Haotian City's Number One Prodigy

Three days later, Purple Frost Mountain Range.

This mountain range stretched for over a thousand miles, with peaks over two to three thousand meters covered in frost.

It was named Purple Frost because of the purple trees that grew there, making the frost appear purple.

Normally, there was little human activity, but these past few days had been unusually lively, with many cultivators from outside the region arriving.

The reason, naturally, was that this was the location where the Giant Spirit Secret Realm would open.

Whoosh!

A sharp sword light descended from the sky, and a white-robed youth with an extraordinary bearing landed gracefully.

However, his gaze was not fixed ahead but flickered towards the maiden beside him, who had made no sound.

"Master, you can't go in anyway, there was no need for you to come all this way!"

Dongfang Xuetong extended her slender, fair right index finger and lightly tapped Xiao Yao's forehead, saying with annoyance, "Wait here, I'll feel more at ease!"

Xiao Yao's heart sank, and he fell silent.

He had spoken that way earlier because he didn't want to affect his Master's cultivation.

But now, it seemed that his Master not coming here would instead affect her cultivation.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A rapid and clear sound pierced the sky, sounding like speeding cars.

Upon closer inspection, a black-robed youth was seen, a smirk on his lips and his face filled with pride, looking quite spirited.

Xiao Yao shrugged at this, not paying further attention to the fast-flying cultivator.

Gazing into the distance, with the aid of his Heavenly Spirit Eyes, he actually spotted Lin Shan not far away.

This guy is of the same generation as me, and he's the Young Clan Leader of the Lin Family.

Logically speaking, to avoid an early demise, he shouldn't be participating in this Giant Spirit Secret Realm. Could this Giant Spirit Secret Realm hold some other information?

Without hesitation, Xiao Yao immediately sent a Spiritual Sense transmission to the First Elder, Xiao Wei.

"Is there anything different about this Giant Spirit Secret Realm compared to previous ones?"

Xiao Wei's voice quickly emerged, "Reporting to Master, compared to the previous two Giant Spirit Secret Realms, this one will feature the legendary Immortal Palace. It is said that those who ascend to the Immortal Palace can obtain its inheritance."

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Xiao Yao questioned sternly.

Xiao Wei quickly explained, "Master, I intended to tell you, but you never gave me the opportunity."

"Don't you know how to create an opportunity when there isn't one?" Xiao Yao roared coldly, though he was inwardly delighted.

No wonder so many people liked being bosses in his past life?

Yelling at subordinates was truly satisfying!

His tone then shifted, and Xiao Yao continued to ask, "Besides this, is there anything else you haven't told me?"

"Reporting to Master, according to internal information I've received, to ascend to the Immortal Palace, one must possess extremely powerful cultivation talent and aptitude. Therefore, all the Eight Great Families of Xuanzhou City have brought out their younger generation this time." Xiao Wei said.

No wonder Lin Shan would come to the Giant Spirit Secret Realm this time!

After understanding the whole story, Xiao Yao said, "You're dismissed! Go do whatever you need to do."

Xiao Wei let out a huge sigh of relief, only to realize he was drenched in cold sweat as soon as the conversation ended.

It couldn't be blamed for his terror, as Xiao Yao held the power of life and death over him; a single displeasure could lead to his beheading.

At the same time, Xiao Yao noticed the black-robed youth he had seen earlier standing before the Lin Family members.

"My name is Xi Qing, and I am currently the foremost prodigy of the Sea Opening Realm in Haotian City. I've heard much about the foremost prodigy of the Sea Opening Realm in Xuanzhou City, Lin Zhuo of the Lin Family, and I've come to challenge him!"

Lin Zhuo, this name was not unfamiliar to Xiao Yao at all.

He had heard this name since the day he was born.

He possessed the Saint tier bloodline, the Heavenly Martial Body. While not as powerful as Ye Feng's Primordial Sacred Body from before, it was still a very potent Saint tier bloodline.

Furthermore, in Lin Zhuo's generation, there hadn't been any existence as heaven-defying as Ye Feng.

Therefore, since he began cultivating, no peer in the vast expanse of Xuanzhou City, nor even cultivators of the same realm, could match him.

Now, he had even obtained the title of the foremost prodigy of the Sea Opening Realm in Xuanzhou City.

Xiao Yao knew this was merely a title, but he couldn't deny the honor it carried.

However, compared to his title as a Direct Disciple of a Great Emperor, the foremost prodigy of the Sea Opening Realm in Xuanzhou City truly lacked prestige.

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Every step taken by a young man with sword-like eyebrows, clad in purple brocade robes, caused the ground to tremble.

An unparalleled might emanated from him, his gaze piercing as he fixed on Xi Qing and said, "The Giant Spirit Secret Realm is about to open. If you and I get injured, won't we just be letting others reap the benefits?"

"You can't injure me!" Xi Qing replied with a face full of confident smiles.

Lin Zhuo understood that Xi Qing had come specifically to fight him, and if he refused, Xi Qing would continue to pester him.

Confident in his own strength, Lin Zhuo no longer tried to persuade. He immediately took a fighting stance and said, "Then let's begin!"

Whoosh!

Xi Qing vanished from Lin Zhuo's sight.

Lin Zhuo scanned his surroundings rapidly but found he couldn't see the other party's figure no matter how hard he looked.

How is this possible? Is his speed really this fast?

Just as he finished thinking, Xi Qing had already appeared before Lin Zhuo. Reacting, Lin Zhuo immediately unleashed the Sea Splitting Tier spell, Exploding Tiger Fist!

Roar!

A tiger's roar sounded, but before it could hit Xi Qing, Lin Zhuo himself was sent flying backward, crashing through ten towering trees before stopping.

Looking at Lin Zhuo again, his aura was gone, he was spitting blood, his eyes were sunken, and his face was ashen, looking as if he were dead.

"Brother Lin Zhuo lost?" Lin Shan, the Young Clan Leader of the Lin Family, stared blankly.

Fortunately, the current Clan Leader of the Lin Family reacted quickly. He appeared before Lin Zhuo and immediately fed him a Dao Beginning Tier healing pill.

After seeing Lin Zhuo's aura recover slightly, he turned to Xi Qing and angrily asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"You really can't take a hit. I thought the number one prodigy of the Sea Opening Realm in Xuanzhou City was very strong! I didn't expect him to be so trash!" Xi Qing taunted directly, acting completely unafraid of retaliation from the Lin Family Clan Leader.

The Lin Family Clan Leader's face flushed with anger. He instantly appeared before Xi Qing. Just as he was about to raise his clenched right fist, he felt a terrifying killing intent.

At this moment, an old man wearing a purple-gold cape appeared. He smiled thinly and warned, "Bullying the young, this old man cannot stand by and watch."

"Master, this number one prodigy of the Sea Opening Realm in Xuanzhou City isn't much either!" Xi Qing complained grumpily.

The old man chuckled lightly and said, "It seems you've fallen on hard times these past few years! The number one prodigy of the Sea Opening Realm in Xuanzhou City from my generation was truly strong."

"May I ask who the senior you just mentioned was?" the current Lin Family Clan Leader asked curiously.

The old man did not hide anything and said, "Xiao Ran!"

"It's him!" The current Lin Family Clan Leader's eyes widened.

For the past hundred years, Xiao Ran, the current Clan Leader of the Xiao Family, had been an unparalleled prodigy in Xuanzhou City, and even in the Southern Wilderness Domain.

Xiao Yao's mouth twitched slightly, feeling extremely speechless.

To be spectating a drama that involved his own father was truly absurd!

However, his father was young and strong, and dashing nine years ago.

This old man, on the other hand, looked like he was about to be put in a coffin. Were they really from the same generation?

"This old man heard that Xiao Ran has a son, and he should also be very strong. Do you know where he is?"

In response to the old man's question, Lin Zhuo replied, "I don't know, but his son only started cultivating a month ago, so he's definitely no match for your disciple."

[Beep! Host, if not now, then when?]

"Go out and show off?" Xiao Yao grumbled.

[Beep! Host, showing off is like the wind, always accompanying me. As a transmigrator with a System, how can you forget this ancestral teaching?]

"I'm not interested in showing off."

Actually, Xiao Yao wasn't entirely uninterested. It was just that exposing his strength too early would easily make him a target.

[Beep! The System senses the Host's low willingness to show off, therefore, a System mission is issued: Defeat Xi Qing. Upon completion, you will receive the Phenomenon: Primordial Chaos Green Lotus!]
