Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess Chapter 3299: Gathering of Heroes!

Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

The moment for the Immortal Vault List competition to commence had finally arrived.

Because this year's tournament encompassed all nine states of the Nine Provinces Immortal Domain, the entire realm was buzzing with excitement.

The hosting venue was the Jiuxiao Immortal Palace, one of the premier powers within the Central Earth Immortal State.

Consequently, over the last three months, independent cultivators and major Sects from across the Nine Provinces Immortal Domain had been flocking to the Central Earth Immortal State to prepare for the event.

Naturally, while the Heavenly Pride of every major power and various rogue cultivators were there to compete, many others had gathered simply to witness the magnificent spectacle.

On a particular morning three days later.

Central Earth Immortal State.

Western Region.

The vast territory of the Jiuxiao Immortal Palace.

Spanning over ten thousand miles, the land was bathed in rising purple aura and ethereal immortal energy.

Immortal Mountains, reaching heights of thousands and even tens of thousands of zhang, pierced the heavens, while many others drifted suspended in mid-air.

Exotic greenery and rare flowers bloomed throughout the peaks, where silver waterfalls cascaded into flowing rivers, creating a scene of incomparable beauty.

Countless Immortal Palaces, grand halls, and elegant pavilions were perched atop the misty mountain summits.

The sky was filled with soaring immortal beasts, while auspicious and spirit beasts wandered through the lush forests and valleys.

With its picturesque landscapes and majestic atmosphere, the entirety of the Jiuxiao Immortal Palace resembled a grand, mysterious scroll come to life.

It was currently the early hours of the morning.

The rising sun bathed the world in a delicate golden radiance.

Situated behind the Jiuxiao Immortal Palace were nine peaks of ten-thousand zhang, standing like pillars supporting the sky, famously known as the "Jiuxiao Peaks."

At the center stood the "Divine Firmament Peak."

It was encircled by eight other summits: Qingxiao Peak, Bixiao Peak, Danxiao Peak, Jing Xiao Peak, Yuxiao Peak, Zhenxiao Peak, Purple Cloud Peak, and Taixiao Peak.

Presently, each of these nine peaks featured massive platforms carved from white jade, which shimmered softly under the morning light.

The Jiuxiao Peaks would serve as the battleground for this year’s Immortal Vault List competition.

At this time.

A multitude of independent cultivators and various forces had already gathered.

The mountain peaks were overflowing with people, and the sky was crowded with hovering ancient boats.

The number of attendees had already surpassed three hundred thousand.

Furthermore, the crowd continued to grow as more arrived on ancient boats, soaring Dharma artifacts, or riding mutated beasts.

It was a massive assembly of heroes, vibrant and full of life.

"The ninth Immortal Vault List competition is finally starting after a three-year wait!"

"Fellow Daoists, who do you predict will break into the top ten this time? And who will seize the number one spot on the Immortal Vault List?"

"I suspect the top ten won't see much change; it will likely be the same eleven elite Heavenly Pride as before! The Golden Crow Crown Prince will probably maintain his rank at the top!"

"That isn't certain. Three years have passed since the last tournament; new stars might emerge to challenge the rankings of the Immortal Vault List!"

The air was thick with the sounds of people debating and discussing the upcoming competition.

"Has anyone heard of a youth named Yang Luo?"

Suddenly, someone brought up Yang Luo’s name.

"Of course! Over the last two years, Young Master Yang Luo has been incredibly active throughout the Nine Provinces Immortal Domain. His name is known in nearly every state!"

"Indeed, word is that this boy possesses immense potential, comprehension, and talent, along with formidable strength!

He has slain numerous powerful experts from the Golden Crow Sacred Land, the Gu Jinpeng Family, the Great Amplification Sacred Land, and other major forces, striking fear into many!"

"Some claim he is the fastest-rising star in the Nine Provinces Immortal Domain. If he enters, he might actually secure a spot in the Immortal Vault List top ten!"

"I truly hope he joins the fray; it would be spectacular to see this rising Heavenly Pride with my own eyes!"

The conversations became increasingly spirited, with many people showing great excitement.

Even those who didn't know Yang Luo well became intrigued after hearing of his legendary exploits.

Meanwhile.

Upon the high platform of Divine Firmament Peak.

Xiao Tengyu, the current Palace Master of Jiuxiao Immortal Palace, was receiving guests alongside several Elders.

The top Heavenly Pride of the Sect, "Jiuxiao Immortal Monarch" Xiao Yiming, stood by his father and the Elders to welcome the visitors.

With his hands behind his back, Xiao Tengyu turned to Xiao Yiming and asked, "Yiming, now that you have attained the Taiyi Xuanxian Early Stage, are you confident in reclaiming a spot in the Immortal Vault List top ten?"

Xiao Yiming tightened his grip and replied, "Father, I cannot say for sure if I will make the top ten again, but I will give it my all and never bring shame to our Jiuxiao Immortal Palace!"

"Excellent!"

Xiao Tengyu nodded in approval. "Yiming, it would be wonderful if you can maintain your rank!

However, do not be disheartened even if you fall short of the top ten!

The path of life is long; there is no reason to be consumed by temporary setbacks or successes!"

Xiao Yiming looked toward the horizon and remarked, "I wonder if Brother Yang will participate in this tournament.

If he does, a place in the top ten of the Immortal Vault List is practically guaranteed for him."

"Oh?"

Xiao Tengyu asked with a hint of surprise, "Yiming, are you truly so convinced that young Yang Luo can break into the top ten?"

"Without a doubt!"

Xiao Yiming nodded firmly. "You haven't met Brother Yang, so it is hard to grasp just how powerful he is!

Back at Flying Immortal Peak, he defeated both Mu Yunshang and me with a single strike!

He was already a Taiyi Xuanxian back then!

Given how much time has passed, his Cultivation and power must have reached even more terrifying levels!"

Elder Xiao Xishan added, "Tengyu, young Yang Luo is indeed exceptional!

What makes him truly special is that beyond his strength, his talents in artifact refining and alchemy are Unparalleled in the World!"

Elder Xiao Shengxian also chimed in, "The sight of him refining artifacts with one hand and performing alchemy with the other while defeating Mu Yanchen and Mu Chenfeng is a memory I won't soon forget!

I have never encountered any young man with such mastery over both crafts!"

Xiao Tengyu laughed and said, "Elder Xishan, Elder Shengxian, hearing your praise makes me even more curious about this boy!"

Just then.

The surrounding crowd suddenly erupted into a commotion.

"The delegations from the Wandao Immortal Sect, Yaochi Holy Land, Futu Holy Hall, and Purple Mountain Divine Dynasty have arrived!"

"The aura of those from the top forces is truly overwhelming!"

The spectators all turned to watch.

They observed massive ancient boats, each spanning thousands of meters, approaching from four different directions.

Banners bearing various totems stood tall on the decks, snapping in the wind.

The vessels were crowded with people.

At the helm were the leaders of the four great powers of the Central Earth Immortal State: "Yaochi Saint" Gu Qinglan, "Wandao Immortal Master" Guo Mengchuan, "Purple Mountain Divine Monarch" Mu Zelin, and "Futu Saint Master" Luo Shenghui.

The "Purple Mountain Divine Lady" Mu Yunshang, a top-tier Heavenly Pride from the prior competition, stood behind Mu Zelin.

"Wandao Immortal Monarch" Guo Xiaochen accompanied Guo Mengchuan.

Song Zhixin followed behind Gu Qinglan.

She was representing the Yaochi Holy Land in this tournament.

As soon as they arrived, her eyes scanned the area, searching for any sign of the Flame Emperor or Yang Luo.

She hadn't seen Yang Luo and the others in over six months since they last parted, and she missed them dearly.

However, she was confused by their absence.

Her brow furrowed slightly; was it possible that Little Luo and the rest weren't going to show up for this competition after all?
