Chapter 1934: Curtains of the Grand Event
The contents of the jade slip would indeed cause a feeling of fear and nervousness in any cultivator.
However, that did not include Lin Xun.
When he held out against the combined attacks of five quasi-Emperors without the help of any weapon or treasures, his state of mind had already changed.
While cultivators of the same cultivation stage as him were fixing their attention on the top figures in the same stage, he had begun to think about how to deal with supreme quasi-Emperors if he encountered one.
Moreover, at the beginning, he had no interest in the Dao Debate Assembly at all.
He would never have participated in the selection if his senior brother Li Xuanwei had not told him that the purpose of the Dao Debate Assembly was to find the chaos treasure in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.
“Brother Jin, what are your views on this Dao Debate Assembly?” Suddenly, Lu Dubu asked Lin Xun for his opinion.
Right away, everyone else in the hall looked over. Lin Xun was the well-deserved winner in the Cloud State’s Dao Debate Contest.
Who would not value his views?
Taken aback by the question, Lin Xun thought about it for a moment before he answered, “It’s too early to say anything now. When the Dao Debate Assembly kicks off, everything will be clear.”His answer disappointed many people.
Yet, after another thought, they found that Lin Xun’s point of view made a lot of sense.
Indeed, almost all participants of the Dao Debate Assembly were elite figures of the world, and some were fierce and abnormal characters.
However, did that mean that the present people would have no chance to shine at the Dao Debate Assembly?
In short, it was hard to tell who was better without a fight.
Early next morning.
A ship glowing with divine light soared into the sky from Great Void Sect, carrying the Great Void Sect’s sect master Guan Xu and ten other people including Lin Xun, and headed for Central Plain State.
At the same time, similar scenes were happening in various parts of the Great Primordial Chaos World.
The top ten experts who emerged from the dao debate selection in each state were all heading to the Central Plain State from different directions under the lead of a powerful cultivator.
“The unprecedented Dao Debate Assembly...is finally approaching...”
“The cloud and the wind will gather in the Central Plain State as a result. I wonder how many splendid figures will rise above the others in this grand event.”
“Time will tell!”
……
In every part of the Great Primordial Chaos World, cultivators were discussing the upcoming Dao Debate Assembly and full of anticipation. It was indeed an unprecedented event!
It could be expected that many extraordinary geniuses and talents of the world would meet at the Dao Debate Assembly and compete to see who was better!
In an uncharted land in the Great Primordial Chaos World that was surrounded by mountains and without any traces of human presence…
On a frozen lake, a figure was sitting cross-legged, fishing rod in hand, as still as a rock that had been standing for all eternity.
Swoosh!
A streak of divine light suddenly flew across the distant horizon.
The fisherman figure remained motionless, but the fishing rod in his hand flicked lightly and caught the divine light and brought it back to him.
“I have been sitting alone on the icy lake for three hundred years, tempering my mind. Finally, my opportunity has come...” a low voice sounded.
Then, the figure who had been as still as a rock rose to his feet and stretched.
Boom!
The surface of the frozen lake suddenly exploded, and the sky, clouds and nearby space collapsed.
A rush of boundlessly terrifying and sharp aura erupted from the figure, causing the trees to rustle and nearby mountains to quake.
The figure’s robe whipped around him and his eyes shone like a pair of blades. He looked as majestic and mighty as a god!
“Mi Wuya, Huangfu Shaonong, Ling Hongzhuang… Haha, after so many years, I wonder if you will still remember I, Yue Ruhuo?”
A cold intent twisted the corner of his lips before he vanished without a trace.
Boom!
The moment he disappeared, a giant beast with a frightening aura rushed out of the icy lake and unleashed an earth-shaking roar. Its scales were covered with cryptic dao runes.
It was a prehistoric beast of this uncharted land. It possessed a cultivation base equivalent to that of a quasi-Emperor, but it had been frozen under the lake for three hundred years, suppressed by a fishing rod!
……
The Great Primordial Chaos World.
“Young Lord, it’s time.”
An old servant bowed his head as he spoke respectfully. In front of him, a blood well on the ground was spewing out demonic smoke.
As the old servant’s voice faded, a feminine voice rang from the depths of the blood well. “Is the Dao Debate Assembly about to begin?”
“Correct,” answered the old servant respectfully.
“Finally it’s here. If it didn’t, I don’t know when I would wake up next...”
As the feminine voice sounded, a stream of black demonic qi gushed forth from the blood well and rushed up into the sky.
Instantly, it was as if night had fallen, and every direction became blanketed by deep black demonic qi.
The old servant trembled all over, and his face blanched with terror.
He was a quasi-Emperor of the older generation, but he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill and a feeling of fear gripped him.
It was at this moment that a slender figure walked out from the ink-like demonic qi, his white clothes untainted and whiter than snow.
He had a gentle and handsome face, and he exuded a bright aura. However, mysterious demon dao patterns appeared at his feet with every step he took.
Zhi Bai!
A unique name that was almost unknown to the world, a peerless figure who had been lying dormant in the Demon-Suppressor Blood Well.
Know and observe all but stay obscure!
Be filled with light and walk in the darkness!
At the same time…
One by one, outstanding figures who were lying low in various parts of the vast Great Primordial Chaos World, including some truly unrivaled monsters who could not care less about the Dao Debate Assembly, began to show up in the world and flocked to the same direction.
Central Plain State!
……
Mythical Huang Dao Court.
Inside a simple and ancient thatched cottage.
“This Dao Debate Assembly relates to a supreme fortune in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. When it truly kicks off, all eyes in the world will surely be watching closely.
“Pass on my orders, tell the other dao courts to spread the news and ask them to each dispatch an Emperor to jointly host this event.”
Inside the thatched cottage, an old man with a gaunt face and in old fashioned daoist robes was sitting cross-legged on a praying cushion. There was not a ripple of aura around him and he looked utterly unremarkable.
“Yes!”
Outside the thatched cottage, a sincere respectful voice rang out. It was a middle-aged man with a peculiar and elegant appearance. He looked rather majestic and commanding with a feather hat crowning his head.
It was none other than the sect leader of Mythical Huang Dao Court─Taishu Hong!
He was a mighty character whose name had shaken the universe and who evoked fear and awe in the world. He was an authoritative figure who had set foot into the Emperor Stage as early as in the ancient era.
Yet, at this moment, he spoke with utmost respect.
This was because the one who was meditating in the thatched cottage was a living fossil of the Mythical Huang Dao Court. As someone who had achieved the status of ‘one path to Ancestor,’ his presence was like a stabilizing force to the sect!
“Ancestor, any more orders?” Taishu Hong asked politely.
“The Dao Debate Assembly may seem like just a competition among the younger generation, but it actually relates to the fight over the chaos treasure in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. Even Emperors will struggle to remain indifferent in the face of it.”
Inside the thatched cottage, the old man in daoist robes said aloud, “But no matter what, the rules for the Dao Debate Assembly have long been set. Since our Mythical Huang Dao Court is the venue for this event, we must uphold these rules and not allow anyone to violate them.”
Taishu Hong nodded. “Rest assured, Ancestor.”
“Speaking of which, I am very curious to see who will obtain the chaos treasure born from the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone in the end,” remarked the old man in daoist robes leisurely.
“Not only you, Ancestor, all the forces in the world are bound to be extremely concerned about this matter. After all, owning a chaos treasure from an uncharted place is tantamount to possessing the foundation to open up a dao court.” Taishu Hong’s eyes gleamed wonderfully.
The birth of the Mythical Huang Dao Court was also due to a chaos treasure—The Mythical Huang Dao Stele!
It was no exaggeration to say that the roots of the Mythical Huang Dao Court was the Mythical Huang Dao Stele and it played a significant role in putting it on par with the other five dao courts.
What kind of chaos treasure would appear in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone this time?
Undoubtedly, this was the central point of interest in the entire starry sky!
Even an Emperor like Taishu Hong was tempted.
“Go ahead, and remember that no matter what happens, the rules of the Dao Debate Assembly must be adhered to.” The old man in daoist robe reminded in a serious tone.
Taishu Hong nodded, accepted the order and left.
