Chapter 92: Star Abyss Divination - Unique Physique! Influential Patron!
Chapter 92: Star Abyss Divination - Unique Physique! Influential Patron!
Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, at the border between two great clans.
The many elders of the Little Immortal Sect were closely monitoring the ongoing tests.
Although they knew the chances were slim, there was always the hope that some prodigies might possess hidden physiques capable of surpassing the Heavenly Phoenix lineage.
If that were the case, the Little Immortal Sect would save face today.
However, it was clear that the quality of the prodigies present today was mostly known to them, and the test results matched their predictions.
Now, watching the Little Phoenix King, a demonic race prodigy, mock the human race prodigies from a position of superiority, their faces were grim.
"Ha ha ha, Su Nan, is this the sect you built with your own hands?"
Looking at the silent Su Nan, the Great Phoenix King's smile was icy.
"Is this all it is? Not even a single prodigy capable of receiving the blessing of the ancient era."
The Great Phoenix King's words were insincere.
Was the Little Immortal Sect weak?
No! It was very strong!
Those prodigies who had reached the Seventh or Eighth Stage of the Ruler Realm might seem ordinary, but that was because they were being compared to top-tier prodigies, making them less noticeable.
Although there was no absolute peak talent, the potential of this group would be a formidable force in the future.
But the Great Phoenix King didn't care about that.
As long as no one could surpass the Little Phoenix King today, he could say whatever he wanted, and the Little Immortal Sect and Su Nan would have to listen.
"If you lack people, just say so. We have plenty of demonic race prodigies, ha ha ha ha!"
The Great Phoenix King laughed heartily.
For so many years, ever since he first met Su Nan as a young man, he had never won.
Now, watching Su Nan be humiliated, it was the happiest moment of his life in centuries.
"Lord of the Domain!"
Hearing the Great Phoenix King's constant mockery, the many elders of the Little Immortal Sect glared with cold eyes.
As the Lord of the Domain, Su Nan's reputation was tied to the prosperity of the Southern Domain. If their leader's face was damaged, they couldn't just sit idly by.
"Calm down."
Su Nan glanced at the Great Phoenix King and then transmitted his voice to the others.
"We're getting paid to take the abuse, right? It's expected."
"This Little Phoenix Bird has been holding in his frustration for years. Let him vent a bit; otherwise, he might go crazy and start a war."
"Besides,"
Su Nan paused and sighed, "that bastard is very cautious. He hasn't paid yet."
The elders were stunned for a moment, then they all shook their heads, laughing and crying at the same time.
They had wondered why the usually domineering Lord of the Domain, who was quick to start wars, was so accommodating today.
It was because the money hadn't been received yet.
But it made sense. Establishing the Little Immortal Sect had cost the Lord of the Domain a great deal of resources.
"Only two of the top-tier prodigies are left. Let's get it over with, sigh."
Hearing the Great Phoenix King and the demonic race's mockery, it was not a pleasant experience.
The elders present had little hope left.
After all, they didn't recognize the remaining two, so the chances were slim.
It would be better to end it quickly and secure the resources.
However, at this moment.
A Great Saint Peak Master of the Little Immortal Sect, seeing Xuan Qingzi step onto the platform, was slightly taken aback and muttered in confusion,
"Seems familiar... where have I seen him before?"
...
On the platform.
Xuan Qingzi stepped forward, seemingly unaffected by the oppressive atmosphere around him, his expression as calm and composed as ever.
The crowd began to murmur.
"Who is this guy? I haven't heard of him in the Southern Domain. How can he be so confident, claiming to compete for the top ten?"
"He must be from another domain. In the first round, he seemed to be one of the last to arrive."
"Pfft, that's because he got into a fight. His speed isn't slow, but his combat strength seems to be lacking. He looked quite ragged."
"So, he doesn't stand a chance? With that level of combat strength, how can he compete for the top ten?"
The crowd's faces were gloomy.
At this point, only two of the top-tier prodigies were left.
If they can't achieve a good ranking, these prodigies will truly be overshadowed by a demonic race.
At this moment, Su Changqing looked curiously at Daoist Qingxuan.
He always felt that this Daoist was a bit too confident.
That calm and composed attitude could be seen as a profound detachment from the world, but it could also be interpreted as arrogant pride.
"Top ten? I wonder if I can even make it into the top hundred on the Prodigy List."
Su Changqing muttered to himself, gazing at the peak of the Ancient Stone Carving, his eyes filled with hope.
Although he knew it was unlikely, he still harbored a glimmer of hope.
...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Daoist Qingxuan approached the Ancient Stone Carving and looked up at the top of the stone pillar.
"It might be a bit difficult without putting my life on the line."
Daoist Qingxuan whispered, his hand slowly touching the stone pillar.
Infinite mysterious patterns glowed, enveloping Daoist Qingxuan, then returned to the stone carving.
A familiar scene unfolded, with dazzling light bursting forth.
But this time, the light was so intense that it filled the entire sky and earth!
A massive Eight Trigram Dao Diagram spread wildly from beneath Daoist Qingxuan's feet.
Countless stars in the sky flickered, harmonizing with the Dao Diagram below, emitting endless brilliant light!
Three coin-like objects, resembling star wheels, fell from the sky, landing in the center of the Eight Trigram Dao Diagram with a crisp sound.
The next moment—
Boom!
Countless mysterious Dao patterns exploded, and the stars shone brilliantly, crisscrossing the sky. The measurement light on the Ancient Stone Carving began to soar!
"Anomaly! Another anomaly has appeared!"
"Damn! He's already on the Prodigy List, and the speed is incredible!"
"He's surpassed Lin Yuan! This speed is going to get him into the top twenty!"
"Passed, passed! He's at number seventeen!"
Seeing the grand anomaly, everyone in the crowd erupted in excitement.
Especially as they watched the measurement light soar uncontrollably, everyone exclaimed in amazement, their faces filled with excitement.
Even Little Peng King looked surprised, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness.
The anomalies continued to manifest, and the measurement light kept advancing, finally stopping at the very top of the eleventh position.
Just a little more, and he could enter the top ten and receive the Ancient Blessing.
In most cases, once the measurement light stopped, it meant the end, and the light would fade instantly.
But at this moment, the Ancient Stone Carving seemed to be waiting for something, and the light did not dissipate.
"Indeed, it's still a bit short."
Daoist Qingxuan's fingers brushed his brow, as if pondering something.
After a moment, he glanced at Su Changqing in the distance, shook his head, and smiled.
"Well, since he's here to back me up, this demonic race won't dare to be too presumptuous."
"Simply for the Ancient Blessing, it's not worth risking my life."
Daoist Qingxuan's fingers, which had been pressed to his brow, fell, and the anomalies in the sky slowly dissipated, leaving a few brilliant Dao patterns in the sky.
【Star Abyss Destiny Divination · Variant】
【Daoist Qingxuan】
The newly carved Dao patterns replaced the name in the eleventh position on the Prodigy List.
A beam of light emerged from the stone pillar and entered Daoist Qingxuan's mind.
Ding.
A crisp sound echoed in his consciousness, and Daoist Qingxuan focused his attention.
There were seven silver-white coins, as brilliant as stars.
"Seven Celestial Stars!"
Daoist Qingxuan's calm expression showed a hint of surprise. "What a treasure!"
For most people, the Seven Celestial Stars were useless.
But for cultivators skilled in divination and prediction, they were supreme treasures!
Daoist Qingxuan felt a bit fortunate. If Su Changqing hadn't been there today, he might have risked his life to suppress Little Peng King.
Then, the Ancient Blessing he might have received could have been even more precious, but for him, nothing was more important than the Seven Celestial Stars!
"Is this the influence of a benefactor?"
Feeling greatly pleased, Daoist Qingxuan looked at Su Changqing and smiled to himself.
"Coming to the Southern Region was the right decision."
