Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 405: Chapter 401: The Convergence of Prodigies

The Ancient Forbidden Land was located in the center of the Six Provinces.

The entire Ancient Forbidden Land was incredibly vast, comparable in size to a great province.

At this very moment, countless figures had gathered within the Ancient Forbidden Land—tens of thousands of them, all drawn by curiosity over the sudden eruption of dense fog.

”I really want to know what happened in there.”

”Too bad the Seven Great Super Sects have sealed it off. Forget us, not even a fly could get in.”

”Looking at the formation these Super Sects have set up, whatever happened inside must be a huge deal.”

Countless Martial Artists chattered amongst themselves.

From where they stood, they could see powerful figures in all directions. They stood around the dense fog, and the Super Sect attire they wore kept the crowds from daring to cross the line.

In the Six Eastern Provinces, the Super Sects were the Sovereigns and could not be offended. The Seven Great Super Sects joining forces to seal off this area was an unprecedented show of power. Faced with such a display, even the most arrogant person would have to back down and show respect.

SKREEE—

A clear, resonant crane’s cry suddenly echoed from the distant horizon, instantly drawing the gazes of everyone present.

In the distance, they saw a giant, snow-white crane. Its entire body radiated a billowing cold aura. As it flapped its massive wings, ice and snow swirled around it. It flew swiftly toward the Ancient Forbidden Land, its crystalline feathers reflecting a dazzling light under the sun.

”Is that a Cold Ice Spirit Crane? Isn’t that a mount exclusive to the Snow God Hall?”

Cries of surprise immediately rang out.

The Cold Ice Spirit Crane was enormous. With its wings spread, it was like a great mountain. For a moment, everyone’s gaze unanimously focused on its back.

On the giant spirit crane’s back stood ten young men and women. The men were handsome, and the women were beautiful.

Among them, the woman in the lead was especially stunning.

She was a captivating figure in a flowing white dress. Her posture was tall and elegant, and even from a distance, she exuded an unconcealable noble air. Her cheeks were slightly slender, framing a perfect, oval face. Paired with her snow-white, jewel-like eyes, she appeared both beautiful and holy.

The only minor flaw was a cold indifference mixed with her sanctity, which gave off an unapproachable feeling.

But as the saying goes, a flaw in the jade only highlights its preciousness. That touch of coldness did not detract from her charm; in fact, such an aura only made men want to conquer her.

”Yan Qingxue, the most outstanding disciple of this generation from the Snow God Hall,” people murmured, identifying her.

Many of the younger men, especially, looked at her with adoration in their eyes.

In both talent and beauty, Yan Qingxue was a Top Level figure in the Six Eastern Provinces. Such an unparalleled beauty naturally commanded immense popularity throughout the region.

Countless men dreamed of winning her favor.

But many understood that a woman like Yan Qingxue was not someone just anyone could approach. She was like a spirit crane soaring high in the sky, far above them all, while ordinary Martial Artists could only gaze from afar.

”So that’s Yan Qingxue? She’s just as the rumors say: an Ice-Skinned Jade Bone, a heavenly beauty.”

Lan Nongyu exclaimed in amazement from within the crowd.

This incident had alarmed the entire Six Eastern Provinces, and she had come here with the Sect Leader of the Mountain and Sea Sect.

The moment she saw Yan Qingxue, even she couldn’t help but feel a sense of inadequacy.

”I heard the Saintess of the Moon God Palace possesses a world-shocking beauty that can captivate all living things. I wonder if she’ll come?” Lan Nongyu murmured.

The arrival of the Snow God Hall was only the beginning.

Next, the younger generation from the various Super Sects made their appearances one after another, causing the entire area to erupt in excitement.

Some were heroic and extraordinary, some were forbiddingly cold, and others were as fiery and beautiful as a flame.

”Is that Xia Tianyu from the Primordial Sect? He looks lean—not like he has three heads and six arms or anything—but I heard his Primordial Giant Spirit Body has already reached Great Success. His Power is so immense he can even suppress a Flood Dragon.”

”Zhi Tianhou from Heaven-Burning Valley is here too! I heard that when he was born, a celestial phenomenon occurred: a Celestial Fire descended and merged into his body. That’s why he’s had an affinity for all kinds of Flames since birth. I wonder if that’s true.”

”Is that guy with the black and white hair Duan Wudao from the Moon God Palace? He looks so clean-cut, but they say he’s ruthless. No one who fights him survives, and he’s even earned the nickname ’Black and White Impermanence.’”

Xia Tianyu was dressed in plain cloth, his feet bare and his wild hair unbound. He just stood there calmly, yet he gave people the feeling of facing a Primordial Giant Beast.

Zhi Tianhou arrived on a massive Fire Ship that sailed through the sky. He stood at the prow with his hands behind his back, his long red hair burning like a Flame, his eyes like torches, his presence deeply majestic.

Duan Wudao’s half-black, half-white hair was unforgettable at a glance. As he stood there, what people found eerie was that they couldn’t sense his aura at all, as if he didn’t even exist.

These individuals were the most outstanding disciples of their respective Sects, ranking first among the current younger generation.

”Shouldn’t Wuliang Palace, the Void Sect, and the Celestial Sword Sect be arriving soon?”

People chattered, their eyes glancing up at the sky from time to time.

After the arrival of Yan Qingxue, Xia Tianyu, Zhi Tianhou, Duan Wudao, and the others, the prodigies from the other Major Sects began to make their appearances.

The Void Sect and Wuliang Palace arrived at almost the same time.

The members of the Void Sect all wore moon-white Daoist robes and had powerful auras. Their leader was the Void Sect’s chief disciple, Xu Yuanfeng. He had red lips and white teeth and wasn’t particularly tall, but he stood with incredible tranquility, like a pool of calm autumn water.

Leading Wuliang Palace was a man named Jing Fanzheng. He was tall and slender, his hair bound by a silver coronet. His handsome face seemed as if carved by a blade, with sharp, distinct features. Beneath his sword-like brows, his dark eyes gave off an exceptionally dangerous feeling.

”The Void Sect’s Void Scripture is unrivaled. It’s said that those who practice this Cultivation Technique have Dantian Spiritual Qi that is several times denser than others’. Furthermore, in the later stages, they can condense Void True Qi. Once unleashed, this Void True Qi has unimaginable power.”

”Wuliang Palace is no simple matter either. They cultivate the Infinite Scripture and master the Power of True Words. They can kill with but a single utterance.”

”The top three prodigies from each of these Super Sects all have an Immortal Realm Cultivation. I hear their combat strength is so great they can even match Earth Martial Realm experts. It’s terrifying.”

”And it’s said that the ones ranked number one, like Yan Qingxue and Xia Tianyu, can even defeat an Earth Martial Realm expert!”

”They’re from Super Sects, after all. They receive personal guidance from Kings and have obtained their true teachings. Compared to them, someone like the Thunder Spirit Body from the Extreme Heaven Sect still falls far short.”

”I wonder how that Ning Jiang compares to them?”

At the mention of Ning Jiang, a strange look appeared in many people’s eyes.

The strength of Yun Dingtian, the Thunder Spirit Body, was enough to rank in the top five, or even top three, within the Super Sects. The fact that Ning Jiang could defeat him meant he, too, was a Top Level prodigy.

”They are certainly prodigies, but don’t forget the one who has always stood above them all. *He* is the truly terrifying one!”

At these words, the crowd fell silent.

The Sword King Body, Ling Tianxu!
