Chapter 352: The Arrogant Commentary on Personal Disciples, Unparalleled Assembly (Part 2)
.."
For a moment, Medusa was at a loss for words.
She had always been cold and domineering since childhood.
But now, she suddenly realized that when she was with these people, she...
seemed to find it really hard to be domineering.
Especially that Long Ao Jiao.
She was so damn full of herself!
Ascending to immortality within a century wasn't even rare. Haven't you seen ordinary cultivators? After reaching the Seventh Realm, being able to break through a minor realm within a century is already considered exceptionally talented.
Even those with insufficient talent might get stuck at a certain realm for their entire lives, unable to take another step forward until their lifespan runs out!
Moreover, this is the reality that cultivators face.
After all, those with cultivation talent are already one in a hundred, so where do all these peerless geniuses come from? Ordinary cultivators make up the vast majority.
As for those who normally ascend...
No, no one sets age requirements.
As long as one can ascend, they are already revered by all.
But now, with just one sentence from you, damn... These monstrous talents that might not appear for countless years are suddenly all over the place?!
However, even though Long Ao Jiao was full of herself, Medusa Queen believed her words to an extent.
But her belief didn't mean others would follow suit.
Or rather, their companions, who were well aware of Long Ao Jiao's strength and her penchant for boasting, trusted her words.
But her boasting was limited to herself.
She had never boasted on behalf of others.
Today, however, she had proactively praised everyone present, which was unusual.
Therefore, there was only one possibility.
She was telling the truth.
At least, that's how she saw it, and she deeply believed in her own words.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
While they believed her, those around them found it hilarious.
Since their conversation wasn't private, anyone nearby who was paying attention could clearly hear what they were saying.
At first, they were discussing the past of Three Saints City, and no one interrupted. But when Long Ao Jiao started praising them, claiming that even the weakest among them could ascend, and it wouldn't take many years, they couldn't hold back anymore.
Countless people snickered.
"Pfft!"
"It's true...
"I was wondering why an old bull was flying in the sky, but it turns out someone was boasting."
"You're really good at boasting!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right. You guys are all monstrous talents, even more invincible than the Holy Sons and Saintesses of the Holy Lands. Each one of you is a peerless genius."
"Pfft!"
"Country bumpkins, you've never seen the world."
"But I'm not from the Central State either, so why can't I say such things? Boasting for the sake of boasting, truly shameless and disgusting."
"Ridiculous!"
"Sigh, I really don't know how they dare to say such things in public. Even if they were to speak in private, or set up a soundproof barrier, it would still be better than this."
"It's really... tsk tsk tsk."
"..."
Laughter and ridicule filled the air.
Long Ao Jiao smiled, "Whether it's true or not, we'll find out soon enough."
"You..."
"But you're all participating in the Prodigy Grand Tournament, right?"
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
For a moment, they looked at each other, speechless.
After all, where would so many geniuses come from? Even in a golden era, it's impossible for geniuses to be everywhere, especially in the Central State. Ultimately, geniuses are as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn's horn, appearing only once in countless cultivators.
Especially peerless geniuses, who are incredibly scarce.
For a gathering of this scale, forget about peerless geniuses, you should at least be a renowned figure, right? If you're only 'renowned in one region', like the existence of Lei Zhen of the Shadow Sword, you don't even qualify to attend this gathering!
But how many renowned figures are there in total? Even if most of them are gathered in Three Saints City at this moment, how big is the city?
How many people are there in the vicinity? How could it be that we just happen to have such an existence among us?
These geniuses don't care about face, and they have nothing better to do than wander around all day?
Nonsense!
After a brief silence, their dissatisfaction grew stronger.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"Currently, there are many geniuses in Three Saints City, but most of them are in seclusion, preparing for the tournament. Many more are ordinary cultivators like us who came to spectate and join the festivities."
"Hmph! We may not be geniuses, and we may not be participating, but we have self-awareness. We won't spout nonsense like you, lest we end up bursting our own bubble."
"Hmph, how laughable."
Facing their ridicule, Long Ao Jiao scoffed, showing utmost disdain, "Oh~~~!"
"I thought you were so great, wanting to compete with us at the Prodigy Grand Tournament to show us the gap between you and us, like the difference between immortals and mortals. But now it seems..."
Her expression grew even more disdainful, "Not even a genius, not even qualified to participate, what more can I say about you?"
"Just watch me participate and see for yourselves."
"And you bunch of trash, better keep your eyes wide open at that time."
(Chapter End)
"Watch as I suppress all these so-called Peerless Heaven Tyrants in your hearts!"
"What about the Divine Sons of Holy Lands and Ancient Clans?"
"In my eyes, they are nothing but chickens and dogs, mere pretenders!"
"Move aside!"
Long Ao Jiao's phoenix eyes swept across the crowd, her gaze piercing through everyone. The onlookers' faces turned pale, their hearts trembling.
She took a step forward, and in that instant, everyone felt their hearts quiver. Unconsciously, they parted and made way, creating a path for her.
"Hmph." Long Ao Jiao let out a light laugh.
The sound wasn't loud, but at this moment, to those watching, it was especially grating.
Especially for those who had automatically parted and made way, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
They were filled with regret and shock, wondering why they had given way.
However, when they tried to recall and think it through, they found no answer.
Even they themselves didn't know why they had made way.
It was as if Long Ao Jiao possessed an indescribable charm; with just a glance, their hearts trembled, and they unconsciously stepped aside, allowing her to pass.
They stared intently at Long Ao Jiao and her group as they walked through the crowd.
But...
None of them had the courage to take action.
In fact, they realized that even without the rules of Three Saints City, they wouldn't dare to make a move.
Long Ao Jiao's aura was too powerful; just standing there was enough to make countless cultivators look up to her, and they lacked the courage to challenge her.
"This... this woman..."
Countless cultivators around them gnashed their teeth.
But in the end, they could only mutter, "Damn it, the rules of Three Saints City saved them, otherwise..."
Those nearby heard this and their eyes flickered.
Everyone knew this was just empty talk, but at that moment, no one was willing to expose it.
How embarrassing!
Just some empty threats...
At least it could salvage a bit of their pride.
...
Long Ao Jiao's face lit up with joy.
Apparently, after putting on such a splendid act, she was in a good mood.
Xiao Ling Er, however, remained calm. Compared to her, she was more interested in obtaining comprehensive intelligence: "Su Yan, everything you said before was about the history and past of Three Saints City, but what about now?"
"Now..."
Su Yan took a deep breath, "In short, Three Saints City has been developing positively, at least in terms of strength."
"And they have always adhered to their core philosophy."
"Peace."
"Over the years, they have consistently pursued peace."
"Therefore, within Three Saints City, from ancient times to the present, fighting has been prohibited. Even in the Immortal Martial Continent, where strength reigns supreme, there are numerous, countless peace-loving cultivators."
"As a result, Three Saints City has attracted too many people, including those at the Ninth Level, numbering no less than thirty, and among them are many 'old fellows' with formidable strength."
"Moreover, there are also the heirs of the tribes."
"With their presence and Three Saints City's relentless efforts over the years, the city has long been as solid as gold. Unless a Holy Land-level force comes to attack, almost no single power can overwhelm Three Saints City."
"Furthermore, Three Saints City has connections with numerous Holy Lands, so no one dares to cause trouble."
"Within Three Saints City, private fights are strictly forbidden, and there is zero tolerance for them."
"Once a private fight breaks out, the initiator will be killed without question."
"So..."
"Miss Ao Jiao, you may act freely elsewhere, but here, you must exercise some restraint."
"Hmph!" Long Ao Jiao raised her head proudly, "Does this concern you?"
Su Yan: "..."
Oh, come on.
This is truly speechless.
The crowd couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity.
Soon after, they found accommodation in a relatively remote inn.
The process was quite challenging.
It wasn't because of any difficulties imposed by others, but because the inns were packed with people. Most of the inns were full, and they could only find a room in a more distant one.
"There are so many people."
Long Ao Jiao couldn't help but complain, "How many Heaven's Pride are there?"
"Even the ants are taking up space, how unreasonable!"
No one paid attention to him.
On the second day of their stay, a low-key member of the Armored Guards delivered a jade slip to Xiao Ling Er.
"What's this?"
Xiao Ling Er was well aware of the existence of the Armored Guards.
But since the messenger didn't speak, she didn't ask further. After he handed over the item and turned to leave, she took the jade slip and carefully inserted a wisp of her spiritual sense to examine it.
A moment later, she furrowed her brows.
"This is..."
"Is this the information about the Heaven's Pride that are worth paying attention to at the Prodigy Grand Tournament?"
"I'm afraid the Armored Guards had to pay a significant price to obtain this information in the Central Province."
Xiao Ling Er's expression turned serious, and she immediately gathered all her senior and junior fellow disciples, including Long Ao Jiao.
"This is the intelligence for the Prodigy Grand Tournament sent by Master."
"Everyone, remember it well to increase our chances of victory."
"I know that all of you, senior and junior fellow disciples, possess extraordinary talents, and it's understandable to be proud and overlook others. But remember, this time, we are not only fighting for ourselves but also for our sect."
"Therefore, we must remain humble and give our all."
"Yes, Senior Sister!"
All the direct disciples responded solemnly.
As the saying goes, an older brother is like a father, and an older sister is like a mother.
Although Xiao Ling Er was only the senior sister and not a blood relative, her actions and character deeply resonated with the direct disciples, earning their respect.
When Lin Fan was not around, Xiao Ling Er's words held significant weight.
But Long Ao Jiao scoffed, "Pfft!"
"I thought you called me here for something important, but it's just this?"
"In this world, are there any contemporaries that I, Long Ao Jiao, should take seriously?"
"Nonsense!"
She flicked her sleeves.
Between her words, she clearly held little regard for the people of the world.
However, emmmm...
She didn't leave.
Thankfully, Xiao Ling'er and the others were already used to her eccentricities and paid her no mind, choosing instead to share their intelligence.
"..."
"Hiss!"
A moment later, Wang Teng couldn't help but gasp in surprise, "What a bunch of big shots!"
"The Three Holy Lands of the Central Province: Wuji Palace, Bu Tian Pavilion, and Heaven Severing Sect."
"The Heaven Demon Palace of the Eastern Region, the Nine Dragon Holy Land of the Southern Region, Great Vehicle Buddhism of the Western Region, Primordial One Holy Land of the Northern Region, Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land of the Southwest Region, Cloud Summit Palace of the Northwest Region, Black White Academy of the Northeast Region, and the Great Wilderness Sword Palace of the Southeast Region..."
"Among the Eight Regions and One Province, there are twelve major Holy Lands. Aside from the Forgetfulness Dao of the Central Province, the remaining eleven Holy Lands have all sent their Young Heroes to participate in the tournament."
"Moreover, at least one of them is either a Holy Son or Holy Daughter!"
Upon hearing this, most people's eyes widened in shock, deeply affected by the revelation.
After all, these were the esteemed Holy Lands.
And they had rarely crossed paths with members of these Holy Lands, except for Xiao Long Nu, who was a 'half-bucket of water' due to her identity. Currently, she wasn't considered among the very best.
But if her identity were exposed, no one would doubt her qualification to be the Holy Daughter of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land.
Even if she wasn't strong now, it was only a matter of time.
Late bloomers were never a derogatory term, unless... they failed to achieve anything.
No matter how late one bloomed, as long as they eventually succeeded, it didn't matter.
Who would dare to underestimate the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the other Holy Lands?
Just one of them was enough to make one cautious and require careful treatment, let alone eleven or more!
"Indeed..." Qin Yu sighed, "I knew that the Young Heroes' Tournament would be highly competitive, but I never imagined it would reach such heights."
"Almost all the Holy Lands are taking it so seriously, not to mention the top-tier and super top-tier forces, they wouldn't miss this for the world, right?"
"It's truly a gathering of the world's Young Heroes."
"The Immortal Martial Continent is home to countless races, and it seems like all of them will be present!"
"I'm looking forward to it." Shi Hao's eyes gleamed, "I want to compete with the strongest Young Heroes and improve myself!"
"I'm also excited." Jian Zi was so excited that he couldn't sit still.
However, his excitement was different from the others.
Jian Zi secretly pondered, "Twelve Holy Lands, and eleven of them have sent their Holy Sons and Holy Daughters to participate. There must be countless peerless Young Heroes among them."
"I'm sure I can lose a hundred times without any issues."
"Wonderful!"
"Are you excited?"
In Wang Teng's heart, it was as if a flame was burning.
"Good, regardless of victory or defeat, and regardless of who the opponent is, I'll give it my all."
"At least..."
"Let myself have no regrets."
"I wonder if there will be a similar flower in this world?" With so many Young Heroes gathered...
Ya Ya couldn't help but think of the book "Heaven Obscuring Sun" and the similar flower mentioned by her master.
Would he... appear?
But probably not, right?
After all, the times were different, and she was still far, far away from becoming a true Tyrant.
However, if she were in the same era as Shi Hao, it didn't seem impossible for him to be born in this world.
"But these Holy Sons and Holy Daughters are all from the same era, so it's not impossible for him to be here as well."
"The Armored Guards didn't gather much detailed information, but we need to pay extra attention to the other Young Heroes."
"For example, the Long family of the Central Province."
"Long Yi to Long Jiu are all part of the Long family's sequence, and they are very strong, especially Long Yi. We must not underestimate him."
"Agreed," the direct disciples nodded in acknowledgment.
Upon hearing this, Long Ao Jiao smirked.
Long Yi and the others?
Hmph, they're just defeated opponents. Why should we pay extra attention and not underestimate them?
What's there to underestimate?
"There's also this Qin Feng. Although he's just a Loose Cultivator, he's quite famous in the Central Province. It seems he possesses a Divine Body and exceptional talent."
"I'm more interested in this Xuan Nu. According to the intelligence, she's proficient in the 'Water Dao' and controls various 'Strange Waters'. I wonder what it would be like if she fought with us?" Huo Yun'er blinked in anticipation.
The so-called 'Strange Waters' actually had another name - 'Mystic Water'.
But it sounded strange, so few people used this term.
However, the principle was the same.
'Strange Waters' were equivalent to 'Mystic Water' within water.
The famous 'Weak Water' was the number one 'Mystic Water'!
"This girl is indeed worth keeping an eye on."
Everyone was discussing.
But...
A moment later, Xiao Ling'er was slightly surprised, "Eh?"
"Tang Wu?"
"He actually... has his name on the list?"
"Pfft!" Long Ao Jiao laughed out loud, "Sorry, I couldn't help it. This Tang Wu..."
"I just couldn't hold it in!"
...
On the other side, at the only entrance to the Heavenly Oracle Tower in the Three Saints City, Tang Wu emerged with a list in hand.
"This is the list of the top Young Heroes participating in the Young Heroes' Tournament, right?"
"Coming from the Heavenly Oracle Tower, it's likely accurate."
"Hmph!"
"I want to see who's on the list!"
He focused on the list, but his first glance was quick.
However, after finishing, his brows furrowed instantly, "Pfft!"
"What kind of Heavenly Oracle Tower is this? I'm just a name without any real ability."
A passerby was surprised, "Eh? You... you're quite bold to say such things."
"Hmph!"
"The list doesn't even include the name of the Divine King Tang. If it's just a name without substance, then what is it?" Tang Wu's expression turned colder.
The passerby: "(O_O)???"
