Chapter 839: Blazing Sun Strange Flame and the Beginning
Liu Jie still hoped that the Order of Radiant Light would end up in Lin Yuan’s hands, and his wish for the Guard Ye Banquet to take place a year later had crossed his mind more than once.
Liu Jie’s words led Long Tao to make a decision. “If so, I shall participate in the Arts Stage.”
The Island Whale that was the prize for the Arts Stage could not compare with the value of a sacred source lifeform. Hence, there had to be many people who would choose to participate in the Martial Stage because of the sacred source lifeform.
As such, the competition for the Arts Stage would not be as stiff, and most importantly, those two people should be competing in the Martial Arts Stage.
Long Tao asked Lin Yuan in a low voice, “Brother, have you heard of Gu Lang and Zong Ze?”
Lin Yuan shook his head, so Liu Jie started to explain, “Zong Ze and Gu Lang are Lord Chef Supreme and Lord Bamboo Monarch’s youngest disciples, respectively. They will be the strongest participants in the Martial Arts Stage.”
Lin Yuan noted the names.
Only 13 people in the Radiance Federation could be deemed royalty, and 11 of them already had disciples.
Lord Cicada Song and Lord Iron Prison were the only ones left without a disciple, and they usually stayed in the imperial court.
Meanwhile, the other members of royalty had disciples that were already older than 30 years old.
There were only four disciples of the members of royalty who could still be considered a part of the younger generation.
The four were Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Lord Chef Supreme’s youngest disciple, and Lord Bamboo Monarch’s youngest disciple.
Lin Yuan had seen them as his biggest competitors in the Martial Arts Stage from the beginning.
He had insisted on evolving the Dark Death Law to Dark Death World before the Guard Ye Banquet because of these two people.
Neither Li Xuan nor Sun Ningxiang planned on participating in any of the stages.
Li Xuan was a support-type spirit qi professional like Gao Feng and was not a Creation Master. Hence, there was no point in him participating.
Sun Ningxiang had forced herself to attend the Guard Ye Banquet. Even if she was confident in her powers, she did not plan on making any big waves at such competitions while Condense Fairy Orchard was still in such a precarious situation.
Now that Gao Feng knew what the group had in mind for the rest of the night, his expression immediately turned sour.
There would be innumerable people participating in the Martial Stage, and it was impossible for him to face off against Liu Jie right from the beginning.
At that moment, Gao Feng felt that he was not his father’s biological son. He had to have been picked up from a trash can.
For the sake of the competition later on, the group ate the snacks other than the Lychee Husband while they chatted.
Suddenly, 12 chimes sounded from deep inside the Midnight Palace.
Lin Yuan checked the time and realized that it was already 9:00 p.m.
This was the time that the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, and Martial Arts Stage was set to begin.
At that moment, six lights hanging from the ceiling of the Midnight Palace were extinguished, and the area outside the Midnight Palace lit up.
A blazing white flame wrapped in a transparent crystal lit up in the center of a suspended ceiling in the area outside the Midnight Palace.
The moment the white flames ignited, the area outside the Midnight Palace seemed to turn white.
Lin Yuan realized that although the white flames did give the semblance of sunlight, it was not blinding.
Rather, overwhelming energy could be sensed from the white flames.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the white flames and discovered that it was a top-grade Blazing Sun Strange Flame.
The strange top-grade strange flame came from Class 5 abyss dimensional rifts, but it did not appear in every one.
Once the strange flame reached top-grade, it became priceless.
Every top-grade strange flame was extremely precious, and there was mostly only one of each kind.
It seemed too luxurious to use such a precious item as a hanging light to illuminate the area outside the Midnight Palace.
Lin Yuan caught sight of Zuo Ming walking nearer with a man that had an odd expression walking alongside him.
The man looked as though he had just heard something unbelievable and was trying his best to compose himself.
You Zhe had just sent Miao Qi back to the Miao family’s residence, but he did not expect to see that Miao Zhuo had already arrived before them.
Had everyone from Connected Beast Park gone crazy?
Why did they all start trouble at the Guard Ye Banquet? Not even the young one knew not to cross the line.
After You Zhe returned, he sought out Zuo Ming and found out why Miao Zhuo had just been sent away. This was when he realized that both aunt and nephew were out of their minds.
Zuo Ming coughed when he saw the crowd of young people and said, “Next, the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, and Martial Arts Stage are about to begin in that order. Both the Arts Stage and Martial Arts Stage involve Creation Master powers and will take place in the breeding rooms that have been cleaned out.
“Since the concoction of spirit fluids is special and cannot be exposed to outsiders, only the final results will be considered.
“As for the Martial Stage and Martial Arts Stage that involve combat-type spirit qi professionals, the competitions will take place in the palace in front of the members of royalty and your elders.”
When the Midnight Palace had been constructed, the area outside the palace was built lower. After the Blazing Sun Strange Flame was ignited, the walls made of radyx crystal would become one-directionally transparent where everyone inside the palace would be able to see out into the area outside the palace but not vice versa.
The disciples of top and veteran factions who were confident in themselves all intended on participating in either the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, or Martial Arts Stage.
The disciples of veteran factions wanted to prove themselves to earn the approval of their elders and for the sake of their faction.
If the disciples of veteran factions could prove that they had incredible talent and strong powers, it would be indicative of the veteran factions’ potential for the next few decades.
Such veteran factions always received support from top factions.
It was for this reason that Coiling Dragon’s Valley supported Dark Clouds Bird Shrine and Furnace Stone Metal supported Four Beasts Territory.
Both Dark Clouds Bird Shrine and Four Beasts Territory were veteran factions that had gained the support of Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Furnace Stone Metal a few decades ago because of the strength of their younger generation.
All of the veteran factions present were gunning for the same result.
