　　Two days later, the first session of the Golden Scale Association.
　　“The number of disciples participating in the Golden Scale Meeting this year is really quite a lot. Besides the 320 people from Youyun Heaven, 68 people came from Jueming Heaven and 68 people came from Chenglong Heaven. Even Xuanhuang Heaven, which is currently at war with Jiuyuan, sent 23 people, and even Zhenwu Heaven, which has had little news for hundreds of years, sent a cultivator.”
　　“So many actually came. I remember that at the last Golden Scale Meeting, the total number was only over a hundred people, right？”
　　“At the last Golden Scale Meeting, Youyun Heaven was fighting with Jiuyuan, and most of the other heavens also had turmoil and simply couldn’t send out people.”
　　“In that case, it’s not an exaggeration for Youyun Mansion to claim that this year’s Golden Scale Meeting is a grand event once every five hundred years.”
　　“That’s true. This Golden Scale Meeting not only has a large number of people, but the most remarkable thing is that the five heavens of the Upper Clear Realm are gathered together. If you really calculate it, the last time it was this complete was indeed more than five hundred years ago.”
It is said that as long as the five heavens are gathered together, the fortune of Youyun Mansion itself will increase a lot and the mansion master will even receive a share of the martial bestowed by Youyun Great Emperor.
　　“I’ve also heard this statement.”
　　“So in my opinion, the disciple from Zhenwu Heaven this time was brought here by Mansion Master Qiu to make up the number.”
　　“No way. If the cultivation level is too poor, the Golden Scale List won’t recognize it.”
　　“The cultivation base will naturally not be completely useless, but it is definitely not comparable to the heroes of the other several worlds. You should know that the martial luck of True Martial Heaven has dried up, and there are simply no Transcendent Realm cultivators now. A disciple from such a place, how strong can his cultivation base be？”
　　“That’s true.”
　　“Otherwise, it just so happens that only one cultivator was selected by the Golden Scale List.”
　　“I heard that the opponent that this True Martial Heaven disciple Xu Taiping is going to face today is the martial arts genius Qi Hao of the Qi family.”
　　“Really？”
　　“Of course it’s true. The matchup list has long been out. You can go and see for yourself.”
　　“This Qi Hao is notoriously ruthless. I’m afraid Xu Taiping will make a fool of himself today.”
　　“You haven’t even seen that True Martial Heaven disciple. How can you be so sure that the one who will make a fool of himself must be him？ Maybe in the end, it will be Qi Hao who makes a fool of himself！”
　　Beside a tea shop on a street in the capital city, Lu Wen, who was waiting for the meat pies in the shopkeeper’s pot to come out, finally couldn’t help but retort after listening to several cultivators chattering and discussing for a long time.”
　　And after hearing Lu Wen’s retort, those people looked at each other and then burst into laughter together.”
　　The laughter was full of sarcasm.”
　　“You…”
　　“Awen.”
　　Lu Wen still planned to continue arguing with these people for a few more words, but unexpectedly was stopped by Lu Yun beside him.”
　　I saw Lu Yun put the meat pies handed over by the shopkeeper into a basket, then reached out and pulled Lu Wen’s arm, saying as he walked：
　　“Let them talk. There is less than half an hour before the competition starts. County Magistrate Xiaoxiao has reserved a seat for us in the Golden Scale Pavilion. We have to go there quickly.”
　　Hearing this, Lu Wen said “oh” and then obediently followed behind Lu Yun.
　　“Sister, I think Big Brother Taiping can win today. These people don’t understand anything！”
　　Lu Wen finally couldn’t help but complain to Lu Yun.
　　“Sister also thinks Big Brother Taiping can win, but we just know it ourselves. There is no need to argue with them.”
　　Lu Yun turned around and smiled at Lu Wen.
　　The only time Xu Taiping made a move in his true identity in the capital city was on the first day when he entered the city to help them deal with Ma Wenxuan who came to challenge them.
　　Of course, even that time, he still used a human skin mask to change his appearance.
　　So in this capital city, the people who really know his strength are only the Lu Yun siblings, Monk Chongde, County Magistrate Xiaoxiao, and Shopkeeper Song of Shiyi Zhai.
　　But actually, the Xu Taiping they know is only the Xu Taiping seven years ago. The strength of Xu Taiping today has only been witnessed by the Red Armor Cavalry in Tianhai Town.
　　“Lu Yun, Lu Wen, have you arrived yet？ We are at the Golden Scale Terrace in the Golden Scale Pavilion. After you enter the door, take the token and keep walking inside.”
　　The moment Lu Yun and Lu Wen entered the Golden Scale Pavilion, the voice transmission of the Seventh Princess immediately rang in their ears.
　　Because of Lu Rushuang’s relationship, the three of them had become familiar with each other in just a few days.
　　“Your Highness, Ah Wen and I have already arrived at the Golden Scale Pavilion and will be there soon.”
　　Lu Yun increased her pace while voice transmitting to the Seventh Princess.
Soon, after handing over the pass token to the mansion guards of Youyun Mansion the two siblings finally arrived at the competition venue of the Golden Scale Association – the Golden Scale Terrace.
　　“Sister, this Golden Scale Terrace… is so big. It’s simply an empty city without houses…”
　　Lu Wen, who saw the Golden Scale Terrace for the first time, was startled by the scene in front of him.
　　He originally thought that this Golden Scale Terrace was at most a slightly larger parade ground, and it would be good if it was as big as a courtyard.
　　But unexpectedly, the area of this Golden Scale Terrace is simply as big as a city.
　　If you don’t use your true essence to enhance your eyesight, you simply can’t see the situation on the opposite side.
　　And in the center of this area, there is a huge high platform shaped like a chessboard. Because the material of this high platform is similar to that of jade, it looks like a large lake from a distance.
　　“Sister, why is there such a large open space in this Golden Scale Pavilion？”
　　Lu Wen asked in surprise as he closely followed Lu Yun towards the viewing stand.
　　Because he remembered that it didn’t take him more than a cup of tea to walk around the Golden Scale Pavilion before, but if you asked him to walk around the Golden Scale Platform within a cup of tea, that would be absolutely impossible.
　　“This Golden Scale Platform was originally transformed from the Golden Scale Pool, a divine weapon of the Youyun Great Emperor, and this Golden Scale Pool forms its own world.”
　　Lu Yun explained to Lu Wen.
