As the sect master's personal disciple and the most likely successor to the position, Wei Yun should have known about the major events currently unfolding.
However, Wei Yun gently shook her head, her stunningly beautiful face also covered in an expression of shock. In truth, she did not know either.
Boom—
A supremely powerful aura shot into the sky, accompanied by the diffusion of vast divine radiance. A formidable figure could clearly be seen.
"Sect Master!"
The many disciples immediately performed a grand bow of respect.
"Master!"
Wei Yun also saluted and came to the side of this supremely powerful figure.
This was a Quasi-Sovereign, one whose cultivation could be considered extremely strong. Looking across the entire Crimson Sun Immortal Domain, he was a top-tier super expert, the current sect master of the Noon Mountain Sect, who commanded all the power of a supreme sect left behind by an Ancient Sovereign.
Of course, the Noon Mountain Sect Master's strength was only relative to ordinary cultivators. At this moment, his usually calm and composed face was filled with solemnity. He spoke gravely, "Now, Immortal Prince Tai Xiao of the Tai'a Immortal King Domain is heading to the Immortal King Pass and will pass by our Noon Mountain Sect. I have received notification that he is very likely to pay a visit to our sect. During this period, we must be extremely careful and cautious. We cannot offend His Highness the Immortal Prince in the slightest. Even a trace of his anger would be enough to completely reduce our Noon Mountain Sect to ashes, utterly erasing it from this world!"
Hearing the sect master speak so seriously, the many elders and disciples of the Noon Mountain Sect naturally dared not be careless. At their level, they also understood the terrifying nature of such existences!
An Immortal Prince, the offspring of a peerless Immortal King, inheriting the most powerful immortal dao bloodline in the world, born close to immortality. As expected, achieving the Dao and becoming an immortal in the future would not be a major problem.
Moreover, an Immortal Prince's status was inherently incomparably noble, a great personage who could almost sit as an equal with a Supreme Immortal. How would they dare to offend him?
"So he is finally coming too?"
Within the Noon Mountain Sect, Ye Chen gazed into the distance towards the east, his vision piercing through the vast sky as if he could perceive everything in the world.
Not long after, an extremely noble immortal carriage flew through the air, trailing surging immortal light. A group of noble figures descended from the heavens, landing at the Noon Mountain Sect.
The leader was a young man in his early twenties, with a jade-like grace and an ethereal, transcendent bearing. He could be described as divinely handsome and outstanding, carrying an immortal aura that made him exceptionally extraordinary.
The Noon Mountain Sect Master, a Quasi-Sovereign, did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent. He immediately led a group of elders and disciples forward to welcome them, saying with utmost respect, "We pay our respects to Your Highness Tai Xiao."
The visiting Immortal Prince was the fifth son of the Tai'a Immortal King, also the youngest Immortal Prince, named Tai Xiao. He was truly conceived and born in this era, innately inheriting the most powerful Immortal King bloodline.
Now only in his early twenties, he had already cultivated to the Saint Treasury Realm.
And this was after having his innate Dao foundation severed at birth and cultivating anew. Moreover, during the past twenty years, he had placed great emphasis on his Dao foundation, not excessively raising his realm. Otherwise, with the Immortal King bloodline contained within him, it would have been enough for him to step into the cycle of reincarnation and thus ascend to the Heavenly King Realm.
Even so, he had still cultivated to the Saint Treasury Realm, standing at the Sixth Heaven. This could be considered an astonishing cultivation speed, andefying heaven / heaven-defying cultivation speed that ordinary Heaven's Prides could only look at from afar but never hope to reach.
Especially since Tai Xiao was a born Great Perfection Supreme Genius. The Immortal King bloodline within his body was incomparably vigorous, as if a peerless Immortal King lay dormant within him, supremely powerful.
Even when facing the Noon Mountain Sect Master at the Quasi-Sovereign Realm, he showed not the slightest hint of stage fright. On the contrary, the power of his Immortal King bloodline was boiling, causing the void to tremble and hum, almost unable to withstand it, astonishing all who saw it.
The Noon Mountain Sect Master felt his heart pound. Opening his eyes wide, he seemed to see a peerless Immortal King sitting cross-legged with closed eyes within Tai Xiao's body, as if ready to awaken completely at any moment. Threads of Immortal King aura were restrained within, yet they made this Quasi-Sovereign, whose realm was far above Tai Xiao's, feel as if his body was about to split apart.
It was as if he was facing a true immortal, not merely an Immortal Prince at the Saint Treasury Realm.
"Is this the legendary peerless Immortal King bloodline? It surpasses the various supreme bloodlines of the heavens by who knows how many levels. Even immortal dao bloodlines in their later stages can hardly compare." The people of the Noon Mountain Sect sighed in amazement. Such Immortal King bloodline gave the Immortal Prince innate, limitless advantages. One year of his cultivation could match decades or even centuries of others' cultivation. Moreover, realm bottlenecks were not a problem; with the passage of time, everything would naturally be resolved, and breakthroughs would be achieved.
Wei Yun let out a soft sigh, feeling somewhat downcast.
Although she could also be considered a Heaven's Pride talent rarely found in the world, having cultivated to the Saint Treasury Realm in her early thirties, which could be considered quite an astonishing cultivation speed, she admitted to herself that compared to the Immortal Prince Tai Xiao before her, the difference was vast, like a flickering firefly trying to compete with the sun and moon.
One had to admit that such a bloodline made people jealous—it was a heaven-defying level bloodline.
However, no one present dared to show the slightest hint of jealousy, because Tai Xiao was an Immortal Prince, his status incomparably noble. Even if a Supreme Immortal from the Crimson Sun Immortal Domain arrived in person, they would not dare to order Tai Xiao to kneel and show respect.
Tai Xiao had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a jade-like grace—a handsome, elegant young man. Immortal aura enveloped his entire body as if he were an Immortal King reborn, quite extraordinary. Now personally arriving at the Noon Mountain Sect, he was very polite, saying, "There is no need for such formalities, everyone. This time, on my way to the Immortal King Pass, passing by the Noon Mountain Sect, I have caused some disturbance."
The people of the Noon Mountain Sect were both flattered and alarmed. They hadn't expected Immortal Prince Tai Xiao to be so polite and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is too kind. This is only proper."
Immortal Prince Tai Xiao gave a slight nod and was about to leave when suddenly, someone stepped forward and said to him, "Your Highness, may I request a lesson or two?"
Hearing this, almost everyone in the Noon Mountain Sect felt their souls nearly flee in terror. Just which fool dared to come out and cause trouble at this moment?
Seeing that the person who stepped out was actually Ye Chen, the Noon Mountain Sect Master could only sigh helplessly and said, "Your Highness, please do not take offense. This is a Dao-obsessed individual of our Noon Mountain Sect, immersed in cultivation and ignorant of etiquette. Our Noon Mountain Sect begs for Your Highness's forgiveness."
Tai Xiao glanced at Ye Chen, his eyes shining with immortal light, perceiving much. He smiled faintly and said, "There is no need for self-blame. This prince observes that he has reached the tenth heaven of the Half-God Realm, achieving Great Perfection. He can be considered a Great Perfection Supreme Genius, quite good."
A Great Perfection Supreme Genius was indeed quite good. But Tai Xiao, as an Immortal Prince, had cultivated since childhood by the side of the Tai'a Immortal King and had seen countless geniuses. Even though true Great Perfection Supreme Geniuses were few and far between, he was not overly surprised.
Especially since he himself was also a Great Perfection Supreme Genius, one who had inherited the supremely peerless Immortal King bloodline.
"Somewhat interesting. Very well, this prince accepts your challenge," Tai Xiao said, wearing a faint, confident smile.
He was a generation's Immortal Prince, and his realm was the Saint Treasury Realm. He could see that Ye Chen was merely at the Divine Transformation Realm, and had just entered this realm at that. Therefore, he did not place too much importance on him.
Ye Chen suddenly said, "I have one condition. If I win, you must teach me the Divine Transformation chapter of the Tai'a Immortal King Scripture."
