Chapter 615: Open Fire

In the sky beyond the valley, Genesis Qi formed clouds, upon which many figures stood. Powerful Genesis Qi fluctuations emanated from their bodies, exuding an astonishing aura.

At the forefront of the Sacred Palace contingent, Jiang Taixuan stood with his hands behind his back, a smile playing on his lips. To his left was Jin Chanzi, with golden hair and a disdainful, domineering gaze. To his right stood a girl with snow-white skin, dressed in a black gown. Her appearance was extremely charming, with delicate features. She stood quietly, her skirt fluttering gently in the breeze, appearing quite delicate and pitiful.

However, only those who knew her true nature understood the demonic ruthlessness hidden beneath that seemingly delicate facade.

Zhan Taiqing of the Sacred Palace ranked third on the Saint Genesis Continent's Chosen list, trailing only Jiang Taixuan and Chu Qing.

Clearly, this time, upon hearing about the Seven-Colored Treasure Land, the Sacred Palace had deployed almost all of its top forces.

Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, and others, standing on the various mountaintops, looked on with solemn expressions at the Sacred Palace's display.

"Jiang Taixuan, when this area was initially allocated, our Cangxuan Sect was responsible for clearing it. Now that we've finally achieved some results, you're already impatient to come and pluck the fruits. Such a greedy display is quite unseemly," Chu Qing remarked with a smile, his bald head gleaming in the sunlight as he stared at Jiang Taixuan.

Jiang Taixuan replied, "You shouldn't put it that way. Our Sacred Palace merely didn't have the time to clear this area until now."

He narrowed his long eyes and smiled slightly, "Chu Qing, there's no need to waste time with pointless talk. Will your Cangxuan Sect retreat or not? Just one word."

His words were light, yet the indifference and dominance he exuded were no longer concealed.

Chu Qing chuckled lazily, took a step forward, and said, "If the Sacred Palace wishes to spar, our Cangxuan Sect will accept the challenge today."

The moment his voice fell, an astonishing surge of azure Genesis Qi, like a storm, erupted from his body. The mountain peak beneath his feet could not withstand the pressure of his Genesis Qi and began to crack.

Chu Qing's robes flapped noisily, even without wind.

Potent Genesis Qi condensed in the void behind him, forming a sky full of stars.

Although Chu Qing was usually exceptionally lazy, he understood that a confrontation was unavoidable in such a situation. Since that was the case, they might as well fight.

As the head Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect, Chu Qing, though inherently lazy, also understood the responsibility he bore.

Zhou Yuan, at the valley entrance, also looked up at Chu Qing's figure. Seeing the anomaly of Genesis Qi transforming into stars behind him, an expression of awe appeared in his eyes.

This was because the Genesis Qi stars manifested by Chu Qing were several times more powerful in scale compared to his own.

"The number of Genesis Qi stars in Senior Brother Chu Qing's Qi Dwelling must be at least sixty or seventy thousand..." Zhou Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration internally. "Senior Brother Chu Qing, being able to become the head Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect, truly possesses strength far exceeding ordinary people."

With such Genesis Qi reserves, even without the aid of a Divine Building wonder, he could easily open six Divine Dwellings upon reaching the Divine Dwelling stage.

When Chu Qing's Genesis Qi erupted, revealing his stance, the other Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect also unleashed their Genesis Qi without hesitation. Instantly, waves of astonishing Genesis Qi fluctuations shot skyward across the land, a truly magnificent sight.

"Chu Qing, this choice of yours truly disappoints me," Jiang Taixuan said lightly, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at the powerful Genesis Qi surging skyward.

"Since you are so uncooperative, don't blame my Sacred Palace."

As his final words fell, Jiang Taixuan's white hair suddenly flew wildly, and white Genesis Qi erupted from his body, an astonishing Genesis Qi pressure spreading outwards.

Behind him, Zhan Taiqing's delicate tongue lightly licked her red lips, an excited glint flashing in her crimson eyes. The next moment, blood-red Genesis Qi erupted.

Jin Chanzi sneered, and emerald Genesis Qi condensed on his body surface. It was as if liquid dripped from his fingertips, instantly corroding any trees it touched below.

The other Chosen of the Sacred Palace also activated their Genesis Qi.

At once, the top disciples of the two major sects displayed their fierce intent.

The atmosphere was charged with extreme tension.

While the two sects confronted each other, many eyes from afar were also watching.

These were Chosen from various sects who had received the news and rushed over from all directions. Among them, the four major sects—Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace, Sword-Asking Sect, Heavenly Ghost Mansion, and Northern Sea Dragon-Suppressing Hall—were also watching closely.

"It seems the Sacred Palace and Cangxuan Sect are truly going to fight this time." At the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace's position, many charming women were gathered, creating a striking sight. At the head of the group was a tall woman.

The woman had a captivating and beautiful face, with platinum blonde hair. She wore palace attire, and her figure was remarkably domineering. Her shapely curves were like those of a siren, causing many eyes around to secretly glance her way.

She was Gong Wan, the head Chosen of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace, a very well-known figure on the Saint Genesis Continent.

At this moment, she watched the two confronting parties in the distance with great interest.

Behind her, the other Chosen of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace were also gathered, and Zuoqiu Qingyu and Luoluo were among them. Both women looked towards the Cangxuan Sect's side, eventually spotting Yaoyao's figure.

"Yaoyao is truly amazing..." Luoluo said with envy.

Hearing this, Gong Wan suddenly leaned closer to Luoluo, wrapped her slender arm around Luoluo's waist, and smilingly asked, "Little Luoluo, is her name Yaoyao?"

Luoluo nodded and said, "She's our friend who came to the Saint Genesis Continent with us!"

Gong Wan's charming large eyes fluttered, and she lightly bit her red lip, gazing at the distant figure. "Is that so? A while ago, I was ambushed by that green-skinned ghost from Heavenly Ghost Mansion, and it was thanks to her help."

She smiled at Luoluo and said, "Little Luoluo, could you introduce her to me sometime?"

Her beautiful eyes were moist, her cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness.

Luoluo was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused, but her intuition told her that Gong Wan seemed to be hinting at something inappropriate.

Zuoqiu Qingyu, standing nearby, immediately pulled Luoluo behind her and stared at Gong Wan warily, her gaze like that of a rival in love. "Senior Sister Gong Wan, you should stop trying to get Yaoyao's attention. She won't be interested in you."

Zuoqiu Qingyu understood Gong Wan's gaze towards Yaoyao perfectly, recognizing a kindred spirit!

Gong Wan pouted and asked, "Why not?"

Zuoqiu Qingyu retorted testily, "She already has someone she likes."

Gong Wan was startled. "Is it one of the Cangxuan Sect's Chosen? Chu Qing or Kong Sheng?"

Zuoqiu Qingyu raised her delicate, pale chin towards the valley entrance in the distance. "See him? His name is Zhou Yuan, and he's the chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect..."

Gong Wan's beautiful eyes gazed over and she saw the young figure hidden in the shadows. She immediately pouted and said somewhat disappointed, "He's nothing special. So weak... She's so outstanding, her taste can't be that bad, can it?"

Luoluo poked her small head out from behind Zuoqiu Qingyu and defended, "Zhou Yuan isn't weak at all!"

Gong Wan said lazily, "A chief disciple has no business in this kind of situation."

She waved her hand. "Forget it, no need to pay him any mind. If I get to know Yaoyao later, I have my ways to make him back off."

She chuckled charmingly, appearing extremely confident.

Zuoqiu Qingyu could only roll her eyes at this.

"It's about to start..."

A Chosen next to them spoke up in warning, and immediately all their eyes turned in that direction.

There, the almost solidified atmosphere, after persisting for over ten breaths, finally exploded with a bang. Streaks of light and shadow shot out, colliding in the high sky.

Instantly, violent Genesis Qi raged across the heavens and earth.

The Sacred Palace and Cangxuan Sect had finally begun their battle.
