Chapter 240: Chapter 231: World-renowned

"Is it him?"

"The youth who suppressed the Divine Body and Little Peng King Zhou Tong?"

"Indeed, he looks so young, doesn’t even look twenty yet. Is he really that powerful?"

"Yes, it’s him! That day, while I was exploring for treasures beneath the ground, I was drawn towards the battle’s fluctuations. This lad was truly formidable. The experts from the ancient martial families and hidden sects were all repelled by his fist!"

"Judging by his aura, he seems to just be at the Returning Ruins Realm in cultivation, not even having reached the Primordial Spirit Realm. Yet he could overpower a powerhouse in the Creation Realm, as well as the Divine Body and Little Peng King. This youth must possess a peerless physique!"

"Stop right there!"

Zhou Tong shouted sternly, and with the speed of a Creation Realm expert, he arrived behind the phoenix in a blink.

Chirp!

The phoenix cried out, its beak like a sickle, slightly opening. The next moment, a fierce blaze surged forth!

"What?" Zhou Tong’s face changed, his body suddenly stopping mid-air, then he pushed down with a palm. In an instant, the sky trembled with a great force. This palm could crush a mountain.

Hand Force surged like a tidal wave, dispersing the raging flames in the blink of an eye.

Chirp!

But at this moment, the fiery wings of the phoenix were already spread wide. With a fierce flap, it turned into a Divine Rainbow and soared away.

Swish, swish, swish!

The powerhouses from the ancient martial families and hidden sects swiftly flew after it, trying to catch up and intercept, but the speed of the phoenix was beyond their expectations.

"This is an offspring of the Ancient Divine Phoenix, capable of traveling tens of thousands of miles in a day, even Creation Realm powerhouses struggle to catch up. How does this lad have such a mount?!" Zhou Tong’s face was dark, his expression filled with disdain, but he did not slow down and pursued relentlessly.

"Phew!"

On the back of the phoenix, seeing those Creation Realm powerhouses far behind, Mo Wangchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Eventually, the experts from the hidden sects and ancient martial families gave up, unable to keep up with the speed of the phoenix.

...

Two days later, after making sure he was safe, Mo Wangchen finally retracted the phoenix. Now, he had arrived in a city within the Heavenly Martial Domain, which was vast, far surpassing Yun Country’s Capital in size by several times. The city was bustling, with a constant stream of people, each one radiating a powerful aura, with many Primordial Spirit Realm experts among them.

"The emergence of the Kunpeng earlier has now made the Heavenly Martial Domain turbulent, attracting figures from all factions, creating quite a spectacle."

"Indeed, the Kunpeng is an Ancient Divine Beast, tearing through the land when it appeared, its presence shook the world, and now the entire Beiming Land is aware. Not long ago, those hidden sects and ancient martial families acted together, allowing people to enter the fissure below and explore, with many acquiring Holy Weapons left from ancient times."

"Have you heard? The Divine Body Wu Lingfeng and Little Peng King Zhou Tong, the leaders of the younger generation in our Beiming Land, were suppressed by an unknown Controlling Phoenix youth."

"How is that possible? Was the Divine Body really suppressed by someone?"

"The rumors suggest that beneath that crack lies some sort of ancient, forbidden curse, which strips all cultivators of their powers upon entry. Even so, the might of the Divine Body remained formidable. That day, the unknown youth emerged out of nowhere and clashed with the Divine Body, suppressing him."

"I’ve heard of this too. It wasn’t just the Divine Body. Little Peng King Zhou Tong, who has inherited the Ancient Kunpeng Bloodline, and Lin Family Saintess Lin Jing, wearing the saintly garb, both encountered that youth and were easily defeated!"

...

"I didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly..."

Mo Wangchen, mingling with the crowd, overheard the discussions and couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly. Perhaps right now, strong figures from the major hidden sects and ancient martial families were searching the world for him.

Fortunately, they did not know his name. As long as he was careful, they shouldn’t be able to find him.

As he walked through the city, he also learned much news.

"Right, when the Kunpeng emerged, the event was grand. Does anyone know where it went?"

"I heard it’s been slain!"

"What? The Kunpeng has been killed? Who was the lofty figure who took it down?"

The crowd was astonished. As one of the Ancient Divine Beasts, the Kunpeng’s bloodline remains powerful even to this day. Unless it was a worldly-strong figure, who else could have killed it?

"Yaochi Saint Venerable!" said someone who knew of the news.

Everyone’s expression changed again, "Yaochi Immortal Palace’s Palace Master, Yaochi Saint Venerable?!"

"It’s said that the Yaochi Saint Venerable has lived for thousands of years, with inscrutable cultivation. I didn’t expect her to make an appearance this time!"

"The Yaochi Immortal Palace is a great power that has been handed down since ancient times, with strong foundations. However, they only recruit female disciples. The last time they were active was said to be a hundred thousand years ago. Who knew they’d also stir up the waters in these troubled times..."

"A hundred thousand years ago... That was during Divine King Ling Changkong’s era, right? There are rumors of an ambiguous relationship between Ling Changkong and the Yaochi Saintess from a hundred thousand years ago. After Ling Changkong disappeared, the whereabouts of the Yaochi Saintess also became unknown. Since then, there has been no other Saintess from the Yaochi Immortal Palace. I wonder if this time, a Saintess will emerge."

"Every Yaochi Saintess is stunningly beautiful and the admiration of all ages. Such figures, if they appear, can certainly contend with the Wu Family Divine Body!"

"This great era has truly arrived. After a separation of a hundred thousand years, I wonder if our Beiming Land can once again produce legendary figures like those Great Emperors!"

"Heh heh! There are already four names on the Great Emperor list now. I wonder if more can be added."

"The Great Emperor list? What is that?" a man curiously asked.

The speaker was an old man with white hair and the cultivation of the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. He smiled and said, "With each great era comes a Great Emperor list. Those who make it onto the list are all candidates qualified to become a Great Emperor in this era!"

"Among them, Divine Body Wu Lingfeng, Little Peng King Zhou Tong, Lin Family Saintess Lin Jing, and the Daluo Heaven Sect’s Saint Heir – these four have already made the list. If the Yaochi Immortal Palace also has a Saintess emerge, she is bound to make the list. This generation, having five Great Emperor candidates, is unprecedented in the long history of Beiming Land."

"Five Great Emperor candidates! This is indeed a true great era. Three hundred thousand years ago, during the time of True Martial Emperor, there were only two candidates. And though there were three a hundred thousand years ago, two of them were ultimately overshadowed by Ling Changkong’s brilliance and were buried in the sands of history."

"It’s said that the ancient martial Qiu Family has also used an Ancient Forbidden Technique to draw out a drop of essence blood from their first ancestor to bestow upon the Qiu Family Saint Child. With the bloodline of the first ancestor, the Qiu Family Saint Child will surely make it onto the list!"

"Right!" Suddenly someone remembered something, "That youth who suppressed the Divine Body and others under the crack where the Kunpeng emerged, why hasn’t he made it onto the Great Emperor list?"

"His name is not known at all, and it’s said that his cultivation is only at the level of the Returning Ruins Realm. He hasn’t even stepped into the Primordial Spirit Realm, so it’s difficult to say whether he can grow further. Moreover, currently, various hidden sects and ancient martial families are searching the world for him..."

...

Among the discussions of the people, Mo Wangchen bitterly smiled. He hadn’t expected to cause such a huge commotion. Fortunately, no one knew his name, or else wouldn’t he be famous throughout the world?
