Ancestor Above - Chapter 278
278 Gathering of geniuses
Two years later, in the sea East of Great Yan’s Pingzhou, a flying shuttle was flying rapidly between the clouds.
After passing through a cloud area, they saw a huge immortal Palace standing in the clouds.
The pavilions and buildings, the flying eaves and palaces, were Grand and magnificent. They were stacked on top of each other like mountain peaks.
!!
If that was all, then it was fine. Which of the people on the flying shuttle didn’t come from a large sect? Although this scene looked even more majestic than his own sect, it was just like that. It didn’t exceed it by too much.
However, if all of this was built on a layer of clouds, it was a completely different matter.
The cloud that dragged the palace was like a mountain peak. A single cloud supported a Hall, and dozens of them were stacked on top of each other. They were all in a picturesque disorder, as if they were in line with some sort of wondrous principle. They gave off a special feeling and appeared very beautiful.
“It’s even more beautiful than Green Peak Mountain.” Weiwen praised sincerely.
Her thoughts were quite simple.
Wynn nodded at the side.
However, at this moment, an ear-piercing voice came from the side, ” “A country bumpkin from the countryside, Yingluo.”
His voice was soft, but it seemed to be just enough for the two of them to hear.
Weiwen looked in that direction. As expected, it was Zhao Nanheng.
She narrowed her eyes and threatened,”you weren’t scared of being beaten up last time, but you want to get beaten up again?”
Zhao Nanheng shrunk his neck.
The Zhao family’s quota had been reduced by one, but there was still one left. This Zhao Nanheng was the person sent by the Zhao family after the opening of the celestial Palace’s reflection.
It was obvious that this kid knew the origin of the conflict between the two.
He didn’t have any feelings for his distant relatives in the North. They were all strangers to him, and they had been separated from the family for so many years. However, those people’s surname was Zhao, and they would be a little unhappy if they died in the hands of outsiders.
Most importantly, one of the two spots that should have belonged to the Zhao clan had been snatched away by the Qingfeng sect.
This made him very unhappy.
In the capital city of Wuzhou state, after the 100 junior cultivators from Yan city who were going to explore the reflection in the immortal Palace had gathered, he had seen Lu Weiwen and Lu Wenen, and he had not stopped finding fault with them.
In the beginning, Lu Wenen and Lu Weiwen were more or less tolerant of this.
After all, he was away from home and not in the Feiyun state. He had to be polite and reasonable to others.
However, as the saying goes, the more you endure it, the angrier you get, and the more you take a step back, the more you lose.
Wenen was fine. Weiwen looked gentle, but her temper was really not good.
After tolerating it a few times, this Zhao Nanheng still dared to open his mouth and talk nonsense in front of the two of them. Then, there was really nothing to endure. Lu Weiwen made a move and gave this guy a beating on the spot.
Of course, she knew her limits and would not kill him.
Zhao Nanheng, who had been beaten up, was dumbfounded. He really didn’t expect that someone would really dare to hit someone in front of everyone on the flying shuttle.
Then, he felt a sense of anger and humiliation.
He didn’t fight on the spot, so he attributed it to the opponent’s sudden attack, which was suspected to be a sneak attack.
Then, the second time, he openly wanted to fight with Lu Weiwen.
The initial enlightenment stage Yunxiao sect cultivator who was in charge of them seemed to be rather interested in the battle between these young and aggressive juniors. Not only did he not stop them, but he also became a spectator and judge.
And this time, Zhao Nanheng had lost again. This time, there were more people watching the battle, and there were also some elders who managed the shuttle. It was not easy for someone to die or something big to happen, so Weiwen was even more ruthless. She made him lie in bed until the date of departure of the shuttle.
Zhao Nanheng had really lost all his face. Many people now looked at him as if he was a joke.
He no longer dared to cause trouble for the Lu siblings openly, so he could only stand at the side and make fun of them.
Weiwen also didn’t pamper him.
She squinted her eyes and looked at him, saying, ” “Do you want to get another beating?”
“Hmph!”
Zhao Nanheng turned his head away and did not speak anymore.
He was really a little afraid that it wouldn’t be good to get another beating.
However, the soft laughter that followed made him blush a little.
On the other hand, the way people looked at the Lu siblings was somewhat intriguing.
Others might not know, but those who had come from Yan city and were recommended by the Imperial court and the other three great clans knew of Zhao Nanheng’s strength.
If this man didn’t have any ability, how could he be pushed by the Zhao family of Yan city to explore the immortal Palace?
In reality, many of the people who were ridiculing him were not Zhao Nanheng’s match.
And in the multiple fights of magical powers, Zhao Nanheng had been completely defeated. Furthermore, it was almost as if he did not have any chance of turning the tables. This was a little terrifying.
The siblings from the Lu family, who came from a lowly place like the Feiyun state, were unexpectedly strong.
At this moment, a young man with an imposing appearance walked over from nearby.
Many people saluted him when they saw him.
Wynn and Weiwen also noticed it.
This person was called Qi Fang. There was nothing special about his name, but his identity was very important-the leader of the Yunxiao sect disciples on this trip, the first seat of the ninth generation disciples!
Yunxiao sect’s disciples were divided into generations from the oldest living Grand Elder of Yunxiao sect to the first generation. Then, they were gradually divided. As long as the first generation of cultivators were all dead or retired, the second generation would be promoted to the first generation, and the later generations would be promoted.
The ninth generation was considered the new generation.
With Yunxiao sect’s abilities, there were already initial enlightenment cultivators among the ninth generation of disciples.
But even so, Qi Fang was still the first seat.
This meant that under the Yunxiao sect’s rules, all the ninth generation disciples had to address him as eldest senior brother respectfully when they saw him, regardless of their abilities.
From this, one could see what kind of person he was.
It was said that he had a golden heaven spiritual root, and there were rumors that he had already awakened his sacred art when he had just built his Foundation.
That was a sacred art that many golden core cultivators dreamed of!
With such a level of talent, he would definitely be able to reach the nascent Soul Stage in the future.
He wasn’t even sixty years old yet, but in fact, he could have broken through to the initial enlightenment stage in the past ten years. However, for the sake of the celestial Palace’s reflection that was about to be opened, he forcibly suppressed his cultivation and stopped at his current level.
As far as people knew, if anyone could break into the core area of the immortal Palace after the opening of the reflection in the immortal Palace, Qi Fang would be the most promising one, at least among the 100 cultivators sent by the Yan Kingdom.
The Yunxiao sect cultivators were proud. Under normal circumstances, they would form their own circle and would not mingle with outsiders. Even for the conflicts between Weiwen and Zhao Nanheng, these proud geniuses of Yunxiao sect often turned a blind eye to them or talked about them as a joke in private. They would not deliberately join in the fun.
All of a sudden, Qi Fang walked over, and it was obvious that he was here for the Lu siblings. This was a bit intriguing.
Many people’s eyes followed his figure, wanting to see what this Yunxiao sect’s ninth generation eldest senior brother had to say.
Weiwen still looked fearless, but Wenen, who was more knowledgeable about the world, was a little nervous.
Hello, senior brother Qi. How may I help you? ” Wenen was still quite polite.
Qi Fang showed a gentle smile. He cupped his hands and bowed to the two of them, saying, ” “It’s nothing. I just heard that the Lu family of the Feiyun state has two outstanding geniuses, so I came over to get to know them. the immortal Palace’s reflection will open in seven days. All of us will be scattered in different places in the immortal Palace after entering it, but we will still have the chance to meet. What I want to say is that if we meet in the immortal Palace, we can work together. No matter what, the more cultivators from the country of Yan who have reached the core area, the better. Don’t let the people of Qi get the first place.”
From his words and his attitude, it was clear that he had come with good intentions.
Wenen smiled. senior brother Qi, you’re too polite. If there’s a chance to work together in the immortal Palace, we’ll naturally travel with you and help each other.
“That’s good.”
Qi Fang didn’t say anything more. He showed a bright smile and left.
After he left, a person who looked a little chubby came up to him.
“Junior Brother Wenen, Junior Sister Weiwen, congratulations.”
He turned his head and saw that it was hai xiqian.
This hai xiqian was naturally the one who had set off from the Feiyun state with them and had given the other of the Qingfeng sect’s three slots to the hai clan.
“What’s there to congratulate?” Weiwen said indifferently.
“That’s senior brother Qi Fang! Isn’t it worth congratulating him for taking the initiative to greet you?”
“Oh.” Weiwen still looked indifferent.
“AI, Yingluo, you two are Immortals, so you don’t care. But I’ll accept it for you, which is actually a very good opportunity. If he could become good friends with this senior brother Qi, he would be rich. It’s not just for you guys, it’ll be beneficial for the entire Lu family!”
“Then let’s just be friends. I can see that his attitude is quite good. He’s not bad.”
Hai xiqian choked and changed the topic.
He pretended to sigh and said, ” “I, old brother hai, also know my own worth. I won’t ask for more things. After entering the immortal Palace, I want to get as many benefits as possible in the periphery. If we meet again, please help me out. When we return to the Feiyun state, I’ll definitely give you a gift of thanks!”
“Well said, well said.” Wynn continued the conversation with a smile.
He had some understanding of the heisiqian.
This guy could be considered the number one genius of the hai clan. He was only 70 years old, but he was already in the ninth-tier foundation building realm. With the support of the hai clan, his future would definitely be stable. In the entire Feiyun state, this kind of progress could be considered the first level.
Hai xiqian had always been very proud of this.
However, after taking the airboat to the capital of Wuzhou state and then meeting with the 100 geniuses who could be considered the most talented in the foundation establishment stage in the Yan country, his initial pride was undoubtedly shattered.
There’s always someone better than you. This saying was really suitable at this time.
He was the number one genius in the hai family, and the number one genius in the Feiyun state. Compared to the hundred foundation building cultivators carefully selected from the entire Yan Kingdom, his talent and achievement were really nothing.
Among the hundred people, he was almost at the bottom. Moreover, he was at the very bottom. The people at the top could easily crush him.
Sometimes, he would wonder why there was such a huge difference in strength when they were both ninth-tier foundation building cultivators and had no difference in cultivation.
This had completely subverted his imagination.
However, his adaptability was quite strong.
If you can’t win, then don’t!
He didn’t want to think about breaking into the last layer of the Penglai divine Palace, entering the core area, and obtaining the greatest benefits. He was fully aware of the reality. This kind of thing basically had nothing to do with him.
To be more practical, all he could do was to get as many benefits as possible from the periphery and then make friends. Among these one hundred people, a large proportion of them could produce a lot of Qiming in the future. They might even produce a lot of Jindan. It would not be a loss to build a good relationship with anyone.
During this period of time, he had been very active in making friends everywhere, and he really did make some friends.
As for how sincere he was, that was another matter.
But among them, there were some friends that he really wanted to make, but he just couldn’t.
Qi Fang was naturally the one with the highest status among them, and the one he had the least chance of meeting.
It was precisely because he had tried that he knew how difficult it was to get close to this person.
It wasn’t because he was arrogant, but because of his status, it was difficult to get close to him.
It was also because of this that he was extremely surprised when he saw Qi Fang taking the initiative to befriend the two from the Lu clan.
Through this, he had a deeper understanding of the Lu siblings ‘capabilities.
Even Qi Fang had taken the initiative to make friends with him. If he didn’t hurry over to get closer and ask for help because of the good relationship between the Lu and hai families, who were also from the Feiyun state, and were considered to be from the same hometown, it would be too stupid.
……
The flying shuttle stopped outside the immortal Palace for two days.
Although they could see the immortal Palace now, no one could go up to the palace itself. It seemed that the cloud layer that carried the Penglai divine Palace was not far away, but if they really flew there, they would never be able to reach it in their entire lives. The distance would always be so far that it would not even move.
Countless predecessors had tried to solve this problem, but even the Masters of the nascent soul and Dharma level could not solve it, let alone these people.
As for their goal, which was the reflection of the immortal Palace, it had not been formed yet.
Looking down at the sea surface from the shuttle, the reflection was still moving with the waves.
It was said that when the immortal Palace’s reflection was truly formed, the sea would calm down like a mirror, and the immortal Palace would be completely reflected on it.
And when that moment came, the celestial Palace’s reflection would be officially opened. At that time, those who wanted to enter would have to directly walk in through the reflection on the water. As long as their cultivation was lower than the initial enlightenment stage and the items on their bodies and storage bags did not exceed the foundation establishment level, they could successfully enter.
On the same day, another flying shuttle arrived.
The one hundred geniuses of the younger generation of the Qi state were probably sitting in the carriage.
The two sides had no desire to come into contact.
The relationship between the Yan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom was not good. They weren’t exactly enemies, but there was a lot of friction. On the southern border of Pingzhou, the Qi Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom had territorial disputes. However, they also had a common enemy, the Wei Kingdom, which was South of the Yan Kingdom. It was the long-time enemy of both the Qi and Yan kingdoms. However, big Wei was indeed stronger. In the nine great immortal nations, great Wei’s overall national power could be considered to be in the top three. Furthermore, they were a country with a particularly powerful centralized imperial power. They also had sects, but they did not exist in a large sect like Yunxiao sect. Some of them were small sects. The clan’s power was very obedient to the central court’s orders.
In the seven days since the cultivators of Qi state arrived, the sea became calmer and calmer, and his shadow reflected in the immortal Palace became clearer and clearer.
On the seventh day, the ocean had completely calmed down, and all the shadows had become real.
However, it was still the surface of the sea. Everything was flat.
Looking down from the shuttle, Wenen and Weiwen couldn’t imagine how they were going to get in.
However, Yunxiao sect’s initial enlightenment cultivator, who was the manager, would not care so much.
Under his loud urging, all the foundation building cultivators of the Yan Kingdom summoned their own flying magical artifacts and flew down.
The Qi state was the same.
There was no communication between the two sides. They lined up and jumped into the sea in an orderly manner.
A few initial enlightenment cultivators came from both Yan and Qi States. They were suspended in mid-air and watched as the foundation building cultivators jumped down and landed where the entrance of the immortal Palace was reflected on the sea.
Most people disappeared without even causing a splash after falling in.
However, there was an idiot who fell into the water. After a while, only his head was above the water.
That person seemed to be from Qi country.
The Qi state’s initial enlightenment cultivator’s face suddenly turned very black, while the Yan state’s several cultivators laughed.
“Why are there always such idiots? I told you not to bring anything above the foundation establishment stage, but there are still people who do. I can’t get in, dumbass!”
……
As for what was happening outside, those who had already entered the reflection of the immortal Palace had no way of knowing.
At this moment, Lu Weiwen only felt that everything in front of her was blinding.
It was a magical feeling.
She and her cousin, Lu Wenen, had clearly descended from the sky together. They rode on their flying swords and approached the surface of the water. Then, they free-fell and entered the entrance.
Then, he stepped on the solid ground, and the light in front of him was so bright that he couldn’t open his eyes.
After her eyes got used to the light, Lu Weiwen looked around and suddenly felt that she was already in a Palace.
In front of him was a courtyard, and under his feet was a floor made of white jade. Looking back, the end of the ground was not far away. Further away, there were many layers of palaces, halls, and pavilions among the different clouds.
At the end of the path, there were clouds.
Lu Weiwen tried to summon her flying sword. The flying sword could fly and use normally, but it couldn’t support her body.
“It seems that flying is prohibited here.”
Lu Weiwen understood. She didn’t have any thoughts of seeking death. She didn’t want to step on the clouds at the edge. If she couldn’t fly and fell down again, she wouldn’t end up well.
Without any hesitation, she turned around and strode towards the courtyard.
The courtyard was surrounded by a ten-foot-high wall, and the entrance was an arched door on the wall. Outside the round arch, there was a pair of exquisitely carved stone lions.
Lu Weiwen walked into the courtyard and saw that there were green trees and red flowers inside. The vegetation was lush, and the courtyard was hidden in the green. She could vaguely see the small building behind it.
At this moment, Weiwen’s heart tightened as she felt something coming from behind.
Without any hesitation, the flux star blade suddenly appeared in her hand. She twisted her waist, and a dark golden light covered her skin in an instant. She exerted strength in her arms and suddenly slashed.
The sound of a hard object colliding could be heard. She felt that something very heavy had been slashed back by her blade.
At this moment, she finally saw what was attacking her-wasn’t it the pair of stone lions outside the round arch?
This sudden revival and then a silent sneak attack from behind was really sinister.
Fortunately, ever since Lu Weiwen entered the reflection of the heavenly Palace, she had been on her guard and did not dare to relax at all. That was why the sneak attack did not succeed.
As one stone lion was sent flying, the other one pounced over.
Weiwen slashed again. This time, the stone lion stood firmly on the ground and was not so easily sent flying.
Moreover, this stone lion that had come to life was really powerful. In addition to its weight, even Weiwen, with the strong support of the indestructible body of Vajra, would feel a little strained.
“The first stage is already this difficult? Even if an ordinary ninth-tier foundation building cultivator realized it was a sneak attack, they probably wouldn’t be able to block the pounce of this thousand-ton stone lion, right?”
As he thought about it, he continued to fight with the stone lion. At the same time, a ball of fine sand flew out from her waist and rolled towards the stone lion she had previously slashed.
He didn’t seek to kill, only to control.
After fighting for a while, Lu Weiwen had a rough idea of the strength of these two stone lions.
The defense was very strong, and the strength was also very great. If she took it head-on, she would be fine with her indestructible body of Vajrapani, but other people might not be so lucky. Even if they had a defensive magic tool to block it, they would not have an advantage.
However, apart from that, there was nothing special about it. This type of stone lion didn’t have any long-range attacks, nor did it display any spell techniques. It was rather singular in type.
After the test, Weiwen mustered up her courage and fully activated the indestructible body of Vajra, increasing her strength by a lot. At the same time she slashed out, dazzling Starlight flickered on the flux star blade that was taller than her. The star power that was activated, in addition to her enormous strength, directly cut into the stone lion’s head by several inches.
The stone lion was still struggling, but under Weiwen’s immense strength, it was pressed down and could not move.
As he continued to increase his strength, the stone lion’s resistance became weaker and weaker, until it stopped moving.
It was also at this moment that she felt an invisible and colorless Qi from the stone lion’s body merge into her body, making her suddenly feel refreshed.
this should be the monster that was killed in the reflection of the immortal Palace that I read about in the book before. It will turn into a mass of essence that can be absorbed to quickly restore Qi, blood, and spirit, and transform the body and soul. After I leave the immortal Palace, I can slowly refine it and catalyze the improvement of my cultivation.”
just one, and it’s too little. I can’t feel that it’s a modified Suan ni.
As she thought of this, she raised her knife and pointed it at the other stone lion that was entangled by the myriad mystery Golden Spirit sand.

I only finished writing at 3:30 yesterday.
That’s the chapter for today.
If there were no accidents, the time would be 11 O ‘clock in the afternoon.
