Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
As the date for the opening of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain grew closer, more and more people gathered in this special region. There were geniuses from all areas, a chaotic mix of fish and dragons.
The people of the Wan Clan brought their humility with them as they wandered around, wanting to witness the splendor of a major city.
Qin Wentian quietly waited in the inn, he would occasionally cultivate, and occasionally enjoy the beauties walking up and down the streets, while occasionally listening to the beautiful music, living a life of relaxation.
Finally, a piece of news circulated over, causing a commotion in this region.
It’s said that Princess Nongyue has already arrived at the entrance of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, she brought a group of experts and was already preparing for a banquet for all of those who wished to enter. There would be a qualifications test to see who is capable enough.
Just as the rumors stated, the gathering this time around, Princess Nongyue was in charge of it.
This time, all the various geniuses here would be able to witness the splendor of Princess Nongyue.
This naturally is a thing which fills others with anticipation. The Darknorth Immortal Dynasty ruled this area, and the princess is a daughter of the empire, with towering amounts of authority and a beautiful face. It was unknown how many wanted to look at her beauty and there were even many among them who were having a sweet fantasy, thinking that they might be able to gain her favor, and become the prince consort of the empire in the future.
Although this wasn’t a realistic fantasy, it was enough to make one mesmerized. It was truly a wonderful imagination.
Today, a group of powerful experts in black appeared in the airspace above this region. All of them exuded sharpness, and were immortal kings.
"The entrance to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain is opened. Princess Nongyue has organized a banquet to welcome the geniuses from all regions. For those who wish to enter the mountain as well as those who escorted the geniuses of your sects and clans here, you all can enjoy the hospitality of the princess." A thunderous voice echoed out, shaking the entire region.

Qin Wentian, Zhiyin and Wan Zhuqing were together. When they inclined their heads, they saw Wan Qingshan already leading the rest of the Wan Clan to fly over.
"Let’s go!"
"Go, go..."
Numerous voices rang out, echoing through the air as everyone in the inn prepared to set off.
"We should leave too." Wan Zhuqing spoke, and a moment later, the three of them soared into the air, following after the Wan Clan. Although both sides had deep conflict, they decided to settle all this later. Right now, there’s nothing more important than sending Wan Miaoyan, Zhiyin and the others to enter the Darknorth Immortal Mountain.
"There are so many people." Qin Wentian glanced at the inconceivable amounts of people. The scale of this banquet definitely exceeded the birthday celebration of the Fallen Devil Emperor back in the Myriad Devil Islands by several times. After all, there were no restrictions and everyone in the region could attend the banquet.
Even if this is merely a portion of people who came every ten years, the number was simply terrifyingly astronomical.
"To think that the host for this banquet would actually be Beiming Nongyue." Qin Wentian smiled. He came all the way to the northern regions to cultivate and fate immediately arranged an acquaintance for him to meet. How coincidental.
The Darknorth Immortal Mountain was located in a vast mountain range of laws. Nobody knew how that mountain range was formed but ever since the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty was established, they hurriedly took control over this place and set rules to open it once every ten years, drawing countless geniuses over, increasing the prestige of their empire.
They would naturally organize a banquet for such a grand gathering. By doing so, they could show geniuses from the other areas of the immortal realms how great and prosperous the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty was. And even use the chance to draw future cultivators to join their dynasty army, boosting their strength.
Qin Wentian’s countenance flashed, flying through the air with the rest of them. His gaze finally landed on an incomparably vast and majestic mountain range. That place, should be where the Darknorth Immortal Mountain is located.
The Darknorth Immortal Mountain naturally wasn’t just a single mountain, it was all the mountains here in this mountain range.
Although he already saw the mountain range, the distance there was still very far apart. After flying for sometime, all of them finally flew to the boundary of this region. Before them, guards from the Darknorth Army could be seen, they were surrounding a huge space, where numerous tables and chairs are set to welcome the geniuses from all directions.
The crowd sped up, entering the banquet, while staring at the Darknorth Immortal Mountain Range ahead.
At the front most area of this banquet, there was a stage formed from ninety-nine stairs. Above the stage, there were many seats for major characters of the immortal dynasty and at the upper most tier, a black throne could be seen there. Upon sitting there, one could see everything down below, every inch of this banquet.
That throne, was naturally the seat for Princess Nongyue.
More and more experts arrived, joining the banquet, casually finding seats and sitting down. Many of those who came from major powers all gathered together, wanting to occupy a good spot, sitting in a location close to Princess Nongyue.
There were also many who were already discussing about the fact that now, they could already see the real entrance of the Darknorth Immortal Mountains. This time around, they wondered if Princess Nongyue would select those qualified to enter, or would she allow everyone to go in. However, the latter case was extremely rare, if everyone were to enter the Darknorth Mountain Range, the entire place would be extremely chaotic and would affect those who truly needed to enter the place for their cultivation.
Hence, a limit on the number of people entering, still had to be set.
Qin Wentian and the rest of the Wan Clan landed, they too found a pretty good location. Wan Yiyao then sighed, "So many experts here, our Skyflame City is truly too small. In the future, I don’t even wish to go back."
"Yiyao, having such thoughts are good. This world is extremely vast and after Princess Nongyue arrived, only when you see her demeanor would you understand what a character at the very peak is. In fact, the age of the princess might be even younger than you." Wan Qingshan smiled. The people of the Wan Clan were visibly emotionally stirred, they were filled with a slight nervousness.
Only Wan Yiming and Wan Miaoyan’s eyes flashed with anticipation. This time around, the trip to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain was a great opportunity for them. They had to enter no matter what.
"Young master Duanmu is there." At this moment, Wan Yiyao suddenly exclaimed. Not far from them the young master of the Duanmu Clan, whom they met in the inn before, could be seen standing there. He was extremely dazzling, like the moon surrounded by stars. It was like he was the focal point of the crowd.
"Young master Duanmu is a dragon among humans, that’s someone with true status. Miaoyan, let’s hope that one day, either you or your husband would become characters of this level." Wan Qingshan stared at his daughter as he spoke, filled with anticipation.
"We should go over and greet them." A gentle smile appeared on Wan Yiyao’s face.
"Right." Wan Qingshan nodded.
They were clearly people of different levels but Wan Qingshan still wanted to do such a thing. When Qin Wentian saw this, he could only shake his head lightly. Human nature was as such, currying favor with those in power.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We pay our respects to young master Duanmu." The people of the Wan Clan walked over. The young man from the Duanmu Clan turned around, his expression was calm, exuding a faint hint of arrogance. He glanced at the Wan Clan and in here, the only one whom he felt wasn’t bad, was the beauty Wan Miaoyan.
"You guys came here for the Darknorth Immortal Mountain too?" Young master Duanmu asked.
"Mhm, this is my daughter, Wan Miaoyan. This time around, we came here to send her and my nephew to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain." Wan Qingshan respectfully replied.
The young master Duanmu glanced at Wan Miaoyan, only to see a rare smile also appearing on her face, as she nodded to him.
"Miss Miaoyan’s aura is extraordinary. There’s naturally no problem. You guys can just sit here." Young master Duanmu waved his hand and spoke.
"Many thanks young master Duanmu." Wan Qingshan respectfully replied. Being able to have a faint connection with a character of this level was an extremely glorious thing to him.
Several people in the surroundings surveyed the Wan Clan. These people naturally were acquainted with young master Duanmu and were all from the royal capital. Also, their backgrounds weren’t bad. They were naturally clear of his intention, given his status, how would he lower himself to speak to these people? Most probably, he wanted to court the beauty. If he had a chance to play her, wouldn’t that be wonderful? He naturally wouldn’t mind it and it’s the Wan Clan who offered themselves up on a platter to him.
"Duanmu, your luck with the ladies isn’t bad. Who is this beauty?" From afar, a young man naturally already knew the answer but he still asked.
"Mu Qiu, stop your nonsense. I just got acquainted with lady Miaoyan." Duanmu stared at the person as he replied.
"Haha, such a beautiful woman. She matches you perfectly, why don’t you just marry her?" Mu Qiu laughed. After that, he glanced at the Wan Clan, "Naturally, you still have to seek the opinion of her clan members."
The tone of this young man was extremely frivolous, intentionally sounding polite as though it was filled with respect. If it was someone ordinary who said that, the Wan Clan might be unhappy, but this person who spoke was a character on the same level as young master Duanmu. Since that was the case, things were different. In fact, even a wild surge of pride appeared in Wan Qingshan’s heart.
"I also hope my daughter would manage to find a good husband." Wan Qingshan’s face was pretty thick, he wasn’t tactful at all. Wan Miaoyan was in fact, somewhat bashful. She stared at Wan Qingshan, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about."
"Naturally nothing but the truth." Wan Qingshan smiled.
Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to laugh softly. This family truly was...extremely melodramatic.
Wan Qingshan had a completely different attitude when facing him, exactly the same as Wan Miaoyan. But before this young master Duanmu, their personalities seemed to have taken a 180 degree turn.
Could it be that they couldn’t tell what the true meaning hidden behind the words spoken by the young man Mu Qiu was? To people with status like them, this was nothing but a game.
Naturally, only those watching calmly from the side would be clear of what the true situation was. For those from the Wan Clan, each of them felt that this was an opportunity for their clan to rise up. There was only excitement and anticipation in their hearts!
