Fairy, I am truly a virtuous gentleman!

Ning Yuan didn't have much of an impression of Ji Daoyun.

In the present day of the Great Li Dynasty, if we were to discuss which direct descendant of the royal family is most worthy of praise.

That person was neither the current crown prince nor any prince, but Princess Liuli, the youngest offspring of the Great Li Holy Emperor.

It is said that her birth was a continuation of the destiny of the Great Li Immortal Dynasty, because when she first saw this vast world, her clear and transparent baby cry caused a celestial phenomenon!

As dusk fell, the already thinning sun seemed to remain suspended in the sky, no longer setting.

In the distant sky, colorful clouds formed, covering half of Luoyang.

The thick clouds rolled and changed shape, but they did not block the sun's rays.

Instead, the colors were refracted into dazzling rainbow hues, illuminating the magnificent palace and making the world seem like a fairyland.

The Emperor was overjoyed and, with a wave of his hand, named her Daoyun, meaning that she was exceptionally talented, reached the pinnacle of excellence, and was noble and outstanding.

Moreover, ordinary members of the Ji clan often had to wait until they reached adulthood or made significant contributions before they could receive a title.

But Ji Daoyun was different; she was born with a title, which is now widely known as Princess Liuli.

Afterwards, seemingly to verify the saying about this woman's luck, since Princess Liuli's birth, the Great Li Immortal Dynasty has enjoyed favorable weather and harmonious relations between people and the divine.

Beyond the borders, they repeatedly achieved victories on the battlefields beyond the heavens, expanding the territory of Dali and even the entire Daxuantian.

The Holy Emperor of Dali was overjoyed.

Princess Liuli was stunningly beautiful from a young age, and coupled with her mysterious aura, she had countless suitors.

Not only do they have direct heirs from cultivation forces of equal status to Dali, but they also have true disciples from sacred immortal sects.

However, none of these people succeeded; they all failed.

It is widely believed that Ji Daoyun has extremely high standards, and only geniuses with the potential to become Dao Venerables can enter her ranks.

In short, although Ning Yuan and he were both prominent figures in the Great Li Immortal Dynasty, they had never interacted.

They were occasionally mentioned together, but only as two juniors who could freely ride spirit beasts in the Great Xuan Heaven; there was no further connection between them.

Ji Daoyun's fate seemed to end with her death during the impending destruction of the Great Li Dynasty thirty years later, and there was no further development.

Therefore, Ning Yuan had little interest in this Princess Liuli.

A stunningly beautiful fairy? A princess of a celestial dynasty?

It's not even worth a single hair from the remnant soul of an immortal.

Why bring up this woman all of a sudden?

Ning Yuan asked casually.

Qiao Shuang hesitated for a moment, finally regaining her senses from the boy's caresses, and immediately said honestly, "After Xiao Lingjiang's accident, my master and I discussed it again, intending to find a suitable marriage for you, young master, and then... my master mentioned Princess Liuli's name."

"………Um?"

...

...

A vast expanse of blue sky, without a trace of cloud; deep within the heavens, the Milky Way stretches wide.

At this moment, a shocking scene is unfolding within the inner city of Luodu.

A majestic and towering sacred mountain floats high in the sky, its spiritual energy surging like waves, spreading in all directions.

It is like a giant island in the sky, stretching across the ages, blocking out the sun and clouds. It is hard to imagine what terrible disaster it would bring if it were to descend to earth and fall to the ground.

At this moment, the entire sacred mountain was radiating a soft golden light, like a volcano that had cooled down, its light becoming increasingly dim. The towering pillar of light from before seemed to have originated from this mountain.

As the view rises, arriving at the summit of Mount Ling leaves one speechless with astonishment.

Nearly a hundred magnificent palaces stood tall, reaching for the clouds and the sun, connected to each other and stretching for an unknown distance.

It is as large as a city, with pavilions, waterside terraces, gardens, rockeries, warm buildings, boundless blue lakes, and jade squares, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, its mountain architecture is interconnected, with talismans and secret inscriptions flowing across its surface. It is engraved with thousands of restrictions, making it difficult for even the magical attacks of ordinary primordial spirit lords to leave a mark.

This sacred mountain appears to be enormous and immeasurable, but in reality, it is a magical treasure belonging to Chang Hong, the current crown prince of the Great Li Immortal Dynasty.

The Primordial Dao Artifact, the Five Sacred Mountains.

Legend has it that the Five Sacred Mountains were created when Ji Changhong was born. His elders in the Ji royal family used great methods to collect a section of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, and refined it day and night for more than ten years. Finally, when Ji Changhong came of age and was made crown prince, it was bestowed upon him.

Its original form was hundreds or thousands of times larger than it is now!

The very top of Mount Wuyue.

A nine-story platform stood tall, surrounded by three thousand solemn-looking, silver-armored, burly, and composed Taoist soldiers.

They knelt on one knee at the center of the platform, heads bowed in obedience, radiating outwards.

On the high platform, there was a jade table, and a handsome middle-aged man with a long beard and an elegant and gentle demeanor sat in the center.

He was dressed in a purple jade robe, with birds, fish and beasts swimming around his body. He wore a lotus crown and a seven-colored belt. He exuded an indescribable aura of majesty. Although he did not make many movements, his noble air was overwhelming.

This man is none other than Ji Changhong, the Crown Prince of the Great Li Immortal Dynasty!

He slightly opened his eyes, and a divine light shot out from them.

Ji Changhong said calmly, "The auspicious time has arrived. The grand gathering of all laws shall begin."

His voice was very soft, yet it seemed to possess a magical power, without weakening in the slightest, and it resounded throughout countless palaces and buildings.

In an instant, a burst of light appeared, and many figures leaped out, hovering in the air and casting their gazes in the direction of the light.

After he finished speaking, the three thousand soldiers below the platform immediately shouted, their silver armor gleaming, and rushed towards Ji Changhong.

Although Prince Changhong of Dali has been a True Lord of the Primordial Spirit for a long time, he is still some distance away from the Dao Lord realm.

To perfectly control the Five Sacred Mountains with his magical cultivation, he would need the help of Dao soldiers.

Many of those attending the ceremony had doubts.

In previous years, the Wanfa Grand Gathering was hosted by renowned immortals such as the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers of the Great Li Immortal Dynasty. Why is this year different?

Not only that, even the Holy Emperor of Dali did not show up. Among the people of Dali with the highest status present, only Crown Prince Ji Changhong was present.

Could it be that something unexpected will happen this year?

Some perceptive individuals sensed something was amiss, but everyone remained largely unconcerned.

After all, this place is the capital of Dali, a vital area within the inner city of Luodu. The renowned Grand Preceptor of Dali is meditating here, and he will surely ensure the safety of all the candidates and guests.

With this thought in mind, a bolt from the blue suddenly struck!

Ji Changhong's brow twitched, his gaze swept coldly across the room, and his spiritual light abruptly vanished.

"Hmph, so you're here...?"

The light of day suddenly dimmed, and rolling thunder roared incessantly, like a violent storm sweeping in from the horizon.

A sense of oppression enveloped the hearts of countless people.

They were horrified that someone actually dared to make a move!

Buzz one one

A clear and high-pitched sword cry seemed to ring out in everyone's ears, as if it were short and urgent, yet also as long and lingering.

The entire world was in an uproar, with countless spiritual energies surging like a tidal wave, stirred up by a mysterious force from the west.

A moment later, a grand voice, seemingly from a god, resounded.

"Ning Muxian, I am Yu Shu from the Taiyi Sword Sect. I have heard that you fought against several Dao Venerables from various immortal sects, including our sect's elders, and emerged unscathed, earning you the title of the number one Pure Yang in the Great Xuan Heaven. I was unable to spare the time during my previous seclusion, so I have come today to seek your guidance!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.

Yu Shu Dao Zun is the current leader of the Taiyi Sword Sect and a legend of the Great Xuantian!

The Taiyi Sword Sect, as the orthodox lineage of the Great Xuantian Immortal Path and one of the thirteen holy lands, is a renowned sect throughout the entire universe.

It existed even before the ancient Heavenly Court collapsed, so it has a long history and unfathomable depth.

The current leader of the Sword Sect is not only a highly accomplished Pure Yang Daoist, but also a renowned Sword Dao Supreme.

Sword cultivators value killing and warfare.

Yu Shu Dao Zun possessed overwhelming killing power, and his battle record was nothing short of terrifying.

The Taiyi Sword Sect is a powerful force, and its Dao lineage has even spread to other heavens.

This Jade Venerable once single-handedly guarded a certain outer heaven that had been invaded by extraterrestrial demons for his sect, slaying countless demons and leaving corpses floating for thousands of miles, turning that area of ​​the cosmic void into a demonic forbidden zone.

At that time, he was only at the Nascent Soul stage!

To this day, Yu Shu Dao Zun has become one of the most powerful figures in the entire world.
