Welcome to the opening salvo of the Immortal Fortunes Assembly’s first round! This chapter flips the script from "who has the biggest sword" to "who has the sharpest mind." Ji Ning quickly realizes that with 100,000+ geniuses crammed into the Brightmoon Landscape Painting, raw power alone is a recipe for disaster. When a tempest of over a hundred Wanxiang Adepts collectively decides to hunt him down, he pulls a tactical nope and *bolts*, proving the old Xianxia adage: he who fights and runs away lives to fight another day. But the real fireworks aren’t in the painting—they’re in the viewing hall. The Grand Xia Emperor’s quiet viewing party is crashed by a crew of legendary beings: Lü Dongbin, Great Strength Bodhisattva, Emperor Di Hao, and more. These are Pure Yang True Immortals and major players from across the Three Realms, here to scout future talent. The power ceiling just got a *lot* higher.
This chapter is the **mindset reset** for the Immortal Fortunes Assembly arc. The endless killing and scheming rules we learned in the Cage Battle and War God Hall now apply on a *massive* scale, with 100,000 participants who are all nearly equal in raw power. Pay close attention to how Ji Ning adapts: he *immediately* learns the lesson that fleeing is not cowardice—it’s strategy. The real treat, though, is the VIP section. Seeing Lü Dongbin, Great Strength Bodhisattva, and the others show up is a massive lore drop. It tells you that this is not just a tournament for a dynasty’s pride—it’s a **Three Realms-level scouting event** for the upcoming great chaos. If you’re a lore junkie, memorize the names of these eight visitors. Some of them will become very important later.
