Chapter 1185: Hidden Competition

The maid smiled: “Darkdao Child is not only talented but also arrogant. I heard King Pingdeng of the Yin World appreciated his talent but he refused to join, resulting in being chased by numerous experts.”

“Yes, but he can be arrogant, still surviving even after being added to Hell’s List. As long as he survives, he’ll become someone feared by the lords of central dynasties.” Jiutian Yanyu said.

“Lady, are you interested in him? Shall we head to Jadeblood Mountain and compete with Fairy Bai?” The maid asked.

Yanyu shook her head and said: “Such a man only cares about power, not karmic ties, especially not women. We are considered fairies in the eyes of regular people but geniuses like him consider us the same as prostitutes.”

“No way, putting aside your background, My Lady, your cultivation and talent aren’t inferior to theirs. Please don’t insult yourself like that. With just one word from you, geniuses will line up.” The maid hurriedly said.

Yanyu chuckled and continued drawing: “A true fairy is untethered and unstained by the smokes of the mortal coil, not caring about Void or the clan. Well, let’s drop this issue, I won’t compete with Baizhi, it’s not good to cause internal strife before the conference.”

“The ascenders are gathering at Jadeblood, although they are dragons among men, they have no strong backers in West Bull. It’s not worth it.” The maid said: “Since the others have picked Void, Stupa, and Jadeblood, we have Nine-flower, Wood, and Dao Mountain left.”

“Nine-flower is where the nobles from Ethereal gather, these powers are complex and unfathomable. It’ll be useful for the clan if you can befriend them.”

“Wood has heroes who have recently returned from the battlefield, they are hardened soldiers who somehow survived. Although their backgrounds might not be as impressive, they might be better targets.”

“Dao has geniuses from the central dynasties. They might have political influence but in terms of actual backers, they’ll be weaker than the ones in Nine-flower. In my opinion, you should go to Nine-flower Mountain, My Lady.”

“The two strongest ones are Void and Stupa, both are taken by Luo Shuihan and Chang Lianyi, I have no intention of competing with them. There are three thousand invitations this time for six mountains and three hundred islands...” Yanyu said.

“My Lady, you are just as competitive as any of them. Everyone knows that the main players tonight will be on the six mountains. Fairy Bai said that she will list the ten strongest rising stars of the human race tonight, this is to build a stage for Darkdao Child. If you don’t pick carefully, you will be humiliated.” The maid said.

“Baizhi cares about winning too much, it’s expected. She’s already helping him even before marriage yet people say that she is innocent.” Yanyu smiled.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in her mind, prompting her to ask: “Which mountain is the half-demon on?”

The maid knew who she was referring to right away - only one half-demon was qualified to join the party tonight.

She became frustrated, thinking that the lady was stooping too low. Befriending a half-demon was the same as lowering her status.

Despite being unhappy, she still said respectfully: “That half-demon is staying on Crystal Island, Heaven Calculating Lord and Aquamoon Saintess are there as well.”

If the lady doesn’t wish to compete with Luo Shuihan and Chang Lianyi, she definitely won’t compete with the number one female genius.

“Good, we will go offer our service at Crystal first and then I can ask the saintess for cultivation tips.” Yanyu said and put the finishing touch on the animated painting.

Six mountains towered in the center, surrounded by three hundred floating islands.

“Heaven Calculating Lord and Aquamoon Saintess, you two are the leaders of the human race and are more than qualified to be with the nobles on the six mountains. May I ask why you are mingling with lowly ones such as ourselves?” Zhongyuan asked while taking out another melon.

Its age scared everyone, nearly five million years old. Just a million-year-old alchemy plant was hard to find, a grotto might only have several. However, this person easily took out several - he clearly had an amazing background.

The scholar already knew who he was so he wasn’t surprised. He smiled and said: “We wouldn’t have the fortune of eating your melon in that case. Not even pseudo-saints are lucky enough.”

A maid came over and sliced the melon. Divinity oozed out and engulfed the entire island, turning into draconic energies.

Lu Shanren sitting in the corner immediately started meditating and breathing.

Feiyun was surprised as well, Aquamoon Paradise only had three plants above one million years old. This guy was something else.

He glanced over at Yiyi who had a glimpse of astonishment in her eyes, albeit no discernible change in her overall expression.

He then glanced over at Liu Suzi and saw her glaring at him. Violet energy surrounded her - she wanted to hide the changes in her figure. It looked like the papaya started working.

Just how big is she now? He wondered before pretending to not see her dead stare.

“I’ve been observing the stars recently and saw some disappearing, billions are moving as well. What do you think about this instability, Brother?” He asked the scholar.

Many wisdom masters had been talking about this issue - a change rarely seen in the last several million years.

Rumor has it that the world was about to become unstable. Meteors would descend and wipe everyone out. Cultivators felt that a calamity was on the way.

The scholar knew this matter but didn’t wish to divulge everything. He said: “Astronomy is a mystical art with too many variables. When the heaven is unstable, so will astrological signs. Brother Melon, what’s special about this fruit?”

Feiyun knew that the guy was hiding something. Why was it so taboo even for the leader of the seers?

As for Zhongyuan, he excitedly said that this was safe to eat and picked up a slice.

Meanwhile, a young daoist from Void Mountain flew over and smiled: “Your Highness, Brother Heaven Calculating, we of Fortune Grotto would like to invite you over to our place. The wine is better and many heroes are waiting to meet you, will you do us the honor?”

Xuan Huasheng stared at the two while not giving a damn about the others.

“You have good wine and heroes over there? As if we don’t.” Ximen Chuixiao snorted.

“Friend, give this melon a try. I’ve just taken it off the field this morning, it’s fresh and sweet.” Zhongyuan offered a slice.

Xuan Huasheng ignored him; contempt flashed in his eyes. He still put on a smile and said: “The wine is good and one of the four fairies, Fairy Luo, is with us. It tastes even better when there is someone so beautiful filling the cups.”
