#729 - The Five Saints Appear
In the Immortal Dao, beyond the heavens.
Within a magnificent palace, a man wearing a golden crown stood with his hands clasped behind his back near a clear spring, his brow conveying an awe-inspiring majesty.
He wore a black robe embroidered with intricate golden patterns, highlighting his unique and supreme status.
This man was the master of the Immortal Dao, the lord of the heavens beyond, the Immortal Saint Qiu Hongjun.
“The ten-year period has arrived; it’s time to take a look. This time's Tongtian Assembly seems to hold quite a few surprises for me!”
Qiu Hongjun's narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and a chilling light flickered between the opening and closing of his eyelids.
With just a turn, Qiu Hongjun had already disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared at all.
In the Buddhist Dao, the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Inside a resplendent Buddhist temple, a giant lotus platform suddenly bloomed, revealing a monk sitting quietly in a lotus position.
This monk was bare-chested, with a robe draped diagonally across his body, and his entire being was constantly surging with dazzling divine light. He was the Buddha Saint Nanwu.
“A Buddhist disciple with even greater talent than me has appeared… how interesting!”
Nanwu suddenly opened his eyes, murmured to himself, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: “This old monk can hardly wait…”
The next moment, the lotus platform was empty.
In the Demonic Dao, the Great Demon Heaven.
Within the Demonic Dao palace, which was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, the black clouds suddenly began to roll and converge without warning, shrinking back into the palace in an instant.
At the same time, the palace gate opened abruptly, and a majestic figure appeared.
This man had wild, disheveled hair, a strong physique, and wore black demonic armor. Just standing there, he gave people an unparalleled sense of oppression.
This man was the supreme of the Demonic Dao, the Demon Saint Chu Aotian.
“Saint Venerable!”
A figure rapidly flew through the air, an old man with white hair, kneeling on one knee in greeting.
Chu Aotian grunted faintly: “The Tongtian Assembly is coming to an end. I heard there are a few good little fellows. Take good care of the house; I’ll go take a look.”
The old man was Chu Aotian’s butler, Qiu Nian, who had followed Chu Aotian a long time ago. Now he was a Demon Emperor at the fifth level. Hearing this, he nodded and said, “Yes!”
Demonic clouds rose beneath Chu Aotian's feet, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon.
In the Ghost Dao, the Yin Yang Heaven.
Within a bottomless abyss, there was silence, like an ancient beast coiled for many years.
Suddenly, a large expanse of light mist burst out from the abyss, wrapped around a figure, and soared into the air, suspended in mid-air.
This person was tall and slender, always shrouded in a hazy black mist, making it impossible to see their face or discern their gender.
Countless figures immediately flashed out to greet him: “Saint Venerable!”
This person was the supreme of the Ghost Dao, Nie Wushang.
However, facing the crowd's greetings, Nie Wushang had no reaction, only paused slightly before soaring straight into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
In the Monster Dao, the Myriad Monster Heaven.
On a huge skull mountain, there were countless caves of various sizes, constantly spewing out either fiery or eerie auras.
On the highest mountain peak, the Monster Saint Gongyang Jin silently looked up at the sky, seemingly contemplating something.
After more than nine years of fighting and competition, the original 300,000 immortals were now reduced to less than 10,000.
This shows the tragic extent of the fighting.
Under the starry sky, Qin Qigang looked up at the firmament, a look of worry on his face: “It's been so long, why can’t we still find Qipeng’s踪迹跡? Where did he go?”
Qin Qishuo next to him was also a little puzzled: “We’ve almost turned this broken island upside down in the past few years, Qipeng, he wouldn’t…”
“Shut your crow's mouth!”
Qin Mengxue glared at him fiercely, “According to Dad, Qipeng was taken away by a great demon clan power a long time ago. He must have made full preparations to participate in the Tongtian Assembly this time. With Dad and the alliance leader protecting him, he will definitely be fine!”
Qin Qiming nodded: “Qipeng’s strength is beyond doubt. Even we are safe and sound, he will definitely be fine. Maybe he is just trapped somewhere!”
Qin Qixin gently said while twirling a string of prayer beads in his hand: “Brother Qipeng is the one with the strongest luck among our brothers. Good people are always blessed by heaven. Now that the Tongtian Assembly is nearing its end, Li Sha Immortal Island is so big, it won't be easy to decide on the final thousand people!”
Over the past nine years, Qin Qiming and others have also made considerable progress in their strength, almost reaching the seventh or eighth level of the Earth Immortal realm.
With their talent, they can now walk unhindered on Li Sha Immortal Island. In these nine years, they don’t know how many immortals have died in their hands.
Suddenly, a stream of light flashed across the sky, smashing into a mountain in the distance in the blink of an eye, making a rumbling sound.
Qin Qiming and others immediately turned their heads to look.
Before long, a figure rapidly flew over, it was Luo Ming.
“Everyone!”
Luo Ming trotted over, holding a jade slip in his hand, a look of worry on his face: “Someone just sent a message, ordering all participants to immediately go to the center of Li Sha Immortal Island. All overdue personnel will be immediately purged!”
Qin Qiming and others looked at each other and stood up.
Sure enough, the people organizing the Tongtian Assembly could not allow everyone to quietly hide in a certain place until the end, otherwise the rule that only a thousand people will leave alive would become a joke.
—
A stream of light shot from a distance, suspended above a huge canyon.
It can be seen that in the canyon at this moment, countless huge strange insects of various sizes are densely packed and curled up, like enlarged versions of mantises, chewing with their sharp mouthparts, indifferently glancing at the figure in mid-air.
The figure being stared at frowned: “Those little guys are really unlucky, they actually broke into the territory of these monsters. No wonder there has been no movement in the past few years. Now it seems that they are probably doomed…”
However, he still symbolically shot a stream of light to the ground, then turned and left.
Deep in the canyon, in a cave, there are also strange insects entrenched.
These strange insects are much larger than the ones outside, and even more ferocious and terrifying. The tough carapace shines with a metallic luster, and the largest one is even as large as a mountain.
However, around them, there are huge humanoid cocoons tightly wrapped in white silk threads.
Crack!
A certain strange insect suddenly raised its sharp sickle and deeply inserted it into a humanoid cocoon. With a scream, a large amount of blood flowed out from the breach. The strange insect immediately probed into it, and the blood constantly poured into its straw-like mouthparts, drinking extremely happily with a gurgling sound.
With a soft pop, a divine soul was also sucked in, and there was no more movement in the humanoid cocoon.
