Wen Qingye watched until Luu Fangliang’s figure had long vanished. Only then did he slowly avert his gaze, his body rushing swiftly in the direction of the Luo Family.
The Luo Family.
The disciples of the Celestial Profound Sect joked and chatted amongst themselves, a picture of cheerful camaraderie. Under the moonlit sky, the scene appeared serene and peaceful.
Yanm Chongwen roared with laughter. "Sister Xin, when you finally marry into our Chaotian Peak, all three hundred seventy-three of our Core Disciples will be sure to line the path to welcome you."
A blush crept onto Nangong Xin’s face. She chuckled softly. "That depends on whether I’m willing."
"Sister Xin, you’re blushing." Wangg Xin shook his head and grinned. "I’d say you’re quite willing."
Wul Hua, standing to the side, nodded emphatically and chimed in with a teasing smile, "Brother Chu’s strength is profound and unfathomable. He is righteous and just, with a heroic spirit second to none and astonishing talent. If Junior Sister Nangong isn’t willing, I’m sure the junior and senior sisters from the other peaks will make their move."
"Hmph." Tao Liuu, also nearby, let out a heavy, cold snort but said nothing.
Nangong Xin seemed to pay Tao Liuu’s snort no mind, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower. She was just about to speak when a clear shout echoed from the distance.
"Everyone, the Heart Inquiry Flower is about to release its seeds! Hurry and come collect them!"
Upon hearing Luo Shicheng’s words, everyone’s heart jolted, and they all rose to their feet.
........
In a clearing out back, the soil glowed with a turquoise hue, emitting a faint, captivatingly brilliant light under the moon.
In the midst of the turquoise soil grew a strange flower, exuding a surging vitality. It had six purplish-cyan petals, seemingly threaded through the center with a fine red line, and its stalk was as thick as two fingers.
From within the flower’s stamen, layer upon layer of purplish-cyan Primordial Qi rippled outward. At the very center of the stamen, three streaks of black light shone most brilliantly.
These were the Heart Inquiry Seeds!
A gentle breeze swept by, and as a delicate fragrance wafted past their noses, everyone felt their spirits stir.
Patriarch Qiann of the Qiann Family, Qiann Rong, frowned deeply. "Mr. Luo," he said, "why aren’t those disciples from the Celestial Profound Sect here yet? The Heart Inquiry Seeds are about to be released."
Luo Shicheng smiled. "I’ve already spoken to them. They’ll be here soon, don’t worry. Young prodigies are always a bit arrogant."
Although the others present were growing impatient, they simply nodded and said no more.
WHOOSH!
At that moment, the Heart Inquiry Flower began to sway frantically. Waves of Primordial Qi churned ceaselessly, sweeping out like ocean tides, one wave crashing over the next.
"It’s releasing the seeds!"
Luo Shicheng bellowed. Startled, the crowd stared at the Heart Inquiry Flower before them, not daring to blink.
The Primordial Qi pulsing from the Heart Inquiry Flower grew increasingly dense. Its petals slowly curled inward, wrapping and entwining around the center in a process strangely reminiscent of a woman in labor.
WHOOSH!
The next moment!
Three streaks of black light shot out in all directions. They were the seeds of the Heart Inquiry Flower, brimming with exuberant vitality as they sped away.
"Brother Zou, Brother Qiann, let’s grab the Heart Inquiry Seeds!" Luo Shicheng shouted, darting swiftly toward a seed floating in the air to his left.
Hearing Luo Shicheng, Zou Lin and Qiann Rong also flew toward the Heart Inquiry Seeds.
Luo Shicheng saw the Heart Inquiry Seed right before him, and joy surged in his heart. He reached out his hand to grab it.
"Hands off!"
Suddenly, a sharp command rang out from nearby.
Luo Shicheng immediately sensed danger. He abandoned the Heart Inquiry Seed and retreated swiftly.
"Zhou Wei of the Flowing Cloud Sect is here!"
"Hahaha, Xu Houcai of the Ancient Night Country has arrived! The Heart Inquiry Seed is mine!"
THUD! THUD!
As Luo Shicheng flew backward, he heard two loud thuds from behind. ’Zhou Wei and Xu Houcai are both masters of the Ninth Heaven of the Yin-Yang Realm,’ he thought. ’They’re geniuses from various countries and sects, here to seize opportunities at the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele. Their strength is profound, immeasurable—not something people like us can compare to.’ A chill ran through his heart at the realization.
The moment he regained his footing, two figures crashed heavily to the ground, gouging a pit in the earth. It was Qiann Rong and Zou Lin.
"Bai Chen of the Asura Sect!"
A man dressed in robes as red as blood stood high in the sky, gazing down upon the crowd. A Heart Inquiry Seed floated in the palm of his hand.
"Bai Chen of the Asura Sect?"
Everyone in the surrounding crowd was startled to hear that name. All three intruders were rare masters within the Yin-Yang Realm, each with a cultivation at the Ninth Heaven. They were renowned young prodigies, and no one had expected all of them to appear here today.
"Bai Chen? I’ve been waiting for a chance to meet you. Yanm Chongwen of the Celestial Profound Sect’s Chaotian Peak is here!"
At this time, the rest of the Celestial Profound Sect disciples arrived. Seeing Bai Chen, Yanm Chongwen let out a great shout and shot forward to meet him.
Bai Chen’s expression was unchanged. "The Celestial Profound Sect? My Asura Sect has no fear of you."
BOOM!
As he spoke, an earth-shattering explosion of Primordial Qi resounded through the sky. The two fighters’ bodies were gradually swallowed by the roiling energy, and only the continuous, deafening blasts that echoed out told the onlookers of the ferocity of their clash.
"If you want the Heart Inquiry Seed, you’ll have to get through me, Tao Liuu!" Tao Liuu roared, charging toward Zhou Wei of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Tao Liuu’s body was like a beast from the Primordial Chaos. A savage aura erupted from him, stirring the surrounding Primordial Qi as he charged ferociously at Zhou Wei.
"Vast Qi in All Directions!"
With a thunderous shout, Tao Liuu leaped into the air and threw a punch at Zhou Wei.
Seeing Tao Liuu charge at him, Zhou Wei laughed heartily. A cyan ruler materialized in his hand, looking quite unassuming in the dark of night.
"Flowing Clouds Infinite!"
The cyan ruler flashed with a plain, unadorned light, surrounded by layers of cyan mist. This mist was a hallmark of the Flowing Cloud Sect’s Cultivation Techniques; to underestimate it was to court disaster.
BOOM!
Tao Liuu’s fist slammed heavily against the cyan ruler. In an instant, Primordial Qi surged, transforming into rolling shockwaves that spread into the distance.
The onlookers saw Tao Liuu stumble back four steps, huge cracks spiderwebbing across the ground beneath his feet.
"Again!" Tao Liuu hadn’t expected to be suppressed in a single move. Enraged, he charged forward once more.
This time, the Primordial Qi Tao Liuu gathered was even denser, and his attack was even more ferocious.
At that moment, Wul Hua drew himself up. His Three-foot Cyan Peak sang from its sheath as he fixed a cold gaze on Xu Houcai of the Ancient Night Country and laughed. "Leave the last one to me."
Nangong Xin, Wangg Xin, and the others nodded. Although Wul Hua was from Danxuan Peak, his cultivation was undeniably outstanding among their group.
In an instant, the once-peaceful scene descended into unpredictable chaos.
