Chapter 1695: Gathering of Shining Stars

Great Luo Sword Mountain, Sword Emperor Qingyu, Jian Qingchen, Imperial Sword of Edict, Great Luo Ancient Domain…

All those were like clues that connected to Wei Ziya.

Lin Xun guessed that Wei Ziya’s hostile intention towards him stemmed from the disastrous defeat of the Great Luo Camp.

“Wei Ziya, are you also interested in the Flying Immortal Tablets?” asked Lu Beigu, a supreme Big Saint from the Red Sun Battle Clan, who was sitting cross-legged on the red flame python dragon.

“I am more interested in that kid Lin Xun.”

Wei Ziya answered indifferently, “Our Great Luo Sword Mountain had our eyes on a young man called Jian Qingchen, but he was killed by that kid. This matter has even alarmed Grandmaster Qingyu.”

Grandmaster Qingyu!

There was silence in the area. Everyone knew that Wei Ziya was talking about Sword Emperor Qingyu, a powerful character who had long made a name for himself in the Ancient Nebula Road.

It turned out that even Sword Emperor Qingyu was startled by the news of Jian Qingchen’s death and as a successor of Great Luo Sword Mountain, Wei Ziya came to the Kunlun Dominion most likely because he was tasked with the responsibility of killing Lin Xun!

Lin Xun and A’hu exchanged a glance. They both shared the same thought.

“We may be able to work together,” Lu Beigu negotiated. “I want the Flying Immortal Tablet so Lin Xun can be yours.”

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, someone snorted, “Ridiculous! Lu Beigu, who do you think you are? How dare you to be after the Flying Immortal Tablet.”

“Who is it?” Lu Beigu’s face darkened.

He turned his head, and his expression subtly changed. “It’s you, Kun Jiulin!”

A commotion broke out in the crowd as everyone turned in the same direction at the same time.

They were greeted by a tall and imposing figure hovering in midair with his hands behind his back, and eyes as deep and threatening as a swirling whirlpool.

Beside him stood a group of experts, which added to his domineering and mighty bearing.

Kun Jiulin, a successor of the Primordial Dao Court, one of the Great Six Courts, was ranked 244th on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

He held a much higher rank than Wei Ziya.

But what was most terrifying about Kun Jiulin was that he was a pure-blooded descendant of the Imperial Kun Clan. Adding to this, he belonged to a sect that was one of the Great Six Courts. This dual background alone was enough to instill fear in anyone!

All of a sudden, all attention was focused on Kun Jiulin.

So far, he was the strongest supreme Big Saint present in terms of identity, status and strength.

Kun Jiulin’s deep and resounding voice boomed out like a clap of thunder.

“I, Kun Jiulin, will say this now, Lin Xun is my prey. Anyone who dares to snatch him away is going against me!”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Even Lu Beigu and Wei Ziya kept quiet. They were aware of Kun Jiulin’s power so it would be wise to not get on his bad side at this time.

“It seems like many people are after you.” A’hu’s voice was tinged with a strange tone, as if she was teasing him.

Lin Xun shrugged. “There’s nothing I can do. No floating clouds can ever block my vision for I am at the top of the world.”

A’hu almost laughed out loud.

How is he still in the mood to make a joke? Does he regard Kun Jiulin, Lu Beigu, Wei Ziya and the others all as nothing but floating clouds?

Jingle~

Suddenly, a pleasant jingle rang in the air, followed by a huge fire phoenix swooping in. Its gorgeous wings rained thousands of dazzling lights like a sacred and holy being.

Sitting astride the fire phoenix were around five to six men and women, all of whom had an incredible aura around them like celestial beings from above.

They were headed by a slim woman with long black hair flowing down her white dress, and a golden belt around her waist.

Her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as those traced in famous paintings. Her fair skin was like the purest snow, and her eyes were as clear as pure spring water. Her lips were red and her teeth were perfectly white. Her entire body was free of worldly aura.

Ethereal and pure, she was like a fairy from the moon palace.

Her appearance instantly took all cultivators’ breath away.

The fire phoenix made a light movement, and the woman in white floated down gracefully. Behind her, the group of men and women were also remarkably beautiful and elegant, but their brilliance was dimmed beside the woman in white.

Only Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

Many people would be immediately drawn to the woman’s captivating beauty, but in Lin Xun’s eyes, the woman had an aura that made him instinctively feel danger.

“Who is she?”

“Wen Qingxue!”

“Turns out to be her…”

The crowd stirred restlessly.

Many cultivators reacted out loud. Wen Qingxue was a successor of the Panwu Dao Court, one of the Great Six Courts!

Her beauty was unparalleled, and she was ranked third on Starry Sky Talented Beauty Rankings.

Her strength was just as impressive and had earned her a ranking of 93rd on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings!

In the Ancient Nebula Road, countless outstanding figures were admirers of Wen Qingxue.

A famous person once commented, “Maiden Wen Qingxue’s beauty and grace is out of this world. She is a rare beauty seen only once in thousands of years!”

“A bunch of disgusting men.”

Lin Xun heard a snort in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw A’hu with her hands behind her back and the corners of her lips slightly raised with disdain.

Lin Xun was at a little loss for words.

He thought of A’hu’s true appearance. If she was not in her disguise, her beauty would not be in any way inferior to Wen Qingxue’s.

Moreover, A’hu had a natural charm. Her every frown, smile, gesture, and movement could lead to the destruction of a nation. Even an old Buddhist monk would feel weak at the knees in front of her.

However, in truth it was really hard to compare them.

Beautiful women were like plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums—each had their own beauty and unique charm.

Wen Qingxue seemed accustomed to the gazes and attention from everyone around her. She ignored them all and strode into the area.

Her white clothes were whiter than snow, her hair was as black as ink, and her figure was slender and graceful like a fairy descending upon the world. Some cultivators couldn’t help but feel inferior in her presence.

Suddenly, Kun Jiulin spoke out in a loud and powerful voice:

“Fairy Qingxue, every hundred years, the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings will be re-ranked. Now, there are less than five years left until the next reevaluation. I am confident that my ranking this time will be among the top one hundred!”

“What does that have to do with me?” Wen Qingxue said indifferently, her voice as clear and melodious as the tinkling of jade pendants.

It was no exaggeration to say that her voice was like the sound of heaven.

Kun Jiulin’s eyes blazed covetously as he stared at Wen Qingxue. “When I first met you, I believe that you said that you would consider dating me if I made it onto the top 100.”

His words caused a stir in the crowd.

No one would have imagined that such an interaction had actually happened between Kun Jiulin and Wen Qingxue.

Wen Qingxue uttered calmly, “I said consider, not agree. Why don’t you surpass my ranking on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings first before we speak?”

Kun Jiulin was not discouraged at all, and instead he said with great enthusiasm, “From this trip to the Kunlun Dominion, I am fully confident that I can make significant progress in my cultivation. If I indeed surpass Fairy Qingxue in the next re-ranking, then haha, you can’t decline my courtship anymore!”

Wen Qingxue simply uttered a noise in acknowledgement. Her face that was as beautiful as a painting was without a ripple of expression, as if she did not care at all.

Rumble!

Space vibrated, and the sound of footsteps echoed louder and louder from the distance like thunderclaps.

The sound of those footsteps struck at the mind. Many people almost could not withstand the force and coughed up blood.

In the distance, a slender figure draped in a black robe floated over, and under the brim of her hat, her eyes glinted as bright as a pair of blades.

She was carrying a narrow blade that was around ten feet long. The snow-white blade that was almost the same length of her slender figure gave a visually striking sight.

In particular, with every step she took, the nearby space would ripple and split with cobweb-like cracks, filling the air with a fierce and chilling aura.

She was clearly a beautiful woman. Her fingers around the blade were as smooth as jade, and her wrist was whiter than snow. Her clear and almost translucent skin had a beautiful sheen.

Kun Jiulin, Wei Ziya and Lu Beigu all couldn’t help but narrow their eyes.

She...is here too?

Wen Qingxue also swept a glance over the ‘astonishing figure,’ and then looked away.

As for the others, their faces all became tinged with a mix of fear and horror. They thought of the renowned Blade Maniac of the Ancient Nebula Road—

Tang Su!

She was a peerless talent from one of the Great Ten Battle Clans, the Wild Blade Battle Clan, and a woman known as a blade genius.

A peerless bladeswoman ranked 79th on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings!

“The entrance to the Kunlun Dominion has yet to be opened. Does anyone want a duel before then?” Tang Su scanned the crowd the moment she arrived.

Her voice was deep and magnetic, though there was a biting coldness that could cut someone’s throat like a knife.

Everyone kept quiet, thinking to themselves, who in the Ancient Nebula Road did not know Blade Maniac Tang Su was crazy about fighting?

It was not an exaggeration to say that she was like a female asura.

Over the years, Tang Su had taken the lives of countless opponents with her Skycutter Blade. Her fierce and violent nature made no way dared to treat her as a woman.

“Kun Jiulin, do you want to play?”

Tang Su’s gaze fell on Kun Jiulin.

He snorted, “When the snipe and the oyster fight, it is the fisherman who benefits. If you really want to play then I will accompany you when we get into the Kunlun Dominion.”

“Coward,” Tang Su remarked bluntly.

“You…” Kun Jiulin’s face darkened.

But Tang Su paid no more attention to him and shifted her gaze to Wen Qingxue and said aloud, “Wen Qingxue, do you want to spar with me?”

Wen Qingxue said calmly, “You are about to make a breakthrough; I don’t want to be your sharpening stone.”

Tang Su nodded and seemed a little disappointed. She put away her long and sharp Skycutter Blade with a clang, took out a wine pot, and started chugging alone.

Her bold, unrestrained, and calm bearing made many men ashamed.

Some women’s eyes sparkled, impressed by Tang Su’s disdainfully proud attitude.

“Interesting.” Lin Xun exclaimed to himself.

Tang Su’s aura was sharp and biting-cold, like an unruly gale in the sky. It was indeed rare for a woman to possess such aura.

A’hu sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun, “That woman is not an ordinary person. I heard that when she ascended to the Supreme Big Saint Stage, she once said, ‘My blade is the dao, and the dao is my blade.’ Even an Emperor expert from the Wild Blade Battle Clan was alarmed and believed that Tang Su would become an unparalleled Blade Empress in the starry sky one day.”

Lin Xun’s countenance changed.

He studied Tang Su with a strange look.

Such a remarkable woman who is as capable as any man is only ranked 79th on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

What other extraordinary characters are ranked above her?

There’s also Wen Qingxue, Kun Jiulin and Wei Ziya...They are all amazing, but they do not hold a particularly high position on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

By comparing it like this, it’s clear that the characters ranked at the top of Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings have to be outstandingly powerful!
