The Existence of Tailed Beasts and Jinchūriki

Jia Nan's words immediately made everything clear to Qi Yuan.

First, not every member of the Foreign Races could wield the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Second, all they wielded were ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan, and they themselves suffered extremely powerful side effects. Human kings were not incapable of standing against them.

As for the Secret Realm Spaces containing Sharingan Legacies?

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes. Could all the Inheritances in them belong to the Uchiha Clan?

The Inheritances in each Secret Realm Space were different. Aside from those five Inheritances on the Eighth Layer of the Planetary Space, who knew how many more Mangekyō Sharingan the Uchiha had?

Another possibility also occurred to Qi Yuan. Since those Foreign Races could adapt to the Mangekyō Sharingan to some extent, could there also be a Six Paths of Pain Inheritance?!

A sense of urgency began to well up within him, and he planned to hurry up and earn enhancement points to accelerate his Six Paths Madara Inheritance.

The Rinnegan of the Six Paths of Pain had come from Madara Uchiha, after all. He had better not wait until he ran into them someday.

Then another question suddenly occurred to Qi Yuan. "Lord Guardian Warden, do you know about Tailed Beasts?"

Jia Lan gave Qi Yuan a strange look, then narrowed his eyes and said, "You shouldn't be able to find any of this online. Where did you hear about it?"

Qi Yuan understood. This old man definitely knew about the existence of Tailed Beasts, too.

And judging by his tone, the Tailed Beasts were an extremely well-kept secret.

Jia Nan did not press him further. Instead, he said slowly, "Among the Secret Realm Spaces under human control, there are a few special Inheritances."

"They're called Jinchūriki Inheritances!"

"At first, our ancestors didn't know what a Jinchūriki was, until a powerful ancestor accidentally captured a certain giant beast."

"These giant beasts have no physical bodies and are composed entirely of chakra! Yet they possess the power to destroy heaven and earth!"

"By sealing such a giant beast inside a human body with powerful Sealing Jutsu, one can obtain its power!"

"We call these giant beasts Tailed Beasts, and their vessels Jinchūriki!"

"Only those with a Jinchūriki Inheritance have a chance of sealing a Tailed Beast inside themselves."

Qi Yuan's mind churned, and he continued asking, "Where did these Tailed Beasts come from? What about the other Jinchūriki?"

Jia Nan said gravely, "These Tailed Beasts also originate from a special Secret Realm Space, but no one knows its coordinates. It seems to appear only at specific times."

"Our Human Race currently controls only the One-Tail, while the Foreign Races are said to control at least three types of Tailed Beasts!"

Seeing that Qi Yuan still wanted to ask more, Jia Nan shook his head with a wry smile. "That's all I know. You'll have to ask Lord Yu Wang about the rest yourself in the future."

Qi Yuan's face darkened. With his current status, could he possibly make contact with the lofty Yu Wang?

Jia Nan waved his hand, then asked casually, "Do you have a feud with the Yang Family of Shangcheng City?"

Qi Yuan gave him an odd look. Was Jia Nan going to stop him from taking revenge on the Yang Family?

But Jia Nan said solemnly, "Do you know that the entire Yang Family has moved to Fengzhou?"

Qi Yuan nodded. He had learned this from Qin Gan as well.

"The reason the Yang Family moved to Fengzhou is Yang Tianbao!"

Jia Nan looked into Qi Yuan's eyes, then sighed again. "He is now the disciple of the ruler of Fengzhou, the Wind King, and the successor to the position of Wind King!"

Qi Yuan's brows furrowed again. In his impression, the Yang Family were nothing more than upstarts.

Just a few years ago, they had still been a Cold-Clan family, only becoming a Family Clan because of Yang Tianbao.

But what qualified him to become the successor to the ruler of a province?

Jia Nan gave him the answer.

"Every Wind King has possessed a Jinchūriki Inheritance and been extremely powerful!"

"Yang Tianbao obtained the Jinchūriki Inheritance called Gaara, and over these ten years, he has demonstrated the talent expected of a Jinchūriki."

"The current Wind King is already old and gradually losing his ability to suppress the Tailed Beast inside him, so Yang Tianbao has become his best choice!"

"Gaara?"

Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. So it was him!

"From now on, the Yang Family will stay in Fengzhou, far away from us."

"Don't worry. You won't have any dealings with them in the future, either."

"If the Yang Family tries to cause trouble for you, I'll ask Lord Yu Wang to intervene."

Jia Nan was still somewhat worried that Qi Yuan would act rashly.

After all, some of this brat's actions over the past few days had already left him on edge.

He was bold and meticulous, and his strength grew very quickly.

But so what if his strength grew quickly? That was the ruler of a province. He should count himself lucky if they did not come looking for trouble with him.

Meanwhile, Fifth Town grew lively.

Representatives from nine elite universities, including Yudu University, Mingcheng University, and Mowu University, had arrived in town.

Yu Province had nine elite universities in total. These universities not only shouldered the heavy responsibility of cultivating talent, but also guarded many of Yu Province's Secret Realm Spaces.

It could be said that these nine elite universities played a considerable role in keeping Yu Province so stable.

That was why they were also extremely strict in selecting talent.

This was especially true of early admissions. Students admitted to the nine universities through early admissions would ultimately reach at least the Grandmaster realm!

At this moment, they had all received the score sheets for Fifth Town's Martial Trial rankings!

The first name that caught their eyes was Qi Yuan!

"He killed this many Demon Beasts? And even obtained a level-four Chakra Crystal?"

The representatives of the various elite universities were utterly stunned.

"What kind of genius is this? Was he raised by some King Family Clan?"

"What did he obtain in the Planetary Space? A King's Legacy? At the very least, it should be a high-tier Kekkei Genkai or the Inheritance of a level-six expert!"

Yet when they saw the Sharingan listed in Qi Yuan's information, the university representatives could not help rubbing their eyes.

"How could it be the Sharingan?"

They all found it inconceivable.

Then they saw that Qi Yuan had trained in the Eight Gates of Limitless.

"So he relied on the Eight Gates of Limitless to delay the Sharingan's side effects!"

"But the Sharingan's curse grows stronger over time. Sooner or later, it'll exceed what his body can withstand and cause rapid pathological changes!"

"Judging by his record, he should have reached the fourth gate of the Eight Gates of Limitless. He certainly is talented for his age, but unfortunately..."

The Eight Gates of Limitless was extremely difficult to train in. It was not as though no one had tried before.

But even among exceptional geniuses, most only reached the fourth or fifth gate.

And at that level, the Eight Gates of Limitless could suppress the Sharingan for only a year or two at most.

"He had the talent to train in the Eight Gates of Limitless, yet chose the Sharingan. Fate really does toy with people."

In their view, even without obtaining an Inheritance from the Inheritance Tower, Qi Yuan could have earned a place among geniuses through his talent for the Eight Gates of Limitless alone.

Moreover, he had ranked first in Fifth Town's Martial Trial and was fully qualified to enter their elite universities.

Unfortunately, no matter how good his current results were, they could not hide the fact that he had obtained the Sharingan.

"Then we can't admit this student."

"Perhaps he can get into our university through the regular college entrance examination, but we can't approve him for early admission!"
