Chapter 322: Chapter 288 Void Heaven Sword Valley
When Ye Chen arrived at Immeasurable Peak with Jiang Yao and Mu Qingqing, there were already over a hundred thousand people gathered around!
A hundred thousand people.
Even though Immeasurable Peak towered several thousand feet high, a huge mountain spanning the earth and piercing the sky, the mountain peak and the space around it were densely packed with figures.
Among these figures, there were over seventy thousand martial artists at the Spirit Sea Realm alone, and even more—forty to fifty thousand—at the Rotating Pill Realm; there were even over thirty Heavenly Saints present!
Just one glance at the number of powerful figures gathered was astonishing, not to mention the suffocating aura emanated by each of them.
Even Ye Chen and Jiang Yao couldn't help marveling at the sight of so many powerful figures converging around Immeasurable Peak.
The millennium gathering!
Indeed, it was the millennium gathering!
The two grand events organized by the Heavenly Sacred Palace had drawn countless martial artists from the Central Domain, the Southern Territory, the Western Wilderness, the outer islands of the Eastern Star Region, and the Northern Ice Palace's snowy plains, truly deserving of the title 'Monstrous Gathering'.
Countless martial artists might not witness such a grand gathering in their lifetimes, let alone participate in it.
Being able to come to Immeasurable Mountain and witness such a grand occasion firsthand, even if many didn't participate or didn't achieve good results, it would still be worth treasuring immensely.
Ye Chen and Jiang Yao watched the teeming figures all around the mountain, listened to the roiling clamor, and thought of the two grand events that were about to take place, a feeling of excitement stirring within them at the thought of truly matching skills with countless martial artists.
After taking a deep breath, the two flew up with Mu Qingqing, heading towards the expanse of space above Immeasurable Peak.
As Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and Mu Qingqing flew toward the airspace above Immeasurable Mountain, they attracted a lot of attention. When people began to recognize their identities, even more eyes gathered upon the trio. Continue reading stories on M V L
At that moment, Ye Chen was dressed in light blue robes, his figure tall and lean, hair cascading down his back, brows like swords and eyes like stars, but it was the transcendent confidence and grace he carried that made countless young female martial artists below scream in admiration!
Mu Qingqing and Jiang Yao, who were accompanying Ye Chen, also attracted numerous gazes.
Mu Qingqing, wearing a suit of tight emerald garments, accentuated her straight legs, making them appear even more well-rounded and shapely. Looking upward, one could see her slender, sexy waist, her full and enticing bosom, and her swan-like, elegant snow-white neck. Especially those charming and cunning eyes set in her exquisitely beautiful face—they made it hard for one to look away.
Mu Qingqing was already a girl of astonishing beauty, but when many eyes drifted to Jiang Yao in her white dress next to Mu Qingqing, a gasp of astonishment rose from deep within them.
Jiang Yao did not possess the coquettish allure of Mu Qingqing, but her ethereal, tranquil elegance was even more captivating. Not even Mu Qingqing could compare to Jiang Yao's visage; in her presence, she seemed to pale somewhat.
Her exquisitely delicate face was free of blemish, skin like snow, a noble nose, rosy lips, and cheeks adorned with faint dimples, all emanating breathtaking beauty. Especially her faint brows, long eyelashes, and those starry, brightly sparkling eyes were mesmerizing.
Seeing Mu Qingqing, and then Jiang Yao, and then Ye Chen beside the two stunning girls, many people felt immense envy for Ye Chen.
Having one such beautiful girl by one's side was already the envy of many; two of such beauty, especially the most beautiful Jiang Yao, who held Ye Chen's hand, made countless young martial artists unable to hide their jealousy!
When Liu Qingmei noticed Ye Chen's group arriving and flew toward Ye Chen, seeing a third beautiful girl joining Ye Chen's side made many young martial artists howl with envy in their hearts: "It's so unjust!"
While Ye Chen was unaware of these young martial artists' thoughts, he looked towards the approaching Liu Qingmei with a smile and greeted her.
"Ye Chen!"
"Ye Chen, you're here!"
Once the four of them entered the airspace above Immeasurable Mountain, even more people flocked toward Ye Chen.
Among these were martial artists from the Southern Territory, those newly acquainted with Ye Chen from the Central Domain, and even many from the Tai'a Sword Sect, a third-rank sword sect, were approaching Ye Chen.
In no time, a large crowd had gathered around Ye Chen.
Witnessing the bustling scene around Ye Chen's group, in a corner of the void, in the area where the martial artists from the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness were gathered, many were wrestling with complicated feelings. Their eyes betrayed a mix of jealousy and fear as they looked at Ye Chen.
These people were the same group that Ye Chen had dominated earlier in the plaza, including Bai Wuchen, the strongest participant from the Western Wilderness on this occasion.
On the plaza, Ye Chen had single-handedly suppressed over a hundred of them with just his individual power. Even Bai Wuchen, with two other powerful combatants, had been repelled by Ye Chen. In the end, even the arrival of a Heavenly Saint didn't work in their favor, making the Western Wilderness representatives feel extremely frustrated.
What they feared even more was Ye Chen's potential.
Being so formidable in the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, it was daunting to imagine how powerful Ye Chen would become once he stepped into the Rotating Pill or Heavenly Saint Realm. By that time, the Western Wilderness might no longer have the courage to provoke the Southern Territory!
Disciples from the Western Wilderness were consumed with complex emotions, and among the void of Immeasurable Peak, numerous figures watched Ye Chen with eyes gleaming brightly.
"Ye Chen!"
"So this is the youth!"
In the crowd, the lean Lu Xiaojia caressed the sword in his hand, a fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.
"I heard that at the square, he alone overpowered more than a hundred from the Western Wilderness, and even consecutively executed several immensely powerful high-level sword formations. This time, at the Spirit Sea Realm's Sword Fighting Conference, he could very likely be my greatest opponent!"
"I, Lu Xiaojia, have never met my match among the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Cultivators of the four major third-rank Sword Sects. This time, I want to see if this Ye Chen's swordsmanship is stronger than mine!"
While the fighting spirit blazed in Lu Xiaojia's eyes, on the other side of the crowd, the solitary Mo Beiling also fixed her gaze on Ye Chen, "Hmm, is this the youth Ye Chen that I've been hearing about incessantly since coming to Immeasurable Mountain?"
"To be able to overpower an end-stage Rotating Pill powerhouse while only in the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, this in itself is far superior to me!"
"But in the Sword Fighting Conference of the Spirit Sea Realm, it's all about sword technique, and I believe that in swordsmanship, he definitely can't beat me!"
As Mo Beiling spoke, the green sword light in her tightly clenched right fist flickered wildly!
However, she suppressed the outward force of this green sword light, and no one noticed her abnormality, not even the other Sword Cultivators beside her sensed the slightest fluctuation.
While Ye Chen conversed with several Martial Artists, and as countless Martial Artists took notice of Ye Chen, wanting to spar with him, and even more Martial Artists were making final preparations for the start of the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Conference, the moment for the official start of the event finally arrived.
Boom!
The appointed moment marking the start of the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Conference came, and everyone took notice as the summit of Immeasurable Peak suddenly thundered with the sound of surging air waves.
Amidst the roar of the air waves, the void canvas was torn apart, and a dozen figures emerged from the summit of Immeasurable Mountain.
Leading these dozen figures was none other than the vice hall master of the first sacred hall of Heavenly Sacred Palace and the Supreme Elder of Tai'a Sword Sect, Xiao Jiukong!
Alongside Elder Xiao Supreme Elder stood three mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses, who, by the look of their vestments, were unmistakably from Heavenly Sacred Palace!
"Ye Chen, Sister Jiang Yao, the other three beside Elder Xiao are the three great Heavenly Saints from Heavenly Saint Mountain who have come to participate and preside over the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Conference and the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition," Mu Qingqing introduced these three great Heavenly Saints to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.
Accompanying Elder Xiao Supreme Elder and the three great Heavenly Saints from Heavenly Sacred Palace were also four early-stage Heavenly Saints.
Ye Chen recognized only one of the four, who was from the Tai'a Sword Sect, the Nine Swords Heavenly Saint.
However, through the words of the Martial Artists beside him, Ye Chen learned that the other three were from the other three third-rank Sword Sects in the Central Region.
All four major third-rank Sword Sects of the Central Region had sent Heavenly Saints to this place!
Behind the eight great Heavenly Saints were the nine Rotating Pill Masters presiding over this Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Conference, among whom were the Snow Jade of the Immeasurable Sword Sect from the Central Region, the Wine Sword Immortal that Ye Chen was quite familiar with from the Southern Territory, the Dried Mountain Daoist from the Western Wilderness, the Sky Brow Daoist from the Eastern Star Bound Archipelago, and so on.
However, with the participation of Heavenly Sacred Palace and the four major third-rank Sword Sects in this Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Conference, the nine Rotating Pill Masters presiding were now not drawing as much attention.
Almost all eyes were drawn to the Heavenly Saints, especially fixed upon Elder Xiao Supreme Elder standing at the forefront.
Amidst the countless gazes, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder looked at the people, and when his eyes landed on Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and Mu Qingqing, his gaze paused for a moment, revealing a faint smile.
After Elder Xiao Supreme Elder glanced around at everyone, he finally nodded and gently said toward Snow Jade among the nine Rotating Pill Masters presiding over the event, "Snow Jade, you preside over this sword fighting conference."
Hum!
Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's voice was soft, yet it reached the ears of every Martial Artist.
In an instant, all around Immeasurable Peak, the Martial Artists burst into excitement.
Snow Jade presiding over the conference!
The Sword Fighting Conference was finally about to begin!
Amidst numerous excited gazes and the low yet irrepressible chatter, Snow Jade paid his respects to Elder Xiao Supreme Elder with a bow and took the lead, responding to the call.
He addressed the countless Martial Artists in the void and on the mountain peaks, proclaiming, "The sword fighting conference this time marks the first participation of the four major third-rank Sword Sects in the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Conference after two thousand three hundred forty-three years!"
"Usually, the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Conference takes place in the void at the summit of Immeasurable Peak. This time, the event will return to the location where it was held over two thousand years ago—the 'Void Heaven Sword Valley' of Immeasurable Peak!"
