Xiao Chen was happy to relax. He did not have to wear a conical bamboo hat, which would have been troublesome.
The Holy Scions and Holy Daughters successfully broke through to the Blue Robed Emperor realm. This was within Xiao Chen's expectations, so he was not too surprised.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the city gates, he released some of his aura and entered the city unobstructed.
Xiao Chen had already anticipated that Bright Moon City would be extraordinarily bustling during the Four Seas Hero Gathering. However, when he arrived in the city, he was startled.
The scene before him reminded him of the Five Nation Youth Competition in the Sky Dome Realm many years ago. Back then, the scene in Dragon Sealing City was no different from now.
It had also been extraordinarily bustling. However, in terms of scale and grandeur, it could not be compared.
Xiao Chen revealed a nostalgic expression. During the Five Nation Youth Competition, Xiao Chen had been reserved and proud. At that time, he had not feared any expert.
However, he had not been confident of victory. Along the way, he had taken every battle seriously. After putting in a lot of effort, he had managed to climb to the top after much difficulty.
Even now, Xiao Chen remembered the Little Dragon King, Xuanyuan Zhantian, Yue Chenxi's Breaking Dawn, Gong Yangyu's Everlasting Universe Staff Technique, and the grudges between Bai Qi and Sima Lingxuan.
All the more, he could not forget the final battle with Chu Chaoyun.
After that, Xiao Chen could finally say loudly, "Those who defeat me will be defeated by me. Those who wish to be defeated cannot be defeated by anyone."
Now, Xiao Chen no longer showed a reserved and proud expression. Instead, he showed calmness and confidence.
All along, Xiao Chen had felt that his mental state and strength were much higher than these outstanding talents' of the Heavenly Starry Ocean's younger generation.
Even though these outstanding talents had become Blue Robed Emperors and relied on the resources of their sects to become Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperors, they were still not enough for Xiao Chen to look at.
The reason was none other than the vast difference in mental state, cultivation, and personal accumulations. There was no way to compare them.
"Ao Jiao, what is the format of the Four Seas Hero Gathering and what are the rules?"
Following the flow of people in the city, Xiao Chen watched the matches on the stage with great interest while asking Ao Jiao about the details of the Four Seas Hero Gathering.
Ao Jiao and Little Yellow Feather were currently taking care of the various Spirit Trees in the Immortal Spirit Ring. Xiao Chen quickly replied, I don't recall there being any rules. It is just that whoever can outshine everyone else can snatch the top prize.
Xiao Chen stopped and said in surprise, "So casual?"
"That's right. Other than the first few who had to deal with the cultivators of the Penglai Sea, there weren't a lot of cultivators. From then on, the Four Seas Hero Gathering has continued very casually. There are no hard and fast rules, and there is no need to go through the complicated format of the preliminaries and finals. "
Ao Jiao spoke frankly with assurance. Then, she continued, There are no contestants. Every spectator is the main character. As long as you are confident, you can jump into the arena and challenge any of the Holy Scions.
"If you win, your name will spread throughout the world. If you lose, you will not be able to avoid physical pain. In serious cases, you might end up with some hidden injuries that will accompany you for life. "
Xiao Chen asked doubtfully, "Then, there will be close to a million spectators. If everyone goes up once, won't it be a mess? The gathering will last for half a month, and it will not be over."
Ao Jiao smiled and said, "That won't happen. There are experts in the Lunar Palace. Everyone has to survive a palm strike before they can enter. It can be considered a threshold.
"The threshold for every gathering is different. I believe the threshold for this year will be especially high."
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Unexpectedly, it is not an elimination competition like the arena competition. To think that the so-called gathering is so casual.
It is a competition of individual elegance. This is truly unexpected.
Ao Jiao burst out laughing and said, What are you worried about? It is a competition of elegance. However, if one is not strong enough and gets beaten up like a pig's head, how can there be elegance?
In the end, it still depends on whose fist is harder. As long as you keep beating up others and not being beaten up, elegance will naturally come out.
Xiao Chen understood. That's right. While it is elegance, in the end, it is strength.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen frowned. Then, he stretched out his right hand to his shoulder and firmly grasped a wrist.
Xiao Chen remained expressionless as he looked back. When he saw the owner of the arm, his pupils constricted, and shock appeared in his eyes.
"Brother Qi, it has been a long time."
The person who came was Qi Wuxue, whom Xiao Chen had not seen since he parted ways in Neptune's Palace.
Qi Wuxue smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let go first. The city does not allow private fights. If you still do not let go, the Lunar Palace's guards will be here soon."
When Xiao Chen heard that, he sent out his Spiritual Sense. Indeed, he saw a few sharp gazes directed at him. If he had any killing Qi, he would have taken action immediately.
Xiao Chen quickly let go and asked, "Why do I not see Long Fei? Didn't he come with you?"
When Qi Wuxue heard that, he smiled jealously. "Comparisons are odious. This fellow found an opportunity to break through to the Blue Robed Emperor and is preparing to show off his skills at the Four Seas Hero Gathering. This brother is barely a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
"He is currently challenging the Twenty-Four Bridges. Hehe! It is a very interesting arena. Come, Brother Xiao, I'll bring you over to take a look."
Seeing Qi Wuxue's mysterious appearance piqued Xiao Chen's interest. During the Four Seas Hero Gathering, there were many interesting arenas in Bright Moon City.
The next sentence of the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges was "Where can a beautiful person learn how to play the flute?" What was so special about this arena?
"Hehe! This Bright Moon City is rather fun. That brat Long Fei is really reckless. I really look forward to seeing how he will be defeated."
Qi Wuxue laughed heartlessly. Then, he led Xiao Chen on a mad dash and arrived at a bustling place.
"Excuse me! Excuse me!"
Qi Wuxue led Xiao Chen to a quiet, desolate viewing spot, ignoring the supercilious looks from others.
Xiao Chen looked to the front and saw an arch bridge carved from white jade on a clear river.
The jade bridge was exquisite and ancient, but the beauty on the jade bridge was beautiful. However, the beauties on the jade bridge were even more beautiful than the bridge. They looked even more ancient and ancient. Many white-clad women were outstanding beauties with outstanding grace.
When Xiao Chen counted, there were a total of twenty-four at the end of the jade bridge. A veiled woman stood on the railing of the bridge, playing the flute. The music was melodious and pleasant to the ears. It sounded like she was weeping.
The other twenty-three women held swords in their hands. Their eyes shone with a cold light as they weaved through the jade bridge. Their movements were elegant but filled with murderous intent.
Together with the illusory flute music, they performed a murderous dance.
Xiao Chen looked into the distance. It was clearly daytime, but a full moon hung high in the sky. The moonlight was like fire, its cold light competing with the sun, completely suppressing the light of the sun.
Those familiar with Bright Moon City knew that this was the mysterious and ethereal Lunar Palace of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. It hung high in the sky all year round, its light forever suppressing the sun.
The bright moon, the jade bridge, the flute music, the flowing water, and the sword dance — this scene was very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, making one reluctant to leave.
When Xiao Chen returned to the jade bridge, the one bitterly enduring the murderous sword dance of the twenty-three women was naturally the Corpse Race's White Bone Sovereign's descendant, Long Fei.
Qi Wuxue was at the side, nodding and exchanging opinions with Xiao Chen, discussing the various beauties of the women on the bridge.
"They all have their own specialties. It is really hard to choose. Brother Xiao, help me choose one. This time, I have to bring a Lunar Palace disciple back to Bright Moon City."
Aside from the Holy Daughter, the other female disciples of the Lunar Palace could marry.
Furthermore, the outstanding youths and Noble Clan disciples of the Heavenly Starry Ocean all took pride in marrying a Lunar Palace disciple. The matriarchs of several Holy Lands and Noble Clans were once Lunar Palace disciples.
From a certain point of view, the Lunar Palace's special status today seemed to be related to this.
However, it would be difficult for Qi Wuxue to marry a female disciple. He could not hide his evil aura. After checking his background, even if the young lady agreed, the Lunar Palace would not.
However, Xiao Chen had never heard of a Lunar Palace female disciple marrying into the Primal Chaos Domain.
Without needing Xiao Chen to refute, someone at the side could no longer bear to listen. Rolling his eyes, he said, "Aside from the Holy Daughter, the Lunar Palace also has the title of Jade Lady. There are twenty-four of them in each generation. The twenty-four people before us are the twenty-four Jade Ladies of the Lunar Palace.
"These are the daughters-in-law of the many Immortal Holy Lands and Noble Clans. With your appearance, you want to marry the Lunar Palace's Jade Ladies? Stop dreaming."
When Qi Wuxue heard this, he smiled faintly and did not get angry. Instead, he sized up this person. This person wore white robes and wore a white hat, looking very scholarly. He held a white folding fan in his hand, looking elegant and handsome. With one look, it was clear that he was a disciple of a Confucian sect.
Qi Wuxue leaned over and said with a smile, "You have extraordinary grace and a righteous aura. You should be a disciple of a Confucian sect, right? I have not asked for your great name yet."
A trace of pride flashed on the scholar's face. Then, he said in a somewhat indifferent tone, "I am untalented. I am Lu Hao, an inner courtyard disciple of the Heavenly Province Academy."
Qi Wuxue immediately showed a shocked expression. He exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "Heavenly Province Academy! To think that you are a disciple of an Immortal Holy Land. I simply could not tell earlier. Sorry, sorry. "
Clearly, Lu Hao felt extremely satisfied with the shock and astonishment on Qi Wuxue's face.
He put on an act and waved his hand. "It is just an Immortal Holy Land. Just treat it normally. Also, when facing the Lunar Palace's Jade Ladies, you cannot have any profane thoughts. You can look at them from afar, you can praise them, you can admire them. However, you cannot have any dirty thoughts. That is the way of a gentleman. "
Qi Wuxue nodded and said, "Brother Lu is right. This little brother did have some dirty thoughts earlier. Fortunately, Brother Lu reminded me in time."
Xiao Chen, who stood at the side, found it funny. With one look, he knew that Qi Wuxue was trying to con him.
However, Xiao Chen could not be bothered to remind Qi Wuxue. He did not have a good impression of this bookworm who spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
As long as Qi Wuxue did not go overboard and cause trouble, it would be fine.
Qi Wuxue was a yes-man, continuously flattering that Heavenly Province Academy disciple. By now, that Heavenly Province Academy disciple could no longer tell north from south. The two walked to the side and started chatting.
"Speaking of which, which Lunar Palace's Jade Lady does Brother Lu admire the most?"
Lu Hao had a righteous expression on his face. A fervent look flashed in his eyes as he looked at the girl playing the flute. "Naturally, it is the leader of the twenty-four Jade Ladies, Miss Fang Qingxuan, who excels in both the sword and the flute."
Qi Wuxue nodded meaningfully and said, "Miss Fang Qingxuan is indeed like a fairy descending to the mortal world. She has an aura that can topple cities. However, I wonder what kind of pretty face she has under the veil."
