Chapter 556 Gathering Clouds (1/2)
Shengzhou Continent, the south sea.
It was a vast, endless sea, which was dotted by innumerable islands. Some of these islands were enormous, spanning an area that did not lose to some empires. The sea was also filled with countless deep sea Genesis Beasts that wielded terrifying power. Even Divine Dwelling stage pract.i.tioners would not dare to venture too deeply.
The south sea was also home to an extremely hostile environment. Numerous natural disasters would often occur, and anyone who was caught in one would most likely meet their demise.
This hostile environment led to the north sea becoming a danger zone of the Shengzhou Continent. Normally speaking, only desperate fugitives who had offended powerful sects would be forced to escape here if they had no other option.
However, the north sea had recently become the focus of the entire Shengzhou Continent, and even all of Cangxuan Heaven.
The reason behind this was naturally the resurfacing Mythic Utopia.
The Mythic Utopia was a place of great opportunity that was unique to Cangxuan Heaven. For countless years, no one knew how many prided geniuses from the Shengzhou Continent had benefited from it. One could say that most of the current leaders and masters of the various factions in the Shengzhou Continent, had once entered the Mythic Utopia in their youth, and obtained great blessings from within. In fact, it could even be said that they would not have come so far without the Mythic Utopia.
As such, the Mythic Utopia had grown increasingly famous as years pa.s.sed, becoming the greatest desire of innumerable prided geniuses.
However, the appearance of the Mythic Utopia was always rather random, and no one could predict when it would resurface again. Hence, some luck was required for a pract.i.tioner to encounter it. After all, once a pract.i.tioner advanced to the Divine Dwelling stage, he or she would forever lose their chance to enter.
Therefore, the current generation of geniuses were clearly quite fortunate.
…
At a certain location in the south sea.
Wind blew, while clouds gathered as if a storm was approaching. The Genesis Qi in the area seemed to be in a constant state of boiling, while giant waves rose from the sea below.
In the sky above the sea, countless glowing figures were swarming over from all directions, before ultimately coming to a stop and hovering in the air.
The various factions that had heard of the Mythic Utopia’s appearance had clearly dispatched their prided geniuses here in hopes of obtaining the chance of leaping through the dragon’s gate inside.
For factions other than the six overlord sects, it was very rare for their genius disciples to achieve six heaven Divine Dwellings, and anything above was basically never heard of.
As such, the return of the Mythic Utopia gave them a lot of hope. As long as one was able to grasp enough opportunities within, and collect sufficient Mythic Genesis essence, one would be able to create a Divine Establis.h.i.+ng Treasure that may even reach the seven-color level if they were lucky. In other words, a seven heaven Divine Dwelling pract.i.tioner.
Any disciple that could achieve this would surely become an extremely important seedling to the sect, and subsequently receive only the best grooming. It could be said that such an individual had ascended the heavens in a single step.
Hence, the countless factions of Cangxuan Heaven would always move when the Mythic Utopia resurfaced.
The many groups that had arrived stared towards the front with heated gazes, where the fabric of s.p.a.ce was distorting. A spatial crack seemed to blink in and out of existence as exceedingly pure Genesis Qi leaked from within.
This spatial crack was most certainly the path into the Mythic Utopia.
With many factions gathered, it made the place appear akin to a tightly secured location. Some of the more powerful factions occupied spots nearer to the front, while the weaker factions had no choice but to be pushed further away.
However, the spots at the very front were already taken. Genesis Qi light spread, seemingly forming a boundary of sorts that disallowed entry from the other factions.
Such an act could only be described as tyrannical.
Despite this, the many factions in the area did not dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, because the four great factions at the very front were members of the Cangxuan Heaven’s six overlord sects.
The Sword Seeker Sect, the Heavenly Ghost Sect, the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall.
These were true t.i.tans that could easily sweep through the other factions of Cangxuan Heaven.
The Sword Seeker Sect members were gathered on a giant sword floating in the sky. Peerlessly sharp and deadly sword Qi faintly pulsed from the sword, causing the s.p.a.ce around them to continuously be torn apart.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect gave off an eerie sensation. A flood of black mist surged around them, blotting out the sun, while piercing hisses continuously sounded from within. The hisses also made the Genesis Qi in one’s body become a little erratic.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace group was the most attention grabbing. A brightly colored flower boat was suspended in the air, with all kinds of dainty birds flying around it. However, although their members were all beautiful young ladies, no one dared to underestimate them in the slightest. The fact that the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace could become one of the six overlord sects was already more than enough evidence of their capabilities.
On the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall’s side was an enormous s.h.i.+p that was being pulled by eight green serpents. Astonis.h.i.+ng Genesis Qi undulations pulsed from the body of each serpent, clearly showing that they were no ordinary beasts.
Each of these four overlord sects had powerful presences that were far greater than any of the other factions.
