At the Cang Clan's sleeping quarters, Lin Feng and Langxie stood outside the palace, gazing into the distance. They saw several figures walking by the lake in front of the palace, led by Cang Xiao.
After a moment, Cang Xiao arrived before Langxie and Lin Feng, showing a smile to Langxie as he said, "The Guanghan Palace has appeared, in the Cold Moon Lake."
"Let's go." Langxie nodded, then stepped forward and vanished with Cang Xiao and the others. Lin Feng turned back to look at the sleeping quarters, where a beautiful figure stood by the window gazing in his direction.
Lin Feng nodded slightly to Qiu Yuexin, then followed Langxie and the others as they stepped into the air and departed. After he disappeared, the smile faded from Qiu Yuexin's face, replaced by a look of worry.
"It's getting stronger. Is she about to appear?" A trace of merciless intent emanated from Qiu Yuexin, as if she could no longer suppress it.
Cold Moon Lake was located within Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, a massive lake shaped like the moon with icy cold water, hence its name. At this moment, on the shores of Cold Moon Lake, many figures descended one after another, gazing at the continuous palace halls that had appeared in the lake as if born from nothing.
A pavilion faced the lakeshore, within which beautiful maidens danced gracefully, shrouded in misty aura, exuding a dreamlike beauty.
"The Guanghan Palace — how many love it, how many hate it. Knowing full well the danger within, generation after generation of outstanding talents still risk their lives to enter." Someone on the shore sighed. This Guanghan Palace had caused countless exceptional juniors to fall into its depths, unable to extricate themselves. Many were filled with curiosity about it.
Suddenly, the sound of a zither arose. The crowd saw a figure sitting atop a cloud in the distance, playing the zither. The melody was elegant, as if complementing the dance in the pavilion.
"Zither Grief Young Master." The crowd immediately recognized this graceful young man. Although Zither Grief Young Master's cultivation was not strong and he had not yet become an Emperor, he was already famous in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital.
Zither Grief descended to the lakeshore, his ten fingers plucking the zither as he smiled and said, "The Guanghan Fairy Maiden dances. I wonder if Zither Grief is fortunate enough to enter the pavilion and enjoy the view together."
A light laugh came from the pavilion, followed by a voice responding to Zither Grief's words: "Young Master, do not be impatient. The fairy maiden in the palace is still dressing. When an ancient boat arrives, it will go to the shore to welcome the young masters into the pavilion to share the wind and moon."
"Very well, then Zither Grief will wait here." Zither Grief's expression was gentle, his smile unchanged, the zither music continuing without end. Moments later, a killing intent bloomed in the void, causing the crowd to feel a sense of desolation between heaven and earth.
"Bai Qi of the Bai Clan has also arrived." The crowd recognized this person. The reappearance of the Guanghan Palace in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital would surely alarm many ancient aristocratic families. These younger generation members had come first to scout the way.
The killing intent gradually receded, and the void suddenly became scorching hot. The crowd looked up to the sky, where a figure shone like the sun, so dazzling that looking at him made one's eyes sting slightly. His radiance was ten thousandfold, as if he were the master of heaven and earth.
"Even someone from the Sun Saint Clan has arrived." Zither Grief stared at his own ancient zither, speaking softly, as if he didn't need to look to know who it was.
"Since the Guanghan Palace has appeared, naturally I came to see it." The young man in the void spoke with a rolling voice, standing there in the air, brilliant and resplendent.
From the northern direction, a figure in gray robes slowly approached, as if his entire body was shrouded within. He stood among the crowd, silent and unnoticed, revealing nothing.
"The Ancient Wu Clan — since when did they become interested in the fairy maidens of the Guanghan Palace?" The young man of the Sun Saint Clan in the void looked down, gazing at the gray-robed figure with a faint smile on his lips.
The gray-robed figure raised his head, then removed his gray hood, revealing his delicate features. He was very young, with fair skin, handsome and refined like a scholarly youth, with a shallow smile on his face that seemed very sunny. Yet this person was a strong one of the Ancient Wu Clan, skilled in exotic abilities.
"That one from the Chu Clan has also arrived. His aura has been restrained to this degree — he could probably break into the Martial Emperor Realm at any moment." The crowd looked at a young man walking on the ground, speaking quietly. This person was a rare genius of the Chu Clan, capable of devouring ancient emperor wills. Although he had not yet become an Emperor, he was already extremely famous.
"The Cang Clan has also arrived." The crowd turned their gaze to another direction, where Cang Xiao, Langxie, and Lin Feng's group had arrived.
"Who is that beside Cang Xiao? His gaze is deep — he is definitely not of the Cang Clan." Many people cast their eyes on Langxie, thinking to themselves. When the young man of the Chu Clan looked at Langxie, a dazzling, extraordinary light bloomed in his eyes — a king body of the Ancient Realm Clan had come out to explore.
"Look over there?" Moments later, the crowd turned their gaze to the distance, where a young figure approached from afar. This person wore a seven-colored long robe, and around him seemed to coil rings of dazzling light, like ancient seals, mysterious and endless, causing the crowd's pupils to contract slightly — these were the ancient seal rings of the Dugu Clan.
"He is Dugu Bubai." Few in the crowd had seen this person before, but the moment he appeared, everyone knew who he was. Although Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital was vast and boundless, there were only a few ancient saint clan forces, and those with king bodies were even rarer. Dugu Bubai was one of those with a king body — the Divine Seal King Body. It was said that once he stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm, three thousand six hundred ancient seals would coil around him, capable of destroying everything.
Besides these individuals, many other outstanding talents descended one after another to the lakeshore, though they were not as dazzling as those who had come before.
Among these people, if one were to discuss reputation, the one from the Chu Clan and the Divine Seal King Body were the most prominent. Cang Xiao, Zither Grief Young Master, and Bai Qi were slightly inferior. The young man of the Sun Saint Clan in the void was not from Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, so the crowd knew little about him. As for the handsome young man of the Ancient Wu Clan, the crowd also knew little, unaware of his actual strength.
As for Langxie and Lin Feng, no one recognized them at all. Probably the only one who knew Langxie was that person from the Chu Clan.
Lin Feng stood beside Langxie, gazing at the surrounding figures. His heart was quite stirred. Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital truly lived up to its reputation as one of the eighteen main cities of Qingxiao Land. Although these most dazzling youths had not yet broken into the Martial Emperor Realm, it was foreseeable that their future achievements would be terrifying. Moreover, there were probably many outstanding individuals in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital who had not yet arrived. Additionally, at the Martial Emperor Realm and above, there must be many powerful and fearsome younger generation members.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt a surge of passion. Only when geniuses emerge in great numbers could it better stimulate his determination to become a strong one. From the positions where these people stood, it was clear that none submitted to any other, all vaguely confronting each other. Because they understood that being born into powerful families, only by standing out among many peers, trampling others to rise, could one become the most dazzling existence. Everyone wanted to be among the strongest few, not lagging behind others.
The dance continued. Suddenly, a beautiful woman walked to the side of the ancient pavilion in the lake. Her bright eyes and white teeth were charming, her smile moving. Her body lightly leaped, and then she stepped onto the ancient boat in the lake before the pavilion.
The lake water rippled as she rode the boat, slowly moving toward the shore. Moments later, she arrived at the lakeside.
Reaching the shore, the woman's beautiful eyes looked at the crowd on the bank. She smiled and said, "In ancient times, there was the number nine. This ancient boat can only carry nine people at a time. Excluding little me, that leaves only eight spots. I wonder which eight young masters will board the boat."
"Carrying nine at a time — can the boat make several trips?" Someone asked the beautiful woman.
The woman smiled and shook her head, saying, "The fairy maidens in my Guanghan Palace are not many, so we cannot entertain too many people. Thus, today there is only this one boat. I hope all young masters will forgive me."
Upon hearing this, the crowd's pupils contracted slightly. What a Guanghan Palace — appearing on the first day, it would already select people to enter. With only eight spots, many knew they had no hope. There were countless outstanding young talents here, many born into ancient clans or even ancient saint clans. How could it be their turn?
"Sun Saint Clan, Yang Yan." The Sun Saint Clan member stepped forward, directly descending onto the ancient boat, claiming a spot.
"Chu Clan, Chu Chunqiu." The young man of the Chu Clan stepped forward, his figure drifting onto the ancient boat.
"Dugu Clan, Dugu Bubai." The Divine Seal King Body stepped forward, descending onto the ancient boat, taking a seat.
"Ancient Wu Clan — just call me Ancient Wu." The handsome young man of the Ancient Wu Clan lightly landed on the ancient boat. In just a brief moment, four had already boarded the boat simultaneously.
No one forcefully rushed up ahead of others. Many had self-awareness — even if they did go up, they might be blasted down.
"Let's go." Langxie said softly, and then the three of them simultaneously stepped from the lakeshore onto the ancient boat. They were Langxie, Lin Feng, and Cang Xiao.
This scene caused the crowd's expressions to freeze slightly. Zither Grief put away his zither and exchanged a glance with Bai Qi. It seemed there were no positions left for the two of them on this boat. How interesting.
The two stepped forward one after another, landing on the boat. Counting the beautiful woman from the Guanghan Palace, there were now ten people on the boat — one too many.
"All young masters, there is one extra person." The beautiful woman from the Guanghan Palace smiled lightly, her voice soft. These people before her were all outstanding youths — they would handle it themselves.
Many eyes turned to Langxie and Lin Feng. These two were the most unfamiliar. Many even felt somewhat unconvinced — these two strangers had both boarded, while on the lakeshore, there were still young people from some ancient clans.
Yang Yan and the others also cast their eyes on Langxie and Lin Feng. These two had come with Cang Xiao, but one of them had to leave.
"The Cang Clan is taking too many spots." Yang Yan said lightly. Other forces each had only one person — how could the Cang Clan occupy three spots?
"Ancient Realm Clan, Langxie!" Langxie spoke calmly, causing the crowd's pupils to violently contract. So he was from the Ancient Realm Clan.
"Langxie of the Ancient Realm Clan's Realm King Body!" A sharp light flashed in Yang Yan's eyes, causing the crowd's hearts to tremble again. So Langxie was actually a Realm King Body. With this, no one dared to question his right to occupy a spot!
