Chapter 228: What is this… monster?

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

The Wenyun Ceremony took place in the center of Wenyun Town.

Unlike Baishi Town, Wenyun Town was located on the edge of the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, where the spirit energy was extremely rich. This made it possible to set up formations without relying on artifacts to guard against monsters.

In this situation, Wenyun Town’s area far exceeded that of Baishi Town, making it a large military stronghold.

At the center of the stronghold, there was a spacious area necessary for the turnover of supplies.

The Wenyun Ceremony was held here, where a Spiritual Law platform and seating were constructed from thin air.

Countless colorful ribbons, sparkling with spirit light, adorned the area.

Besides their decorative effect, these ribbons also served a function in the formations.

Once the Spiritual Law battle began, they would transform into a barrier, containing the destruction within a fixed area and sparing others from harm.

The entire venue for the Wenyun Ceremony resembled a large arena, presenting a circular shape, with seating increasing in height, while the Spiritual Law platform sat at the lowest point. The only difference from a large beast-fighting arena was the immense scale of the Wenyun Ceremony venue.

The Spiritual Law platform alone had a diameter of over a thousand meters, providing ample room for the cultivators to battle.

However, even so, it was still too narrow for spiritual realm cultivators, prompting the law realm practitioners to extend the space with their formations.

Today was the day the Wenyun Ceremony commenced.

As soon as dawn broke, cultivators began entering the venue, gradually filling it with excitement.

“Mother, what is that?”

“It’s none of our business; let’s go.”

A child pointed to the towering magnificent buildings but was pulled away by his mother.

All the commoners in the area instinctively left, not daring to appear on the streets.

This was the ceremony of the Spiritual Law masters.

It did not involve them, the ordinary beings, and at this time, they had to be doubly careful.

With more Spiritual Law masters present, all kinds of personalities could emerge. Ordinary people could be slaughtered at any moment due to a single action or a careless word—a lesson taught in blood.

Even if they did nothing wrong, such incidents could still happen. All they could do was minimize the chances.

…

By noon, as the opening approached, the prominent figures began to arrive.

You Kaiwu, dressed in a battle robe and covered in chains, casually sat down without speaking to anyone.

Yet, his presence still instilled fear, and one could sense the terrifying power suppressed within his body, like a dormant ancient beast ready to open its blood-filled jaws at any moment.

Ao Xiu from the Ao family of Snow Mountain was more flamboyant, arriving in a carriage drawn by a flying beast. His aura was cold, lacking the terrifying atmosphere of You Kaiwu. Many beautiful women and handsome talents who had become his friends during this time accompanied him.

They chatted and took their seats, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

The flying beast that drew the carriage showed no interest, lying down and ignoring the noise to sleep, prompting Ao Xiu to shake his head.

“This creature is truly lazy.”

The ceremony of the Spiritual Law masters was extremely spacious, allowing even strange beasts to have places to rest and sleep. Ao Xiu only mentioned it once and then paid no more attention.

Soon after, the higher-level families from Yunwen Town arrived, all of them in the spiritual realm. It was already a stretch for law realm practitioners to arrange such trivial matters, so they wouldn’t attend the event.

The five practitioners in the spiritual realm came from the ruling Chen family of Yunwen Town, along with the three major law realm families: Zhou, Wu, and Xu.

The last was Tianxin Longming, the second son of the Tianxin Family, who was very young, around fifteen years old.

His appearance was frail, resembling a sickly individual, and his purpose for attending the Wenyun Ceremony was obvious.

“Tianxin Longming has long been rumored to have achieved mastery in Spirit Law and is outstanding within the Tianxin Family. I wonder what his true abilities are compared to his older brother?”

“I’m afraid he can’t be compared. Tianxin An is the true talent who made it onto the Qilin Rankings, while Tianxin Longming looks like a premature elder; how can someone with inherent shortcomings go far?”

Many gazes turned towards the second son, sparking discussions, but they did not delve deeply. This second son had law realm guards; who knew if the law realm’s Spirit Sense had swept by?

As the host, the Xiang Family welcomed the heads of many families.

What they thought inside was not important.

Surface appearances had to be maintained.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the Qushuang Family was, if they were exterminated, what meaning would revenge have afterward?

They could never come back to life.

Outside the venue, Yun Ye arrived with Xiang Yan and three subordinates, just as he was about to enter. Suddenly, he glanced to the side.

He saw a young man in white, accompanied by a group of followers, walking towards him.

The brief moment of eye contact with this person made Yun Ye frown slightly, feeling a hint of threat…

Could this person harm him?

Yun Ye only glanced for a moment and then walked into the venue as if nothing had happened. Just as Xiang Baizheng had said, when facing someone whose background was unknown, he would give his all. Whether there was a threat or not was inconsequential; he would surely present his strongest state…

Yun Ye left, but the young man in white stopped, watching Yun Ye walk away in silence for a long while.

“Nangong heir? Why stop?” His followers were puzzled and asked.

The young man in white remained silent until Yun Ye’s figure disappeared. Then he suddenly spoke, “Who is that child?”

“Um… judging by his attire, he should be from the Xiang Family, probably the so-called Qilin child they’ve been boasting about. He is only five years old, just a passerby at this ceremony,” replied a nearby young man, showing little concern for a mere five-year-old child.

“Indeed, I cannot understand the Xiang Family’s thoughts. Are they trying to offer Top-tier Spiritual Herbs to gain the support of the winning family? This is something we obtain by strength. Their thinking is too simplistic,” another follower nodded, directly determining their heir as the last victor.

“A passerby? Haha…” Nangong Xungu did not know what he was laughing at, his expression twisted with immense discomfort.

His fingers trembled slightly, hidden in his sleeve, clenched tightly. Beads of sweat uncontrollably dripped from his forehead—was he really unable to control his own body?

In truth, yes.

At the moment they made eye contact, his innate intuitive Spirit Law had activated. If he were to face this child in a life-and-death battle…

It would be certain death!

This feeling of fear far surpassed any dangers he had faced before. Even when he had confronted law realm practitioners, it felt less than one-tenth, or even one-hundredth of this. It completely shattered his control over his own body.

After standing still for a while, the indescribable fear began to dissipate.

Was this thing really a passerby?

Was he really just someone being praised?

Nonsense!

If they said this child was a reincarnation of an ancient sage, Nangong Xungu would believe it!

To be this terrifying at the age of five, he had never seen such a thing even in the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect!

“Let’s go, I want to see this grand spectacle!”

“…??”

The others were puzzled, but they did not dare to ask and could only follow suit.

“Opening!”

“Boom!!!”

The sound of the bell echoed.
