The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 889: The First Round
The central square of Dan City.
This was the very core of Dan City, the heart of its activity.
From the early morning, the plaza had been filled to the brim with people.
The vastness of this square was beyond imagination; it could accommodate millions of people with ease.
Additionally, the plaza’s tiered design included unique spatial expansions, allowing it to hold an almost innumerable crowd.
Today, over a hundred million spectators had gathered to witness the first round of the grand event in Dan City.
The scene was unprecedented.
This was undoubtedly the most spectacular gathering the Divine Dan Realm had seen in countless years.
As the first round was purely focused on alchemy, the atmosphere in the plaza bore a strong resemblance to the previous grand occasion at the Northern Abyss Divine Sect.
The vast plaza was lined with countless alchemy platforms.
The alchemists who had passed the preliminary round were already well aware of the procedure for this round.
“Amazing. I thought I had gotten used to the grandeur, but I clearly underestimated the wealth of the major cities of the cultivation world,” Su Jingzhen remarked in astonishment.
Led by a servant girl from their estate, Su Jingzhen and his companions had smoothly arrived at the Central Plaza.
The scene before them once again left Su Jingzhen marveling.

The sheer number of people present here easily exceeded the population of most nations from his previous life on Earth.
Upon further thought, Su Jingzhen mused that each sect in the Cultivation World was essentially its own sovereign entity – nations in a different guise.
“Master, your seats are over there,” the maid said respectfully.
This maid, assigned by the Divine Dan Sect to serve Su Jingzhen, was no ordinary individual. Her cultivation level was extremely high.
Along the way, Su Jingzhen noticed several Divine Dan Sect disciples bowing respectfully to her, indicating that she held a significant position within the sect.
It was evident that she was well acquainted with the arrangements for the alchemy event.
Under her guidance, Su Jingzhen, Little Ling, and Qiu Yaoyao reached one of the best spots in the front row of the viewing area, offering a prime vantage point.
Those seated in the same row exuded extraordinary auras, even though Su Jingzhen didn’t recognize them. Their presence alone revealed them to be prominent figures – likely leaders of major powers from various divine realms.
Among them, Su Jingzhen spotted Yu Xinhai, the sect master of the Northern Abyss Divine Sect and a de facto ruler of the Northern Abyss Divine Realm.
Yu Xinhai’s seat was not far from Su Jingzhen’s, which indicated Su Jingzhen’s high status.
Sensing Su Jingzhen’s gaze, Yu Xinhai glanced over, smiled faintly, and nodded politely as a gesture of goodwill.
As the ruler of a mid-level divine realm, Yu Xinhai was already an almost incomparable figure in the cultivation world. This interaction further underscored Su Jingzhen’s prestige.
“Grandfather said he would be here today, so where is he?”
Little Ling looked around curiously, searching for Dantai Mingjing, yet he was nowhere to be seen.
“Who knows what Grandpa is up to? With his level of power, he might already be watching us from the shadows,” Su Jingzhen replied with a chuckle, though he too was deeply curious about what Dantai Mingjing might be planning.
As time passed, more and more influential figures began to gather in the Central Plaza.
Cheng Xian, Song Kaishan, and other elders of the Divine Dan Sect whom Su Jingzhen had encountered before also started to make their appearances.
Cheng Xian was accompanied by Wang Yingying, who immediately started scanning the crowd as soon as they arrived at the plaza.
The moment Wang Yingying spotted Su Jingzhen and his companions, her face lit up with excitement.
“Brother Su… Sister Yaoyao… How have you been these past two days? I’ve wanted to come and find you, but my teacher wouldn’t allow it,” Wang Yingying exclaimed as she eagerly ran over to them.
Su Jingzhen and his companions responded with a smile.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen could clearly feel that when Cheng Xian and the other elders from the Divine Dan Sect arrived, at least ten powerful auras began to spread toward their area, as if silently observing them.
Dozens of obscure and hidden Divine Auras also began to probe him.
Given Su Jingzhen’s current abilities, he couldn’t trace who was investigating him.
However, he was already accustomed to this kind of situation, having anticipated it long before.
What puzzled him was that even though he was present at this event, none of the elder-level figures from the Divine Dan Sect had come over to greet him.
Even Cheng Xian, who was familiar with him, merely nodded from afar, offering a brief, distant acknowledgment.
“I feel like the atmosphere is a bit off,” Qiu Yaoyao remarked, furrowing her brows.
Perhaps due to their focus on the other alchemists, both Su Jingzhen and Little Ling were primarily paying attention to their fellow alchemists today, with Su Jingzhen acting more like a bodyguard, keeping a watchful eye on the situation.
“There’s nothing to worry about,” Su Jingzhen said with a smile. “No matter what the circumstances are, that Li Lingxi really meant us no harm.
Plus, as the second-highest ranking elder in the Divine Dan Sect, she’s a person of considerable standing. I think we are safe, at least in terms of security.”
Su Jingzhen expressed his confidence in this matter.
As time passed, a dazzling carriage glowing with five-colored divine light suddenly appeared on the horizon, speeding toward the Central Plaza.
The carriage was drawn by eight magnificent heavenly steeds, each of which radiated an impressive aura, with all of them having reached the Immortal Realm.
“What a grand entrance! Could this be the Sect Master of the Divine Dan Sect arriving?”
“With such divine beasts as mounts, it could only be the Sect Master of the Divine Dan Sect who has such a display of power.”
“If the Sect Master is here, then the first round of the Divine Dan Sect’s final selection for alchemists is about to begin.
To be honest, although many of the alchemists chosen from dozens of divine realms have impressive skills, there are still quite a few who are not qualified to make it to the end.”
“I heard that the first round involves refining fifth-grade pills, and those who cannot refine fifth-grade pills will be eliminated immediately.
Fifth grade alchemists can become VIPs in many divine realms, but for the final selection of the Divine Dan Sect, that’s just the starting point”.
Whispers of excitement spread across the square as the carriage approached.
As it hovered in the air above the central plaza, a clear and ethereal voice rang out from within the carriage.
“Grand Elder, please begin.”
As soon as the voice was heard, the entire plaza fell silent.
Everyone now knew that the person inside the carriage was the Sect Master of the Divine Dan Sect.
However, this time, she chose not to appear in person, a decision that everyone present could understand.
After all, for someone in such a high position, it was only natural for them to maintain a certain level of dignity.
Once the words were spoken, a white-haired elder emerged from among the Divine Dan Sect’s elders standing in the air.
The elder was slightly stooped and leaning on a black stick.
Yet, as he stepped forward, his aura surged and revealed his Immortal Lord level cultivation.
His presence immediately quieted the entire square.
“I am Zhou Daoqi. I will preside over the first round of the Divine Dan Sect’s final selection today!”
