Chapter 554 Task (1/2)

The northern area of the Shengzhou Continent, Sacred Palace.

Majestic white buildings adorned the mountain ranges like snowflakes, while a feeling of high security enveloped the area.

Mist swirled around a cliff where a figure was seated. A large robe was draped over his body, revealing only his silver hair and silver pupils that made him appear mysterious and unfathomable.

It was palace master Sheng Yuan.

He was currently holding a bamboo pole that stretched over the edge of the cliff, while a white thread hung from it.

Below the cliff was a great violently churning river. The river had a dusky hue, and a baleful aura rose from it. One would just barely be able to make out enormous black shadows streaking past below the surface. However, when these menacing black shadows zipped past below, they seemed to sense a terrifying all-powerful aura from above, causing them to shiver and not dare to make even a squeak.

Swoosh!

The sound of rushing wind suddenly rang out as three figures descended from the sky. They landed behind palace master Sheng Yuan and respectfully said, “Greetings palace master.”

The trio consisted of two males and a female.

The leader was a handsome young man, his white hair tied up behind him. Two strands hung from the side of his head, stringing through two blood-red beads that gave off a faint blood-red glow.

He wore a cheerful smile, making him look extremely friendly, approachable and kind when paired with his slightly long and narrow eyes.

However, regardless of whether it was in the Sacred Palace or the Shengzhou Continent, the mention of his name would make the expressions of countless prided geniuses change.

Sacred Palace, Jiang Taishen.

The rank one Chosen on the Shengzhou Continent’s Chosen rankings.

This number one position had not been kindly bestowed to him by someone, but something that he had personally earned over the years by wading through seas of blood and stepping over mountains of corpses...

Beside Jiang Taishen was a slender young lady in black. Her features were delicate and extremely pretty, giving her an enchantingly alluring aura especially when paired with those bright red lips.

A pair of fair and slender long legs grew from under her black skirt in a domineering fashion.

Her skin was snow-white, so white that it made her look a little sickly and weak. Her pupils were exceptionally unique, containing a blood-red tint within them.

She gave off a gentle and soft aura as she quietly stood there, yet also strangely alluring at the same time.

However, not a single disciple in Sacred Palace dared to hit on her, because she was called Zhan Taiqing, and was an existence second only to Jiang Taishen in Sacred Palace. She also occupied the third spot on the Shengzhou Continent’s Chosens ranking, and most of the opponents she fought would end up as dried husks.

The final member of the trio was a tall young man. He had a head full of bright golden hair, and revealed a set of sinisterly white teeth when he smiled. His pupils were also golden like his hair, but did not contain a single shred of emotion, making anyone who saw them shudder inside.

Jin Chanzi, fifth on the Chosens ranking.

The three of them were the most outstanding individuals among the current younger generation of the Sacred Palace.

Each one was already a well known figure in the Shengzhou Continent.

Palace mater Sheng Yuan continued to hold his bamboo pole, as he turned his head and looked at the trio with a faint smile. “In a few days, the Mythic Utopia should resurface in the south sea. The participating disciples of the Sacred Palace have already been decided, and you three will be leading them.”

Jiang Taishen, Zhan Taiqing and Jin Chanzi respectfully nodded in acknowledgement. Though they were talented geniuses, they also understood that the one before them was a true overlord existence that could mostly do as he pleased in Cangxuan Heaven.

There was still an unimaginable gap between them and him.

“Every time the Mythic Utopia resurfaces, the prestige and reputation of the various factions will be affected. I hope that even more people will know of Sacred Palace’s might in the future.”

Palace master Sheng Yuan smiled faintly as he said, “After all, there are still many who feel that Sacred Palace is not the number one sect in Cangxuan Heaven.”

Jiang Taishen’s long eyes narrowed, elongating them even more as he smiled and said, “Does palace master feel that the more Chosens from other sects die the better?”
