The matter of Qin Wentian wielding the demon sword and standing outside the Moon Continent caused a huge wave of commotion.
Currently in Grand Xia, although there were many who didn't know of Qin Wentian, how many didn't know of the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings?
At the very least, in the nine continents of Grand Xia, other than those who didn't care about external affairs, how could the others not know of Qin Wentian?
During these days, there were many who came to try and pull out the demon sword, yet they had no way to do so. There were also many who came to admire the sword, wanting to see what was so special about it that other than Qin Wentian, no one else was able to pull it out.
At this moment, a white-robed silhouette floated in the air. This man was handsome beyond compare, exuding an aura that stood out from the rest. Among the crowd, one could tell with a single glance that he was different from the rest.
At the instant he appeared, the gazes of several people landed on him, as traces of worship could be seen in their eyes.
Hua Taixu, the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings. Back then, no one could shake his position.
Not long ago, in the battle he revealed his cultivation base, he wasn't at the second level of Heavenly Dipper, but was actually at the third level instead. His combat prowess was so strong that it was terrifying, he even killed a fourth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.
That battle caused Hua Taixu's name to resound throughout the entire Moon Continent.
Throughout the generations, the top rankers of the Heavenly Fate Rankings would all become characters whose names shook Grand Xia. As long as they didn't die, they would definitely be ranked within the Heavenly Dipper Rankings.
And now, Hua Taixu was gradually advancing, revealing his brilliance. Given his current strength, he could be considered one of the more powerful characters in Grand Xia. If he was given a few more years, he would definitely become a character that stood at the peak of Grand Xia.
And at this moment, Hua Taixu arrived here, staring at the demon sword that belonged to Qin Wentian.
Hua Taixu, Qin Wentian!
In Grand Xia, people loved to compare the two of them because in the eyes of the younger generations, the two of them represented two different eras, both being the top rankers of the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
The difference was that Hua Taixu was born in a prestigious clan, a Heaven's Chosen of the transcendent power, the Hua Clan. He had always been dazzling, like the sun in the sky, exuding magnificence throughout his generations.
Qin Wentian was different, he seemed to have no background at all. The people he befriended were all young men of the same generation, but all of them were extremely outstanding characters. Back then when the Heavenly Fate Rankings ended, there were many who were willing to fight alongside him on the Vermilion Bird Arena Platform.
Right now, Hua Taixu was here, observing the demon sword left behind by Qin Wentian.
At this moment, Hua Taixu stepped out, staring at the demon sword.
The demon sword was silent, emanating traces of sword intent. It was very different from the rumors. Everyone knew that the sword qi surrounding this sword towered up into the heavens, and from a hundred miles away, one could feel the mournful wails of disrespect to the heavens and earth. Everywhere it passed, valleys would appear.
But at this moment, it seemed to be in a deep slumber, and no one could wake it up.
Hua Taixu stared at the demon sword for a long time before he turned and walked away. His countenance was as calm as ever, nobody knew what he was thinking about.
After Hua Taixu left, another silhouette appeared in this space. Naturally, she wasn't the only one here, but just like Hua Taixu, the moment she appeared, the gazes of everyone were attracted over.
Although her face was veiled by a veil, making it impossible to see her features, just a single glance was enough to stun the crowd, causing them to be unable to shift their gazes away.
This was naturally a female, clean and tidy, without a single speck of dust on her. Cold, it was as though no one could get close to her. She was like a snow lotus on top of an ice mountain, standing proudly in the snow, proud and aloof, not wanting to mingle with the mortal world.
"How beautiful."
Her appearance stunned the entire space. Although no one could see her face, just from her eyes, as well as her skin that was as smooth as water, everyone could feel the magnificence of this female.
This was definitely a beauty that could dazzle the ages. Although the crowd was stunned by her beauty, nobody dared to approach her to profane her beauty.
However, in her eyes, there was only that demon sword, as though she was thinking of something.
She only stood there for a moment before turning and walking away, causing countless people to speculate in their hearts.
Who was this female?
Which transcendent power could produce such a breathtaking beauty?
When the crowd finally reacted, they discovered that the silhouette had already vanished into thin air, completely disappearing without a trace. It was as though they were hallucinating, as though she had never appeared at all.
Such a feeling caused them to feel a sense of loss, as though they wanted to take one more look at that female.
"This time around in the Moon Continent, there's no doubt that the Pill Emperor Hall is recruiting a son-in-law for Mo Qingcheng. Given how breathtaking this female is, there's a high possibility that she's someone nurtured by a transcendent power, or maybe even the Mystic Maiden Palace. In that case, we might be able to see her during the recruitment. I definitely have to go and take a look."
Although they didn't dare to profane it, it was also good to take another look at it. Not only that, the Pill Emperor Hall was recruiting a son-in-law for Mo Qingcheng, and Qin Wentian brought the demon sword back to the Moon Continent. Such a huge commotion, they originally wanted to head to the Pill Emperor Hall to take a look.
Outside the Moon Continent, there was an endless stream of people, coming and going.
The only thing that didn't change was that demon sword. It stood tall on the ground, as though it was going to stay there, unmoving for eternity.
Only that person would be able to awaken it.
Experts from the various transcendent powers arrived at the Moon Continent, and for a period of time, the atmosphere was extremely lively. This was especially so for the central region of the Moon Continent, which was under the control of the Pill Emperor Hall.
Not long ago, Luo He had already announced to the world that the selection for Mo Qingcheng's son-in-law would be held at the top of the ninety-nine steps of the Pill Emperor Hall. For ordinary people, although they couldn't ascend the ninety-nine steps, they could still stand at the bottom of the steps to spectate.
For those below thirty, with outstanding talent and an extraordinary appearance, they could all participate in the selection.
Since this was a selection for the Pill Emperor Hall, firstly, the appearance of the chosen must not be too bad, or it would damage the image of the Pill Emperor Hall. Secondly, the age of the chosen must not be too old. After all, Mo Qingcheng was in the prime of her life, how could she marry a middle-aged man or an old man? And of course, the most important thing was still strength and talent.
As for background, that was the last thing the Pill Emperor Hall would consider.
For the selection this time around, the top three in terms of strength would be chosen, and the Pill Emperor Hall would then decide on the final candidate.
Although the rules didn't state clearly that they had to ask for the background of the candidate, the hearts of the spectators were as clear as a mirror.
But no matter what, leaving aside the prestige of the Pill Emperor Hall, just based on Mo Qingcheng's beauty, as well as her terrifying talent in alchemy, it was more than enough to move the hearts of the young geniuses. Although Mo Qingcheng seemed to have feelings for Qin Wentian, the Pill Emperor Hall had already announced this matter to the world, and it was being held in the presence of Grand Xia.
Today, on the ninety-nine flight of steps leading up to the Pill Emperor Hall, in a majestic hall, Luo He sat with her eyes closed on the main seat. Below her, Bai Fei and the other disciples were currently reporting the names of the participants of the son-in-law selection.
"Master, from the looks of it, all the transcendent powers have disciples participating. Although they aren't the most outstanding among them, they are all extraordinary characters." Bai Fei inclined her head as she respectfully reported to Luo He.
"Mhm." Luo He closed her eyes as she nodded her head lightly. "Are there any names of Hua Taixu, Chen Wang and the others?"
"Nope." Bai Fei replied. Luo He didn't say anything, she also knew that this selection was for the sake of the Pill Emperor Hall. Although the transcendent powers were all extremely concerned, they would still consider the pros and cons. It was impossible for them to allow a character like Hua Taixu to step out. If not, if the Pill Emperor Hall chose Hua Taixu, would the Hua Clan allow Hua Taixu to marry into the Pill Emperor Hall?
"Are there any characters worthy of attention?" Luo He asked again.
"Nope, I didn't discover any." Bai Fei shook her head. "There are a few who aren't from a transcendent power, and their strength is only at the first level of Heavenly Dipper. But such characters would be easily eliminated."
This time around, outstanding characters below the age of thirty who had just broken through to Heavenly Dipper naturally wouldn't stand a chance.
"Mhm." Luo He nodded her head once more as she spoke, "Go ask your Junior Sister, tell her that there are still seven days left, and that is her final deadline. If she really wishes to disobey my orders, I will make her obey me."
Bai Fei naturally understood the meaning behind her words. At that time, Mo Qingcheng's heart would no longer be in her control.
That night, the atmosphere in the Moon Continent was extremely quiet. However, outside the Moon Continent, a commotion broke out. Many people could feel the towering sword might, and when they sensed it, they discovered that the aura of the demon sword was soaring up into the heavens, heading in the direction of the Pill Emperor Hall. Along the way, many spectators flew up into the air to spectate.
Early the next morning, the experts of the Pill Emperor Hall stood at the top of the ninety-nine steps of stairs as they stared ahead. Over there, a terrifying ancient sword with a length of over a thousand meters could be seen embedded into the ground. Although it was still some distance away from the Pill Emperor Hall, because the demon sword was too tall, it was too conspicuous. Regardless of who it was, they would be able to see it with a single glance.
The meaning was clear even without words.
This was already a provocation. Last night, when the sword qi neared, many experts of the Pill Emperor Hall had already sensed it. However, although the sword intent was towering up into the heavens, it was only slowly inching closer. Initially, there were experts from the Pill Emperor Hall who tried to investigate, but when the sword qi swept past them, they didn't dare to advance. And when the upper echelons of the Pill Emperor Hall acted, the pressure from the sword qi was so great that they didn't dare to advance recklessly.
Finally, when they arrived, the demon sword had already been embedded into the ground. As for the person controlling the sword, he was no longer there.
Such a situation was already a great humiliation to the Pill Emperor Hall. They had as many experts as the clouds, yet they actually allowed a sword to be embedded into the ground within ten miles of the Pill Emperor Hall.
Luckily, Qin Wentian had no way to control the sword. If not, based on their conjectures, if Qin Wentian could control the sword, he would definitely be able to dominate all Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns.
Luo He's countenance turned ashen. Last night, she was also frightened by the sword intent and didn't dare to approach it.
She simply didn't dare to imagine that back in Chu, this was the doing of a minor character that she wouldn't even spare a glance at.
However, that sword was there, yet nobody was able to pull it out!
Could it be that because of the provocation of a junior, the Pill Emperor Hall was going to mobilize their supreme elders? If that happened, the face of the Pill Emperor Hall would be completely thrown away, becoming the laughing stock of Grand Xia!
Mo Qingcheng was currently imprisoned in a palace. Although she was restrained, she couldn't help but to feel bewildered when she sensed the sword intent. Where did the sword intent come from? Why was it so strong that it permeated the entire Pill Emperor Hall?
