Eastern Fence Saint Second Heaven.
Outside the Redbud Gate, experts gathered.
Almost all the top experts and new talents from the various continents were here, rubbing their palms in anticipation of the Three Clear Mystic Assembly that was held once every ten years.
Everyone who could stand here had their own reasons to be proud.
The line was also very orderly.
The four people at the front were the Four Wisdom Kings whose names shook the Eastern Fence Sea Region. All four of them were red-cloaked archbishops.
The Immovable Wisdom King, Jiang Gui, had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His Dao was natural, and he seemed to be one with the aura of heaven and earth.
The Freedom King, Fan Jin, had a casual attitude, as if no one could enter his world.
The Peacock Wisdom King, Beast Sovereign, was a beautiful woman. Her fiery red hair fluttered in the air, and her facial features were similar to western women. Her nose was high, and her eyes were blue like jewels. A powerful demonic aura emanated from her, making people not dare to look at her directly.
The Guardian Deity, Meng Wuliang, was tall and sturdy. He was close to three meters tall and looked like a raging bear. His arms were thicker than an ordinary person's waist and abdomen, and his body seemed to contain a terrifying amount of power. Wherever he walked, a dent would appear under his feet.
The four of them were half-step Reincarnation Realm experts. In the Eastern Fence Sea Region, apart from the Sacred Master, they were the strongest.
In fact, for the past six hundred years, the Sacred Master had been in seclusion all year round, ignoring everything outside. These four people could be seen as the true rulers of the Kinetic Ocean Region.
With their current status, there was actually no need for them to participate in the Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly. In fact, they were only there to go through the motions. They wouldn't personally participate in the competition of the Mystic Assembly. Otherwise, no one else would have a chance.
The main reason they were here was because of their respect for the old man from the Tenth Heaven.
Behind the Four Wisdom Kings were more than a hundred white-cloaked archbishops from various continents.
Su Chen was among them, but he seemed out of place. This was because the average age of the archbishops around him was above fifty years old. It was rare to see someone as young as him. Moreover, these archbishops were all in the Reincarnation Realm. He was the only one who was still in the Spirit Focus Realm.
Because of this, Su Chen received a lot of attention when he stood in this position.
"This guy is actually a bishop, I … No, I can't be angry, I have to be calm …"
Meng Qianhun also saw Su Chen in the group of priests at the back and almost couldn't help but curse.
However, the effects of the Desire Extinguishing Pill had yet to wear off, so Meng Qianhun didn't dare to get angry. Otherwise, the pain would be worse than death.
At this moment, a red-robed cardinal flew down from the tenth layer of heaven and landed in front of the Redbud Gate.
When the Four Wisdom Kings saw the Cardinal, they immediately lowered their heads respectfully.
"Greetings, Archbishop Sanctuary."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"That's the Sanctuary's Archbishop Xue Zhen!"
"Gosh, this is a legendary figure. He became famous even earlier than the Four Wisdom Kings. Rumor has it that his strength has already reached the Peak of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Moreover, he is the personal disciple of the Saint Lord. Among the billions of cultivators in the entire Eastern Sea Region, only he is qualified to be chosen by the Saint Lord."
"Back then, Xue Zhen was just an unknown little God Official. He was chosen by the Saint Lord because he participated in the Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly and became a tenth-layer genius."
"All these years, the Saint Lord has been in seclusion all year round. No one can meet him. Only Archbishop Xue Zhen is qualified to meet the Saint Lord."
"Archbishop Xue Zhen didn't appear in the previous Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly. I didn't expect him to appear today. It seems that this year's Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly has attracted the attention of Archbishop Xue Zhen."
Su Chen also noticed this red-robed cardinal. He was indeed very strong, but he wasn't as ostentatious as the Four Wisdom Kings. Instead, he was more restrained and low-key, so no one could see his depth.
However, what was even stranger was that when Su Chen's gaze fell on Archbishop Xue Zhen, the Immortal and Indestructible Diagram in his mind actually activated on its own.
At this moment, Xue Zhen seemed to have sensed something and looked in Su Chen's direction.
Su Chen's heart clenched, but he didn't cower. He met Xue Zhen's gaze.
In just an instant, Xue Zhen looked away. He swept his gaze across the entire place and said, "The Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly has officially begun. Everyone here is a talent of the Dongli sea region. Please work harder and strive to reach the Tenth Layer of Heaven."
"The process of this Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly will remain the same. Every layer of heaven will have a trial of different levels to test everyone's strength, Daoist Heart, and comprehension. Every layer of heaven will contain treasures, pills, arcane treasures, and cultivation methods provided by the Dongli Shangqing sect. Those who are fated can obtain them."
Xue Zhen didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and the Redbud Gate rumbled open. A strange light shone out.
The Four Wisdom Kings and a few older cultivators all made way. They didn't enter the Redbud Gate.
At least half of the white-robed archbishops stayed behind. Only the other half, newly promoted archbishops, could enter the Redbud Gate.
Even so, the group was still majestic. There were at least seven to eight hundred people.
Su Chen wasn't in a hurry to set off. Instead, he waited for Liu Yue and Yue Ya 'er to meet up with them before entering the Redbud Gate.
The other Heavenly Officials from the Northern Xuan Continent also gathered together and entered the Redbud Gate.
As soon as he stepped through the Redbud Gate, Su Chen realized that the scenery in front of him was rapidly changing. A vast and boundless primitive forest appeared.
"Strange. The Second Layer of Heaven shouldn't be that big. Why is there such a huge forest?"
Yue Ya 'er asked curiously.
Su Chen frowned and looked around for a moment. He said, "This isn't the Second Layer of Heaven. It's an independent small world created with the power of divine patterns. Such a huge space is definitely something that only a top Divine Pattern Master can do!"
Su Chen was amazed. Such a miraculous method of using divine patterns was something that a high-tier Divine Pattern Master like him couldn't even imagine. Even figuring out the principles behind it was extremely difficult.
Even a master-level or grandmaster-level Divine Pattern Master wouldn't be able to do it. Only a Divine Pattern Master who surpassed the grandmaster-level could do it.
Because of the extension of space, the people who entered the Redbud Gate were immediately scattered. The closest ones were a few hundred meters away.
However, no one hesitated. They all ran towards the primitive forest.
Liu Yue seemed to have discovered something. She said, "You can't fly here. There's a restriction, a very strong restriction."
"Then let's run!"
Yue Ya 'er ran forward as if she was running.
She came here purely to have fun. She didn't even think about ascending the Tenth Layer of Heaven.
Liu Yue said, "Be careful, little girl. There are many deaths and injuries in the Three Pure Ones Mystic Assembly every time. If you don't want to die here, you'd better follow me and the great Archbishop."
When Yue Ya 'er heard that someone would die, she immediately stopped and obediently returned to the two of them.
