Translator: Tamon Translation Checker: Silavin The Continent Assembly was held at the Ancient Phoenix Sect’s Dragon Phoenix Lake. It had thick Spiritual Energy, mesmerizing scenery, and auspicious phenomena. The sunlight hit the water just right to bathe the landscape in an otherworldly multicoloured glow. Gazing from afar, the mountains and river entwined into a Masterpiece; the flowing streams continued for countless distances and the mountain ranges depicting a miniature Milky Way with their towering peaks. All added their unique flair to this Immortal painting. Aside from the lake’s natural enrapturing scenery, countless lights, Demon glows, riding clouds, and riding swords flitted across the skies, adding more colour through diversity as beings from all around the continent came. The countless cultivators and beings all bustled about and chatted. Dong! The Phoenix Bell rang, signifying the arrival of an Honoured guest. The big names of all forces, be it at Spirit Severing or Empty Immortal Stage, were all welcomed. The one to come this time was Cloud Province Lord, Elder of the Cloud Province Cauldron. His Immortal Slayer status and honourable position demanded respect. Next to him were three Immortal Heritage Clans’ leaders, Tang’s, Shi’s, and Zhong’s, as well as the many young talents of their youngest generation. One could practically feel the pride oozing out of them. “Cloud Province Lord came as well, along with Cloud Province’s three Immortal Heritage Clans and their scions. There has never been such an assembly in ages.” “Yeah, with Cloud Province Lord arriving, that makes eight out of nine present.” “Today is the start of the Continent Assembly, yet there’s still no sight of that Senior. Will he be participating, I wonder?” “I overheard a Mist Province cultivator say the Senior arrived.” “How certain is this information?” Many cultivators grew excited. “Most likely true. There are cultivators from Myriad Mountains as well; the women and he are close. For them to say he’s here, it must be true.” “I heard Senior is peerless, the hallmark of this world. Most of the honoured guests are here because of him.” “Yeah, Senior did remove an Immortal in one slap, then there’s that sudden Buddhist Aura flaring over Ghost Province two days ago. The Buddhist Dragon was Senior’s doing as well.” “With such skill, his power spread for thousands of kilometres. People are scared and lost. Many would probably crumble in despair if they witnessed Senior’s full power on display right before their eyes.” The rumour mill worked doubly fast, especially at such gatherings, leaving no cultivator or being untouched. What was consistent, however, was the mention of Chen Changan in some way or another. On the lake’s shore, a stunning woman stood, with a charming complexion and riveting features. Her coy smile was directed at the jumping Butterfly Koi. She was the peerless enchantress that up and left Verdant Province. She overheard the constant discussions, and her eyes shone. “Absolute Dominator Chen Changan slapped an Immortal dead. Just what is he?” She closed her eyes, [Seventh Princess’ recultivation Immortal Mark’s signature is faint, but definitely here, at the Ancient Phoenix Sect.] She opened her eyes again, scanning the many scions and geniuses about. Her gaze froze on one woman. Bai Yue! “Seventh princes, I found you!” The enchantress smiled, drawing eyes from all around. She made her way to Bai Yue. The Phoenix Bell rang once more. Nine Phoenixes took to the skies, the clouds shimmered, and the Immortal Chant was heard as 9,999 augury lights and Immortal Glows formed a blazing sun that basked the lands in light. It was the highest form of respect when welcoming honoured guests at the Continent Assembly, Nine Phoenix Dawn. All chatter ceased; even breathing stopped as the people gazed with eagerness. [Just who is coming?] The Heavens and Earth shifted as images covered the sky. A golden path formed its way over. A Dragon soared, a Phoenix circled, the Black Tortoise treaded, and the Tiger stood guard. The four apparitions displayed their might to herald the coming of a God King, an Immortal Emperor!
