The Heavenly Talents Discussion Meeting commenced on schedule.

The entire Endless Sea Area bustled with excitement, especially the seas surrounding the Dragon God Sacred Land. On that day, countless streaks of light from the Dragon God Sacred Land darted unceasingly towards Falling Moon Peak.

"Jianqiu, it’s been a while. How have you been lately?" Wei Qin quickly caught up with Li Jianqiu and started to ingratiate himself.

Ever since the battle for the Ten Thousand Domains, he had greatly admired Li Jianqiu, even extending an invitation to become Dao companions. However, due to the emergence of Hong Yuan, their association ultimately fizzled out. But Wei Qin had become even more optimistic about Li Jianqiu, considering her an exceptionally good candidate for a Dao companion.

Li Jianqiu wore a striking red dress and held an oil-paper umbrella, exuding an impressive aura that compelled people to stop in their tracks. She looked annoyed as Wei Qin approached and snapped, "The Heavenly Talents Discussion Meeting is a grand gathering of the young generation of the Demon Clan, and those who attend are mostly Supreme Talents at Saint Level. You and I were only invited because of our standout performance in the battle for the Ten Thousand Domains, so just listen attentively. You’re not even a Saint!"

At these words, Wei Qin chuckled and said no more. He thick-skinnedly followed Li Jianqiu, stepping onto Falling Moon Peak with her.

Atop Falling Moon Peak, the moonlight was like water, permeating the area and creating a Mortal Fairyland. At that moment, a host of Demon Clan Heavenly Talents gathered there, passionately discussing the Tao.

After Li Jianqiu handed over her Divine Origin Marrow token, which resembled an invitation, she took a seat in a back corner and quietly observed the young Demon Saints discussing their understanding of the Great Taoism.

"The path of Sword Tao is profound and vast, with five realms: Sword Gang, Sword Qi, Sword Light, Sword Intent, and Sword Momentum."

"Sword Gang, Sword Qi, Sword Light, and Sword Intent have been extensively discussed by our predecessors. What I wish to speak of now is Sword Momentum."

"Sword Momentum can be tangible or intangible; as vast as the heavens, earth, and universe, or as small as a blade of grass or a droplet of water..."

Hearing the eloquent discourse of that Sword Saint elder, Li Jianqiu’s eyes brightened. She promptly connected his words to her own "Tai Chi Divine Map" Divine Power, instantly gaining insight.

Outside the gate, the newly arrived Lin Wenti and Ye Qing hastily took their seats, activating their precious large Tao Enlightenment Stones with all their might. They were utterly engrossed in the insights on the Great Taoism shared by the Demon Saint Heavenly Talents, preparing for their own breakthroughs into the Demon Saint Realm.

After this Sword Tao Saint finished sharing his experiences, the next young Saint took the stage to elucidate further.

The atmosphere grew increasingly lively.

And when the Flame Sparrow Great Saint, a pillar of the event, took the stage to share insights on Fire Tao cultivation, the atmosphere instantly ignited, exploding like a brilliant display of fireworks!

Soon, it was time for the session of raising questions and exchanging answers.

「...」

"HAAAAH—"

Within the Great Moon Holy Temple, Hong Yuan slowly stretched, shutting down the Water Mirror before him. The Water Mirror clearly displayed the scene of the many Heavenly Talents discussing the Tao on Falling Moon Peak.

Everyone has arrived. There’s no great danger; everything is within my control.

Hong Yuan carefully observed the crowd of great demons on Falling Moon Peak two or three times before he finally rose with a sense of relief and slowly walked towards Falling Moon Peak. Though he knew that within the Dragon God Sacred Land, no Human Race spy would dare to assassinate him, the Demon Clan’s Destiny, he still habitually exercised caution. As an immortal cultivator, he possessed the means to bide his time and still dominate his opponents!

"Daddy is finally setting off," chirped the Tool Spirit Sparrow from the Sky-connecting Tower, watching Hong Yuan depart.

By her side, both the Nine-tailed Dragon Crocodile and the Great Moon Spirit silently observed Hong Yuan.

It was as if, while you watched the scenery from a bridge, someone watching the scenery was also watching you.

「...」

Atop Falling Moon Peak.

The White Fox Fairy from the Qingqiu Fox Clan stood up, ready to voice her doubts. She was clad in a semi-transparent pink peach attire. Beneath the thin gauze, her already voluptuous figure was tantalizingly glimpsed, a mesmerizing beauty shrouded in mist. The cluster of pure white fox tails behind her added a touch of innocence to her allure. The combination of enchantment and innocence created a stunning visual impact, drawing all eyes to her.

Li Jianqiu even heard the heavy breathing of Lin Wenti, Ye Qing, and Wei Qin beside her.

"TSK." Li Jianqiu made a disdainful face. She lowered her head, then confidently lifted her chest.

She simply didn’t like to flaunt herself. Otherwise, she could certainly outshine the White Fox Fairy—she had the confidence to do so!

Just as the White Fox Fairy was about to part her cherry-like lips to speak, the void trembled slightly, and a glimmer of purple-gold light suddenly appeared.

Everyone’s attention was captured by the purple-gold light.

The purple-gold light spread out to both sides, and a Purple Gold Heavy Gate, seemingly containing the infinite mysteries of the Great Taoism, slowly emerged. The Purple Gold Heavy Gate resonated with the Tao Rhyme of many Ancient Great Evils.

Heavenly Horned Ant!

Nine Nether Phoenix!

Golden-Winged Roc!

...

"HISS."

Who exactly is coming, acting so brash and bold?

Heh, such a petty trick. Don’t let me catch you, or I’ll make you pay!

The demons in attendance had a flurry of thoughts, quietly awaiting the newcomer.

Ye Qing, Lin Wenti, Wei Qin, and Li Jianqiu, sensing this aura and this mode of arrival, all stood up, staring blankly at the Purple Gold Heavy Gate. Having contended with Hong Yuan for so long during the battle for the Ten Thousand Domains, they recognized his style.

And sure enough, stars charted his course and golden lotuses paved his path. A figure emerged leisurely, his presence seeming to devour landscapes and command the heavens and earth. It was as if the universe itself was enamored by him, bestowing all its splendors upon him.

The visitor had a handsome face and a tall, straight posture, akin to a spear or a sword. He had white hair, crimson pupils, bold, sword-like brows, and star-bright eyes. His white hair cascaded like a waterfall, and his crimson eyes seemed to hold swirling Star Rivers, as if worlds were ending and being reborn within them.

The visitor was none other than Hong Yuan!

"Xuan Guangqiao!?"

I should have guessed. Only someone this audacious...
