Chapter 5364: Invitation from the Nine Heavens Zenith
How strong is Ling Xiao then? Bai Yunqing asked.
I cant reveal that. Youll know in due time, Jie Yu replied.
Tsk. Whats there to hide about this? I mean, hes either at Royal Dragon God-cloak or Immortal God-cloak, right? Besides, he went to the Nine Heavens Zenith, didnt he? Well know how strong he is very soon anyway, Bai Yunqing said.
Ignoring Bai Yunqing, Jie Yu turned to Chu Feng and passed a communication talisman to Chu Feng as he said, Rest well, Chu Feng. Feel free to call me if you need anything. Ill be taking my leave now.
Chu Feng accepted the communication talisman, but he couldnt help but ask, Didnt you mention that there are things you would like to verify?
Theres no need for that anymore. I already have my answer. Youre the real deal. I shouldnt have jumped to conclusions that quickly, Jie Yu replied before taking his leave.
Big brother Chu Feng, it looks like you have won that fellow over. Look at how his attitude has changed. Not a trace of his past arrogance at all, Bai Yunqing said.
He was conceited, but at least he had principles. What do you think? Chu Feng asked.
I dont know. There are only two people I trust in the world. One is my master, and the other one is you, Bai Yunqing said.
You mentioned the Nine Heavens Zenith earlier. What is that? Chu Feng asked.
Big brother Chu Feng, you can think of the Nine Heavens Zenith as a place similar to the Ancient Realm. It has a long history behind it, and it is often drifting around the land, making it impossible to pinpoint its location. However, the Nine Heavens Zenith is much more famous than the Ancient Realm.
First and foremost, the ruler of the Nine Heavens Zenith, Master Nine Zenith, is a powerful individual who is well-versed in both cultivation and formations. In fact, there are rumors that he is on par with the galaxy overlords.
There is a humongous formation spanning the entire Nine Heavens Zenith, and the formation is known as the Heavens Ranking. As soon as the Heavens Ranking opens, itll be visible to everyone in the world of cultivation. Youre a world spiritist yourself, so can you imagine just how powerful must one be in order to pull that off? Bai Yunqing asked.
Chu Feng could hardly imagine just how much spirit power it would take in order to make something visible to the entire world of cultivation, especially considering how huge the universe was.
The Nine Heavens Zenith would periodically send out invitations, and those who received an invitation would usually participate in the event. Do you know why? Bai Yunqing asked.
Why? Chu Feng asked.
Thats because the Nine Heavens Zenith only invites the strongest juniors out in the world of cultivation. Not every single generation of juniors has received an invitation; that in itself should tell you how strict the criteria are. Just receiving an invitation in itself is proof that an individual is a huge deal in the current era.
Let me put it this way. The last time the Nine Heavens Zenith sent out an invitation was in Lord Jie Ranqings era. Since then, no one has been invited to the Nine Heavens Zenith till now. In fact, Lord Jie Ranqings generation was the first time in a long while anyone has been invited to the Nine Heavens Zenith. Furthermore, I heard that the invitations this time around are different from usual, Bai Yunqing said.
Whats the difference? Chu Feng asked.
I heard that the last time the Nine Heavens Zenith opened, the other powers paid a visit to Master Nine Zenith to request that their prodigies be allowed to compete on the Nine Heavens Zenith. It was out of respect for those powers that Master Nine Zenith issued the invitations. This time around, Master Nine Zenith did it on his own accord, Bai Yunqing said.
Youre saying that not even the juniors in Lord Jie Ranqings era were enough for Master Nine Zenith to send out invitations? In other words, the juniors of the current era are much stronger? Chu Feng asked.
You can take it that way, but thats only to be expected. Lord Jie Ranqing was indeed powerful, but none of the prodigies that shared her era are close to her level. On the other hand, were currently in the Gods Era. There are simply too many outstanding juniors out there. Someone of my strength could have easily been the strongest junior back then, but in the current era, Im nowhere close at all, Bai Yunqing said.
In other words, those who have been invited to Nine Heavens Zenith will have a fight there to decide who is the strongest, then the Heavens Rankboard will announce the result to the entire world of cultivation? Chu Feng asked.
Thats right. Its basically a tournament for juniors. All of the top prodigies have been invited, including the Seven Realms Sacred Mansions Ling Xiao. The result should be out very soon. By then, well get to witness the legendary Heavens Rankboard with our own eyes. You should know that the Heavens Rankboard didnt even trigger back in Lord Jie Ranqings era! Bai Yunqing said.
Those words revealed that the tournament conducted at the Nine Heavens Zenith back in Jie Ranqings era wasnt an official one, which explained why the result wasnt announced by the Heavens Rankboard.
Things were different this time around. The tournament was conducted under the free will of the Nine Heavens Zenith, so the legendary Heavens Rankboard that was said to be able to reach the entire world of cultivation would make an appearance once more.
It sure is a pity that the Nine Heavens Zenith isnt an open competition. I would have loved to watch Xianhai Shaoyu in action! Bai Yunqing remarked.
Chu Fengs interest was piqued upon hearing Xianhai Shaoyus name. Who do you think will win the tournament?
Of course its Xianhai Shaoyu! Hes known to be the strongest prodigy of the Nine Galaxies! Not even our Totem Galaxys Long Chengyu can put up a fight against him! You can even say that hes the Jie Ranqing of our era... though his younger sister, Xianhai Yuer, seems to be even more talented, given how she had left her name in the Immemorial Star Sea.
Its a pity that the world doesnt know that our big brother Chu Feng is a rising star from the fallen Ancestral Martial Galaxy. I look forward to the day when people learn about what you are capable of! Bai Yunqing said with an expectant look on his face.
Youll have a place in Gods Era too, Chu Feng said.
That goes without saying. I might not be in the highest echelon, but I shouldnt appear too shabby lest I embarrass you, Bai Yunqing said.
I dont think you should call me big brother. Were good brothers; there shouldnt be any hierarchy between us, Chu Feng said.
That wont do. Ive already acknowledged you as my big brother! Bai Yunqing said.
Oh well. I guess I have no choice but to work even harder. Id become a laughingstock if I, as the big brother, am unable to protect my little brother, Chu Feng said.
Hahaha! Lets work hard together! Bai Yunqing said.
Meanwhile, Jie Yu had entered a palace, where the old woman and a black-haired middle-aged woman were waiting for him. The black-haired middle-aged woman was none other than Lord Shuang Yu.
Is that for real? Did Chu Feng really manage to claim the Life Crystal inside the trial? Jie Yu asked in astonishment.
Lord Shuang Yu had her doubts when she learned about the result of the trial. She couldnt understand how Chu Feng and Bai Yunqing could walk out unscathed from that entrance and even nourish a crystal of that tier. She tried to investigate the matter through her means, and that was when she noticed that the Life Crystal inside the trial had vanished.
I cant be certain whether they are the ones who took it, but the Life Crystal cant possibly disappear for no reason. Its probably their doing, Lord Shuang Yu said.
It must be Chu Feng then, Lord Shuang Yu. I just witnessed Chu Feng awakening the Life Crystal I have lost to him with my own eyes! Hes an extraordinary world spiritist. I dont think that there is anyone in our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion who can rival him, Jie Yu said.
Young master Jie Yu, what nonsense are you spouting? Lord Shuang Yus face turned cold.
Lord Shuang Yu, theres no doubt that Chu Feng is an extremely powerful individual. Even though he isnt from our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, we ought to acknowledge his strength. In fact, I hope to have him accompany me to the Ancient Palace, Jie Yu said.
Lord Shuang Yus face darkened. Young master Jie Yu, are you out of your mind? How can an outsider be allowed to accompany you into the Ancient Palace?
However, Jie Yu remained adamant about his stance. Lord Shuang Yu, I need his help. I hope that you can accede to my request.
That wont do. Even if I permit it, young miss Ling Moer and young master Jie Zhou wont accept it. Unless youre able to convince them, Im afraid that I cant call the shots on this, Lord Shuang Yu said.
Lord Shuang Yu, cant you think of a way to pull it off? Jie Yu asked.
I already told you that its against the rules. If you really want Chu Feng to accompany you, you should personally negotiate with young miss Ling Moer and young master Jie Zhou by yourself. If they are fine with it, Ill turn a blind eye to this matter, Lord Shuang Yu said.
Jie Yu frowned. He dared not to mess with Ling Moer and Jie Zhou.
