Chapter Eighty-Five: The Golden Summit of Emei

  The warm sunlight shines down from the cloudless sky, directly hitting a peak of Mount Emei. For a moment, the light is infinite, enveloping the entire mountain in a golden glow.

  This is the famous Emei Golden Summit, every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the Golden Summit will emit a dazzling golden light. It is said that there is an abundance of spiritual energy there. Cultivating there for one day can be equivalent to ten days elsewhere, except that, apart from some privileged individuals in Emei, no one can approach that place, regardless of how deep their cultivation or high their status. No one has ever entered that place before. However, Kong Zhao had more than once heard rumors from the mouths of those who had retreated from the world that among the upper echelons of the cultivation world, there was a rumor that the Emei Golden Summit simply did not exist. That place was empty, and as for everyone seeing the Golden Summit, it was just a small world projected onto this one.

  What is small world?

  Do you know about the immortal realm?

  The lifelong aspiration of a cultivator is to comprehend the Way of Heaven and Earth, thereby obtaining the qualification to enter the Realm of Immortals. This small world and the Realm of Immortals are essentially the same, both being worlds, only differing in size, space, and the abundance of spiritual energy. For example, Kong Xuan's python skin bag can also be considered a small world in a certain sense.

  As for the small world of Emei Jinding, people are more concerned that it is a spiritual world that is no less than the fairy world, and there are even rumors that it is a part of the fallen fairy world.

  Of course. It's just a rumor that has been circulating in secret among the highest levels of the cultivation world.

  From Longtai to Jinting. The distance is not far, but the scenery of Jinting is hazy and can only see a piece of golden light flashing. No matter how hard I try to use my eyesight, I still cannot see the real situation on top or if there's anything on top.

  The golden peak is a rare sight, and many practitioners who have seen it before are still marveling at the golden light that covers the entire Mount Emei, pointing and exclaiming in admiration.

  "This Golden Summit is the only place I haven't figured out yet!" Lingga Shangren was also paying attention to that Golden Summit. "If you give me a little more time, maybe I can make it clear!"

  "Big Brother, this is not the time to say such things!" Li Yuan's gaze narrowed, calling back Ling Jia's scattered thoughts. "Kong Zhan said. He will give everyone a surprise!"

  Ling Jia's face slightly changed. After regaining his composure, he said with some surprise, "Unexpectedly, what is this little guy thinking of doing? Hasn't this idea been rejected already? Why bring it up again. Does he really have the ability to do so? With Fang Yue and Zhu Zifan combined, they are enough to rival a Nascent Soul stage expert!"

  "He said he's definitely going to win!"

  "Where did he get such great confidence?"

  "I don't know, but when it comes down to it, we'll understand," said Li Yuanhua with a smile. "I think he won't be impulsive about this matter."

  "Emotions are devils, no one can be certain when they'll suddenly be possessed by the devil!" Ling Ga Shangren shook his head, "This matter, I must personally confirm it myself!"

  "I believe him!" Li Yuanhua said suddenly.

  "This doesn't seem like your usual style!" Ling Jia looked at Li Yuanhua with some surprise. "Aren't you always one to emphasize evidence? How come you suddenly have so much faith in Kong Zhuo without any reason?"

  "Everything has a reason!" Li Yuanhua said, "For example, why Kong Zhuan suddenly wants to challenge everyone at the same time, and why that madman-like One Heart wants to form an alliance with Qingling Gate. There must be reasons behind these actions, but what I'm most concerned about is why Kong Zhuan's strength has increased so rapidly!"

  Ling Ga's eyes widened slightly as he turned his head to look at Li Yuanhua's face. "Brother, you mean...!"

  "No one's power grows that fast!" Li Yuanhao said. "This is completely unreasonable!"

  Ling Ga Shang Ren was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Yuan Hua, "Don't bring up those three pearls, don't mention the pure five elements physique, and don't mention dual cultivation. We've seen people with a pure five elements physique before, we've also met people who possess powerful magical artifacts with a pure five elements physique, and we've even fought against two simultaneous pure five elements physique dual cultivators, but no one has ever been as exaggerated as him. No one in the history of the cultivation world has ever reached the Void Realm before the age of twenty. Not even the geniuses from the demonic sects who have cultivated the highest level of demonic arts can achieve this at this age. At most, they would be at the Hua Shen realm. It's impossible to enter the Void Realm, let alone cultivate the Xian Tian Purple Qi!" Li Yuan Hua paused for a moment, his green bean-like eyes staring intently at Ling Ga Shang Ren's face. "Brother, don't tell me you haven't doubted it?"

  "I did have my doubts, but I never doubted that he had practiced the demonic sect's techniques. As for the reason... Junior brother, who doesn't have some secrets of their own? You do. I do. Everyone does. As long as these secrets don't affect Luo Fu, why must we pry?"

  "So I agree with him taking action!" Li Yuanhua said. "I don't want to force him to reveal his secrets, but at least we need to understand his true abilities and what he relies on!"

  "I understand!" Ling Jia nodded. He looked deeply at Li Yuanhua for a moment. "Then, let's do it as he said. Have you thought of the reason?"

  "Persimmons are already a good reason!" said Lee Won-hwa.

  "Very well then!" said Lingga Shangren. Looking at his expression, it was clear that he had already discussed this privately with Kong Zhuan.

  Why didn't Kong Zong come directly to his teacher Shi Bo to discuss it?

  Are you afraid I won't agree? How ridiculous!

  The golden light on the summit gradually dispersed, and it became shrouded in mist again. It seemed ethereal and elusive.

  The eyes of the cultivators on the dragon platform finally moved away from the golden dome spectacle and their minds returned to the competition arena on the dragon platform.

  On the arena. Kong Zhuo and Xiao Lei Yin Si Di Huo and the monk were standing on opposite sides, facing each other. The person waiting for E Mei announced the start of the competition.

  Just as the host elder of Emei walked onto the stage and was about to announce the start of the competition, Kong Zhuo suddenly moved.

  He twisted his stout body and walked up to the elder with a smile. "Hey, this elder seems to be somewhat unfair!"

  "Unfair?!" The elder raised his head, looked at Kong Zhuo with a glance. He had no good feelings towards this fat man. Yesterday's commotion was a great loss of face for their Emei sect, and now seeing this young man again with an attitude that seemed to be looking for trouble. He couldn't help but feel indignant, "Unfair? What's unfair?"

  "It's really unfair!" Kong Zhuo said with a smile, stretching out his hand and pointing to his own belly, saying something.

  "Alas!" The person on the seat finally let out a long sigh. Helplessly, he said, "Originally, it was supposed to be a good match, inviting relatives in front of the Xuding Mountain array, but this kid turned it into Sun Wukong causing chaos in heaven, damn it's so wicked!"
