Chapter 454: Round Table
"From what we know, Guan Rui didn’t buy the modified cultivation technique. She seems to have looted it from some foreign cultivators." Jiang Yue explained and Yu Nianzhen frowned.
"Have you placed a caution on our world mountain’s stone monument?" Yu Nianzhen questioned.
"Don’t worry. I hung a caution on the stone monument and several places in this arena."
"As expected, I am relieved when XiaoYue handles things."
Hearing that, Jiang Yue smiled happily and continued to talk to his husband.
After spending three days together, Jiang Yue went to the trading area to arrange the necessary formations.
While Jiang Yue was busy, Yu Nianzhen was practising his swordsmanship.
Occasionally, he invited Wei Ge and others to spar with him.
In this way, ten years passed and all the preparations for the upcoming event were completed.
At the same time, Yu Nianzhen developed the first move of his Dao Transcending sword art.
Unfortunately, time was limited and he didn’t have enough of it to perfect the first move.
However, Yu Nianzhen was satisfied.
Although the first sword move of his natal sword art was not perfect, it was more powerful than the sword intent of the Infinite Blizzard sword art, the Space Annihilating sword intent, and his previous Heaven Dominating sword art.
Since everything was ready, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen left the Cangxing martial arena and returned to the Cangxing mountain to continue waiting for the event to start.
.....
At a hidden place in the second zone of the Reincarnation World, twelve people were sitting around a round table.
Among the twelve, eight were men and four were women.
At a glance, each of them was at the ninth level of the reincarnation realm and their body exuded a terrifying qi presence.
"Fellow mountain masters, we will lower our status if we participate in this kind of thing." A young man spoke without concealing his disdain.
"Fellow mountain master Jun is right. Our top-grade worlds are different from the lower-grade worlds. There is no need to lower our status." Another young man spoke and then continued.
"Most importantly, a high-grade mine is barely useful to us."
"You can’t say that, fellow mountain master Zhong." A young woman refuted.
"The high-grade mine belonging to the Cangxing mountain has more than twenty million high-grade reincarnation stones. It’s rare to find a mine with so many reincarnation stones."
"Fellow mountain master Bi has a point. Although we look down on high-grade reincarnation stones, having them is still useful." One of the male cultivators spoke and most of the others nodded.
After all, their world mountains had a lot of cultivators.
Among their world mates, there were a disappointing few who couldn’t get on the stage.
Such cultivators rarely had a share of top-grade reincarnation stones and could only rely on high-grade ones.
Also, each top-grade world mountain had subordinate worlds in other zones.
If the high-grade reincarnation stones were acquired, they could be used to reward the subordinate foreign cultivators.
"There is another thing." One of the mountain masters spoke and everyone turned to him.
Seeing this, the young man smiled and some of the other mountain masters involuntarily shuddered.
’Why do I feel that someone is about to get unlucky?’ They thought.
"Does fellow mountain master Liang have something on his mind?" The mountain master surnamed Jun asked.
"A low-grade world mountain master dares to do this kind of thing without asking for permission. It seems the Cangxing world doesn’t take us seriously." Liang Shi said and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"I have the same mind as fellow mountain master Liang." A female cultivator spoke and everyone turned to her.
"My Eternal Light Mountain hates this kind of mountain master who has no bottom line. It’s not his turn to create chaos in the Reincarnation World." Murong Fei spoke and several people shuddered.
Murong Fei was the mountain master of the Eternal Light Mountain which was the first ranked top-grade world.
Most importantly, she was recognised as not only the most beautiful female in the Reincarnation world but also the most powerful cultivator.
Since she arrived in the Reincarnation World, Murong Fei had never lost against an opponent at the same level.
During the grand competition for allocating time caves, everyone wished to avoid her because no one could defeat her.
"What fellow mountain master Murong said makes sense." A red-haired young man spoke.
"Is mountain master Huo Ren agreeing with mountain master Murong Fei?" Someone asked in disbelief.
Although the Eternal Light Mountain and Raging Flame Mountain were not life and death enemies, the relationship was not good.
Maybe because most of the cultivators in the Raging Flame Mountain had fire origins, their nature was wild.
They were impulsive and often got into conflicts with foreign cultivators.
On the other hand, cultivators from the Eternal Light Mountain were innately righteous.
They liked to punish evil and reward justice.
Because of this, the cultivators from the Eternal Light Mountain didn’t like the temperamental cultivators from the Raging Flame Mountain.
"A little more than sixty years ago, some of my Raging Flame Mountain cultivators encountered the mountain master and deputy mountain master of the Cangxing mountain." Huo Ren said and the other mountain masters were immediately hooked.
"What about the mountain master and deputy mountain master?" Someone asked.
"The two are soul-bound Taoist companions." Huo Ren said and sneered in disgust.
In his opinion, it was a waste to bind oneself to only one Taoist companion.
He felt that a cultivator’s life was long and marrying many concubines was the best way to pass the time.
"From my information, the mountain master is a swordsman and the deputy is an illusion master. Their Taoist titles are....interesting." Liang Shi said after a slight pause.
"Their Taoist titles? What are they?" One of the mountain masters who hadn’t bothered to investigate asked.
"The mountain master is titled the Supreme Sword God and the deputy is titled the Lord of Infinite Illusions." Liang Shi said and the room fell silent.
Seeing this, Liang Shi smiled with a deceptively gentle expression.
No matter which, all of them were the top geniuses of their respective worlds.
When they heard the Taoist titles of the two people, they couldn’t help but feel unhappy.
After all, Taoist titles were not a matter of one world.
Although the titles were issued by the will of the respective worlds, the will of the world was not completely independent.
From what everyone understood, the will of the world was connected to the way of heaven that governed the entire Ten Thousand Worlds realm.
Looking at it from this perspective, their realm’s way of heaven had recognised the mountain master and the deputy mountain master of the Cangxing mountain as towering existences in the Ten Thousand Worlds realm.
"What are their names?" Murong Fei asked, her eyes narrowed to almost a straight line.
When she first heard of the challenge event, she didn’t take it seriously.
However, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t tolerate it.
She felt the Cangxing mountain didn’t know its place and was creating havoc in the Reincarnation World.
Because of this, she planned to send a few people to participate in the challenge event to teach the mountain master a lesson.
Unexpectedly, she was invited to the round table and learned so many things that made her uncomfortable.
"The mountain master is called Yu Nianzhen and the deputy is Jiang Yue. Both are very good-looking." Liang Shi said and chuckled in amusement.
"They are also very arrogant." Huo Ren said and told everything that happened in the first mountain of the Boundless Mountain range.
"Are they so lawless?" Jun Jinglong asked with a frown on his face.
"They are also smart." A female cultivator said.
This female cultivator was called Han Lexi and she was the mountain master of the Flowing Clouds Mountain.
"If mountain master Yu can defeat everyone who challenges him, he will buy an additional one thousand years for the Cangxing mountain. With the resources gotten from the event, one thousand years is enough to cultivate a few people to the second or third level of the reincarnation realm." Han Lexi analysed.
"How can it be that easy?" Jun Jinglong sneered.
"The chance of winning everyone is almost negligible."
"I don’t think so." Han Lexi said.
"I also don’t think so." Liang Shi said and then continued.
"Since he dares to do this kind of thing, he should have some confidence. Who knows, maybe we will see the birth of an unparalleled legend in the Reincarnation World."
Hearing this, Murong Fei and some of the others frowned.
For thousands of years, Murong Fei was the top existence in the Reincarnation World.
When she heard that someone could possibly replace her, a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Han Lexi sighed and shook her head.
’’This Liang Shi is too good at inciting people.’ Han Lexi thought.
However, everything had nothing to do with her.
She didn’t really care about the mine or the self-righteous things discussed in the meeting.
However, she was not opposed to watching a good show.
