A loud "Boom!" echoed in the distance.
As everyone was busy discussing, a bright sun slowly rose in the dark sky far away.
The sun rose in the east, its light illuminating the vast expanse!
The gigantic shadow of the sun covered an entire galaxy with boundless brilliance, shaking everyone to their core.
Through the massive sun's shadow, one could see countless figures moving towards them, a grand procession flying through the air.
"It's the Solar Temple!"
Someone shouted in awe.
The Solar Temple is one of the supreme sects in the Upper Realm, established by the ancient Solar Saint Emperor, with immeasurable power and influence.
At the same time, in another part of the sky, a vine suddenly grew out of the void. The vine expanded rapidly, soon becoming so immense that it spanned across the stars, twisting through the void like a giant dragon. Eventually, it blossomed into a huge flower bud, and numerous figures appeared atop it.
"It's the Sea of Burial Flowers!!"
Someone exclaimed, recognizing this formidable force, a notorious and forbidden zone.
"Endless Blue Sky..."
A woman's voice sounded, low yet powerful, carrying an indescribable aura of dominance.
Everyone turned their heads to see!
A colossal green lotus bloomed in the void, swaying with wisdom. Around it, endless lotus leaves sprouted across the starry sky.
The endless green lotus leaves reached toward the heavens!
Moreover, each lotus leaf exuded a thick aura of creation, as if each leaf contained an entire world.
At the heart of the green lotus, graceful and stunning figures emerged, all of them women.
"It's the Green Lotus Dao Sect!"
Many people's hearts trembled. This was a sect that stirred many imaginations, where each disciple was a breathtaking beauty, unmatched by anyone.
Yet, at the same time, this was also a place that struck fear into many. These women were stunningly captivating, often causing people to act impulsively, only to end up paying the price, falling into humiliating defeat.
"From the Northern Abyss comes a fish, its name is Kun!"
At that moment, from another direction, a voice rang out, followed by the sound of an overwhelming tidal wave.
"Roar!"
A massive gray fish appeared on the horizon, stirring up storms with waves crashing for thousands of miles. The enormous fish leapt into the air, transforming into a white roc. The roc circled in the sky, its head and tail forming a giant Taiji symbol, stretching across the starry sky.
On the Taiji symbol, figures began to appear.
"It's the Yin-Yang Sect!"
Another shout rang out, but before anyone could continue their explanations, more supreme forces arrived, and not just one.
"The Eternal Xiao Clan!"
"The Phoenix Clan!"
"The Rootless Sect!"
"The Ancient Stone People!"
"The Immortal Mountain!"
"Wait, what force is that? I don't recognize them."
...
These supreme sects, eternal clans, and immortal lineages from the Upper Realm emerged one after another, each radiating an overwhelming aura that spread across the starry sky, causing it to tremble.
"Sigh, with all these supreme forces here, my chances of obtaining the World Seed are slim," someone lamented helplessly.
"Don't be so pessimistic, friend. There are a total of 129,600 seeds from the World Tree. Your chances of obtaining one are still quite high," someone comforted.
"Sigh, you don't understand. What's the probability of 129,600 seeds? I've been pouring out billions in effort, and I can't even hit a single target..."
The person who sighed continued to lament.
"Uh... that is quite a challenge. But, friend, if you're really struggling, I could lend a hand," the other person offered.
"Get lost!!"
Conversations like this could be heard everywhere, filled with banter and laughter, easing the tension in everyone's hearts.
Suddenly, "Boom, boom, boom!"
At that moment, the far end of the starry sky began to shake again. A golden road appeared, winding like a dragon, radiating dazzling light and accompanied by a brilliant shower of glowing rain, resembling a road to ascension!
On this golden road stood seven or eight young figures, hands behind their backs, like natural-born rulers, looking down on the world.
"This... this aura, could it be...?"
"It's the Taixuan Heaven!!"
"It's the young kings of Taixuan Heaven! It's said that after the fall of Xuanyuan Heaven, the remaining eight heavens inherited Xuanyuan Heaven's luck, and for years, they've been flourishing, producing countless extraordinary talents! The strongest among these talents are known as the Young Kings!"
"Young Kings? How strong are they? How do they compare to the saint sons and daughters of the major supreme forces in the Upper Realm?"
"Hard to say. After all, the heirs of these supreme forces are also monstrous geniuses, and there may be some who defy the heavens among them. But, in general, the Young Kings of the Eight Heavens are likely a cut above the rest."
"Sorry for our late arrival."
At this moment, a gentle laugh rang out. Everyone looked up to see a starry river spinning in front of them, forming a colorful vortex.
Several young figures walked out from the vortex, their bearing extraordinary, as if they had become the center of the universe.
"It's the Taiqing Heaven!!"
"The Young Kings of Taiqing Heaven have arrived as well. It seems that this competition will be far more intense than anyone could have imagined."
"I'm scared. I'm leaving."
"Yeah, I should go too. I opened a flatbread shop in a mortal world, and I still have flatbreads to sell today."
Many people started to retreat, despite their earlier confidence. The sight of the gathering forces made them lose their nerve.
Their lives were more important!
As the saying goes, civilians shouldn't fight with officials. These young talents from the supreme forces were truly untouchable.
Killing one of these geniuses wouldn't just bring disaster. Even if you could kill them, it would be certain death afterward.
When the number of young geniuses from major forces reached a certain level, a place would turn into a pit of death. Entering would be like seeking your own demise.
Very quickly, large numbers of powerful beings retreated, dispersing like dark clouds. Yet, even after their departure, the number of strong cultivators in the starry sky remained astounding.
At least several million!
At that moment, the sky lit up again as nine enormous divine birds appeared, illuminating a vast portion of the starry sky.
A chariot emitting divine radiance, pulling ten thousand rays of purple light, was pulled by the nine divine birds and rumbled forward.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the grand chariot finally stopped above everyone's heads, towering above all the supreme forces and the two great heavens.
Instantly, many people's expressions changed!
Everyone's suspended height in the sky was a reflection of their status, an unspoken order that required no explanation.
Most people floated at the same height, while those from the supreme forces hovered slightly higher. The young geniuses from the two great heavens were at the highest. These slight differences in height represented their rank.
Yet, this mysterious chariot had directly stopped above everyone's heads. Such a bold act was incredibly audacious!
"It's him!"
The Yin-Yang Saint Son, Meng Xuanji, squinted his eyes as he recognized the figure. It was none other than the Lord of Xuanyuan Heaven, Qin Zi.
"So arrogant? It seems that in the past hundred years, your strength has indeed improved significantly. But I wonder... how strong you really are."
Meng Xuanji did not gloat.
Schadenfreude was beneath him, a petty action. If he truly hated someone, he would crush them personally!
Of course, he didn't act now because he knew Qin Zi had just offended the two great heavens.
All Meng Xuanji needed to do was sit back and watch the tigers fight, and he believed the other geniuses shared the same sentiment.
"Get down here!"
At that moment, on the golden ancient road, a young man with golden hair raised his head, scolding with overwhelming authority.
His hair shimmered like fire, and his entire being radiated a terrifyingly violent aura, as if he could devour the heavens like a tiger!
