Chapter 607: Before the Grand Competition
On the eight cloud-piercing mountain peaks, seven of them had people standing on them. Seven of the eight considered strongest had arrived, with only Jun Moxi absent.
In the void, figures flickered over one after another. They had originally wanted to stand atop the eight main peaks, but upon seeing those seven people, their eyes tightened slightly, and they immediately abandoned the idea. Stepping through the air, they moved to the stone pillar peaks surrounding the Fallen Heaven Mountain Range.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the mountain range, a group of figures flickered and flew over. They were clearly the crowd from Dragon Mountain Empire.
Walking high in the sky, they looked down at the Fallen Heaven Mountain Range. The eight towering main peaks stood on the periphery, followed by a series of other peaks.
These peaks were like giant stone pillars reaching into the sky, arranged in a ring, spaced apart and standing there, extremely spectacular. The gaps between these stone pillar peaks seemed like bottomless cliffs.
Yet, in the very center of all these stone pillar peaks lay a vast expanse of flat land, seemingly a mountain palace, exuding a mysterious aura. Although the Fallen Heaven Mountain Range was famous in the Mysterious City, even the people of the Mysterious City had almost never set foot in the mountain palace on that flat ground. This place was like an enigma. Perhaps the Divine Palace had set foot there, but the Divine Palace itself was an enigma in the Snow Domain Mysterious City.
"What a magnificent mountain range," Lin Feng said, looking down from the void. It was too spectacular, like another world.
Looking up, the seven people on the eight main peaks were looking down at them. Lin Feng glanced at Jun Moxi beside him and said, "There's still one peak left. It seems to be reserved for you."
Jun Moxi had naturally seen that main peak as well, but he shook his head. "We can just go to any stone pillar peak."
With that, Jun Moxi stepped forward and landed on a stone pillar peak.
Lin Feng smiled, took Xiao Ya's hand, and also stepped onto the same peak. After them, Yun Feiyang, Jian Chen, Tang Youyou, and Qing Mengxin all followed and stepped up.
As for the others, the people from Tian Feng Kingdom stepped onto one peak, while others each stepped onto different stone pillar peaks. Since they had already arrived at the Fallen Heaven Mountain Range, there was no need to stay so orderly. In their view, although they all belonged to the forces of Dragon Mountain Empire, they were only here for themselves.
As the saying goes, "Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost." The Snow Domain Grand Competition was an opportunity for them. Everyone else was a stumbling block blocking their path to opportunity. Even the people from Dragon Mountain Empire were their enemies, not friends. Perhaps when they met during the Snow Domain Grand Competition, they would kill each other.
More and more people were arriving at the Fallen Heaven Mountain Range. Although the Snow Domain Grand Competition was still scheduled for tomorrow, the crowd had already started gathering here today, looking forward to this long-awaited moment. Even if they themselves were not among the participants, just watching was equally exciting.
"At this rate, these eighty-one stone pillar peaks will probably all be occupied by the crowd. Then, others will have to watch from below the cliffs."
The crowd murmured as they watched people continuously occupying the stone pillar peaks. There were too many people. In less than an hour, several thousand people had already descended upon the Fallen Heaven Mountain Range, filling up the stone pillar peaks one by one. Some domineering and powerful individuals even occupied an entire stone pillar peak by themselves, not allowing anyone else to set foot on it.
As for the seven main peaks high in the sky, no one dared to contend for them. Even though one main peak remained vacant, no one stepped onto it. Who knew what the consequences would be?
"Then there will probably be disputes again. From below the cliffs, there's no visibility at all."
Jun Moxi shook his head slightly. Wherever there were people, conflict was inevitable, especially in a situation like this.
"Get lost! What right do you have to be here?"
Jun Moxi's words had barely fallen when, from a stone pillar peak not far from them, someone shouted angrily.
The crowd slowly turned their gazes toward that stone pillar peak, and their eyes tightened slightly. It was someone familiar—the Yu family from Snow Moon Kingdom.
Yu Jian and Yu Qin, who were participating in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, were also there.
"We all came for the same purpose—to watch the Snow Domain Grand Competition. Why must we fight over it? Wouldn't it be better to watch together?"
The people who had been scolded had unpleasant expressions on their faces, but one of them still spoke patiently.
"Hmph, you came to watch the Snow Domain Grand Competition, but my Yu family has two people participating in it. Can you compare? Get lost!"
Yu Liushui stepped forward, extremely domineering, and a powerful aura surged toward that person.
"Participating in the Snow Domain Grand Competition?"
Those people's eyes tightened as they took a deep look at the two young men among the Yu family crowd. Indeed, these two young men seemed quite strong. Everyone flickered and retreated, leaving that stone pillar peak.
Yu Liushui's eyes showed a hint of pride. Being able to bring two geniuses from the family to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition—what an honor this was.
"Yu Jian, Yu Qin, although there are many strong participants in this Grand Competition, as long as you two stick together and fight together, keeping a low profile in the first round, there should be no problem. Do your best in the second round. In the third round, just standing on that stage is already an honor. When we return to Snow Moon Kingdom, besides Crown Prince Duan Wudao, the world will be yours."
Yu Liushui spoke earnestly to the two juniors of the family. Yu Qin and Yu Jian both nodded. They also realized that their strength really didn't amount to much among the many geniuses participating in the Grand Competition. But there were two of them. As long as they were careful and kept a low profile, they should be fine. They hoped to encounter some opportunities in this first round.
"You're overestimating them. Their world? Ridiculous."
A cold voice came over. Teng Wuyao and Wu Qing walked forward together, also arriving at that stone pillar peak, looking coldly at the Yu family people.
"Don't forget, Wu Qing is ranked third among the Eight Young Masters of Snow Moon. Yu Qin and Yu Jian are only fifth and last respectively."
"Hmph, that ranking no longer means anything. We'll see after the Snow Domain Grand Competition." Yu Liushui snorted coldly.
"Tianming, if you encounter them, do you have absolute confidence in victory?"
A voice came from behind them, causing Yu Liushui and Teng Wuyao's pupils to tighten. They turned around to see Yue Qingshan walking over, his eyes filled with coldness. This Yue Qingshan was also quite arrogant.
Yue Tianming glanced at Wu Qing and the Yu brothers, then nodded faintly. "If I encounter them, they won't have the slightest chance."
"Arrogant nonsense." Wu Qing snorted coldly, his whole body exuding a wild, bestial aura.
"Originally, my opponent was Lin Feng, but unfortunately, he disappeared. As for you, I've never taken you seriously."
Yue Tianming said coldly, causing Lin Feng, who was nearby, to feel a chill in his heart. Disappeared? He wouldn't let Yue Tianming down. Likewise, he wouldn't let Yue Qingshan down.
If Yue Qingshan saw his grandson defeating his son, what would he feel?
Back then, Yue Qingshan had even wanted Yue Tianming to compete with him for Xinye.
In this Snow Domain Grand Competition, if he encountered the people from Snow Moon Kingdom, all those Snow Moon people would be trampled under his feet. His target was not the geniuses of Snow Moon, but the powerful geniuses of the empires.
He had an agreement with Duan Wuya. Their goal this time was a spot in the top nine of the Snow Domain Grand Competition.
As if sensing Lin Feng's gaze, the people on that stone pillar peak turned their gazes toward Lin Feng's side.
"What are you looking at? You useless waste. To be alive and participating in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, you're really lucky."
Yu Jian's eyes were like swords, spitting out sharp words. Both Wu Qing and Yue Tianming were ranked above him, which made him very unhappy. Just then, he happened to see Lin Feng, so he vented his displeasure.
"Your luck might not be that great."
Lin Feng sneered, then stopped looking at Yu Jian. This made Yu Jian's eyes tighten, and killing intent flickered. This Lin Feng really didn't know when to die.
"Why bother arguing with someone like that? Today, let's rest well on this stone pillar peak and recharge our energy. A day will pass in the blink of an eye."
Yun Feiyang smiled faintly, then sat cross-legged on the stone pillar peak, closing his eyes to rest.
"Indeed." Lin Feng nodded slightly, then also sat cross-legged, entering a meditative state, not speaking or listening, his heart as still as water.
