Chapter 37 Supreme Treasure Qiankun Mirror, the Hunting Conference Begins
Gu Changsheng had no idea that a woman was secretly gnashing her teeth at him.
The matter of the Void Body was temporarily set aside by him without much concern.
In an era of great competition with countless geniuses, the emergence of a Void Body was not particularly surprising.
The next day, a terrifying pressure surged from above Northern Wasteland City. Several blurry figures appeared in the air, each exuding immense power far beyond the Unity Return Realm.
At the forefront stood a tall man in green, none other than the City Lord of Northern Wasteland City.
Beside him, one figure had mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon embroidered on his sleeves, radiating an overwhelming aura.
Another figure wore a crown of purple and gold, resembling an ancient emperor, while others included a Daoist in a robe holding a whisk, and a noblewoman clad in a flowing robe adorned with cloud patterns.
These were the same individuals who had appeared at the edge of the Northern Wasteland Sacred Tomb before.
Such a spectacle instantly attracted most of the cultivators in Northern Wasteland City.
Many young people guessed the significance of the event, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
“Is the Hunting Conference finally about to begin? As long as I can achieve a good ranking, I’ll gain access to a powerful cultivation technique!”
“One thousand years ago, a senior from our sect hunted monsters during the Hunting Conference and was rewarded with divine abilities. Today, he is the Grand Elder!”
For them, this was an opportunity—an opportunity to rise.
The gifts bestowed by the immortal sects, regardless of what they were, would be invaluable to them.
The Northern Wasteland City Lord scanned the crowd below, sighing inwardly before speaking in a voice as resonant as a great bell:
“As many of you have guessed, the once-in-a-millennium Hunting Conference is about to be held in Northern Wasteland City. An anomaly has occurred at the Northern Wasteland Sacred Tomb, 30,000 miles east of here. Undying matter has emerged, causing the spiritual intelligence of beasts within a radius of several thousand miles to be lost, plunging them into darkness. Three days ago, a tide of dark beasts began sweeping toward Northern Wasteland City!”
In his view, the arrival of the dark beast tide would inevitably bring destruction to all living beings in its path, regardless of the outcome.
It was a tragedy he hoped to prevent.
However, to his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, the entire city erupted in cheers and excitement.
Everyone was overjoyed, even relieved.
“That’s great! I knew it would be the Hunting Conference!”
“Indeed! The three Immortal Families are here, along with other immortal sects. It could only be the once-in-a-millennium Hunting Conference! I must achieve a good ranking, gain divine abilities, and ascend to greatness!”
“What of the dark beast tide? With the Immortal Families and immortal sects present, how could it pose a threat? This is just a method to temper their disciples!”
Many cultivators in the city began discussing enthusiastically.
The Northern Wasteland City Lord could only smile wryly. These people had never experienced the cruelty of a dark beast tide and were completely unaware of its dangers. Instead, they were full of anticipation.
But he refrained from saying more, as the immortal sects were watching.
“How is the Hunting Conference ranking determined?” a curious young man asked.
“During the Hunting Conference, the sky will display the Qiankun Mirror, an extraordinary treasure forged collectively by the major immortal sects. It was crafted from billions of pounds of starmetal from the heavens, several uninhabited celestial bodies, and numerous rare divine materials.”
“It records everyone’s identity and the number of dark beasts they have slain, ranking them accurately.”
An elder in the city sighed as he explained.
What an incredible feat!
The Qiankun Mirror was a treasure that required the combined efforts of many powerful beings to activate. Those fortunate enough to have seen it described it as the size of a mountain, radiating brilliance like a star.
At that moment, a rumbling sound emanated from the depths of Northern Wasteland City, as if a blazing sun was being pushed forward.
Dazzling light rose, illuminating all directions.
Endless runes formed a sea of symbols, their networks intertwining with the heavens and connecting all four corners.
It was a star—a star plucked from the heavens and refined to a fraction of its original size.
“Has the Qiankun Mirror been activated?” In the Gu Family’s estate, Gu Changsheng rose, his eyes flashing with divine symbols as he looked in that direction. He was naturally familiar with this treasure.
It was currently in the custody of the Immortal Ying Clan, which had outshone all other forces a thousand years ago.
It was said that, at full power, it could annihilate a sect armed with an ancestral saint artifact!
As the Qiankun Mirror floated in the sky, the heavens seemed to transform into a hazy landscape painting.
On it, the names of sects and their disciples began to appear:
Immortal Gu Family: Gu Changsheng, Gu Minghuang, Gu Guangming…
Immortal Ying Family: Ying Er, Ying Nie…
Immortal Qin Family: Qin Qingqing, Qin Haoyue…

Even the names of rogue cultivators appeared.
Nearly every cultivator in Northern Wasteland City with a cultivation level above the Earth-Cracking Realm and an age under fifty was listed!
“I see my name!”
“So do I!”
Many were astonished by the incomprehensible and terrifying capabilities of the treasure.
“I can even see the name of my sect and myself! This treasure is incredible. How does it know and record our identities?”
“I don’t know. This is a power only the immortal sects possess!”
While everyone remained in awe, the sky twisted and blurred as a group of elders exuding overwhelming power appeared. Their aura surged like dragons.
“The Hunting Conference begins!”
An elder clad in a golden robe announced.
