Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

“Ling Yun Tower has arrived!” While everyone was confused about the identity of the person sitting behind Dao Xin and Dao Hun, they suddenly heard a voice.

Then, a group of people appeared. Their dresses danced with the wind like a group of butterflies and attracted all the other disciples’ attention.

Qian Yu was obviously standing at the front of the group, donning her usual silvery-white dress. Her face wasn’t covered by a white veil, revealing her calm expression. However, her facial features were as exquisite as a painting.

Ping Yang, who wore a red dress, and several other disciples wearing different colored dresses, were standing beside Qian Yu.

“It’s Ling Yun Tower!”

“Four out of the five sects of Holy Region are already here. Nine Pinnacles Mountain is the only one left!”

“This is weird, even Ling Yun Tower has arrived before Nine Pinnacles Mountain. Why are they so slow this time?”

Some of the smaller sects automatically moved out of Ling Yun Tower’s way, but they were clearly confused.

However, their opinions didn’t matter. After all, it was understandable if something happened in Nine Pinnacles Mountain and caused a delay.

“Leader Qian Ye, thank you for coming!” One of Heaven Dao Pavilion’s disciples who was in charged of reception quickly walked towards Qian Yu and paid his respect.

“How dare you. This is our new leader, Lady Qian Yu!” A Ling Yun Tower’s disciple frowned and reprimanded him. The small incident easily demonstrated Ling Yun Tower’s arrogance.

“Lady Qian Yu?!”

“New leader?”

“What’s going on?”

Everyone was puzzled to hear her. However, several people’s expressions changed drastically.

Qian Yu!

They obviously knew her name, because she was the one who sparked the war that took place over a dozen years ago. However, she disappeared without a trace after the war ended.

“Qian Yu became the new leader?” Heaven Dao Pavilion and Fu Xi Valley’s elders glanced at each other with surprise.

After that, the disciple who scolded the receptionist didn’t say another word. She obviously wasn’t going to explain what had happened.

“Well…’Qu Nan’ apologizes on behalf of Heaven Dao Pavilion for insulting Leader Qian Yu!” The disciple in charge of welcoming them, Qu Nan, quickly paid his respect to Qian Yu again.

“It’s alright.” Qian Yu shook her head gently and forgave him.

“Thank you. Leader Qian Yu, please follow me.” Qu Nan paid his respect again before leading Ling Yun Tower towards one of the statues. However, after they were seated, Qu Nan noticed that something was off, because there seemed to be a strange person amongst Ling Yun Tower’s disciples.

Qu Nan sweated when he took a closer look.

That was because the person was a man, and most importantly, he was Great Xia Dynasty’s emperor, Lin Mubai.

“Your Highness, what are you doing?” Qu Nan couldn’t wrap his head around this. After all, Great Xia Dynasty was offering their own spot, so it didn’t make sense for him to join Ling Yun Tower.

“Cough, cough, where’s my seat? Lin Mubai turned red when he looked at Qu Nan and the confused faces around him.

“Oh… Qu Nan was careless. Please follow me!” Qu Nan quickly reacted by putting the blame on himself.

As the disciple who was chosen to be the receptionist, Qu Nan was indeed an outstanding man at resolving any sudden problems.

“Thank you.” Lin Mubai nodded and quickly followed Qu Nan to Great Xia Dynasty’s designated area.

“Your Highness!”

“Your servants pay their respects to Your Highness!”

Xian King Ling Yun and a few accompanying ministers and generals immediately kneeled on the ground to welcome Lin Mubai back.

“At ease.” Lin Mubai nodded again and sat on the seat at the front. He didn’t explain anything, and it didn’t seem like he wanted to say anything else either.

Xian King Ling Yun and the ministers and generals glanced at each other, and they obviously didn’t dare to ask Lin Mubai about it. They quickly got up and stood behind him.

…

Sunlight fell from the sky. The mountain peak was a little cold due to the wind and the surrounding clouds, but it somehow exuded a solemn and holy aura.

Time ticked by slowly.

After waiting for 10 more minutes, everyone was puzzled once again because Nine Pinnacles Mountain hadn’t shown up even though it was almost time for the Heaven Alliance Meeting.

“What’s wrong with Nine Pinnacles Mountain this time?”

“I heard that something bad happened to their previous leader, Tian Xing, in Heaven Dao Pavilion. Hence the sect is probably in a state of chaos right now, which is probably why they are late.”

“I know about it too, but that doesn’t mean that Nine Pinnacles Mountain can skip the Heaven Alliance Meeting today.”

Everyone knitted their brows together. After all, as one of the five sects of Holy Region, Nine Pinnacles Mountain ought to have shown up even if something happened to their leader.

Most importantly, Yin Yang Hall and Nine Pinnacles Mountain were both about the same distance away from Heaven Zen Mountain. If Yin Yang Hall was here since a long time ago, they couldn’t help but wonder why Nine Pinnacles Mountain had yet to appear.

“Nine Pinnacles Mountain has arrived!” The crowd heard another voice while they were guessing, following which, another group of people appeared.

“They’re finally here!”

“Yeah, all the five sects are finally here!”

“Eh? Who’s that… At the front? I have never seen him before?”

Everyone was astonished and confused when they saw the group of people, because the person that led Nine Pinnacles Mountain here wasn’t their First elder ‘Ying Yu’. It was a complete stranger, a young man that no one had seen before.

He was dressed in white and donning a huge bamboo hat. The black veil covered his face completely, and they could only see his slender figure, his black hair, and his fair skin.

Everyone was more astounded than before, because under normal circumstances, First elder Ying Yu should be the person leading Nine Pinnacles Mountain.

A young man?

Who was he?

It wasn’t just the small sects that were bewildered. Even Dao Hun and Dao Xin trembled a little when they saw the masked young man. Although their faces were covered by their mask and veil, they were still visibly stunned.

Nonetheless, neither of them raised a single question. However, they both seemed to be deep in thought.

“Qu Nan apologizes for the late welcome, may I know who you…” Qu Nan came out to greet them, but he stopped mid-sentence. After all, he wouldn’t make the same mistake twice, so he was being extremely cautious.

“This is our Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s new leader. His surname is Bai, and his given name is Fei. He’s the final disciple that our previous leader, Tian Xing, had accepted!” One of Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s disciple stepped out and announced loudly.

“Final disciple?” Qu Nan frowned and scrutinized the masked young man intuitively again.

The identities of the five sect leaders’ disciples were no secret in the Holy Region. However, this ‘Bai Fei’ seemed to have never appeared in the Holy Region before.

How did a man like this become Tian Xing’s final disciple?

Furthermore, this person had become Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s new leader. Qu Nan couldn’t help but be surprised.

“This is our Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s private affair.” The disciples obviously saw the surprise in Qu Nan’s expression, and his voice became colder.

“Definitely. Leader Tian had always hand-picked his disciples, so it makes sense that he didn’t announce it publicly. Qu Nan was being disrespectful. Leader Bai Fei, please follow me!” Qu Nan immediately nodded and led them to their allocated spot.

“New leader, Bai Fei?” The crowd glanced at each other with a complicated expression.

However, since they were just here for the sake of being here, they obviously wouldn’t question the new leader of Nine Pinnacles Mountain, one of the five sects of Holy Region.

After all, that disciple was right when he said that it was Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s private affair. Outsiders like them weren’t even qualified to talk about Tian Xing’s disciples or their new leader.

However, they couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong.

Ling Yun Tower’s leader suddenly became Qian Yu, and even Nine Pinnacles Mountain had a new leader that no one had ever seen before.

No one knew if something out of the blue would happen during the Heaven Alliance Meeting.

After Bai Fei sat down, Heaven Dao Pavilion’s leader, Mu Qingfeng, slowly stood up and scanned across the surroundings. His snow-white robe was rumbling in the wind.

Several elders were standing behind him, followed by a group of disciples in white scholar’s robes, each carrying a sword on his back

However, there was an odd one out amongst the disciples. The person in front of the other disciples was a woman in a pink dress and a snow-white belt.

She was Chi Guyan.

The pride of honor of Heaven Dao Pavilion stood motionlessly and quietly behind Mu Qingfeng, but she still caught everyone’s attention.

“Is that Chi Guyan?”

“Yeah, she’s so beautiful. Her beauty is devastating….”

“Hush… Keep your voice down. You can’t just say things like that. Chi Guyan is the Chosen One, so how could you be so disrespectful?”

“I’m just complimenting her. I wouldn’t dare to think of anything else!”

There was a small discussion amongst the crowd, but it quickly died down because Mu Qingfeng was going to speak.

“Ke Ke!” Mu Qingfeng coughed softly and paid his respect to the other four sects, saying, “I’m honored that so many fellow cultivators have shown up after receiving my invitation. I thank you all for coming!”

“Leader, you’re too courteous!” Everyone else also stood up and paid their respects to Mu Qingfeng.

“Please take a seat!” Mu Qingfeng gestured them to their seats after paying his respects again.

After everyone was seated, he continued, “I’ve never liked to beat around the bush or nag unnecessarily, so I will cut to the chase and explain why I have invited everyone to the Heaven Alliance Meeting!”

“Leader, please go ahead.”

Mu Qingfeng nodded and continued, “Alright, I believe that everyone has witnessed the strange phenomenon that occurred around the world in the past few months. For example, the Heaven Zen Mountain that we are standing on, had grown a few thousand meters taller overnight. This has never ever happened before. However, such phenomenon appears to be happening all around the world, and it seems to be going out of control. Do you agree with me?”

Everyone nodded silently, and their expressions indicated that they knew what Mu Qingfeng was trying to say.

Mu Qingfeng glanced around and continued without a pause, “However, I believe that everyone here isn’t aware that something more bizarre than the weird phenomenon around the world has happened beneath Heaven Dao Pavilion’s mountain. An Archean Miraculous Ruin has appeared!”

“What?!”

“Archean Miraculous Ruin?!”

“I’ve never heard of that. What’s an Archean Miraculous Ruin?”

The silent crowd intuitively blurted into a commotion because ‘Archean Miraculous Ruin’ sounded too shocking.

“Fellow cultivators, you may not know that not a single Miraculous Ruin has appeared in the Holy Region for thousands of years, and there is a reason why I called it an Archean Miraculous Ruin.” Mu Qingfeng seemed to have expected their reactions, so he remained indifferent.

Silence.

Everyone quietened down and gazed at Mu Qingfeng, waiting for him to continue.

Mu Qingfeng didn’t bush around the bust. He continued speaking after everyone had quietened down,” I’ve called it an Archean Miraculous Ruin because I found a chunk of Archean scripture inside. After months of study, I’ve discovered that a name is actually mentioned multiple times!”

“Name? What name?”
