Xiao Kai listened in amazement and stammered, "Who told you all this?"
"Hmph, I heard it from my martial uncle, who heard it from my master, and my master participated in the battle with the celestial demon. Do you think I'm that easy to deceive?"
"Cut it, you're just hearing it from your martial uncle. But I was present when Master spoke in the study room, it was more authentic than what you heard."
"You..." Xiao Kai swallowed hard and said, "Are you sure your master said that?"
"No doubt!" the speaker's face was full of righteousness, pointing at Xiao Kai sternly, "Demon, stop trying to deceive us!"
At this point, a "clank" sound came from mid-air, and a flying sword fell down out of position, accompanied by a petite body, with long flowing hair flying in the air. The exposed snow-white skin shone brightly in the air.
What fell down was Xiaolin, the little girl was out of breath as she desperately chased after Huang Bei. But her ability was limited, and she couldn't go on after reaching under Tian Du Peak, yet she forcefully broke through the restriction of the Hidden Peak and dashed in. When she flew over to Xiao Kai, her energy finally gave out, and unable to support herself, she fell directly into Xiao Kai's arms, and landed face down in his arms. Xiao Kai's hands were tightly pressed by the girl's swollen chest. In front of him was the girl's snow-white, slender swan-like neck, and a fragrance that wasn't from any cosmetics in the city, but a natural fragrance of a virgin. Unfortunately, Xiao Kai couldn't enjoy it; he was knocked down to the ground, and the moment his butt touched the rock, a piercing pain erupted.
"Quick, save Master Uncle!" the guy who shouted just now hollered, "A demon is being unruly at the Tian Du Hidden Peak!" As he spoke, there was a loud clatter, and many bright long swords were drawn out.
"Stop!" Xiaolin angrily jumped up, scolding loudly, "This is the current leader of the Tian Xuan Sect. What are you planning to do?"
"Uh..." Everyone was stunned, "Is he really the Tian Xuan Sect leader?"
"Of course," although Xiaolin was young, her seniority was high, she ordered loudly, "Go and fetch Master over."
Xiao Kai lay on the ground in pain, unwilling to get up. His hand had already reached a large hole in his pants on his butt, caused by the rock. For sure, the pants were not wearable, and a wardrobe malfunction was unavoidable. Before he could decide what to do, he saw a fair and tender hand reach out to him: "Get up."
The little girl's face was a bit red, after all, it was in that age of budding romance. First, she was taken advantage of by Xiao Kai's excuse of not being able to fly, and now, she had fallen onto Xiao Kai for real. This was no small loss. So when her hand stretched out, she hesitated for a moment. But considering how Xiao Kai was knocked down by her, she didn't hesitate anymore.
Xiao Kai grinned, grabbed the jade hand in front of him, and before he could decide whether to get up, he heard a commotion in the distance. Then a voice shouted loudly, "The six sect leaders have arrived!"
The crowd immediately quieted down, as the six sect leaders smilingly walked over. Xiao Kai was surprised and stood up suddenly. He took two steps forward before hearing the stifled laughter behind him. The hole in his pants revealed a large area of white skin, which felt cold when the wind blew. Even though the world of cultivation was no longer as glorious as it was ten thousand years ago, the rules of the major sects were still strictly followed. As the host, Song Feng walked at the front, followed by the leaders of the other four major sects. At the end was a woman who looked only around thirty, dressed in a loose black robe. However, her figure was graceful and elegant, and her face was extremely dignified and beautiful, exuding a tempting charm. This was the current leader of the Liu Yun Water Pavilion, the last of the six major sects, named Lan Tianyu. Among the top six sects, the other four were now the major sects in the world of cultivation. Huang Shan, although slightly inferior, had an advantage due to the Gathering Spirit Conference held once every hundred years, which attracted disciples from various backgrounds, thus making Huang Shan more attractive and influential than the other sects. The last Liu Yun Water Pavilion was greatly inferior in terms of cultivation techniques and strength.
However, since the six major sects could be evenly matched, the Liu Yun Water Pavilion naturally had its own strengths. The female disciples of the Water Pavilion had always been admired by the disciples of the other major sects, and the Water Pavilion's techniques, although limited in combat power, had special effects in terms of beauty and preservation, so all the practitioners were extremely envious of it.
Elder Song Feng was very enthusiastic towards Xiao Kai and came forward first, deeply bowing: "The leader of the Tian Xuan Sect has arrived, sorry for the late welcome!" Xiao Kai awkwardly returned the bow and whispered, "Can I change my clothes?"
"Oh, sure, this way, Leader," Song Feng brought Xiaolin over, "you take him to change his clothes."
"Why do I have to..." Xiaolin protested angrily, only to suddenly see several sect leaders looking back at her, so she quickly complied, "Yes, Master."
Song Feng smiled slightly and was very satisfied. Although this disciple's cultivation was still shallow, she was extremely clever and had very high potential. He had great expectations for her, and he also hoped that the little girl would gain some opportunity at today's Gathering Spirit Conference.
"Hey, many people at the peak call you Master Uncle," Xiao Kai followed Xiaolin around a few corners and walked into the hall. Seeing that there was no one around, he couldn't help but talk, "Is your status very high?"
"Not really," the little girl was modest in her words, but her face was full of pride, "It's just a little higher than them. Hehe."
"Oh, I just saw about a few dozen people who want to call you Master Uncle?" Xiao Kai looked surprised, "So you have a high status in Huang Shan?"
"How is that possible," Xiaolin gave him a look, "As cultivators, we can live for a few hundred years without any problem. Over the years, what do you think about how many generations there are? Of those people on the peak, only fourteen call me Master Uncle, and many others want to call me Master Grandfather."
Xiao Kai was surprised, "Those people just now are not all from the Huang Shan faction, are they?"
"Of course," Xiaolin smiled, "The Gathering Spirit Conference is not something anyone can attend. We have an advantage in Huang Shan, so our disciples can come and try their luck. The other major sects can only invite a few people to attend."
"What luck?" Xiao Kai asked, "What is the Gathering Spirit Conference for?"
Xiaolin widened her eyes and looked at him, "You don't know anything, do you? You are the leader of the Tian Xuan Sect, and were personally invited by my Master to attend the conference."
Xiao Kai blushed and chuckled, "Didn't I tell you earlier, I've spent all my time practicing internal martial arts."
"But I see that you don't have much energy," Xiaolin bluntly exposed, "I've found out that you are just an ordinary person."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Kai's face turned red, and he exclaimed, "That’s because I have reached the stage of returning to the original. You can't see my true strength."
Xiaolin saw him getting angry, but considering that he was invited here by her Master, she didn't dare to argue with him. She waved her hand, "Okay, okay, since you don't know about the Gathering Spirit Conference, I will tell you about it."
It is said that ten thousand years ago, there was a world-shaking battle near the Tian Du Peak of Huang Shan. The identities of the two sides in the battle cannot be ascertained, but the result of the battle was that both sides were severely wounded. Several peerless masters and a peerless demon were sealed, or even soul-destroyed on the spot. In short, both sides were seriously injured, and no one survived.
After that, the Tian Du Peak suddenly had a strange restriction, except for a small area, the other areas were covered by a strange force field. Although there were numerous experts in the following hundreds of years, no one was able to break the restriction and enter.
Several hundred years later, one day, a large amount of white cloud and mist suddenly appeared in the Tian Du Peak. The people of Huang Shan, upon discovering this anomaly, immediately informed senior practitioners in the sect. When they came to investigate, they were stunned. It turned out that within these countless white clouds and mists, there was a large amount of celestial spiritual energy, much denser than the natural energy that practitioners absorbed every morning, by no less than a hundred times!
What was even more shocking was that within the white clouds and mists, they saw various colorful lights flashing, and all kinds of rare celestial treasures were quickly shuttling back and forth in the clouds, all of which were unattainable treasures of the celestial realm. The high quality of these treasures shocked the disciples on Huang Shan.
Of course, the first reaction of the people of Huang Shan was to pick up the treasures in any way they could, but although these treasures were of very high quality, they were also very difficult to subdue. Therefore, when the white clouds and mists disappeared a day later, they had caught only a few of these celestial treasures.
After such a phenomenon, although the Huang Shan disciples remained vigilant every day, it did not appear again for a full hundred years, and the next leader of Huang Shan almost forgot about this event, until it reappeared.
