“However, are you sure you want to do this?”

Xia Huang looked at Xu Zong and asked in a deep voice.

“If what you said is true, there may be some danger in this.”

“Your Majesty, please rest assured, there will be no danger.”

Xu Zong smiled slightly and said confidently.

“Well…good, since you are so willing, then let’s do it according to your plan!”

Xia Huang pondered for a moment and then decisively made the decision.

Just at that moment.

“Hahaha! Xia Mang, we have come uninvited today, I wonder if you welcome us?”

A hearty laughter suddenly came from the sky, sounding very abrupt.

Xia Huang’s expression suddenly changed, and the thousands of Heavenly Immortals gathered outside the hall also quieted down.

In the clouds on the horizon, eight figures suddenly appeared, each with a strange appearance. There were dashing men in blue Daoist robes, monks in cassocks, an old man riding an ox, and a sturdy man in dragon robes. All eight of them exuded an unfathomable aura, just like Xia Huang.

“Friends, you actually have time to come to our Great Xia? You are very welcome, please take your seats!”

Xia Huang walked down from the dragon throne and greeted the eight people with a hearty laugh. With a wave of his hand, eight seats appeared in the Tianmang Hall, filled with celestial fruits and celestial wine, luxuries that even Heavenly Immortals rarely had the chance to enjoy.

“Now, there is a great turmoil in the Three Realms. Thirty years ago, there was a major event in the Underworld, causing panic throughout the Three Realms. This time of great turmoil is also the time when great heroes emerge. Your Great Xia is among the leaders in the world, and there may be extraordinary figures born in your world. That’s why we have come here boldly!”

The speaker was the leader, a man in a blue Daoist robe carrying a celestial sword. He spoke with great ease.

He deliberately shielded the conversation from the many Heavenly Immortals below, so that those outside could not hear what was being said here.

“The same goes for my Buddhist sect.”

The monk in the cassock also smiled.

Xia Huang was helpless, but secretly vigilant.

Among the eight who came here, the leading swordsman was none other than the famous Lü Dongbin, a figure renowned throughout the Three Realms. He was originally the reincarnation of the Emperor of Donghua, and had studied under two great masters even before that. With such a background, few in the Three Realms could compare. He had integrated the strengths of both schools into his own swordsmanship, which was famous throughout the Three Realms. In terms of strength, he was even stronger than Xia Huang!

Lü Dongbin was carefree and outspoken, but he had some integrity and wouldn’t do anything too outrageous.

The others were from various backgrounds. The man in the golden robe was his junior brother, Emperor Hao, the son of the Yellow Emperor, with a high status and a strong lineage. The old man riding the ox was the Immortal of the Northern Region, not very familiar with the Daoist Ancestor Chiming and the Yellow Emperor. The monk was Mahasthamaprapta, a prominent figure in the Buddhist sect.

“We must be cautious, lest the geniuses at the conference be secretly taken away by the Buddhist sect.”

Xia Huang thought to himself.

The leader of the Buddhist sect, the Tathagata Buddha, was naturally a person of great vision and was highly respected in the Three Realms. However, there were some Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the Buddhist sect who were not clean.

“Huh? Who is this young friend?”

At this moment, Lü Dongbin suddenly noticed Xu Zong, who had also risen to greet him next to Xia Huang, and looked at him with a surprised expression.

Lü Dongbin was truly a remarkable figure. He spoke to Xu Zong, a young man of the Wanxiang Realm, as if he were an equal, completely disregarding differences in age and seniority.

Emperor Hao and Mahasthamaprapta also looked at Xu Zong with surprise.

How could a young man of the Wanxiang Realm have the qualifications to sit next to Xia Huang and be treated with such respect?

“I am Teng Qinghu, and I pay my respects to the seniors!”

Xu Zong also respectfully bowed to several Pure Yang powerhouses.

Although he would definitely be very powerful in the future, it was important to see clearly in the present. It was not embarrassing to pay respects to the Pure Yang powerhouses.

“Please take your seats, everyone. This Immortal Fate Conference will last for a year, so take your time to observe! Come, prepare the feast!”

Xia Huang invited the Pure Yang powerhouses to take their seats in the grand hall, and Xu Zong also returned to his seat next to Xia Huang.

Many attendants suddenly appeared below, presenting celestial fruits and celestial wine respectfully to the many Heavenly Immortal powerhouses.

As for the Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals below, they did not receive such treatment, but Xia Huang did not stop them from enjoying themselves. They also took out good wine and fruits from their storage treasures and began to eat and drink.The wine and dishes were naturally the many geniuses who fought each other in the moonlit landscape in the sky.

“Tsk tsk, Daoist Xiamang, your Great Xia world is indeed extraordinary, with quite a few talented individuals!”

Lu Dongbin lay slantingly on the chair, allowing the wine to spill on his clothes, not caring about his appearance at all, and continued to exclaim.

“Is that young man in purple clothes the genius of your Xiamang Clan?”

“He is Xiamang Zishan, indeed the number one genius of our Xiamang Clan in this generation. He has already comprehended four minor paths and reached the true meaning of the Dao on the great path. According to the prediction of my Tianbao Mountain, he is a hot favorite to win first place in this Immortal Fate Conference.”

Looking in the direction pointed out by Lu Dongbin, there was indeed a young man in purple clothes in the moonlit landscape, directly pushing aside more than a dozen geniuses, none of whom were his match, extremely domineering.

“That young man in black is a potential Sword Immortal!”

Lu Dongbin suddenly pointed to a young man in black clothes, looking pleased.

Under the siege of several geniuses, the young man in black clothes unleashed a lotus flower sword formation, directly killing several people.

“Reporting to Patriarch Lu, his name is Ji Ning. He previously offended the Shaoyan Clan and is indeed a natural-born Sword Immortal.”

Seeing that Lu Dongbin was pointing at Ji Ning, Xu Zong smiled and introduced him. Ji Ning’s beast skin was too distinctive, and he was immediately besieged upon entering, so he had to change into a black robe.

“Not bad, not bad! Oh, the swordsmanship of this person in golden robes is quite extraordinary too!”

Lu Dongbin suddenly brightened up and looked at a young man with a vermilion mole on his forehead.

The young man in golden robes wielded a purple divine sword, and with a swing of his sword, black and white energy flowed, forming a Tai Chi diagram, suppressing the surrounding geniuses and easily harvesting their tokens.

“Amazing! The achievements of this little guy in golden robes on the Tai Chi Dao are not inferior to Xiamang Zishan’s achievements on the great path!”

Emperor Hao beside him also brightened up and exclaimed.

“Haha, this person was brought by this little guy, Qinghu.”

Emperor Xia laughed and pointed to Xu Zong beside him.

He was originally a genius from a small world, named Qin Shiqi. I saw that he was stuck in a bottleneck and couldn’t make any progress, so I brought him out.”

Seeing the situation, Xu Zong introduced him to the several Pure Yang powerhouses.

“A genius from a small world?”

Upon hearing this, two Pure Yang True Immortals were visibly moved.

If they were not geniuses from this Great Xia world, it should not be difficult for them to be recruited.

This little guy named Qin Shiqi has achieved quite high accomplishments on the Tai Chi Dao and has the potential to become a Heavenly Immortal. It is not impossible for him to become a Pure Yang True Immortal.

“The martial arts of this little guy in black clothes are quite formidable! He is simultaneously studying the Five Elements minor paths and has a deep understanding of the Path of Life and Death.”

“He was also brought out from a small world by me, named Teng Qingshan. His wife is in the cycle of reincarnation, and he came here to find powerful individuals to help him retrieve his wife from the cycle of reincarnation.”

Several Pure Yang powerhouses brightened up upon hearing this.

This is a good thing! It’s easy for them, as Pure Yang powerhouses, to retrieve someone from the cycle of reincarnation.

Although the Underworld was destroyed by the birth and destruction of the two realms’ calamity dragon thirty years ago, each realm in the Three Realms now has its own Underworld, and some large worlds have even established their own cycles of reincarnation, usually managed by the level of Heavenly Immortals. With just a word from them, the Pure Yang True Immortals could easily recruit Teng Qingshan.

“This little guy’s Dao is quite interesting, with a wide range of studies in many paths. His self-created Beast Battle Technique has its merits. Is he walking the path of the Thunder and Lightning Dao?”

“He was also brought out from a small world by me, named Pei San. Similar to Qin Shiqi, he is also chasing after higher realms.”

“These three little guys, are they from the same small world?”

“Exactly.”

“Which small world?”

Bodhisattva Dashizhi couldn’t help but ask.

A small world has produced so many geniuses, it is probably a treasure trove. If they could all belong to the Buddhist sect, it would be a wonderful thing.

“It’s not to be said.”

Xu Zong shook his head.

Bodhisattva Dashizhi was stunned, feeling helpless, and could only suppress his curiosity.

In the moonlit landscape, Ji Ning, Teng Qingshan, Pei San, Qin Shiqi, and others all burst out with extremely strong power. Some local geniuses from Great Xia, such as Xiamang Zishan, Cangwu Jiu, and Shaoyan Xuan, also forcefully obtained many tokens in the landscape, instantly becoming the most dazzling figures.

As time passed, the geniuses in the landscape continued to fight, and the situation had stabilized. Those who needed to erupt had already done so, and those who were still hiding their strength would not reveal it at this time.

The immortals watching the battle gradually lost interest and no longer paid attention to the landscape.

The Pure Yang powerhouses in the Tianmang Hall also gradually shifted the topic to discussing who was responsible for using the birth and destruction of the two realms’ calamity dragon to destroy the Underworld.

As a result, a month passed.

“It’s almost time.”

Emperor Xia suddenly put down his wine cup and looked at Xu Zong sitting next to him.

“Almost.”Xu Zong heard the words and nodded with a smile.

“What’s almost done?”

Lu Dongbin and the others looked over in surprise.

“Hehe, knowing that my fellow Daoists are bored, this little one has prepared an extra program for your enjoyment.”

Emperor Xia smiled faintly, then stood up and looked towards the Mountain and River Painting in the sky.

The next moment, his voice directly appeared within the entire painting.

“Congratulations to you, the little ones who have survived until now. However, this Immortal Fate Conference will be adding a temporary rule, and next, you will face a very powerful opponent!”
