Chapter 3299: Chapter 3299: Gathering of Heroes!

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

The competition for the Immortal Vault List was finally about to begin.

Since this year’s competition covered the Nine Provinces Immortal Domain’s nine states, the entire domain was in an uproar.

The venue was one of the top forces in the Central Earth Immortal State, the Jiuxiao Immortal Palace.

Hence, during these three months, major forces and independent cultivators from the Nine Provinces Immortal Domain hurried to the Central Earth Immortal State to prepare for the tournament.

Of course, those truly participating in the competition were the Heavenly Pride of each major force and independent cultivators, while others came to observe the grand event.

Three days later, on a morning.

Central Earth Immortal State.

Western Region.

Jiuxiao Immortal Palace territory.

This place covered over ten thousand miles, with faint immortal energy and purple aura rising.

Thousand-zhang and ten-thousand-zhang Immortal Mountains stood between heaven and earth, with many more suspended in the air.

Rare flowers and exotic grasses flourished amidst the mountains, rivers flowed, silver waterfalls hung, and the beauty was unparalleled.

Numerous Immortal Palaces, halls, and pavilions were situated atop mountain peaks, surrounded by mist.

Various unusual immortal beasts, spirit beasts, and auspicious beasts soared in the sky and roamed the mountains and forests.

The mountains and rivers were picturesque, with magnificent weather; the entire Jiuxiao Immortal Palace was like a scroll, mysterious and grand.

It was now early morning.

Sunlight poured down, casting a faint golden glow over everything.

Behind the Jiuxiao Immortal Palace were nine ten-thousand zhang peaks, like nine heavenly pillars supporting heaven and earth, known as "Jiuxiao Peaks."

Among them, one was centrally positioned, named "Divine Firmament Peak."

It was surrounded by eight other peaks, namely Qingxiao Peak, Bixiao Peak, Danxiao Peak, Jing Xiao Peak, Yuxiao Peak, Zhenxiao Peak, Purple Cloud Peak, and Taixiao Peak.

Now, each of the nine mountain peaks had thick white jade platforms laid out, glowing faintly under the sunlight.

This year’s Immortal Vault List competition would be held at Jiuxiao Peaks.

At this moment.

Many forces and independent cultivators had arrived here.

All the mountain peaks were already packed with people, as were the ancient boats hovering in the sky.

The attendees alone exceeded three hundred thousand.

Moreover, people continued to arrive via ancient boats, riding mutated beasts, or driving Dharma artifacts.

It was truly a gathering of heroes, bustling with activity.

"After waiting for three years, the ninth Immortal Vault List competition is finally about to begin!"

"Fellow Daoists, who do you think will make it into the top ten this year, and who will claim first place on the Immortal Vault List?"

"I reckon the top ten of the Immortal Vault List won’t change much; it will still be the same eleven top-tier Heavenly Pride as last time! And the Golden Crow Crown Prince is likely to retain first place!"

"That’s not necessarily the case. It’s been three years since the last competition; new stars may rise to challenge the Immortal Vault List!"

At this moment, people were chatting, discussing this year’s competition for the Immortal Vault List.

"Have any of you heard of a kid named Yang Luo?"

Someone suddenly mentioned Yang Luo.

"Of course, over the past two years, young Yang Luo has been very active in the Nine Provinces Immortal Domain; you can hear his name in almost every state!"

"That’s right, it’s said that this kid has high talent, comprehension, and potential, with powerful strength!

This youth killed many strong figures from the Golden Crow Sacred Land, Gu Jinpeng Family, Great Amplification Sacred Land, and other forces, making people fear him!"

"Some say this kid is a rising star in the Nine Provinces Immortal Domain. If he joins the competition, he might make it into the top ten of the Immortal Vault List!"

"I hope this kid participates in the competition; it would be great to witness this rising Heavenly Pride firsthand!"

The discussions grew lively, with many expressing enthusiasm.

Even those unfamiliar with Yang Luo became interested upon hearing his feats.

At this moment.

On the high platform of Divine Firmament Peak.

The current Palace Master of Jiuxiao Immortal Palace, Xiao Tengyu, and several elders were welcoming arriving guests.

The number one Heavenly Pride of Jiuxiao Immortal Palace, "Jiuxiao Immortal Monarch" Xiao Yiming, was also following his father and elders to greet the arriving guests.

Xiao Tengyu, with hands behind his back, asked Xiao Yiming, "Yiming, now that you’ve reached Taiyi Xuanxian Early Stage, do you have the confidence to make it into the Immortal Vault List top ten again?"

Xiao Yiming clenched his fists and said, "Father, I don’t know if I can make it into the top ten again, but I will do my utmost, never disgracing our Jiuxiao Immortal Palace!"

"Good!"

Xiao Tengyu nodded and said, "Yiming, if you can make it into the top ten again, that would be excellent!

However, even if you don’t make it into the top ten, do not be discouraged!

Your life journey is long, and there’s no need to be overly concerned with temporary gains and losses!"

Xiao Yiming gazed at the distant sky and said, "I wonder if Brother Yang will join this competition.

If he participates, the Immortal Vault List top ten will surely have his place."

"Oh?"

Xiao Tengyu said with surprise, "Yiming, are you so certain that young Yang Luo can make it into the top ten of the Immortal Vault List?"

"Certainly!"

Xiao Yiming nodded and said, "You’ve never met Brother Yang, so you can’t comprehend his strength!

Back at Flying Immortal Peak, Brother Yang defeated Mu Yunshang and me in one move!

At that time, he was already in Taiyi Xuanxian!

With so much time passed since then, Brother Yang’s cultivation and strength have likely become even more formidable!"

Elder Xiao Xishan also said, "Tengyu, young Yang Luo is indeed strong!

The key is that not only is he powerful, but his skills in alchemy and artifact refining are Unparalleled in the World!"

Elder Xiao Shengxian also remarked, "To this day, the scene of him with one hand on alchemy and the other on refining artifacts, defeating Mu Yanchen and Mu Chenfeng, stands vivid in memory!

I’ve yet to see any young individual with such prowess in alchemy and artifact refining!"

Xiao Tengyu chuckled and said, "Elder Xishan, Elder Shengxian, hearing you speak of this kid makes me all the more intrigued by him!"

At this moment.

The crowd suddenly became bustling.

"The people from Yaochi Holy Land, Wandao Immortal Sect, Purple Mountain Divine Dynasty, and Futu Holy Hall are here!"

"Without a doubt, people from top forces indeed carry an extraordinary presence!"

All the attendees turned their heads to look.

They saw ancient boats, each thousands of meters long, flying in from four directions.

Flags embroidered with various totems stood erect on the ancient boats, fluttering in the wind.

People were standing all over the ancient boats.

Leading them were the leaders of the four top forces in the Central Earth Immortal State: "Yaochi Saint" Gu Qinglan, "Wandao Immortal Master" Guo Mengchuan, "Purple Mountain Divine Monarch" Mu Zelin, "Futu Saint Master" Luo Shenghui.

The top-tier Heavenly Pride from the previous competition, "Purple Mountain Divine Lady" Mu Yunshang, stood behind Mu Zelin.

"Wandao Immortal Monarch" Guo Xiaochen followed Guo Mengchuan.

Song Zhixin was following Gu Qinglan.

This time, she was representing Yaochi Holy Land in the competition.

Upon arrival, she looked around, searching for Yang Luo and Flame Emperor’s presence.

Since they last parted, she hasn’t seen Yang Luo and others for over half a year, and she deeply missed them.

Yet, she was puzzled not to see them.

Her brows furrowed slightly; could Little Luo and the others really not be participating in this competition?
