Mortal Mirror

There were just too many people; even after hundreds entered, the plaza remained incredibly crowded. Li Ergou and the others couldn't squeeze in at all and could only wait patiently.

Above the Void Heaven Tablet, light constantly flickered, and one name after another appeared on the stone tablet.

Boom! Just then, a loud thud echoed from the stone tablet. Everyone saw a name finally break through the ten-zhang mark and enter the twenty-zhang zone.

Soon after, there were two more thuds as someone's name directly soared to thirty zhang. One name after another continued to appear as everyone watched to see who could climb the highest.

On the other side, Li Muzhen finally arrived at the plaza of Baojing Province. When he saw the sea of people, he was utterly astonished because he had never seen so many people before.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "There are so many people!"

Yue Linglong, however, didn't think much of it. "So what if there are many? They are just ants. Li Muzhen, your swordsmanship is so profound, how could you be without a sect? Are you lying to me?"

Li Muzhen shook his head. "I have no reason to lie to you, okay? I really don't have a sect. Didn't I tell you on the road that we came from Tianjian Pass? If you really want to talk about a sect, then I belong to my master's lineage, considered a disciple of the Beggar Clan."

Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar chuckled and said, "So what about the Beggar Clan? Don't you dare look down on us. My Beggar Clan's disciples are spread throughout the world, and countless talented individuals have emerged."

Yue Linglong didn't know what to say and could only reply, "Alright, alright, your Beggar Clan is amazing, okay? However, if you want to join my sect, I can make a decision to accept you right now."

"You, you haven't said which sect you are a disciple of," Li Muzhen asked curiously.

Yue Linglong had just opened her mouth to speak when Nine-Fingered Divine Beggar interrupted, "Kid, your master is here. Which sect do you want to go to? Just stay in my Beggar Clan obediently. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to the Beggar Clan's main branch leader.

Don't think that our Beggar Clan is just a bunch of ordinary martial artists. To be honest, our Beggar Clan's main branch leader, Hong Yun, is no ordinary person either. He's also a very powerful cultivator, although he can't compare to those from the major sects, he's still a well-known figure in the martial world."

Yue Linglong's eyes showed disdain as she thought to herself that a small Beggar Clan dared to compare with the various immortal sects, truly overestimating themselves.

But before she could speak, Li Muzhen said, "Alright, let's not argue about these things. Look, the people in front are moving faster and faster. That stone tablet must be strange. Let's go ask what's going on."

Li Ergou watched the crowd in front surge forward. It was finally almost his turn, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

But just then, light flashed on the stone tablet, and the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

It turned out that at the seventy-zhang mark of the stone tablet, light was flashing, and a name had appeared. Li Ergou looked at the name and was quite surprised.

Why? Because the three words 'Huang Batian' were written on it.

A coincidence? he muttered to himself. At that moment, he felt somewhat worried. That person might really be that Huang Batian. He escaped last time, but he didn't expect him to be so audacious as to come here.

It was simply outrageous. Don't let him see him, or he would definitely make him suffer.

At that moment, the crowd surged forward frantically. Li Ergou and the others were immediately scattered by the crowd. Si Ning and the others were pushed to the front of the stone tablet. They couldn't care about much and jumped into the light gate, disappearing from sight.

Li Ergou once again looked around, but there was no trace of anyone. He smiled wryly and quickly squeezed forward, hoping to enter the light gate as soon as possible. He wanted to see what it was like inside.

Just as he was about to reach the bottom of the stone tablet, the sky once again echoed with a series of thudding sounds. This sound rang out eight times.

This meant that someone's name had broken through the eighty-zhang mark.

This was extraordinary. After all, above eighty zhang, it had rarely appeared in nearly ten thousand years.

Li Ergou looked up, and to his surprise, the first name was Murong Shijiu. His name was at the eighty-five-zhang mark. Seeing his name, Li Ergou couldn't help but feel happy for him and even more surprised. He actually possessed such high talent, making people envious.

Before he could think more, more names appeared above.

Xuan Longzi, eighty-three zhang.

Zuo Xinghan, eighty-six zhang.

Zhu Zhu, eighty-eight zhang.

Bai Su, eighty-nine zhang.

Baili Qianchuan, eighty-two zhang.

One name after another kept appearing, and Li Ergou was amazed. What surprised him the most was that in ten thousand years, there were only a dozen names above eighty zhang on this stone tablet. Now, it was as if there was an explosion, and so many had appeared in a short time.

Could it be that there were so many chosen ones in this generation?

What made him even happier was that Zhu Zhu and Bai Su were both on the list. He was really happy for them.

So many names kept appearing, not only surprising all the cultivators but also alarming Ren Wang and the other powerful figures. They also flew to the front of the Void Heaven Tablet, looking at the names that kept appearing before them, and were amazed.

After all, in previous Martial Dao Conferences, everyone would be excited if a name appeared above eighty zhang on the Void Heaven Tablet. Such people would become the targets of various sects vying to win them over.

So many names appearing so densely had already excited Ren Wang and the others.

Before the others could express their opinions, suddenly, the stone tablet shone with a green pillar of light that soared into the sky, followed by nine thudding sounds.

Immediately afterward, at the ninety-one-zhang mark, a name appeared… Jian Wuchen.

His name shone with a silver light, flying into the sky and circling the entire stone tablet before finally returning to its original place, which was truly an eye-opener.

At this time, countless people were in an uproar. Everyone looked at the name with amazement. Even Ren Wang and the others looked in disbelief.

After all, in ten thousand years, very few names had been able to climb above ninety zhang. Jian Wuchen's name would surely be recorded in history.

Ren Wang said in a trembling voice, "This, another powerful figure has emerged. Jian Wuchen, which sect's disciple is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pillar of light that had just extinguished on the stone tablet lit up again. At the ninety-three-zhang mark, two more names shimmering with silver light appeared… one was Lu Changsheng.

The other name alongside him was Murong Tianxia. This name surprised everyone. After all, the current emperor is Murong Zhantian. Who knows if this Murong Tianxia is a member of the royal family.

Lu Changsheng's senior sister, Xia He, was extremely excited, looking at Lu Changsheng's name with tearful joy. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the other side, before Ren Wang could marvel at who this Lu Changsheng was, the stone tablet was flashing again. At the ninety-five-zhang mark, another name appeared… Bai Muran.

At this moment, Ren Wang and the others were dumbfounded. Tiancan and Dimu were extremely excited. The two looked at each other, and Dimu said happily, "If the ancestor knew about this, he would definitely be very happy."

Tiancan then said, "This child is worthy of being the person chosen by the ancestor. The luck of our Tiandao Sect will surely endure."

Ren Wang said in an excited voice, "It's truly unexpected that so many chosen ones have appeared in this generation. It is truly the good fortune of my Great Xia."

The other three also sighed one after another, which was unbelievable.

Just then, the stone tablet spewed out another beam of light. This beam of light was thick and green. Green lotus flowers condensed in the sky and scattered down.

At the ninety-nine-zhang mark of the stone tablet, another name was clearly displayed.
