After the teleportation formation stabilized, Shen Tian smiled and said, “Let’s go!”
He did not want to waste time and wanted to head to the Prodigy Competition as soon as possible.
Shen Tian held Shen Xiao’s tiny hands, flew into the air, and walked into the void passageway.
Seeing that suddenly there was another young girl, Ao Lie was slightly stunned.
He murmured, “This little girl is extraordinary. That mist around her, just what is that? Why is it so terrifying?”
Ao Lie was astonished.
He felt that Shen Xiao was an indescribable mystery.
He could not help but guess just which hidden family she was from.
Not only is Brother Shen Yuan powerful, but he has also brought along a little girl with such fearsome talent!
He could not figure it out at all!
…
No matter how Ao Lie wrecked his brain, he could not think just which force could have such a prodigy.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian had already traveled quite a distance.
“Eh, Brother Shen Yuan, wait for me!” Ao Lie shouted as he hurriedly chased up to him.
The teleportation formation was instantly activated, and a vast, mighty strength was emitted.
Space was distorted, and the divine energy surged.
When the light flashed, the three of them disappeared.
…
They arrived outside Middle Ground’s Heavenly Gate Mountain!
The void surged while heaven and earth were torn apart by the magnificent peerless power as a hazy portal appeared.
Afterward, three figures walked out of the void.
Those three were Shen Tian and his party.
Shen Tian had directly set the teleportation point at the location Ao Lie had provided him.
They could then save a lot of time and also be in time for the Prodigy Competition.
Once the three of them arrived, they discovered that this land was extraordinary.
A towering mountain was floating in front of them that reached into the clouds; it looked grand and majestic.
The whole mountain was shining and covered by dense fog.
Endless laws were pouring down from the sky, enshrouding the whole place.
This land was just like a fairyland as the clouds surrounded it, making the whole place look heavenly.
There was an entrance at the foot of the mountain.
Divine light shone brilliantly and overflowed in all directions—it was as mysterious and unpredictable as the gate to heaven.
Stepping into this place was extremely dreamy, like the heavens itself.
This place was the divine mountain—Heavenly Gate Mountain.
Seeing the mountain, Shen Xiao was astounded.
She exclaimed, “Master, this place is so peculiar, a special law surrounds it!”
Shen Xiao discovered that this land was exceptional, completely different from the outer world.
Astonishment could be seen in Ao Lie’s eyes. He had never expected such a young child to be able to see through what this place was special for.
He smiled and explained, “Rumors say that the Heavenly Gate Mountain is the gate to the Celestial World. Unfortunately, it fell into the mortal world with the five regions after a calamity.
“This land is filled with the laws of the Heavenly Dao. Even the peerless Evil Spirit cultivators do not dare to get close to this place.
“This place is the most suitable for the Prodigy Competition!”
The Heavenly Gate Mountain had a long history, and there was once a powerful cultivator that had presided over it.
If Heavenly Dao laws were surrounding one, then it could protect one from all evils.
Shen Tian nodded. The five regions were closely related to the Celestial World, so it was normal for Celestial World remains to be there.
This Heavenly Gate Mountain was indeed extraordinary. It was not only a mountain but also a world of its own.
Ao Lie said excitedly, “Brother Shen Yuan, let’s enter!”
He was already eager to battle with other prodigies.
…
The three of them entered Heavenly Gate Mountain. It was as if they had entered another world.
The heaven and earth spun, and the scenery changed drastically. All kinds of auspicious signs appeared, and countless laws descended. It was a gorgeous and dazzling scene.
The clouds and sea surged; the fog was boundless. It was as if they were in a fairyland surrounded by clouds that would make one linger on with no intent to leave.
The surrounding landscape was beautiful. It was just like a paradise with white cranes dancing in the air.
Once they entered this land, everyone felt relaxed as if they were in a sea of Spirit Qi.
This place was just too exceptional, far surpassing normal sacred grounds. If they could cultivate in this land, they definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
…
The three of them continued advancing and finally reached the peak.
It was packed with countless people.
Cultivators could be seen everywhere, and it was extremely lively and thriving.
Everyone was extremely young. They were only around 100 years old, but their auras were extremely powerful.
Most of them had broken through to the Soul Formation stage, and there were even True Sages.
It could be said to be a gathering of prodigies in the five regions.
There were prodigies of different races with different shapes.
There were some shining with silver light as if they were coated with silver, the Silver Spirit race.
There were even some where their upper half was human while their lower half was that of a horse, the Centaur race.
There were even some with a halo above their head and had angel wings, the Angel race.
However, the largest in numbers were still the humans and demons.
The various prodigies gathered, so the atmosphere was extremely lively. They were all waiting for the Prodigy Competition to begin, so they were discussing with others.
…
Once Ao Lie entered this place, his eyes lit up.
This place had a great attraction to him, so it naturally thrilled him.
Ao Lie hurriedly ran to those prodigies and asked, “Brother, could we spar?
“I see that you’re very powerful. Do you want to spar?
“Is there anyone that wants to spar with me? Come on, come on!”
Those prodigies’ mouths twitched when they smiled bitterly.
They had all heard of the name of the Dragon Prince Ao Lie.
As the Dragon God Palace’s prince with Rank-12 Black Dragon bloodline, his talent and strength were one of the top even in the whole five regions.
More importantly, Ao Lie loved battling with others, and he would not hold back at all.
Any prodigy who fought with Ao Lie would be injured.
Therefore, everyone would only feel a chill down their spines once he targeted them.
As such, many people would avoid Ao Lie like he was a plague once they met him.
Ao Lie lost interest and could not help but murmur, “Why isn’t anyone willing to spar with me?
“Sigh… Being invincible is lonely!”
…
At that moment, the void surged.
The space distorted and emitted vast energy of voids.
A purple-clothed man walked out. He seemed mysterious and unfathomable, as if he had merged with heaven and earth.
His skin was as fair as jade and handsome, glowing with vitality.
He was so ethereal that even women would be envious of him.
He held an ancient mirror like he had lifted the world in his hands, emitting a formidable aura.
Everyone was astonished.
“A peerless prodigy has arrived!”
“That’s… Sheng Yangxu from the Great Void Sacred Ground!”
“The mirror in his hand, could it be the supreme artifact Ancient Void Mirror?”
The title of the Great Void Saint was renown in the five regions.
Once he appeared, countless prodigies were in awe.
There were quite a few female prodigies that blushed.
“Sheng Yangxu!”
“Sheng Yangxu!”
“Sheng Yangxu!”
They were immersed in the unparalleled handsomeness of Sheng Yangxu and became his fan.
…
Afterward, another light shone again.
In the distance, the void was instantly shattered into powder as an imposing figure walked out of it, shaking heaven and earth.
The void would be crushed with each step he took.
Behind him, a fearsome avatar appeared and covered the whole sky.
A huge pupil with countless complicated Dao patterns shone upon the ground.
With just a look, it could completely silence a person.
At the same time, an ancient and savage aura was emitted. It was as if wreaking havoc to heaven and earth.
That person was like a natural Sage that could make heaven and earth submit.
“It’s the Dicoria Cultivator!”
“Xiang Zhonglou of the Primordial Family has also arrived!”
The Dicoria Cultivator was also renowned and feared by countless people.
His cultivation was Ten Tribulation Mighty Sage, but he had killed a 14 Tribulation Sub-Immortal before. Such battle prowess was simply frightening!
Once Xiang Zhonglou appeared, he directly charged to the Apotheosis Platform.
The Apotheosis Platform was a supreme platform of the Heavenly Gate Mountain.
According to rumors, this platform was created by a peerless cultivator, and even gods and Perfected Immortal had sparred on it before.
This time, the main venue of this Prodigy Competition was the Apotheosis Platform.
Xiang Zhonglou stood on top of the Apotheosis Platform and looked toward Sheng Yangxu. “Yangxu, come up and spar.”
Sheng Yangxu’s face darkened.
He shouted, “Xiang Zhonglou, I hate others calling me that1!
“Can’t you add my surname?”
Xiang Zhonglou opened his mouth calmly. “Then I’ll call you Sheng Xu!”
Sheng Yangxu’s body trembled vigorously. “Can’t you just call me by my full name?”
Xiang Zhonglou shook his head. “No!”
Sheng Yangxu stomped his foot from anger and cursed, “F*ck, you just know how to run your mouth, I’ll kill you!”
He lifted his Ancient Void Mirror and threw it toward Xiang Zhonglou.
In that instant, the whole sky darkened.
The Ancient Void Mirror had covered the whole sky and pressed toward Xiang Zhonglou with mighty strength.
The fabrics of space instantly crumbled into ruins.
Xiang Zhonglou was still composed as divine light could be seen shining in his eyes.
The Dicoria avatar behind him shone brightly upon the sky and emitted an endless divine aura.
The two of them fought, and the impact from the battle was earth-shaking as if it could destroy the world and tear through space.
Everyone could not help but gulp down their saliva. The two of them were just too ferocious, using their ultimate skills right at the start.
If it was not for the fact that the Apotheosis Platform’s formation was sturdy, it might even be destroyed by the both of them.
…
Afterward, illusions could be seen in the sky.
Auspicious signs appeared, and golden rain filled the sky.
A huge mighty carriage flew rapidly from the sky.
In front of the carriage, there were 18 Primordial Wyrms which emitted an imposing aura that could shake heaven and earth as if they dominated the eight wildernesses.
Those Wyrms had dragon bloodline and were extremely powerful; each and every one of them had reached the Sage level.
However, such powerful beings had become beasts that pulled a carriage.
This was simply too extravagant!
Everyone’s eyes were filled with astonishment. “This is the carriage of the Jade Void Palace!”
“Using 18 Primordial Wyrms to pull the carriage, aren’t they afraid of offending those aggressive dragons from Dragon God Palace?”
“However, I heard that the Jade Void Palace was originally on bad terms with the Dragon God Palace, and the conflict runs deep.”
“Also, with the power of the Jade Void Palace, they certainly do not need to be afraid of the Dragon God Palace.”
Everyone was shocked and exclaimed that the Jade Void Palace was really daring.
Then someone else asked out of worry, “But the Dragon Prince is here.”
“Looks like another large-scale battle will erupt!”
Indeed, Ao Lie’s eyes instantly turned cold.
He leaped into the air straight through the sky.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar echoed through the skies!
An extremely domineering dragon aura spread throughout the whole area.
In an instant, those 18 Wyrms were oppressed by their bloodline as they shivered. This was the oppression from within their soul originating from their bloodline!
The 18 Wyrms stopped moving, and the carriage also stopped in its tracks, floating in mid-air.
Ao Lie said coldly, “Wang Xuzi, are you looking for a battle?”
Wang Xuzi was completely looking down on the Dragon race by doing so.
The human race might be able to tolerate it, but the Dragon race could not!
…
A breath-taking figure walked out of the carriage and looked down upon everyone. He wore an ancient Daoist robe and seemed indifferent toward everything as if nothing could move him.
Once that person appeared, a powerful Dao surged out and caused the ground to tremble as laws surrounded him.
He had caused the Heavenly Dao to pour down as if he could control the powers of heaven and earth.
That person was Wang Xuzi, who had the Connate Constitution.
Wang Xuzi said calmly, “You’re not my opponent!”
Ao Lie laughed instead of flying into a rage. “Impertinent! You seem to have forgotten who it was that had escaped frantically from my hands.”
It was obvious that Wang Xuzi and Ao Lie had some kind of conflict long ago.
However, Wang Xuzi was still extremely composed as he replied, “Things are now different from what they were.
“I have already understood 90% of the Dao in this world and am invincible.
“You are nothing to fear!”
Wang Xuzi was extremely arrogant and thought nothing of Ao Lie at all.
…
Everyone else’s mouth twitched as they witnessed such a scene.
Ao Lie had a Rank-12 Black Dragon bloodline and was also a peerless prodigy.
Was it really okay for him to ignore such a peerless prodigy?
Ao Lie was not enraged. “Looks like in the few years I have not beat you up, you think that you can defeat me again?
“Very well, I’ll have fun playing with you then!
“To the Apotheosis Platform!”
Ao Lie leaped into the air and flew toward the Apotheosis Platform.
Wang Xuzi’s expression did not change as he drifted forward. His speed was extremely fast, and he had appeared opposite of Ao Lie in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the two were about to battle, everyone was interested.
One could benefit greatly from looking at peerless prodigies’ battles.
…
Besides them, other peerless prodigies also appeared and caused battles to erupt, such as the young Kun Peng with the Yin-Yang Wings had already started fighting with the Immortal Phoenix race’s Huang Jiutian.
Numerous other peerless prodigies had chosen their opponents long ago.
Once they appeared, they started battling without wasting any time.
Time was priceless!
Instantly, an endless divine light shone from the Apotheosis Platform.
A fearsome aura swept through the whole platform, which was terrifying.
The battles on the Apotheosis Platform were very frightening as they were all activating peerless arts that caused heaven and earth to resonate.
Laws would surround them orderly and burst out endless divine energy.
No one would dare get close to Sage cultivators when battling.
…
Shen Tian’s eyes shone even brighter as he witnessed this. He discovered that the arts those prodigies cultivated were all from the 108 Heavenly Generals.
3
Also, their cultivation levels were all very high, around Mighty Sage at the age of just a few hundred years old.
Such battle prowess was much stronger than during his generation.
It looked like the future generation was not as bad as he imagined.
…
Almost 100 prodigies were battling on the Apotheosis Platform. The scene was so grand that everyone was dumbfounded.
Shen Xiao asked out of curiosity, “Master, do you think they’re strong?”
Shen Tian nodded and replied calmly, “They’re all very powerful. They can be counted as the top powerful cultivators in this generation.”
Shen Xiao shook her head and said, “I think they’re not as powerful as Master. Master is the most awesome person I’ve seen!”
Shen Xiao’s tone was resolute and filled with trust and admiration.
However, her words attracted the attention of the surrounding prodigies.
Everyone turned to look at Shen Tian.
When they saw Shen Tian’s appearance, they were all stunned.
“There’s actually such a handsome man in this world.”
“Could he be an immortal that has descended to the mortal world?”
“Such handsomeness is unparalleled!”
Countless people were astonished and were subdued under Shen Tian’s good looks.
Especially female prodigies, they could not help but exclaim, “Such a handsome guy, he is even more handsome than Sheng Yangxu!”
“I’ve become his fan, so handsome!”
“Does he have a Dao Companion?”
The female prodigies’ eyes were filled with craze and infatuation.
There were even some daring ones that could not help but want to pounce onto Shen Tian.
In an instant, the numerous surrounding male prodigies’ faces turned green.
Someone said out of jealousy, “So what if he’s handsome? Can he survive on it?”
The surrounding female prodigies instantly retorted, “Oh yes, he really can!”
The crowd, “…”
Someone scoffed. “That little girl said he’s stronger than all the prodigies present?
“What a joke, those prodigies are the top in the five regions.”
“Just this pretty boy worthy of being compared to those top prodigies?”
“He’s just bluffing.”
“Having a little girl build up a reputation for him? He’s too thick-skinned.”
They did not want Shen Tian to attract too much attention, so they tried their best to belittle him.
There were some who also sneered. “It’s just a child’s babble. There’s no need to be serious.”
“What could a little child be scheming? She only wants her Master to show off.”
“Everyone, let’s not expose him. He would want face too!”
In an instant, mocking voices could be heard everywhere.
…
Although Shen Tian did not mind, the surrounding female prodigies were enraged.
“How do you have the face to talk about others? You’re a coward yourself!”
“Don’t speak so much nonsense. Go up to the Apotheosis Platform if you can!”
“…”
Women should not be trifled with, especially women who chased idols. They definitely should not be provoked. Their words hit the bullseye and made those male prodigies’ faces red.
Shen Xiao was also fumed with rage. “Master, how about you just show it to them? I believe that you’re the best!”
Shen Tian smiled faintly and replied, “Xiaoxiao, there’s no need to care about what outsiders think. Fame and fortune are just fleeting clouds. It’s more important to stay true to ourselves.”
Showing off was not something good. Shen Tian had seen through it long ago.
Also, although these people’s battle prowess was extraordinary, it was no challenge to Shen Tian at all.
Given his current battle prowess, it was enough to even kill a Perfected Immortal head-on.
Fighting with Mighty Sage prodigies was just like child’s play, so Shen Tian naturally was too lazy to make a move.
Shen Xiao did not insist after hearing Shen Tian’s words.
At that moment, a frivolous voice sounded. “I don’t agree with your thinking.”
Fearsome lightning erupted from the surroundings and shone brightly.
The light emitted from the lightning spread thousands of miles with an immense aura.
A white-clothed man surrounded by lightning and bathing in divine lightning light walked out of the void.
He was like the Lightning Emperor that had descended and controlled the Divine Lightning of heaven and earth.
The attention of the surrounding people had gathered on that person.
“It’s the Divine Firmament Saint, Jiang Taiyi!”
“He has also come!”
“Rumors say that Jiang Taiyi has already cultivated the Lightning Imperial Sutra to Greater Mastery and has killed a 15 Tribulation Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit with the supreme Divine Lightning!”
Jiang Taiyi’s appearance astonished everyone.
Meanwhile, Jiang Taiyi walked beside Shen Tian.
“Fame and fortune could be insignificant or be of great importance.
“What’s the difference between the living and dead if the living don’t leave anything behind?
“Some have died, but they go down in history with their fame. It’s just like they’re alive!
“Therefore, reputation is still important!”
The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. He had never expected that a Divine Firmament junior would try teaching him a lesson!
He spoke in a bantering manner. “Then, let’s spar?”
Shen Tian wanted to see how powerful this generation’s Saint was.
Jiang Taiyi was slightly stunned before scoffing. “You want to challenge me?
“Do you know who I am?
“I am the Divine Firmament Saint, Jiang Taiyi!
“Are you really sure you want to be struck by lightning?”
…
Jiang Taiyi originally wanted to watch the show, but he never expected Shen Tian to actually invite him for sparring.
Could it be that my reputation has declined in the few days I haven’t shown my face?
Then, it looks like I’ll have to show off my strength this time!
Strike him~
