King of Creation-Chapter 635 - 627: Gathering at Immortal Light Mountain

A mountain range spanning thousands of miles lay before Ye Zhen, shimmering with multi-colored hues, ethereally misty, giving Ye Zhen the sensation of stepping into an Immortal Realm.

"Shocked, aren’t you? This Immortal Light Mountain is truly an Immortal Realm within the True Spirit Domain. The first time I came here, I was also stunned. After the last Spirit Returning Assembly ended, I hardly wanted to leave." Seeing Ye Zhen’s dumbfounded expression, Fengh Qingyue gently laughed.

"It really does seem like an Immortal Realm..."

Ye Zhen was still in shock, and could assure that this was the most beautiful place he had ever seen, even more so than Jade Water Lake’s Falling Jade Mountain, "Caiyi would absolutely love this place if she saw it..."

Unconsciously, Ye Zhen thought of Caiyi, whom he hadn’t heard from in a long time, a pang of heartache momentarily flashing through his eyes, wondering how Caiyi was doing now, whether she was faring well?

Women are the most sensitive, a truth once again validated in Fengh Qingyue, especially when she noticed the fluctuations in Ye Zhen’s emotions the instant he thought of Caiyi.

"What’s wrong, feeling homesick? Is your hometown also very beautiful?" Fengh Qingyue asked softly.

Looking at Fengh Qingyue, who was quite concerned about him, Ye Zhen gave a wry smile and nodded his head, not wanting to lie, but at this moment he could only nod.

"Perhaps once my Cultivation is strong enough, I can go back and have a look!"

"It’s very far, this place is separated from my hometown by several domains. For an ordinary martial artist, crossing one domain would take years!" Ye Zhen felt somewhat despondent.

"That’s our current perspective and judgment. When we become stronger, what unfolds before us will be a different world. Perhaps by then, the previous challenges will seem trivial!" Fengh Qingyue comforted.

As they were still atop the Six-Winged Green Light Cicada, the conversation between Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue was soft, yet many people noticed it. Besides Yua Hanjing, who was grinding his teeth in secret, the others were shocked.

One of the Sun and Moon Double Beauties, famous for keeping others at a distance, Fengh Qingyue, was actually comforting someone?

Many martial artists of the Divine Sect were admirers of Fengh Qingyue. Normally, when they approached her, although Fengh Qingyue wasn’t cold, she would only exchange a word or two. When had she ever been this intimate?

This scene made Nian Xinghe, standing aside, extremely envious. He had been pursuing Fengh Qingyue for several years, but even combined, the conversations he had with her within a year didn’t amount to as much as Ye Zhen had spoken to her today.

Not to mention what that felt like.

What Ye Zhen didn’t realize was that, during his quiet conversation with Fengh Qingyue, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong unexpectedly turned his head and cast a complex glance at Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue, full of surprise, as if also somewhat relieved, yet confused.

He only stared for a moment, and before Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue noticed, he shifted his gaze away, his expression somewhat forlorn.

The next moment, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong led a group of people flying towards the summit of Immortal Light Mountain, followed closely by several high-ranking officials of the Divine Sect, while the eighteen members of the Sunshine Hall fanned out, positioning Ye Zhen and Nian Xinghe, along with three others, in the very center.

Not only that, the Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beast, the Six-Winged Green Light Cicada, hovered above everyone’s heads, unleashing its terrifying oppressive force without restraint.

Even Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong released a faint trace of Establishment King aura.

Initially, Ye Zhen didn’t understand why such a grand display was necessary, but after merely half a quarter-hour, he understood!

Danger, from all directions.

In just that half quarter-hour, Ye Zhen saw and identified over a hundred demon beasts.

And all these hundred demon beasts were Heaven Rank, among which there were not a few Heavenly Level High Grade demon beasts.

Most of the Heaven Rank demon beasts were scared off by the aura of the Six-Winged Green Light Cicada, but a few Heavenly Level High Grade demon beasts could confront the Six-Winged Green Light Cicada directly without flinching. novelbuddy.cσ๓

At that moment, a slight release of the terrifying Establishment King aura from Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong instantly frightened away the Heavenly Level High Grade demon beasts.

Ye Zhen felt, this was no Immortal Realm; it was fundamentally a lair of demon beasts. Zhuang Ling, whose combat power was slightly lower, had even turned somewhat pale. If the demon beasts in the trial land were truly this dense, then entering it would be akin to marching to their deaths.

"Don’t worry, the demon beasts in the trial land won’t be this numerous. The reason there are so many Heaven Rank demon beasts here is because today’s crowd has startled the Heaven Rank demon beasts that dwell deep within the Immortal Light Mountain," Grand Commander Jio Yuanxiu soothed.

"However, you all need to be mentally prepared! The combat power of the Heaven Rank demon beasts in the trial land might be a bit stronger than that of ordinary Heaven Rank demon beasts!"

Fengh Qingyue added, but as a martial artist who had previously participated in the Spirit Returning Assembly, no one doubted his warning.

Thinking about it now, the generous reward promised by Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, though affluent, came with risks of equal measure. These things required risking their lives!

"Sunx Tributor, Tower Master Yan, it’s been a long time!" The calm greeting of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong sounded as the cohort from Stars Tower entered the mountain from another side.

Among the Five Great Forces of Qinglan Martial City, only Tower Master Yan Cong of the Stars Tower was not an Establishment King, his Cultivation being the lowest. However, an impressive elderly man following closely behind Yan Cong radiated an aura nearly equal to that of Jian Qianxiong.

Having the backing of an Establishment King, Yan Cong naturally stood straight and tall, his gaze sweeping across the crowd as he smiled and said, "Sect Leader Jian, your tactics are becoming increasingly inscrutable! The last assembly was manageable, but this time, sending a Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm martial artist is indeed a rarity!"

"Heh, a rarity it is indeed!"

After greeting the Establishment Realm’s Sunx Tributor, Jian Qianxiong showed no interest in speaking with Yan Cong. In his view, Yan Cong did not possess the qualifications to converse with him; it was only because of the support from Stars Tower that he could sit at the same level as them, otherwise, he wouldn’t even have the fate to greet them!

Jian Qianxiong ignored Yan Cong, but Vice Sect Hierarch Tian Guizhang, Grand Commander Jio Yuanxiu, and Third Commander Hee Yangxin, among others, kept their eyes continuously observing the members of Stars Tower’s group.

Similarly, the entourage from Stars Tower was doing the same thing.

After all, this was the best opportunity to observe the opposing side’s combatants—if any weaknesses could be discerned, it would be good to brief them in advance.

Shortly, the face of Vice Sect Hierarch Tian Guizhang changed as he pointed to someone in the crowd opposite and told everyone, "See that black-clothed martial artist walking side by side with Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu? Any intelligence on him?"

"Very unfamiliar, his aura concealed, unable to sense his specific cultivation level, but judging from his gait and demeanor, he’s certainly not inferior to Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu. Our intelligence from the Inner Affairs Hall has never reported such a high-level expert appearing in Stars Tower before," said the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, Zhu Ling.

In the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, the Inner Affairs Hall manages intelligence.

"Since he is unfamiliar, and he can walk side by side with the always arrogant Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu at the forefront of the crowd, it’s very possible he is a young elite sent by the Main Building of Stars Tower to support their branch at the True Spirit Domain.

From what I see, the combat role of this black-clothed martial artist might surpass that of Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu, and being from the Main Building, he might even possess a spiritual artifact; you all need to be careful!" analyzed the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall meticulously.

After giving everyone a heads up, Zhu Ling added, "Among the Five Great Forces, only Stars Tower possesses a Teleportation Formation that connects directly to the outside world," attesting to his words.

"Zhuang Ling, Yub Hea, Zuo Xiong, you three have to avoid this person in the Trial Land! If you encounter him, try to stay away!"

Tian Guizhang’s gaze turned towards Ye Zhen, "As for Ye Zhen, you... manage on your own!" Among the five, Ye Zhen’s strength was the most uncertain for Tian Guizhang.

While the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was analyzing Stars Tower’s lineup, Stars Tower’s martial artists were likewise analyzing the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s lineup.

"Uncle, based on this, apart from Nian Xinghe who qualifies to fight me among these Sun and Moon Divine Sect martial artists, the others are all pushovers!" a martial artist from Stars Tower suddenly said.

In the midst of talking, the martial artist’s gaze swept across Ye Zhen, "Uncle, is that the martial artist at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, whom you instructed us to kill on sight, Ye Zhen?

"I really don’t understand; just a Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm martial artist, how could he make you hate him to such an extent, and yet he still lives well? Moreover, how could a martial artist from the Soul Sea Realm manage to infiltrate the Spirit Returning Assembly?" scoffed the black-clothed martial artist, Yan Yijun, derisively.

"It’s a long story! Your seventeenth uncle who was sent out for experience was killed by Ye Zhen!" Yan Cong bit his teeth and said.

"Hmph, rest assured, this time, I will definitely take this boy’s head, to mourn for seventeenth uncle!" Yan Yijun declared fiercely.

At this, Tributor Du furrowed his brows, "Yijun, let there be no carelessness!"

"Tributor Du, rest assured, killing a martial artist at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm is as easy as turning over one’s hand!"

As soon as Yan Yijun made this statement, Tributor Du’s facial expression suddenly sank, "Yijun, if you have this mindset, then you shouldn’t participate in this Spirit Returning Assembly, for you would be going on a suicide mission!"

Yan Yijun was taken aback, "Suicide, how could that be possible?"

"Hmph, do you think that Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is a fool? Normally, not even martial artists at the First Stage of Vein Forging Realm qualify to participate in the Spirit Returning Assembly, let alone those at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm.

"Since Jian Qianxiong chose Ye Zhen to participate in the Spirit Returning Assembly, there must be something extraordinary about Ye Zhen. You must not underestimate him when facing Ye Zhen; you must give it your all!" The words of Tributor Du were directed towards all warriors from Stars Tower participating in the Spirit Returning Assembly.

Thunder Sword Qin Hu’s expression became stern as he responded resolutely.

"Do you see that row of people from the Heavenly Net Sect direction, that giant standing over two meters tall? Be careful when you encounter him; he has refined an extremely powerful Divine Power Martial Skill called Divine Great Momentum Hammer, specifically meant to break Protective Spirit Armor; it’s incredibly potent, so avoid clashing head-on with him!"

As they advanced, high-ranking officers of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect pointed out features and practiced Divine Martial Skills, strengths and weaknesses, of warriors from the other factions that were noticed to be participating in the Spirit Returning Assembly to Ye Zhen and the others.

Especially the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, Zhu Ling; when talking about these warriors, he knew them like the back of his hand.

This showed that others from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect had also done substantial homework for this Spirit Returning Assembly.

Suddenly, the gaze of the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, Zhu Ling, hardened as he pointed obliquely towards a group of people who had just landed on the mountain top, "See that warrior on the far left resembling a skeleton with a pale face?

That is none other than the White Bone Young Master, ranked first among the younger generation of Qinglan Martial Capital, who went into reclusive cultivation three years ago!" (To be continued.
