1117: Chapter 287_3 1117: Chapter 287_3 Master Cao was truly selfless.
Gradually, with Cao Zhen’s continual guidance, the members of the Five Sounds Sect were growing increasingly astonished.
At first, they simply thought Master Cao was skilled at playing the zhuchu, but now, they discovered that he seemed to be proficient with all types of musical instruments.
Moreover, they felt more and more that Master Cao’s accomplishments in musical rhythm were terrifyingly high.
And just like that, the night passed.
The next day, the day of the Cloud Reaching Sect’s grand event finally came, yet the event did not begin in the morning but rather started in the evening.
It somewhat resembled the style of major events on Earth in a previous life, such as the World Cup or the Olympics.
Cao Zhen could understand.
After all, fireworks wouldn’t look good during the day; they looked good at night.
As the fireworks rose one after another, the Cloud Reaching Sect’s grand event officially began.
The Cloud Reaching Sect’s grand event was held on Sky Overriding Peak, described as a peak but was incomparably vast.
Moreover, the top of the peak had been flattened into a massive platform.
Since Cao Zhen was to perform, he did not go to the front to listen to what the people of the Cloud Reaching Sect were saying but stayed in the back.
In the middle of Sky Overriding Peak, Ling Xi, Bei Yan, and others sat in the most secluded location.
It was not that they deliberately sought to keep a low profile, but the positions closer to the center were all occupied by people from the great teachings.
The second-tier spots were taken by invited sect members; as for those who entered with the status of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, they could only sit at the outer edge.
In their Eastern Wasteland, those with Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection were considered the highest combat power and were respected wherever they went.
But this was the Eastern Province!
Indeed, the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection was strong, but in front of the great teachings, it was insignificant.
Zhu Peng showed no interest in the various performances at the celebration.
As soon as he sat down, he began to devour the food on the stone table, complaining while eating voraciously, “This is too little, not nearly enough for Zhu Peng to eat.
This wine tastes pretty good, but there’s too little of it as well.”
Ling Xi and a few others did not eat the food, instead, they looked around.
The celebration began, and everyone watched the performances while eating and drinking, all the while continuing their discussions, which were not much different from the various events in the Eastern Wasteland.
When Li Ke became a Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection, the Golden Core Club held by Vermilion Bird Peak was much like the current celebration, except that there were no performances and not as many people present.
Quickly, Ling Xi and the others realized that most of the discussion focused on two issues.
“The closing performance tonight should be Immortal Bi Yue.”
“Definitely Immortal Bi Yue.
For the Cloud Reaching Sect to be able to invite Immortal Bi Yue is extremely difficult.
If they don’t give the closing spot to her, I’m afraid Immortal Bi Yue would immediately leave in disdain, and even the Dragon Chant Sect would be furious!”
“Immortal Bi Yue’s dance is a unique treasure of our Eastern Province.
Even if Immortal Bi Yue is not from the Dragon Chant Sect, the closing act has to be her.”
“Speaking of which, this is only the third time Immortal Bi Yue has shown her dance in public.”
“To be able to witness Immortal Bi Yue’s dance is truly an honor!”
“For Immortal Bi Yue to come this time is already giving enough face to the Cloud Reaching Sect.”
“Aren’t you curious about the Rainbow Bridge?
I wonder who activated the Rainbow Bridge, and why it hasn’t disappeared to this day?”
“That is so strange, it’s been so long.”
“Normally, it should have already finished by now.”
“This time, because the Rainbow Bridge has persisted, many people have missed the chance to enter the Cloud Reaching Sect.”
“I actually know who triggered the Rainbow Bridge.
It is said that someone from Hundred Peaks Sect called Xiang Ziyu activated the Rainbow Bridge.”
“How do you know that?”
“Hundred Peaks Sect?
I’ve never heard of these two names before, have any of you heard of Hundred Peaks Sect or Xiang Ziyu?”
“No.”
“Never heard of them.”
Upon hearing the words “Hundred Peaks Sect” and “Xiang Ziyu,” Ling Xi and the others turned their heads towards the direction where the voice came from.
The one who had just spoken, upon taking his seat, had noticed four beautiful immortals sitting nearby.
Now, feeling the gaze of these immortals, he straightened his back and said proudly, “Because I also attempted the Sky-reaching Formation.
After all, although I can enter here directly with my cultivation base, having a great formation to challenge is an opportunity I naturally wanted to take.
Then, when I was challenging the formation, I happened to do so along with that Xiang Ziyu and the genius of Sacred Flower Sect, Huo Fanqi.
You would never expect that in the first challenge, the first one to rush to the top of the mountain was a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills individual.”
“Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills?”
The crowd let out a surprised exclamation upon hearing his words.
“There must have been quite a few Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfections at the time, right?”
The challenger nodded, “There were nearly twenty Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfections.”
“So many Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfections, and yet a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills individual was the first to get through?”
“Are you saying you didn’t attack him first?”
“Dao Companion Gao, don’t keep us in suspense, tell us what happened.”
After whetting everyone’s appetite, the challenger raised his voice and said, “We all attacked him, but that Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills individual was truly strong.
Anyway, he just charged past us, and that person was Xiang Ziyu.”
