Chapter 479: Chapter 467: Adding to the Festivities
Wang Xuan’s attire and demeanor truly resemble a refined and genteel gentleman becoming an immortal, completely unlike the overbearing Taoist in everyone’s impression.
Of course, this is because people do not know his habit of being low-key in personal affairs while high-profile in actions, nor do they know how much progress he has made in cultivating both mind and body. Furthermore, on the day of the grand wedding, in front of all the mentors, there was no need to showcase the aura that could engulf mountains and rivers.
However, he and Lin Cheng as a couple stood radiantly in the center of the crowd, their dazzling red wedding attire was truly stunning.
Many Fairies looked at Lin Cheng with envy, while one young hero after another was captivated by Wang Xuan’s demeanor.
On the floating Jade Platform, two Celestial Immortal True Inheritors from top-tier Mountain Gates walked down; the winner was naturally rejoicing, having taken all the prize.
Seeing this, Wang Xuan said loudly, "On the day of my wedding, it does not seem appropriate for me to take the stage, and it would be bullying younger people.
I have a disciple who is of age, he has entered the Limit Domain three times and is currently at the Sky Realm.
His talent is decent, and his diligence in cultivation is commendable. However, as his teacher, I am not always by his side, and his knowledge is somewhat lacking.
Is there any senior willing to let their disciple take the stage and offer some guidance to my inexperienced disciple?
As the groom, I feel embarrassed to have young people act for nothing, so I will offer some prizes.
As long as a participant is in the Sky or Divinity Transformation Realm, whoever defeats my disciple will receive three Top Grade Golden Body Pills. These pills can help cultivators below the Dharma Body to forge a Golden Body in advance, making their Golden Body complete at the Peak of Dharma Body.
Anyone willing to accept the challenge can step onto the stage."
Hongze was eager to witness the elegance of Mountain Gate True Inheritors, and his intent to participate was strong. After mentioning it to his master, Wang Xuan granted his wish.
Moreover, such a disciple is truly outstanding, capable of earning Wang Xuan pride.
After all, even among the True Disciples of Immortal Holy Land, only one percent might have the brilliance of entering the Limit Domain once.
As for entering three times consecutively, that truly resembles the bearing of a Saint Heir of a Holy Land. Wang Xuan, not yet in the True Tier, managed to train such a disciple, evidencing his capability.
"This Wang Xuan, to think he has such a disciple? I never would have thought he is not only adept at combat and cultivation but also an excellent teacher."
Bear King both envied and admired him, as he hasn’t even taken a single disciple yet, unsatisfied with his own cultivation level and insight, and having not found a suitable disciple.
Now, he can only watch as Wang Xuan sends his disciple to the stage.
Perhaps it won’t be long before Wang Xuan, as the teacher, won’t need to intervene with problems, as his disciple would handle them.
Three times entering the Limit Domain, this young man named Hongze might be the next Wang Xuan.
Ultimate brilliance, renowned across the heavens.
Every Immortal Aspirant has such aspirations, that is the heroic dream of a man.
Hongze stepped onto the stage; in this setting, he holds a very junior position, considered a fourth-generation True Disciple of Immortal Martial Mountain.
Yet his extraordinary talent surpasses ninety-nine percent of many third-generation disciples, and with his master as the Immortal Martial Taoist Wang Xuan, naturally, none dares to underestimate him.
Many are eager to try, driven not just by bravado in front of others but also by Wang Xuan’s prizes—three Top Grade Golden Body Pills not found in the market, exceptionally valuable.
Many are suitable to take the stage, young people aged twenty-five to thirty mostly in the Vajra, Sky, or Divinity Transformation Realm, and the more outstanding they are, the more they would solidify their foundation in the realm.
Such as Wang Xuan’s first venture into the Otherworld, among the young outstanding figures entering the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm with him were Zhuang Shuixing of Immortal Martial Mountain, Gumeng, Zhuge Xian, Chen Hong of Eight Dragon Temple, Zhang Qingyu of Celestial Master’s Mansion, Hua Nian of True Martial Mountain, Fang Wuji of Celestial Sword Mountain, Gai Zhushen.
Those with higher cultivation included Wang Huatian of Immortal Martial Mountain, who is Wang Xuan’s family member, as well as Liu Weiyang and Long Jiyuan, and Celestial Sword Mountain had Jing Yishui and Lei Tingzhi.
Today, most of them have stepped into the Vajra, with a few fortunate ones already in the Sky Realm and Divinity Transformation Realm.
These talents, who back then could stand on the same starting line or even ahead of Wang Xuan, now can only contend with Wang Xuan’s disciple.
More heartbreaking for them is that only one or two among them have the corresponding strength to take the stage, with a low probability of victory.
Considering this, constrained by pride and capability, they are deeply conflicted about whether to take the stage.
Nevertheless, many eager young ones, possessing extraordinary courage and spirit, come forward to fight.
"Nine Sun Temple, Chen Sanbao, Peak of Sky Control."
"Immortal Martial Mountain, Hongze, Mid-Sky Control Stage."
After speaking, the power of their Golden Cores surged instantly, their whole bodies enveloped in milky white and pale golden light, like two bright bulbs crashing into one another.
...
High above the Guest Reception Square, many Half-Step Immortal creatures concealed themselves in the void, more than forty Immortal seats floated, each exuding an aura capable of disintegrating even the Celestial Immortal Primordial Spirit and flesh body.
If they were to unleash their full might, a single one could destroy all life on a medium-sized Life Planet, not leaving a single cell.
Likewise, if they wished to create a Life Planet from scratch, transplant various races, and develop an Interstellar Civilization, it would also be an easy feat.
Each of them here has emerged from mountains of corpses and blood seas, the blood on their hands measured in billions of lives.
Their merit to Earth Civilization is also immeasurable, reverred, and admired by countless citizens of Earth.
Thunder Celestial Venerable, with her petite figure, displayed no expression. Though short, her strength was among the top ranks, and none dared to look down upon her.
Mere appearances have long ceased to matter in the eyes of beings of this level.
"The chariot of civilization speeds forward, with cultivators as the pioneers and millions as the toilers, yet now both sides harbor dissatisfaction. How do you propose to resolve this?"
Xie Xiaoxian asked, which was also the topic for this gathering of powerful beings.
This discussion concerned the class conflict within Earth Civilization; it was evident there existed a vast chasm between ordinary people and powerful cultivators, and resource distribution was similarly imbalanced.
"In the world today, ninety percent of the merits are due to Immortals and True Immortals; we are the sword that cuts through numerous thorns, shedding blood and tears aplenty.
The cake of Earth Civilization grows larger, and the extra portion was taken from alien races with our strength, and we hold it with ease of mind.
Those ordinary people, their lives of no want in food and drink, compared to five hundred years ago, the resources they gain are perhaps a hundredfold!
Born equal, they have the right to coexist under this sky, naturally born with nothing, reliant on parental help and their two hands to carve out life, rather than expect an even share of the world’s resources.
If they do not think to be grateful, what right do they have to bear grievances?
Mere ants, mediocre folks, what do they want, to demand from outside with their fist, we won’t stop them.
As for those with no courage for outward expansion, yet wanting to take from our plate, what are they relying on? Word of crying, resentment, slandering us?"
The Black Stone Valve Master from North America sneered, a tall figure, possessing a fourth of indifference, a third of aloofness, and a third of gentlemanly demeanor, covered in black flames.
Cultivators of North America revere wealth and power, wealth as a resource, a resource to aid their cultivation, transmuting into power, and power can birth authority, fame, to earn more wealth for them.
This is a wonderful cycle and their path to power; the mighty grow mightier while the weak should be culled, a part of their beliefs.
Today’s topic evidently calls for dividing the cake on their plate, how could it not make the Black Stone Valve Master displeased?
