The several peerless geniuses felt bitter in their hearts, but they dared not resist. They immediately began to tidy up, praying in their hearts that after performing well, the Dark Night Heir would not come back to trouble them.

They only sought to survive.

Many heavenly prodigy experts took action, displaying their divine abilities, and a collection of rare treasures was laid out, creating a stunning scene. Skyreach Peak, originally just a mountain deep within the Dark Ancestor Land, often attracted visitors because it offered a view of most of the Dark Ancestor Land, forming a platform area. Now, with everyone bringing out their unique treasures, this mountain peak was adorned as if it were a holy ground.

Various sacred auras soared to the heavens.

In fact, several pavilions were built, made from divine gold and celestial stones carried by these heavenly prodigy experts. Originally, these materials were top-tier for refining and cultivation. However, in preparation for the arrival of Lady Sikong, they were used as the most ordinary pavilion foundations, which made people sigh and feel emotional.

The Qilin Crown Prince waved his hand, casting out colorful rays of light, enveloping the Skyreach Peak in mist, transforming it into a celestial paradise.

This qilin divine light was a special divine object of the qilin divine kingdom, representing auspiciousness. The mist was exhaled by the qilin ancestor, containing supreme rules that could be perceived by others.

Taken outside, it would count as a top-tier treasure, yet the Qilin Crown Prince used it merely to decorate the Skyreach Peak, showing his lavish expenditure.

Looking towards the Decomposing Blood Grave, a Black Jade Table was set up, adorned with some Holy Fruit Immortal Flowers, all extraordinary materials of the highest quality.

During the preparation, the Dark Night Heir even specifically arranged a special position for the Qilin Crown Prince beside Lady Sikong’s chair.

“Only the Qilin Crown Prince can accompany a goddess like Lady Sikong,” he flattered as he arranged.

The Dark Night Heir's deliberate flattery made many other king-level prodigies and prominent figures present exchange glances, their expressions showing some displeasure, but they did not voice their thoughts.

Although the Dark Night Heir's actions seemed overly obsequious—after all, he was a king-level prodigy and should have some restraint—everyone felt that his behavior wasn't overly excessive.

After all, while everyone present had extraordinary statuses, among the prodigies, the Qilin Crown Prince indeed had the most qualification to stand beside Lady Sikong.

Furthermore, the qilin divine kingdom was a vassal of the Sikong Sacred Ground. While there were strong figures present whose cultivation might not be inferior to the Qilin Crown Prince, the fact that he even brought out the qilin divine light showed that he definitely had the approval of the ancestor of the qilin divine kingdom.

Many people had also heard a rumor that the qilin divine kingdom intended to arrange a marriage with the Sikong Sacred Ground, offering the Qilin Crown Prince to Lady Sikong as a person of the Sikong Sacred Ground.

This was not just an unfounded rumor; there was indeed a reason behind it, as there had been whispers that the Sikong Sacred Ground wanted to pass its lineage to Lady Sikong.

This meant that Lady Sikong would not marry and would inherit the teachings of the Sikong Sacred Ground. Many speculated that in the future, she would seek a talented youth as a partner from a branch of the Sikong Sacred Ground or a force under its jurisdiction.

After all, forces of equal level like the Shihen Imperial Sect and Linyuan Sacred Gate would not marry their top prodigies into the Sikong Sacred Ground; only the next tier of top forces would do so to curry favor with the Sikong Sacred Ground.

While the Qilin Crown Prince was to inherit the legacy of the qilin divine kingdom, marrying into Lady Sikong would carry even greater strategic significance for the qilin divine kingdom.
