Before long, a dense crowd of cultivators gathered around the Myriad Phenomenon Peak!
At a single glance, there were at least a hundred thousand people in the black mass!
Among the many cultivators, Su Zimo caught sight of a few familiar faces.
The first to notice him was Chaos Essence Sect's Di Yin!
No matter where this person went, he shone brightly.
Their gazes collided in midair, and sparks flew in all directions!
Di Yin sneered and turned around.
Apart from Di Yin, Xu Cheng of Zephyr Thunder Palace was among them as well.
Xu Cheng's expression was dark as he glared coldly at Su Zimo and harrumphed.
Wu Feng of Purple Firmament Sect and Duan Qingping of Clear Wind Temple were among them.
After 20 years, Sword Sect's Hang Qiuyu's aura had turned sharper and sharper than before. Even his eyes shone with a blinding sword beam!
Hang Qiuyu was extremely hostile towards Su Zimo as well!
"Eh?"
Sensing something, Su Zimo shifted his gaze and caught sight of another person.
That person was dressed in black and had black hair. His expression was blank, expressionless and pale. Wielding a sheathed sword, he advanced silently through the crowd.
He was not fast.
It was more like he was pacing, step by step.
That person did not have any followers or fellow sect mates – he merely had a sword in his hand and advanced alone.
The reason why he could sense this person's presence in the vast crowd was because he was the only one whose sharpness could match Hang Qiuyu!
If Hang Qiuyu's sharpness was exposed, this person's sharpness was reserved!
Dugu Jian!
He was a member of the Dugu Clan, one of the four gentry clans of the North Region.
Back when they were fighting for the Vermilion Fruit in the Great Qian Ruins, the two of them did not know each other. However, this person had once helped Su Zimo cripple the successor of Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect.
As though he sensed Su Zimo's gaze, Dugu Jian paused in his tracks and looked over.
Su Zimo smiled gently and nodded in acknowledgment.
Dugu Jian was expressionless and his eyes seemed to ripple for a moment before disappearing. He retracted his gaze and continued towards the Myriad Phenomenon Peak.
Among the fiend sects, other than the most infamous Shura Sect's Rentu, Overlord Palace's Pang Yue was also rather eye-catching.
Pang Yue was at least a head taller than the other cultivators. Carrying a gigantic black spear on his shoulder, he strode forward with a ferocious gaze that was filled with malice!
Before long, Pang Yue caught sight of Su Zimo as well.
Unexpectedly, Pang Yue did not have any enmity towards Su Zimo. In fact, he even cupped his fists towards Su Zimo from afar and grinned.
Su Zimo also cupped his fists in return.
Apart from the geniuses, the most eye-catching things around the Myriad Phenomenon Peak were the sixteen clouds floating in mid-air.
There was a cultivator seated cross-legged on every single cloud, exuding a shuddering aura!
A total of sixteen Genying Zhenjun!
Through their attire and the sect badges on their waists, it was easy to distinguish the origins of the sixteen Genying Zhenjun.
Among the nine immortal sects, apart from Glass Palace, Genying Zhenjun came from Heavenly Dipper Sect, Snowdrift Valley, Purple Firmament Sect, Chaos Essence Sect, Clear Wind Temple, Zephyr Thunder Palace, Sword Sect and Soaring Feather Sect!
It was clear that the eight clouds were closer to each other.
Among them was Perfected Lord Luo Xue.
As for the seven fiend sects, only two Genying Zhenjun came from Shura Sect and Overlord Palace!
Of the six Buddhist monasteries, apart from Dapamkara Monastery, Genying Zhenjun came from Diamond Monastery, Hollow Monastery, Formless Monastery, Wisdom Monastery and Clear Heart Nunnery!
There were fifteen Genying Zhenjun from the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects.
On the sixteenth cloud sat a cultivator in gray Daoist robes. His sleeves fluttered and he held a feather fan in his hand, exuding an indescribable elegance.
Su Zimo shifted his gaze to Lin Xuanji who was not far away.
"This is Perfected Lord Yu Jun of Enigma Palace. His cultivation is unfathomable and he's also the host of the Jin Dan Phenomenon Ranking this time round."
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded.
A fragrance wafted over and a beautiful girl appeared beside Su Zimo. She wore a long pink dress and had bright eyes. She looked innocent and innocent, as though she was even younger than the little fox.
Little Fatty and the others were shocked and dodged one after another, not daring to look at her with wary expressions.
Although the girl looked harmless, she was the Pure Maiden of the fiend sects who could bewitch all living beings!
Even women would fall for her charms if they were not careful, let alone men!
Su Zimo glanced sideways and smiled. "You're here too."
"Of course, how can I miss out on such a lively scene?" Demoness Ji snickered.
Even without her relationship with Ji Yaoxue, the two of them would not be too distant.
Back at the Human Emperor's Palace, when the paragons of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects surrounded Su Zimo, this girl was the only one who stood by his side without hesitation!
Su Zimo was not going to care about the so-called "tripod".
Even under those circumstances, Demoness Ji chose to stand by his side. Even if he was a furnace, Su Zimo would accept it.
He did not have many friends.
No matter how he looked at it, Demoness Ji was one of them.
"The impact of the battle beneath the Human Emperor's Palace 20 years ago was way too great,"
Demoness Ji sighed and raised her chin. "Although the fight for the Phenomenon Ranking was intense previously, there shouldn't have been so many famous Genying Zhenjun spectators!"
"Everything has to do with you."
"Oh?"
Su Zimo was surprised.
Initially, he thought that it was normal for Genying Zhenjun to arrive in Myriad Phenomenon City.
Demoness Ji looked at the 16 clouds in midair. "The Genying Zhenjun seated on them are not Sealers with declining blood qi and nearing the end of their lifespans."
Su Zimo could tell that as well.
All the Genying Zhenjun on the clouds were filled with blood qi and had immense lifeforce – it was clear that they were at their peak.
Demoness Ji continued, "Not only that, apart from Perfected Lord Yu Jun of Enigma Palace, the remaining 15 Genying Zhenjun are top-tier experts of Tianhuang Mainland!"
"For example, Perfected Lord Luo Xue of Snowdrift Valley, Perfected Lord Hun Yi of Chaos Essence Sect and Perfected Lord Beidou of Heavenly Dipper Sect … none of them are nameless,"
Su Zimo was even more puzzled and asked, "What has the gathering of these people got to do with me?"
"It's because of the battle beneath the Human Emperor's Palace 20 years ago!"
Demoness Ji replied, "Don't underestimate the fact that it was merely a fight between Foundation Establishment Cultivators. However, it caused quite a stir in the various super sects."
"In that battle, the paragons nurtured by the various super sects were either killed or injured. I reckon that the reason why these top-tier Genying Zhenjun are here is to prevent something like that from happening again. "
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
He had a vague feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed!
His spirit perception was extraordinarily sharp.
On the surface, the Genying Zhenjun seemed high and mighty, sitting alone in the clouds and speaking freely.
Not a single gaze fell on him.
However, in the short period of time he had been here, no less than twenty Divine Senses had already swept past his body!
Demoness Ji said, "If this was in the past, given the way the fiend sects did things, they wouldn't bother to send Genying Zhenjun into the ancient battlefield. However, this time round, Shura Sect and Overlord Palace have sent people as well. "
Sensing the worry in Su Zimo's heart, Demoness Ji smiled. "You don't have to worry either. Enigma Palace is in charge here. Those people won't dare to mess around."
"Everyone, please be silent!"
Right then, a voice sounded in midair. It was neither loud nor soft but it spread to every single corner of Myriad Phenomenon City!
