Chapter 312 Before Entering the Formation (2/2)

Nominally, the purpose of the Five Ultimate Formations was to invite Shen Lian over to the peak. However, the real objective behind the challenge was to settle the score between the Five Zhenrens of Guangqing and the most outstanding Daoist of the era, Zhenren Shen.

Several busy bodied cultivators arrived in advance to reserve a good spot or even set up their flying arc or sword gleam to get a good view of the void.

If the cultivator was highly experienced, he would be able to get a seat within a ten-mile radius of Yuhua Stage. On the other hand, lowly experienced cultivators would sit outside of a hundred-mile radius as they do not want to be involved should there be any unforeseen circumstances.

As a result of this outbreak, the event has become a major happening in the world of cultivation. After all, the number of these cultivators, regardless of their cultivation experience, were in the thousands.

The gleam released by these thousands of cultivators took the spotlight of the stars in the sky.

Looking up from the ground, people would have mistaken the gleams as sky lanterns floating in the void. It was a stunning scene.

A floating white cloud could be seen at the edge of the blue sky. Under the clear sky of stars, the cloud was really eye-catching. An old Daoist and Daoist nun were peacefully seated on the cloud. They possessed an air of celestialism and had a star-like gaze, they did not show signs of old age.

They were followed by ten or more sword gleams and those obviously belonged to their disciples.

Several knowledgeable cultivators recognized the old Daoist and Daoist nun and saluted them from afar. Apparently the two old Daoist and Daoist nun were the two Doyens of Qinshan who had been cultivating for over five hundred years. They were equally as famous as Daoist Baishi and have extremely strong mana.

Moreover, the two Doyens of Qinshan were Dao partners and have always been together and mastered the same Dao techniques. Legend had it that they have dealt with immortal Zhenren without acquiring so much as a scratch. No one knew if that was a fact or a fib but people could not help but felt more respect for them.

Sacred Nun Qingyin was humble towards the two Doyens of Qinshan. Her five uncle-masters were occupied with the Five Ultimate Formations and thus she took the task of ushering them personally.

It seemed that the two Doyens of Qinshan were around the area. As they heard about the challenge, they decided to come and witness out of curiosity.

Qingyin was good at entertaining the guests. She was able to entertain the two Doyens with just a couple of small talks.

She then ushered the two Doyens and their disciples to a spot near Yuhua Stage. Meanwhile, Chen Mubai and several other cultivators greeted the two Doyens via telepathy.

About thirty minutes later, Shen Lian had yet to show up.

The night was about to end and in a while more, it would be considered as the second day. Some cultivators started to think that maybe Shen Lian did not have the guts to show up.

Among them, a young girl who was a disciple of the two Doyens of Qinshan impatiently said, ”Looks like he doesn't deserve the reputation of the chief of the four main Dao sects after all.”

This young girl was none other than the only daughter of the two Doyens.

Cultivators were cut off of reproductive means and it would be an unexpected fortune to have children. The two Doyens were already in their sixth or seventh hundred years and yet, they were able to conceive a daughter; that was certainly the mercy of the heavens. They had no hopes of attaining immortality and thus spoilt their daughter greatly, causing her to be so rude and arrogant.

As there was no application of sound insulation spell at the venue, every cultivator who attended the challenge, near or far, were able to hear it loud and clear.

Someone said sarcastically, ”If the four main sects do not deserve their reputation, then what about the two Doyens of Qinshan?”

Although the audiences felt that the girl was rude, no one expected someone would stand up and refute. They turned to the source of the voice, a clear ray of sword gleam appeared with bursting loud sound and in a split second, landed on Yuhua Stage.
