After the prodigies of the Beidou Five Regions gathered in the Central Plains, many members of the older generation came to realize one thing: the era in which they pointed at the world and held sway over the cultivation world was about to pass.
A new era had already arrived.
While most figures of the older generation would only serve as stepping stones, the new era had no ship capable of carrying them.
It was not only top-tier prodigies such as the Sacred Physique and the Southern Demon. Those with slightly lesser, or even several ranks lesser, talent also possessed outstanding strength.
This time, Qishi Mansion had recruited several hundred people, and quite a few geniuses possessed the ability to fight above their realms.
Some wielded the Sun Seal in one hand and the Moon Seal in the other, defeating a Dragon Transformation Ninth Dragon Transformation elder of Qishi Mansion in a single strike.
Some played an immortal melody and swept aside attacks from all directions.
