Night without Borders

Chapter 390 The Chosen One

"The Great Thunder Cicada has passed through." Golden light flashed in Bai Meng's eyes as he gazed at the streak of light at the edge of the horizon.

Few can master the "Divine Cicada Scripture," but Bai Meng is one of them. Moreover, he suffered greatly on this path and has vivid memories of it.

"Sister, he really looks like him!" Bai Meng reacted somewhat instinctively. Back then, in the Great Thunderclap Temple, not only was the Seven Treasure Pool stolen by that black-clad boy with a small nose and ears, but he was also called a pig. The other party broke his high and beautiful nose bridge, and even his plump and auspicious ears were torn apart.

Tang Yushang's red dress fluttered in the wind, her cultivation level was unfathomable. She actually shrank the distance to an inch and quickly approached the passing divine cicada.

“Gao…” she uttered calmly.

Originally, she wanted to shout the words "unattainable", but she swallowed the rest of the words back in an instant.

Dressed in black, Gao Chan's sleeves fluttered, like a cicada soaring through the night fog. Each time he landed and used the momentum, he could fly far away.

He was suddenly called softly. At first, he didn't pay much attention, because people of his status would naturally have many people trying to curry favor with him once they left Tucheng.

However, he still subconsciously turned around, and then his eyes were fixed on her, and a divine light flashed in them. The woman was like the sun and moon in the sky, and as her red dress fluttered, she seemed like a celestial being crossing the heavens.

He was truly surprised to encounter such a stunningly beautiful woman.

Many women can't pull off the look of red, giving the impression of heavy makeup, which inevitably leads to criticism and being dismissed as vulgar and tacky.

However, this woman possessed an extraordinary temperament. Her red dress exuded the noble air of a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe. Her eyes were as black as lacquer, and her waist-length black hair fluttered in the wind. She was truly a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

Gao Chan suddenly stopped and landed on the ground. The woman's charm was so outstanding and stunning that he immediately responded with a bright smile.

"I'm furious! He actually... laughed!"

In the early night, the wilderness remained as dark as an abyss, while the area near Kunling City, where the fire spring flowed gently, was bathed in soft light, as if immersed in ripples of moonlight.

The white beast was far away and could only be seen vaguely.

Tang Yushang, like a banished immortal, traversed the night fog. After clearly seeing the face of the black-clad youth ahead, she frowned slightly, as if she had mistaken him for someone else.

However, she then thought that both of them were in a state of mental wandering that day, and their consciousnesses only met briefly, so she still needed to confirm it carefully.

"This fairy, haven't we met somewhere before?" The usually calm Gao Chan was not so composed today. He was amazed by the woman's beauty at first sight, but after staring at her closely, he was somewhat lost in thought, because he felt as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Tang Yushang frowned slightly, finding him somewhat "greasy," and immediately felt displeased.

She came from a renowned holy clan and had seen all sorts of powerful figures, such as the successor of an earth immortal and the most prominent figures of top-tier clans. Many people wanted to get close to her, but the vulgar way this young man tried to strike up a conversation with her was really not very appealing.

Bai Meng, his eyes blazing with fury, rushed over, but upon seeing the man's face, he was immediately taken aback, realizing he had mistaken him for someone else.

"Your surname is Gao, and you live in Yujing?" Bai Meng asked tentatively, his tone gentle.

Gao Chan smiled faintly. He knew that the other party was trying to get close to him and curry favor with him, but he wouldn't be aloof because of the woman in red.

He nodded reservedly and said with a faint smile, "Yes, I come from a city under the jurisdiction of Yujing."

"You've mastered the legendary Sumeru Field and Heavenly Demon Force Field?" Bai Meng asked.

Gao Chanlu felt that this person was very good at playing the straight man and knew how to talk. He could just scratch his itch by mentioning his area of ​​expertise, which made him feel comfortable.

But his expression remained calm and composed as he said, "Well, in this world, when it comes to the Sumeru Field and the Heavenly Demon Force Field, the source naturally lies here with us."

Bai Meng felt "it's settled." The "unapproachable" person with a small nose and ears that he had encountered before, even if it wasn't this person, must have come from this lineage.

After all, the Divine Cicada Scripture, the Sumeru Field, and the Heavenly Demon Force Field must each fall within a top-tier lineage. If they all appear within the same sect, then... they have most likely found the right "family".

Even if the madman from back then wasn't this person, he must have come from the forces behind this person.

Gao Chan was taken aback, not expecting that the woman in the red dress would smile sweetly and then want to spar with him on this very spot.

Tang Yushang found him greasy, so she spoke sparingly.

Bai Meng, on the other hand, was more down-to-earth and did not immediately break off relations. He smiled and said, "My sister has been studying the Divine Cicada Scripture and the Sumeru Field for the past six months, so she wanted to exchange ideas with you."

Gao Chan nodded, thinking that the white-robed youth was very eloquent. The other party must have put in a lot of effort to get close to him and knew some of his information.

He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Please."

Then, he heard a loud boom, and the woman in red raised her hand, causing the Great Thunder Cicada to appear. Endless lightning, dense and numerous, descended from the void, engulfing him.

Gao Chan wanted to say, "You're just trying to get close to me, is that really necessary?"

"!" The next moment, he was speechless.

He felt a chill run down his spine, sensing immense danger. The stunningly beautiful woman before him was incredibly formidable.

Every gesture she made was exquisite, demonstrating that she had mastered the "Divine Cicada Scripture" to an extremely high level. Moreover, the flow of Daoist energy significantly enhanced the power of her divine skill.

Gao Chan was shocked. This woman must have an extraordinary background. Could she be a disciple of an Earth Immortal?
His body was tense, and he was fighting with all his might. If he was not careful, he might be knocked down and suffer a serious injury.

Gao Chan, who mainly cultivates the methods of immortals, is now unleashing pure Yang light. At the same time, the Sumeru Field and the Heavenly Demon Force Field expand outwards, overlapping with each other and blurring the void.

Around him, nine flying swords of different colors flew across the sky, forming a sword formation. Together with the two spiritual fields, it was like a net covering the sky and the earth. He was confident that he could look down on his peers.

However, Tang Yushang's power exceeded his expectations. The giant thunder cicada that she manifested was extremely terrifying. Its transparent cicada wings carried a long river of thunder, as if it were swooping down from the ninth heaven.

With a loud bang, the cicada tore open a corner of the spirit field!
The high monk's mind was shaken, and in an instant he unleashed twelve percent of his power. In his spiritual field, a magnificent mountain manifested, and the legendary Mount Sumeru appeared. Then, the heavenly demons descended upon the world!

His nine flying swords had already formed a sword array, and with the light of his mind, the hazy fairyland expanded outwards, and the killing aura soared into the sky from here.

It must be said that Gao Chan is very strong. He has stepped into the fourth realm and fought dozens of moves with the woman in the red dress in the blink of an eye.

"There's some trick to it," Tang Yushang said.

Bai Meng stared at the arena and realized that this person was indeed very extraordinary, quite powerful, but it shouldn't be that person.

Gao Chan remained expressionless, somewhat displeased. He was arrogant and proud, yet the other party had dared to criticize him with such a condescending attitude, and the four-word evaluation was not high at all.

In an instant, he used all his methods, transforming into a four-faced body in four directions, each with a face and a burst of consciousness, causing his combat power to rise sharply!
He came from an extraordinary background and naturally possessed several scriptures of the highest religious rank.

With just this one move, he was enough to make many of his peers despair. His combat power soared instantly, becoming four times stronger than before. When he encountered an opponent of the same level, which one could not be defeated?

In an instant, layers upon layers of spiritual energy waves, Mount Sumeru, and the Heavenly Demons all erupted with runes, and the nine flying swords, carrying the celestial scenery, expanded wildly...

Tang Yushang soared into the sky, her tall figure dispersing the night mist. Her eyes were clear, her black hair flowed like a waterfall, and her beautiful face was flawless. She was surrounded by layers of divine halos, as if she were standing in the highest heavens.

Gao Chan pursued him, assuming that his opponent was wary and avoiding his sharp edge, not daring to confront him when his combat power was at its peak.

However, as soon as he rushed up, he felt a tightness in his chest and his whole body was suppressed. What kind of force was that?
Tang Yushang's red skirt fluttered, and golden divine lotuses surrounded her. With a casual wave of her hand, even more wondrous sights appeared.

She was like a celestial being standing high in the clouds, and all things in the world were emerging, such as meteorites, otherworldly fires, the Great Thunder Temple, and Kunpeng. All kinds of scenery appeared, like nebulae turning and pressing towards the opponent.

"Pfft!" Gao Chan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His four-sided body was shattered, Mount Sumeru was broken, the Heavenly Demon was torn apart by a Kunpeng, his nine flying swords fell into the Great Thunderclap Temple, and the sound of the Yellow Bell and the Great Bell shattered his immortal realm.

Furthermore, Tang Yushang's long legs pierced through the night mist, and a delicate foot created golden ripples that continuously landed on his four-sided body. Gao Chan was sent flying. He had fought in his strongest form, using his four-sided body technique, yet he was still utterly defeated. Even though he hadn't used other sect-level scriptures, they were certainly no match for this woman.

"I actually wanted to ask you about someone." Tang Yushang, shrouded in ethereal mist, landed on the ground as her robes fluttered.

Gao Chan's expression turned slightly cold. Why engage in such a friendly exchange when it's just asking someone a question?
Instead of answering, he asked, "Who exactly are you, and where do you come from?"

"Tang Yushang comes from the distant Taixu region," the woman in the red dress announced gracefully.

"Taixu?!" Gao Chan was stunned, his expression suddenly changing.

He came from an extraordinary background, so he naturally knew many secrets.

Yujing has lingered in many places, its influence extending to a vast and boundless area.

Historically, the Jade Capital would occasionally descend to earth and merge with its projection on the ground.

This kind of place is generally called the land of the chosen ones!
Taixu is one of the chosen places!

He finally understood why he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this woman; he had indeed seen her portrait before. She was the most dazzling new star of the Taixu Holy Clan.

Even in the city in the sky, some people have commented that when the stars shine brightly in the sky, Tang Yushang might become the moon.

To be precise, she was just one of the candidates to become Mingyue.

Even so, it is still terrifying. Within the territory radiated by Yujing, stars shine brightly. Anyone who has the hope of becoming the moon is absolutely extraordinary and may even have the appearance of a celestial being.

As for becoming that dazzling, blazing sun, such a candidate is certainly not a creature from the ground.

Although Gao Chan was displeased, his expression remained calm. He sighed and said, "Fairy Tang, if you want to find someone, just tell me directly. Why go through all this trouble?"

He admitted that when he first saw the other person's appearance, his heart fluttered slightly, but now he was as calm as a sage, with no such thoughts at all.

"The person you are looking for may not be a man, but a woman. As far as I know, there are people who practice both paths and are skilled in various techniques. For example, a woman named Jiang Ran has mastered various spiritual fields."

He increased Tang Yushang's strength. Some time ago, when the Great Dream Mushroom was rampaging and Tucheng was blocked, he was defeated by Jiang Ran.

The other party used immortal techniques to evolve the "Eight Views Divine Illumination Scripture," imitating various spiritual fields with pure yang consciousness and spiritual light, which had previously suppressed him to the point of having no temper.

"There is another person who possesses the 'Subduing Heart Sutra,' which allows him to transform into countless forms, making his true appearance impossible to discern. He is also proficient in the 'Divine Cicada Sutra,' and can conjure various spiritual fields..."

Gao Chan then mentioned another person, who was suspected of having cultivated a Mind Monkey, whose strength was unfathomable, making him extremely wary.

"There is another person named Xiao Jinye. His grandfather, the Old Barbarian God, although not a celestial god, was still a Great Perfection Earth Immortal. His bloodline power is terrifying!"

……

Gao Chan named several names in succession, sincerely hoping that someone could teach Tang Yushang a lesson.

In fact, he is not petty.

He felt that he had been inexplicably injured today, and that he was somewhat like a chosen scapegoat.

"How can we find them?" After Tang Yushang beat Gao Chan up, most of the anger she felt from the argument had dissipated.

She was just a little unwilling. Last time, when she simulated Bai Meng's mental field and entered the Great Thunderclap Temple, she didn't unleash her true strength at all.

However, when she thought about how she had been kicked in the buttocks at the last moment and kicked out of the Great Thunderclap Temple, her calmed state of mind... flared up again.

"Just wait in Tu City. Sky City is about to open, and all the geniuses will rush there. In fact, even if you hadn't come from Taixu this time, you would have heard a divine decree soon."

……

Kunling, with Gao Chan looking slightly pale, arrived. He entered Shanhe Academy quite smoothly and soon discovered that his fiancée Su Moran and Qin Ming were traveling together.

He felt that even the study of the "Scripture of Living in the World" and the fact that his hair had turned as white as grass were insufficient to describe his feelings at that moment.

Normally, when Su Mo Ran was with him, her expression was never this gentle; she was always very proud.

However, she was smiling and chatting happily with a stranger right now.

Qin Ming had never heard of Sky City before, and Su Mo Ran was clearly trying to win him over.

"If Yujing recovers in the future, the potential of Xinsheng Road may be unlocked."

This secret surprised Qin Ming and really touched him.

Su Mo Ran said, "Of course, a truly gifted person, like the brilliant sun, might be able to unlock and break through the heavenly barrier, but it requires various harsh conditions, and the right time, place, and people are all indispensable."

Qin Ming already knew that Su Moran came from the city in the sky and had a very powerful family background.

In the distance, Li Qingyue and Jiang Ran used special weapons, with liquid weapons attached to their backs, and their divine senses increased dramatically, allowing them to intercept the conversation between the two.

"Your Daoist partner seems to be quite popular; even the noble ladies of Sky City admire him," Jiang Ran said with a smile.

Li Qingyue replied, "Didn't you say you were my Daoist partner?"

"Why are you here?" Su Moran saw Gao Chan and, in front of outsiders, still gave him face. Her expression was calm and she showed no arrogance.

However, Gao Chan felt that her gaze was somewhat sharp.

Su Mo Ran spoke again: "By the way, you are well-versed in the scriptures of those who cultivate the body on the Immortal Path, and you also study the methods of the Warriors. You should have collected the Sumeru Field and the Heavenly Demon Force Field, right? Qin Ming practices the Hunyuan Force. Although he can generate a similar spiritual field, he also wants to refer to those classics. He just borrowed them from me."

"!" Gao Chan almost lost his temper. He felt it was a waste of time to come here and wanted to turn around and leave immediately!

……

The news that Sky City was about to be born quickly caused an uproar in Night State, and the surrounding areas followed suit.

Even those Earth Immortal Daoist temples attach great importance to this matter, let alone other forces.
The area radiated by Yujing was far from peaceful.

Two weeks later, Wu Yaozu and Xiang Yiwu appeared.

Xiao Wu said, "Brother Ming, shall we go to Sky City? Let's take a ride in the sky and broaden our horizons. Registration has already started in Tu City!"

Xiang Yiwu said, "The founders of each path are digging a way to another world. It is said that this time they are serious and may be exploring the Land of Creation!"

They discussed carefully where they should go.

Qin Ming said, "Let's go to Tucheng first and see if we can manage both."

Two days later, Qin Ming, Li Qingyue, Jiang Ran, Xiao Wu and others headed towards Tucheng together.

Along the way, they saw many people, even geniuses who stood out in just one city, all of whom were attracted to try their luck and see if they were qualified to enter the city in the sky.

A voice on the road said in a deep voice, "Everyone, do you know why people from beyond the realm are rushing here like madmen? What they're really fighting for is the future Heavenly Immortal position!"

Some whispered, "Jade Capital... the chosen one!"
