Chapter 646 - 308: Celestial Awakening Island Opens!
On the first day of June, the weather was already getting hot, with the sun shining unrestrainedly upon the earth.
As the opening day of Celestial Awakening Island approached, cultivators from various parts of the Five Continents who received Zhengyang True Immortal’s invitation began to arrive one after another.
In addition to the chosen cultivators, there were also many seniors who came to ’supervise’ their juniors, and a significant number of people attracted by the sensational news came to watch the spectacle.
The small pool city at the southernmost part of Zhongyuan Continent had never been so lively, with the city overcrowded and even the forests outside filled with people. Extraordinary and exotic figures gathered here, while the inhabitants watched the exotic creatures walking on the streets and flying in the sky, stunned in disbelief.
The mortals living in this most remote city never thought they would see so many immortals in their lifetime; the small pool city was likely the first city in the world where the number of cultivators exceeded that of mortals.
This legacy competition shook the world, yet the rules it followed were surprisingly simple—
Everyone invited and willing to participate would enter the island today, and those who arrived late would not be received. The opportunity lies within the island, and whoever finds the opportunity and brings it out of the island will be recognized as the heir by Zhengyang True Immortal.
However, often the simpler the rules, the fewer restrictions, leading to more complex scenarios and dire crises.
Fortunately, the invitation from Zhengyang True Immortal to everyone is their greatest life-saving talisman. On this island, there are various restriction techniques applied by Celestial Awakening that prevent anyone from leaving the event prematurely unless they tear up the invitation. Once torn, regardless of their location on the island, they can be instantly transported to the South Sea shore!
This is destined to be a harsh competition, but in front of the most valuable treasures of the world, everything is worthwhile.
You Su also rushed to the small pool city on this last day.
He stood at the bow of the Cloud Crane Ship, floating slowly through the sky.
The Cloud Crane Ship hovered elegantly, its treasure lights shimmering, full of grandeur, yet surprisingly insufficient in this setting.
On the sea surface were massive ships from all over the Five Continents, and nearly a hundred flying ships floated in the sky, among which no fewer than ten were even more magnificent than the Cloud Crane Ship. Even a group of people stood on the back of a giant bird that obscured the sky, a sight that made people click their tongues in amazement.
The crowded masses swarmed below like ants, with this generation’s most outstanding talents already eager and ready to act.
"Can you see, can you see?"
Behind You Su, a mature woman dressed in a luxurious green phoenix gown stood with her arms crossed, her face noble. Under the sunlight, her curves were clearly defined and stunningly beautiful.
"Can’t see..." You Su blinked and answered honestly.
The Third Elder pursed her red lips upon hearing this, "If you can’t see, then don’t act like you’re overwhelmed with emotion."
You Su remained silent, knowing that ever since he decided to accept the invitation to Celestial Awakening Island, the Third Elder’s attitude towards him had been less than friendly. She would often pick on him, both openly and subtly, but You Su was not upset. Instead, he felt a warmth in his heart, understanding that this was just because the Third Elder didn’t want him to take this risk, explaining her unusual behavior.
Despite the Third Elder’s reluctance, she still personally piloted the ship to bring him to the small pool city.
Not only did the Third Elder come to send him off, but also Wangshu Fairy and the other disciples of the Third Elder.
This group of chirping beauties gathered at the bow of the ship, eagerly observing the sights on the sea, their colorful clothes resembling a large floating cloud in the sky.
From afar, they indeed saw a dense, lush giant island on the sea.
The concept of a sea island is extremely unfamiliar to the people of the Five Continents, as evil spirits are hidden in the deep sea, making the Five Continents people extremely cautious about the act of sailing.
"Si Han, Zixun, are you really going to land on that island?"
The second senior sister from Bihua Peak asked with concern.
The Third Elder’s eighth and ninth disciples were at the Water Condensation Middle Realm Perfection level of cultivation and also received invitations from Zhengyang True Immortal, leading all the female disciples to come and see them off.
Shi Yan was in secluded retreat trying to break through, and did not receive an invitation, while Ye Qingchen was left at Bihua Peak to guard the family affairs under the pretext of the Third Elder claiming that Bihua Peak cannot be left unattended.
The gentle Si Han wore her favorite blue dress, secretly glanced at You Su, then clenched her fist and firmly declared:
"I leave Bihua Pavilion entrusted to all senior sisters. As cultivators, training is essential, and although I may not guarantee winning the opportunity for the master, Si Han will certainly try her utmost."
The Third Elder was moved by these words and held her timid disciple in her arms:
"No need to force yourself, the opportunity is something that can be encountered but not sought after. I don’t demand it as a master. You’ve always been well protected, so it’s gratifying that you seize this training opportunity; I am proud of you."
The Third Elder also conveniently pulled the purple-skirted Zixun into her arms. Although this eighth disciple was usually lively and generous, she was now silent, presumably scared after seeing so many competitors.
Fortunately, the Third Elder had a broad bosom, embracing two charming girls without feeling crowded, sharing a large watermelon:
"Zixun, are you scared? It’s alright to give up, refusing someone’s invitation isn’t wrong."
Unexpectedly, Zixun shook her head, poked her head out from the large watermelon, and dazedly responded:
"Master, I wasn’t scared...I was thinking, if I become the one who ultimately seizes the opportunity, wouldn’t I be in the spotlight? No, it’s the spotlight of millions. By then, I’ll suddenly lift my skirt!"
"Pfft... Zixun, what kind of fetish is that?"
