Great Qian Domain, Taiqian Sacred Mountain.
This mountain soars into the clouds, disappearing into the sea of clouds halfway up. The mountain is entirely dark blue, with golden divine patterns faintly visible on its surface, like dragons and snakes coiling around it.
At the foot of the sacred mountain, there is a huge city built against the mountain. The city has no walls, but instead, there are concentric white jade platforms that surround the mountain, layer upon layer, like lotus petals blooming.
Each platform is equipped with palaces and pavilions, their upturned eaves appearing and disappearing amidst the sea of clouds.
At the very top of the city, above the sea of clouds, lies the enormous Daoist temple, the place where the Saint Emperor Taiqian attained Saint King.
Normally, the Supreme Qian Dao Arena does not have contact with the outside world, but this time it was one of the few times that outside cultivators were allowed to enter.
Nine rivers of Principle descended from the void around the dojo, cascading down like waterfalls and falling into the sea of clouds surrounding the dojo, stirring up a sky full of spiritual light.
Those spiritual lights did not dissipate, but transformed into a fine rain of Principle, nourishing the entire sacred mountain.
Mo Chenxiao led Han Xuanji and Leng Qianshuang to land on the white jade platform outside the Supreme Qian Dao Arena, where a large number of people had already gathered.
People from other factions have arrived one after another.
Han Xuanji looked around and saw that the cultivators from all sides all possessed extraordinary auras. The weakest among them was Eternal True God, and there were also many powerful figures at the Sage and Holy Lord levels.
Compared to the scene I saw in the Ten Directions Immortal Hall illusion, it seems a bit inferior, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. When the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet truly begins, it shouldn't be any less impressive than it was back then.
At this moment, Little White, who was standing at Han Xuanji's feet, was trembling a little. Han Xuanji hadn't wanted to bring it along, but it had begged and pleaded for a long time before coming. Now that they were actually here, it was still a little reserved.
Although I had experience participating in previous selection trials, the scale of those trials was still smaller than this one.
However, seeing Han Xuanji's composure, it unconsciously relaxed as well.
As the main base of the Sacred Court, the Supreme Qian Dao Arena has gathered cultivators from top forces from all sides for this Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet.
The people around him were either of extremely high birth or possessed extraordinary talent and strength. They were all arrogant and haughty, and ordinary cultivators wouldn't even give them a second glance.
However, the moment Han Xuanji and his group stepped out of the white jade platform, almost everyone's eyes turned to them.
"Look, that's Young Venerable Han!"
Which Young Venerable Han?
"Who else could it be but the disciple of the Nine Mysteries Holy Lord, the number one prodigy of the Sacred Court!"
"Is that him? He doesn't seem that impressive."
"What do you know? The greatest truths are the simplest. Others are merely concealing their aura. Even the Young Emperor of the Ying Household was defeated by him!"
" The Young Emperor Ying Household? My God..."
The murmurs rose like a tide, and the crowd grew larger and larger without anyone noticing.
Han Xuanji walked behind Mo Chenxiao, her expression calm and her eyes fixed straight ahead.
He was already used to that kind of gaze.
In fact, similar disturbances frequently occur between Thousand Souls City and Nine Mysteries City, and between Nine Mysteries City and Galaxy Mountain.
This time, however, the scale is larger than any before.
After all, not just anyone can bear the title of " the Sacred Court's Number One Prodigy".
Previously, this title was held by Ying Yuan, and no one thought anything of it. The Ying Household from the first Saint Emperor and had a profound foundation. It would not be surprising if they cultivated an unparalleled genius at any time.
Han Xuanji's rise to power was truly astonishing.
In just a thousand years, from winning the Thousand Souls City Principle Conference to clearing the Ten Directions Sacred Domain, and then defeating Ying Yuan at Galaxy Mountain, such an experience is something that has never been seen with one's own eyes, let alone heard of.
Li Linglong of the Hongmeng Dao Palace may seem to have risen to prominence suddenly, but in reality, she was a prodigy deliberately hidden by the Saint King Xiaoyao, and was considered a trump card for the Hongmeng Dao Palace.
It's unheard of for someone like Han Xuanji to rise from humble beginnings, stepping over everyone's noses at every turn, so his appearance is hard to ignore.
Little White was also a little confused, wondering why Han Xuanji was so popular.
Han Xuanji, however, remained calm. The concentration of Spiritual Qi here was several times higher than that of the Nine Mysteries Palace, so he hardly needed to circulate his Cultivation Method as the Spiritual Qi flowed into his body on its own.
Just as he was about to take a closer look at his surroundings, a long-lost notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[The eleven-star sign-in location " Supreme Qian Dao Arena " has been detected. Sign in now? (Each sign-in costs 2,000 Eternal Point Count, up to 100 sign-ins)]
The eleven-star check-in area allows for one hundred check-ins.
This means he needs 200,000 Eternal Point Count to sign in all of them.
"That's not right."
Han Xuanji's heart skipped a beat. This was the Sacred Court's main camp, and it was only a place for signing in at the eleventh star level?
That's not very reasonable.
On second thought, he went in. This place was at most an outer area, allowing outsiders to move around freely, so naturally it didn't have much profound Daoist significance.
The true core area should be some special places within the dojo.
Even his master Nine Mysteries Holy Lord, was not authorized to freely enter or leave these places.
"Given my current status, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Han Xuanji pondered silently:
"But if I win first place at the Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet, the Sacred Court's evaluation of me will likely be much higher, and I should be qualified to cultivate here for a long time."
"Once I reach the Eternal Sage Realm, I can go to the Twelve Star Lands to sign in, and the rewards I receive will far exceed my expectations."
He calmly suppressed the message, intending to sign in again when he found a suitable opportunity.
For now, let's follow Master into the venue and settle in first.
The area of this place of Dao essence is quite large, and there's still time for him to sign in. It might even help him improve his strength before it starts.
Mo Chenxiao then led him and Leng Qianshuang through the crowd and headed deeper into the dojo.
As they passed by, the crowd automatically parted to both sides. Some nodded in greeting, some looked on with envy, and others had a hint of scrutiny and fighting spirit in their eyes.
Han Xuanji took all of this in stride, showing no outward expression, but secretly making a plan in his heart.
The Dragon Terrace Sacred Banquet truly is a gathering place for heroes from all over the world.
These prodigies from various forces, including the Eternal Sword Pavilion, the Eternal Divine Hall, the Hongmeng Dao Palace, and the Myriad Ages Divine Palace, are all formidable opponents.
As the Sacred Court's number one prodigy, he became the target of everyone's criticism from the moment he stepped into this training ground.
After passing through several palaces, we arrived at a huge square.
Mo Chenxiao said, " Xuanji, the Saint Emperor has summoned you. We will wait for you here. Just walk straight ahead."
"Good."
Han Xuanji responded, showing no sign of fear.
He has discovered that the system is actually completely invisible to others, not even Saint King level experts.
It's just that the system's concealment function couldn't hide his level of skill.
But in reality, there was no need for him to hide his cultivation level, and as for his talent, there was nothing left to hide after he defeated Ying Yuan.
However, Han Xuanji didn't know much about the current Saint Emperor. He only knew that the Holy Saint Emperor's strength was in no way inferior to the previous generations, and that the Sacred Court was showing signs of a revival.
Without saying much, Han Xuanji took a deep breath and walked towards the main hall in the center.
