Chapter 555: Various Parties Gathered

The South Sea of Shengzhou Continent.

This sea area is vast and endless, dotted with countless islands. Some islands are as vast as entire kingdoms. The waters are teeming with innumerable deep-sea genesis beasts, whose power is terrifying; even experts at the Divine Dwelling stage dare not venture deep into these waters.

Furthermore, the environment in the South Sea is extremely harsh, with numerous cataclysmic natural disasters constantly occurring. Being caught in one would surely mean a narrow escape from death.

This harsh environment has also made the South Sea a perilous region in the Shengzhou Continent. Typically, only desperate individuals who have offended major sects find themselves with no other choice but to flee into it.

However, recently, the South Sea has become the focus of countless factions across the entire Shengzhou Continent, and even the whole Cangxuan Heaven.

The reason, naturally, is the appearance of the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven here.

The Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven is a unique grand opportunity on the Shengzhou Continent. Over countless years, countless prodigies from Shengzhou Continent have benefited from it. It can be said that many of the current leaders of various powers on Shengzhou Continent likely entered the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven in their youth to gain opportunities, and it is quite possible that it was precisely for this reason that they were ultimately able to reach their current positions.

Thus, over time, the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven became increasingly prominent, and countless prodigies coveted it.

However, the appearance of the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven is somewhat random; no one can predict when it will next appear. Therefore, encountering it truly requires a certain degree of fortune, as once one breaks through to the Divine Dwelling stage, the opportunity to enter is lost.

And the prodigies of this generation are clearly quite lucky.

A certain sea area in the South Sea.

Currently, this place is abuzz with activity, and the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth is constantly in a state of effervescence, stirring up colossal waves on the sea below.

Above the sea, countless streaks of light soared from all directions, eventually hovering in various formations.

The various forces that had heard about the impending appearance of the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven had clearly dispatched their prodigies, attempting to seize opportunities within it that could allow them to achieve a major breakthrough.

For factions other than the six major giant sects, the prodigies they cultivated rarely managed to achieve six Divine Dwellings when breaking through to the Divine Dwelling stage, and higher qualities were exceedingly rare.

The appearance of the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven offered them great hope. As long as one obtained enough opportunities and collected enough Mystical Genesis Essence within it, they could condense a God-Constructing Divine Treasure. With even better luck, one might achieve a seven-color quality, which would be equivalent to seven Divine Dwellings.

If one could truly reach this level, upon returning to their sect, they would undoubtedly be regarded as a seed-level talent, nurtured with utmost care and cultivation. Such treatment would far surpass anything before, truly a leap to unprecedented heights.

Therefore, when the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven appeared, countless forces across the entire Cangxuan Heaven were set in motion.

The various groups that had arrived gazed eagerly ahead, where the space showed signs of distortion, with faint spatial cracks, from which an incredibly pure stream of Genesis Qi was leaking.

Beyond those shattered spaces lay the path to the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven.

The various forces gathered here displayed a strict hierarchy. More powerful factions occupied the front positions, while weaker ones could only stay further back.

However, the foremost positions were already occupied, with Genesis Qi radiance emanating from them, seemingly forming boundaries that prohibited other factions from entering.

Such actions could be described as domineering.

Yet, the forces present dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction, as the four factions at the very front were all ranked among the six major giant sects of Cangxuan Heaven.

The Sword-Asking Sect, Heavenly Ghost Mansion, Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace, and North Sea Suppressing Dragon Hall.

These were truly four colossal entities that dominated the entire Cangxuan Heaven.

The members of the Sword-Asking Sect were all gathered on a gigantic suspended sword. Incredibly sharp and formidable sword qi subtly emanated from it, causing the surrounding space to be constantly torn apart.

The Heavenly Ghost Mansion, on the other hand, appeared slightly sinister. Towering black mist surged, obscuring the sky and sun, accompanied by continuous sharp wails. These wails caused the Genesis Qi within people's bodies to show signs of disarray.

The Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace was the most eye-catching. Vibrant flower boats floated in the void, filled with charming and beautiful women. However, despite being composed entirely of beautiful women, no one dared to underestimate them; their ability to be one of the six major giant sects sufficiently demonstrated the strength of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace.

On the side of the North Sea Suppressing Dragon Hall, there was also a massive Dharma vessel. However, in front of it, eight green flood dragons were pulling it, and from within each, astonishingly violent Genesis Qi fluctuations emanated, clearly indicating they were no ordinary creatures.

All four major giant sects displayed significant pomp and amazing influence, far beyond what other forces could compare to.

Just then, a sound of tearing through the air suddenly echoed between heaven and earth. As the Genesis Qi of the world trembled, countless gazes witnessed a massive Dharma vessel pierce through the void, directly appearing in the central area of this sea.

The Dharma vessel landed closest to the distorted space.

At the same time, four gazes, imbued with immense pressure, were cast from the locations of the Sword-Asking Sect, Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace, Heavenly Ghost Mansion, and North Sea Suppressing Dragon Hall.

Peak Master Lianyi's figure appeared at the very front of the Dharma vessel. She gazed at the four directions and said with a smile, "You all arrived quite early."

Behind her, many disciples of the Cangxuan Sect also emerged, curiously surveying the bustling scene.

From the direction of the Sword-Asking Sect, a figure appeared and said with a laugh, "The Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven should open in half a day. Peak Master Lianyi, you've arrived just in time."

That figure, dressed in linen robes with silver hair, possessed an exceptionally handsome face and skin as tender and fair as a baby's. He gazed at Peak Master Lianyi, his eyes carrying a smile.

Peak Master Lianyi was slightly startled upon seeing him and said, "So it's Valley Master Yinxiao."

The Sword-Asking Sect had six valleys, and their Valley Masters were equivalent to the Peak Masters of the Cangxuan Sect.

Valley Master Yinxiao smiled, about to engage in more conversation, but Peak Master Lianyi turned her gaze away. This caused him to let out a bitter, somewhat melancholic sigh.

Behind him, the disciples of the Sword-Asking Sect all watched this scene with strange expressions. It was well known that Valley Master Yinxiao was extremely cold towards women in their Sword-Asking Sect. Why was he now so enthusiastic towards Peak Master Lianyi of the Cangxuan Sect? It seemed there was an old story behind this.

However, despite their curiosity, they clearly lacked the courage to ask Valley Master Yinxiao about the story.

At this moment, the heads of the Heavenly Ghost Mansion, Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace, and North Sea Suppressing Dragon Hall also appeared and greeted Peak Master Lianyi.

Peak Master Lianyi responded to each of them.

Zhou Yuan, who was among the crowd, also directed his gaze towards the other four major giant sects, muttering to himself, "I wonder if Qingyu, Lulou, and Lu Chunjun have come this time?"

Since their arrival on Shengzhou Continent, the group had separated. After that, apart from Zuoqiu Qingyu, Zhou Yuan had not encountered anyone else. With all the sects gathered this time, he wondered if they would be able to participate.

His gaze swept across the crowd, but due to the distance, he couldn't see clearly and had to withdraw his gaze. If they were also here, he should encounter them once they entered the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with the various parties, Peak Master Lianyi once again directed her gaze towards the increasingly distorted space.

Clearly, the Mystical Genesis Cave Heaven was not far from its true appearance.

Time rapidly slipped away under the hopeful gazes of countless observers.

Peak Master Lianyi looked up at the sky and said indifferently, "It's already this late, and the people from the Sacred Palace still haven't arrived. Are they truly going to put on airs and make their grand entrance at the very last moment?"

Her voice carried a hidden hint of mockery.

The other factions remained silent, clearly aware of the long-standing animosity between the Cangxuan Sect and the Sacred Palace.

However, just as Peak Master Lianyi's voice faded, a thunderous sound seemed to reverberate between heaven and earth. Then, everyone saw the space in front of them begin to crack. A gigantic hand slowly extended from within, carrying a white mountain on its back, and upon this mountain, numerous figures emerged.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, at the very top of the white mountain, a black-robed figure sitting cross-legged opened his eyes. His eyes were like abysses, filled with a terrifying oppressive might capable of suppressing heaven and earth, and they fixed upon Peak Master Lianyi.

Rumble! The space around the Cangxuan Sect's Dharma vessel immediately began to collapse. A destructive force, like a tidal wave, surged from all directions, as if to crush the Dharma vessel entirely. The many disciples standing on the vessel all changed color, clearly not expecting such a prominent figure from the Sacred Palace to directly attack without a word.

At the same time, an indifferent voice emanated from the black-robed figure sitting on the peak. "Heh heh, it's been many years, and Peak Master Lianyi is still as impetuous as ever. But the Cangxuan Sect is no longer what it used to be. Shouldn't you exercise a little more restraint? Since you insist, then I shall teach Peak Master Lianyi a lesson today."
