Chapter 809 - 809: Gathering of Tianxing Sect’s Prodigies, Eleven Spots
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qin Tian did not spare Li Hao a glance, seemingly unconcerned about his presence.
To Qin Tian, Li Hao was nothing more than a servant disciple, hardly worthy of his attention.
Li Hao smiled as he watched the other party leave.
He was just a personal disciple of the sect master. What was there to be arrogant about?
Similarly, Li Hao did not take the other party seriously and did not care too much.

Li Hao then headed in the direction where the two of them had left.
He too had a destination in mind: the immortal king’s cave abode. Driven by his mentor’s demand, he was obliged to undergo training. But did that mean he had to vie for a spot?
After a while, Li Hao arrived at a huge square.
Positioned beneath the main peak, this square served as the central hub of the Tianxing Sect.
It had already teemed with a dense crowd. Easily over a thousand individuals had gathered, sporting a medley of attire. From the sect’s own personal disciples, core disciples, and inner sect members to the lower-ranked outer sect disciples and servant disciples, everyone was represented. Although the latter were often limited in their movements within the sect, they were allowed to congregate in this square for such occasions.
Of course, there were also some proud figures who were not wearing the clothes of the sect. Instead, they were wearing their own clothes and stood alone.
As for the clothes, Tianxing Sect did not force its disciples.
However, the clothes of the sect were an extraordinary Dharma artifact. In addition, many disciples of the sect were actually quite poor, so they did not have much clothes. Hence, they could only wear the clothes of the sect. “It’s quite a spectacle,” Li Hao mused, taking in the vibrant scene before him.
Approximately ninety percent of the entire Tianxing Sect’s disciple body had assembled here. The magnitude of the gathering impressed Li Hao.
His gaze landed on the square’s center, where he noticed imposing stone pillars adorned with seats that overlooked the entire expanse.
Reserved for the sect’s prominent figures, these seats awaited the presence of the sect’s elite.
Li Hao’s eyes shifted to these seats, already occupied by several imposing figures radiating an air of majesty.
These figures, the leaders of the Nine Heavenly Peaks, had mostly arrived.
However, the seat at the top was still empty.
Everyone knew who this position belonged to.
The Sect Master of the Tianxing Sect, MO Tianxing.
More and more figures were arriving in the square. Then, they found their spots and stood still.
At a certain moment, a thunderclap sounded in the void. Everyone saw a burly figure appear and descend on a seat.
This middle-aged man was enveloped in purple lightning, as if immersed in a cascade of electrifying energy that exuded a ferocious aura.
“It’s the Peak Master of Ben Lei Peak, Zhao Tianlei!”
“Master Zhao Feng has also appeared. All that’s left is the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak and the Sect Master…”
A burst of commotion erupted from the surrounding disciples of the Tianxing Sect.
This middle-aged man was none other than Zhao Tianlei, one of the nine peak masters, overseeing Ben Lei Peak. As a formidable practitioner of lightning cultivation, he was renowned for his mastery over thunderous forces.
Not long after Zhao Tianlei descended, not far off, a green bird took to the skies, its wings fluttering as it drew near. Perched upon the bird were two striking figures, who approached rapidly and soon hovered above the square.
Upon witnessing the two captivating individuals on the back of the green bird, exclamations filled the air once more.
“It’s Peak Master Xiao of the Jade Maiden Peak.”
“That’s the eldest senior sister of the Jade Maiden Peak, Liu Mei.”
“Senior Liu is really too beautiful!”
“If I could have a Dao companion as stunning as Senior Liu, I’d consider my life fulfilled even if I perished…”
All attention swiveled to the pair who had just arrived. One was a regal woman emanating an air of nobility, while the other was a striking young girl. The woman’s natural beauty required no embellishment, and an innate charm seemed to radiate from her very being. She possessed a captivating allure that was not overtly seductive but undeniably enchanting. Even in stillness, her slender elegance exuded a distinct and captivating aura.
These two figures were none other than the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak, Xiao Yuruo, and her personal disciple, Liu Mei.
True to her name, Liu Mei possessed the charm suggested by her appellation. She was renowned as one of the Tianxing Sect’s exceptional beauties and was held as a goddess in the hearts of countless male disciples.
As Xiao Yuruo assumed her seat among the peak masters, Liu Mei gracefully touched down in the square.
Within the square’s confines stood several young and confident figures. Among them were familiar faces that Li Hao had encountered before.
Shen Bingxin, Ye Lang, Wang Daofa, Long Kui… These people who had entered the Sky Conduct Sect with Li Hao were among them.
Qin Tian, Mu Hongluan, Xu Man, and the others were also standing among them.
Of course, the square also accommodated distinguished figures whose youthful countenances belied the power emanating from their beings.
“Senior Song of the Heavenly Sword Peak… Senior Jiang of the Earth Peak, Senior Chu of the Cold Iron Peak..
“Senior Shui of the Earth Spring Peak, Senior Yue of the Spirit Wood Peak…”
“Oh my god, so many senior brothers and sisters who are rarely seen have appeared.”
“So many personal disciples and core disciples…”
There was an uproar in the crowd.
Today, prodigies who seldom made appearances emerged one after another. Even among the personal disciples and core disciples, there were at least eighty in attendance.
The reason for their appearance was self-evident — they were all here to vie for a spot in the immortal king’s cave abode.
Li Hao stood amidst the gathering. Despite his remarkable appearance, he remained inconspicuous due to the sheer number of people present.
Furthermore, still clad in the garb of a servant disciple, he went unnoticed.
Li Hao looked at these figures and could not help but sigh.
Acquiring a spot in the immortal king’s cave abode seemed far from an easy endeavor.
Just as Li Hao was lost in thought, a figure appeared as though materializing from thin air, taking his place in the highest seat.
A middle-aged man garbed like a Confucian scholar stood there emanating an air of transcendence.
Seeing this middle-aged Confucian scholar, the crowd gasped and bowed in reverence.
“Greetings, Sect Master…” “Greetings, Sect Master.”
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
A sea of Tianxing Sect disciples displayed deferential expressions, their heads bowed to the middle-aged Confucian scholar who had manifested before them.
The person in front of him was the Sect Master of the Tianxing Sect, MO Tianxing.
MO Tianxing cast his gaze across the square, observing the fervent disciples below. An approving nod escaped him.
If the disciple was strong, the sect was strong. If the disciple was weak, the sect was weak.
As the saying went, the new generation surpassed the old. The future was the world of the young.
This generation of Tianxing Sect disciples brimmed with talent, but growth required time. These aging bones were the bulwark behind these fledglings, their guardians in need of protection.
He wished only for these disciples to mature swiftly and stand on their own.
At the moment, it was another good opportunity. It was the only chance he could get.
Peering down at the disciples, MO Tianxing voiced, “I assume you’ve all received word of the matter that brought you here today?”
Then, MO Tianxing continued, “Indeed, as you may have surmised, the remnants of an Immortal King’s cave abode have surfaced within Kyushu’s lands.’
“Gaining entry to this immortal king’s cave abode grants a chance at a tremendous opportunity, although peril will accompany it.”
“However, this Immortal King’s cave abode is ensconced in formidable restrictions. Only cultivators below the fifth-grade Golden Immortal rank are eligible to enter. Furthermore, there are limited spots.” “After discussion, our Tianxing Sect only has eleven spots..”
