Chapter 1756 Confrontation on Fengshan Platform

The surrounding area was an empty clifftop.

Here was one of the three most forbidden places of Kunlun, the Fengshan Platform!

Standing on it was like being in a place beyond the sky. As far as the eye could see was a deep, dark, and silent void filled with infinite sparkling stars.

The vastness of the universe was nothing that ordinary people could have the chance to witness or even imagine.

Even cultivators could only look up at the stars as very few of them could ever get a glimpse into the true face of the universe!

The galaxy was as if endless, visible but unattainable. One might be thousands of feet tall but would still only be equal to a speck of dust in this unfathomable space.

When being enlightened to the dao, cultivators were fond of reading astronomical phenomena.

And the so-called astronomical phenomena were nothing more than a corner of the boundless canopy that was the universe!

Only upon real contact and a close look into it would one know how immense the starry sky was – it was enough to shake any soul in the world.

At the moment, fewer than ten were scattered on the spacious clifftop of the Kunlun Mound.

Among them were Zhuanyu Heng, Hua Xingli, and the likes.

A cultivator, seemingly in a trance as their eyes were misty, whispered, “Rumor has it that by standing here and looking up at the universe, one can truly perceive the core essence of the Great Dao of all existing worlds.

“The opportunity for our Saint Path Ritual lies within it, and whoever is the first to figure it out will be able to ascend to that five-colored altar and obtain Inherent Sage Power, thus transforming from a Saint to a Sage in one fell swoop!”

In the universe, the stars twinkled brightly or dimly. Some stars looked like they were close at hand, while some were distant and unreachable.

Looking from afar, one only felt a boundless, quiet, and solemn atmosphere.

“There are no more than two ways to go about the Saint Path Ritual: either understand the wish of all beings under the heavens and realize them, thus claiming the power of all beings for oneself; or establish worlds with one’s own dao and open up a new path for future generations, thus sealing the ritual with one’s noble aspiration. However, neither of these methods are easy...” pondered someone with a frown.

“Those should be the Fengshan Dao Steles. They are like shining stars that guard the ninety thousand feet of the universe. Obtaining one will grant one the heavenly luck that is unique to the Kunlun Dominion, which can be incredibly helpful later when they realize Emperorhood,” said Zhuanyu Heng, a divine light meandering in his eyes as he gazed at the sky.

There were suspended stone tablets that blossomed with different lights and auras: some vast, some condensed, some as wanton as fire, some as deep as water, and some as sharp as a sword.

They were left by supreme geniuses who had once honed themselves through the Fengshan Trail, arrived at the mountain top, and successfully sealed their Saint Path Ritual.

These tablets were like the history records of those legends, representing supreme opportunities and honor!

Every cultivator that had ever arrived at the Fengshan Platform aspired to leave their name here!

“Unfortunately, it’s impossible to know where that rumored secret opportunity of becoming an Emperor, an Ancestor is hidden, and whether...it really exists?” lamented Hua Xingli.

Becoming an Emperor, an Ancestor!

Even if this kind of secret was beyond the reach of the likes of them, who wouldn’t be tempted now that they had heard of it?

Swish!

A delicate figure suddenly arrived and landed on the peak with a rain of light, from which Wen Qingxue’s stunning, ethereal beauty was gradually revealed.

Many people looked over with varied expressions.

They had all heard that Wen Qingxue had cooperated with Xu Lingkun to ambush and capture A’hu on the Fengshan Trail in order to use her against Lin Xun.

From the looks of things, however, it seemed that Wen Qingxue had failed.

She looked calm as ever, except that her beautiful brows were furrowed, obviously telling that she had encountered some difficulties.

Moreover, Xu Lingkun wasn’t with her!

“Fairy Qingxue, where is Fellow Daoist Xu?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

“Coming up later,” replied Wen Qingxue indifferently.

Among the people present, she and those on the league of Zhuanyu Heng and Hua Xingli were only acquainted to the degree that they had heard of each other’s names but not having any sort of relationship.

In fact, on this Fengshan Platform, they were rivals!

“It’s just a pity that Meng Yi...” sighed Wen Qingxue. If Meng Yi had still been alive, having the help of both him and Xu Lingkun would have given her the confidence to capture Lin Xun.

But now, the situation had completely changed!

She gazed at the starry sky above, took a deep breath to suppress the frustration in her heart, and began to calmly perceive with her spirit sense.

The priority at the moment was to study the profound mysteries hidden in the vastness of the universe, thus finding the opportunity to realize and seal her Saint Dao!

Upon seeing her do that, everyone else withdrew their gazes.

Although Wen Qingxue was a renowned fairy on the Ancient Nebula Road, who else here wasn’t also an absolute giant of this generation?

The forbidden ground where the Fengshan Platform was found had trapped an unknown number of experts and forced their cultivation to come to a halt.

And the Fengshan Trail had cut off the hope of even more cultivators.

In the end, fewer than ten of them had been able to make it to this Fengshan Platform!

These characters with terrifying heritages and superb backgrounds wouldn’t be friendly and eager to approach Wen Qingxue just because of her beauty.

After all, they were all rivals at this moment!

However, shortly after Wen Qingxue’s arrival, a voice filled with anger echoed from the Fengshan Trail below, “Damn bully!”

The voice rumbled like thunder through the chaos qi.

Wen Qingxue’s pupils shrank. There was a clang as she summoned an ancient sword that looked like it was made from polished white jade. The weapon glowed and surged with a sharp aura.

Taiwu Dao Sword!

This was an ancient treasure that was famous throughout the Ancient Nebula Road, one of the seven great dao swords in the heritage of the Panwu Dao Court.

Although it was not an Emperor Weapon, the Emperor’s breath imprinted within raised its power far above that of a life-bound Saint weapon.

Seeing Wen Qingxue act as if she was facing a great enemy and even call upon her treasure, Zhuanyu Heng, Hua Xingli, and the others watched with flickering gazes. They had a rough guess about the situation.

Wen Qingxue paid no attention to their reactions.

On the Fengshan Trail, there was a restrictive power that forbade the usage of all treasures and external forces, but on this Fengshan Platform, it was entirely different.

Since the mysterious power that served to hone cultivators on the Fengshan Trail didn’t reach the peak, there was naturally no more restriction.

This was also the reason why Wen Qingxue had reached the peak so decisively in the first place. With just her battle prowess, she wasn’t confident that she could suppress Lin Xun.

But adding some of the trump cards and killing moves, it would be a different story.

“Bastard!” Xu Lingkun’s voice rang out once again, this time with exasperation and indignation.

Almost at the same time, there was a deafening noise as a golden light suddenly shot up to the Fengshan Platform. In it was Xu Lingkun’s majestic and towering figure.

However, his hair was disheveled, and his face was livid and hideous. From his miserable state, it was quite obvious that he had been chased all the way up here.

Seeing this, many people’s eyelids twitched, and they secretly became serious. Xu Lingkun was an overlord character that was ranked thirteenth on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

Who would dare to imagine that he had been chased and hunted in such a sorry state?

“Where else can you escape to now?” resounded a cold voice.

Swish!

Almost in unison, all eyes shifted to the direction of the Fengshan Trail.

There was Lin Xun, dressed in moon-white robes, striding toward them. He was as tall and straight as a sword, and his black eyes swirled with an appallingly cold glint.

Many faces changed color. It’s really him, Lin Xun!

Even Zhuanyu Heng’s and Hua Xingli’s gazes froze.

Earlier, at the bottom of Mount Kunlun, Lin Xun had soloed a group of powerful experts and killed quite a few of them. Wen Qingxue and Meng Yi had been in that group.

And now, he had been hunting and attacking Xu Lingkun all the way up here, leaving the latter in a sorry state!

This proved that even an overlord figure like Xu Lingkun was no match for Lin Xun in a direct confrontation!

If this was the case, just what level was Lin Xun’s current battle power?

The thought of this made some people’s expressions become even more serious.

The first thing Lin Xun did after stepping onto the Fengshan Platform was to sweep a look at the ancient, five-colored altar, at the infinite universe above, and finally at all the scattered cultivators around.

Meanwhile, he also noticed the absence of that honing power, which took a weight off of him and enabled him to use his treasures again.

This could be verified by the mysterious jade-white sword in Wen Qingxue’s hand.

Eventually, Lin Xun locked his gaze on Xu Lingkun and said, “Didn’t you want to settle the score between us? This is just the right place.”

And then, he glanced at Wen Qingxue. “And you as well. It’s time to settle all of our scores once and for all.”

His voice was casual, but it carried an air of dominance!

Everyone wore different expressions, their eyes flickering. No one spoke up, not because they were shocked, but because they were unwilling to get involved in this conflict.

Although Lin Xun didn’t belong to any of the forces on the Ancient Nebula Road, there was no enmity between him and them either.

In this situation where everyone was vying for the same opportunity, they wouldn’t be so hot-headed as to join Xu Lingkun and Wen Qingxue in targeting Lin Xun.

Even Hua Xingli thought like this.

Xue Qingyi was only his subordinate, and not someone whose advice could influence his attitude and will yet!

“Settling scores? Very well!” Xu Lingkun’s face was livid. With a boom, he summoned a huge bone halberd entwined in blinding Law Power. The moment the weapon appeared, its aura rushed to the sky.

This was undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure.

Swish!

He swung the halberd furiously, setting off a sky-blotting storm.

Almost simultaneously, Wen Qingxue, who had been accumulating momentum, attacked without hesitation. Wielding the Taiwu Dao Sword, she turned into jade-white streak and shot out murderously.

Since they had some trump cards up their sleeves and were attacking together, they were no longer afraid of Lin Xun.

“Hmph.” Lin Xun’s expression was frosty. Holding the Abi Sword in one hand and the Yuantu Sword in the other, he leaped out.

Everyone else retreated and watched from afar.

Many bloody battles had erupted on top of this world-renowned Fengshan Platform during its history, so no one was surprised by this fight.

However, they were curious as to whether it would be the lone Lin Xun who would survive to the end or Wen Qingxue and Xu Lingkun who would take victory.

Boom!

The fight erupted without any suspense. The ancient and solemn silence on the Fengshan Platform was completely broken.

Crisscrossing sword qi and blinding explosions of lights introduced the confrontation of the ages!
