Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 852 - 820: Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Painting

Chapter 852: Chapter 820: Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Painting

The process of conferring the title of Divine Maiden is very simple.

The four Divine Maidens will compete to determine the final winner.

Here, strength reigns supreme.

As the Divine Maiden of the Three Saints Sect, if one’s strength is insufficient, one naturally cannot win over the crowd.

The Divine Maidens who are eliminated will be accepted as disciples of the High Priest of the Three Saints Sect and trained as core disciples.

In this way, their talents won’t be buried, though they will fall short in cultivation resources, status, and rights compared to the Divine Maiden who is conferred the title.

The Golden Core Ancestor, who introduced the four Divine Maidens, continued to speak about the specific competition process.

"I am Zhao Tianxu, serving as the Supreme Elder of the Three Saints Sect, and I will preside over this grand ceremony, completing the conferral of the Divine Maiden title under the witness of fellow Daoists..."

Zhao Tianxu slowly began, starting a lengthy talk.

His opening remarks were long-winded, not forgetting to introduce the origins of the Three Saints Sect, its development, current sect status, how many outstanding talents it harbors, and its influence in various places.

Taking this chance, he was also promoting the Three Saints Sect, making it known to more cultivators.

After Zhao Tianxu’s introduction and seeing the four Divine Maidens standing gracefully, as bright and beautiful as the moon, serene and otherworldly, each with their own charms, many cultivators yearned for the Three Saints Sect, wanting to join it.

More and more cultivators continued to gather, showing strong interest in this grand ceremony.

There were also competitors of the Three Saints Sect, cultivators from the Purple Mansion Sect, Dark River Sect, and Illusion God Sect, who came here to investigate this Divine Ceremony and the forces the Three Saints Sect deployed.

As the chosen hour for the ceremony arrived, the grand ceremony officially started.

At Zhao Tianxu’s signal, the four Divine Maidens removed their veils one by one.

"Wow, they’ve revealed their true faces, they’re so beautiful!"

"As expected, just as I imagined, they are incredibly pretty!"

"Tsk, tsk, such beauty has surpassed my imagination. Truly deserving of the title ’Divine Maiden’; indeed, it feels unattainable."

When the four Divine Maidens removed their veils, revealing their exquisite and stunning features, the surrounding crowd was filled with amazed exclamations at such incredibly beautiful women.

"They are truly... so beautiful!"

Li Beihuo’s eyes also shone, somewhat mesmerized by the sight.

Lu Ping, in his cultivation journey so far, had seen many women of top-notch beauty, including sect holy daughters, daughters of the Immortal Race, foreign princesses, etc.

Even so, when observing the four Divine Maidens’ looks, his expression shifted, showing appreciation.

However, when his gaze fell on the lady in a cyan gauze dress, tall and elegant, called the Cyan Cicada Divine Maiden, his once calm expression changed.

"Hmm? This appearance..."

Initially frowning, Lu Ping then showed a surprised look.

Li Beihuo was still admiring the four Divine Maidens, captivated by their beauty, so he didn’t notice Lu Ping’s expression.

"Chaoge?"

The more Lu Ping looked, the less he could remain calm, a slight tremor inside, a name flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously took a few steps forward.

Li Chaoge, this woman was Lu Ping’s wife, whom he deeply loved, gave birth to Lu Yuanshan and his siblings, and was a constant pain in Lu Ping’s heart.

What pained Lu Ping was that during a period when he was injured and in secluded cultivation attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, Li Chaoge mysteriously disappeared without a trace since then.

Having lost his beloved wife’s presence, Lu Ping was naturally heartbroken and had been searching for Li Chaoge’s whereabouts for years, but to no avail.

At this moment, the Cyan Cicada Divine Maiden’s appearance was very similar to Li Chaoge’s, instantly reminding Lu Ping of his wife.

How could Lu Ping remain calm?

His gaze fixated on the Cyan Cicada Divine Maiden’s face, even though Lu Ping could confirm this woman was not Li Chaoge and there were some differences.

However, Lu Ping couldn’t help but take a few more glances, wondering whether this woman might have some blood relation to Li Chaoge; otherwise, how could they look so alike?

Could it be mere coincidence?

Being stared at intently by Lu Ping, Li Qingchan sensed it too, and meeting Lu Ping’s gaze, her expression slightly froze, feeling that Lu Ping’s eyes were different from those around.

There was actually a sense of familiarity in those eyes.

This made her feel puzzled and think Lu Ping was really strange.

Her cheeks slightly blushed, she turned her gaze elsewhere, avoiding further eye contact with Lu Ping.

"Too alike, really too alike..."

Lu Ping watched for a while and couldn’t help but sigh.

Who would’ve thought, here, he would meet someone so similar to Li Chaoge?

"Zhang Dao You, what’s too alike?"

At this moment, Li Beihuo, catching up with Lu Ping, heard his sigh and asked.

Lu Ping’s eyes flicked over the three Jade Orchid Divine Maidens and back onto Li Qingchan, asking, "That Cyan Cicada Divine Maiden, how much do you know about her, Li Dao You?"

When Lu Ping mentioned Li Qingchan by name, Li Beihuo thought Lu Ping was interested in Li Qingchan and immediately smiled.

"This Cyan Cicada Divine Maiden, it’s my first time seeing her too. I don’t know much about her. If Zhang Dao You is interested, I can find out more for you later?"

Li Beihuo laughed, "Judging by her age, she seems to be the youngest of the four Divine Maidens."

Lu Ping didn’t mind what Li Beihuo was thinking; he just wanted to quickly learn more about the Cyan Cicada Divine Maiden, to see if there really was any blood relation to Li Chaoge.

Lu Ping decided to thoroughly watch this Divine Ceremony and later make contact with the Cyan Cicada Divine Maiden.

The four Golden Core powerhouses of the Three Saints Sect lined up in a row, seated outside the northern part of the competition platform, each releasing their aura uninhibitedly. Under the deterrence of such strong power, nobody dared cause trouble here.

Quickly, under Zhao Tianxu’s hosting, the first competition was ready to start.

The four Divine Maidens would draw lots to compete, utilizing a best of three format.

Zhao Tianxu advised everyone to stay away from the competition platform, then with a wave of his sleeve, a bright yellow scroll flew out of his sleeve and hovered in the air above the platform.

This item, named the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Painting, contains an illusionary mini world crafted with an array, serving both as a place to reside and a competition venue for cultivators to battle within.

Through improvements, this scroll became the preferred place for generations of Three Saints Sect Divine Maidens and sect powerhouses to duel and practice.

Fighting within it, one feels no restraint, completely free to strike at will.
