Chapter 118: The Eighteenth Floor of Fengyuntai, White-Clothed Woman

  Swallow Clouds Gathering? A Generation of Proud Sons of Heaven?

  "Chu Long Huang exclaimed: 'A generation of proud heavens, the strongest among a generation, the only leading figure, like Chu Tian Ge and Chu Yan, even Shen Jun Xia and Luo Hong Chen are not worthy! This... this... Fengshen Jun has not yet had a showdown with me, how can he call himself a generation of proud heavens? How dare he? How is he worthy?!'"

  "Whether it fits or not, go find my elder brother to reason with him." The Marquis of Sealing Gods suddenly turned to face the crowd and said loudly:

  "My elder brother said, the matter of the Green Tomb relics has been settled. Whoever can condense five or more Blood Diamonds and is under the age of twenty-five should immediately head to the State of Yan to attend the Gathering of the Clouds of Yan! He will be there to welcome your arrival!"

  Swallow Clouds Gathering, Swallow Clouds Gathering!

  Chu Cheng took a deep breath of cold air.

  But unexpectedly, the God of Seal has already walked far ahead of his peers, completely disregarding the struggles of the young generation in Chu State, and instead, he is leading with a broad vision!

  Since he dares to claim that only those who have condensed five Blood Diamonds or more can attend the Yan Yun Conference, then without a doubt, he himself has already condensed five Blood Diamonds, and possibly even higher!

  It's even possible that he, who is only seventeen years old and of the same age as Chu Yan, has also surpassed seven Blood Diamonds to advance to the Seventh Treasure Realm, surpassing anyone else! And this, is the real reason why he is unwilling and unable to enter the Qingming Ruins!

  "Seal God Lord, Seal God Lord!"

  At this moment, everyone's mouth is murmuring this one name. He Ran has already determined that Feng Shen Jun is the leader of the younger generation. Chu Yan is not out, who can compete with him!

  However, in Chu Cheng's heart, apart from shock, there was also a hint of indescribable mockery.

  "Hmph, you're about the same age as Chu Yan, but five years ago, you hadn't even been born yet. I suppose you were afraid of Chu Yan and didn't dare to compete with him? So you hid for five years before daring to show your face? But that's all! Five years ago, you were far inferior to Chu Yan; five years later, you can be certain that you will become the leading figure, a legendary prodigy?"

  "Dugu Xian, Qi Xuanchen Yinghua, Fengyuan Xiānzǐ Huǒfēngyī, Shénjiàn Chǔ Yì... and me, Chǔchéng! Before you even have a chance to cross hands with us, you don't have the qualifications to call yourself a generation's proud son, ab-so-lute-ly not!"

  Due to Feng Shenhou's words, the originally high-spirited Chu Long Huang and others felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water. The momentum that had built up on the 14th floor suddenly dissipated, and their previous arrogance was gone.

  Of course, in the heart of Chu Long Huang, there was also some ridiculous pride, because at least for now, on this Wind Cloud Platform, he, Chu Long Huang, was still the strongest, and was the first strong person to ascend to the fourteenth floor!

  First!

  A faint pride once again appeared on Chu Long Huang's face.

  However, this pride did not last long.

  Suddenly, on that windy platform, high up in the air, a white cloud descended from the sky, and an extraordinary, pure, and unbelievable woman floated over.

  No one could see her appearance clearly, no one knew her age, and no one knew where she came from or when she appeared. But in everyone's heart, they immediately recognized that she was the purest woman in the world, without exception.

  If there really is an immortal in this world, then she would be the only one.

  Like white lotus flowers blooming, snowflakes fall down.

  The white-robed woman stepped on a white cloud and slowly descended, landing at the very top of the Wind Cloud Platform, above the eighteenth level.

  The spacious 18th floor, 17th floor, 16th floor, and 15th floor were all empty except for her.

  She glanced down, then seemed to look at nothing, slightly opening her lips, her voice clear and ethereal.

  "White clouds emerge from the moon, coming and going in the blue vastness. The blue vastness leaves its mark, I also want to enter."

  As soon as the words were spoken, the Qingming List, which was suspended in the Xuantian Temple, emitted a dazzling light. The row of unparalleled geniuses immediately moved down, and in their place appeared the four characters "Contemporary Genius". This row was empty, reserved for recording those under 25 years old who had condensed at least five Blood Diamonds.

  Immediately afterwards, the name of a contemporary celebrity was moved down, and in its place were the four characters "One Generation's Pride".

  At the top of this row, there is only one name that surpasses all of Chu State, unique and unmatched, with no one able to rival it.

  Clouds at dawn, moon.

  This name will resound throughout all of Chu State, and even the entire Qin Empire.

  How many Blood Diamonds had she refined? No one knew. But everyone knew that she possessed the power to rival nine Blood Diamonds, and she was already standing at the pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm, her strength unparalleled within it!

  On the tenth floor above, Chu Cheng stared blankly, muttering to himself:

  "This woman, I have seen her before, I have seen her, seen her..."

  Yes, this woman, he had seen her before. She was the one who had killed Red William with a single move outside Shanyin City back then and saved him.

  How did this woman end up here? Where is she from, and which family does she belong to? In the entire Chu state, when has there ever been a prominent family with the surname Yun? His mind recorded at least three thousand eight hundred families in the entire Chu state, but not one of them had the surname Yun!

  Chu Cheng's mind was a mess, with countless threads tangled together, and he didn't know where to start sorting them out.

  However, time did not allow him to sort it out either.

  The summit of the Tyrant King Peak, three loud clangs, this time's Young Heroes Conference, the final round is finally open!

  A majestic and awe-inspiring procession emerged slowly from the Pinnacle Palace, escorted by the elite royal guards of Chu State.

  This so-called number one army of Chu State, the Imperial Guard, didn't even reach the Five Elements Realm and didn't have the qualifications to participate in the selection. Although there were only a paltry 10,000 people, each and every one was an elite, ten joining hands could kill a Mountain Sea, a thousand joining hands could kill a Divine Spirit, and with all 10,000 joining hands, even if it was a Great Divine Spirit, they would have to avoid its edge.

  At this moment, the Imperial Guard mobilized a thousand people and formed this grand procession. The one leading the entire procession was the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, a powerful being at the peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Although he wasn't among the top ten strongest, it's said that his true strength was absolutely not inferior to theirs.

  A majestic sedan chair, carried by four powerful men from the Mountains and Seas Realm, with a middle-aged man sitting on it, his face solemn.

  Now the King of Chu is trapped in the Great Qin Empire, and externally claims that the King of Chu has closed the border. The second prince of the royal family, Chu Tianjun, temporarily takes over as the ruler of Chu State. This middle-aged man sitting on the sedan chair is none other than Prince Chu Tianjun, who is also the father of Chu Long Huang.

  There is no doubt that this time's Youth Hero Awards will be hosted by him.

  When Chu Tianjun appeared, the entire Fengyuntai immediately fell silent, showing due respect to the royal family of Chu State.

  This royal second prince, even if you don't count his identity, is also a strong person at the peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm, worthy of everyone's respect.

  The sedan chair stopped in mid-air, facing the Wind and Cloud Platform from afar. Chu Tian Jun looked at Yun Chun Yue on the top of the Wind and Cloud Platform, slightly furrowed his brow, seemingly feeling somewhat unexpected about Yun Chun Yue's appearance.

  However, he didn't say anything, but suddenly stood up, turned around, faced the peak of Mount Ba Wang, slowly bowed down and said with extreme respect:

  "Report to Elder Xuan: Will this session of the Young Heroes' Gathering be held as scheduled?"

  Although Chu Tianjun held a high position and great power, with an honorable status, when facing one of the Three Elders of the Heaven and Earth of Chu State, even the current King of Chu had to show respect, let alone him.

  And besides, the Young Heroes' Assembly is convened by the Mystic Heavens Monitor, so this matter must be reported to Elder Mystical before it can be convened.

  On the top of Ba Wang Peak, in the Xuan Tian Temple, Old Man Xuan sat cross-legged, with a 17 or 18 year old youth standing behind him, who was precisely Chu Yan.

  Upon hearing Chu Tianjun's question, Chu Yan smiled slightly and glanced at Xuan Lao. He knew that his master would not bother with such trivial matters, so he spoke up in a clear voice:

  "The Master's decree has been issued! The gathering of young heroes will begin immediately!"

  It wasn't Xuan Lao's voice, but a young one. Chu Tian Jun was slightly stunned, then immediately understood and his tone also became less extremely respectful, with a hint of relaxation:

  "However, Chu Yan Xian's nephew? This time on the Wind Cloud Platform, some changes have occurred. The Sealed God has already left Chu State and gone to Yan State to attend the Yan Yun Conference. A woman named 'Yun Chu Yue' has ascended to the 18th floor of the Wind Cloud Platform, I wonder if Master Xuan has any clear instructions regarding this?"

  In the Xuántiān Temple, Chǔ Yǎn looked at the Qingmíng List hanging in front of him, especially the name on top. A hint of confusion appeared between his eyebrows, as if he couldn't understand the origin of this woman either, and even more so, couldn't figure out her background.

  Unfortunately, Master Xuan had already gone to the Great Qin to investigate the matter of the King of Chu and couldn't spare any energy to observe the heavens and calculate fortunes, let alone investigate this woman's origins. However, even if Master Xuan were to wake up, it's unlikely that he would be able to investigate anything anyway?

  At this point, Chu Yan said lightly: "Due to fate and chance encounters, coming and going is at one's own will, no need to make sense of it. The young heroes' gathering, let's begin!"

  Chu Tian Jun's face immediately broke into a faint smile as he said in a loud voice, "Very well, I invite the various Masters of the Xuan Tian Sect to activate the Wind Cloud Platform and enter the Qing Ming! I invite the Royal Guest Officials of the Wang Clan to break through the 90,000 li of Qing Ming energy and clear the way for the Wind Cloud Platform! I invite the great abilities of each clan to be on high alert at all times, in order to prevent any small disturbances!"

  "Right!"

  In the Xuántiān Temple, Chu Yan's voice faintly came out:

  "Please welcome our honorable teachers!"

  One by one, figures flew out of the Xuantian Temple, a total of four people, two white-haired old men and two middle-aged men with expressionless faces.

  These four people are Chu Yan's Shu Shu, the four Xuan Tian Dashi of Xuan Tian Temple, and the existence of the Divine Realm.

  The four of them flew to the Wind Cloud Platform in all directions, and a large amount of spiritual energy was input into the Wind Cloud Platform. The huge Wind Cloud Platform immediately took off, breaking through the sky of ten thousand feet and entering the Qingming!

  On the top of Ba Wang Peak, inside the royal palace, four figures shot into the sky, following Feng Yun Tai together, and entered Qing Ming.

  Luo family, Feng family, Shen family, Huo family, on the top of four mountain peaks, each with a figure soaring into the sky, sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak, vast spiritual energy overflowing, sealing off the entire imperial city. Four divine consciousnesses split into thousands, sweeping across the entire imperial city, checking for any evil spirits causing trouble and disturbing the affairs of Qing Ming.

  The so-called Qingming Ruins are not on the ground, but are located nine million feet above the Ba Wang Peak, in the midst of a thick and heavy Qingming aura. Only at this time, every five years, when the Qingming seal is weakened once every five years, can one rely on the Wind Cloud Platform that has undergone special refinement to break through the thick Qingming aura and enter the Qingming Ruins.

  At this moment, Fengyuntai rushes into the clouds and enters the Qingming, the final of this year's Youth Hero Conference officially begins.

  Almost 30,000 people entered the Qingming Ruins, but it was unknown how many of them would still be alive three months later when they returned to Fengyuntai.

  Eagerly awaiting.
