Chapter 1351 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (87)
The white light of the interstate teleportation array suddenly dissipated, and a rich spiritual energy rushed in, mixed with the clamor of people, instantly enveloping Li Guang's family.
She took a deep breath. The Central Domain has three states: Yunzhou in the west, Lanzhou in the east, and Cangzhou in the center. Cangzhou is the central area of the Central Domain and even the entire continent, with the most spiritual veins and the richest spiritual energy.
Beneath your feet are smooth, mirror-like blue jade slabs, and looking up, the majestic outline of Tianjian City, the largest city in Cangzhou, comes into view.
With the once-in-a-century Gathering of Prodigies taking place, this city, which is presided over by the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the top sects on the continent, has long been packed with cultivators from all over the world.
On both sides of the street, pavilions with upturned eaves stood side by side, wine flags and merchant banners fluttered in the wind, cultivators flew by on their swords in an endless stream, and street vendors hawked elixirs, magic weapons, spiritual plants, and even young demon beasts. The air was filled with a lively and restless atmosphere, more than three times as lively as Qingwu City, where the Thundercloud Sect was located.
Those coming and going were all spirited young cultivators, their robes fluttering as they revealed their remarkable cultivation. Occasionally, a few elders and venerables with unfathomable auras would flash by, adding to the solemnity and majesty of this top-level event in the city.
"This is Heavenly Sword City." Lu Jinghong put away the flying boat, put his arm around Li Guang's waist, looked down at Li Yan and Li Yao beside him who were full of curiosity, and said in a gentle tone, "Let's go see your great-grandfather first, and after we're settled, I'll take you to see all of Heavenly Sword City."
Li Guang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators coming and going on the street, inwardly marveling at the influence of the Heavenly Pride Conference.
This conference is by no means a simple exchange among the younger generation, but a key event for reshuffling the power structure of the entire cultivation world. No wonder even Daoist Lingxiao would travel thousands of miles to Cangzhou. However, it is also possible that Daoist Lingxiao has other matters to attend to and is only here to protect his sect's disciples.
Following Lu Jinghong's directions, the family passed through the bustling crowd and headed west towards Tianjian City.
Lord Lingxiao had already sent a young boy to greet them outside.
Lu Jinghong led his wife and children inside.
"The Amazing Youngster is here!"
Lingxiao Daojun's gaze fell on Lu Jinghong, full of affection, and then he looked at Liguang and the two children, his eyes becoming even gentler.
"Time flies. The last time I saw Jinghong, she was a carefree young man. Now, she has a family to support."
"Grandson Jinghong, accompanied by his Daoist companion and children, pays respects to his maternal grandfather." Lu Jinghong and Li Guang stepped forward to greet him, while Li Yan and Li Yao also bowed obediently. Their clear voices made Daoist Lingxiao smile from ear to ear.
After exchanging pleasantries, Daojun generously bestowed his favor, flicking his finger to send four warm rays of spiritual light into the bodies of Li Guang, Li Yan, and Li Yao.
That was spiritual power containing the Dao Lord's original insights, gentle yet boundless. It could not only cleanse the meridians and stabilize cultivation, but also plant a protective mark in their sea of consciousness, ensuring their safety in times of crisis.
If they encounter danger, ordinary cultivators who discover the protective mark will abandon the idea of killing and robbing the treasure if they do not want to incur the wrath of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord.
Li Guang's heart stirred slightly, and she bowed in gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, maternal grandfather."
Lingxiao Daojun waved his hand, his gaze falling on Liguang with a hint of approval: "I heard from Xiaoqing that you are a good child. It is Jinghong's good fortune to meet you."
"Jinghong, remember to stay humble and avoid arrogance. Think carefully during the Heavenly Pride Tournament and beware of being plotted against."
"Thank you for your teachings, Grandfather. I will keep them in mind."
"Okay, let's go."
Lu Jinghong then led his family to the Thundercloud Sect's outpost in Heavenly Sword City.
The sect's manager, who had been waiting there to prepare for the conference, was delighted to see Lu Jinghong arrive and quickly presented him with the latest information on the Heavenly Pride Conference and the list of winners.
"Junior Uncle Jinghong, you've finally arrived! This year's Heavenly Pride Tournament has brought out the elites of all sects, making the competition far more intense than in previous years."
As the steward spoke, he handed over a jade slip that shimmered with light. "This is the hot list of this year's prodigies. Only those who meet the qualifications can participate. Besides you, there are definitely many other prodigies who have not yet registered and are in the observation stage, so the list is incomplete."
After Lu Jinghong finished reading it, he handed it to Li Guang.
Li Guang took the jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and instantly took in all its contents.
