"Dad, what’s wrong?"
Liu Mingyan asked quietly.
Long Zhan gave her a strange look, unsure of how to start, so he simply handed her the letter.
"See for yourself."
Liu Mingyan took the letter with confusion, and when she saw the contents, she was shocked.
"Brother Lu Yuan is here?"
"He single-handedly crushed the Celestial Desolate Cang Family, made the servant of the Infinite Mountain heir kneel in public, and even declared he would challenge the heir of Infinite Mountain?"
Under the full effort of Long Zhan’s cultivation.
Liu Mingyan was no longer the naive girl; naturally, she understood the terror of Infinite Mountain.
It’s one of the Nine Great Sacred Lands of the Profound Realm!
A monstrous entity that has stood for hundreds of thousands of years, capable of shaking the stars with a mere stomp!
Within Infinite Mountain, strong persons are as numerous as clouds, and prodigies emerge in great numbers, ruling over dozens of vast star domains.
Each star domain is a hundred times more expansive and prosperous than the Desolate Star Realm!
Most importantly,
Every era, Infinite Mountain gives birth to a Supreme Venerable.
Generations succeeding generations, it has never ceased!
The Supreme Venerable, a peerless existence that dominates an era and commands the starry sky.
Across the entire Profound Realm, only those who have produced a Venerable Strong Person have the right to be called a Longevity Family or Immortal Ancient Race.
But stepping into the Venerable Realm is as hard as reaching the heavens.
Even those Longevity Families may not be able to nurture a Venerable despite expending everything.
But Infinite Mountain produces a Venerable every era, how terrifying is this?
"Dad, you must help Brother Lu Yuan."
Liu Mingyan spoke with a sobbing tone, fearing that something might happen to Lu Yuan.
"Yan’Er, don’t worry, he’s the son-in-law of our Dragon Race; I will naturally lend a hand!"
"Moreover, that brat Lu Yuan is as cunning as a monkey. Given his nature, making a move without profit, he must be quite confident to dare challenge the heir of Infinite Mountain."
Long Zhan, in a good mood, reassured her gently.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Infinite Mountain.
Immortal energy lingered, clouds forming a sea.
A peak towering ten thousand feet stood proudly in the world like a sharp sword.
At that moment, a young man in a purple robe stood with his hands behind his back at the peak, taking in all the scenery below.
"Someone captured Ding Hai and wants me to fight?"
The young man’s expression was neither sad nor happy, his eyes as bright as stars.
His aura was restrained, his momentum deep as an abyss.
Like a god in slumber, capable of unleashing earth-shattering power at any moment!
"Reporting to the young master, this person is not on the top hundred Celestial Pride List, just an arrogant fool ignorant of the extent of the heavens."
A middle-aged man prostrated on the ground, reporting respectfully.
"Then let the Sword Servant make a trip and exterminate his nine clans."
Hong Yu said indifferently.
He had been diligently cultivating in seclusion for years, his power far beyond the past.
Now only those in the top ten of the Celestial Pride List were worthy of his attention.
Meanwhile,
other ancient races and sacred lands, having heard of this, also stirred up a bit of commotion.
For years, many cultivators had wanted to challenge the heir of Infinite Mountain.
But to dare provoke Infinite Mountain to the death, only Lu Yuan dared!
After all, others wanted to defeat the heir to gain fame.
But Lu Yuan’s action was nothing short of courting death.
Even if he won luckily, Infinite Mountain would not spare him!
"It’s said that Lu Yuan even dared to publicly humiliate the followers of Hong Yu, quite bold!"
"Heh heh, everyone knows Infinite Mountain never lets grudges go unavenged. Unless a Venerable intervenes to save him, no matter how good his talent, he’s doomed to die!"
"Who do you think will win this time?"
"Who else could it be? Definitely His Highness Hong Yu."
All over the starry sky, many cultivators gathered to discuss, hardly anyone believing Lu Yuan could win.
After all, almost everyone in the top thirty of the Celestial Pride List is a monster.
Lu Yuan, an unknown kid, wanting to defeat the heir of Infinite Mountain is nothing but a fool’s dream!
"A mayfly shaking a tree, overestimating itself."
"The Sword Servant under Hong Yu’s command has already set out; this farce should end soon."
"Really dull, Hong Yu hasn’t taken action in years, I was hoping to see what progress he’s made."
Some top Celestial Pride List youths, having heard the news, quickly skimmed over the situation, then pushed it to the back of their minds.
In their eyes,
Lu Yuan is a nobody, not even on the bottom end of the top hundred Celestial Pride List.
If Hong Yu even looked at it, it would be a loss for Infinite Mountain!
Even the major ancient races and sacred lands couldn’t be bothered to spend time on this matter.
Just as everyone thought Lu Yuan was doomed,
another explosive piece of news swept across the starry sky like a storm!
"What did you say, the Sword Servant is dead?"
"Killed by Lu Yuan with a punch from a distance, without even a chance to draw the sword?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Upon learning this news,
many top Celestial Pride youths abruptly stood up, and even some strong persons from the ancient races and sacred lands could no longer remain calm and collected.
Reincarnation Sect.
An elder with white hair and a messy head was continuously tossing a large amount of precious medicinal materials into a pill furnace, seemingly refining some elixir.
A mischievous girl in a white dress suddenly pushed the door open and relayed the news to him.
"Yue’Er, is this true?"
The elder’s jade hand trembled, almost turning the whole furnace of materials to ashes.
"Master, what’s so special about this Sword Servant that makes you take it so seriously?"
Chu Yue asked in puzzlement.
"Yue’Er, though you are also one of the top Celestial Pride, your cultivation time has been short, so it’s normal not to know the origin of the Sword Servant."
The elder paused the alchemy, a wry smile appearing on his face.
