Chapter 658: Tribulation Transcendence Ceremony (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since the Golden Immortals and Heavenly Immortals of the foreign races retreated from the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, the sects of the human race in the Penglai Immortal City were unsealed. Many cultivators returned to the various cultivation cities one after another. The usually deserted streets became bustling and lively again. Especially after knowing that many foreign races had moved out of the Western District, the number of cultivators in the various cities increased. Some cultivation families took the opportunity to seize the cultivation places of the foreign races.
The various sects were even more unwilling to fall behind. There were many battles and killings during this period.
On the other hand, the True Treasure Pavilion did not take advantage of this opportunity to expand wantonly. Instead, it reduced the number of elders and guest elders and greatly increased the conditions for recruiting guest elders. Even so, there were still many Body Integration and Mahayana Realm cultivators who wanted to enter the True Treasure Pavilion.
After all, everyone knew that with the strongest prodigy of the human race around, the western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness would be the era of the True Treasure Pavilion. Moreover, the True Treasure Pavilion was still connected to the Immortal Dao territory. If they entered, they might be able to be extradited to the Immortal Dao realm even if they failed to break through the Tribulation Transcendence in the future.
Originally, after experiencing some things, the Hall Masters of the five continents and four seas knew that leaving the True Treasure was undoubtedly a wrong decision. They wanted to return, and yet they were still so thick-skinned. However, Shan Huo and the other Hall Masters specially pleaded for them and finally joined the True Treasure Pavilion again.
With the news that the Pavilion Master of the True Treasure Pavilion was holding the Tribulation Transcendence Ceremony, many cultivators who wanted to befriend Shen Ping scrambled to obtain an invitation. Even the large sects in the Penglai Immortal City that had Itinerant Immortals were no exception.
Tai Hua Sect.
Hua Yun, a Tenth Tribulation Itinerant Immortal, looked at the three invitations in his hand and fell silent.
The elder beside him couldn’t help but say, “What does the True Treasure Pavilion mean? My Tai Hua Sect is the head of the Western District sect, but they only sent three letters. They’re clearly looking down on my Tai Hua Sect!” Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling smiled helplessly and said, “It’s already very good to have three. This is only because Fellow Daoist Yue saw that our Tai Hua Sect was working hard on the frontline battlefield. The other sects only have two at most.”
Hua Yun smiled and said, “Hongling is right. Although my Tai Hua Sect is strong, we can’t keep talking about our past glory. We have to recognize the situation. Now that the True Treasure Pavilion is powerful, my Tai Hua Sect can’t be arrogant anymore.
“Hongling, come with me this time. If there’s a chance, apologize to Pavilion Master Shen.”
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling knew that the Supreme Elder was talking about how she had harmed Shen Ping previously. She nodded repeatedly.
Except for the Tai Hua Sect, many sects had some complaints about the scarcity of invitations, but they did not dare to say it. They also knew that there were too many cultivator sects who wanted to participate in the ceremony because this might be the most lively and grand Tribulation Transcendence Ceremony in the western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness.
Snow Region Mountain Range.
In the spiritual spring surrounded by spiritual mist, the beautiful figure shrouded in the moonlight was soaking in the spring water, her fair skin and the curves of her chest faintly visible.
“Sect Master, a guest elder from the True Treasure Pavilion has come.”
Fairy Jing Lian suddenly stood up, revealing her exquisite curves. However, she didn’t care at all and said, “I think it’s to send an invitation to the ceremony. Quickly arrange for that guest elder to be in the esteemed guest hall.”
This disciple smiled and said, “My Heavenly Lotus Sect’s strength is not considered strong in the Western District. The reason why we have an invitation this time is most likely because of the Sect Master. Perhaps that Pavilion Master Shen is interested in the Sect Master?”
The sound of water splashing could be heard.
Fairy Jing Lian’s jade-like feet landed on the grass, and her body was already covered in a moonlight robe. She glared at her disciple. “Stop talking nonsense. Pavilion Master Shen is a hero. Why would he care about my appearance?”
The Heavenly Lotus Sect had always been on good terms with the True Treasure Pavilion. Back in Gray Stone City, Fairy Jing Lian and her true disciple had often stayed in the City Lord Manor.
Therefore, they received a total of five invitations. When the other sects learned of this, they were all envious. Some even wanted to use natural treasures and resources to exchange for one, but they were rejected by Fairy Jing Lian.
As the Tribulation Transcendence Ceremony approached, the number of cultivators in Gray Stone City increased day by day. The 12 main streets were almost filled every day. Although most cultivators could not get an invitation to enter the City Lord Manor, they did not need an invitation to observe in the city. Therefore, many cultivators rushed over. As a result, a month before the ceremony began, many inns and residences in the city were filled.
Fortunately, many cultivators knew the rules of Gray Stone City. In addition, there were Mahayana Realm guest elders patrolling the main street at all times. No one dared to cause trouble, and those who had personal grudges did not dare to do anything. If there were too many cultivators, it was inevitable that there would be some bumps. However, before they could attack, they were thrown out of the city by the Mahayana Realm cultivators.
The day before the ceremony began, be it the large sects of the Penglai Immortal City, many reputable and powerful cultivation families, or some itinerant cultivators with Shen Ping or his wives and Dao companions, they had all arrived early. They did not dare to come on the day of the ceremony.
“It’s the Tai Hua Sect!”
“Moon Spring Sacred Pool… Yao family!”
“Itinerant Immortal, Layperson Lan Ting!”
“As expected of the Tribulation Transcendence Ceremony of the True Treasure Pavilion’s Pavilion Master. There are actually so many Itinerant Immortals and Tribulation Transcendence cultivators from large sects. It’s even grander than the Tribulation Transcendence Ceremony of the Sect Master of the Tai Hua Sect back then!”
“Although the True Treasure Pavilion has only been established in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness for more than a thousand years, its foundation and connections have far surpassed the Tai Hua Sect.”
“That’s right. It’s said that countless sects are fighting to take in the bloodline juniors of the Shen family as disciples. If we can get to know one of them, we won’t lack resources in the future..”
