Capturing a Divine Beast Mount; Prelude to the Prodigy Gathering

Roar!

With a roar.

All that could be seen was the cliff face.

The Profound Yellow Energy surrounded him, and auspicious clouds appeared beneath the four hooves of the Black Yellow Qilin. Golden lotuses sprang from the ground and flowers rained down from the sky around him, with various kinds of radiant light spreading, making it look indescribably auspicious and extraordinary.

It exuded a terrifying aura, the aura of High Antiquity divine beast.

Moreover, the extraordinary phenomena manifested by the Black Yellow Qilin perfectly accentuated Lu Changsheng's temperament.

The Qilin body was surrounded by the aura of the Great Dao, making Lu Changsheng appear like Fallen Immortal, exuding an indescribable charm.

Especially now, riding a Qilin, he truly looks like a real immortal.

Countless women in the Exquisite Holy Land turned their gazes to Lu Changsheng, completely captivated and mesmerized.

Even Qian Yunrou couldn't help but feel a strange emotion when she saw Lu Changsheng at this moment.

"Big brother, should we go and capture that mount now?"

Gu Aotian asked.

"Okay, there are still a few days left anyway."

Lu Changsheng nodded. He was very curious about what kind of divine beast that mount was, that it could make Qilin care so much.

"Okay, big brother, sit tight."

Gu Aotian spoke, and then with a slight movement, he instantly vanished from the Exquisite Holy Land at lightning speed.

And so, Lu Changsheng embarked on his journey to find a divine beast mount.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days later.

Bright Moon Ancient City.

With this war of words, the Heavenly Pride Gathering is many times more exciting than in previous years.

Countless young powerhouses made their appearance; geniuses from various great regions all gathered in Bright Moon Ancient City.

On this day, as a jade carriage appeared, the Shu Gate Holy Son and the Purple Azure Holy Son arrived at the Bright Moon Ancient City. However, the two did not make any promises; it was simply a coincidence.

As the two were the Holy Son of Central Province, their appearance was naturally extraordinary. They sat on a jade carriage, pulled by an extremely rare Demon Beast. The carriage pulled by the Shu Gate Holy Son was pulled by the Heavenly Luan Bird, an auspicious beast whose wingspan could cover nine hundred miles.

The carriage pulled by the Purple Azure Holy Son was made of Amethyst Ancient Beast, their bodies as hard as purple crystal. Each of these ancient beasts was priceless, and there were five of them pulling his carriage.

The arrival of the Holy Son is natural and extraordinary.

The Bright Moon Ancient City is even more beautiful now.

However, because of the sacred place, the two Holy Son did not say anything when they met. They just looked at each other and nodded to each other, which was considered as if they had met.

The Shu Gate Holy Land and the Purple Azure Holy Land have always been at odds, a fact known to everyone in the world. Fortunately, after ten thousand years, although there is still discord, it is not like before, and they still show each other respect on the surface.

"Holy Son, due to the large number of cultivators attending this Heavenly Pride Gathering, the City Lord has ordered that everyone, regardless of who they are, must dismount and walk. We hope Holy Son will understand."

At this moment, the Guard Commander of Bright Moon Ancient City appeared. He spoke loudly, explaining the reason and hoping that the Holy Son would dismount from his mount.

"Okay!"

"Since it is what the city lord said, then it doesn't matter."

The two stepped down from the jade carriage. The city lord of Bright Moon Ancient City was a very important figure. In addition, this Heavenly Pride Gathering geniuses had indeed gathered many powerful figures, not only the younger generation but also many older generation experts.

It's all because of the Celestial Origin Holy Ground.

If everyone brings their own mounts in, will there be any room left in Bright Moon Ancient City?

Although they were both Holy Son of Central Province, they were reasonable and not the kind of spoiled brats.

Just then, a group of people slowly appeared.

The group of people were also riding some strange beasts, which looked quite extraordinary; there were three men and two women.

"Fellow Eastern Land, the city lord has ordered that you are not allowed to enter on horseback. Please dismount and enter on foot."

The Guard Commander spoke again, and he could tell at a glance that the other party was from the Eastern Land.

"My elder brother is Li Rulong. It's not a big deal for him to bring a few mounts inside, is it?"

The leading man looked very young, around sixteen years old, riding a purple spirit beast surrounded by spiritual light, which made him look extraordinary.

He spoke directly, invoking his elder brother's name, hoping the other party would let him pass.

"Fellow Daoists, we are only acting under orders. We hope you will not make things difficult for us. These two are the Holy Son of Central Province. They have also dismounted. Please forgive us."

The Guard Commander spoke, his temper was quite good, his attitude was gentle, and he also mentioned the names of the Purple Azure Holy Son and the Shu Gate Holy Son.

"The Holy Son of Central Province?" The cultivator who claimed to be Li Rulong's younger brother glanced at the Purple Azure Holy Son and the Shu Gate Holy Son, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Yes, these two are the Shu Gate Holy Son and the Purple Azure Holy Son."

The commander began to explain.

"Oh? The Purple Azure Holy Son? The Shu Gate Holy Son?" The latter was somewhat surprised, then looked at the two of them, and said with a slightly cold expression, "It was you two who spoke such arrogant words, saying that all the cultivators of the Eastern Land are a bunch of trash?"

His expression turned cold as he stared at the two Holy Son, who, despite their young age, gave off an extremely irritating aura.

"Ha, isn't that so?"

The Purple Azure Holy Son was no pushover either. Sensing the other party's hostility, he immediately spoke up and retorted.

"A bunch of guys who only know how to talk."

The Shu Gate Holy Son was also very direct, making a sarcastic remark with extreme contempt, which instantly changed the expressions of the five people.

"You call yourselves Holy Son? As expected, the cultivators of Central Province are all narrow-minded and ignorant."

Of the five, the woman in blue spoke first, and she was quick-witted and sharp-tongued.

"I have always heard my brother say that none of the current generation of Central Province Holy Son are any good. They only reminisce about the past and never make any progress."

Li Rulong's younger brother also stepped up and directly humiliated him.

"A bunch of brats, calling me 'my brother' all the time. I can tell you're the kind of person who does all sorts of nonsense all day long. You're just using your brother's name to put on airs. It's utterly ridiculous. Give me back 'my brother'. You want the whole world to know that your brother is Li Rulong?"

The Purple Azure Holy Son directly mocked, his eyes filled with contempt.

"Your elder brother Li Rulong, and my elder brother is Lu Changsheng. Your elder brother is not even qualified to carry his shoes. Brother Li, let's not bother with such a child. It would be beneath our dignity."

It was rare for the Shu Gate Holy Son to speak, and even to address Li Ran as Brother Li, given the past grievances between the two holy lands.

"Alright, Xu Xiong, it's been a while. Let me treat you to a drink."

The Purple Azure Holy Son nodded.

Indeed, it's beneath my dignity to yell at a few kids here.

"You are utterly outrageous!"

Li Rulong's younger brother clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger, but to be honest, he was indeed inferior to the Holy Son. If it weren't for his brother's help, he would have been quite ordinary.

But it was precisely because of his brother that he developed this arrogant attitude.

Rather than saying he's morally corrupt, it's more accurate to say he's a true hothouse flower, a standard brainless villain. However, considering his age, it's somewhat believable.

"How dare you!"

The Purple Azure Holy Son looked directly at him, his eyes gleaming with divine light as he stared at the other person with an extremely cold expression.

"This is Central Province. I am the Purple Azure Holy Son. You come from the Eastern Land. Even if you are a dragon, you must coil up before me. Even if you are a tiger, you must lie down before me. If your elder brother were here, he could say a few words to us. But you? You dare to speak so presumptuously to me?"

"You! Are you looking for death?"

The Purple Azure Holy Son was extremely cold, and countless Sword-Ray gathered around him, creating a terrifying aura.

He is the Holy Son!

Although he is not among the top ten geniuses in the world, his status speaks for itself.

This is the Central Province, not the Eastern Land.

Even if Li Rulong came, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, would he?

In an instant, terrifying Sword Qi spread. Li Rulong's younger brother felt a stinging pain all over his body. He dared not look directly at his opponent, as this was a suppression in terms of realm and strength.

However, at this very moment...

A cold, indifferent voice slowly rang out.

"The Holy Son of Central Province, what great holy power you possess!"

Upon hearing the voice, both the Purple Azure Holy Son and the Shu Gate Holy Son frowned slightly.

Soon, a figure slowly appeared. The person was dressed in a white robe and looked very young. He held a Daoist book in his hand and looked at the Purple Azure Holy Son and the Shu Gate Holy Son with utmost calmness.

"Zhang Yuanru?"

The Shu Gate Holy Son and the Purple Azure Holy Son knew who the other was in an instant.

One of the three Supreme Paragon of the Eastern Land.

Zhang Yuanru.

The Daoist Dao Child of the Limitless Dao Sect.

Its power is terrifying.

Ranked among the top three in the Eastern Land, it is said that he has cultivated the Limitless Dao Method to the eighty-first level, and his attacks are imbued with Dao essence, making him extremely terrifying.

In an instant, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
