Crimson flames blazed high up in the sky, illuminating the earth and enveloping the ancient Capital City of Sky Harmony City.
In the middle of the city, there were many luxurious buildings, and under the refraction of the sunlight, the majestic buildings appeared even more majestic. Numerous ancient bluestone streets extended all the way to the same location, and over there, there was a gigantic training ground. Behind the training ground, there was a majestic spectator stand, and further back, there was a majestic residence. Sky Harmony City, Bai Clan Residence!
At this moment, the current clan leader of the Bai Clan, Bai Qingsong, was seated on the spectator's stand. Beside him, there was a 16 year old girl with fair skin, long hair that draped over her shoulders, and a voluptuous figure.
"Congratulations on the birthday of the Bai Clan's clan leader." At this moment, below the red carpet that led to the spectator's stand, there were many people congratulating him. Bai Qingsong clasped his hands to the crowd, his face full of smiles.
"Bai Clan Leader, your daughter is only 16 years old, and her future is limitless." Someone smiled as he looked at the girl beside Bai Qingsong.
"You're too polite." Bai Qingsong casually replied. The number of people who had gathered here grew more and more, and the atmosphere was extremely lively. Not only that, there were many people who had brought along the younger generation of their clans. Evidently, they were here for the recruitment event of the Sky Harmony Academy.
"Rumble!" At this moment, on the bluestone streets far away, the sound of galloping hooves could be heard, as tens of thousands of horses galloped forth. Despite the distance, the people here could still feel the intense tremors. The gazes of the crowd involuntarily turned in that direction, as their pupils constricted.
"An army of knights!" The pupils of the crowd narrowed. Silver helmets, silver armors, silver saddles, and the pure white horses galloped towards the training ground. The crowd could only see a silvery white blur, causing their hearts to involuntarily pound violently.
"There's no way that the Sky Harmony City would have such a powerful army of knights. Evidently, they're from the Royal Capital." The hearts of the crowd mused. In an instant, the army of knights stopped in front of the training ground. The crowd could only see the pitch-black eyes of the knights, sharp and terrifying. A single look from them was enough to cause the hearts of the crowd to tremble.
"Whoosh!" A chorus of voices rang out in unison, as the members of the Silver Feather Knights dismounted from their horses. The only exception was the leader of the Silver Feather Knights. He placed both his hands on his helmet before slowly taking it off, revealing a pair of sharp eyes. It was none other than Icehawk. He then spoke to Bai Qingsong, "The Great Chu Capital, Silver Feather Knights, wishes Patriarch Bai Qingsong well."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately stepped forward and presented a congratulatory gift.
"Capital of Chu, the Silver Feather Cavalry Regiment." The pupils of the crowd froze. Someone from the Chu Capital had arrived.
Bai Qingsong stood there with a smile on his face, looking at Icehawk as he said, "Many thanks, please have a seat."
Icehawk lightly nodded his head as he walked along the red carpet to the side of the spectator stands and sat down. At this moment, the rumbling sounds of iron hooves could be heard once again, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble. And this time, it was as though the sound of iron hooves could be heard from several bluestone streets at the same time.
"Chu Capital, Mo Clan is here to congratulate Clan Leader Bai Qingsong."
"Chu Capital, Violet King Palace, here to offer our blessings to Bai Qingsong."
The thunderous voices grew louder and louder, as the troops and the Golden Lion Mounts gradually appeared in the field of vision of the crowd.
However, the most eye-catching thing was the silhouettes that were slowly approaching from the middle of the bluestone streets. There were a few carriages, and although there were only a few of them, and they didn't look imposing at all, the carvings on the carriages were of the tulip family. And the beast pulling the carriage was a dragon-horse with a long horn.
"Tulip emblem, it's the people from the Ye Clan." Some of the more knowledgeable spectators shuddered. The Ye Clan was like the sun in the sky, with geniuses emerging in large numbers. Among the descendants of the Ye Clan, there was the extremely talented Wu Xiu, who was currently cultivating in the Royal Capital Academy. There were also some who held positions in the army, and there were also some who were favored by the younger generations of the Royal Clan and married into the Royal Clan.
"It seems like the rumor of the Ye Clan intending to form a marriage alliance with the Bai Clan is true." Many in the crowd silently speculated. These people from the Royal Capital must have a good relationship with the Ye Clan.
An old man stepped out from the Tulip Family's carriage in front. His eyes shone with a piercing light. Bai Qingsong stood up and politely said, "Old Man Ye's presence brings light to my humble dwelling. Mister, please have a seat."
"Mhm." The old man from the Ye Clan lightly nodded his head, as he led his entourage forward. Although the number of people wasn't many, it was sufficient. After all, he was a Yuanfu Realm expert.
"Autumn Snow, this is what you brought to me, to the Bai Clan!" Bai Qingsong clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart as he murmured to the young girl beside him. He knew that there was only one reason for such a grand occasion, and that was because of the person beside him, his daughter, Autumn Snow.
At this moment, from afar, a row of silhouettes could be seen walking over, causing the pupils of the crowd to narrow. The Chu Martial Academy had arrived. Today, there were many people who came to the Royal Capital for the recruitment event.
"The Emperor Star Academy, there's really an Emperor Star Academy. As long as one enrolls into the Emperor Star Academy, they would definitely become a Yuanfu Realm cultivator. In the entire Chu Country, a Yuanfu Realm cultivator would be considered a major character." Many people had expressions of excitement on their faces, including those from the major clans. They all had high hopes for the Emperor Star Academy.
"And there's also the Royal Academy. This is an academy established by the Royal Clan, and has the backing of the Royal Clan."
"The Divine Wind Academy, and the Seven Stars Academy, the most prestigious and prestigious academy in the Chu Country, have all arrived." The crowd couldn't help but be agitated. There were many academies in the Chu Country, but this time around, the four transcendent powers were the strongest. Obviously, they all wanted to vie for Autumn Snow, while the other transcendent powers knew that they wouldn't be able to win.
The Four Great Academies came to the front of the Martial Arena's grandstand and gathered in a position facing the crowd. At this moment, a person calmly said, "Today, those who are under the age of sixteen and possess the strength of thirty-six bulls can participate in the exam and have the opportunity to enter one of the Four Great Academies. Now, those who meet the requirements and are willing to participate can come up to the stage."
As the sound of his voice faded, a commotion broke out in the crowd. However, many sighed. For those who were below the age of 16 and possessed the strength of 36 bulls, they would only be eligible to participate in the recruitment test. To Wu Xiu, only those who had reached the 6th level of the Body Refinement Realm could possess such strength. Many people didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the recruitment test.
"For those with exceptional talent and special circumstances, such as those who have condensed an Astral Soul from the 2nd Heavenly Layer or higher, the requirements can be relaxed." Another person added.
"Boom, boom …" Abruptly, the earth trembled, as though it was galloping. The gazes of the crowd turned around and looked behind them, only to see a group of cavalry galloping over like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the training grounds, causing the crowd to open up a path for them.
The person in the lead pulled on the reins of his horse, as he stared at Bai Qingsong, who was seated on the stage.
"Brother Qin Chuan has arrived, please take a seat." Bai Qingsong remained seated, as a cold smile appeared on his face.
Qin Chuan and the rest dismounted from their horses and stepped onto the Martial Arena, directly sitting down in a corner of the spectator stands. The gazes of the crowd shifted in that direction, only to see that the people seated there were all from the major clans of Sky Harmony City. They had all brought along their most outstanding juniors.
"Qin Yao has also arrived. Her talent is extraordinary, and she entered the Royal Academy over a year ago. Now, three of the four great beauties of Sky Harmony City have actually arrived."
"Bai Qingsong has the intention to form a marriage alliance with the Ye Clan. It's rumored that two days ago, a group of armored horses personally arrived at the Qin Residence, and ordered them to come today. I'm afraid that today, the Bai Clan will use the opportunity of Autumn Snow entering the Emperor Star Academy to annul the marriage. If that's the case, the Qin Clan would be the one to lose face."
Many people started whispering amongst themselves, while Qin Chuan's gaze swept across the crowd, as though he was searching for something. Very quickly, his gaze landed on a silhouette.
"Wentian." The pupils of Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed. Qin Wentian had really arrived.
Qin Wentian had already arrived long ago, blending into the crowd. His gaze was calm, yet within this calmness, there was a hint of unswerving determination.
"Okay, those who wish to participate in this examination, please come up." Talon spoke. He was one of the examinees from the Royal Academy. In order to show how much importance the Royal Academy placed on Autumn Snow, not only did Talon arrive, there were also a few others beside him. One of them was even his senior brother.
Below the Martial Arena, more and more youths ascended the stage, all of them exuding an extraordinary aura. At the same time, the youths from the major powers of Sky Harmony City also ascended the Martial Arena.
"Ning Feng from the Ning Clan. This person is only 15 years of age, yet he's already at the 7th level of the Body Refinement Realm. Not only that, he also awakened his Astral Soul last year. He's definitely an extraordinary character."
"Chen Yu, nearing 16 years of age. Although he has yet to awaken his Astral Soul and become a Stellar Martial Cultivator, he's already at the 8th level of the Body Refinement Realm, and has a high chance of entering the Martial Palace."
"Lin Yue, not even 16 years of age, and is already at the 7th level of the Body Refinement Realm. When he was 13 years of age, he condensed his first Astral Soul, and is one of the four great beauties of Sky Harmony City."
The majority of the gazes of the crowd landed on Lin Yue. Autumn Snow and Lin Yue were both part of the four great beauties of Sky Harmony City, and their ages were close to each other. They were often mentioned in the same breath, but now, Lin Yue had been left in the dust.
These people's cultivation methods were naturally different from Qin Wentian's. Even for those who could condense their Astral Soul, they had already started cultivating before they condensed their Astral Soul. Autumn Snow was no exception, but after that, Qin Wentian advised Autumn Snow to stop cultivating, and try not to absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth into her body.
However, Qin Wentian knew that Autumn Snow had still not stopped absorbing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. If not, with Autumn Snow's talent and his help, she might have been able to condense an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer much earlier.
At this moment, on the spectator stand, Autumn Snow's silhouette stood up. In an instant, all the gazes that landed on Lin Yue were attracted to her.
The genius of the Bai Clan, the number one genius of Sky Harmony City, and one of the four great beauties of Sky Harmony City. The major powers of Chu were all here for her. Unknowingly, this beautiful girl had too many halos surrounding her, causing people to look up to her.
