Above the Seat of Outstanding Individuals, halfway up the Mountain of Books, there are three thousand seats known as the 'Seats of Prodigies.' However, securing a place among those three thousand seats is clearly extremely difficult. One must rely on sheer strength to overcome the challenges posed by eighteen thousand outstanding individuals, fighting their way up step by step.
Three thousand positions may seem like a lot, but in reality, when spread across the entire universe, they are extremely few. Even a disciple of a saint might not be able to earn just one position.
Further up are 108 seats, almost at the top of the mountain of books, known as the 'King's Seats'. Anyone who can secure a seat there can be called a young king.
The Yantian Assembly is a grand event in the universe, but only 108 people can sit on the throne. Just thinking about it makes you realize how fierce the competition is.
Even a Saint Body would have to carefully consider whether their cultivation level is sufficient to occupy one of the 108 seats.
Above the throne, which is also the summit of the mountain of books, are nine "world child seats".
Only those who secure one of the nine positions can become a "Disciple of the Realm," and at the same time, be on equal footing with the talented woman of the Sacred Book.
The nine constellations are not merely nine seats; they represent unparalleled honor and a symbol of supreme status, making them coveted by countless people.
Hades, on the other hand, needs to bring Shi Mengqi and Qingran along to help them sit on the constellation of the World Child, which shows how terrifying the difficulty is.
Below the mountain of books, countless young cultivators stared intently at the nine seats, their eyes gleaming. They would gladly pay the ultimate price to sit in those seats, even for a short while.
Tonight's Yantian Conference will surely be recorded in history, symbolizing the arrival of an unprecedented golden age of martial arts.
Below the mountain of books, there is only a path three zhang wide, with steps made of stacked books leading to the top.
At this moment, chaos reigned at the crossroads at the foot of the mountain, with thousands of people fighting. Various True Martial Treasures clashed with each other, and occasionally even Sacred Artifacts were unleashed, sending a large number of cultivators flying.
The scene before me resembled a large-scale war; it was truly magnificent.
In the chaos, many people were knocked down before they even reached the entrance to the mountain path.
Every fifteen minutes, only a handful of people would break free from the chaos and embark on the mountain path. And none of these people who managed to fight their way out were weaklings; they were all renowned masters.
Even cultivators who climbed the mountain of books were constantly being knocked down, and very few were able to maintain their seats.
Two screams rang out as Yan Bing and Li Bo simultaneously fell from the mountain of books, covered in blood and grime, suffering severe injuries.
Upon seeing this, Yan Qin immediately dispatched the Yan family guards to carry the two of them down.
Clearly, given Li Bo and Yan Bing's abilities, they were not qualified to participate in the Yantian Conference, not even for the fourth-tier seat, the "Hall of Outstanding Talents."
"Boom!"
In the distance, a Qilin chariot approached, its three-zhang-high shafts leaving two deep tracks on the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The Xuanbing Qilin pulling the cart was a sixth-tier superior savage beast. The icy aura emanating from its body froze the ground within a radius of several dozen feet.
A young man in his early twenties stepped out of the Qilin chariot. He was wearing golden armor and holding a bronze halberd of sacred quality.
This person, named Chen Tianpeng, is one of the heirs of a place called the Eastern Domain Holy King's Mansion. He is quite powerful, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the late stage of Earth Immortal.
Hades looked around and noticed that many people were accompanied by guards. He smiled slightly and said to Shi Mengqi and Qingran, "Tonight, I will be your protector."
Shi Mengqi and Qingran were stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. What Hades did was his business. They could just casually mention Wang Hao's past, since it was a painful memory they didn't want to bring up.
However, Shi Mengqi looked at Hades deeply, with some doubt in her heart, because once one becomes someone else's guard, one cannot sit on the throne.
However, she didn't ask any more questions. Since Wang Hao's death, Shi Mengqi hadn't smiled for a long time.
At the foot of the mountain of books, chaos reigned.
Within a radius of five miles, cultivators were fighting, all trying to break through the encirclement and rush up the mountain steps.
One of the cultivators, a mid-stage Earth Immortal, upon seeing Hades, Shi Mengqi, and Qingran enter this area, actually raised a black, scaled spear and thrust it at Hades.
"boom!"
Because the force was so great, the tip of the spear rubbed violently against the air, forming a concave air arc.
Hades shook his head, and an extremely powerful spiritual force instantly emanated, forming two characters that appeared in mid-air.
"Get out of the way."
A powerful sonic wave surged from his body. It was visible to the naked eye as the sonic wave surged forward.
A whooshing sound was heard.
Including the mid-stage Earth Immortal cultivator, all the dozens of cultivators in front of the Underworld King were blasted away by the sonic waves and swept into the air. The force was like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, clearing a large area.
"Bang! Bang!"
Dozens of cultivators fell to the ground one after another, their robes tattered and their skin covered in small, cracked wounds. Of course, none of them were seriously injured, just looked rather disheveled.
Such a powerful attack naturally stunned everyone present, and many cultivators stopped fighting and looked towards Hades.
"Who is this person? How can he be so powerful?"
"A single sonic wave shattered dozens of experts at the Earth Immortal realm. Such profound holy energy is comparable to that of a Great Perfection Earth Immortal."
"His control over his power was exquisite; he merely sent people flying without seriously injuring them."
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Hades strode steadily up the steps leading to the mountaintop.
The steps were made of stacked books.
"Whoosh!"
His left foot stepped onto the first step, and instantly, the scroll beneath his feet emitted a faint glow, and countless words flew out, swirling around Hades.
Each character is an array inscription, suppressing the entire space of the Book Mountain.
Shi Mengqi and Qingran followed steadily behind. Even when powerful figures occasionally attacked from behind, they were all blasted away by the aura surrounding Hades. Throughout the entire ordeal, Hades did not raise a single hand.
The 18,000 seats for outstanding individuals were already more than half full, and their eyes were fixed on Hades. Many of them were rubbing their hands together, looking eager to try their luck.
However, Hades was so famous that no one dared to make a move against him.
