Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 608: Gathering of Geniuses
"Hahaha, Spirit Dragon Holy Land, Mount Sumeru, this young master has arrived."
The man's voice preceded him, a chilling laugh echoing from afar, harrowing and piercing, causing great discomfort.
As his voice faded, a beast bone large scissors clad in dazzling gold flew from the distance. It was a half-step Supreme Dao Artifact, completely golden-yellow with an profound aura.
Standing on the beast bone scissors were five individuals, with a fair-skinned, high-spirited young man in a yellow robe at the forefront, clearly from the Xuanhuang Sect.
Behind the young man were four Protectors, two at the Great Saint Intermediate Stage and two at the Saint Late Stage, evidently important figures within the Xuanhuang Sect.
The young man surveyed the Spirit Dragon Holy Land's gate with a lofty and superior air.
But his composure lasted only briefly.
The next moment, the auras of two guarding cultivators at the Great Saint Realm from Spirit Dragon Holy Land surged, and a wave-like oppressive force descended upon the five people's heads.
"Snap!"
This place was already the entry to the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, and both guardians were at the Great Saint Late Stage. The five individuals from Xuanhuang Sect had no time to react and were sent tumbling down from the void, landing face-first in the dirt.
"Since you've come to the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, it's best you behave yourself," stated one of the defending Great Saints of Spirit Dragon Holy Land coldly.
"You..."
A glint of frost flashed in the eyes of the leading yellow-robed youth, but he was held back by the two Great Saint Intermediate Stage cultivators behind him, who bowed to the two guards, "Fellow Daoists, our conduct was improper."
Ji Huo'er couldn't help but giggle at this moment, "A few unlucky fools!"

She had merely asked an extra question earlier and was scolded by these two, so seeing these five people humiliated balance her mood significantly.
Ji Huo'er spoke softly, but in a place where everyone was a cultivator, her words attracted the attention of the five.
"What a brat, you dare to insult this young master?"
The yellow-robed young man's gaze turned cold, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes.
By this time, the two Great Saints from Spirit Dragon Holy Land had already ascertained the identity of the yellow-robed youth.
This leading young man was named Liu Yuan, the young son of the Qian Gate Master of the Xuanhuang Sect, his cultivation having reached the early stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
After confirming their identity, Liu Yuan and his group also had to wait on one side for the sunset, standing opposite Qinchuan with a sullen expression, his face almost freezing over.
The Heavenly Mountain Domain sprawled boundlessly, a single domain comparable to the entire Dongju Continent.
The domains were vast, tightly controlled by three major sects. If each of the three sects only had one gate, it would indeed be difficult to maintain control.
Therefore,
each of the three major sects in the Heavenly Mountain Domain had their branch forces. Besides the main sect, the Xuanhuang Sect was divided into Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui - eight branches; apart from its main gate, the Heavenly Sword Gate also had Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth - five major branches.
The branches of Spirit Dragon Holy Land were the fewest, but they also had the Sun and Moon - two great Holy Sects.
The participants in the Mount Sumeru Convention this time naturally also included various branches.
The Liu Yuan from before was part of the Xuanhuang Sect's Qian Gate, while Qinchuan and the others, pretending to be the Thirteenth Prince, were indeed from the main gate of Heavenly Sword Gate.
Even though Liu Yuan and his group were looking on fiercely, this place was Spirit Dragon Holy Land, and even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare cause trouble again.
Qinchuan and the others quietly waited on the side for the sunset.
As time passed, more and more cultivators arrived.
Zhang Daoxu, the son of the Dui Gate Master of the Xuanhuang Sect, a straightforward and portly man, took the initiative to approach Qinchuan and others to make conversation, in an attempt to curry favor.
But Qinchuan sent him away after a few words.
Next, a child of about ten years old came from the Gold Branch of the Heavenly Sword Gate.
This young boy had a deep and focused gaze as he too approached Qinchuan and his companions.
"Brother Dao, may I ask from which branch of the Heavenly Sword Gate you hail?"
The youth from the Gold Branch had a Great Saint Realm Early Stage cultivator as his protector, who recognized Ye Xuanji's Spirit Sword on his back and identified that he was from the Heavenly Sword Gate.
Ye Xuanji, afraid of giving the wrong answer or being recognized, simply closed his eyes slightly and did not bother with the other party.
"Hmph, such arrogance. Looks like you're from the main gate," the child from the Gold Branch said, glancing at Ye Shiyi with a curl of his lips.
"About the same age as me, yet only at the First Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, truly a disgrace to the main gate."
Saying this, he released his faint qi in front of Ye Shiyi, which had already reached the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.
Afterward, the youth didn't sit down next to Qinchuan and the others but instead walked over to Liu Yuan and the rest.
Qinchuan was solemn, noting that the relationship between the main gate and the various branches of the Heavenly Sword Gate didn't seem to be very good.
Not long after these two arrived, two more people from the Heavenly Sword Gate came, one of whom was a young girl in the Immortal Platform Realm.
Enveloped in a brilliant light with Spiritual Energy mist around her like a forest sprite, the girl carried a lush green longsword on her back, adding to her charm.
Her name was Zhou Zi, a genius from the Wood Branch of the Heavenly Sword Gate.
"Senior Sister, over here!"
The child from the Gold Branch obviously knew Zhou Zi and called out to her from a distance.
Upon seeing him, Zhou Zi smiled and walked over with a light step, chuckling, "With so many disciples from each branch, who would have thought that I'd encounter Junior Brother Zhou Duo here?"
"Senior Sister, those guys are from the main gate, stay away from them," Zhou Duo looked at Qinchuan and the others with disdain as he spoke.
"What about the main gate?" Zhou Zi smiled, "It seems that Junior Brother has quite a grievance against the main gate."
"Hmph, every time we meet, those guys from the main gate act as if their tails are up in the sky. What good impression could I possibly have?"
Zhou Duo said with a twisted mouth.
Qinchuan didn't expect that because Ye Xuanji was afraid to speak and gave no response, it would inadvertently have the effect of making the others believe they were from the main sect.
When the sun still had a single ray left, by that time, the front of the mountain gate was already gathered with many talented individuals and warriors of the Saint Realm.
Qinchuan estimated roughly that among them, just the Gold, Wood, and Earth Branches of the Heavenly Sword Gate had six groups, and the various branches of the Upper Xuanhuang Sect had five groups; on the other hand, the two main branches of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land hadn't had any teams arrive yet.
At this time, as dusk began casting its shadows.
Just when the Great Saint guard was about to announce the start of the Blood Stone inspection,
suddenly, a series of flowing lights twinkled in the distance.
Someone was maneuvering a Magic Artifact; not too fast, nor too slow, they soon arrived at the front of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land gate.
"Junior Jiang Youwei of the Xuanhuang Sect pays respects to the two seniors," the newcomer, Jiang Youwei, greeted.
Unlike the others, Jiang Youwei was humble and polite; upon seeing the two Great Saint guards of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, he actively took the initiative to greet them.
The Great Saint who had been ready to send Jiang Youwei and the others down the mountain for the next day's event swallowed back his prepared words.
The Spirit Dragon Holy Land's Great Saint nodded, "Since you've come, please produce your invitation."
After checking the jade token, Jiang Youwei, with a smiling expression, walked towards Qinchuan and the others, bowing to Ye Shiyi, "Thirteenth Young Master, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
It seemed that this fellow was set on making acquaintances with this "Thirteenth Young Master."
