"Miss Xue, Yun Xiao is a truly talented ridian Refining Master who has already obtained the Spirit-grade Advanced Pulse Refining Master Badge in the Lingtian Empire. Perhaps you could consider..."
Qian Sanyuan didn’t expect Xue Ningxiang to suddenly interfere. He revealed a fact he knew, which left the powerful cultivators from Tenglong Continent beside him utterly stunned.
"So, since Yun Xiao can participate in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, he must be no older than thirty, right? A Spirit-grade Advanced Pulse Refining Master under thirty, how... how is this even possible?"
ng Liyang’s tone was filled with disbelief because such a ridian Refining genius, even in the Tenglong Continent, is extrely rare, let alone in the even lower Plane of the Hidden Dragon Continent.
ridian refining, besides requiring ample experience and practice, also necessitates a formidable ridian Refining Master, otherwise one simply cannot reach such high levels alone.
A Spirit-grade Advanced Pulse Refining Master under thirty, everyone knew what that implied. At this mont, not only Xue Ningxiang, but also ng Liyang and others like Gu Hua, beca intrigued by Yun Xiao whom they hadn’t yet t.
"What? Vice Chairman Qian, do you think my Xuanyin Hall doesn’t have high-level Pulse Refining Masters?"
Despite facing the Vice President of the ridian Refining Master Association, who was much more powerful than herself, Xue Ningxiang didn’t back down, instead arguing her point logically.
Certainly, Xuanyin Hall is one of the top sects in Tenglong Continent, surely harboring so high-level Pulse Refining Masters, even the Chief ridian Refining Master. Their strengths are no less than that of Qian Sanyuan here.
"Alright, I think there’s no need for you two to argue back and forth. Yun Xiao might not even pass this stage, and besides, which faction he joins in the end ultimately depends on his will, doesn’t it?"
Seeing the situation between the two turning sowhat stiff, ng Liyang had to intervene to ease the atmosphere. His last words, however, hinted at concealed thoughts—it seems he too harbored intentions towards Yun Xiao.
The dialogue between these significant figures shocked the Xuanyue Empire’s King, Xuan Haoran, who had been able to only respond twice earlier and couldn’t get a word in edgeways. The information shared sparked tumultuous thoughts within him.
Regarding Yun Xiao, Xuan Haoran thought he knew quite a bit, from his origins in the Shang Family of Moon Bow City, to becoming a disciple under the Sect Master of Jade Pot Sect, and ultimately seizing the title of the number one genius of the sect in the Spiritual Chick Battle List.
But now, Xuan Haoran had every reason to think he still knew too little of Yun Xiao. Not to ntion, he was unaware of the latter’s identity as a Spirit-grade Advanced Pulse Refining Master.
According to the information reported back by Commander Jing Yu of the Demon Suppressing Mountain, it only ntioned Yun Xiao appearing in Moon Cool City, seemingly returning from the Lingtian Empire, and other information was selectively omitted.
Of course, these weren’t the critical points; what shocked, and even pleasantly surprised Xuan Haoran, was that the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference had just begun, and these bigwigs of the Tenglong Continent had already started fiercely competing for Yun Xiao.
In these hundred years of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, which young talent has ever received such regard from these strong cultivators of the Tenglong Continent? Xuan Haoran could not recall any such person.
Ever since Yun Xiao treated Xuan Jing’s illness, Xuan Haoran had regarded him with new respect, but he never imagined that in less than a year, this young man would engage in such shocking and extraordinary deeds, attracting these sect leaders to compete for him.
Regardless, Yun Xiao was considered a person from the Xuanyue Empire. If he were to be taken in by these sects, it may also benefit the entire Xuanyue Empire.
"Jiuding and Yun Xiao seem to have a strained relationship; it looks like I need to find an opportunity to get him on friendly terms with Yun Xiao."
Thinking of so past grievances between Yun Xiao and Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding, Xuan Haoran thought deeply, realizing that compared to Yun Xiao, who might be recruited by powerful sects of the Tenglong Continent, a Crown Prince of the Xuanyue Empire seed considerably less significant.
"Maybe starting from Jing’er would be easier!"
Xuan Haoran’s thoughts continued to evolve, and a resolve that had solidified over two decades seed to shift slightly for the first ti as he began to consider the potential of his second son.
...
Let’s not talk about the conversation among the bigwigs at the summit of Demon Suppressing Mountain. The person in question, Yun Xiao, was currently experiencing a critical mont.
Several days had passed since Yun Xiao consud the Green Origin Fruit, and due to this area being protected by a powerful Vein Demon, apart from Di Ying who was previously killed, no one else or Vein Demon had co to disturb.
Hoo... Hoo...
The energy of this world seed, at this mont, to be drawn by sothing, surging towards Yun Xiao’s vicinity. Under the operation of his Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, it turned into streams of pure ridian Qi, stored throughout the ridians all over his body.
If soone could see through the pant leg on Yun Xiao’s left leg, they would notice a faint green special ridian running through his entire left leg, appearing extrely mystical.
In this special ridian, there seed to flow a faint green luminescence infused with wisps of life force—this was what’s known as the Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein.
Yun Xiao had guessed correctly; the fourth Ancestor Vein he activated was indeed a Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein, and it was vivified under the influence of the Green Origin Fruit, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure with a robust wood attribute.
Boom!
After activating the Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein, Yun Xiao felt a thunderous noise in his mind. Imdiately after, his body tensed, and the ridian Qi throughout his body seed to break through a barrier and rushed towards another space.
Mid Stage of ridian Union Realm!
The gains from this experience were enormous for Yun Xiao; aided by the Green Origin Fruit, not only did he activate his fourth Ancestor Vein, but he also advanced to the Mid Stage of the ridian Union Realm.
However, returning to the point, several months had passed since Yun Xiao had broken through to the Early Stage of ridian Union Realm in the Lingtian Empire. With accumulated depth leading to a sudden leap forward, such a breakthrough was only natural.
It is worth ntioning that although the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique has many miraculous aspects, the speed of ridian Qi Cultivation is not comndable—it is even several tis slower compared to Yun Xiao’s cultivation speed as the Dragon Cloud Battle God in his previous life.
However, after the breakthrough, Yun Xiao had so insights. He thought although the improvent of cultivation level is slow with the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, each step is extrely solid. The ridian Qi seed as if it had been tempered countless tis, enabling him to win battles against cultivators of the sa level.
If previously Yun Xiao had so reservations facing individuals like Shen Wannian and Nie Qianqiu, now that he had reached the Mid Stage of the ridian Union Realm, he would no longer have any fear.
It was just a small gap in realms, and after exhibiting all his techniques, Yun Xiao would likely bridge the gap. However, all of these might only be proven in that ultimate final battle.
"It really feels great!"
Standing up, Yun Xiao sensed his significantly increased power, smiled with satisfaction and extended his left leg, his smile deepening.
"The fourth Ancestor Vein!"
Yun Xiao took a deep breath and felt even more hopeful about his reborn body; having activated four Ancestor Veins at the ridian Union Realm, sothing he had not accomplished even as Dragon Cloud Battle God in his past life.
Moreover, Yun Xiao believed that with the power of this fourth Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein, his physical strength might beco even more formidable, especially his recovery ability which would be beyond comparison to ordinary people.
The nurturing effect of the Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein on the body need not be ntioned, its strongest aspect being the formidable life force it contains. Especially in incidents of injury or poisoning, it maximized the protection of the cultivator’s physical body, having first-rate lifesaving capabilities.
"Hey, I wonder how many people have already arrived at the foot of Demon Suppressing Mountain?"
After feeling his power, Yun Xiao’s gaze shifted towards a certain direction. He hadn’t forgotten the purpose of entering the Demon Realm this ti. Now that his strength had increased significantly, it was ti to compete with the top talents of the Hidden Dragon Continent.
...
Swoosh!
Yun Xiao’s figure quickly disappeared into the distance, and at the sa ti, at the foot of Demon Suppressing Mountain in the Demon Realm, a large number of people had already gathered.
However, these people’s auras were sowhat unstable, with only a minority appearing composed, and so even had tattered clothes. It seems that their journey here must not have been easy, likely having exerted their utmost effort.
It’s no joke, Yun Xiao had encountered a Fifth Rank Advanced Vein Demon before, and if not for his many thods, he might have perished early.
Other talents from the Hidden Dragon Continent did not possess Yun Xiao’s ability to fight across ranks. Their arrival here depended not just on their strength but perhaps also a bit of luck.
It’s worth ntioning that the low-level Sixth Rank Vein Demons that ng Liyang, the master of the Demon Realm, ntioned earlier, didn’t appear even once.
This also played a crucial role for everyone to reach the foot of Demon Suppressing Mountain. If there were indeed low-level Sixth Rank Vein Demons, probably none of these people would have survived.
The Countries Hidden Dragon Conference is not a slaughter ground, although it is the lowest of planes, it’s not devoid of so super geniuses. Separating these geniuses from the diocre and enrolling them into their respective sects is the ultimate purpose of the moguls from the Tenglong Continent.
As more and more talents approached the foot of Demon Suppressing Mountain, the one thousand slots available for the first round of selection decreased, involving so luck but it was impossible to accommodate everyone.
However, at this mont in several places, a few curious figures were looking around, seemingly searching for soone, especially several slender girls whose anxious eyes were quite evident, attracting the frequent glances of the n around them.
