Chapter 544 - Gathering of the Peak Talents
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Su Mo flew alongside An Nuan, and the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters toward Great Heaven Peak.
On the way, Su Mo sighed inwardly, and wondered if Xiao Xuanyi and Jiang Chi be participating in this martial arts competition?
Su Mo still held a grudge against how they ambushed him previously! He had planned to use this Martial Arts Competition as a chance to kill both of them.
He sighed and activated his Triple Breathing Techniques, which he had not used in a long time.
Su Mo instantly reined in his aura, and concealed his cultivation at Peak Lv 5 Enlightenment Realm.
Triple Breathing Techniques could easily conceal one’s cultivation to the maximum of three levels lower. Even someone with a very high cultivation would not be able to see through it.
Su Mo lowered his cultivation to Lv 5 because he was worried that Xiao Xuanyi and Jiang Chi would not dare to rise to his challenge if they saw his true strength.
If they thought that his cultivation had not improved so much, they would not fear fighting him, then killing them would be a piece of cake.
Su Mo’s group soon arrived at Great Heaven Peak, and An Nuan led them straight toward Great Yin-Yang Palace.
Su Mo was a little confused. “Doesn’t Great Yin-Yang Palace lead to different planes? Is the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks held in a different plane?”
Sensing Su Mo’s confusion, Tian Chen explained, “11th Junior Brother, Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks is held in a different plane. The area within the plane is very spacious and is perfect for building fighting rings. You won’t feel restricted in there and can move freely.”
Su Mo nodded in understanding.
Soon, they arrived at Great Yin-Yang Palace, which was teeming with people heading toward the same plane.
A giant wave of disciples rushed toward a glowing door deep within the palace like fish in a stream.
That door led to the plane where the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks was about take place.
“The Towering Sky Peak disciples are here!”
“Look! That’s An Nuan, the genius ranked tenth on the List of Top 1,000 Talents!”
“Senior Sister An Nuan is not only a peerless genius, but is also extremely beautiful!”
Their arrival had caused everyone’s attention to be focused on them.
However, almost everyone was focused on An Nuan.
Being on the List of Top 1,000 Talents was the highest possible achievement among young disciples in the East Continent, especially since An Nuan was in the Top Ten.
It was the most official list in all of East Continent and the standard to measure the talent of the younger generation. It was also the dream of every young martial artist to make the List.
“Let’s go in!” An Nuan said to the others, ignoring everyone’s stares. She rushed into the door.
Su Mo, Feng Shaoyu and the others followed closely behind.
After a while, they found themselves on a plain.
Su Mo saw nine giant mountains nearby that formed a circular shape. Each was thousands of meters tall, almost as majestic as the nine great peaks of Celestialspirit Sect.
At this moment, there was a large amount of Celestialspirit Sect disciples gathered on the other eight mountains.
“Let’s go!” An Nuan flew toward a vacant mountain, and the others followed.
They landed on the peak of the mountain in a couple of seconds.
Su Mo saw that these nine mountains formed a circle with a 25-kilometer radius, and in the center of the circle was a giant yellow fighting ring.
The fighting ring was more than 5 kilometers in diameter and hundreds of meters tall. It was covered in shining runes, indicating that many formations had been installed.
The nine mountains represented the nine peaks of the sect, with disciples from each peak at their respective mountain.
Towering Sky Peak only had six disciples, while the other eight mountains were each filled with at least tens of thousands of people.
The mountain containing people from the main peak, Great Heaven Peak, was teeming with at least 50,000 people.
People kept coming into the plane from the entrance.
There were many stone chairs on the peaks. Towering Sky Peak had ten chairs, while the other eight peaks had hundreds.
All the participating disciples from the other eight peaks had arrived, and 100 discples sat on the stone chairs of each of the peaks.
These chairs were for the participating disciples and the accompanying elders. Other disciples who were merely specatators stood scattered on the mountains.
Su Mo could not help but marvel at the amazing sight of the fighting ring and its surrounding nine mountains, which served as spectator stands.
Su Mo, Hua Suiyu, Feng Shaoyu and An Nuan sat down on the stone chairs. The entire fighting ring could be seen clearly from above.
Yun Fei and Tian Chen did not sit down, because sitting on the chairs meant that they could be challenged to fight.
Suddenly, Su Mo felt two bursts of killing desire trained on him and frowned.
He scanned his surroundings and found that one source of the killing desire was Xiao Xuanyi, standing on the opposite mountain.
The other killing desire came from a young man in black from Great Heaven Peak. Su Mo was bewildered since while he understood that Xiao Xuanyi would want to kill him, he did not recognise this young plan in black.
He shook his head lightly and laughed coldly to himself. No matter who it was, anyone who wanted to kill him would die.
The only thing that worried Su Mo was that while the other eight peaks had inner elders present, Towering Sky Peak only sent its few disciples.
If he killed someone, he was not sure if Senior Sister An Nuan would be have his back!
15 minutes later, a slender middle-aged elder from Great Heaven Peak stood up, glanced at all nine mountains, and said loudly, “Since everyone has arrived, let the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks begin!”
He used his cultivation to amplify his voice, and it echoed throughout the entire plane.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, all the other eight peaks erupted with loud cheers with the exception of Towering Sky Peak.
All the outer discples roared excitedly. The Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks was a brilliant competition that determined who would dominate among the nine peaks.
“There are so many geniuses in this year’s competition! Every peak is a contender!”
“In general, Great Heaven Peak is still the strongest, and Holy Sky Peak and Infinite Sky Peak are tied for second!”
“What do you think about Towering Sky Peak?”
“I don’t think they have much of a chance. No one could defeat Jun Wuxi last year, but Hua Suiyu is this year’s strongest disciple at only Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm!”
Across the eight peaks, the discples chattered excitedly.
