Peerless Battle Spirit

More people continued to show up.

Seven days later, the Wonderful Fruit City was fully crowded with people.

Meanwhile, the Tree of Wonderful Fruit on top of the sacred mountain changed once again. The sixth bud on it blossomed and turned into a fruit, gathering everyone’s attention again.

However, they could only watch it from afar.

A few days ago, the Exceptional Genius of the Xingkong Tribe, the Eleventh Young Master had already used a terrifying eye-technique to inspect the barrier. He discovered that the barrier would dissipate on its own in around ten days.

“Did you hear? The Young Master of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect, Meng Jiugong is here!”

“Of course I did, that Young Master held a feast right away and invited the Exceptional Geniuses and Peerless Geniuses to it!”

“Hehe, peak Heaven Immortals are welcome to join too. We’ll talk later, I’ll go and check it out first.”

A great uproar took place in the city as the peak Heaven Immortals and others that were stronger proceeded to the venue of the feast.

The rest with weaker cultivation were dispirited.

Apart from the reputable Exceptional Geniuses, they were also interested in meeting some mysterious cultivators that rarely showed up.

Some time later, in the biggest palace in the Wonderful Fruit City…

The place was filled with tables and chairs seated by more than a hundred cultivators. Their auras were either in the peak Heaven Immortal Realm, or immeasurable like an abyss.

“Thank you everyone for showing up. Allow me to give you all a toast.”

Meng Jiugong stepped forward. He was calm and steady even when he was facing so many Exceptional Geniuses.

“Meng Jiugong, there must be a reason you’ve gathered us all here. Just spit it out now, stop wasting our time!” someone soon blurted out among the crowd.

The crowd followed the voice and were startled upon seeing who it was.

The person that spoke was a young man with a crescent on his forehead. He had long purple hair and a purple glow in his eyes. He was emitting a mysterious aura too.

He was an Exceptional Genius from one of the Supreme Daoism factions, the Exceptional Genius of the Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate, Zong Chang!

Everyone knew that the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect and the Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate were not fond of one another.

Meng Jiugong remained smiling as he spoke, “I’ll get straight to the point since Cultivator Zong is insisting it.”

“I believe many of you have received a lot of news lately, but I doubt if they are everything that we Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect have learned.”

“According to the information we have, many Peerless Rulers are planning to attack the Realm of the Primordial Blood and force their way in.”

Meng Jiugong added after a brief pause, “Therefore, I believe we too can join hands to break through the barrier.”

Many frowned after hearing the words.

Zong Chang said with a disdainful look, “I don’t think that’s necessary. We have more than ten Nine Heavens Supremes in charge of the defense here. Which Peerless Rulers dare to court their deaths?”

Some among the crowd nodded. The five tribes had put in a lot of effort to ensure that no one came to cause any trouble during the gathering.

Meng Jiugong said with a smile, “The five tribes have indeed done a great job, but the Peerless Rulers aren’t weaklings either. Besides, Cultivator Zong, you shouldn’t forget about the possibility that other factions are going to show up too.”

“For example, the Ancient Taboo.”

Two cups broke into pieces.

Gu Feng and Gu Xiaoyao of the Wengu Tribe suddenly unleashed icy auras as the Ancient Taboo was their tribe’s nemesis.

Zong Chang nodded and said with a cold grin, “You might be right, but you’re only a first-layer Heaven Immortal in the Lesser Success Stage of the Dao Realm. What right do you have to gather us all here and ask us to work together?”

A few peak Heaven Immortals smacked their lips.

This Zong Chang was showing no face at all.

Even Meng Jiugong’s expression turned cold slightly despite how calm he normally was.

“Zong Chang, what right do you have to pick on my brother? He has the Flesh of Good Luck and is the future Patriarch of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect. Who do you think you are?”

A cold voice blurted out as a young man in a gray robe with disheveled hair, carrying an ancient long sword on his back like a vagrant swordsman showed up behind Meng Jiugong.

“Brother Meng Jinxian?”

“What? Meng Jinxian is here too?”

The peak Heaven Immortals were astounded. Gu Feng, Zhu Yan, Gu Xiaoyao, Lu Qingyin, the Eleventh Young Master, and the rest of the Exceptional Geniuses were startled.

Meng Jinxian was the son of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect’s Patriarch, the most talented Exceptional Genius of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect. He had triggered a rare phenomenon symbolizing the Master Realm when he was first born. He was clearly one of the most talented Exceptional Geniuses among them!

It was rare to see him show up before the crowd. Many Exceptional Geniuses that were present had only heard of his name before.

“Meng Jinxian, so you’re here too, about time!”

Zong Chang rose to his feet. His purple hair drifted in the air as he unleashed a terrifying aura shaking the ground, “I lost to you in a close match five years ago, but today, I’m going to defeat you!”

The immortal force in his body became restless. He was planning to attack right away.

“The Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect has gathered us here to have a proper discussion, yet you’re trying to stir up a fight here? If that’s the case, I shall be your opponent,” a calm voice said.

A short-haired young man with his hands behind him came while being accompanied by Gong Wuhua and a masked woman. Every step he took would unleash a formidable aura, like a great ruler that had returned to his world.

“Jiang Ni?”

The Exceptional Geniuses, Peerless Geniuses, and the Heaven Immortals were astounded.

Zong Chang’s eyes widened too.

Jiang Ni was the strongest Exceptional Genius of the Extreme Living Gate. Unlike Meng Jinxian, he had occasionally visited many Supreme Daoism factions and ancient tribes to challenge the other Exceptional Geniuses. He had no lost a single duel so far.

“Cultivator Jiang Ni is right, Cultivator Zong Chang, please give up the thought for now. After all, it’s not going to do us any good if a bunch of Peerless Rulers did force theirway in.”

Lu Qingyin intervened. Her voice was crisp like a refreshing spring. It was soothing and calming in the ears of the crowd.

“If the gorgeous woman and Cultivator Jiang say so…”

Zong Chang wore a smile after some time as he withdrew his aura.

“Cultivator Jinxian, I’m sure the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect has come up with a plan if you have gathered us here. Why don’t you share it with us then?”

Jiang Ni looked at Meng Jinxian and said, “If it’s viable, I’m willing to lend a hand.”

Meng Jinxian expressed his gratitude. He looked at Gu Feng, Zhu Yan, Lu Qingyin, and the rest of the Exceptional Geniuses. After seeing their nods, he proceeded to explain the plan.
