Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Turquoise Pool Grand Gathering

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

During this month, Ji Chen has remained in Shuofeng City, not venturing anywhere.

Although he has spent a month in secluded cultivation, due to having an Immortal Format within him, the speed of his cultivation improvement is not slow.

By now, Ji Chen has stepped into the Late Stage of the Reincarnation Realm Fourth Layer. At this rate, he can attempt to breakthrough to the Reincarnation Realm Fifth Layer in about half a month.

Calculating the time, the Turquoise Pool Grand Gathering is estimated to start in a few days.

Ji Chen no longer lingers.

At noon this day, he directly went to the city’s plaza and activated the Teleportation Array to head to the Turquoise Pool.

Above the Endless Mountains.

Two days later, Ji Chen arrived here.

Looking around, the mountains ahead stretch endlessly, ancient trees within the mountains are lush and dense, teeming with life.

A giant peak rises from the ground, suspended between heaven and earth, like the Celestial Palace Divine Hall, surrounded by colorful rays of light.

This is the location of the Turquoise Pool’s mountain gate, the entire peak floating in the void, resembling a human immortal hall, towering magnificently.

Looking around, one can see, in the distant void, occasional divine rainbows sweeping by, or cultivators striding on auspicious clouds, or powerhouses riding war chariots, all heading in the same direction, towards the Turquoise Pool.

The grand gathering is about to begin, and during this time, countless cultivators from the Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm have arrived here.

No matter if they are Noble Family powerhouses or Sect Elders, including Loose Cultivators, no one will be turned away at the door.

At the foot of a mountain, Ji Chen arrived here.

Ahead, a Hongqiao appeared, towering at ten thousand feet, reaching into the clouds, leading to the interior of the Turquoise Pool.

All those coming to attend the gathering descend here and must walk on the Hongqiao to enter the Turquoise Pool.

This is an ancient custom of the Turquoise Pool; regardless of who you are, you cannot directly fly into the Turquoise Pool but must enter by walking, or else the Turquoise Pool has reasons to turn you away.

"It’s really lively; the Turquoise Pool Grand Gathering held once every ten years truly lives up to its name."

"Many top figures have emerged during this time, those renowned in their regions have arrived one after the other, and numerous top-tier talents have also appeared."

On the Hongqiao, Ji Chen walked alone, heading inward, while hearing many cultivators discussing.

"It is said that the Divine Heir of the Purple Mansion has also come, heard he closed off for three years and has recently just emerged, not only cultivating the Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture to great success but also significantly enhancing his strength."

"And Bai Shenghao of the Bai Family from Yanxian City, and Wang Xiyuan, who has gained fame in recent years, have both arrived at the Turquoise Pool days ago."

Some familiar names echoed in Ji Chen’s ears.

"Luoyue Divine Lady has also come; I wonder if the Divine Heir has appeared as well?"

"Luoyue Divine Lady? She and the Jade Pool Divine Lady are called the peerless dual magnificence of the Immortal Realm; it is said that their talents and beauty are comparable to those of the Jade Pool Divine Lady."

"If I’m not mistaken, although these two are of equal fame, they have never appeared simultaneously at any place before. If they meet at this gathering, such a scene would be considered rare in the world."

On the Hongqiao, many young men walked together, discussing the talented and beautiful ladies of the current era.

"Speaking of which, it is heard that the Turquoise Pool recently accepted a new direct disciple, also of peerless talent and beauty; have any of you seen her?"

"Seems to be named Qu Luoning? I wonder if she can be seen at this gathering as well?"

This news has not completely spread, only circulating among some Ancient Families and top sects.

Soon, along the Hongqiao, Ji Chen finally arrived at the Turquoise Pool’s mountain gate entrance.

Looking around, he saw outside the grand gate there were two rows of young disciples welcoming guests, each exceptionally beautiful.

"They say the fairies of the Turquoise Pool are unmatched beauties in the world; today, seeing them, it’s indeed true."

"Unfortunately, throughout history, the Turquoise Pool never accepts male disciples; otherwise, I would really want to join."

"It is said that the Turquoise Pool does not oppose disciples under its gate marrying; I wonder if, upon my arrival, my family elders can arrange a marriage for me?" A fairly handsome young man spoke thus.

"Young Master of the Zhang Family has arrived!"

"Supreme Elder of the Li Family has arrived!"

"Immortal Master of the Zeng Family has arrived!"

As time passed, more people walked onto the Hongqiao, all with extraordinary backgrounds, even warriors of the Immortal Lord Level appeared, causing endless discussion among the crowd.

Some noble family heirs, sect direct disciples appeared one after the other, either wealthy or noble, all famed since early on.

Whenever such figures arrived, they would draw the focus of the entire crowd.

Ji Chen did not stay outside for long; soon, he directly entered the Turquoise Pool.

This is a vast plaza, filled everywhere with flowers and grasses; on some ancient trees, spiritual birds chirped, in the lake, golden scales leaped out of the water, showing signs of transforming into a dragon.

"This is the legendary Turquoise Pool, known as an immortal abode outside the world; it truly does not disappoint."

Like Ji Chen, many people arrived at the Turquoise Pool for the first time, feeling shocked and filled with praise at the sights here.

It is said that because of the gathering, the Turquoise Pool has opened many mysterious cultivation lands, places typically only accessible to elite disciples, now allowing everyone to enter.

By a large lake, Ji Chen arrived here.

Beside the lake, there stood an ancient and massive tree, exceedingly robust, showing an aged nature, existing here for untold years.

Enlightenment Tree.

This is one of the few outstanding cultivation spots in the Turquoise Pool. It is said that cultivating under the tree not only allows one to absorb Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth faster but also provides a clearer comprehension of Laws and even the True Meaning of the Great Dao.

Mountain, lake, tree.

From afar, such a scene seems to be outlined into an exquisitely beautiful ink painting, like a peaceful world, yet full of vibrant life.

Ji Chen also arrived beneath the Enlightenment Tree.

This place was already crowded with people; he managed to find a spot to barely fit in, then sat down cross-legged, wanting to try the so-called wonders of the Enlightenment Tree.

"Buzz!"

Soon, entering the cultivation state directly.

Ji Chen could observe, his initially somewhat restless heart gradually calming down over time.

In such a state, he seemed to become more perceptive and clear-sighted, releasing his Divine Thought, gaining a clearer understanding of the Laws and Power of the Dao flowing in the void.

This feeling was truly magical, as if Ji Chen became a spectator, carefully observing a world within a painting.
