First Summoner

The spirit ships of various forces were heading towards the Sky Island. If one looked down from above, the scene would be extremely shocking.

As time went by, one spirit ship after another arrived at the sea directly below the Sky Island like birds returning to their nests.

When everyone looked up at the sky, they saw a huge transparent ladder rising from the sea like a winding dragon, reaching into the sky, closely connecting the Sky Island with the sea.

All the major forces that arrived near the ladder stopped their spirit ships and stepped onto the ladder.

When the spirit ship of the Qiankun Sect team arrived near the ladder to heaven, it was already the next morning.

The young disciples of Qiankun Sect looked up at the giant ladder, their hearts filled with shock. They followed the elders down the spirit ship and stepped onto the steps of the ladder. At that moment, they felt an indescribable calm in their hearts.

One of the disciples asked in confusion: "Why is there a ladder to heaven here?"

Another disciple replied, "It is said that during the Tianzhou Dynasty, the Shen family reached the Sky Island with their powerful strength despite the ban on flying. Before that, there was no one on the Sky Island. It was the Shen family who used the spiritual objects of heaven and earth to build this ladder so that others could enter this place. A hundred years later, the Tianzhou Dynasty regarded the Sky Island as a holy place and also built it into the location for holding the Tianzhou Grand Meeting."

"The Tianzhou Dynasty has fallen, and now is the Changming Festival."

"Didn't they say that Princess Shen Ke from over 800 years ago has returned? She has also established the Tianzhou power. Does she want to restore the rule of the previous dynasty?"

"Restore rule? You're overthinking it. It's no longer the world of the Tianzhou Dynasty. It's the world of various sects, factions, and families."

"That's right."

"But I'm curious if there have always been people living on Sky Island?"

"There should be."

Everyone was talking about it.

Shen Yan stepped lightly on the stairs and couldn't help but look up towards the sky.

At this time, Nie, who was walking far ahead, paused and slowly turned back. His eyes swept across the girl's cold and beautiful face, and ripples appeared in his heart.

The temperature at his collarbone became even hotter, as if reminding him of something.

At the same time, in the Qiankun Sect team, Helian Yujie's gaze also moved to Shen Yan, and her eyes deepened slightly.

...

After walking up the ladder and passing through layers of clouds, the Qiankun Sect's team finally arrived at the fascinating Sky Island.

Sky Island is vast and boundless, with no end in sight. The island is full of green mountains and clear waters, lush trees, and ancient and layered buildings. The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the huge spiritual tree in the distance ahead. It stands in the center of Sky Island like a pillar supporting the sky, giving people a solemn and solemn feeling.

This spiritual tree towers into the sky, and its thick trunk and dense branches and leaves make people marvel at it. It exudes a powerful spiritual fluctuation, as if the entire Sky Island was nurtured by it.

As soon as they stepped onto Sky Island, everyone felt relaxed.

Nowadays, the marble-paved road in front is bustling with people, and it looks very lively.

Most of them are from various sects, schools and families.

There are also many independent practitioners.

The Changming event, held once every fifty years, will last for half a year.

This is also equivalent to an exchange meeting.

"Let's go." The leader of Qiankun Sect looked around and spoke slowly.

When Zhuge Youlin heard this, he came to Elder Qi and asked, "Master, where are we going next? Are we going to find a place to live?"

Elder Qi nodded and explained, "Yes. Almost all the places where the teams live are marked, because they are divided according to the rankings of the last Changming Festival. For example, our Qiankun Sect ranked ninth last time, so our Qiankun Sect will live in Courtyard No. 9 this time."

"So that's it." Zhuge Youlin suddenly realized.

Shen Yan said, "What about the forces that have not participated in the Changming Festival before?"

Elder Qi heard this and turned his head to look at Shen Yan: "If this is the case, they have to register with the island owner and let the island owner arrange it for them."

Jiang Xianyue frowned slightly.

"Is there an island owner on this Sky Island?"

Elder Qi laughed after hearing this. His eyes fell on Jiang Xianyue for a moment, then he looked at Shen Yan meaningfully and continued, "Of course, and this island owner has lived for many years and is extremely powerful. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one is willing to provoke her."

Shen Yan understood the hint in Elder Qi's eyes and nodded slightly to show that she understood.

At this time, Wen Yuchu suddenly interrupted and said, "Since there is an island owner, there must be islanders."

Elder Qi stroked his beard and replied, "Indeed. The strength of the islanders here should not be underestimated. They are warm and hospitable, but they will never tolerate any form of bullying."

Zhuge Youlin asked curiously, "Do they usually leave the island?"

"It should be possible." Elder Qi said.

Zhuge Youlin: "I thought they wouldn't leave the island."

Elder Qi suddenly thought of something, raised his hand, bent two fingers and tapped Zhuge Youlin on the forehead, and said solemnly: "The power ranking competition will start in a few days, so during this time, you should avoid causing trouble for your master!"

Zhuge Youlin raised his hand and touched his forehead which was hurt by the blow, and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely not cause any trouble, and I will help you keep an eye on them!"

Elder Qi laughed angrily.

Shen Yan and others: “…” How shameless.

Elder Qi ignored what Zhuge Youlin said and continued, "The power ranking competition is divided into two groups. One group is for the younger generation to participate in the competition, and the other group is a competition between elders. The results of these two groups will be added up and rearranged to determine the final power ranking of Changming Realm."

Hearing this, Xiao Zechuan nodded in approval: "In this way, this ranking is still relatively comprehensive."

Yu Changying asked curiously, "Master, at the last Changming event, did Jidao Sect take first place in both competitions?"

Elder Qi shook his head and replied with a smile: "That's not the case. Although Jidao Sect won the first place in the young group competition, it lost to Chengyun Hall in the elder group competition and ranked second. However, judging from the overall results, Jidao Sect is more outstanding, so it has become the number one sect in Changming Realm."

Yu Changying raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? Then what were the rankings of the two groups of Qiankun Sect last time?"

Elder Qi was silent for a few seconds after hearing this.

"The young group ranked twelfth, and the elder group ranked fifth."

Pei Su was surprised: "The gap is so big."

Elder Qi seemed to recall the past and sighed deeply, "It's because more than 50 years ago, the talented and capable young people were snatched away by other sects or families. Our Qiankun Sect did not recruit any particularly talented disciples..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan asked in confusion: "With the reputation of Qiankun Sect, it shouldn't be unable to recruit talented disciples. Did something happen?"
