The day was just beginning The Wanxiang Adepts ere scattered in residences throughout the imperial capital, as well as the 3600towards the imperial citadel
“So , Yu Wei, and the Sloppy Daoist were currently flying together shoulder-to-shoulder on a cloud towards the imperial capital
“Junior apprentice-brother, where are the others?” The Sloppy Daoist seemed to have just woken up He asked, puzzled, “Why haven’t junior apprentice-brother Vastriver and the others shown up?”
Ning laughed, “Junior apprentice-brother Northson and senior apprentice-brother Vastriver have gone to go join with the ation from Stillwater Co over this Conclave, and delegations have come from all 3600 commanderies to pay their respects to his Iside the Stillwater delegation; otherwise, they won’t even be able to enter the imperial citadel”
“Oh” The Sloppy Daoist nodded, now understanding “I thought anyone anted to go watch could just go in and watch”
“Senior apprentice-brother, all you ever do is train You should at least read soence reports,” Yu Wei said helplessly “How can just anyone come and watch the Conclave of Immortal Destiny? Do you think the imperial citadel is just a place anyone can enter?”
“Well, I’, so…” the Sloppy Daoist scratched his head, grinning
Ning explained, “There are three types of people who are entering the i Adepts like us; because we are going to risk our lives in battle, we can just go in directly The second type consists of the delegations that are led by the various o pay their respects to his Imperial Majesty The third type consists of the likes of Celestial I Yan, who can take Princess Xiyue directly into the citadel As for others? There ures who can enter the citadel, but I wouldn’t know anything about that”
The Sloppy Daoist nodded in understanding
Right at this h the clouds and arrived at a large street In the distance, they could see those four massive FiendGods that were thirty thousand ates to the imperial citadel
Whoooooosh One squad after another of Iroups of two or three, or in giant delegations All of the towards the imperial citadel
However, the gates to the imperial citadel remained shut
Soon, Ning’s group arrived as well, and they landed
“So many people” The Sloppy Daoist looked around at his surroundings A vast, tightly packed cluster of athered outside the imperial citadel Some were here to participate in the Conclave, but most were here to spectate A steady, unbroken stream of Immortal cultivators continued to descend from the heavens
“Weout, the citadel gates will open,” Ning said
They waited for nearly two hours The Golden Crow had already risen high into the sky, and the light of the sun shone down upon the entire imperial capital
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Nine consecutive gongs rang out The sound wasthe athered outside the imperial citadel to all quiet down

The tall gates of the i open The four massive FiendGods stared down at the , fire-skinned FiendGod, spoke out: “Wanxiang Adepts ish to participate in the Conclave of Immortal Destiny, you can now enter the imperial capital If you enter, then you must participate in the Conclave; there will be no chance to change your mind You may now enter!”
Instantly, with a series of whooshes, a vast locust swarates, blocking out the skies as they did so
“How many people is this?!” The Sloppy Daoist’s eyes were completely round
“Norenerally have twenty or thirty thousand coh “In this Conclave…since his I it, this Conclave is extraordinarily special, and I estihly a hundred thousand or so” Much of this infor via his cousin
“On average, each commandery has sent thirty individuals?” The Sloppy Daoist pondered on this “It seeh 99 of the formidable elites of the world have all come”
“This Conclave of Immortal Destiny is different from normal ones,” Yu Wei said
As they flew into the ihfare
“Those who shall participate in the Conclave of I voice shook the heavens Up ahead, a squad of I the way
They followed the wide thoroughfare and quickly arrived at an incoe that one couldn’t see to the end of it with the naked eye alone It was paved with pitch-black stones, and the pavestones were all covered with incomparably co it to e aura
“Those who shall participate in the Conclave are all to wait in this region,” the Imperial Guards up ahead instructed
Aleniuses and talents from around the world had ever been in the imperial capital They were all rather awestruck, and they behaved obediently, all ion
Whoosh!+
The I a periion They stood there with blank faces, notat all These Imperial Guards also knew that today, his I to be personally hosting the Conclave of Immortal Destiny It was rare for Imperial Guards like them to encounter his Imperial Majesty; how could they not be extremely earnest and serious today?
“I iine that this plaza is at least ten thousand kilometers wide” The chubby Sloppy Daoist lowered his heads, inspecting the runes “And it contains an extre formation, one that vastly surpasses any I have ever sensed”
