Chapter 734: A Sea of Blooming Flowers

Looking at the crowd of people before him and feeling everyone’s push and shove, Ling Xian felt hopeless.


He really didn’t expect so many people would come here for the show. However, thinking about it logically, he realized that if there weren’t this many people, this festival wouldn’t be known for its magnificence.


“I will bear with it.”


Ling Xian chuckled bitterly. Wrapped around by people, he no longer needed to walk using his own two feet. As long as he holds himself upright, people would push him forward.


Before long, he had been shoved to the city center. Only here, did he truly realize the definition of an ocean of people.


There were far too many people. So many that it was difficult to picture.


Peering down, people were everywhere. It was almost impossible to estimate just how many people there were. However, one thing was for sure, the only appropriate way to describe this scene was “an ocean of people”.


Everyone was looking excited and ecstatic. They warmly sought after the beautiful woman standing in the center of the square with high antic.i.p.ation on their faces.


At the square, a graceful, proper, and well-developed woman stood with hands behind her back. She was the epiphany of beauty and majesty.


Behind the woman, six extraordinary looking young men stood proudly. All of them were emitting a divine aura that made them seem like immobile mountains.


“The feeling of the original level…”


Sensing the woman’s unstoppable waves of power, Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, “It appears that she is the leader of the City of Flowers, Hua Wan Yue.”


Then, Ling Xian s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards the six handsome men and immediately became interested.


Because he could sense that these people were at the peak of the completion level. Their extraordinary vibes made it obvious that they were specially raised descendants.


In other words, they were Heaven’s Favorites from the younger generation.


“Interesting. Ever since I arrived at Yuezhou, I haven’t fought against any powerhouses from the younger generation. I wonder if I have the opportunity to try this time.”


Ling Xian softly smiled, he had high hopes to clash with the true Heaven’s Favorites from Yuezhou.


“I’m sure everyone knows about the Flower Festival’s rules, so I won’t speak more to it. But before we start, I would like to formally introduce seven important guests.”


Hua Wan Yue gently smiled, yet amongst that smile, was a hint of an unmatchable dignity that silenced everyone’s loud discussions.


Then, she pointed towards the six handsome men behind her, “These six are the prominent heroes of Yuezhou and are the top Heaven’s Favorites from the younger generation in Yuezhou.”


At those words, the people exploded in awe.


“What! The Six Heroes of Yuezhou?”


“Legend has it that every single one of them is insanely powerful and is specially raised to be a powerful descendant. They are also the top powerhouses of Yuezhou out of the entire younger generation!”


“Yes, everyone is undefeatable at their realm and have no loss on their battle records. They are known to be insanely capable!”


Everyone chimed in to discuss with much respect in their tones. The female cultivators in the crowd blushed as they stared at the six men without blinking.


Men with capabilities, background, and appearances could easily attract women’s love.


“The Six Heroes of Yuezhou… interesting.”


Ling Xian’s smile intensified. He originally thought the six people were merely extraordinary Heaven’s Favorites. Only after listening to everyone’s discussions did he realize.


These six people were the strongest descendant from each force and were known as the Six Heroes of Yuezhou!


This nickname alone has made it obvious just how capable these people were. Or else they wouldn’t have acquired the nickname of being “heroes”.


Listening to the discussions below, the six people did not reveal any emotions and continued to stand proudly. They have heard these compliments so many times and were no longer affected by them.


“Next, I will introduce someone new to everyone. I believe this fairy will be feed the thirst of your eyes.”


Hua Wan Yue faintly grinned. “Fairy Yu, please show yourself.”


At those words, the water fountain at the middle of the square began to ripple. A woman wearing a long blue skirt walked out.


The moment she appeared, she attracted everyone’s attention like she was the Sun.


Her beauty was out of the world and could bring all men in the nation down to their knees. Her figure was slim, but curvy. Her temperament was out of the world and mimicked a real immortal’s. She truly has surpa.s.sed all women of her generation and was indescribable.


Beautiful!


So beautiful that others’ souls were shaking. It was as if all the vocabularies in the world used to describe beauty were not enough to express how she looked.


“Beautiful, too beautiful. I can’t, I can’t. She has claimed my heart.”


“Me too. She is extremely beautiful. If I am not seeing her in real life right now, I never would’ve imagined such beauty to exist in our world.”


Everyone continued to discuss. The majority of the male cultivators eyes were bleeding with fire.


Even the six proudly looking heroes were finding it difficult to compose themselves. Their eyes flashed with l.u.s.t.


The only man who kept his cool was Ling Xian.


He no longer had any feelings towards Yu Wu Xiu. There was no love, nor hate. Also, don’t forget that the woman was his servant. Thinking about how all these men here were l.u.s.ting over his female slave, he very much wanted to laugh out loud.


However, he did find it a little surprising that she was at the City of Flowers.


“Could it be… that she is here to view the Flower Festival?”


Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. It wasn’t that his guess was completely impossible, it was just that at a sensitive time, when the G.o.ddess of Flower was about to be chosen, it would be far too big of a coincidence for her to be here.


Based on his understanding of this woman, she would never let go of any opportunity that would allow her to step up in society. In other words, she probably came just to be chosen to be the G.o.ddess of Flower.


“The G.o.ddess of Flower t.i.tle that was stripped from this city thousands of years ago… Yu Wu Xiu, who came from the Shang Qing Sect… six Heaven’s Favorites… this entire thing is getting more and more interesting.”


Ling Xian softly smiled. Based on everything that has happened, he could sense how unusual everything is.


Then, he no longer thought about it and s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards Hua Wan Yue.


“I was right. Looking at Fairy Yu made all of you drool.”


Hua Wan Yue chuckled. “Fairy Yu truly is the beauty of the century. Your attractiveness is something even I am jealous of.”


“You have flattered me, leader, you are the one who’s irreplaceable,” Yu Wu Xiu said in return.


“You sure know how to talk.”


Hua Wan Yue smiled slightly and peered down onto everyone else, “Alright, now that you have met all the important guests, it is time for us to start the Flower Festival.”


At those words, the entire place exploded with cheers that were as loud as waves cras.h.i.+ng against rocks.


Then, everyone all took out the strange flowers they have been growing themselves and held them over their heads.


The strangely shaped and strangely colored flowers converged to form on grand image.


Of course, these flowers have yet to bloom. Only after a mysterious spell, will they begin to bloom.


Only then, will it truly be a Sea of Flowers.


“Next, I invite all our important guests and the entire city’s citizens to come view this amazing scenery.”


Then, Hua Wan Yue formed a hand seal that resulted in all the flowers blossoming. The flowers surrounded the entire population.


Or to put it more accurately, the flower above everyone’s head blossomed.


At this, the antic.i.p.ation in Ling Xian’s eyes intensified as he stared at the strange flowers. He knew that the Flower Festival was about to begin.


Just as he expected, after a few breaths of time, an unbelievable scene occurred.


As if the flowers have just been blessed with the nourishment of life, they began to bloom. First, there were one flower, two flowers, then eight flowers, then ten. Before long, hundreds and thousands of flowers bloomed.


An intense and heavy aroma began to spread, making everyone feel refreshed and relaxed.


Then, the true sea of flowers appeared.


The colorful flowers all came together to form a sea of flowers that were grand, rosy, dazzling, and stunning.


Colors filled the s.p.a.ce, s.n.a.t.c.hing everyone’s attention. All vocabularies to describe beauty could not describe this scenery sufficiently and effectively.


Everything was extremely beautiful and incomprehensibly beautiful!


Everyone was drunk off this scenery as they inhaled the heavy aroma and enjoyed the dream-like view.


Even Ling Xian was drowning and exclaimed over this sea of flowers’ loveliness.


Just then, a strange image appeared before his eyes.


He saw an extremely pretty woman starting to prance. Like a fairy born from a flower, her laughter enticed his soul.


Instantly, his expression became static. However, he had a strong mentality and woke himself up from the hallucination.


“Was that… an illusion?”


Ling Xian softly frowned and after confirming that the hallucination would not effect himself anymore, he no longer worried. With a smile, he said, “It’s probably the side effect of seeing hundreds and thousands of flowers blooming at the same time.”


Then, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards everyone around him. He saw that elders, men, women, and children, were all seemingly drunk – as if they had seen something beautiful.


“It looks like they cannot drag themselves out of the illusion they are seeing.”


Laughing and shaking his head, Ling Xian then checked out the podium before him. He saw that all six heroes and Yu Wu Xiu were even looking drunk and have lost themselves.


Only one other person had remained clear-headed.


At the same time, Hua Wan Yue also saw Ling Xian. They exchanged glances and sparks flew.


“Interesting. He wasn’t affected by the illusions and woke himself up. Could it be that he is of the original level like I am?”


Hua Wan Yue raised an eyebrow as she tentatively checked out the handsome young man below.


“There is no need to investigate into me. I am not of the original level.” Ling Xian smiled.


“Then it makes you even more interesting. I have to look into you.”


Hua Wan Yue gently smiled. “The sea of flowers created an illusion and only powerhouses stronger than the original level can remain themselves in the face of it. You are not of the original level yet you are unaffected. Doesn’t that deserve my interest?”


“Then you can try. I will stand right here and I will let you investigate however you want.”


Ling Xian had a soft grin on his lips as he stared straight at this original leveled cultivator. His expression was as calm as ever and there was no trace of fear.


With his capabilities now, he still wouldn’t be able to defeat an original level, but he could protect himself against one.


“Young man, your calmness towards me alone is not something others can compare.”


Hua Wan Yue stared at Ling Xian and then retraced her own Qi that were searching through his body.


For some odd reason, she had a feeling that the young man before her was equivalent to an ancient beast and she shouldn’t offend him.
