Three days later.
Purple air comes from the east for three thousand miles, and auspicious clouds and mist surround the peaks.
In front of Ziyun Palace, white jade steps wind their way up from the foot of the mountain into the sky.
Each step is engraved with ancient Taoist patterns, emitting a pale purple halo in the morning light.
On both sides of the stairs, there is an ancient bronze tripod every hundred steps. In the tripod, red sandalwood incense that has been burning for a thousand years is burning. The green smoke curls up and interweaves into various auspicious beasts in the air.
Today is the once-in-a-century enlightenment conference in the divine realm, hosted by Ziyun Palace, which invites geniuses from all major sects to participate in the great Dao.
clang--
The morning bell rang through the sky, and the one hundred and eight bell sounds shook the sea of clouds.
On the Guantian Pavilion at the highest point of Ziyun Palace, thirty-six banners painted with the stars in the sky fluttered in the wind.
The sky was filled with rosy clouds, a seven-color rainbow spanned the entire Ziyun Mountains, and flocks of cranes flew over the clouds, making clear calls.
In front of the mountain gate, disciples from various sects arrived one after another.
The first to show up were the Xuantian Sword Sect's group, led by Chen Qiuguan, who was dressed in a black robe and carried a three-foot-long green sword on his back. Although the sword hadn't been unsheathed, a sharp sword intent already emanated from his body.
Wherever it passed, tiny ice crystals condensed in the air.
Every step he took on the white jade steps left a shallow frost mark, which was quickly melted away by the purple air.
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.
"It's Xuantian Sword Sect's chief, Chen Qiuguan!"
"I heard that he has cultivated the Xuantian Sword Canon to the seventh level, and his sword energy can condense frost thousands of miles away."
"It's said that he's always wanted to challenge Li Lingge. This enlightenment conference might be interesting."
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of phoenixes and cranes singing in harmony came from the horizon.
Nine green phoenixes pulled a gilded phoenix chariot out of the clouds. The silver bells hanging on the four corners of the chariot rang, producing the sound of nature.
The curtain of the chariot was slightly lifted, revealing a stunning face with a spot of cinnabar as red as blood between the eyebrows. It was none other than Concubine Pei, the Holy Maiden of Tianyin Pavilion.
"I didn't expect that even Tianyin Pavilion would come."
"The Tianyin Pavilion's 'Nine Heavens Phoenix Attracting Technique' is indeed worthy of its reputation."
"This blue phoenix is an ancient exotic species, and it can be tamed and used as a mount."
Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the western sky, and the shadow of a huge Buddha statue appeared in the clouds.
In the Buddha's light, a young monk came floating on a golden lotus platform.
His face was peaceful, his eyes slightly closed, and in his hand was a string of bodhi seeds, each of which was crystal clear. With every step he took, a golden lotus grew under his feet. Lotus bloomed with every step, which was exactly the enlightened mind of the Vajra Sect's Buddhist disciples.
There was a magnificent atmosphere in front of Ziyun Palace. Suddenly, the crowd became agitated and everyone's eyes turned to the east.
There, a white figure was walking towards them in the air.
There was no gorgeous car, no dazzling vision, the man was just walking simply, but it seemed as if he was stepping on an invisible ladder, and each step fell exactly at the node of the rhythm of heaven and earth.
"He is Li Lingge of the Fuyao Sect!"
The name seemed to have some kind of magic, and the square, which was noisy just now, became quiet in an instant.
Chen Qiuguan of Xuantian Sword Sect suddenly opened his eyes, and the sword in the scabbard began to hum.
As the holy son of Xuantian Sword Sect and the direct disciple of the sect master, how could he not feel hostility towards a young man who almost stepped on him?
He had heard that on the day of the new member recruitment meeting, even the Sword God came out and wanted Li Lingge to join the Xuantian Sword Sect.
It had been his lifelong dream to inherit the Sword God's legacy and enter the Divine Court, but Li Lingge achieved it with ease.
"That sword!"
At this moment, hanging around Li Lingge's waist was the jade sword that Wu Chen had given him.
The jade sword hung at the waist like a jade pendant, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"That's the Chaos Sword of Xuantian Holy Sect!"
"Wu Chen actually gave away the inheritance that the Sword God left for the Xuantian Sword Sect!"
"It's a pity that even if the Chaos Sword was given to Li Lingge, he wouldn't join the Xuantian Sword Sect."
Listening to the discussions around him, Chen Qiuguan's sword intent suddenly surged.
Saint Pei Fei's fingertips unconsciously plucked the silver bell on her wrist, and her beautiful eyes followed Li Lingge's footsteps.
"Is this the Li Lingge who's been so popular recently?"
She nodded slightly and murmured.
"He's quite handsome."
Mingxin, the Buddhist disciple who had kept his eyes closed, also raised his eyes slightly.
"Mr. Li and my Buddha have a connection."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.
Concubine Pei covered her mouth and chuckled, jokingly saying.
"I wonder how many people in this world want to recruit Li Lingge as their disciple. Are you trying to lure away someone else's disciple just because they say it's fate?"
Li Lingge landed on the ground, his footsteps so light that they didn't even stir up a speck of dust.
He looked up at the highest point of Ziyun Palace, where a purple figure was standing in the air.
Du Ning is wearing a purple long dress today, which adds a touch of maturity to her look.
She waved her hand gently, and the nine palace gates opened at the same time. Purple air rushed out from the palace gates like a dragon, and intertwined into a huge word "Tao" in the sky.
"The Enlightenment Conference will begin in an hour." Du Ning's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. "My friends, you have come from afar. Please come into the Floating Cloud Hall for a chat."
The moment they saw Du Ning appear, everyone was shocked.
"I didn't expect that the Palace Master of Ziyun Palace would personally welcome the guests!"
"In the past, this Palace Master Du would only show up when the Enlightenment Conference began. What happened today?"
"Of course, this time all the geniuses from the God Realm have gathered together, so Ziyun Palace will naturally take it seriously."
No one noticed that Du Ning's eyes were fixed on Li Lingge from beginning to end.
If Li Lingge hadn't been there, these youngsters wouldn't be worth her personally coming out to greet them.
However, before anyone could respond, Chen Qiuguan stepped forward first.
