2550 Gathering of Immortals



Divine Firmament Palace was built against a mountain and there were many halls. They were constructed against the rising and falling landscapes of the mountain range in a majestic manner.

Everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy was teleported outside Divine Firmament Palace. Many disciples looked up at the Divine Firmament Palace not far away and were shocked.

Before the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet began, a large number of cultivators were already gathered at the foot of Divine Firmament Palace.

They came from all parts of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. In fact, there were even some cultivators from other Immortal Domains. It was extremely crowded and lively.

"Look, cultivators of Heaven and Earth Academy have arrived!"

The descent of hundreds of thousands of disciples from Heaven and Earth Academy was massive and attracted the attention of countless cultivators.

"Which of them is the Rank 3 of the Heaven Ranking Prediction, Su Zimo?"

"The one in the second row wearing green robes with refined features."

"He looks like a frail scholar. To think that he's so strong that he can fight against six experts on the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction!"

Almost all the cultivators of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain had heard of Su Zimo, but not many had seen him before.

"The woman leading Heaven and Earth Academy is so beautiful!"

Someone muttered to himself with a dazed expression.

"That's Painting Immortal Mo Qing, one of the four great fairies!"

"Heavens, the Painting Immortal is here too!"

Some of the cultivators who were initially discussing Su Zimo shifted their attention the moment they heard the name of the Painting Immortal.

Instantly, Painting Immortal Mo Qing became the center of attention in Divine Firmament Palace and attracted countless gazes!

Compared to Su Zimo who was Rank 3 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, Painting Immortal Mo Qing was much more famous.

Furthermore, Painting Immortal Mo Qing was the most low-key and mysterious among the four great fairies and had never participated in such a grand event before.

Now that she had appeared, countless cultivators were delighted and their eyes lit up.

"Why is Fairy Mo Qing suddenly here at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet?"

"You don't know yet, right? I heard that Fairy Mo Qing is very close to Su Zimo."

"It must be a rumor. Previously, people said that there was something between Fairy Mo Qing and Yang Ruoxu. That turned out to be a lie as well."

"The rumors of Fairy Mo Qing and Su Zimo are not baseless. All these years, the few times Fairy Mo Qing appeared in public was because of Su Zimo."

Many busybodies whispered excitedly.

Naturally, such discussions could not be hidden from Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Painting Immortal Mo Qing and the others.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua glanced at Painting Immortal Mo Qing from the corner of his eye. The latter had a calm expression, as though she was not bothered by the rumors.

A dark look flashed through the depths of Sword Immortal Yue Hua's eyes and he became even more resolute!

"Fellow Daoists of Heaven and Earth Academy, thank you for the wait."

Right then, a woman sped over from not far away with the badge of Divine Firmament Palace hanging on her waist. In the blink of an eye, she arrived and said, "I'm Divine Crane. Divine Firmament Palace has long prepared a place for you guys to stay. Please follow me."

Su Zimo was slightly stunned when he saw Fairy Divine Crane.

This woman seemed to be one of the six people in the skies above the Asura Battlefield back then.

"So, it's you, Fairy Divine Crane. How have you been?"

Sword Immortal Yue Hua cupped his fists towards Fairy Divine Crane and greeted.

Fairy Divine Crane nodded and smiled at Sword Immortal Yue Hua.

The two of them had only met once and did not have much of a relationship. How could he be interested in how she had been? Of course, she knew that it was merely pleasantries and did not take it to heart.

Her attention was focused on another person from Heaven and Earth Academy!

However, Sword Immortal Yue Hua did not notice and asked again, "I heard that you were involved in the evaluation of the Heaven Ranking Prediction this time round, Fairy Divine Crane?"

Fairy Divine Crane was a Perfected Immortal of Divine Firmament Palace after all. It would not be a bad thing if he could get to know her.

Fairy Divine Crane did not seem to have heard anything. As she walked in front, she turned back and looked at Su Zimo who was behind Sword Immortal Yue Hua with a faint smile. "You've seen me before, right?"

Su Zimo hesitated for a moment and did not hide anything. He nodded and said, "Yes, from afar in the Asura Battlefield. However, I didn't get a clear look."

"That's already very impressive."

Fairy Divine Crane smiled. "I thought highly of you before you even came out of the bottom of the lake. Later on, as expected…"

"You're already a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal? What a fast cultivation speed!"

The two of them had actually started chatting merrily, casting Sword Immortal Yue Hua to the side completely.

With many fellow sect mates of the academy present, Sword Immortal Yue Hua could not help but feel frustrated when he was ignored. His expression darkened slightly.

'You won't be able to live for long anyway!'

Sword Immortal Yue Hua sneered internally.

Before long, the disciples of Heaven and Earth Academy entered Divine Firmament Palace and disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

"Of the four great fairies, the Zither and Painting Immortals are here. I wonder if we'll get the chance to see the other two, the Book and Chess Immortals."

"The Book Immortal might come. After all, Yun Ting is the younger brother of Book Immortal Yun Zhu."

"If the four great fairies are truly gathered, it will be an unprecedented grand occasion in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!"

The four great fairies had long been renowned throughout the Heavenly World. However, in reality, the four of them had never appeared in the same place.

…

The disciples of Heaven and Earth Academy arrived at the residence arranged by Divine Firmament Palace. Many of them left excitedly and explored the place.

Painting Immortal Mo Qing loved silence and did not walk around.

Yang Ruoxu stayed by Su Zimo's side, afraid that Sword Immortal Yue Hua would harm the latter.

At noon, someone knocked on the door.

Yang Ruoxu swept his spirit consciousness and was relieved.

There were only two people outside and they were both Heaven Immortals. One of them was Princess Scarlet Rainbow's brother, Xie Qingcheng.

Su Zimo stood up and welcomed the two of them in.

"Brother Su."

Xie Qingcheng smiled when he saw Su Zimo.

In less than a thousand years, Xie Qingcheng's aura underwent a tremendous change and became even more mature and noble. A dignified look flashed through his eyes from time to time.

Behind Xie Qingcheng was Lie Xuan, Rank 5 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction!

"Fellow Daoist Su, how have you been?"

Lie Xuan cupped his fists towards Su Zimo and said with a conflicted expression.

Su Zimo had once suppressed him twice in the Asura battlefield.

However, he truly could not bring himself to hate Su Zimo.

Apart from Zong Feiyu who escaped unscathed, he was the only one among the group of people who were in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction to be unharmed. Moreover, he received a blessing in disguise!

Under the immense pressure of Su Zimo's flame secret skill, he finally comprehended the final profoundness of the Great Sun Sutra and his combat strength increased exponentially.

"How has it been being the Prince of Spirit Cloud County all these years?" Su Zimo asked.

Xie Qingcheng looked at Lie Xuan. "With Brother Lie's help, I resolved many difficulties and gained a foothold."

Actually, when he saw Xie Qingcheng and Lie Xuan arrive together, Su Zimo knew that Lie Xuan had already submitted to Xie Qingcheng—that was similar to what he had expected.

It was late at night before Xie Qingcheng and Lie Xuan bid farewell.

A night passed but Yang Ruoxu did not rest at all. He was nervous and was prepared to deal with any sudden changes.

Tomorrow was the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet and tonight would be Sword Immortal Yue Hua's last chance.

However, there was no activity in the vicinity until morning.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua was cultivating in a room not far away and did not even leave his room.

"Could I have imagined it previously?" Yang Ruoxu doubted himself.

Before long, everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy gathered outside, prepared to head to the Divine Firmament Hall—the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet would officially begin today!
