Chapter 231: Chapter 183: Venerable’s Disciple (Part 2)

Viper Mountain Daoist Monarch couldn’t help but speak, his voice trembling:

"To light twenty-nine Beacon Towers in a row... Could this boy be a new Saint Child that the Lord Daoist Venerable has been grooming for the Liaoyuan Division?"

Having personally witnessed the elite disciples of their divisions being slaughtered to the last man, the Nascent Soul Daoist Monarchs had gone from initial fury to a state of numbness, leaving only profound shock.

They had all ascended from the Purple Mansion Realm.

Yet, when they looked inward, they knew that if they were at Qin Xuan’s Realm, they would have possessed nowhere near such combat prowess! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Good stock, truly good stock..."

Over with the Liaoyuan Division, Mu Nanshan rubbed his liquor-reddened nose, his eyes frighteningly bright.

"Decisive in killing, a will of iron, his strength and temperament are both of the highest caliber... Zhu Chong!"

"This disciple is here!"

True Monarch Zhu Chong jolted and quickly responded.

"This boy... where did you find such a treasure? When you get back, immediately grant him the treatment of a core True Inheritance disciple... No, I will act on behalf of Venerable Liaoyuan and personally take him as a Registered Disciple!"

Daoist Monarch Mu’s tone was resolute.

"Yes!" Zhu Chong quickly agreed, his heart filled with wild joy.

...

「Outside the Ancient Wilderness Battlefield, in the boundless void」

Four powerful streams of Divine Sense swept lightly over the Water Mirror, not lingering for long.

"Tsk, it’s certainly lively down there," a slightly lazy voice commented.

The speaker was a young man in a dark Gray Robe, his features so handsome they were almost demonic.

"Saint Child Youhuan, you have a rather unique taste. What’s so interesting about the struggles of the ants below?" a charming, voluptuous woman in a jade-green gauze dress, her tongue forked at the tip, asked with a smile.

The woman was the Saintess of the Viper Division, Viper Charm. She had Guided the [Snake Head] Fate Star, and her Cultivation was at the peak of the Star Mansion Fourth Level.

And the young man in the Gray Robe opposite her was the Saint Child of the Zhuyin Division, You Huan. He was not yet a hundred years old, had Guided the [Celestial Street] Fate Star, and possessed a Star Mansion Fifth Level Cultivation.

"Several interesting characters have appeared on the Ancient Wilderness Battlefield this time. That Star Envoy from the Liaoyuan Division, Liu Mobai, is especially interesting."

You Huan’s scarlet, serpentine eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of extreme interest.

"A bunch of trash, scared out of their wits by a single human. They’ve completely disgraced our Divine Race. They should be executed."

Just then, another voice, as cold and hard as iron, rang out.

This person was burly, covered in crimson Scale Armor, with a pair of complete, fiery wings slowly beating behind his back. His aura was violent.

"Hehe, Brother Yanyao, why get so angry? He’s just a buffoon who will never amount to anything. We can just crush him casually in the second round."

Viper Charm giggled, her gaze alluring as her eyes shifted.

The burly Cultivator was the Saint Child of the Wing Fire Division, Yanyao. He had Guided the [Dongou] Fate Star and was at the Star Mansion Fifth Level.

Yanyao said in a low voice, "I, of course, don’t care. But my father is clearly enraged. This matter concerns the honor of our Divine Race. That boy with the surname Liu must die!"

You Huan, Viper Charm, Yanyao... all three were Registered Disciples of a Venerable Divinity Transformation, as well as the Saint Children of their respective divisions.

In terms of status, they were even higher than a Golden Core True Monarch like Zhu Chong!

"Clan Uncle Viper Mountain is still too impatient. Once you Guide a Fate Star and step into the Star Mansion Realm, the gap between it and the Purple Mansion Realm is a world of difference."

The Saint Child of the Flame Sun Division, Flame Tribulation, who was clad in Red Copper Heavy Armor, glanced indifferently at the Water Mirror before looking away. He shook his head slightly, seemingly completely uninterested in Qin Xuan.

"For people like us, the grand melee of the first round is merely a process for weeding out the ants, with no entertainment value. The real goal should be the clash of geniuses in the second round!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yanyao’s anger subsided.

If the other three were still just Registered Disciples of a Venerable Divinity Transformation, then Flame Tribulation had already become a true initiate.

His status was the highest among the four; he was an official disciple of a Venerable Divinity Transformation. His Cultivation was also the strongest; having Guided the [Zhou Cauldron] Fate Star, he had already reached the Star Mansion Sixth Level Realm!

Viper Charm gave a delicate smile and chimed in:

"Senior Brother Yan is right. No matter how stunning Liu Mobai’s performance is, it’s ultimately just child’s play in the Purple Mansion Realm. Before true geniuses, it’s nothing but a joke."

"If it were us entering the [Ancient Wilderness Battlefield], we could do the same. The true geniuses of every race are in Star City. The few Nascent Soul clan uncles are still underestimating the great power of the Venerable Lord."

Yanyao and Flame Tribulation glanced at each other, both agreeing with Viper Charm’s words.

’So what if they are Nascent Soul Daoist Monarchs? Before a Venerable Divinity Transformation, they are nothing but ants!’

The Saint Children and Saintesses from the other divisions, as well as those few equally deeply hidden Star Mansion Realm geniuses from the Human Race—those were their true opponents.

Only You Huan of the Zhuyin Division stared down at Qin Xuan, his scarlet, serpentine eyes flickering as he laughed to himself.

’A bunch of idiots. They can’t even recognize the [Sun Fate Star], the head of the Seven Luminaries, yet they dare to boast so shamelessly. The second round is going to be quite a show.’

...

After more than three months in the Ancient Wilderness Battlefield, the first round was finally coming to an end.

However, just as Qin Xuan was about to cross a forest of collapsed, giant stone pillars, the Purple Extreme Thunder Eagle on his shoulder suddenly let out an anxious CHIRP.

’Something’s wrong.’

Qin Xuan withdrew the Restriction and his figure flashed.

In a ravaged clearing, two women were leaning against a massive black boulder, struggling to hold on.

One of them was a mature woman who appeared to be in her thirties, with a gorgeous face and flirtatious eyes.

Her figure was full and graceful, her Cultivation was at the Star Mansion First Level, and she wore a somewhat revealing, peach-colored Magical Robe.

Unfortunately, the peach Magical Robe was now torn in several places, revealing the Soft Armor she wore underneath.

The other was much younger, with a slender figure and a beautiful face. Her Cultivation was also at the Star Mansion First Level, but her complexion was an unhealthy pale.

"Wang Qianru... Gan Tang?!" Qin Xuan was taken aback.

These two were old acquaintances from his Holy Sect. He especially missed the mature Wang Qianru; her oral skills were superb, soft and tight, leaving a fond memory.
