Chapter 641: Chapter 37 Dao-asking Conference_2

Shenxiu Peak was no different.

Seeing Xi Wushang’s indifferent appearance, Liang Zhongkang was struck by curiosity and asked,

“Uncle Master, will you participate in the Dao-asking Conference this time?”

Xi Wushang responded with a helpless smile,

“I had to, there was no other option. Among our Chunyuan Peak, I am the only one with a Golden Core. If I don’t participate, it’s impossible.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhongkang playfully exclaimed, “Uncle Master, you are too modest. The other uncles are far less amazing than you… Do you think you can get the first place this time?”

“First place?”

At this, Xi Wushang paused, only to break into a smile once again,

“How can we talk about first or second without a fight? Also, there are many strong cultivators among our sect, not to mention that the battle locations will change unpredictably. Too much remains uncertain, so no one can claim the first place.”

Unsatisfied with this response, Liang Zhongkang decided to try another angle, “Then who do you think would be your biggest rivals?”

Xi Wushang didn’t really want to answer.

But seeing Liang Zhongkang full of curiosity, he thoughtfully responded,

“The Soul Capturing Wind’s Zhu Bai, who follows the Dao of Soul, is not to be overlooked. Cameras from Thick Earth Peak and Squirrels from Qingmu Peak, as well as Lu Yu of Xinjian Peak, Dong Rang of Tianji Peak, and Shu Cheng of your Shenxiu Peak. And Li Wuji of Shenti Peak, it’s a pity he has gone on a mission, or else he would also be a formidable opponent.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhongkang was left speechless.

The people he mentioned were no different from saying nothing because Liang Zhongkang already knew they were among the top Golden Core cultivators publicly recognized in their sect.

“So, you’re just stonewalling me! Don’t think I don’t know because I don’t often leave Shenxiu Peak,” he angrily retorted.

This time, Xi Wushang could not help but burst into laughter,

“Alright, enough idle banter. I have to go find Master Brother and prepare properly. I have to bring back the first prize!”

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhongkang nodded enthusiastically.

Ambition filled his eyes.

“Wanfa Peak?”

“Others may fear you, but I anticipate your arrival!”

…

Meanwhile…

On Tianji Peak…

A young maiden with all-white eyes, basking in lightning, slowly gathered the thunder light around her body and descended from a towering peak surrounded by thunder pools.

Next to her, an elderly man with a unibrow chuckled warmly,

“Well done. You’ve more than mastered the Dragon-Tiger Yuankan Method. Currently, among the Foundation Establishment Competitors in our sect, you should be the strongest.”

The maiden quiets the streams of light around her, and her eyes gradually returned to normal.

However, upon hearing the old man’s words, she showed signs of concern,

“Master, didn’t you say that the disciple from Wanfa Peak would most likely participate as well? Can I…really do it?”

The unibrowed old man just smiled confidently,

“What’s there to be afraid of? The Dharma Lineage of Wanfa is indeed powerful, but the boy has just started a few years ago, I doubt he has even grasped the Five Elements. He poses no threat. Especially since he didn’t come to our peak to learn the Dao of Thunder, this means he hasn’t incorporated the Dao of Thunder into his Dharma Lineage, he will not be your rival. However, you should seize this opportunity. If you meet him, you must do your best to defeat him, otherwise…you may not get this chance in the future.”

The young girl, who was initially a little nervous and worried, suddenly showed a hint of resentment,

“Master, don’t you think that you are inflating others and undermining yourself?”

At her words, the unibrowed old man just shook his head slowly, not bothering to explain further.

Seeing the old man’s reaction, the young maiden felt determined.

Fire Cloud Peak.

“Remember, you must defeat Wang Ba from Wanfa Peak this time,” Chi Liequan told his disciples on Fire Cloud Peak.

“Whoever meets him and wins, I will reward them with three thousand merits!”

“Yes!”

Beneath them, eager voices rang out.

And among the crowd, Tang Yun who was dressed in a red robe, his eyes filled with anticipation,

“I have waited for this opportunity…for quite a while!”

Such scenes were also unfolding in various peaks across the Wanxiang Sect.

…

Two days later.

The Dao-asking Conference commenced as scheduled.

The venue was set up in an open space carved out between the Four Phases mountains.

Even though the Wanxiang Sect was always bustling with cultivators, the sky on this day was especially dazzling with countless streams of light.

Even though it was daytime, brilliant fireworks occasionally burst in the sky.

The air was immersed with a festive atmosphere that was rare in the Cultivation World

Many cultivators greeted each other with smiles, even if they weren’t acquainted.

Wang Ba stood atop Wanfa Peak.

His Spiritual Sense swept over the joyful expressions on the faces of the various cultivators, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of dislocation.

He had not felt this festive atmosphere in four to five decades.

The last time he felt this way was when he was still a mortal.

But at the time, he was too focused on finding the Dao and becoming an immortal to appreciate such feelings.

The casual remark of a mortal, upon recollection, seemed inexplicably appropriate.

Wang Ba sighed.

Seeing that Bu Chan’s stomach showed no signs of movement, he decided to take her to the bustling Shaoyin Mountain.

After all, he was not participating in the competitions, so there was no harm done.

There were cultivators going back and forth, creating an energetic atmosphere.

Many cultivators from different peaks who rarely showed their faces also made an appearance. It was the first time Wang Ba realised there were so many cultivators in the sect.

Seeing Wang Ba and Bu Chan, who had a very evident pregnancy, the cultivators all politely stepped aside and responded with a friendly smile.
