On this day, the entire region was in an uproar. People from the nine states all headed towards the destination.
Spirit Pool Island was actually ten thousand li away from the eight-directional cities. Vast crowds converged towards Spirit Pool Island.
Lin Xiao travelled together with An Miao and the people from Yan State.
An Miao’s beauty was too stunning. Along the way, it drew countless gazes and endless discussions.
However, in the end, Mu Haoran’s reputation deterred many improper thoughts.
As for Long Tutian, the Wang family great elder, and others, they remained in the shadows.
Of course, among the Yan State group travelling with Lin Xiao this time, many unfamiliar faces had appeared.
These strangers were undoubtedly powerful spiritual controllers. Along the journey, some even attempted enslavement techniques on Lin Xiao, filling him with anger.
But since he could not identify who it was, he had to endure it silently.
When they finally flew to the front of Spirit Pool Island, everyone from Yan State was shocked.
Ahead of them stretched an endless lake. Islands dotted the water sparsely.
If they did not know Spirit Pool Island was inland, they might have thought it was an ocean. The vast lake could well be called a sea.
At this moment, not only the Yan State group including Lin Xiao, but people from other states were also arriving.
Seeing this scene, people from the eight states were quite surprised. Spirit Pool Island was somewhat different from what they had imagined.
Only some from Holy State and a few elders from the eight states who had visited before did not appear so astonished.
Spirit Pool Island. Where was the “pool”? It was more like a sea!
On the lake surface and the islands, mist swirled densely. Spiritual energy permeated the air. The blue lake stretched endlessly, like a fairy realm on earth. One glance brought a refreshing feeling. The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth filled everyone’s bodies.
Spirit Pool Island truly left people in awe!
“This lake spans ten thousand li in radius. There are over a thousand islands, large and small. Some are residences for Spirit Pool Island elders and disciples. Some grow various herbs. Trespassing would invite attack.” An Miao explained to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao nodded. Even without her saying it, everyone probably understood.
Spirit Pool Island was the holy land for spiritual controllers, a gathering place for high-grade ones. It could be called one of the most dangerous places. No one dared trespass.
Not even Martial Saints.
At this time, the area was packed with dense crowds. The total number probably reached hundreds of thousands.
“So many people. Are they all going in to watch?” Lin Xiao scanned the packed masses and could not help sighing.
An Miao shook her head. “Only one hundred thousand can enter Spirit Pool Island. Some time ago, entry quotas were auctioned. Apart from elites from the eight states, others need an entry token to go in.”
“Entry token?” Lin Xiao was slightly surprised.
It seemed entering Spirit Pool Island to watch was not that easy.
Buying an entry token probably cost a considerable amount of wealth, right?
After all, there were only one hundred thousand. With so many forces and people in Holy State, prices would surely be driven sky-high.
One hundred thousand was not few. The remaining hundreds of thousands would probably have to wait outside for news.
“Mu Haoran!” At this moment, from other directions, many gazes turned towards the Yan State group.
Seeing Mu Haoran’s figure, some still carried anger. A few days ago, Mu Haoran had stood them up…
Then, upon seeing An Miao beside Lin Xiao, everyone’s eyes lit up again.
That woman was simply too beautiful, as if her body glowed, outshining sun and moon. Even the beauties of Spirit Pool Island could not compare.
“Who is the woman beside Mu Haoran? She is beautiful beyond human!”
“I have never heard of her. No wonder Mu Haoran showed no mercy to He Xuejun of Spirit Pool Island, sending her flying in one move!”
“Such good fortune, accompanied by such a beauty!”
“If I could have a woman like that, living decades less would be worth it!”
“All the good women are taken by that guy!”
“Do you have Mu Haoran’s talent and strength? Do you have his background? Do you think that beauty should belong to you instead?”
“I am just saying. Besides, those with background are not just Mu Haoran. I heard he is only a loose cultivator. Geniuses from the eight great families and three holy lands have much deeper backgrounds!”
“That is a matter for the eight great families and three holy lands. It is still not your turn. But sometimes, one really hopes beauty falls to the unworthy, like me…”
“Get lost!”
…
Discussions rose and fell. Beauties and geniuses always drew the most attention.
Many women from Spirit Pool Island felt jealousy upon seeing An Miao, turning to mock Mu Haoran.
As for young geniuses from Tianji Holy Land and other families, many felt admiration. Some even thought of investigating and pursuing that woman later.
“Whoosh!” At this moment, a white-robed elder with handsome refined features, spirited despite white hair, like an immortal in exile, flew out from the lake.
Behind him followed a large group of white-clothed youths, middle-aged people, and elders.
The youths drew the most attention. Each extraordinarily handsome, elegant and graceful, carrying a free and easy aura that made countless young women fall in love at first sight.
Even female disciples of Spirit Pool Island had sparkling eyes.
When the group from Spirit Pool Island flew to the lake periphery and stopped in the void, the leading elder scanned the surroundings.
At this time, the Wang family great elder Wang Xizhi, hidden behind the Yan State crowd, suddenly appeared as if teleporting in front of everyone. He cupped his hands towards the elder ahead, “Elder Ximen, long time no see!”
“Elder Ximen, hope you have been well!” At this moment, the Ji family great elder also appeared before the Yang State group.
“It has been decades. Unexpectedly, Elder Ximen has broken through to eighth-grade initial spiritual controller realm. Another eighth-grade spiritual controller in the spiritual controller world. Truly congratulations!” Before the Zhu State group, a white-bearded long-browed elder appeared. He saluted the Spirit Pool Island elder.
“Tantai family’s eighth-grade initial spiritual controller?” Lin Xiao’s gaze first turned to the elder from Zhu State direction. His eyes narrowed slightly.
Eighth-grade initial spiritual controllers were extremely terrifying existences. The last time someone attempted enslavement on him, if it was an eighth-grade initial, the likelihood of it being from the Tantai family was high.
Therefore, Lin Xiao felt wariness and coldness towards that Tantai family eighth-grade initial spiritual controller.
“Eighth-grade initial spiritual controller!” The crowd was shocked by the white-haired elder from Spirit Pool Island. Eighth-grade spiritual controllers stood absolutely at the continent’s pinnacle. Even great elders from major families could hardly match them.
After the Tantai family elder appeared, elders emerged from Hao State, You State, Xuan State, Min State, Cang State directions. Those greeting were Martial Saint elders from major overlord forces.
Long Tutian and Holy Heaven Gate’s Martial Saint elder Zhan Meng also appeared. But with their status, they could only remain silent on the side.
