Xiao Chen closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the Ninth Heaven Divine Lightning Tomb. After three days, he finally stabilized his cultivation at the initial level of the Earth Mirror.
It was unlikely for him to make a breakthrough in the near future, so Xiao Chen didn't waste any more time and chose to leave the Ninth Heaven Divine Lightning Tomb.
On the way there, the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds had told him that he could leave if he wanted to break through. After leaving the Godly Lightning Tomb, Xiao Chen went to the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds' residence. He wanted to thank him in person, but unfortunately, the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds wasn't there. Xiao Chen had no choice but to go back to the Celestial Sword Peak.
After returning to the Sky Sword Peak, Xiao Chen told Cang Xuan and Dao Master Danyun about his breakthrough to the Earth Clear Mirror realm. The two were naturally overjoyed. After chatting with them for a while, Xiao Chen returned to the Dustless Residence.
It had been almost a month since Xiao Chen returned to the Dustless Residence. At this moment, Qin Shuirou had also successfully broken through to the perfect Arcane Eon stage. Xiao Chen was naturally overjoyed that both of them had broken through at the same time. That night, he invited Qin Heng, Qi Yan, Mo Jie, and a few other friends to the Dustless Residence for a hearty drink.
At night, in the Wuchen Residence, everyone sat together and happily drank wine. Seeing that Xiao Chen had broken through to the initial level of the Earth Mirror, Mo Jie only felt envious and happy. There wasn't the slightest bit of jealousy.
He had been good friends with Xiao Chen since the East Sword Pavilion. Although Mo Jie's cultivation was only at the perfect Mysterious Yuan stage and the gap between him and Xiao Chen had completely widened, he knew that his talent couldn't be compared to Xiao Chen's. Mo Jie sincerely hoped that Xiao Chen could soar into the sky in the future.
They were all good friends who could talk about anything. They drank until late at night. Qin Heng and the others said their goodbyes and left one after another. Xiao Chen also fell asleep under the care of Qin Shuirou.
Less than three days after Xiao Chen successfully broke through to the Earth Mirror, the other Kings of Geniuses also successfully came out of seclusion. They had all reached the Earth Mirror.
The success of the Kings of Geniuses' breakthroughs naturally couldn't be hidden from the world. Moreover, after the Kings of Geniuses all broke through, Huangfu Ao from the Burning Sky Sect announced that he would hold an unprecedented Heavenly Geniuses Grand Banquet. All Heavenly Geniuses from the Continent could attend.
Of course, the main reason why Huangfu Ao was doing this was to gather all the top ten geniuses together for the first time.
Once the news of the Heavenly Geniuses Banquet, the Kings of Geniuses of the Central Divine Region.
On the second day after Huangfu Ao's announcement, the Burning Sky Sect made a move. First, they set the location of the gathering at the most famous Thousand Island Lake in the entire Heavenly Chen Continent.
The Thousand-island Lake, as the name suggested, was a lake with thousands of islands. The environment was beautiful and picturesque. It was a well-known brothel in the Tianchen Mainland. In the Thousand-island Lake, there was the most famous brothel in the Tianchen Mainland, the Hundred Immortals House.
It was rumored that the Hundred Immortals House had a hundred top beauties. Each of them was like a celestial maiden that had descended to the mortal world, causing people to be reluctant to part with them. There were also countless cultivators who traveled thousands of miles just to see the true appearances of these celestial maidens.
Don't think that the fairies of the Hundred Immortals House were ordinary prostitutes. It was said that they were proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Moreover, each of them had outstanding talent. Their cultivation wasn't any weaker than the disciples of the major forces. More importantly, these fairies were still virgins. Ever since they were born, they hadn't received a single guest.
Now that the Heavenly Geniuses Grand Banquet was set at the Thousand Island Lake, it was obvious that the Hundred Immortals House had agreed to it. Thinking of so many Heavenly Geniuses gathering at the Thousand Island Lake, everyone guessed that the fairies of the Hundred Immortals House would show up this time.
The combination of Heavenly Geniuses and beauties completely attracted everyone's attention. At the same time, Huangfu Ao also named the Heavenly Geniuses Grand Banquet as the Heavenly Geniuses Grand Banquet.
The meaning was obvious. Although it was a gathering of Heavenly Geniuses, the real protagonists were still the top ten Heavenly Geniuses. Therefore, it was named as the Heavenly Geniuses Grand Banquet.
The location was set at the Thousand Island Lake and the time was set to be one month later. At the same time, many disciples of the Burning Sky Sect were also rushing to various places with invitations. They personally delivered the invitations to the various Heavenly Geniuses. As one of the top ten Heavenly Geniuses, Xiao Chen's and the others' invitations were not only personally written by Huangfu Ao. More importantly, the people who delivered the invitations were all exceptional Heavenly Geniuses of the Burning Sky Sect.
Letting the Heavenly Geniuses deliver the invitations showed how high the status of the top ten Heavenly Geniuses were. This was probably done intentionally by Huangfu Ao to highlight the status of the top ten Heavenly Geniuses.
The outside world was in an uproar because of the Heavenly Geniuses Grand Banquet. As time passed, the disciples of the Burning Sky Sect also delivered the invitations to the various Heavenly Geniuses.
Take the Nine Firmaments Palace for example. All the Heavenly Geniuses, regardless of whether they were the top Heavenly Geniuses or exceptional Heavenly Geniuses, had already received the invitations. However, Xiao Chen was an exception. That was because Xiao Chen's invitation was different from that of ordinary Heavenly Geniuses.
On the eighth day after returning to the Dustless Residence, the exceptional Heavenly Genius from the Burning Sky Sect finally arrived. He went straight to the Heavenly Sword Peak. Inside the Dustless Residence, the exceptional Heavenly Genius from the Burning Sky Sect, Meng Liang, met the Heavenly Geniuses known as the Demon Sword, Xiao Chen.
Sitting in the courtyard with Qin Shuirou beside him, Meng Liang didn't know why, but when he saw Xiao Chen for the first time, as an exceptional Heavenly Genius, he felt a trace of nervousness in his heart.
He didn't dare to look closely at Qin Shuirou's appearance for fear of angering Xiao Chen. He slowly walked towards Xiao Chen and bowed respectfully. Then, he carefully took out the invitation from his storage ring and handed it over with a nervous expression.
"Senior Brother Xiao Chen, this is the invitation personally written by Senior Brother Huangfu Ao."
After knowing about the Heavenly Geniuses Grand Banquet, Xiao Chen smiled and took the invitation. "I will go. Junior Brother, you must be tired from the journey. Why don't you rest at the Heavenly Sword Peak for a few days? Let me do my part as a host."
With that, Xiao Chen called Qingluo over and asked her to call Mo Jie over.
Soon, Mo Jie hurried over to the Dustless Residence. Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "This is Junior Brother Meng Liang from the Burning Sky Sect. Mo Jie, bring Junior Brother Meng Liang around the Heavenly Sword Peak for the next few days and have some fun."
"Yes." Mo Jie nodded in response when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao Chen." Meng Liang also thanked him.
After letting Mo Jie entertain Meng Liang and the two of them left, Xiao Chen opened the invitation and casually glanced at it. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "This Huangfu Ao is really interesting."
"What's wrong?" Qin ShuiRou asked curiously when she saw Xiao Chen's smile and wondered what was written on the invitation.
"Take a look for yourself." Xiao Chen handed the invitation to Qin Shuirou and gestured for her to take a look.
