This had nothing to do with anything else. It was mainly because the other person's presence was simply too powerful!
The Holy Son of Taixu, Ji Yifan, listened to the disciples' chatter and took a deep breath.
"Su Changqing..."
He murmured to himself, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes.
This was what a true top-tier prodigy looked like!
Even representing Taixu Sacred Land, he couldn't compare with Su Changqing at all.
Shaking his head,
Ji Yifan withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "With Su Changqing, Dao Yi Sacred Sect has gained another ten thousand years of good fortune!"
"His achievements will certainly be extraordinary. Even reaching Supreme or perhaps Quasi-Emperor might only be a matter of time for him..."
He sighed, unable to help feeling that the gap between people really was enormous.
The disciples of Taixu Sacred Land all nodded in agreement.
Half an hour later,
nearly all the sacred lands had arrived.
Some had already begun examining the cultivators who had come to attend the ceremony and putting them through their trials.
The selection for Dao Yi Sacred Sect, where Su Changqing was, had also begun.
"I wonder if anyone worth investing in will show up?"
He wasn't particularly concerned with what was happening on the field, nor did he pay much attention to the other sacred lands. He simply wondered to himself.
If he could invest in someone, it would naturally be a good thing for him in the future.
After all, he could never have too many subordinates.
However, just then...
"Rumble!!!"
A tremendous roar came from the sky above the divine palace!
In an instant,
everyone looked up!
They saw...
A colossal warship, nearly obscuring the sky, its entire body pitch-black and radiating a terrifying aura of bloodlust, slowly coming to a halt overhead!
At the sight of the warship, covered in patterns and blackened by blood,
the eyes of the sacred lands narrowed.
"The Youhai Demonic Sect is here!"
"What a grand entrance. The Demonic Sect's temperament is still the same, it seems. But... hadn't they stopped attending the ceremony five hundred years ago? Why have they come now!?"
"I heard the Demonic Sect has a new Demoness. Could she be representing them at the ceremony this time?"
"Perhaps the Demon Lord wants us to see the peerless talent they've produced this time, someone far beyond every Demoness before her?"
Everyone present couldn't help discussing it, staring intently at the astonishing warship in the sky.
Beneath the watchful eyes of the crowd,
figure after figure stepped into the air from the warship and slowly descended!
Demonic Qi filled every one of them!
Especially the cold and beautiful young woman at the head of the group, dressed in a red gown with violet eyes. Her body radiated overwhelming Demonic Qi!
She was none other than Murong Dieyi!
Her astonishing aura made many people look fearful, sending chills down their spines!
Quite a few people trembled uncontrollably when they saw Murong Dieyi leading the Demonic Sect's disciples here.
"The Demonic Sect! The Demonic Sect is here!!"
"So that's the Demonic Sect's new Demoness? Her Demonic Qi is terrifying..."
"The Demonic Sect is a sect steeped in slaughter, one that follows the law of the jungle. I wouldn't join them even if you paid me..."
"Heh, that's what a weakling without the heart of a strong person would say. I'm different. I originally wanted to join another sacred land, but now that the Demonic Sect is taking part, I want to try my luck and get in!"
"..."
Amid the waves of exclamations and discussion,
Murong Dieyi slowly landed and reined in her Demonic Qi. She paid no attention to anyone else, instead fixing her gaze squarely on Dao Yi Sacred Sect's position!
"That... is Su Changqing!?"
Her eyes immediately locked onto the man in a white robe, who was also looking at her.
He looked so perfect!
The reason the Demonic Sect had come was that she had personally asked the Demon Lord to bring them.
She had come here for one reason alone: Su Changqing!
Looking at the person she had longed to see standing across from her...
Murong Dieyi's heart began to race, and she grew even more nervous. A fleeting hint of shyness crossed her face.
"Phew..."
She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and walked toward him.
Seeing this,
"This..."
Everyone present was bewildered. What did the Demoness mean by this?
But,
when Su Changqing saw Murong Dieyi approaching, he blinked.
"Why has the Demoness come?"
He was surprised, because in the original story, the Demonic Sect hadn't attended this ceremony.
But now...
When he saw Murong Dieyi walking toward him,
Su Changqing knew she was one of the diary holders. His eyes immediately grew deep, his expression revealing the weariness of a bygone age, as he began to fabricate his third diary!
[The Demoness? Why is she here!?] [In my previous life... the Demonic Sect didn't attend this ceremony. Why is it different from my previous life?] [Could it be the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?] [But...] [This is wonderful, too. The person I most wanted to see, the one I missed the most, Dieyi, is right here before me!] [Dieyi, it's been so long...] [But how should I face her? Like Junior Sister, the Dieyi of this era isn't the Dieyi of the future, and she doesn't know what will happen between us.] [Forget it. Just seeing Dieyi again is enough for me!] [She's still the Demoness in everyone's eyes, still just as proud as ever. She's exactly as I remember her. How wonderful.] [Dieyi, in this lifetime, I won't let anything else come between us again...]
Dao Yi Sacred Sect,
Saintess Peak.
After Su Changqing left,
Ling Qianxue felt unsettled and had no interest in cultivating.
