Chapter 470 Guests Arrive
Chapter 470 Guests Arrive
It was midnight and the moon was full.
The ancient Que Star Tower coexists with the brilliant Milky Way, and the mighty pressure roars, fully demonstrating the spirit and heritage of the Zhongzhou Holy Land.
Inside the two towering ancient palaces facing each other from afar, immortals gathered and the place was bustling with activity.
The elders and disciples of all sects and clans, as well as the independent cultivators in the market, can all enter the palace to observe and stay... but they can only gather on the lower nine floors.
As for the monks from the holy land and the distinguished guests attending the ceremony, they were arranged in order according to their cultivation level, from the tenth floor to the thirtieth floor.
clang--
As a bell rang out that shook the soul, spiritual energy began to surge and swell in the Star-Gathering Tower between the two ancient towers.
"Yu Shan Juan, Chapter 97 of the Sui Dynasty, brothers and sisters... please!"
A Nascent Soul woman took a step out from the Three Meridians Ancient Palace, and in a flash she appeared on the vast star platform!
The woman's eyes were calm, her black hair dancing in the wind, and she seemed to be walking on the galaxy.
She just gently clenched her slender hands, and intricate array patterns that stretched from heaven to earth began to grow wildly around her body. The vast ocean of spiritual power that was aroused caused the entire Stargazing Platform to tremble!
"This formation, Xuan Gong Fei Xing, is derived from the true meaning of the Sui Dynasty scroll—"
"Using Yu Shan's strategy for the palace... seeing the right is to defend, seeing the strange is to attack, snow falling on the lonely city is to be trapped, the sun and moon in the sky are an illusion, looking up at the Sui scroll, he sees damage, looking down at Lu Zhang, he sees poison..."
The overwhelming pressure enveloped the entire Star-Gathering Platform, and even spiritual consciousness could not penetrate.
Whenever the woman whispered, great cultivators from the three sects would step out of the palace behind her. One by one, Nascent Soul cultivators would integrate into the strange formation, each guarding one side and performing the formation together. It was truly intricate and wonderful.
In an instant, the Star-Gazing Platform that was thousands of feet long and wide could no longer be found.
Instead, there was a huge dark green city standing on the galaxy. Snow was falling under the bright moon, and the towering city walls were dead silent.
Looking along the open city gate, you can vaguely see the long, frosty and snowy street in the city, and the tattered wine flags dancing wildly in the cold wind!
"Xuan Gong Fei Xing! There are a total of eighteen Yuan Yings from the three meridians in this formation!"
"Silence!"
"This should only be the first level of change..."
"Why are there no movements in the five meridians?"
"Is this an illusion? I'm just watching from afar, and I already feel a chill in my stomach!"
Whispers were heard between the ancient gates. After countless gazes stared for a long time, a man from the Five Meridians who had reached the Nascent Soul stage set out from the gate.
The man's sword-like eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a step directly into the phantom city in front of him.
"Jade Gate, Lock Formation."
As he whispered, dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators behind him joined forces to form a formation. Vast arrays instantly sealed off the entire Snowfall City...
The demonstration and debate of the three and five meridians were so impressive from the very beginning.
It only caused gazes to converge and spiritual consciousness to intertwine, and the entire starry night seemed to have lost its sound.
……
Zhao Qing leaned leisurely on the moon corridor, holding Qinghuan in his arms and teasing her tenderly.
From time to time, he would smile and lower his eyes, watching the changes in the formation of the two Nascent Souls... but he was just watching for the sake of appearance, he really couldn't understand it at all.
A holy land is a holy land after all. No matter how bad it is in the mouths of him and his senior brothers, no one in the world can match it in the art of formations.
Not to mention the debate formation of more than thirty Yuanyings from the two lineages... I'm afraid that even two Shenhuas would have a hard time coming out alive if they were thrown in, but he was watching comfortably from a high place.
When he thought of this, Zhao Qing felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he truly understood the noble status of Yujing in Zhongzhou.
Shuyue was leaning against the moon corridor, her bright eyes full of curiosity, and she was watching with great interest.
She was naturally not watching the battle on the Star-Gathering Platform... Compared to the ever-changing array patterns, the occasional conversations between the ancient towers seemed more interesting.
——She was pulling Ning'er to listen to gossip.
But Ning Mei was extremely busy at the moment. The communication jade on her body was emitting spiritual energy one after another, and she couldn't respond in time.
When she lived in Mingchuanfang in the past, she knew some independent cultivators or disciples from holy places.
Now all kinds of invitations come at once and come in one after another.
Some even said they would visit Ning Fangzhu... Some even said they would compete for her in the Tianxiang City Trial... Some even asked her to help introduce the Blood Robe Walker...
Zhao Qing was also playing with the communication jade, but he was communicating with the clan members under the blood-stained robe.
In the two countries of Shaoshi and Jianshen, where Sister Zhang had preached, there were always three sects that depended on the Blood God Temple for survival. It just so happened that the inner sect disciples in the late stage of foundation building were pulled over to work there.
The Jizhou Li family, from which the ninth junior sister came, did not originally participate in the battle for Tianxiang City, so she could also ask the junior sister for help.
Yan Chuanzhou's Mingyue Mansion and Xiang Qin's side have nothing to do with Tianxiang, so they can call their own blood sons over to help...
Of course, there is also Si Youzong of the Chu State. It would be nice to invite Xian Ning, Shen Mo and others to come over and have some fun.
In fact, it is not necessary for Zhao Qing to take the position of the ruler of the world.
After all, there are countless ethnic groups and immortal sects in Zhongzhou.
Even the power he gathered as a walking being was still far behind those ancient clan forces that had been entrenched for many years...
But now that he has arrived in Zhongzhou, he also wants to do his best for his family.
This is not only Ning Mei's own opportunity, but also related to the immortal path he walked when he was twelve years old... and the chance for Si He's true body to escape.
If Tianxiang Xingxing could really fall into Ningmei's hands, then their family's situation on the road to immortality would definitely be completely different.
……
Zhao Qing raised his eyes and smiled at the beautiful woman in red beside him: "How much do you understand?"
In their family, only the aunt was watching carefully those vast formations that could change the world.
"Just observing the changes in spiritual energy..." At this moment, my aunt was watching the star stage formation in a trance, her beautiful eyes clear and beautiful were full of thoughts.
She glanced back with a bitter smile, raised her hand to smooth the black hair by her ear, and whispered, "I can't see anything clearly. I'm just trying to find the core of the formation and use the methods of the seniors to verify my identity."
"In terms of formations... I'm afraid there's still a big gap between me and the average Foundation Establishment disciples in the Holy Land."
Zhao Qing didn't tease her any further, so as not to disturb his aunt's meditation. He just chuckled and consoled her, "No one can reach the highest level overnight. You can slowly experiment with the Shattered Star's legacy in the future."
My aunt and Qing Huan exchanged a glance and whispered softly, "If we just play with it in our spare time, wouldn't that be a waste of this precious Shattered Star inheritance?"
Zhao Qing smiled without saying a word, held Qinghuan's slender hand tightly and took a step forward, watching the grand performance on the Star-Glancing Platform with his aunt.
In the past... my aunt was just playing around with formations, and she couldn't be called a formation practitioner.
But now that she has inherited the Broken Star and has the unique Xuanji Pupil, she plans to start over again and study the art of formations step by step.
Right now!
At the end of the vast galaxy, a huge immortal boat was approaching and entered the Shattered Star Holy Land in the blink of an eye.
However, the complex and ever-changing formations on the Star-Glancing Platform were still as dazzling as ever, paying no attention to the immortal boat belonging to the Jian family... It was obvious that they had anticipated this.
However, a huge uproar broke out in the ancient palaces of the two lineages.
"Jane's people!"
"The Jian family has always had a close relationship with the Yi Clan. Why are they here at the Lanxingtai now?"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence?"
"Aren't the Huangfu clan's people in the Five Meridians?"
"Wrong, it's the Zhongzhou Blood Son!"
"The youngest heir of the Jian family is a descendant of Zhongzhou. If the Blood Robe Walker has come to Zhongzhou, why wouldn't the Jian family come?"
Zhao Qing stood on the moon corridor with a smile on his face, and he also had some guesses in his mind.
Jian Ye Fang Xiao Xia, Nangong Huangfu suppresses Zhongzhou...
What are the relationships among the seven ancient clans of Zhongzhou? Jian Ting is a young master, so he shouldn't be intimidated by Huangfu Ming...
Seeing a man and a woman on the fairy boat smiling and bowing, Zhao Qing immediately removed the restrictions on this level to allow Jian Ting and the other person to enter the palace.
Half a year ago, Jian Tingyan said that he was about to be promoted to the Golden Core stage, but when I saw him again now, he still hadn't broken through.
Zhao Qing's gaze stayed on the woman for a moment.
Just by looking at the woman standing side by side with Jian Ting, her dignified and elegant appearance, and her cultivation level that was just approaching the Jindan stage... he understood a lot of things in an instant.
As the head of an ancient clan, the Jian family would not miss out on the battle for the Blood Robe with Long Yuan, but would also not miss the Tianxiang City that reflects Zhongzhou.
"Senior Brother Zhao, Junior Sister Gu."
Jian Ting landed lightly in the moon corridor, looked at Zhao Qing's family and bowed solemnly.
He had once visited the Blood God Peak with Xiang Qin, and was already quite familiar with Gu Qinghuan at that time.
Zhao Qing chuckled and nodded, then he took his wife in his arms and introduced her, "Madam Wang Shuyue, Zhou Xiaoyi."
"Shuyue meets Senior Brother."
"My humble concubine has met Master Jian."
Shuyue's voice is crisp and her eyes are gentle. Her aunt bends her body slightly and looks delicate. She is a stunning sight in every way she moves and is still.
A lively smile flickered between Ning Mei's watery eyes. After exchanging a glance with Zhao Qing, she briskly took the arm of the woman beside Jian Ting and asked, "Senior Sister, are you also going to Tianxiang City this time?"
Jian Qiong smiled tearfully, and her gentle nod made people feel like spring breeze: "Jian Qiong greets Senior Brother Zhao."
"This is my clan sister. She was unable to go to Longyuan during the time, and now she happens to come with me to pay a visit to my senior brother." Jian Ting explained with a chuckle.
Zhao Qing's mind was as clear as a mirror. He spoke frankly and jokingly said, "It's useless for Fairy Jian Qiong to come to see me..."
"My Ning'er will also be entering Tianxiang City to compete. I'm afraid she'll become enemies with you two then."
He put his arm around Ning Mei's shoulders and talked and laughed, which saved Jian Ting from being unable to open his mouth.
The meaning of bringing Jian Qiong to see him was obvious - someone in the Jian family wanted to compete for Tianxiang's position, so he couldn't help outsiders too much.
However, Zhao Qing did not care. Although he was a descendant of Zhongzhou, it was normal and reasonable for him to take care of his sister first.
Jian Ting's expression brightened upon hearing this, and he laughed out loud as if he was quite expectant. "If both my clan sister and Fairy Ning can fight to the end..."
"Could it be that Tianxiang City has become another Longyuan?"
"I really want to compete with my senior brother again."
Zhao Qing turned around and walked with Ning Mei, saying with a smile: "It's easier said than done..."
"Even if that really happened, how could I bring myself to kill Fairy Qiong, who is so beautiful?"
"How difficult is that? Senior Sister Jian will marry our husband together with us, so we won't have to fight." Sister Ning's watery eyes flickered, and she parted her red lips with a playful laugh.
Seeing Ning'er's random matchmaking, Qinghuan couldn't help but smile in her phoenix eyes. She lowered her head and walked slowly beside her master.
Shuyue's bright eyes curved into crescents. She and her aunt naturally understood... that becoming enemies with Jian Qiong and Jian Ting was inevitable.
Then he responded with a crisp laugh: "When the time comes, the two families will be one family, so why would we have to argue about who is better~"
Zhao Qing and Jian Ting smiled but said nothing. It was obvious that such a joke to liven up the atmosphere should not be taken seriously.
However, Jian Qiong, who always wore a gentle smile, also followed suit and said with a smile: "Qiong'er was born into the Jian family and has no say in marriage. It is Brother Zhao who has to come and propose marriage."
Zhao Qing immediately turned around and smiled, "After Tianxiang City, I will go to visit the Jian family."
Jian Qiong smoothed her hair and smiled sweetly, "I'm afraid it's a bit too late after Tianxiang City."
……
Soon, both the host and the guests were having a great time in the ancient palace.
Both sides knew that they would become enemies in the future, but they could not hide the laughter and joy on the spot... After all, this matter was reasonable, so they just had to talk it out clearly.
Jian Tingqian said that his clan was in a dilemma, and he, a descendant of Zhongzhou, was in a dilemma.
Zhao Qing naturally wouldn't care about these things. Generally speaking, Brother Tingzi was a sincere man and they could talk to each other.
"Huangfu seems tough and intelligent, but he's actually a blockhead. Brother, leave him to me."
When talking about the battle formation he had with Huangfu Ming, Jian Ting laughed out loud, saying that Huangfu Ming was a stubborn person and he could handle it by himself.
Zhao Qing naturally would not agree to this.
Let’s not talk about whether Jian Ting’s status is equal to Huangfu’s…but he is still waiting to torture Huangfu Ming personally.
"Huangfu Ming, I will handle it."
"Among the Five Veins guests, there's also a Nine Swords Master who's at the Golden Core Realm. I heard that Tang Xuanyao is also a Foundation Establishment genius."
"If you really feel itchy, just choose one of the responses..."
Jian Ting paused for a moment after hearing this, then he said with a thoughtful smile, "Why don't you invite the guests from the three meridians here as well?"
"After they have chosen their opponents, we will discuss it in detail."
"Although this Star-Shattering Trial is nothing, if the Three Veins were to fail, it would be a loss of face for Senior Brother."
Zhao Qing didn't care about these things. Although he was watching the ceremony in Sanmai, he didn't care at all about the outcome of the guests' performance.
"There are people who came to the Three Veins to watch the ceremony, as well as the two people from Yuelian Sect and Lingxi Valley. Let's meet them first." He took out Tang Shiqi's communication jade so that his senior sister could help him find someone to come over.
"Also, when I first arrived in Zhongzhou, I met a senior sister. She is very smart, clever, and resourceful. I'd like you to meet her as well."
Jian Ting's mind moved, and he knew that the senior sister must be helping Zhao Qing, otherwise she wouldn't have given him a special reminder at this moment.
He was about to open his mouth to smile and respond, but he heard the clan sister's gentle whisper beside him: "The one from Yuelian Sect... is it Ye Xi?"
Ye Xi?
"It is indeed this person. Fairy Jian has a history with her?" Zhao Qing raised his eyes hesitantly. Fan Jingyun had specifically mentioned to him the young master of the Yuelian Sect who came to the three veins to watch the ceremony.
Jian Qiong pursed her lips and smiled, her delicate and picturesque eyebrows raised slightly, and she said to herself helplessly, "This is an extremely powerful enemy in Tianxiang City."
"Even with the support of the Jian family, I'm still worried that I'm far behind her."
Zhao Qing: ...
have to.
The battle for Tianxiang City hasn't even begun yet, but I already have three beautiful fairies here. If you include Si He who is in seclusion at home... they can even set up a mahjong table.
"Even Fairy Jian is so worried... Is this Ye Xi from the Ye family, one of the Seven Ancients?"
Zhao Qing asked casually while playing with the jade slip in his hand.
But all I could hear was Ning Mei's smiling voice: "I've heard of it."
"Ye Xi is only a branch of the Ye family, but in Zhongzhou she is a disciple of Tianxiang who is highly admired by men."
"She is neither a saint nor a legitimate heir, but she is from the Yuelian Sect of the Hehuan Holy Land..."
Zhao Qing immediately raised his eyebrows.
Is it the Fairy Tianxiang who stays in the Hehuan Sect?
Well...it's quite normal that there are more bootlickers.
