Xu Chengyu had just stepped out of the spirit hall.

Then I heard two familiar voices beside me.

"Master..."

"Master..."

The two people who arrived were Wu Junyan and his companion. Having finally put aside the previous matters, the two naturally had some expectations for that prodigy.

"Master, didn't you say that today is the day the Eastern Wilderness Prodigies Gathering will begin?"

When are we leaving?

Wu Junyan's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Let's go now."

Xu Chengyu had barely finished speaking.

A dragon's roar suddenly echoed through the space.

Then Long Aotian's enormous body appeared.

"Owner..."

After a month of training with Lin Qingzhi, he finally understood what joyful cultivation meant.

The bottleneck of the Crimson Immortal Realm was broken without any restriction whatsoever.

"Elder Long!"

Upon seeing Long Aotian's appearance, Wu Junyan, who was standing to the side, also looked at him with curiosity.

At first, when Chen Lingling said that her master had taken in a dragon and a phoenix as the sect's guardian beasts, I was shocked.

The two were somewhat surprised, after all, the arrogance of the Dragon and Phoenix Clan was known throughout the continent. Not to mention becoming the guardian beast of the human race, once defeated, they would not give the other side any chance to be captured.

However, during this month, I also had contact with Long Aotian, and he was somewhat different from the stereotypical image I had in my memory.

They were very easy to get along with, but since it was their first time seeing the true form of a dragon, they were naturally quite curious.

Before the two could react, a gentle spiritual force quickly lifted them up and placed them directly on his back.

Xu Chengyu did not hesitate, but took a step forward, and then his deep voice echoed in Long Aotian's ears.

"We should go..."

"Yes, Master..."

......

The Gathering of Prodigies is the grandest event in the entire Eastern Wilderness, an exchange meeting spearheaded by the five top-tier sects.

All young people in the Eastern Wilderness can participate. As long as they can defeat the disciples of a first-class sect, they will have the opportunity to join the sect.

While first-class sects may not amount to much in the entire Azure Domain, they are already at the top in this small Eastern Wilderness.

The five first-class sects have stood in the Eastern Wilderness for thousands of years, and their foundation and strength are something that many young people aspire to.

Just being able to join, even as a mere outer disciple, is enough to revitalize the family and bring glory to the clan.

The location chosen for this Tianjiao Gathering is Yuntian City.

Three days ago, the entire Yuntian City had already been occupied by various forces, all in order to witness the brilliance of the strongest young generation in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

The streets were packed with people, and many factions were trying to find out about the five major sects.

"I heard that the five major sects are very well prepared this year, all for the sake of winning the top spot!"

"Isn't that right? My great-aunt's second great-grandmother's eldest grandson's cousin is a gatekeeper disciple in the Fire Spirit Sect. He told me that this year, the Fire Spirit Sect's chief disciple, who is less than forty years old, has already broken through to the Dao Palace Realm and has mastered the fifth-grade Fire Cloud Technique to the point of perfection. Such strength is simply terrifying!"

"Fire Spirit Sect? What's that? It's not even as good as Wu Lei, the chief disciple of Thousand Gates Sect! He has the cultivation of the third level of Dao Palace, a perfected fifth-grade sword technique, and has even condensed the rudimentary form of sword intent! That's a true genius!"

"You guys can relax! This Heavenly Pride Gathering is a battle of gods. It's just to give us weaklings a sense of participation. Who's strong and who's weak has nothing to do with us. If you're really not convinced, there's a betting place over there. Why don't you go and try your luck?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? This time I've got my eye on the Thousand Gates Sect. Sister-in-law, put in a good word, and the hearse will become a mourning room..."

"......"

Not far from the crowd, in a winery pavilion.

Two figures, one old and one young, leaned slowly against the window.

The young girl poured the old man some spiritual wine, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"Master, how can this be called the Gathering of Prodigies?"

“We’ve been here for so long, and the disciples of those five major sects might not even be qualified to become menial disciples in our Red Phoenix Palace. Isn’t it a waste of our time to come here?”

These words were spoken.

The old man took the spirit wine cup from the other person, took a small sip, and his deep eyes remained calm.

His gaze fell on the view outside the window before he slowly said:

"It's not easy to find suitable talents. If it's just for ordinary disciples..."

"Then why should we go look for it ourselves?"

"Let's wait and see. I have a feeling that there might be some unexpected surprises at this Gathering of Prodigies."

As a transcendent disciple of the Azure Domain, the Red Phoenix Pavilion has little interest in ordinary disciples, with dedicated elders in charge of them.

What the white-haired old man did was travel to various places in the Azure Domain, not only for himself, but also to recruit promising genius disciples for the entire Red Phoenix Pavilion.

The girl wanted to say something more, but the old man interrupted her.

"Seventeen, what did Master tell you?"

"You can't judge a book by its cover."

"Before you leave, do you still remember the principles for a genius disciple?"

Hong Shiqi pondered for a moment before slowly raising his head and saying:

"Master, are you referring to that?"

"Those with great potential have all had some special experiences."
