The farce drew to a close.

Many people did not take the incident to heart, considering it merely a joke to pass the time.

As time went by, more and more young kings arrived at the Forest Park.

Figures such as the Divine Lady of the Phoenix Race and the Donghuang Divine Body made appearances to participate in the gathering of young talents tonight.

Now, in the Forest Park, there were as many talents as there were clouds—countless globally renowned heroes from both the Human and Ancient Races, as well as geniuses from the families of Ancient Emperors.

In a bamboo grove at the back of the park.

At this moment, several top young kings gathered and sat.

Figures like the Dragon Heir, Saintess of the Royal Family, the Donghuang Divine Body, and the Dao Body were present.

Besides them, many young kings from the Outer Realm were also present.

Notable figures such as Yu Yuanshan and other Young Master Level talents from the Di Race of the Outer Realm appeared, even Saintess Qing Ling was there, which surprised many.

After all, everyone knew that not long ago, Saintess Qing Ling had been taken hostage by Ji Chen.

Tensions existed between them, and now that the Lingyun Sect was establishing a Sacred Land, no one expected her to come and observe.

"It's said that a daughter of the Ancient Emperor has emerged from Celestial Martial; I've heard of the fame, and today, upon meeting, her grace is indeed unparalleled."

A young man in white sat quietly, with a gentle smile and scholarly demeanor. He gazed at Huang Shuying and continued, "In the future competition on the Emperor's Road, I hope for more guidance from the Divine Lady."

"I'm unworthy of such praise."

Huang Shuying spoke, her gaze meeting the young man's. She knew well his background and identity, a renowned young king named Ning Bufan, the Banished Immortal!

"Brother Ning comes from humble origins, yet now possesses two Emperor Scriptures, becoming famous in Daoxuan; while compared to him, we so-called geniuses of the Di Race truly feel ashamed," someone remarked.

The name Banished Immortal was known throughout the world.

Currently, in the Daoxuan Star Realm, there are few who can be compared to Ning Bufan.

The geniuses from Sacred Lands, Ancient Races, and top talents, even in the presence of Ning Bufan, find a vast gap in cultivation.

No one knows the extent of Ning Bufan's current capabilities.

But it's certain that in this era of Daoxuan, among the younger generation, few can face him in combat.

This is truly a young king, surpassing countless peers!

"Everyone overpraises me. Comparing origins, Brother Ji isn't much nobler than I am, yet he now leads Lingyun Sect, one of the strongest forces in Daoxuan. Compared to him, I am still lacking."

He spoke with a smile, appearing genuinely humble, not just putting on a facade.

"Speaking of which, have you two met yet?" Gu Hao asked.

Ning Bufan nodded, "Brother Ji is similar in age to us, yet he is now one of the Saints of our time, extraordinarily powerful. Not having met such a figure is truly regrettable."

"He should come tonight." Beside Huang Shuying sat an extraordinarily beautiful woman, said to be the Kunlun Saintess Si Ruyan.

"It's said that the Hongmeng Body is invincible at the same level, but I don't think so. He just hasn't met a true master yet."

At this moment, a faint voice spoke. The speaker was a woman in red, holding a blue treasure sword, standing beside Ning Bufan. She was said to be Ning Bufan's personal Sword Attendant, with cultivation comparable to some ordinary Saints.

Her name was Lin Ruyue, who had followed Ning Bufan for many years.

Reportedly, the reason for Ning Bufan's rare public battles was because anyone wishing to challenge him was stopped by Lin Ruyue.

Many renowned talents or young kings from the Outer Realms had been defeated by Lin Ruyue's sword.

Legend has it that no one ever lasted more than ten moves against her.

She was an exceptional Sword Dao genius, highly skilled, rivaling many older Sword Dao heroes.

An Outer Realm Sacred Land, which specializes in Sword Dao, once invited Lin Ruyue to join their Sect, promising her a status equivalent to a Saintess.

But Lin Ruyue refused. She has always followed Ning Bufan and has never thought of joining another force.

"Miss Lin's swordsmanship is exceptional. Among the younger generation in Daoxuan, few can compare. But Ji Chen is not ordinary. Those who underestimate him usually end up paying."

Someone spoke highly of Ji Chen.

Everyone looked over and found that the speaker was a Demon Heir.

He had once fought a great battle with Ji Chen, ending in defeat. Although reluctant to admit it, Ji Chen's current strength had surpassed his own.

As the Demon Race Crown Prince, Yao Yuntian had his pride.

Ji Chen defeating him was proof not to be underestimated. How could Lin Ruyue be so dismissive?

That was essentially belittling himself as well.

"I am not arrogant. In swordsmanship, among the younger generation, few can take ten of my moves. Whether it's Ji Chen or anyone else, it makes no difference to me."

Lin Ruyue folded her arms, the blue sword in her hand emitting a faint glow, a Sacred Rhyme, indicating that the sword had reached the Saint Soldier Level.

"Confidence is good, but blind confidence can backfire," Yu Yuanshan remarked.

"Little girl, you talk big for your age. Over the years, no one has dared to dismiss Brother Ji like that. I'd love to see what makes your swordsmanship so formidable," another young man, Mo Cheng, challenged Lin Ruyue, standing up to fight.

Fortunately, Mo Wanqing hurried to stop him. After all, the night's gathering aimed for harmony, and everyone clearly wished to avoid conflict.

"You're just a greenhorn, yet you dare comment on my age? Someone like you, I can defeat with one sword," Lin Ruyue retorted, her eyes meeting Mo Cheng's, a hint of battle intent emerging.

"Ruyue, do not be reckless."

Ning Bufan intervened to mediate, calming both sides, and they each snorted and ceased to regard each other.

"Apologies, everyone. With the Sect establishing a Sacred Land, there are many matters needing my attention, hence my delayed arrival."

At this time, from outside the bamboo grove, came a voice. Looking towards its source, they saw Ji Chen, in white robes, accompanied by Qu Luoning, with blue hair and youthful demeanor.
