thanks between them, as Lin Feng couldn’t care less about such things. That’s why she proactively changed the subject.
"I understand now, I really do!" Upon hearing Xia Lalan’s words, Elder Yunfeng’s face broke into an embarrassed smile. He felt that Xia Lalan was absolutely right. Reflecting on past events, none seemed to follow the norm. Just as Xia Lalan had said, until the very last moment, no one would believe what Lin Feng could achieve. Only those who had more interactions with Lin Feng could adapt.
"Elder Yunfeng, what do you think will be bestowed this time?" Lin Feng, overhearing the chat between Xia Lalan and Xia Yunfeng, was suddenly speechless, wondering how the conversation had turned to him again. Looking at the teleportation array, he grew curious and casually inquired, to see if Xia Yunfeng might guess.
"I have no idea. I’ve participated three times, and each time the rewards were different, but definitely all were valuable. Actually, I’m very curious to know what good things will be bestowed this time. Since Lanlan has won first place in her age group, she will have the priority to choose one item," replied Xia Yunfeng with a laugh. He really didn’t know and was also quite curious about what could be rewarded this time.
"I hope it’s some kind of Dharma Treasure; I’m really in need of one right now," Xia Lalan said, her eyes lighting up at the prospect, filled with anticipation for the reward.
"Elder Yunfeng, why didn’t my grandfather come this time?"
"He’s in retreat, as you know well."
"I wonder what the Gu and Kong families are thinking right now."
"What else could they be thinking but frustration!"
...
Afterwards, Xia Lalan and Xia Yunfeng chatted idly while Lin Feng looked on, saying nothing, his gaze fixed thoughtfully on the teleportation array...
Moments passed by, the columns of light emanating from the four stone pillars gradually thickened. Suddenly, a pure white beam of light descended from the center of the tornado in the sky, striking the intersection of the four dragon pillars on the altar. Upon seeing the light descend, everyone focused on the pure white beam of light, because traditionally, the reward bestowed by Immortals was delivered through this white beam of light. For a time, they all speculated about what would be the reward this time.
The Family Heads of the four Prominent Families originally had smiles on their faces at this moment, as the descent of the white light signified that the rewards had been transmitted. However, they could never have expected that when they directed their gaze to where the white light met the black stone, they saw nothing at all!
How could this be possible?
How could this happen?
Where has the item gone? What place did it run off to?
...
Seeing that the white light did not teleport anything down, the four Family Heads were all caught off guard. None of them expected this to happen, wondering how it was possible. Where had the item gone? Such an incident had never occurred before!
For a moment, the four Family Heads looked at each other and saw confusion in each other’s eyes, making it clear that nobody understood what was going on. They were truly flabbergasted, not knowing what had happened. How could the reward have just disappeared?
Similarly, the crowd outside also noticed the expressions of the four Family Heads, finding it very strange. Why weren’t the Family Heads announcing the final competition results? And what exactly was it that had been teleported down by the Teleportation Formation...
Although Lin Feng did not look over, his Divine Sense allowed him to roughly grasp the situation. However, his attention was not focused on whether anything had been teleported, but on the changes in the aura above. His brows furrowed again, as he realized something others had not...
Just as everyone was extremely puzzled, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom!"
The white beam descending from the sky suddenly expanded, letting out an earth-shattering roar. It enveloped all four Dragon Pillars in an instant, nearly frightening the Family Heads standing by the Dragon Pillars to death. Fortunately, the white beam only expanded to the edges of the four Dragon Pillars, otherwise, it would have surrounded them as well!
An even more unbelievable scene took place. The tornado above the white beam suddenly emitted a faint golden light. Right after that, a golden orb drifted down from where the white beam and the tornado intersected, slowly descending along the beam. At this moment, everyone at the grand competition site was stunned, without a clue as to what was happening. They wondered why there was such a commotion this time, and what exactly was that golden orb...
Lin Feng also felt surprised at this moment. He did not expect that an actual Immortal would descend. He was very interested in these so-called Immortals, having learned a lot from Xia Lalan. It had been several hundred years, or even close to a thousand years, since an Immortal had descended in the Hidden World. It was quite a coincidence that he encountered one this time. It must be fate!
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the white beam suddenly disappeared, and the terrifying tornado above also dissipated. The golden orb, which was slowly descending, suddenly halted, suspending mid-air!
What’s going on?
What...what is that thing?
Why is it suspended in mid-air?
...
The people below looked up at the golden orb hanging in mid-air, not understanding what it was or why it would suddenly hover there. However, while everyone was greatly perplexed, the golden orb suddenly faded, vanishing in a blink of an eye. After the golden light of the orb disappeared, everyone was shocked to see a beautiful young woman, dressed in a dark green long dress with a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, standing in midair!
Ah! This...
Is this... is this an Immortal?
My heavens, it really is an Immortal!
...
Witnessing the beautiful woman standing in midair, everyone below was dumbfounded. No one expected an Immortal to truly descend this time. To be able to tread the air – if not an Immortal, then what? In the Hidden World, almost a thousand years had passed without an Immortal’s descent. Immortals had become a mere legend to them, and it was unbelievable that they were now witnessing a true Immortal. How had Immortals returned?
For a moment, no one knew what to do, feeling more reverence for this Immortal. That was an invincible power in the Human Immortal Realm, already beyond their wildest dreams. To put it bluntly, within a casual conversation, such a being could annihilate all of them...
Seeing the awe and envy in the eyes of the crowd below, Su Qi enjoyed it. She had heard about how the people below revered Immortals and never expected it to be true, which truly delighted her. No matter how happy she was inside, she did not show it on her face, instead, she carried an air of loftiness. With her strength, none below could rival her; she could do as she pleased, with no need for courtesy towards these people.
