Chapter 66: Invite to the Decades Assembly Summit

Three days later.

What was once a terrifying forest filled with dangerous, vengeful spirits had now been cleared.

A newly created road passed through the forest, showing the resourcefulness of human nature.

Previously, no one would have dared to visit such a dangerous forest at the border, but now, various carriages ran through the newly formed road.

Some carriages were made from expensive wood, guarded by guards on horseback, while some were ordinary.

Apart from the carriages, there were many people riding horses, rushing toward a specific location.

Three days ago, the Thousand Wealth Chamber had invited all the clans and powerful warriors in the western region to their new establishment.

The Cloudsoar Retreat.

With the fame and power of the Dust Valley Sect, no one dared look down on the invitation. Moreover, the Thousand Wealth Chamber was known for creating something spectacular, which made everyone curious.

Deep inside the Endless Forest, a magnificent cluster of buildings rose majestically among the ancient trees.

Crafted from gleaming stone and intertwined with vibrant greenery, their architecture deviated from traditional designs, combining organic elements with elegant, flowing shapes.

Everyone who saw the structures couldn’t help but be awed by their grandeur, as they seemed to breathe with the life of the forest itself.

Around the buildings was a wall ten meters in height and was guarded by guards. Each guard was clad in steel armor, with their weapon hanging on their waist.

At the entrance was a massive gate with hundreds of guards protecting.

As the carriages arrived one after the other, they were stopped by the guards and were given an identification token, led to a pavilion for waiting.

By noon, hundreds of people had gathered in the pavilion, with their faces full of curiosity.

Just looking at the grand building had taken their breath away.

"I knew it! The Thousand Wealth Chamber wouldn’t do something ordinary!"

"Right. Just looking at the buildings makes me want to live here forever."

"Hmm? What I don’t understand is why they would build such beautiful buildings in the middle of this dangerous forest."

The group was silent, as this was the confusion of everyone that arrived at the Cloudsoar Retreat. They could not understand the thought of the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

Nevertheless, that did not stop them from enjoying and praising the spectacular architecture.

All the young masters and young misses that came with their parents held their breath. As a young master and young miss, they prided themselves on the wealth of their clans.

However, compared to the building, their clan estate was nothing. They could not be compared at all.

How wealthy could they be to build such crazy buildings in the middle of a forest?

Just thinking of it made them grow in envy.

"Another group has arrived..."

Instantly, the crowd’s attention turned to the newly arrived group. When they saw the new group, all the murmurs stopped abruptly.

Everyone had their gaze on the Dust Valley Sect core disciples. Even though their number was less than twenty, they commanded pride and respect.

Now, who would dare look down on a Dust Valley Sect disciple?

As if on cue, the top three clan masters took their children to greet the Dust Valley Sect disciples.

Jing Wing, the eldest disciple, responded to the enthusiastic greeting with a light smile on her face.

After a few minutes, the pavilion was quiet, as everyone waited for the event to start. They did not need to wait long, as a fatty with a few maids behind approached them.

Looking at him, all the Dust Valley Sect core disciples had a light frown on their faces, but no one spoke.

Zhao Tian, dressed in an expensive yellow silk robe, stopped a couple of feet from the crowd, which was now looking at him.

As a person who loved to show and brag, how could he miss such a rare chance?

"Welcome everyone to the Cloudsoar Retreat," he began slowly, a light playing on his lips.

"Most of you would be wondering why such beautiful buildings were created in such a dangerous place?" His gaze moved from one person to another.

Even though no one responded, that was their major question.

"Don’t worry, you will find out very soon," Zhao Tian said calmly while chuckling inwardly.

The crowd were inwardly furious. Why would you raise our hopes if you’re not going to tell us?

As for the core disciples, they were not shocked by Zhao Tian’s shameless action. Everyone knew him in the sect.

Ignoring their cold gaze, he continued. "The Cloudsoar Retreat would be one of our important grounds, and for you to be the first group to visit, you should be proud."

"You might not know, just to enter this retreat, the gate fee would be one thousand spirit stones."

"What!"

Everyone widened their eyes in shock. Why would they have to pay such a large amount?

"Expensive, right?" Zhao Tian asked.

The crowd nodded.

"Wrong. The young master wanted to set the gate to ten thousand spirit stones, but I begged him to lower it to one thousand. So, all of you must be grateful to me." He puffed his chest outward.

’Huh!’

They gasped.

Ten thousand spirit stones for a gate fee. This was madness.

"Looking at your faces, I know you’re all thinking the young master was crazy. Humph." He snorted. "Follow me."

He clapped both behind his back and sauntered off with the maids behind.

Looking at his excess fat body, the crowd wore ugly expressions. Still, they followed him quietly.

Walking on the wide road made of cobblestone, they sighed in amazement at how much money was spent.

Suddenly, Zhao Tian stopped in front of a ten-story building. In front of the building was the plaque ’Golden Phoenix Restaurant.’

"This is the Golden Phoenix Restaurant, where you can eat Tier-1 spirit food. A Tier-1 spirit food can turn a mortal to cultivator, while it could allow Mortal Rank to prompt quickly to Foundation Realm in less than one year."

All the crowd widened their eyes in disbelief. A Tier-1 spirit food.

Even though most of them were just hearing about Tier-1 spirit food for the first time, they knew it was something important.

"Young master, are you telling the truth?" the Deng clan master asked with a trembling voice.

"Do you think this young master would lie to you?" Zhao Tian sneered. "I told you, the Cloudsoar Retreat was unlike anything you’ve ever seen."

"For those trying to break through to the Core Refining Realm, eating a Tier-1 spirit food would solidify your foundation, making your breakthrough easy."

Looking at Zhao Tian, they found him quite pleasing to the eyes.

Even though most of the clan masters were in the Core Refining Realm and Tier-1 spirit food would not affect them too much, what about their sons, daughters, and clansmen?

Just thinking of it made their blood boil, as they could not wait to buy the spirit food.

"Oh, let me remind you. You can’t buy takeout," Zhao Tian said with an evil grin.

"Really?"

"Yes." His grin deepened as he enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotion from the crowd. "Let’s continue. This is just the beginning."

The Golden Phoenix Restaurant had already won them over, but he just said this is just the beginning.

Quickly, they followed him to another massive building. This time, it was an auction house.

"Don’t compare our auction house to any auction house. Here, you can find Earth-Grade techniques and more. We won’t auction common items but rare and expensive items."

"Let’s move to the next building." Zhao Tian led them to the tallest building.

The building was over 30 stories, towering over every other building.

Standing at the foot of the building made them feel like ants compared to the building.

Zhao Tian looked at the crowd, and his smile deepened.

"Everyone knows how thin the spiritual energy of the western region is compared to other regions, right?"

The crowd nodded.

"But now, you don’t have to worry about the thin spiritual energy." His voice rose an octave, filled with pride. "Here, you can cultivate as if you’re in a cultivation holy land."

"Apart from the pure spiritual energy, the cultivation rooms have a special formation that will help you understand your cultivation technique and speed up your cultivation by ten percent."

"What!"

Various gasps of disbelief echoed from the crowd. They found it impossible to believe.

Even outside the western region, such a place was not common.

"Ah! I know some of you will not believe it. So, I’ll let ten people try the lowest grade," Zhao Tian chuckled.

"Five people should come out, and five core disciples."

Quickly, ten people stepped forward and were led inside the cultivation tower. Inside the tower was a grand lobby with two female attendants waiting.

The female attendants led the ten people to ten separate cultivation rooms.

Outside, the crowd waited in anticipation. Could it be true? they thought, with their hearts pounding heavily against their chests.

Ten minutes later, the ten people came out with their faces filled with shock and excitement.

"How was it?" the Bai clan master asked his daughter.

"It is true. I’m so close to a breakthrough. If I spend more minutes inside, I will have a breakthrough," the Ice Goddess said confidently.

"Hahaha. I broke through the Foundation Realm stage-2!" the Fang clan young master laughed happily.

"I also broke through," a female core disciple also said.

The crowd was ecstatic. Some felt like crying. Even though they knew it wouldn’t be free, they did not care.

Many had been stuck at their current stage for many years because the spiritual energy in the western region was too thin for them to break through to the next stage.

But now, they have the chance.

How could they not be happy?

******

Meanwhile, outside the western region, two people were traveling at a dazzling speed impossible for the eyes.

Quickly, they entered the western region airspace.

"I can’t understand why the assembly would still insist on sending invitations to the western region," the woman said in annoyance.

Her partner, a middle-aged man, did not respond but was also having the same feeling as the woman. "Let’s just give the invitation and leave this backward place."

’Hum!’

Suddenly, both had a light frown on their faces. ’How could this be?!’ they exclaimed in their hearts.

Whoosh!

Just then, a person appeared before them.

"Two seniors, what brings you to our region?" Liu Zexian asked respectfully.

Even though all three of them were in the Early Golden Core realm, the middle-aged man was Stage-2 Golden Core realm while the woman was at Stage-1.

The two outsiders recovered quickly, and the woman said in shock, "Who would have expected a Golden Core expert would appear in this backward region?"

Liu Zexian did not respond and only stared at the middle-aged woman.

The woman snorted in anger for being ignored.

Taking a silver scroll from his spatial pouch, the middle-aged man threw it to Liu Zexian.

"Your region has been invited to this year’s summit," the man said casually.

With that, he turned and departed, followed by the woman.

Left alone, Liu Zexian looked at the scroll for a moment. Previously, their sect was too weak to receive such an invitation.

It was always the Radiant Sect that received the invitation, but now...

"The Decade Assembly Summit. Interesting." A light smile appeared on her face before she disappeared.
