"It's actually Elder Huomu who's in charge of the assessment. You have to know that Elder Huomu has a pretty high status in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. The fact that they've put the assessment in charge shows how much the Wind and Thunder Pavilion values ​​this Four Directions Pavilion Conference."

"I think we should pay more attention to the assessment content. Elder Huo is strict, and it won't be easy to get by under him."

At the foot of Leishan Mountain, Elder Huomu watched as everyone arrived. Among them, Elder Huo, dressed in a red robe, slowly began to explain the rules of the trial to everyone.

"Gentlemen, as is customary, there are a few conditions that need to be met if you wish to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Conference."

"First, your strength must be at least a three-star Dou Huang; second, you must be under thirty years old; third, you must withstand five moves from me!"

As Elder Huo finished speaking, he exuded an extremely powerful aura, causing a series of exclamations. Looking at the somewhat noisy crowd, Elder Huo snorted coldly and then continued, "You should all have seen the two roads behind me."

Elder Huo pointed to the two roads behind him, one on the left and one on the right, cupped his hands to the crowd, and continued, "I know that some friends are just here to join in the fun and do not intend to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Conference. In that case, you can go directly up the left road, which will take you straight to the top of the mountain."

"If you want to attend the conference, you need to go through the mountain path on my right to be eligible to participate."

After listening to Elder Huo's introduction, most of the people in the crowd headed towards the left-hand path. They were basically there to join in the fun and watch the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly.

Of course, among the crowd were many young disciples who wanted to participate in the conference. After Elder Huo finished speaking, they rushed to the right path. However, Elder Huo only smiled and waved his right hand lightly. The other party was directly sent flying by Elder Huo's palm wind and fell into the crowd.

Seeing this, Elder Huo's face darkened, and he said, "If you want to participate in the conference, you must first meet the conditions I just mentioned. If anyone tries to take advantage of the situation, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Seeing Elder Huo's cold expression, everyone took a deep breath. Then, some people who wanted to get away with it showed bitter expressions on their faces and ultimately dared not step forward.

"let's go."

Xiao Fan glanced at Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, and asked, "Or do you want to participate in this conference?"

"of course not!"

Xiao Yan spoke decisively, his expression turning serious. "We're here only for Venerable Xunfeng; I don't want to cause any more trouble..."

Zi Yan, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly, her face full of agreement.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan didn't dwell on it too much and led the two of them towards the left-hand path.

The road on the left is a towering staircase that reaches into the clouds.

The steps stretched all the way to the top of the mountain, and at their very tip, they soared into the clouds, making it impossible for Xiao Fan and the others to see their appearance clearly.

On both sides of the steps, no weeds grow, only a kind of silvery-white tree grows on both sides of the road.

"These trees are amazing; they're filled entirely with the power of lightning..."

Xiao Yan slowly withdrew his soul power from the tree and spoke to Xiao Fan and Zi Yan with some surprise.

After observing more closely, Xiao Yan continued, "That's not all!"

Just now, in Xiao Yan's perception, a wisp of lightning power slowly rose from the silver trees on both sides of the road and then merged into the dark clouds above Thunder Mountain.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan showed a hint of surprise, which quickly turned into understanding.

"I see!"

With a look of understanding on his face, Xiao Yan said to Xiao Fan and Zi Yan, "No wonder I've always heard people say that the main building of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Thunder Mountain, is always shrouded in dark clouds, and thunder roars in it every day."

"It turns out that it's thanks to the existence of this ancient silver tree that the thunderous power contained within it merges into the sky, keeping the dark clouds overhead within it. In this way, the thunderclouds above Thunder Mountain will never dissipate, eventually becoming an excellent place for cultivating the power of wind and thunder. The people of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion are indeed extraordinary."

Listening to Xiao Yan's introduction, Zi Yan nodded in agreement. Xiao Yan's face showed satisfaction upon seeing this, and then he looked at Xiao Fan, who remained silent.

"Senior brother, why aren't you saying anything?"

"What are you saying..." Xiao Fan gave Xiao Yan a dismissive look.

"Isn't all of this information already common knowledge?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, several black lines appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead, and his entire spirit and energy suddenly waned.

P.S.!!! It's 5 AM now, and I've been typing away until now. Who else is doing that?! I'm going to take a nap now, and when I wake up, I'll go all out again today, using today's update to provoke those authors with short and weak posts. I'm going to give them a piece of my mind!!!

Chapter 102 The Venerables Gather [Sixth Update]

Amidst the noise and commotion, the three of them gradually made their way up the towering steps towards the summit of Leishan Mountain...

"Wow!"

Just as the three approached the summit, a seven-colored phoenix let out a cry, then whistled overhead and flew towards the top of Leishan Mountain.

Sensing the presence above him, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, then looked up. On the back of the seven-colored phoenix stood a slender figure, exuding an aura of aloofness. She left everyone with only her back to them, and in the blink of an eye, she vanished on the seven-colored phoenix...

"Hiss! This must be Feng Qing'er!? Among the four pavilions, only Feng Qing'er travels year-round riding a seven-colored phoenix..."

"It must be her. No one else would dare ride a magical beast to fly up Thunder Mountain at this time..."

"Now that Feng Qing'er has arrived, the others should be arriving soon as well. I'm really looking forward to their battle. I wonder who the final victor will be..."

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Xiao Yan turned his gaze away from Feng Qing'er, his eyes filled with a faint sense of solemnity.

He had just sensed a faint threat emanating from this woman...

This shows that beneath their beautiful appearance lies formidable strength; they are not just a pretty face...

Feng Qing'er, atop the seven-colored phoenix, seemed to sense Xiao Yan's gaze. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she suddenly turned around, meeting Xiao Yan's eyes. Her gaze held a faint sharpness as she scrutinized him.

Finally, somewhat puzzled, he withdrew his gaze...

Xiao Fan withdrew his gaze, looked at Xiao Yan who was frowning, smiled slightly but did not speak.

Xiao Yan's strength has gradually caught up with the younger generation in Zhongzhou. When he comes into contact with them, he naturally feels a sense of crisis, which is a good thing.

Moreover, Xiao Fan was well aware that Feng Qing'er's strength was actually not weak.

She had only recently broken through to the Dou Zong realm in the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, but as a member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, she possessed numerous methods. In a true battle, Feng Qing'er could likely unleash the strength of a five-star Dou Zong, causing Xiao Yan considerable trouble in the original story...

The moment the three of them truly reached the summit, the clamor and noise emanating from above roared towards them like giant waves, causing them to involuntarily furrow their brows slightly...

"So many people...."

Looking at the densely packed crowd ahead, Xiao Yan spoke with some surprise. Before them lay a massive silver plaza, its perimeter already teeming with people. Every available space had been claimed, and even the surrounding silver trees were filled with figures gazing at the central plaza…

Seeing such a grand scene, Xiao Yan was momentarily surprised. His gaze swept across the silver plaza, and he could vaguely make out the buildings of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, peeking out from the distant clouds...

Xiao Fan and his two companions, seeing that there were no seats left, moved swiftly and appeared at the top of a silver tree. Like everyone else, they looked at the crowded venue and waited for the conference to begin.

At the other end of the central silver plaza, dozens of silver chairs were placed in the best spot on the entire viewing platform. However, at this moment, all of these chairs were empty, and there were many stern-faced disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion standing guard around them.

"Senior brother, those chairs must be for the VIPs of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion..."

Xiao Yan moved closer to Xiao Fan, pointed to the chairs in the distance that were still unoccupied, and spoke to Xiao Fan. Then he turned his gaze to the disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion standing all around the mountaintop, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Furthermore, the positions where these Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciples are standing allow them to clearly observe everything happening on the viewing platform. If any disturbance occurs, the nearest disciples can quickly arrive to quell it. As expected of a renowned force in Central State, they handle things flawlessly..."

Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Xiao Fan nodded in agreement.

After all, this was his first time seeing disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and those who could appear here to maintain order at the conference were undoubtedly elites from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion; their aura was naturally extraordinary...

"Thump........."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, a faint chime rang out, instantly plunging the once noisy mountaintop into silence. This signified that the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly was about to begin.

"laugh!"

As everyone fell silent, lightning flashed in the dark clouds in the sky, and then a massive bolt of lightning, more than ten zhang wide, roared out from the clouds and crashed down towards the mountaintop.

"boom!"

The blinding flashes of lightning caused everyone to squint. As the lightning dissipated, the sound of soft footsteps could be heard. Several figures, bathed in lightning, stepped out of the lightning and sat down on the silver chairs prepared by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

"Hiss! It's actually the four pavilion masters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

"I didn't expect that the heads of the other branches of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion would also be present at this Four Directions Pavilion Conference."

"The one in the middle must be Venerable Lei, the Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. The aura emanating from him is truly terrifying. Just looking at him is like staring directly at a bolt of lightning, making one's eyes sting..."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Xiao Fan and his companions also turned their attention to the group that had appeared on the chairs.

The leader was dressed in a silver-white robe with a silver-white beard. The robe was decorated with lightning patterns, which, from a distance, seemed to be alive, constantly moving around the Thunder Venerable's body, and faintly exuding a thunderous pressure.

"Such terrifying strength..."

Xiao Yan's gaze swept over Lei Zunzhe in the center. From this man, Xiao Yan sensed an extremely powerful threat. Apart from Lei Zunzhe, even the other three pavilion masters beside him only evoked a slight sense of threat from Xiao Yan; none of them possessed such a heavy and oppressive feeling...

"Is this the terror of a Dou Zun expert...?"

Sensing the oppressive aura emanating from Lei Zunzhe, Xiao Yan's expression turned solemn, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart.

Previously, when his senior brother broke through to Dou Zun, Xiao Yan couldn't sense any threat from Xiao Fan due to their prolonged contact. However, now, having witnessed other Dou Zun experts firsthand, Xiao Yan understood the gap between Dou Zun and Dou Zong. Judging from the aura emanating from Lei Zun, Xiao Yan had a premonition that even if he used the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame to forcibly enhance his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to inflict much damage on him…

"Peak of the Three-Star Battle Master..."

A golden light flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes as he activated his Golden Eyes, his gaze falling on Thunder Venerable. Xiao Fan easily saw through Thunder Venerable's strength.

As Xiao Fan's strength increased, the role of the Golden Eyes gradually expanded. Now, relying on the existence of the Golden Eyes, Xiao Fan can easily see through the strength of these powerful individuals without being detected by them.

Among the four pavilions, Venerable Lei's strength is second only to Venerable Feng. Having witnessed Venerable Lei's strength, Xiao Fan did not make any further moves.

"laugh!"

As the members of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion took their seats, a sword's cry rang out once more. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant sword, tens of feet in size, falling from a distance toward the mountaintop. The sharp aura carried by the sword once again caused a gasp of surprise among the crowd.

"Sword Master, Sword Master has arrived!"

"I never expected that two of the Four Directions Pavilion Masters, who are usually elusive, would be present at this year's Four Directions Pavilion Conference. You know, even in previous Four Directions Pavilion Conferences, it wasn't always the case that a Dou Zun level expert would show up. This trip was truly worthwhile!"

"Hahaha, Sword Master, I didn't expect you to be the fastest to arrive this time."

On Mount Lei, the Thunder Venerable, who had already taken his seat, looked at the giant sword in the sky, stood up, and laughed loudly.

As the giant sword flew to the mountaintop, it trembled slightly and then turned into starlight and disappeared. Two figures then landed and entered the seating area.
