The Peerless Emperor

The South Meeting can be regarded as a grand event in this region.

Both the Sea Clan of the Southern Sea Domain and the forces of the Human Clan from the coastal areas of the Southern Domain sent a hundred participants each to partake in this grand feast.

Just by the scope of the ancient ruins around, it was clear that the status of this Ancient Sect of the Human Clan was by no means low; in the past, it was probably the dominating power of its region.

Therefore, the various powers were extremely anticipatory about what they might obtain from the ruins of this Small World.

The elders leading the teams had very straightforward demands for their young talents.

They were to survive and bring back enough wealth to contribute to their Sects, while also retaining at least half of the wealth for themselves.

For the Eight-Armed Sea Clan, the items obtained within the ruins also needed to be turned in, but there was an exception for Lin Qian and Ye Xin.

To repay Lin Qian for the significant aid he had provided to Zhang Zide, Zhang Tianxin stated that whatever Lin Qian and Ye Xin obtained within the ruins would be entirely their own.

When Zhang Tianxin mentioned this, Zhou Yian had no objections, and he actually quite agreed with the former’s suggestion.

It could be said that Lin Qian could fully benefit from the quota to enter the ruins provided by the South Meeting.

Zhang Tianxin and Zhou Yian were so charitable, and, of course, Lin Qian would not refuse; he gladly accepted.

A month passed swiftly, and those of the Eight-Armed Sea Clan and the Carefree Sect who had been injured initially had almost recovered from their wounds.

The South Meeting was starting in full swing today, and everyone had already arrived early around the portal.

The portal to the Small World was incredibly large, with an arch-like structure nearly dozens of feet high, engraved with intricate runes, and streaks of Array patterns wrapped around the architecture of the portal. Explore stories at NovelBin.Côm

It was more than enough for all the young elites present to enter the portal simultaneously.

The pale white light in the center was quietly rotating; one would travel to that mysterious Small World upon passing through it.

Even the many powerful beings present could not peer into the Small World!

Whether the unknown Small World was a perilous Dead Land or a place brimming with opportune treasures, it was especially unpredictable.

However, the young talents behind each of those mighty beings, as they looked at the portal, showed no hints of fear or anxiety in their eyes, but instead, excitement shone forth.

After all, they were true geniuses, and faced with such an unknown realm, what they harbored was merely a mindset of challenge and conquest.

But the one with the strongest desire to conquer was none other than Lin Qian!

This Small World was now surely a land with no master; how good it would be if it could be annexed into the territory of the Huaxia Empire?

More land would mean more resources, and then the Huaxia Empire would become even stronger!

For someone like Lin Qian, obsessed with cultivation, even a slight increase in the strength of the Huaxia Empire was cause for ecstatic celebration.

"An unclaimed Small World, must be taken down, must be taken down!" Staring at the twisting white portal entrance, Lin Qian murmured softly, his eyes revealing a hint of fervor.

Then, the talented individuals from all sides began to approach the direction of the portal, while those unrelated retreated simultaneously, forming two distinctly separate circular groups of people.

Meanwhile, the powerful beings from the various leading factions took to the skies, watching over the young talents below.

"Activate!"

At that moment, among the Array Masters stationed in front of the portal to the Small World, an elderly Human Clan member loudly called out and pointed towards the portal.

It wasn’t just him; the other Human Clan Array Masters also pointed with one finger, squeezing out a drop of blood from their fingertips, breaking through the resistance of the sea, rushing towards the structure above the portal, and entering it.

Subsequently, the white vortex of the portal began to spin wildly, a strong repulsion force came through, and the surrounding sea water was instantly pushed away.

In an instant, the space around the entire portal was devoid of a single drop of sea water.

The Human Clan members all deactivated their water-repelling methods, and Lin Qian, Ye Xin, and Li Yunfeng also removed their water-breathing Soul Devices.

As for the Sea Clan members, they just frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Remember, we can only maintain the portal for one year; if you don’t come out within that time frame, then you will have to be trapped inside for a full ten years, waiting for the next opening to escape," warned the Array Master elder who had successfully activated the Small World portal, advising the numerous talents.

"If you’re seriously injured, approach the exit as soon as possible and leave early. Don’t be stubborn."

"As it approaches a year, try to be near the exit in advance; don’t rush over in the last few days. This portal is not as stable as you imagine; it might close a few days later or even half a month earlier than expected, so it’s best to be careful."

"Once the portal opens, there’s only one hour’s time to get in; after an hour, the portal will be exit-only."

"Once you choose to leave early, that will mean your trip to the South Meeting has come to an end, and you won’t be able to enter again."

"Young ones, I hope you all have good luck in this Small World."

Having said that, the leading Array Master pushed both palms to the sides, the runes and inscriptions on the portal suddenly brightened intensely, and the pale white vortex abruptly stopped spinning, shining even brighter, and exerting a pulling force.

"Go ahead!"

As soon as the old man’s voice fell, there were already young talents from both the Sea Clan and Human Clan rushing towards that pale white light.

As they were enveloped by the white light, they vanished from everyone’s sight.

Lin Qian also took Ye Xin’s hand and leaped towards the white light.

When the white light shrouded his body, his vision was completely replaced by the white glow.

In Zhou Yian’s worried eyes, Lin Qian and Ye Xin’s figures completely disappeared into the white light.

"You people are quite amusing, actually sending two from the Sky Breaking Realm to participate in the South Meeting, wasting two slots like that." At the same time, a voice came from the side, causing Zhou Yian and Zhang Tianxin to look over involuntarily.

The man who spoke was a middle-aged man with a mustache and eyes sharp as blades, causing a piercing sensation at a glance. Standing with his hands behind his back, he quietly hovered in the space that was devoid of sea water.

The man was dressed in dark robes with silver edges and had a simple Jade Pendant hanging at his waist; his long hair cascaded behind him, and his presence carried an overwhelming oppressive force.

"Wasting two slots? Yang Guixiang, don’t you feel that young man in the Sky Breaking Realm has some resemblance to a certain person?" Seeing the man who spoke out, Zhou Yian laughed derisively, "Old friend, you’ve always prided yourself on being accurate in judging people, never wrong. Can you really not see it now?"

Yang Guixiang’s pupils suddenly turned blood-red as he rushed to Zhou Yian’s side, grabbing his collar, and transmitted with Soul Consciousness, "That young man, what is his connection to the benefactor?"
