Chapter 1147 – Gathering
“Priestess, you do not need to leave Ethereal. I’m sure that prideful half-demon will come to the conference as well.” Zhang Guyue said.
Shangguan Mingqian nodded and said: “Xuanyuan Yiyi is back now. Given her love for the limelight, she’ll want to help find Heaven Jewel. This is a good opportunity to deal with her.”
“She is adored by the deity, it might be problematic to move against her.” Zhang Guyue became afraid.
“Fool, there is an immemorial demon here, he’ll be the one to eliminate her for me.” Mingqian smirked. Although she was more beautiful than the moon, she looked rather frightening.

The missing treasure caused quite a stir in Radiance World and even affected Ethereal Dynasty.
Members of Aquamoon, the four guardian clans, antiquity clans, and even demons came to visit, causing the nearby cities to be packed.
Moreover, a white-robed priestess of Aquamoon was kidnapped recently. This piqued everyone’s interest as well.
A group of cultivators gathered inside a floating jade palace and discussed recent events.
“I heard Heaven Jewel is made from a saint-level material. The entire territory heard a pleasant ringing when it was formed.”
“Yes, a sacred embryo. All saints eventually craft a treasure for themselves, not just the deity.”
“It has a soulstone in there too, or so I’ve heard. It was being refined in Divine Fire Realm but for some reason, a thief actually managed to steal it.”
“No wonder why so many experts are coming to find it.”
“Who can steal an item right under the deity’s nose?”
In the corner of the palace was a young n.o.ble sitting with eight beautiful servants and two gray-robed old men.
His skin was whiter than any woman’s. He waved his paper fan back and forth.
This was none other than the princess of Crimson - Liu Suzi.
“You all don’t know that the deity is experiencing a mental tribulation up above, the guardians are all protecting her. This was the reason why the thief managed to steal it.” Liu Suzi smiled.
An old man nodded and said: “Yes, there is a mental tribulation every 5,874 years while training with the Heart Meditation Sword Scripture. It’s either becoming significantly stronger or death. I think the timing is about right since the deity’s last tribulation.”
Some listeners heard this and quietly left the palace.
“The conference is about to begin, Aquamoon Deity is the only human qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the Supreme Conference, who will partic.i.p.ate now?” Someone else in the palace said.
This came from a group of five - clearly demons due to their auras. It included three men and two women and a large entourage of servants.
The speaker had golden hair and sharp brows along with an oppressive aura.
Feiyun and Ximmen Chuixiao were sitting on a higher floor and heard the comment from the male demon - clearly looking down on humans.
“The fourth prince of the golden crow. How is he still so arrogant after the lesson at the alchemy market?” Feiyun smirked while raising his cup.
“What are you trying to say?” A historical genius on the lower floor disliked the arrogant demons.
“I’m afraid that despite being the host, humans might not have an eligible master to partic.i.p.ate, that would be rather embarra.s.sing, haha.” The fourth prince sneered.
“Let’s find out if we’re qualified or not!” The historical genius kicked a chair, sending it straight at the prince.
The prince waved his hand and a golden radiance destroyed the seat, causing jade pieces to fly everywhere.
The genius summoned three lightning bolts and sent them towards the prince.
“How foolish and impatient, he’s asking for it.” The prince smiled.
“Human geniuses are garbage, even a weak member of our tribe is stronger than them.” Another demon sneered.
“d.a.m.n right.” The fourth prince summoned a golden halo and quickly destroyed the lightning bolts.
The seal then struck the genius’ chest, sending him flying. He smashed into a table and couldn’t get up again, vomiting blood continuously.
“That was only twenty percent of my cultivation.” The prince proudly declared.
“These demons are so arrogant, how dare they act like this on our territory?!” Everyone was furious to see this.
Shangguan Mingqian and the four priestesses were present as well. The tall genius, Zhong Shenxiu and Zhang Guyue sat nearby.
Moreover, Heaven Calculating Scholar, Formless, Dongfang Jingyue, Su Yun, and many others were here.
The normally friendly scholar frowned, clearly unhappy.
The five demons ignored the tense atmosphere and continued drinking and chatting.
“Immemorial demons are the rulers of West Bull, the conference is always filled with demon partic.i.p.ants. I wonder if humans will have one or two this time.” One of them said.
“I might not be among the top one thousand in our clan but I’m sure I can crush any human genius. This is a fundamental difference between our two races.” The fourth prince laughed.
“Boom!” Dongfang Jingshui and Su Yun slapped the table in unison. It was one thing for the demons to insult them but they were insulting the entire human race.
“The two of you disagree?” The fourth prince glanced at them.
“Indeed.” Dongfang Jingshui said. His talent was excellent but he was held back by the barren lands of Jin.
After entering War Faction and gaining enough resources, he and Su Yun’s cultivation soared like the wind and reached the seventh level of Nirvana. Their talent was at the peak historical level now.
Humans also had merit laws capable of boosting one’s talent and physical prowess. They just weren’t as strong as Immortal Phoenix Physique.
Children of powerful clans utilized alchemy materials and best merit laws in order to reach the historical level.
This was the reason why Sixth Central had so many top geniuses. Their talent was improved after birth.
However, Dongfang Jingshui and Su Yun were gifted since birth, hence being recruited by Heaven Calculating Scholar.
Feng Feiyun was not surprised to see their current cultivation. He knew that they had all the right characteristics to become great.
Moreover, there was a high chance that they were reincarnations of cultivators from Time Immemorial. Thus, they were blessed with fortune as well.
Dragons were meant to soar after leaving the pond. Nothing could hold them back.
