“It’s him!” Taiqing Xuan affirmed, “I have already investigated this young man thoroughly.”
“Before the age of sixteen, he was insignificant. But in just over a year, he progressed from the initial martial cultivation stage of body tempering, through the meridian condensation and spirit mansion stages, all the way to the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang realm!”
“Consider this: among the prodigies of the major powers in Qingzhou, who among them did not begin their martial journey at the age of six or seven, consuming rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures to nourish their bodies, and receiving meticulous personal guidance from their clan’s elders?”
“Yet he, deemed worthless before sixteen, has crossed heights in just over a year that many cannot achieve in a lifetime!”
“Now, as this young man enters the Heavenly and Earthly Gates, the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect will undoubtedly seek to kill him. And within the other major powers, there may also be those who fear the rise of such a prodigy!”
“Just imagine, a prodigy who has risen without any help, and now with the support of Lingjian Mountain… which major power would want to see Lingjian Mountain, after Si Yin’s eventual retirement, produce another invincible figure like Ye Wushuang?”
Upon hearing this, Taiqing Yao’s delicate brows furrowed.
Ye Wushuang, who was now seemingly… only seventeen years old?
Realizing this, Taiqing Yao couldn’t help but look towards the direction where the Lingjian Mountain group was gathered.
“Yaor, my dear, I tell you these things not to have you compare yourself with Ye Wushuang, but to remind you that there are always people better than you and skies beyond the sky.”
“Do not provoke or offend Ye Wushuang. Simply focus on your own affairs.”
Taiqing Yao nodded and said, “I understand, Mother.”
Ye Wushuang!
A young genius who emerged from the Qingyun Empire, whose fame seemed to grow with each passing day.
Most importantly… Ye Wushuang had only truly begun his martial journey a little over a year ago.
How did this guy cultivate?
Did he learn any martial technique and instantly master it?
Did he break through any cultivation barrier at will?
Taiqing Yao was puzzled.
She believed her talent was already at the top level, yet even so, she faced bottlenecks when progressing from the spirit mansion stage to the Heavenly Gang stage, and from the Heavenly Gang stage to the Wanfa stage.
Did Ye Wushuang not face such bottlenecks?
There are always people better than you!
And skies beyond the sky!
Her mother’s words were indeed correct.
Compared to the vast Tianyuan Continent, Qingzhou was nothing more than a small region.
And Taiqing Yao aspired to one day lead Taiqing Palace out of Qingzhou, towards the central lands of the Tianyuan Continent, and establish a firm foothold there!
While some feared Ye Wushuang, others harbored resentment towards him.
The Tianji Mansion!
The Shengdan Sect!
These two forces were locked in a bitter, unending feud with Ye Wushuang.
Both sides understood that even if they didn’t target Ye Wushuang, given the destruction of the Ye Clan, he would inevitably make the annihilation of their two major sects his lifelong goal.
In the direction of the Shengdan Sect.
The head of the Shengdan Sect, Sheng Tianzhe, currently had an ashen face.
Beside him, seven elders, all dressed in gorgeous and elegant alchemical robes, stood resolutely.
Originally, the seven great alchemists of the Shengdan Sect were renowned for their alchemical skills and formidable strength.
Sheng Xuan was dead.
The Shengdan Sect had newly elected an elder—Lan Ruyi!
With a cold expression, Sheng Tianzhe said, “Has the order been passed down?”
“Rest assured, Sect Leader. Everything has been instructed,” one of the elders replied.
“Whoever kills Ye Wushuang will be rewarded by the sect with: a choice of one Heavenly King-grade spiritual weapon, a choice of one Heavenly King-grade martial technique, and a single fifth-grade spiritual pill.”
Sheng Tianzhe’s face darkened further as he said, “Pass down the order that it’s not one weapon, one technique, and one pill, but three weapons, three techniques, and three pills!”
Upon hearing this, the seven elders’ expressions changed.
But soon, two of the elders left, apparently to convey the order.
This time, the Sect Leader was truly furious!
Three Heavenly King-grade spiritual weapons, three Heavenly King-grade martial techniques, and three fifth-grade spiritual pills!
Even for a major power like the Shengdan Sect, this was a significant sacrifice.
“Saint Mission Mountain!”
“Here!”
Sheng Tianzhe coldly said, “Go tell Sheng Feizhan and Sheng Fuxia that they can forgo the opportunities and treasures within the Heavenly and Earthly Gates this time, but Ye Wushuang must die!”
Saint Mission Mountain, the foremost among the seven great alchemists of the Shengdan Sect, was known for his remarkable strength and strategic mind. Hearing the Sect Leader’s words, he also felt a chill.
“Sect Leader… for the sake of one Ye Wushuang, to do this… it will certainly offend Lingjian Mountain,” Gongye Ming, the second of the seven great alchemists, said bitterly.
“Is that so?”
Sheng Tianzhe coldly looked at Gongye Ming and sneered, “If we don’t kill him, won’t he kill us?”
“Have you seen this young man’s talent? When he reaches the Wanfa realm, or even the Guiyuan realm, the void realm, or perhaps even the cave void realm above the void, do you think he will spare our Shengdan Sect?”
“The downfall of the five major families of the Qingyun Empire was all because of him. Next, his target will undoubtedly be our Shengdan Sect and the Tianji Mansion, won’t it?”
Hearing this, Gongye Ming sighed and kept silent.
The other elders also remained quiet.
At the same time, Tian Wuzhan, the head of the Tianji Mansion, also issued the same order to his four mansion leaders.
The fourth mansion leader, Linghan, had been killed, and the current fourth mansion leader had just been elected.
Shang Minghong!
Ling Peng!
Tan Qingyi!
Yin Qiu Shui!
The current fourth mansion leader, Yin Qiu Shui, had taken the place of the deceased Linghan.
Tian Wuzhan, looking at the four mansion leaders, was not in a good mood either.
“Si Yin, that woman, always bullies others with her power and is used to being domineering!” Tian Wuzhan cursed, “She will pay the price sooner or later!”
The fourth mansion leader, Yin Qiu Shui, tried to persuade him, “Mansion Leader, please lower your voice…”
“So what if I speak louder? Am I afraid of her? Can she kill me? Dare she? If she really kills me, the entire Qingzhou will besiege Lingjian Mountain!”
Although he spoke like this, Tian Wuzhan’s voice became quieter and quieter…
The mansion leaders, with wry smiles in their hearts, knew that Lingjian Mountain’s foundation was the shallowest among all the major powers in Qingzhou.
Yet an invincible Sect Leader Si Yin was enough to make Lingjian Mountain look down upon the rest.
The deterrent power of a top-tier strong figure was just that terrifying.
Once Lingjian Mountain accumulated enough strength, it might produce several void-level figures in the future and unify Qingzhou!
Meanwhile, on the side of the Tianyan Dynasty.
This time, not only did Prince Tianming arrive, but Emperor Tian Huang Yu himself made a personal appearance.
The journey to the Heavenly and Earthly Gates was of great significance, and no major power could afford to be careless.
After all, it involved the Tian Gang and Wanfa realms, which were the backbone forces among the major powers!
Emperor Tian Huang Yu, dressed in a dragon robe and exuding an extraordinary aura, yet appeared approachable.
Beside him stood several core figures of the dynasty, including Prince Tianming and Prince Tianjing.
“This time is interesting. Judging by everyone’s reactions, it seems that Ye Wushuang is quite detested…” Emperor Tian Huang Yu said with a smile.
For any ordinary Tian Gang-level genius, how could they possibly catch Emperor Tian Huang Yu’s attention?
But Ye Wushuang was far from ordinary.
Prince Tianming bowed and said, “Ye Wushuang is indeed extraordinary, but compared to the seventh and ninth princes, he still falls short!”
“Yuan Dong and Yuan Bing are indeed more powerful than him now, but they are also older. Among the princes of the same age, none can match Ye Wushuang!”
Hearing this, the princes just smiled along.
Emperor Tian Huang Yu suddenly said, “Where is Minister Xu? Has he arrived?”
