Chapter 1635: Ice Spirit Heavenly Palace
"Senior Sister Yu?"
Ling Feng looked at Tuoba Yan, then at Fairy Qingping, completely unable to understand when these two women had become so close.
A faint smile curved on Tuoba Yan's lovely face.
"Senior Sister Yu is a good sister of mine. This time, she's traveling with us to participate in the Sunset Heaven Selection. What, is that not allowed?"
Ling Feng felt curious, but he could not be bothered to ask further. He simply replied, "There's no problem with that."
Fairy Qingping lightly pressed her lips together.
In truth, after she had left Ling Feng's Young Emperor Residence in disappointment that day, Tuoba Yan had actually sought her out on her own initiative. She had spoken many words that Fairy Qingping only half understood, words that left her thoughtful and confused in equal measure.
Still, whatever Tuoba Yan's intentions had been, the two women had indeed formed a friendship of sorts. Traveling together was nothing strange.
More importantly, in Fairy Qingping's heart, she was quite willing to spend more time around Ling Feng.
Not long after, Li Fei and Feng Ling also gathered at Ling Feng's side.
For a time, beautiful women surrounded him from every direction, each radiant in her own way, each dazzling enough to turn heads. It was a sight so enviable that it made countless others green with jealousy.
Even Chu Tiange, Xu Xinghe, Ning Guichen, and the others who were familiar with Ling Feng did not dare move too close to him.
The murderous stares from the surrounding male disciples were simply too hard to endure.
Helian Xiao, the fourth ranked Young Emperor, gave a cold snort and said sourly, "This brat's luck with women is absurdly good. He was already entangled with Dongling Immortal Pool's former number one beauty, and now even Fairy Hanyan seems unusually close to him."
Xu Ming kept his gaze on Tuoba Yan, admiration and regret both showing in his eyes.
"A flower already claimed. What a pity."
Murong Bai's eyes rested briefly on Tuoba Yan before quietly withdrawing.
In his eyes, only Tuoba Yan was worthy of competing against him.
As for Ling Feng, he still lacked enough weight.
Ling Feng had cultivated in the Spirit Turtle Sacred Sanctuary for an entire month, and his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, everyone's understanding of his power was still frozen at where he had been a month ago.
Naturally, no one believed he possessed the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Inner Sect's top three.
After all, who could imagine that in a single month, someone could undergo such a terrifying breakthrough?
...
The crowd waited quietly for the once in ten years Sunset Heaven Selection to begin.
Suddenly, space split open.
A magnificent palace appeared out of thin air.
The sixty elite disciples chosen to compete all revealed expressions of awe and excitement.
"That's the Ice Spirit Heavenly Palace! One of Dongling Immortal Pool's three great celestial artifacts! Are we actually taking this treasure directly to Long Xiao Sacred Mountain?"
Quite a few disciples recognized it immediately.
To travel aboard such a majestic immortal palace, wrapped in flowing immortal mist and radiating overwhelming grandeur, was undeniably prestigious. It perfectly suited Dongling Immortal Pool's status as the supreme overlord of the Dongling Region.
If they simply used a teleportation array instead, it would feel embarrassingly plain by comparison.
"Damn, I never thought I'd live to step inside the Ice Spirit Heavenly Palace even once! Hahaha, just qualifying for the Sunset Heaven Selection already makes this worth it!"
The disciples who had earned the right to compete were all visibly thrilled.
Meanwhile, those who could only attend as spectators looked toward the sixty disciples standing at the center of the square with naked envy.
A celestial artifact of this level was not something ordinary Inner Sect elders were qualified to ride. Without a grand event like the Sunset Heaven Selection, they would likely never have such a chance in their entire lives.
In the next moment, a bridge of ice formed from condensed spiritual energy stretched down from the void and landed before them.
"Participating disciples, enter at once!"
Saint Lady Bi Luo's majestic voice drifted down from above, distant yet commanding.
The sixty Inner Sect elites immediately stepped forward and entered together.
...
The Sunset Heaven Selection, also known as the Three Sacreds Grand Selection, was a contest among the finest geniuses of the Dongling Region's three great sacred lands.
Without question, Dongling Immortal Pool stood as the Big Brother among the three sacred lands. Under its banner, outstanding talents emerged in endless numbers.
Yet this generation was different.
This was an age of monsters.
Monstrous geniuses were appearing one after another.
Dongling Immortal Pool had recruited many such monsters, but Yunluo Sacred Land and Wulei Sacred Land were flourishing just as fiercely.
For the disciples, breaking into the top hundred meant earning entry into Sunset Ancient City and obtaining opportunities that could change their fate.
For the sects, however, the stakes were far greater.
Especially for Dongling Immortal Pool, they needed to claim at least five of the top ten positions to firmly preserve their dominant standing.
Because the Three Sacreds Grand Selection was more than a competition on the surface.
In the unseen currents of fate, it was also a war to seize the fortune of heaven and earth for one's sect.
