Chapter 26: Unprecedented Terrifying Talent:
"This…"
"How is this possible?"
"Isn't he... at the 9th stage Spirit Condensing Realm? How can he be this strong?"
Li Chan'er stood frozen in place, her beautiful face filled with disbelief.
The sheer power of Lin Ang's previous spear strike had left Li Chan'er trembling with fear. Especially Lin Ang's eyes—they were calm and indifferent, looking at her as if she were an ant.
What made Li Chan'er despair even more was realising that Lin Ang was actually a swordsman.
A simple tree branch in his hand was comparable to a top-tier spiritual weapon. From this alone, Li Chan'er knew the gap between them was as vast as the sky.
Moreover, when Lin Ang's Supreme Bone released its pressure, Li Chan'er was unable to move.
She stood there, biting her lip, tightly gripping her long spear. Her beautiful face showed a mixture of emotions: reluctance, anger, shame, and finally, resignation. She had to admit defeat.
"So this is what a true genius is like." She thought, recalling Lin Ang's calm and profound demeanour.
It was completely different from how her brother, Lu Ming, had described him. She could feel that Lin Ang wasn’t the type to bully or commit evil deeds. Moreover, Lin Ang had not made things difficult for her just now.
Could it be that Lu Ming was mistaken? Or did he deliberately lie to her to sow discord among the chief disciples?
"You silly girl, do you now realise there is always someone better than you?"
At this moment, a deep ancient voice filled with divine power, echoed through the air above Cangxuan Peak.
Disciples and elders within a hundred-mile radius immediately bowed and greeted the arrival of the Supreme Elder.
"Welcome, Supreme Elder."
"Welcome, Supreme Elder."
Li Chan'er lowered her head in shame, tightly gripping her spear. She spoke softly, "Master, it was my recklessness…"
Ying Xuanzi's calm voice echoed again, "Return to Fallen Moon Peak and enter closed-door cultivation. Do not come out until you reach the 2nd stage Core Formation Realm."
After everyone departed, several ethereal voices converged in the Supreme Hall, communicating through divine thoughts.
"Wow, this Lin Ang is truly remarkable."
"It seems his talent surpasses even that of Ye Cangxue."
"He's only at the 9th stage Spirit Condensing Realm. Imagine his brilliance once he reaches higher realms."
"Our Azure Cloud Sect has truly gained a dragon this time!"
"Ye Cangxue was taken early by a Holy Land elder. Even if she attains a high position in the future, she will no longer be connected to our Azure Cloud Sect. But this Lin Ang might have the qualifications to glimpse the Holy Land's position!"
If a sect could cultivate a disciple to become a Holy Land disciple, the sect would receive limitless rewards from the Holy Land. These rewards could elevate a small kingdom to a medium or even a high kingdom.
"If not for the ancestor's instructions to let him grow freely, I would want to personally mentor such a prodigy."
As the voice faded, another ethereal figure descended in the Supreme Hall—a middle-aged man with long hair in white robes and a carefree demeanour. This was the Azure Cloud Sect's Master.
"We greet the Sect Master."
Seeing the Sect Master's divine presence, the six Supreme Elders hurriedly stood up and bowed in unison.
The Sect Master's true body was far away, travelling to seek a spiritual medicine to extend the ancestor's life. His divine consciousness, bridging the vast distance, could not maintain for long.
"I am currently outside the Dao Domain, seeking spiritual medicine for the ancestors. My divine thought cannot last long. I have urgent matters to discuss."
The Supreme Elders exchanged glances and nodded, bowing respectfully, "We are listening attentively."
The Sect Master's voice was calm yet penetrating, "Half a year ago, there was a disturbance in the Extreme Northern IceLand. Various sects sent thousands of disciples, but none returned. It seems the time was not yet right."
"It is a secret realm emerging. It will open in two months."
"Major kingdoms and sects like the Great Beginning Dynasty, the Kunlun Dynasty, the White Moon Sect, the Heavenly Vault Sect, the Zhao Family and the Chen Family of the lineage, will all send their best young talents or heirs. This gathering will include all the top talents from the Northern Realm of the Kunxu Empire."
"Each kingdom, sect, and family has agreed to only send young members to compete for opportunities and experience."
"Our Azure Cloud Sect's younger generation is certainly not inferior to others."
As the Sect Master's voice faded, his divine consciousness gradually dissipated.
The Supreme Elders bowed in unison, "Farewell, Sect Master."
"Farewell, Sect Master."
