Chapitre 62: Rivals Assemble
The air within the stadium today was sharp and vibrant with competitive energy. The final event of the Immortal Sect Competition was the most prestigious and competitive. Although Chen Wentian's sect had stunned everyone during the first two events, ultimately the road to cultivation was still very long. The two girls that shined bright like the sun still had a long way to go to become an immortal. The Spirit Initiate Realm experts that came to the competition have all been longing to display their power and snatch fame and glory from the juniors that came before.
"Glacier Palace is first!" The announcer yelled for the first batch of competitors come forward.
A group of ravishing women in white dresses drew the eyes of every male in the stadium. There were eleven total, six at the 10th level of the Spirit Initiate Realm and five at the 9th Level. However, they soon became enraptured by the one at the front. The robe she wore was even whiter than the purest snow. She didn't walk but instead seemed to glide on a cloud of frost and ice.
Her face was hidden by a veil but one could still see the perfect white skin of her delicate neck, the glossy black hair that fell down to her waist, and the piercing blue eyes filled with intelligence and charm. She was a truly astonishing beauty. Her features were absolutely exquisite. As she moved, her ample bosom gave minute tremors that shook men's hearts. Her robes seemed to cling to her hips as they swayed at the just the right angles, not in an obscene way, but in a way that captivated the imagination.
Snow Fairy Long Yifei! All the cultivators that knew anything about the region instantly knew her name. While Immortal Frost Diamond Murong Aiyin was a fearsome ice witch, Snow Fairy Long Yifei was a true gentlewoman and an angel that descended from the heavens. Her talent was astonishing. Although she was now thirty-two years old, it was said that she had already reached the 10th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm before the age of thirty. Her beauty, her talent, her character, she was perfect in every way and the dream of all men.
"Divine Blazing Mountain come forth!"
In stark contrast to the Glacier Palace beauties, a group of fiery men in red robes marched up in unison. The air seemed to grow hot instantly as they let forth their burning spiritual aura. As they got onto the stage, the girls from Glacier Palace felt the heat and let out their cold frost energy in response. Soon the entire stage seemed split into two zones, equally matched, one of bone chilling frost against one of scorching heat.
The leader of the group was Blaze Knight Fen Ziping. He was thirty-three but still looked like a young and dashing prince with a chiseled face and piercing black eyes. He was a figure as equally well known as Long Yifei. But instead of fame, he was known far and wide for his infamy as the 'wife bandit'. It was common knowledge that his sexual appetite knew no bounds and that he kidnapped many women, married or otherwise, to serve as his dual cultivation cauldrons. He would even steal the wives of other Divine Blazing Mountain disciples. He was never punished though as he was the only son of the sect master, the prime disciple of the sect, and the one closest on the path to immortality.
Fen Ziping's eyes never left Long Yifei as soon as he saw her. He examined every inch of her body with obvious intent and didn't bother to hide his desire. If he could have her and those ten other women as his cauldrons… he estimated it would be more than enough for him to cultivate to the Spirit Lord Realm within a year. Immortality was so close, right at his fingertips, and yet it was so far away!
Beast God Sanctum had the largest group at more than twenty experts and a majority of them were from the Eagle Lord's faction. Strangely, Lion Lord He Zicheng didn't fight for many spots for his men while the Snake Lord's people were completely absent.
The experts from the Tower of Swords added their own sword and blade spiritual energy into the mix. They were the same group that Peng Yuefeng had shown to Chen Wentian previously. The leader of the group was the Lonely Hero, Peng Xiling. From his aura, his cultivation was among the strongest on stage. He was extremely handsome to the point of outshining some of the women on stage. He carried himself with a calm and fearless aura and his reputation was also good among the common people.
There were other experts and famous people from smaller immortal sects that joined the stage. They had been suppressed by the big-name sects for the first two events and this was their last opportunity to showcase their abilities. Even though they weren't as well known, they were still immortal sects and had many elders and core disciples that were notable and impressive. Even the smallest sect was able to field at least five late stage Spirit Initiate Realm experts. They bristled at their competition, eager to fight and gain back some glory.
Finally, the last sect was called, "Ten Thousand Flower Valley, come up!"
All eyes turned in curiosity at what kind of genius Chen Wentian would bring forth. Perhaps they were too unnerved by the prior two geniuses, but they all seemed to let out a combined sigh of relief as Wu Qianyu walked forward alone. Although her talent was obviously great considering to her age, everyone felt relieved as there was nothing one person could do against the army of experts already assembled.
There were many 10th Level Spirit Initiate Realm cultivators on stage and many of them had been at the peak for years. They've spent five, ten, or even more than fifteen years seeking their path to immortality. They were the best of the best within their sects and well-known experts in the region, each with their own fame and accomplishments. They weren't spring chickens but veterans with abundant experience.
There was a huge difference in power between those that have been at the peak of the 10th level for many years and those that just got there. Those at the peak have been ceaselessly cultivating, studying, and improving their understanding of spiritual energy and the world. Their practice of their cultivation arts and their Dao were deeper and more profound than anybody except their masters. In fact, it was not uncommon for the one that got first place in this event to become an immortal later on.
