And in the sky, upon reaching a certain boundary between continents, a Rainbow Bridge materialized—a unique spatial barrier. Beyond it lay the Magpie Bridge of the Creation Gate.

Crossing it led to a special landmark: a floating island known as the Magpie Bridge Immortal Mountain.

It was a blessed land outside the Nine Provinces Cultivation World, a unique Grotto Heaven belonging to the Creation Gate.

The mountain was adorned with large, red, mystical peach trees. An ethereal celestial breeze rustled through them, and petals showered down like colorful rain—a beautiful sight that evoked a festive feeling.

At the mountain's peak, a grand jade platform could be seen in the distance. It was known as the Life Platform, signifying that Cultivators who became Taoist couples here would remain together for eternity. Viewed from above, the jade platform resembled the symbol of Yin and Yang, representing the Yin Yang Dao.

Compared to the previous Alchemy Dao festival, this event was clearly on a much grander scale.

This was because there were far more attendees.

Wang Mu glanced towards the Heavenly Vault. He saw miraculous Immortal Boats, like the one Master Cheng piloted, and counted at least ten comparable in grandeur.

Furthermore, the stream of people crossing the Magpie Bridge was constantly growing, leaving countless disciples staring in awe.

"Stop daydreaming," Master Cheng chided sharply, jolting the many disciples back to their senses. "It's just a Magpie Bridge Festival. The Cultivation World hosts many grand events. What is this compared to the centuries-old Ascension Ceremony, or the more recent Nine Provinces Centennial Heavenly Pride Battle? Those are truly top-tier events in the Cultivation World."

"Master, can one find Taoist couples at those events?" a disciple asked.

"Nonsense, of course not."

"Then the Magpie Bridge Festival is more interesting," the disciple retorted.

"..."

A vein throbbed on Cheng Tianyong's temple; he was tempted to throw the disciple out.

All he can think about are Taoist couples...

After the Immortal Boat landed at a corner of the Life Platform, Master Cheng did not disembark. He merely instructed, "When you participate in this festival, don't just focus on finding Taoist couples. Mingle with disciples from other sects, enhance your combat experience, and broaden your knowledge. Battle is the way to improve your Magic and Sword techniques, do you understand?"

"After the festival ends, you can return to the Sect together or wait for me to pick you up."

With that, Master Cheng departed.

"Isn't Master staying?" Wang Mu wondered, somewhat puzzled.

It wasn't just Master Cheng; the Peak Leaders of several other peaks also returned to their Sect.

"Master's Taoist couple has passed away," a senior disciple explained. "Naturally, he wouldn't stay for the Magpie Bridge Festival..."

Wang Mu furrowed his brow slightly. There seems to be more to it than that...

After their Master left, the many disciples were like fish released into the ocean, eagerly exploring the Life Platform.

There were many Cultivators present, and even more Female Cultivators than back in their own Sect.

Moreover, the Female Cultivators from the various parts of the Nine Provinces each had their own unique charm!

For example, in Qianzhou, the Female Cultivators were mostly dressed in lavish attire, wearing delicate and exquisite Magic Robes. They had elegant hairstyles and carried themselves with dignified confidence, embodying the pride and composure befitting those from the heart of the Nine Provinces.

Qianzhou was also home to many members of the Spirit Clan. They incorporated styles from various regions and radiated intense Spiritual Energy. For instance, the Feathered People Clan, who had recently joined the Sword Sect, originated from Tianyu Mountain in Qianzhou.

They were not Foreign Clans but branches of the Human Clan.

Or consider the Great Wilderness, located in the northern part of the Nine Provinces, where Body Cultivation was prevalent. Its people had bronze skin and exuded a potent, masculine aura. Even the Female Cultivators there were hearty and open, often clad only in beast-skin cloaks or simple garments, making for a strikingly eye-catching sight.

The Female Cultivators of the Great Wilderness were typically passionate and fiery, utterly devoid of reserved modesty. If the Rebirth Mirror showed them a destined Taoist couple, they would be incredibly direct, possibly discussing the Dao of Dual Cultivation as early as the next day.

Similarly, Cultivators from the Great Wilderness, being adept in battle, often came to such events primarily to fight Cultivators from other traditions.

Every last one of them was a battle fanatic.

The Cultivators from Li State were similar. Influenced by their proximity to the Great Wilderness or perhaps by its sheer vigor, and with the Joyful Union Sect having caused a stir there in the past, the general disposition of this continent's Cultivators was quite liberal...

The Sky Sea Continent was famously known for its Buddhist Practitioners.

Of course, most Buddhist Practitioners attending the Magpie Bridge Festival were not strictly orthodox. Even those who were orthodox often came purely to exchange pointers with disciples from other sects.

In contrast was the Tianlin Continent. Human Clan cultivators from there were few, as the continent was largely dominated by Demon Cultivators. However, those Human Clan cultivators who did emerge from this continent often possessed extremely high combat capabilities. They constantly battled the Demon Cultivators within their lands, so their strength was not to be underestimated.

It was said that most of them could undergo demonic transformations, as they cultivated Ancient Secret Techniques that allowed them to gain partial powers of Demon Beasts, making them exceptionally formidable.

The Tianlin Continent was also home to many Devilish Cultivators.

Ling Province, in contrast to the Great Wilderness, was home to Cultivators who were mostly conservative and steeped in ancient traditions, adhering to Ancient Methods and ritual proprieties. They were quite resistant to Cultivators from other continents and seldom interacted with the Outer Continents. The Cultivators of this continent were said to be Ancient Clans that had remained hidden within the Shenzhou Divine Land before the great cataclysm that reshaped Heaven and Earth. They rarely involved themselves in external strife, only revealing themselves to the world just before this cataclysm, and subsequently, gradually emerged into the Cultivation World.

Wang Mu roamed about, exploring widely. It was only when he heard about Ling Province that he could faintly connect it to the game he knew.

Ling Province... isn't this the Wanshan Ancient Clan, where Nanrong Biyou was from? They were always hidden in deep mountains and secluded valleys, indifferent to worldly matters...

Wang Mu silently shook his head.

The other major Continents had changed so significantly that Wang Mu couldn't correlate them with the game.

Ling Province, however, was quite distinct.
