CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 299: SUN AND MOON DUAL PALACE

Several days later, the West Emperor Island shook, and everyone in the island city gathered inside and outside the West Emperor Palace.

At this moment, the outer area of the West Emperor Palace was already surrounded by cultivators, with countless people looking toward the grand White Jade Palace ahead.

Today, the West Emperor Palace convenes the Demon Slaying Summit.

"I’ve spent my whole life on the West Emperor Island and have never seen such a grand event," an elder in the crowd raised his head to look at the sky, where cultivators were coming and going, treading into the West Emperor Palace.

All cultivators at the Condensed Core Realm or above could enter the West Emperor Palace to attend the Demon Slaying Summit.

"Yes, the havoc wreaked by demons has also created a grand feast," people around sighed.

The Demon Slaying Summit held today is primarily aimed at Condensed Core cultivators from all corners.

Cultivators at the Sixth Realm Dao Body and above are considered Great Cultivators, and if they come here, the West Emperor Palace would naturally welcome them warmly.

As for Condensed Core cultivators, they are the main force in the battle between humans and demons; those below the Condensed Core Realm cannot even sustain flying for long and can only stay on the island, unable to participate in the demon-slaying actions in the sea.

Therefore, the primary target of the Demon Slaying Summit is indeed the Condensed Core Realm.

Gather Condensed Core cultivators from various regions together to slay demons.

"Unfortunately, I’m not at the Condensed Core Realm, so this grand event has nothing to do with me," someone lamented.

"Blessings and disasters are intertwined; the stronger the cultivation, the heavier the responsibility. Not all Condensed Core cultivators wish to get involved, otherwise there would be no need for this Demon Slaying Summit. After all, in the battle against the demon world of the West Sea, even Condensed Core cultivators might just be cannon fodder; when war breaks out, their fate is uncertain."

"How can you speak such words, slaying demons is the duty of us cultivators," someone scolded.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Your character is noble, but I think cultivation is not easy." The person smiled, "Despite the strong gathering today, how many Condensed Core cultivators emerged from countless cultivators?"

The Condensed Core Realm is already a realm that countless cultivators cannot reach in their lifetime.

In the West Emperor Palace, in the gigantic martial arts arena, surrounded by the White Jade Palaces and White Jade staircases, cultivators were clustered, and almost all were Condensed Core cultivators at a glance.

Li Fan also stood in a spot, looking at the spectacular scene before him. He had never experienced such a gathering of Condensed Core cultivators before.

In these days of fermentation, not only from outside the West Emperor Palace, people from various islands and mainland of West Sea gathered here, leading to the current spectacle.

"It truly is spectacular..." Meng Hong sighed, "Usually outside, a Condensed Core cultivator among Loose Cultivators is already a strong presence, but here, it seems inconspicuous."

"How does it feel?" Luo Qingyan asked with a smile to Li Fan beside her.

Li Fan smiled and shook his head; what kind of feeling could there be?

Although the number of Condensed Core cultivators is large, how many cultivators are there at the Sixth Realm Dao Body?

Where are the Seven Realms Great Cultivators?

So far, not a single one has arrived.

The battle on the Peak of Li Mountain, before he entered the world, that battle was the true peak duel.

I wonder when will he surpass that battle?

Perhaps, one day, when he steps into the pinnacle of Sword Dao and rules over Li Mountain, there will be a great peak battle of Da Li.

The gaze turned, Li Fan looked toward the high pavilion of the main hall in the distance, where some seats were reserved for the ’big figures’ coming soon.

This Demon Slaying Summit will have the West Emperor Palace Master attending personally. Whether any other top cultivators will appear is unknown.

Seeing Li Fan calmly shaking his head, Luo Qingyan understood that this guy must be used to seeing grand scenes, so the Demon Slaying Summit wouldn’t move him.

Turning back to look at the martial arts arena, Luo Qingyan said, "This time’s Demon Slaying Summit aims to enhance the cohesion of cultivators from all fronts, and the West Emperor Palace is said to have prepared many treasures, including some heavy treasures. Besides, there are opportunities to cultivate in the West Emperor Palace and Sun and Moon Dual Palace."

"Are you interested?"

Luo Qingyan asked with keen interest.

"Depends on what treasure it is." Li Fan responded; if the treasures offered by the West Emperor Palace were attractive enough, perhaps he would strive for them.

"Got it." Luo Qingyan captured the focus in Li Fan’s words; she had no interest in cultivating at the West Emperor Palace or Sun and Moon Dual Palace.

In fact, this might still attract top Great Sword Cultivators, and the master of West Flame Island, but Li Fan had no inclination.

In his eyes, treasures are more precious.

Thus, the faction in which he cultivates...

At this moment, a commotion arose from the crowd, with many gazes directed toward a White Jade Palace.

In front of the martial arts arena, at the top of the main hall, a group of figures appeared, among them was Murong Gang, the Great Elder Li Fan had seen before from the West Emperor Palace.

Behind him were the law enforcement elder Nan Chen and other great elders from the West Emperor Palace.

At this time, several elders were conversing with people beside them, seemingly welcoming guests to sit down. Li Fan looked over and saw a familiar face, Wenren Qiu.

However, Wenren Qiu was following behind a middle-aged man in officer attire, who exuded an air of authority, somewhat similar to Wenren Qiu, and was presumably the Yazhou Prefect.

Because it borders the West Sea, this Yazhou Prefect is a Sixth Realm Dao Body Qi Cultivator.

And standing next to the Great Elder Murong Gang was also a middle-aged man, from his position, it was evident that in the view of the West Emperor Palace, his status was above the Lord Governor of Yazhou.

To the side of that middle-aged man was Yuwen Jing; behind him were several cultivators, each exuding sharpness and carrying swords on their backs.

"West Flame Island Sword Cultivator," Meng Hong whispered, "The Island Master of West Flame Island has always cultivated secludedly in the West Sea, and West Flame Island Sword Cultivators rarely enter the world. This time, it seems they are going to walk the world."

"The middle-aged beside the Great Elder, a Sixth Realm Great Sword Cultivator?" Luo Qingyan looked at Li Fan.

"Yes." Li Fan nodded.

"It seems he should be the chief disciple of West Flame Island, with the great elder of West Emperor Palace accompanying him, it somewhat disregards the court’s face." Luo Qingyan chuckled.

Could the Yazhou Prefect feel neglected?

The middle-aged Sword Cultivator seemed to say something in a low voice behind him, and the Sword Cultivators following him flew into the crowd with sword aura, not remaining above.

"They intend to participate in the Demon Slaying Summit," seeing this, Luo Qingyan laughed.

"If West Flame Island Sword Cultivators wish to enter the world for cultivation, naturally they would want to make a name for themselves. Previously, Yuwen Jing showed his prowess, now it’s the other Sword Cultivators’ turn," Meng Hong added.

Besides the Sword Cultivators from West Flame Island and the Yazhou Prefect from the court, there were many cultivators from major factions of the sea realms present, though Li Fan did not recognize them.

The West Sea is vast, and he knows little about it, his understanding still limited to the West Emperor Island.

At this moment, atop the West Emperor Palace, a ray of light shone brightly, drawing everyone’s gaze toward it, as beams of light shot toward them, and many dared not look directly at it, as they vaguely saw three figures coming together.

The leading person was none other than Liu Zonglin, the Palace Master of West Emperor Palace.

"Greetings to the Palace Master," the cultivators of West Emperor Palace bowed in unison.

"Greetings to Master Liu," in the martial arts arena, countless cultivators either bowed or clasped their hands in salute to show respect.

After all, this was a Seven Realms Great Cultivator, the guardian of the West Emperor Palace.

Meng Hong and Luo Qingyan and others involuntarily bowed, but they were suddenly stunned to find Li Fan still standing there calmly; not only Li Fan, but even the several women beside him remained the same, their eyes showing no waves.

"This..." Luo Qingyan was surprised; cultivators meeting the top cultivators will instinctively show respect, this is ingrained in cultivators. As Condensed Core Loose Cultivators, they would usually be in awe when seeing those at the peak of Condensed Core, but now they are much more composed, even when seeing Sixth Realm Dao Body cultivators, they can remain calm.

However, appearing before them was a top Seven Realms cultivator.

This guy, what is his background?

Moreover, it seemed like the women beside him also had seen grand scenes, with the same indifference; what kind of people are they?

Yue Qingqiu even looked at Luo Qingyan them with curiosity, what was she looking at?

She then looked at Li Fan, not quite understanding.

"Master Liu was seen last time, and the people beside him should be messengers from Sun and Moon Dual Palace." Luo Qingyan didn’t continue thinking.

Upon hearing Sun and Moon Dual Palace, Li Fan and Lu Yuan instead showed a bit of interest, and they looked toward the two people beside Liu Zonglin.

On Liu Zonglin’s left, that person wore a golden robe, emblazoned with a sun pattern, radiant like the sun.

The person on the right wore a black robe embroidered with a crescent moon, having some resemblance; Sun and Moon Dual Palace was originally the same faction Sun and Moon Palace, later divided into two palaces.

Li Fan glanced at Lu Yuan beside him, only to see her gaze fixed on the person from the Moon Palace.

"A person from her family?" Li Fan thought secretly, finally making contact with the Moon Palace.
