Qin Wentian stood on the mountain peak as he stared ahead. Below him, there were eight other immortal mountains that were shrouded in mist. There were experts on each of the mountains and right now, the ninth immortal mountain he was on, was actually the highest peak.
A sharp gaze landed on him. Qin Wentian turned his gaze over, only to see a cold and handsome figure beside him. That person's deep black eyes seemed to contain sharp swords within. For those who ascended the nine mountains, they were all here for the sake of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's disciple selection. This person was originally the most dazzling, unique and unmatched. But Qin Wentian's appearance had shattered the uniqueness of that person.
In addition, the aura exuding from Qin Wentian was much weaker compared to him. Clearly, Qin Wentian's cultivation base was much lower compared to him. However, his perception wasn't any weaker compared to him.
In the Royal Sacred Region, countless people inclined their heads and stared at the nine immortal mountains below. They stared at the young man who stood at the highest peak. His white robes fluttered in the wind, exuding an incomparably handsome aura. Even when competing against experts from the immortal realms, he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all.
The top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm grew more and more dazzling. Nobody could obstruct his radiance.
As for the people of Grand Xia, no matter if it was Fairy Qingmei in the royal palace, or those former transcendent powers, all of them were in a daze as they stared up in the air. Qin Wentian would definitely walk higher and higher on his path of cultivation. Just like now, they could only look up to him in admiration, until one day, he reached a height they couldn't even dream of.
The people of Chu felt their hearts trembling. The young man who walked out from Chu was actually flying up into the sky. This was the grand disciple recruitment ceremony of a supreme existence from the immortal realms.
At this moment, over a hundred thousand people had already appeared on the nine mountains. The first mountain had the most people, and the higher one went, the fewer people there were. There were only two people on the ninth mountain, hence it was extremely dazzling. Even for the eighth mountain, there were already several tens of people.
"How many people from the immortal realms have entered the Royal Sacred Region exactly?" Qin Wentian silently mused. A single world was simply too vast. Even if it was just an ancient country, there would be billions of lives in it. In the Royal Sacred Region, the population wouldn't be less than ten billion. Even if there were millions of people from the immortal realms, they wouldn't be conspicuous if they were scattered among the crowd.
Scum like the evil-looking young man whom Qin Wentian killed were only the minority. Most of the people from the immortal realms wanted to grab hold of this opportunity and waited silently. Only now did they all walk out, stepping into the immortal light.
Zai Xuan arrived at the seventh peak. He inclined his head and stared at the Misty Immortal Mountain up ahead. He didn't see any familiar faces on the eighth peak as a cold smile appeared on his face. After which, he continued his gaze upwards and when he saw Qin Wentian, his eyes flickered with a cold light as killing intent flashed within. This time around, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor wanted to use this opportunity to recruit disciples. The Royal Sacred Sect wanted to eliminate Qin Wentian who didn't have the protection of the Medicine Sovereign Valley.
"The ninth immortal mountain peak." Lu Ziyan also arrived at the seventh mountain peak. There were already several hundred people here and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw the two silhouettes at the peak. That genius from a country bumpkin world was gradually revealing his brilliance. She, Lu Ziyan, had always been extraordinary but in the first round of the welcoming test, she was already so ordinary.
Two hours later, a third person arrived at the ninth mountain peak. This was a young man with a resolute gaze. He looked very ordinary and didn't exude any powerful fluctuations of aura. However, he gave off an indescribable sense of danger. This was especially so for his eyes. At first glance, they seemed ordinary but at second glance, they seemed to be extremely sharp. And if one looked more closely, they would be able to sense an extremely powerful ruthlessness in his eyes, as though there was an extremely deep obsession within.
"Haha, not bad. Three people actually appeared on the ninth mountain peak. Interesting." At the banquet in the immortal palace, the experts from the immortal realms all had expressions of interest on their faces. Although the news of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor accepting disciples didn't spread widely in the immortal realms, there were still many geniuses who came here after receiving the news. This was especially so for the immortal realms governed by the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
"There's actually a total of thirty-nine people on the eighth mountain peak. I didn't expect this." The eyes of these experts shone brightly, they were mainly staring at the ninth and eighth mountain peaks. Only those from these two mountain peaks had the qualifications to enter the 7th Heavenly Layer. Although the vast majority of them had a cultivation base at the fourth level of Celestial Phenomenon or above, it was already considered not bad. Although their fifth astral soul wasn't a violet-gold astral soul, it was already destined that they would have a sixth astral soul.
As for those below, the number of gazes that were focused on them was much lesser. Since they were accepting disciples, they naturally had to accept those who were outstanding in all aspects. With people from the eighth and ninth mountain peaks present, unless the performance of the people below was extremely outstanding, it would be very hard for them to attract any attention.
"Two more hours, the path of guidance shall be sealed." At this moment, Dongsheng Ting who was standing on the gigantic drum spoke, his voice echoing throughout the entire Royal Sacred Region.
Next, time slowly flowed by. The number of people on the immortal mountains grew lesser and lesser. After all, those who could reach the ninth mountain peak had already arrived.
Two hours passed, there were still three people on the ninth mountain peak while there were already forty-five people on the eighth mountain peak.
"Ten breaths of time left." Dongsheng Ting spoke.
"Nine breaths, eight … three, two, one. Time's up!" As the sound of Dongsheng Ting's voice faded, a bright light flashed on the ninth mountain peak. As the guiding light vanished, a fourth silhouette appeared, stepping on the last breath of time.
"This fellow's luck is truly good, he managed to make it at the very last moment." A female immortal king laughed.
"You are wrong. It's not that his luck is good, it's because he is confident." Deepflame stared at the young man who was the last to ascend the ninth mountain peak. His eyes were immeasurably deep. That young man's aura was calm as he stood there quietly, with no signs of panic at all. Was he just lucky? Risking his life just to make it at the very last moment?
If he struggled desperately to ascend the ninth mountain peak, his aura would definitely fluctuate. However, the calmness of this young man made it clear that he was extremely relaxed.
"Oh?" That female immortal king had a smile on her face. At this moment, she could also see some clues.
"Young Master Tianyi of the Scarce Moon Immortal Manor is extremely famous. This Que Tianyi's cultivation base is at the fourth-level of Celestial Phenomenon, and what's even rarer is that his fifth astral soul is an astral soul condensed from the 7th heavenly layer. This means that when he first broke through to Celestial Phenomenon, he could already ascend the eighth mountain peak. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to ascend the ninth mountain peak. In the immortal realms, there are many immortal kings who are willing to accept him as a disciple. It's just that the Scarce Moon Immortal King has always been guiding Que Tianyi personally. Now, it seems that he wants Que Tianyi to enter the tutelage of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor."
Deepflame's gaze slowly turned over, landing onto an old man in white robes. He laughed, "Scarce Moon Immortal King, you are truly good at grabbing hold of opportunities. You actually allowed Que Tianyi to descend to this particle world to fight for this opportunity."
"Scarce Moon Immortal King, you are truly a crafty old fox." The gazes of many turned to the Scarce Moon Immortal King. This old fellow also had a complacent expression on his face. Que Tianyi had a violet-gold astral soul, his perception was extraordinary and his talent was outstanding as well. If he could enter the tutelage of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, he would be able to inherit his legacy and there would be a possibility that two immortal kings would appear in the Scarce Moon Immortal Manor.
"I'm more optimistic about Que Tianyi. If he can really enter the tutelage of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, there's a high possibility that he would be able to break through to the immortal king realm in the future." Deepflame spoke.
"It's still too early. His current cultivation base is still too low, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Let's hope that he would be able to gain the appreciation of his Majesty." The Scarce Moon Immortal King was clearly more low-profile, but it was too early for him to boast. After all, there were simply too many geniuses in the immortal realms. Although Que Tianyi's talent was very good, if he wanted to become a supreme existence, he would have to overcome too many hurdles.
"Other than Que Tianyi, the second person I'm optimistic about is the first person who ascended the ninth mountain peak. From him, I can sense a similarity between us." Deepflame continued, "Secondly, there's the third person who ascended the ninth mountain peak. He exudes a sense of ruthlessness and is extremely stubborn."
"Why doesn't Deepflame think highly of the second person? He is the youngest and his perception is the strongest as well. His cultivation base is only at the first-level of Celestial Phenomenon and logically speaking, he should be the one ranked second." The female immortal king had a gentle smile on her face as she slowly spoke.
"He is too young. From his youthful eyes, I can actually see an arrogant self-confidence. His talent can be ranked second out of the four, even comparable to Que Tianyi. However, it's very possible that he lacks tempering and tempering. He wouldn't be able to walk far on our path." Deepflame spoke with a tone that could sever metal and sever iron.
"Indeed, I can see an intense conviction in his eyes. But it's only natural for a young genius to be arrogant. Deepflame, your view is a little biased." The only female immortal king retorted.
"Haha, let's see then." Deepflame laughed uproariously. After which, he stared at Bai Wuya and asked, "Bai Wuya, what do you think?"
"If you don't even have confidence in yourself, how can you make others believe you? Speaking frankly with assurance and composure, aren't you the same as being arrogant?" Bai Wuya mocked. "If I were his Majesty, I would definitely accept this young man as my disciple. His potential is the greatest, surpassing Que Tianyi."
"Both of you are right." Everyone laughed. As to why Deepflame didn't think highly of Qin Wentian, wasn't it because the gaze in Qin Wentian's eyes was somewhat similar to Bai Wuya's? That kind of arrogance and self-confidence gave people a misconception that they didn't know how high the heavens were.
Only to see that at this moment, Dongsheng Ting walked over. He stared at an immortal king as he smiled, "My royal father instructed me that if any of the seniors came, I should get them to help him test them. Next, I hope to ask the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King for help."
The Myriad Incarnations Immortal King was none other than the only female immortal king at the banquet. Although she was a female, her combat prowess was extremely powerful. Ordinary immortal kings weren't her match at all. Her ability to transform into a myriad of forms caused countless people to tremble in fear.
The female immortal king smiled at Dongsheng Ting, "It's my honor to be able to help the Eastern Sage Great Emperor."
"Senior's cultivation base is extraordinary, it's extremely suitable for you to test them. This time around, let's directly select a hundred participants to observe." Dongsheng Ting spoke.
"No problem." The female immortal king smiled and nodded. After which, she closed her eyes as a strand of immortal sense gushed forth from the centre of her brows. In the next instant, a beautiful silhouette appeared on the nine mountain peaks. This was none other than the immortal sense of the female immortal king.
"Next, I will test all of you. The hundred participants who persist the longest can stay behind." The female immortal king slowly spoke. In the next instant, a terrifying strand of immortal sense enveloped the entire Nine Immortal Mountain. Everyone who was staring at the Myriad Incarnations Immortal King was instantly drawn into her world!
