The Assembly's Prelude

Nine Phoenix Realm, Nine-Phoenix Dynasty.

The Nine Phoenix Emperor sat regally on his throne, looking down at his ministers, and said majestically, "The Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm are holding the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly, and my Nine Phoenix Realm naturally cannot be absent."

"Crown Prince!"

"Your subject is here!"

"Has the selection of participants for the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly been finalized?"

"The list has been finalized, comprising a total of nine thousand two hundred Imperial Dynasty geniuses, all elites from various races and factions."

"Yes, this matter must be handled well. Let those two realms see the strength of my Nine Phoenix Realm, and try to undermine their will to resist and win over more supporters," the Nine Phoenix Emperor said majestically.

In Interface War, it's not necessarily about annihilating the other side. If most of the beings on the interface surrender, it can severely damage the world's will.

However, this is too difficult. Looking at the numerous Interface Wars that have occurred in the Three Realms, those who surrendered voluntarily were one in ten thousand.

They're all old foxes. Any high-ranking official in any organization, as long as they're thinking straight, wouldn't entrust their safety to the kindness of others.

Even if the other party makes the most solemn vow of Karma, it's impossible!

Unless the gap in strength between the two sides becomes so great that it cannot be bridged, a situation of universal surrender will not occur.

However, Interface War only occur within the same time and space dimension, thus preventing overwhelming strength.

When the two sides are evenly matched, the war is naturally extremely brutal.

The Lu Wu Realm, a Medium Realm Gate located on the eastern side of the Chaotic Sea, saw Escape Light flying out from Realm Gate.

Some were ethereal and otherworldly, some exuded Devil Qi, some were ferocious and terrifying, and some were bursting with Qi and Blood.

Human Race, Yaomo, Water Tribe... all sorts of beings stepped out of the Realm Gate; they all came from the Qiongqi Realm.

"Such rich Spiritual Qi! It's 20% stronger than in my Qiongqi Realm, and there's no Sha Qi here. It's truly a wonderful place for cultivating immortality." A young man dressed in white with a sword on his back said with a look of rapture, which resonated with many Human Race cultivators around him.

In the Qiongqi Realm, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi contains varying degrees of Sha Qi. To cultivate, one must first eliminate this Sha Qi, otherwise it is extremely easy to Qi Deviation.

Because of the pervasive Sha Qi energy, cultivators in the Qiongqi Realm are generally extreme and cruel, and even the Nine Great Immortal Sects are no exception.

Although these sects claim to be Immortal Sects, they are actually a mixed bag, with all sorts of cultivators.

There are far too many people who use the guise of cultivating immortality to secretly engage in demonic practices.

If judged by the standards of the Lu Wu Realm, only the Xuanxin Sect and the Tianwu Sect can truly be called Immortal Sects, and even the Tianwu Sect can only be considered half a sect.

Since the Five Great Lineage took control of the Tianwu Sect, this Martial Dao Sacred Land of the Qiongqi Realm has changed. It has gone from taking the protection of the Human Race as its mission to becoming selfish, greedy, and violent.

"Hmm, such a rich aura of living flesh and blood. There must be a lot of living beings here. If we could slaughter them all..." Some people had wicked thoughts. This was a Devil Cultivator who had once slaughtered tens of thousands of Mortals to refine the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner. He was eccentric and cruel.

Compared to the restraint of Human Race, Yaomo are much more direct.

Many geniuses from the Twenty-Four Demon Forbidden Lands, accustomed to running rampant in their own territories, would simply raise their claws to prey on the creatures of the sea below.

"Snort!!"

Just then, a cold snort rang out, carrying with it the supreme yang power, like the rising sun, sweeping across the boundless land, forcing the geniuses of the Demon Forbidden Grounds to their knees, unable to lift their heads.

Those among the Human Race who harbored evil intentions also knelt in the air, trembling with fear.

"This is my Lu Wu Realm, not your Qiongqi Realm. Keep your claws to yourself!" The speaker was a middle-aged man with a tall and slender build, yet extremely powerful, as if he could bear the weight of heaven and earth.

He was born with a large face and ears, a dignified appearance, and an imposing aura that was as powerful as the sun in the sky, making him exceptionally terrifying.

"Please forgive me, Divine Martial Prince. These brats are used to being unruly and can't be changed overnight. I apologize to you." An old man dressed in a blue Daoist robe with a topknot on his head said repeatedly.

As one of the people in charge of this trip, the old man naturally knew the identity of the person in front of him.

Zhu Hao, Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, the Divine Martial Prince.

A powerful figure in the Mid Sage Manifestation, possessing the supremely yang and Great Sun Law Power, he is one of the strongest members of the Sun and Moon Imperial Clan, a figure whose word is law.

Because of the barrier Realm Gate, the highest level of their cultivation was only at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation, so they dared not be presumptuous in front of this person.

Moreover, after the Qiongqi Realm, they will mostly have to rely on the Lu Wu Realm for rescue, hence the old man's humble attitude.

"Hmm, you're from the Xuanxin Sect, right?" Divine Martial Prince glanced at the old man.

"Indeed, Yan Wugou, an elder of the Xuanxin Sect," the old man replied respectfully.

"The Xuanxin Sect is not bad, but what kind of trash are the other sects? How dare they call themselves Immortal Sects?" The Divine Martial Prince said with disdain.

Yan Wugou, unsure whether this man was truly reckless or feigning it. Wasn't this putting the Xuanxin Sect in a very difficult position?

Judging from the eyes of the disciples of the eight Immortal Sects, they even harbored resentment towards the Xuanxin Sect.

"For your sake, I'll spare them. But let me make this clear: anyone who dares to kill a single life in my Lu Wu Realm will pay with their life!"

As soon as the last few words were uttered, a chilling wind swept through, and the people of the Qiongqi Realm shrank back, hurriedly replying, "We will obey the Divine Martial Prince!"

"Hmm, wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Everyone's happy, it'd save so much trouble!" The Divine Martial Prince walked ahead with his hands behind his back, as if taking a leisurely stroll, his voice ethereal, "Follow me!"
