Chapter 1523: Celestial Elites

Ximo Lingshan was solemn and peaceful. It stood like a great Buddha, with divine light in myriad strands and Buddhist radiance illuminating everywhere. The sound of grand bells and drums resounded through the air.

This was a holy mountain of Buddhism. Legend had it that Fo Di once meditated here and comprehended the supreme Buddhist dharma. From that time on, Buddhist followers regarded this mountain as a sacred place of Buddhism, kneeling in devout worship every day.

It was the symbol of Ximo, like an ancient Buddha standing on this land, praying for all beings, receiving the power of their thoughts, and widely spreading Buddhist teachings, promoting Buddhist Zen from here.

The sky had just brightened, and Lingshan was already thronged with people, all because Shijia was about to lecture on the dharma here. People from all directions came in admiration, to listen to the dharma and honor the great Buddhist emperor.

Outside Lingshan, crowds surged as well. Upon closer inspection, a great battle was underway, with thunderous booms shaking the heavens.

One side was the demon clan's crown prince, like a world-dominating demon king, with feet on the demon sea and back against the barbaric wilderness.

The other side was the Thunder Battle Body, like a war god, overlooking the heavens and earth.

The two battled with immense fluctuations, accompanied by heavenly thunder, deafening and making even the heavens and earth pale.

"That is the Thunder Battle Body?" The cultivators who arrived later all gazed at the battle body with shining eyes from afar."Indeed, his aura swallows mountains and rivers.""Xuanhuang Continent, talents emerge in succession!""I really underestimated him."

In the void on one side, the Shen clan divine child sneered, his eyes full of mockery."In this king's eyes, he is nothing."The Mo clan divine child scoffed, his murderous aura overwhelming.

"Imperial brother, that battle body is not simple!" On one side of the crowd, a woman in white clothes spoke lightly.

This woman, if Ye Chen were here, would definitely recognize her—was she not Fengxian of the Phoenix clan?

She had come as well, and the imperial brother she mentioned was undoubtedly the Phoenix clan's divine child.

The Phoenix divine child sneered mockingly, his divine body powerful and overlooking the heavens and earth."I can extinguish him with a lift of my hand."

"They are all just clowning around." Even more arrogant was the Xian clan divine child, laughing mockingly and playfully, like an immortal king ruling over the nine heavens, his immortal eyes profound and boundless, overlooking all directions.

"As in the previous life, his qi covers the eight desolations." Ye Chen had arrived, full of smiles. The Thunder Battle Body battling the demon clan's divine child—at this moment, he was extremely certain that the battle body was the reincarnated Xiao Chen.

The son of the War King was absolutely a peak existence in his hometown, on par with the various kings of Great Chu throughout the generations. When the heavenly demons invaded, he defended with his blood and, in near-sublimation, met a glorious end.

Whether in Great Chu or in Xuanhuang, the son of the War King did not disgrace the reputation of his ancestors.

Ye Chen smiled contentedly; Xiao Chen indeed brought glory to Great Chu. The bloodline of the battle body was overbearingly unmatched, its divine treasury vast and majestic, making even his Archaic Saint Blood stir—it was quite extraordinary.

Xiao Chen's cultivation was quite gratifying; he was at the Shengren level. This talent was absolutely heaven-defying.

Looking again at the demon clan's crown prince, that fellow was attacking fiercely with a ferocious face and had also advanced to Shengren, completely fusing his origin and divine treasury. His combat power far surpassed that of the ancient ruins in the past.

"You're far from it." Ye Chen sneered, full of confidence in Xiao Chen, enough to crush the opponent.

He did not immediately unseal for Xiao Chen but looked elsewhere.

Quite a few acquaintances had come. In the crowd, he saw the Shen clan divine child and the Mo clan divine child and others.

Upon meeting again, former great enemies had all advanced to Shengren, and their combat power had skyrocketed.

When he saw the Phoenix divine child and Fengxian, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Especially toward Fengxian, he could no longer suppress his killing intent.

If not for her, there wouldn't have been the successive bloody battles at the Yaochi grand meeting, Eastern Wasteland ancient city, and ancient ruins.

It was she who sent messages to Jinwu and Kunpeng, intercepting his old friends in the Southern Domain, inviting greater calamity. Kunpeng and Jinwu went mad, creating great slaughter, and many reincarnated people died because of it.

"Plotting against me time and again, since you've come today, don't think about leaving." Ye Chen snorted coldly.

He had made up his mind to kill Fengxian. Because of her, he had given face to the Phoenix clan and held back several times, but the other party still acted recklessly. Since that was the case, they must pay the price in blood.

More and more people gathered, and quite a few of his old friends had also come, such as the Di family's Ninth Immortal.

She seemed to never grow up, still in the appearance of a young girl.

The people by her side all felt unnatural; this little girl was quite ferocious.

The youngest Shengren in Xuanhuang, the first to dare chase and kill the Southern Emperor.

She did not notice the strange gazes around her, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Xiao Chen."He's quite handsome!"

Ye Chen glanced at Little Ninth Immortal and then turned his eyes elsewhere, spotting the Long clan divine child, Wu clan divine child, Man clan divine child, Gu clan divine daughter, and Ling clan divine daughter, all coming in a group.

The five of them were like a string; people of Xuanhuang all knew it.

As long as the Long clan divine child was there, the Ling clan divine daughter would follow behind him. When the Ling clan divine daughter arrived, the Wu clan divine child would be next, then the Gu clan divine daughter, and the Man clan divine child, that big guy, would definitely be there.

"Yaochi, why didn't she come?" The Long clan divine child glanced around with his dragon eyes, not seeing his admired Eastern God Yaochi, a bit disappointed—it seemed he came in vain.

"What Yaochi? I alone am enough." The Ling clan divine daughter pouted, full of jealousy.

"Long Jie, you bastard, go home—you're everywhere." The Wu clan divine child had a dark face.

"If you say that again, believe it or not, I'll beat you." The Ling clan divine daughter glared fiercely at the Wu clan divine child.

"Don't scare him—my temper isn't good either, grandma." The Gu clan divine daughter wasn't happy.

"As if your temper is good."

"Fighting, I'm not afraid." The Man clan divine child stepped forward, his big build very eye-catching.

"You, get aside." The Wu clan divine child scolded loudly.

"Hey!"

On the other side, the battle was fierce, and here the gunpowder was strong as well.

The people from all sides watched and twitched their mouths; this group of divine children and divine daughters really knew how to play, each one quirky.

Ye Chen also wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he didn't pay much attention, still looking at all directions. In the crowd, he found the Hun clan divine child and the Chimera clan divine child—without exception, all were his enemies.

What made him most wary was the ethereal nothingness; a black shadow faintly appeared.

That was the Jimi Shen Ti; he had also come, appearing and disappearing like a dragon, hard to guard against.

Zhong Huang had also come, disguised, concealing his aura and bloodline, standing in the crowd.

There was also Xi Zun, showing his true appearance, with a dignified treasure look, and the Buddhist halo behind his head very bright.

After Xi Zun, there was a woman of unparalleled elegance, the number one beauty of Xuanhuang's Northern Yue.

That was Bei Sheng; as soon as she appeared, she attracted attention from all sides. Her appearance was not inferior to Yaochi.

Sighs arose immediately; before the ancient ruins, the world all thought Xuanhuang's Bei Sheng was a man. If not for the Holy Body's accidental discovery, no one would know that Bei Sheng was a woman and, moreover, a peerless beauty.

Ye Chen coughed dryly, feeling uncomfortable all over, thinking of that night when he stripped Bei Sheng naked—it was embarrassing.

"Eh? Xuanwu Crown Prince?" While Ye Chen was coughing, someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing this, Ye Chen put away his embarrassed thoughts and looked to one side; four figures had come together.

Indeed, it was Xuanwu; by his side were the White Tiger Crown Prince, Azure Dragon Crown Prince, and Vermilion Bird Princess.

Ye Chen was surprised; the myriad clans of the Southern Domain had mostly returned to their ancestral lands, but unexpectedly, they had also come out, like Kui Niu and the others, probably to gain experience. Without wind and rain, how can one grow?

The four also attracted attention from all sides; they were all crown princes and princesses of great clans, with ancestors who had produced great emperors. Which one isn't a fierce character? Wherever they go, they bring their own glory—their backgrounds are indeed very strong.

The White Tiger and Xuanwu Crown Princes were fine, but the Azure Dragon Crown Prince and Vermilion Bird Princess had unpleasant expressions.

The Azure Dragon Crown Prince was looking at the Long clan divine child; one is Azure Dragon, the other is Azure Dragon—their ancestors are both the primordial ancestral dragon, but they are two bloodline branches. From ancient times, there have been grudges, and not shallow ones.

As for the Vermilion Bird Princess, she coldly glanced at the Phoenix divine child and Fengxian; they also share the same ancestor, that is the primordial Yuan Feng. From ancient times, there have been grudges among them.

Ye Chen chuckled and fixed his gaze on a purple-robed youth stepping through the sky.

That was the Qilin Crown Prince, also known as the Southern Emperor.

He had also come, successfully advancing to Shengren, and did not follow the Qilin clan back to their ancestral land.

His arrival made Bei Sheng very awkward.

In the ancient ruins that day, because of that bastard Ye Chen, the Southern Emperor was beaten up for no reason.

"After this is over, let's chat." The Southern Emperor smiled at Bei Sheng.

"What's there to chat about? No time." Bei Sheng directly retorted, her temper explosive at first glance.

"I have time—let's chat." Little Ninth Immortal giggled, her big eyes blinking.

"You little girl, I haven't settled accounts with you yet?" The Southern Emperor glanced at Little Ninth Immortal. That day at the Kunlun Banquet in the Central State, he was chased by Di Ninth Immortal all the way, very humiliating.

No way, at that time he was a quasi-Shengren, and Di Ninth Immortal was a Shengren—he couldn't win, so he had to run.

Now, both were Shengren, so he must get his face back.

Hmm, Little Ninth Immortal didn't mind; when it comes to fighting, she had never backed down—who fears whom!

Ye Chen was still scanning the heavens; Xi Zun, Southern Emperor, Bei Sheng, and Zhong Huang had all arrived, but only Eastern God Yaochi, that bookworm, was missing—well, that is the reincarnated Ji Ningshuang.

"She probably went to find a place to read again!" Ye Chen touched his chin, and in his sea of consciousness, the fragrant scenes from the Canglan Realm surfaced again."Maybe she's at home sharpening her knife, preparing to deal with me."

I don't know, if he knew that Ji Ningshuang was currently in the Wangchuan at this moment, what expression he would have.

I don't know, if he knew that Ji Ningshuang had already recovered her memories, whether he would be scared on the spot.

More people were still coming, not lacking monsters, overshadowing the momentum of the battle body and the demon clan's divine child.

"Xi Zun, Southern Emperor, Bei Sheng, Zhong Huang, the divine children and divine daughters of the ancient nine clans, Phoenix divine child, Jimi Shen Ti, the crown princes and princesses of the Southern Domain's royal clans, Di Ninth Immortal, battle body, Hun clan divine child, Chimera divine child..." Someone counted carefully, sighing and clicking their tongue—so many monsters had come.

"Why isn't Eastern God Yaochi here?"

"It's a pity there's no Archaic Holy Body, and no Kunpeng and Jinwu Crown Princes who were beheaded."

"Also the Sword God's disciple, Dan Zun Hall's divine daughter."

"If the Kunlun Xu, Great Xia Dynasty's divine children and divine daughters also came, that would be really lively."

"The stars are shining, the golden great era!"

"This era belongs to them."

"The old man seems to see the tragic struggle for the emperor's path." Looking at these vigorous Tianjiao, the old fellows all felt melancholic."That will be a bloody road."

"Indeed, wherever there's excitement, you're there." Ye Chen murmured to himself. With his immortal eyes, he could see more clearly.

Besides those on the surface, there were many terrifying existences in the dark, with extremely powerful bloodlines and origins—they just didn't show off, each carrying an immortal inheritance, very strong.
