Chapter 212 Gathering of Prodigies
Suddenly, a noticeable spatial anomaly appeared in the eastern sky, followed by golden runes in the air. These runes slowly transformed into a golden gate, which opened, and long streaks of light shot out from it.
Dozens of cultivators dressed in black and white Daoist robes landed on the platform suspended in the sky. These cultivators concealed their auras, almost blending into the surrounding spiritual energy. The leader was a young man with an exceptionally beautiful face but without any emotion. His hair was as black as ink, held up only by a wooden hairpin, and his eyes were as clear as an ancient icy lake, reflecting all things yet empty of anything.
He is none other than Shen Wenxin, the most talented disciple of the Supreme Forgetfulness Pavilion in this era.
Half a step behind him stood four junior brothers and sisters, each with a powerful aura, all of them top-tier Golden Immortals.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
"It's Shen Wenxin from the Supreme Forgetfulness Pavilion."
"He did come."
Shen Wenxin simply gazed at the Five Elements Mountain, as if the myriad geniuses and endless storms before her were nothing but fleeting clouds, not lingering in her heart.
Shortly after Shen Wenxin and the others appeared, a clear and melodious sword cry came from the west.
A powerful sword light streaked across the sky like a rainbow, but landed silently, transforming into several men and women with sharp and imposing auras.
The young man at the head of the group stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with a handsome face and sharp eyes that seemed to pierce the heavens. He carried an ancient longsword on his back, which, though unsheathed, emitted a dense flow of sword energy that seemed to slice through the dust within a three-foot radius around him. He was Baili Changkong, the most renowned swordsman of this generation in the Sword Sect.
"We've arrived at Baili Changkong!"
"His aura is stronger than before, and he is only half a step away from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
Beside Baili Changkong stood a pretty girl in red, her eyes bright and lively, carrying two swords on her back. She was his junior sister, the equally renowned "Crimson Phoenix Sword" Xiao Ling'er. Three other male disciples with imposing auras stood on either side, their gazes sharp as lightning, scanning the surroundings with the unique arrogance and scrutiny of sword cultivators. Their arrival seemed to have added countless invisible swords to the platform, piercing one's skin with a stinging pain.
"Boom!"
A muffled thunderclap exploded in the sky without warning, not a celestial phenomenon, but a pure and domineering thunder magic. Several figures wreathed in purple lightning arrived, led by a burly young man with short hair standing on end like steel needles.
He wore a purple robe with lightning patterns, and his eyes flashed with lightning as he opened and closed, exuding an imposing aura without anger. Zhu Li, the senior disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, was famous throughout the land for his unparalleled "Heaven-Shattering Thunder" technique.
Accompanying him were several fellow disciples, both men and women, who were equally proficient in lightning magic. Their auras were connected, subtly forming a lightning array. They made no attempt to conceal their powerful presence, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to feel slightly paralyzed.
Zhu Li's gaze swept across the vast sky, a battle-ready smile spreading across his lips, clearly regarding his opponent as a crucial adversary in this trial.
"Zhu Li, it's Zhu Li!"
Everyone was shocked. This trial was bound to be a fierce battle, and all sorts of thrilling and intense scenes of heroes vying for supremacy were destined to occur.
Suddenly, a faint, ethereal fragrance wafted through the air, carrying a captivating, enchanting power.
On the south side of the platform, the space ripples gently, like waves on water.
A dozen or so graceful and stunningly beautiful figures quietly appeared.
The woman at the head of the group wore a flowing pink dress, her figure exquisite. Her eyes sparkled, radiating charm, yet she possessed an unapproachable nobility.
Beside this woman were several equally beautiful but aloof fox-clan beauties, as well as an elderly fox-clan woman with an aura as deep as a bottomless pit, meditating with her eyes closed. The appearance of the Heavenly Fox Princess Tu Shan Jiao instantly attracted countless gazes; her innate charm and nobility caused many cultivators with weak willpower to sway their minds.
She seemed to enjoy the gaze, her jade hand lightly covering her lips, while her eyes drifted unintentionally toward the direction where Shen Wenxin and Baili Changkong were, with a hint of inquiry and amusement.
"So beautiful!"
"Is this Tu Shan Jiao, the little princess of the Celestial Fox Clan? She's so beautiful!"
Just as everyone was marveling, on guard, or fascinated, the space above the center of the platform suddenly became as pure and clear as crystal.
There was no dazzling light, no grand momentum, only an ethereal, distant, and almost "inhuman" artistic conception descending.
"Who is this?"
"What a powerful aura!"
Several figures stepped out from within.
The leader was a young man dressed in simple white robes. He was tall and slender with skin as white as jade. Most striking of all were his eyes, which had a faint, glassy hue, as if they could pierce through illusion and gaze directly into the source of existence. His aura was pure and clear, seamlessly blending with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, yet carrying a sense of detachment that transcended worldly concerns.
Kong Qing, a powerful Celestial Race member from the Cloudy Immortal Realm beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Kong Qing's arrival instantly quieted the previously bustling platform. Even Bai Li Chang Kong's sword intent, Zhu Li's thunderous might, and Tu Shan Jiao's allure seemed to be slightly isolated by that invisible "Void" domain.
His gaze swept calmly across the entire scene, lingering briefly on Mount Wuxing. Finally, his glassy eyes landed on Shen Wenxin of the Supreme Forgetfulness Pavilion, a faint, almost doubtful glint flashing across his face.
On the platform, the auras of the various elites silently collided, intertwined, and tested each other.
Shen Wenxin's "calmness", Baili Changkong's "sharpness", Zhu Li's "dominance", Tu Shanjiao's "allure", Kong Qing's "etherealness"... Before the Five Elements Mountain Trial has officially begun, this small platform has already become a miniature world where the younger generation of top figures gather.
The air was thick with tension, anticipation, and countless undercurrents.
Suddenly, elegant celestial music filled the air, and accompanied by this beautiful melody, a magnificent celestial ship appeared, its deck teeming with beautiful female immortals. Everyone's gaze turned to this splendid celestial vessel:
"It's the Palace of Heartbreak!"
The Palace of Heartless Love was filled with female disciples, all beautiful women. Their arrival immediately excited many people. On the magnificent immortal ship, the graceful female disciples of the Palace of Heartless Love attracted everyone's attention.
Gu Yan stood on the highest deck. The female disciples of the Heartless Palace who were participating in this trial with him were Zhou Ting, Xue Mengqi, Ji Yinghua, and Lü Wei.
Of the four female disciples, Xue Mengqi had the highest cultivation level, reaching the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm, and was also the most beautiful. Xue Mengqi's beauty was in no way inferior to that of Tu Shan Jiao, the princess of the Heavenly Fox Clan. However, right now, everyone's gaze was fixed on Gu Yan beside Xue Mengqi. Even though Gu Yan was veiled, he was the first person everyone noticed.
Dressed in white as snow, with long flowing hair, she was as beautiful and captivating as a lotus in the early morning sun or a bright moon.
A true beauty lies in her spirit and soul; even without seeing her face, just looking at her figure and observing her temperament is enough to captivate one's heart.
All eyes fell on Gu Yan, and people exclaimed in surprise: Who is this?
Are there any other beauties like Xue Mengqi among the female disciples of the Heartless Palace?
Shen Wenxin, Baili Changkong, Zhu Li, Tu Shanjiao, Xiao Ling'er, and other geniuses all turned their gazes toward Gu Yan.
As Shen Wenxin gazed at Gu Yan's figure, her heart skipped a beat, and her once still mind was now rippled with emotion.
