Chapter 364: Azure Sky Chart!
Very quickly, two months passed.
Finally, the day of the assembly of prodigies arrived, and countless strong individuals from all over the Nine Skies realm converged towards Thunder Sound Mountain.
Thunder Sound Mountain.
It is an Ancient Divine Mountain that recently rose from the ground, with the mountain’s body shining brilliantly, shrouded in a radiant glow, even the trees were glowing!
It is said that this was once a place of worship in the times of the Xuanhuang Sky, and now, it has been chosen as the meeting place for the assembly of prodigies.
At the mountain’s summit, there is a huge plaza paved with square blue stone bricks, ancient and weathered, grand and magnificent.
And at this moment, the plaza was already teeming with people.
In the sky, figures were still arriving from all directions, calling out to friends and exchanging pleasantries.
"Brother Wu, it’s been a while."
"Brother Ximen, since we last parted ways, eons have passed. The scenes of us lifting mountains and parting seas, advancing and retreating together, remain vivid in my memory."
"Indeed, it’s truly nostalgic."
"Hey, isn’t that Kong Yiji? It’s said he incorporates calligraphy into swordsmanship; his calligraphy is his swordsmanship, with five styles of Fennel Swordsmanship!"
"Gasp, it’s really him!"
"Look, it’s Song Changjing; it’s said he once single-handedly smashed dozens of prodigies of the same realm to death. Absolutely terrifying."
The murmuring discussions rose one after another.
And after a long while.
The sky changed color.
"Boom!"
A multitude of golden clouds gathered from the horizon, continuously rubbing against each other in the sky, blazing like fire.
Then, all the golden clouds violently rotated, forming a vast vortex hundreds of meters in diameter.
"He’s coming!"
"The Young Master of the Luo Family!"
The crowd collectively raised their heads, looking solemnly at the vortex, eyes filled with varying degrees of reverence.
"Hahaha, so many people came, it seems everyone still shows me face."
A cheerful laughter rang out.
Then, a brilliant beam of light projected from the golden vortex, and a dozen figures slowly descended.
The dozen or so people included both men and women, young and old.
And at the center was a handsome young man in purple clothing, with a noble air, surrounded by a purple aura, and a purple vertical mark on his forehead, resembling a crack or perhaps an eye.
This is Luo Chentian!
He hovered within the pillar of light, like a celestial body surrounded by stars, exuding the aura of the center of the universe.
"Greetings to the Young Master Luo!"
"Greetings to Young Master Chen Tian."
Everyone bowed their heads in salutation.
Many people here, in terms of age and seniority, were much older than Luo Chentian.
But circumstances were compelling.
They were like bankrupt heirs, whereas Luo Chentian was a wealthy heir arriving with immense resources.
They had no choice but to curry favor.
"No need for formalities, everyone."
Luo Chentian smiled and nodded at the crowd, appearing courteous and dignified.
He surveyed the crowd and said:
"Today’s gathering is mainly to represent my Luo family’s ancestors in offering some opportunities to all present."
"Rather than embellishment, it is better to provide timely help; currently, the Xuanhuang Sky is at its weakest, and my Luo family is willing to offer some resources, hoping to cultivate goodwill with the major forces in Xuanhuang Sky."
Saying this, he glanced at the elder beside him.
"Uncle Li."
The elder beside him understood and stepped forward, waving his large sleeve, sending a golden light soaring into the Celestial Vault.
"Whoa!"
The golden light spread out in the sky, actually forming a golden list, akin to an imperial decree; the list was embroidered with faint landscape and dragon-phoenix patterns, emitting a soft glow, appearing noble and mysterious.
Luo Chentian smiled and said: "This is a supreme treasure created by my Luo family ancestors using countless precious materials over ten thousand years, named the Azure Sky Chart. Whoever’s name is inscribed on it will receive the world’s fortune and energy infusion. You should all be aware of what this means, right?"
"What?!"
"Such a treasure?!"
The crowd was endlessly astonished, breathing heavily.
Fortune and energy infusion were exactly what they needed most; their strengths could not be restored to their peaks due to lacking fortune and energy, waiting for the revival of the Xuanhuang Sky’s energy to ride its coattails.
And now, this Azure Sky Chart could solve their greatest plight, allowing them to regain their prowess.
The fortune and energy of a world, even if a mere lower realm, would be enough to restore them to their peaks!
Truly befitting the ancestors of the Divine King Race.
What a grand gesture!
"What must one do to be inscribed?" Someone asked excitedly.
Others also looked expectantly at Luo Chentian.
Luo Chentian smiled and said:
"The list was forged by my Luo family ancestor using supreme mana, theoretically able to hold ten thousand names."
"However, to inscribe one’s name is not easy; it requires enduring a certain degree of backlash, which is also related to one’s cultivation level."
"In conclusion, unless one is truly outstanding, inscribing one’s name is quite difficult... I wish you all the best of luck."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt their hearts surge.
"Can it begin?"
A burly man inquired.
"Of course."
Luo Chentian nodded with a half-smile.
Whoosh!
Instantly, dozens of figures soared simultaneously into the sky, flying towards the enormous list in the sky.
"Get down!"
One individual, exceptionally strong, launched a sudden attack on the others, blasting them all away with a punch.
Then, he approached the Azure Sky Chart.
Below, everyone was watching him closely; in fact, the true strong ones were observing, letting him explore the way.
"My name is... Lu Ya... Pff!"
The man extended an index finger, tracing on the list like iron upon silver, but before he finished speaking, the Azure Sky Chart vibrated vigorously, a beam of golden light struck him, causing him to vomit blood and be thrown back.
"Pfff!"
Several light rings bloomed around his body and simultaneously shattered; it seemed that this tremor scattered all the power within him, temporarily losing his ability to fight.
The list had a name—Lu Ya!
However, in the next moment.
The name quickly dimmed, then completely vanished, like dried water stains.
"How could this be?"
"It was clearly inscribed, why did it disappear?"
"Young Master Luo?"
Everyone looked at Luo Chentian doubtingly, fearing that if Luo Chentian was joking about this, it would be excessive.
Facing the crowd’s gaze, Luo Chentian remained unfazed, calmly saying: "Its disappearance indicates he did not complete inscribing his name."
He looked at the man who had fallen, sternly asking, "Tell everyone your full name."
"I..."
At this point, the man was thoroughly embarrassed, reluctant to speak, but under Luo Chentian’s pressure, he flushed and said:
"My name is... Lu Ya Bao."
Instantly, jeers erupted!
Meanwhile, they realized that leaving one’s name on the Azure Sky Chart was indeed no easy feat.
Gravely, their hearts grew tense.
"Let me try!"
At this moment, a young man dressed in black soared into the sky, swiftly reaching the Azure Sky Chart.
"Swipe, swipe, swipe!"
With a few strokes, a name appeared on it, and instantly, the Azure Sky Chart emitted a brilliant golden light, a gold and silver True Dragon emerged, circled a few times, then entered the body of the young man in black.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, the body of the young man in black glowed, his aura climbed rapidly, like a sun hovering high in the sky.
"He succeeded!"
"Is this the power of the Azure Sky Chart?!"
"What a captivating aura."
The crowd’s eyes sparkled with excitement, their blood boiling, excitement mounting, eager to make a move.
Luo Chentian, observing the change in their expressions, also showed a hint of pride.
Yet, in the next moment.
When his gaze swept over the name on the Azure Sky Chart, his smile froze.
Qin Zi?!!
At this moment, the young man in black slowly turned around, grinning at him: "Young Master Luo, I assume I’m not an uninvited guest, am I?"
