"Lingrui!?"
The moment Nie Wuchen saw the face of the manifested figure, he recognized his "son-in-law."
In particular, Yang Lingrui's will of the Killing Dao was unique in this world. Nie Wuchen could identify him at a glance.
"Lingrui? Fellow Daoist Nie, do you mean Yang Lingrui, the Yang Clan Prodigy who shares a clan with the Vaulting Dragon Lord—the Azure Wind Mandate Official?"
"That's right. My fine son-in-law, who inherited Azure Waves' Killing Dao fortune!"
Nie Wuchen could not keep a trace of pride from his face as he spoke.
Judging by the aura emanating from the manifested figure, Yang Lingrui had now attained the True Intent Realm. He had left behind that awkward status of a prodigy who had yet to truly make his mark.
In the eyes of Path Seeking Realm cultivators, the dazzling talents on the Heavenly Talent Ranking already counted among the dragons and phoenixes of this world.
But to a peak cultivator like Nie Wuchen, who had truly made his name, reaching the Heavenly Talent Ranking was merely the prologue to entering the Path Enlightenment Realm.
Of the Mystic Insight Venerables alive in Azure Waves today, which one had not borne a resounding title as a prodigy in youth?
As Ye Chenfeng and Yang Yuanhong had said before, one's place on the Heavenly Talent Ranking meant little. What mattered was whether one could survive to the end and cross that great threshold of enlightenment.
Without entering the True Intent Realm, no prodigy, however remarkable, could contend with a Path Enlightenment Realm cultivator who commanded spatial Daoist Magic.
Yang Yuanhong's encounter with the Blood Sun Venerable God in the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons made that clear.
Even with powerful treasures and other life-saving trump cards, meeting a True Intent Cultivator left one no choice
