Chapter 227: Heavenly Talents from All Regions
“Woo woo woo—”
The wild wind howled, and snow fell for miles.
Wenyun Town was covered in a thick layer of white snow, the cold air chilling to the bone, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
A new year, a new month; in other places, it would already be spring.
However, in Wenyun Town, heavy snow still blanketed the area, fitting for the name Wenyun Town.
But unlike the usual quiet, this time, even with the snow falling, Wenyun Town was bustling with life. Countless Spiritual Law masters flooded in, and every inn, hotel, and even brothel was packed to capacity.
The Wenyun Ceremony, which had not been held in decades, was about to take place!
The prize was the legendary ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruit!
This top-tier Spiritual Herb could transform a mere mortal into a genius; for someone already talented, it would elevate them even further!
Such a precious herb was not rare in the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, but in the core area, it belonged to the two great Spirit Sects and was not something that a single town could contest.
Because of this, most of the elite talents hailed from the Spirit Sects.
The Xiang Family offering the ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruit as a prize attracted talents from far and wide, drawing them well beyond the scope of Wenyun Town.
Geniuses from surrounding regions were arriving non-stop. Those seldom seen before were now everywhere in Wenyun Town.
At this moment, only those with formidable backgrounds and strength had the right to command respect.
The first heavyweight figure appeared around noon.
Dressed in a battle robe, he was wrapped in chains that clinked with each step, producing a notably heavy sound.
The newcomer was a spirited young man with profound and sharp eyes that seemed capable of piercing through stone.
“The genius from the You family, You Kaiwu, has even heard the news and come here?”
“Completing Physical Law at seven, entering the spiritual realm at thirteen, and at twenty, he can suppress the three great spiritual realms of the Wang family with one hand, humiliating them; he is no ordinary character and is already close to the Qilin Rankings!”
“Interesting, the Xiang Family’s Qilin child is favored by the Qushuang family and may possess terrifying potential, but he is only five years old now. How can he compete with the already famous You Kaiwu? Is he trying to intimidate us with the Qushuang family’s reputation so that we don’t dare to win?”
Some onlookers revealed a playful glint in their eyes.
The Huangzhou families were countless, and many had connections with powerful figures.
A single Qushuang family could at most prevent them from casually seizing the ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruit, but it wouldn’t intimidate everyone.
And You Kaiwu was only the beginning; there would probably be more top-tier geniuses arriving to snatch the Sun Wheel Fruit.
This was a treasure that could bring them closer to the Qilin Rankings, a rare opportunity indeed.
Sure enough.
At dusk, another top-tier genius arrived.
A fierce beast pulled a cart for him, crossing the sky. With a loud neigh, all the families in the city tensed, recognizing the newcomer with worried expressions.
Another powerful rival!
“The Ao family from Snow Mountain, given a flying beast by the Spirit Sect—this is their heir, Ao Xiu! The ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruit is masculine in nature, but the Ao family always practices Ice Element; what brings them here?”
“Could it be that he wants to balance Yin and Yang, allowing his spiritual body to achieve great perfection?”
Many young men frowned.
The Ao family, born with the Ice Element, already had frightening strength. If they truly reached a higher level, they would be contenders for the Qilin Rankings and become an overwhelming generation of talents.
“This aura… Ao Xiu has indeed completed the spiritual realm. If he gets the ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruit, his strength will likely transform again, naturally stepping into the law realms. What a pity, what a pity—I am here.”
The young man in white had bright eyes and calmly sipped spiritual wine, not considering Ao Xiu a threat.
His followers smiled around him: “Exactly! Under the heir’s Divine Sword, what are Ao Xiu and You Kaiwu? Just mere dust! The heir is invincible!”
“The heir is invincible!”
The exclamation drew attention. Many people frowned, wondering who was so arrogant as to claim invincibility!
The young man in white did not stop their gazes but let them look freely.
Then, numerous would-be cultivators gasped, blurting out, “The Divine Sword, Nangong Xungu, a candidate for the Qilin Rankings, has actually come! This Wenyun Ceremony is truly filled with countless talents; the Xiang Family is taking a big risk!”
Nangong Xungu’s arrival threw the families in Wenyun Town into chaos, bringing heavy pressure upon them.
In the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, news was still quite limited.
Only the most outstanding, renowned talents had the chance to earn the title.
Nangong Xungu earned the name of the Divine Sword by severing the ends of the world with a single strike, even halting those in the law realms.
Even the weakest law realms would far surpass the spiritual realm, and under Nangong Xungu’s sword, even the law realms were trapped and unable to advance. His strength in the spiritual realm was already unmatched, making him a strong competitor for the Qilin Rankings.
Many guessed that if Nangong Xungu challenged any talent on the Qilin Rankings, he would likely win in a single battle, not needing to wait many years to force out the older generation.
…
Xiang Family.
In a garden pavilion, Xiang Baizheng and several high-level members were gathered.
Yun Ye was among them, listening to the discussions about the current situation in Wenyun Town.
Every so often, a family member would report serious new developments. Regardless of their true feelings, they all expressed deep concern for the family.
“Ladies and gentlemen, someone has spotted the Divine Sword Nangong Xungu in the town; he intends to compete! His strength surpasses that of other talents and may prove to be a great enemy to the heir!”
“The second son of the Tianxin family has arrived, protected by the law realms. His strength is incredibly terrifying, and it is said he is also interested in the Wenyun Ceremony and wants to compete with many other talents!”
Notable competitors continued to emerge.
And each time a well-known figure appeared, Xiang Baizheng and the others would laugh heartily, showing no sign of tension.
The family member reporting the news felt puzzled but subtly noticed the attitude of the Xiang family’s high-level members.
These talents, these small figures, are not to be feared!
“What is going on…? Even if the heir is exceptionally gifted, he still needs time to grow. Is it not inevitable that there will be rivals from the outside? Is the family not intending to win?”
The family member pondered this question as he left, unable to understand that talent has no limits.
Due to the unequal information, he could not grasp why the Xiang family’s high-level members were laughing.
“Xiang Ying, the more talented individuals there are, the greater your potential will be. Stepping onto these genuinely extraordinary talents to reach the top, the Qilin Rankings will likely change in an instant! Even if it doesn’t change, the heir will rise, gaining the Qilin status. The heir will not only attain the law realms but may even become unrivaled!”
“Indeed! Gaining the Qilin status, Xiang Ying, you will start ahead of several of your brothers and will surely attract Elder Qushuang’s attention, becoming the main seat of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect. This is a great fortune for our Xiang Family!”
“Ha ha ha! Elders, you flatter me! But it is true, victory is assured! I have an unshakeable belief in invincibility!” Xiang Baizheng laughed heartily, patting Yun Ye on the shoulder. “I can hardly imagine the expressions on those talents when they are swept away! Delightful! So delightful!”
“Xiang Ying, in this battle, you will crush and win! Do not worry about their pride, understand? In the past, our Xiang Family, including myself, was the one getting swept away. Now is the time for our Xiang Family to reverse our fortunes!”
Yun Ye nodded. “I will.”
