Chapter 59 Unexpected
Although Lian Yun had suddenly changed her requirements, Lan Ruoxuan had already begun to adjust her mindset. The connection to the realm of performance was not very significant, and after nearly a month, she was naturally well-prepared.
On July 16th, all members of Cloud Realm gathered at Azure Pavilion. Naturally, Azure Pavilion was closed for business that day. However, the performance venue was not in her courtyard but in the main hall on the first floor.
Five hundred fifty-five members of Cloud Realm sat around the central stage.
Originally, Lian Yun intended to sit at the back, but Lan Ruoxuan insisted she sit at the front. She wanted to see if listening to Dream of the Ancient Times for the third time would be effective.
Since she hadn’t thought of this before, Lian Yun had only brought Su Fang along. However, she felt no regrets. After all, her Demon Mothers had already improved quickly enough.
After listening to Dream of the Ancient Times last time, Su Fang had become less resistant towards the other Ghost Slaves, including Lian Yun, but her attitude hadn’t changed much. Thus, Lian Yun still bound her tightly to prevent any sudden outbursts.
However, it seemed that Su Fang had gained quite a bit from the last experience. This time, even without Big Head, she didn’t struggle much; she only wore a somewhat fierce expression.
“Ding~~”
After a light chime, Lan Ruoxuan stood with her instrument in hand. Despite it being the third experience, Lian Yun still felt it was incredibly real, unsure whether she was dreaming or in reality.
This time, however, Lian Yun didn’t mind too much; any surprises would be welcome, and if there were none, it wouldn’t be a loss.
With that thought, Lian Yun stood up and took Su Fang away from the crowd before stepping outside to observe the state of the five hundred fifty-five members.
Two days later, after dueling with Qin Kui outside the city and experiencing half a day of fierce battle before ultimately defeating him, Lian Yun felt something strange. It was undoubtedly within Dream of the Ancient Times, leading her to wonder if she could consider herself having defeated Qin Kui twice when she returned to reality for their true confrontation.
However, Lian Yun dared not truly believe she possessed absolute power to kill Qin Kui. This was still within Dream of the Ancient Times, where events unfolded based on her assumptions or predictions and some subconscious developments.
The specifics of reality could not be concluded so easily.
This time, however, instead of immediately entering seclusion for comprehension, Lian Yun felt playful and wandered around the city.
She suddenly realized that during her previous two experiences, she had been completely focused on seclusion and ignored external matters. This time, paying attention to some external information could be considered a form of foresight—almost like being a prophet.
Yet after wandering for just a few days, she obediently returned to the Mansion for contemplation.
While the Three Golden Hairs each attended to their own tasks, Lian Yun focused on understanding her own realm and breaking through.
After all, he was about to face Qin Kui. If he had enough time this round to break through to Medium Monarch, he would have greater confidence.
Although the Three Golden Hairs had already broken through to the High Emperor Realm, they were still considered Ghost Bodies, which meant their breakthroughs were different from those of a physical body. Therefore, Lian Yun still needed the experience and feeling of breaking through to Medium Monarch.
Not long after the breakthrough, Lian Yun woke up.
Three months had passed, barely a tenth of the time.
Lian Yun was not surprised by this. He waved his hand and released nearly five thousand Mental Potions to restore five hundred fifty-five people. These were requested from the Xianjian Sect, marking the third condition.
Given Lian Yun's current relationship with the Xianjian Sect, it would be difficult for them to refuse any requests he made, nor did they want to refuse. To put it dramatically, as long as Lian Yun wished to stay at the Xianjian Sect, becoming a Grand Elder was not out of the question.
Thus, Lian Yun used up all three conditions to avoid any potential grievances among certain elders of the Xianjian Sect.
Currently, there were five hundred fifty-five people in the Cloud Realm, almost all of whom were High-Level Monarchs or above, with nearly half being Peak Monarchs. Although they all awakened simultaneously, their experiences varied in length and nature, resulting in a somewhat chaotic aura emanating from them.
Overall, however, there was a significant surge; many felt an impending breakthrough to Monarch level.
For this reason, Lan Ruoxuan did not mind and calmly said, "Let’s break through here to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Thus, Lian Yun stayed behind as well and prepared to break through to Medium Emperor Realm.
Two days later, although Ma Wenlong and others wanted to witness Lian Yun's duel with Qin Kui, since they had just broken through or were close to doing so, Lian Yun instructed them all to return to Xianyang City.
On June 18th, all Major Powers finished organizing their gains from the Initial Emperor Beast Tide and flocked to Chang'an City. Not only did representatives from Xianyang and Chang'an come, but leaders from eight Famous Cities abroad also arrived.
The duel between Peerless Monarchs was not unheard of, but a life-and-death battle was a first in a century. Such an event naturally drew attention.
However, the developments took everyone by surprise, including Lian Yun, who had once defeated Qin Kui in Dream of the Ancient Times.
Today, as Lan Ruoxuan walked alongside Lian Yun out of Azure Pavilion and saw the sea of people gathered outside, Lian Yun was somewhat taken aback.
In Dream of the Ancient Times, while he noticed a considerable audience, it was nothing like this; it resembled a grand event that occurred once every hundred years.
The reason for this was that deep down, Lian Yun believed that prominent figures from the Four Great Cities would come to watch the battle but expected few attendees from the Twelve Cities. This discrepancy led to what he had seen in Dream of the Ancient Times.
This situation did not significantly affect Lian Yun at first; however, it did cause his heart to grow heavier.
Because he previously thought that "Dream of the Ancient Times" was merely a form of foresight, he believed that even if there were differences, they would not be significant compared to reality.
He did not expect such a drastic change upon his arrival. This made him question whether his ability to defeat Qin Kui was also entirely false. This uncertainty forced Lian Yun, who already knew Qin Kui's weaknesses, to treat the situation with caution.
Was that weakness of Qin Kui truly a weakness?
Although the square was crowded, as soon as Lian Yun appeared, the entire area fell silent; the crowd's breaths were audible. Then, they actively made way for him, regardless of whether they were kings or Monarchs.
Exiting the city directly, ten miles beyond the city walls, an appropriate battle Arena had already been constructed.
This Arena was built collaboratively by the four Huaxia Cities and various Major Powers to ensure fairness in the duel.
While Qin Kui was looked down upon, both he and Lian Yun were Peerless Monarchs. Regardless of who won or lost, it would be a significant loss for the Huaxia Ethnicity.
At the same time, this was also to prevent any sudden attacks from individuals from the foreign Eight Great Cities.
It was crucial to understand that if Lian Yun and Qin Kui were to suffer mutual destruction or if one were to die while the other was severely injured, the power of the Huaxia Ethnicity would be drastically diminished. At that point, if the Peerless Monarchs from the eight foreign Famous Cities suddenly attacked, even if they did not fear annihilation, there was still a high possibility that the Huaxia Ethnicity would suffer severe losses.
