Imperial Mountain, Heavenly Talents Gather

Time passed...

Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, Imperial Mountain.

This place was located in the central region of the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, at the very heart of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

Rumor had it that in the boundless ages past, a Quasi-Emperor had once attained Dao and become Emperor here. Even after the long passage of time, imperial aura still surged through this land.

Liu Mingyue had chosen this very place for her battle against Ye Ming, her purpose being to draw cultivators from all directions to witness how this Forbidden Son of the Primordial Forbidden Zone would meet his despair at her hands.

At this moment, the area around Imperial Mountain was packed with dense crowds of cultivators, a clamor of voices filling the air with lively commotion. Many major powers had come.

They had all arrived to watch the battle between the Forbidden Son Ye Ming and the Saintess of the Flying Immortal Sacred Land. Some had come simply to catch a glimpse of the beauty's grace...

Liu Mingyue, even among the ranks of young prodigies, was no small name. Her appearance was stunning beyond compare, and coupled with her Cold Spirit Physique, she was the goddess in the hearts of countless geniuses. If one could cultivate alongside her, the thought was unimaginable...

At this moment, near an Immortal Mountain ten thousand zhang tall, cultivators filled both Heaven and Earth. In the distant sky, many Immortal Boats sailed through the air.

"Isn't that the Ten Directions Sacred Hall? Even they've come!"

Seeing a massive Immortal Boat floating in the void, many nearby cultivators revealed looks of surprise.

The Ten Directions Sacred Hall was the most powerful force in Central Province. Rumor had it that this generation had produced a Peerless Prodigy who had already defeated many strong opponents.

"I wonder if Long Hao, the Holy Son of the Ten Directions Sacred Hall, has come this time. Among Saintess Mingyue's many suitors, he's at the very top!"

"Heh, look, isn't that him now?"

"As expected of our Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain's famed Moon Goddess. Even the talent of her suitors alone is beyond what that Forbidden Son can compare to!"

Voices rang out as gazes turned toward the sky, where Long Hao, the Holy Son of the Ten Directions Sacred Hall, stood.

His golden hair fluttered in the wind, his posture upright, his bearing lofty. He stood upon the Immortal Boat, and rumor held that he possessed the Dragon God Physique among the three thousand constitutions—unmatched in power, born with the strength of Nine Dragons, a formidable prodigy.

It was said that at his birth, a vision of a true dragon wrestling in the sky had appeared, shaking Central Province. Young as he was, he had already defeated many elders of the older generation.

His arrival now was undoubtedly to lend support to the goddess he pursued, Liu Mingyu.

Boom!

Soon after, another prodigy arrived.

"That's Lin Jian, the Dao Son of the Azure Sky Dao Sect!"

Someone recognized the newcomer.

The Azure Sky Dao Sect was also a major power. In this generation, they had produced a Dao Son named Lin Jian, who was born with a Sword Body and possessed unparalleled talent in the way of the sword. It was said that at his birth, sword light had stretched across thirty thousand li.

He was a man of sharp, cutting presence, with a cold, stern face, clad in azure robes, his aura fierce and his gaze icy. As he approached, sword light flickered in his eyes. Like a solitary peak, he seemed ready to pierce the heavens. A sword hung on his back as he strode through the air, stirring up a commotion among the crowd.

He had another identity as well—he was Lin Tian's elder brother, and his talent was far beyond Lin Tian's.

Earlier, when the Liu Family was wiped out, Lin Tian had died in the massacre at the Primordial Forbidden Zone. Now, Lin Jian had come to avenge his younger brother.

Time passed, and one prodigy after another arrived. Even Ye Ming probably hadn't imagined that so many geniuses would want his life.

Aside from those who truly held a grudge against him, most had come simply to see the joke of this Forbidden Son.

The Primordial Forbidden Zone was too transcendent, and as its sole son, if he were to lose, he would become the laughingstock of the entire Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain.

One young prodigy after another appeared, each with no small reputation. Most stood on Liu Mingyue's side. As fellow geniuses of the age, they naturally held nothing but contempt for someone like Ye Ming, who relied on his background and status.

Boom!

In the distance, another Immortal Boat flew in. At its helm stood a woman.

Her eyes were like water, captivating and soul-stealing. Her lips were bright red, her features exquisitely perfect. Her slender willow waist could be encircled with one hand, and her fair, flawless legs were on full display.

Her appearance was alluring, her attire revealing, completely out of place among the surrounding righteous sect cultivators. She exuded a seductive, enchanting aura.

The moment she appeared, the righteous cultivators nearby immediately voiced their displeasure.

"It's the Demoness of the Joyous Union Sect!"

"My senior brother was once seduced by a disciple of the Joyous Union Sect and ended up drained into a dried corpse!"

"Hmph! This is the territory of righteous cultivators. Those of the demonic path should leave at once!"

From Heaven and Earth, voices of accusation rang out.

The Joyous Union Sect was composed entirely of women. Their arts of seduction had led countless young righteous prodigies astray into the demonic path, naturally drawing the ire of everyone present.

Especially the current Demoness, Yu Linglong. How many hopes of various sects had, because of her, betrayed their sects and fallen to ruin?

"Hehe, you righteous cultivators are truly hypocrites!"

A seductive voice rang out from the sky. Her curvaceous figure rose and fell enticingly, a red dress fluttering in the wind, breathtakingly beautiful. Her purple-gold eyes were hazy with mockery.

"I've come today to watch how your precious Saintess will be defeated!"

The Demoness Yu Linglong smiled sweetly, her peerless face carrying a hint of disdain.

"Hmph! That Forbidden Son still thinks he can defeat Saintess Mingyue?"

A mocking voice rang out. In the eyes of many, Ye Ming's defeat was only a matter of time.

"Is that so? Then let's wait and see!"

The Demoness spoke in a soft voice. As an affiliated force of the Primordial Forbidden Zone within the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, the Joyous Union Sect naturally knew some of the situation.

Previously, Yu Linglong had received word that this Imperial Son might be one of the most formidable prodigies of this era.

At first, Yu Linglong naturally did not believe it, but even with her status as the Joyous Union Sect's Saintess, she was not qualified to journey to the Primordial Forbidden Zone to pay respects to that Imperial Son. She had come now precisely to witness the true state of the Imperial Son in this life.

If it was truly as the received message claimed, then in this era, the Joyous Union Sect would continue to remain loyal to the Primordial Forbidden Zone.

Time passed.

Finally, in the distance, an Immortal Boat from the Flying Immortal Sacred Land flew over. The one at the lead was none other than Liu Mingyue. Her three thousand strands of black hair cascaded naturally, her features were clear and beautiful, and she had phoenix eyes.

Clad in a simple green dress, her figure was flawless, with undulating curves that were perfectly proportioned. Her skin was fair as snow, her bones ice and jade, her delicate body shimmering with a radiant luster that could reflect light. She stood like a green lotus in a pond, transcendent and aloof.

Behind her were a host of elders from the Flying Immortal Sacred Land, with immortal bearing and dignified countenances.

Near Imperial Mountain, a wave of clamor immediately arose.

"It's Saintess Mingyue!"
