Chapter 172: Gongsun Yao

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the world of cultivators, anyone under the age of 50 was considered young.

After all, the stronger a cultivator was, the longer their lifespan would be.

Although many core formation realm experts looked to only be around 30-40 years old on the surface, their actual age might have already reached around 70 years of age.

In particular, unity realm experts possessed extremely long lifespans, and the speed at which they aged was extremely slow.

Not only that, the appearance of a unity realm expert would be maintained at the moment they broke through, and it would often last for several hundred years.

Therefore, cultivators below the age of 50 could be considered young in the cultivation world.

The so-called Nanzhou Region Genius Rankings were the benchmark for the younger generation geniuses in the Nanzhou Region. Any cultivator who managed to enter the rankings was considered a true genius.

It was the same for the Tower of Heaven. Clearly, whoever had set up this tower had also wanted to select true geniuses through their own trials.

Boom!

Boom!

At this moment, two huge spatial fluctuations rippled out.

Moments later, everyone suddenly saw the two sides of the Tower of Heaven erupt with brilliant light. Then, two enormous scrolls that hung in the sky slowly unfurled.

Immediately, everyone looked up.

It turned out that these two scrolls represented two lists.

One was the combat power list and the other was the qualification list!

The rankings on these lists went up to 100,000.

These 100,000 ranks seemed to be a lot, but one must remember that they included the countless cultivators present here in the War God Hall.

The Tower of Heaven and the Moon Demon mystic realm had appeared together. No one knew exactly when though.

After all, countless years ago, this mystic realm had appeared in other parts of the world. Hence, no one could determine the exact time when the Moon Demon mystic realm and Tower of Heaven came to be. It could be tens of thousands of years, or it could be hundreds of thousands of years.

Still, countless cultivators had entered the Tower of Heaven during that period, and it was widely known just how difficult it was to get into the rankings.

Moreover, any cultivator who could enter the rankings would obtain bountiful rewards from the Tower of Heaven.

At the same time, in another white space.

Ye Xuan raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the two scrolls indifferently.

The names on the list were densely packed, but he did not recognize them at all.

"So many people have entered the list! The two lists add up to 200,000 places!"

"Hehe! This ranking list is so long. It seems that I still have a chance to get on the list!"

"I also want to get on the list. It is said that any cultivator who can get on the list will receive bountiful rewards!"

"And the higher the rank we obtain, the more generous the rewards!"

When the crowd saw the lists that appeared in the sky, they immediately started a heated discussion. freёwebnovel.com

"Hehe, do you think you have the qualifications to be ranked on the lists?"

Just as everyone was discussing, a disdainful voice suddenly spoke up.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked for the source of the voice and saw a young man carrying a longsword slowly walking over. This young man's eyes were filled with disdain when he looked at everyone.

They were originally somewhat angry, but when they recognized who it was, their expressions immediately turned fearful.

"Jian Tiannan!"

"The personal disciple of the sect master of the Myriad Swords Temple!"

"A top-notch expert ranked fifth on the Nanzhou Region Genius Rankings!"

"I didn't expect this guy to be here!"

Many cultivators immediately recognized the young man's identity.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan also glanced at Jian Tiannan.

This guy actually had a special Sword Dao constitution!

However, Ye Xuan did not care too much. Although this Sword Dao constitution was somewhat special, it could not compare to Yue's Sword Jade Body, let alone his own Sword Overlord Body.

"What right do you have to make fun of us? Each list has 100,000 places. Although we may not be able to enter the top ranks, we might be able to rank around 80,000 to 90,000?"

Some people knew Jian Tiannan's identity, but there were also people who did not know. As such, there were some people who voiced their unhappiness.

This person was from a mid-sized empire in the Nanzhou Region. Within his own empire, he was considered a genius, and naturally had his own sense of pride.

Moreover, he was only 22 years old, and had already reached the tenth level of the purple spirit realm. He was only half a step away from reaching the core formation realm.

"Hehe! A bunch of ignorant fools! With your trashy strength, forget about entering the rankings, you won't even be able to pass the 40th level of the Tower of Heaven!"

Before Jian Tiannan could reply, the pleasant voice of a young girl suddenly could be heard from not far away.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked over.

They saw a young girl around the age of 15 with a ponytail walking over. However, when she looked at that cultivator, her eyes were filled with disdain.

Beside the ponytailed girl stood an extremely beautiful 20-year-old woman.

"They are from the Gongsun Family!"

"Gongsun Wan and Gongsun Yao!"

"Gongsun Wan is only 25 years old, but she has already stepped into the early stage of the true core realm, and is ranked 10th on the Nanzhou Region Genius Rankings!"

"Oh my God! Another top-notch expert!"

"Compared to Gongsun Wan, that Gongsun Yao is the true peerless genius. She has already reached the ninth-level of the purple spirit realm at the age of 16!"

Many knowledgeable people immediately recognized the identities of the two women.

Gongsun Wan and Gongsun Yao were undoubtedly the strongest geniuses of the Gongsun family, and the two were blood-related sisters.

The one who spoke just now was her younger sister, Gongsun Yao.

"Impudent! With my strength, how could I not pass the 40th level? You're underestimating me!"

When that cultivator heard this, he became extremely furious.

He was the strongest genius of his empire, yet he was now being looked down upon by a 15-year-old young girl.

What the f*ck!

"Your strength? You're just an insignificant piece of trash! I'm only 16 years old, but have already reached the ninth-level of the purple spirit realm. How could you compare yourself to the likes of me?"

Gongsun Yao snorted coldly, and her aura suddenly erupted. When she looked at the cultivator, her eyes were filled with disdain.

When the cultivator saw this, his expression changed drastically.

How was this possible? How could a 16-year-old reach the ninth level of the purple spirit realm? Was that not too monstrous?

As the strongest genius of his empire, at the same age, he had not even reached the purple spirit realm.

This was too terrifying!Chapter 173: Ignorant Country Bumpkin

"Yaoyao, don't be rude to others!"

Gongsun Wan revealed a helpless expression when she saw this scene unfold.

It was precisely because her younger sister's talent was so monstrous that she did not respect other cultivators at all.

"How am I being unreasonable? Aren't these weaklings all just frogs at the bottom of a well? Yet somehow they also think highly of themselves!"

"Even with sister's strength, there is no guarantee that she will be able to enter the rankings, let alone a tenth-level purple spirit realm weakling like you? Do they really think that the trials of the Tower of Heaven are just for show?"

Gongsun Yao looked at the cultivator with disdain, her gaze filled with arrogance.

"Hahaha! It seems that our Yaoyao is trying to demolish the confidence of others again!"

At this moment, loud laughter could be heard.

A streak of light flashed past, and an old man suddenly appeared beside Gongsun Wan and Gongsun Yao.

"Grandpa Batian!"

Gongsun Yao smiled when she noticed the arrival of the newcomer. She walked over with an excited expression and hugged the old man's arm.

"Greetings, Grandpa Batian!"

Gongsun Wan also said softly when she saw him.

"It's actually him!"

"Gongsun Batian!"

"A terrifying existence whose cultivation has reached the fourth grade of the unity realm!"

Many cultivators immediately recognized Gongsun Batian.

Jian Tiannan, who was at the side, also could not help but frown when he saw this.

He rarely paid attention to others. Only peerless geniuses with the same strength as him, or unity realm experts, were worthy of his attention.

Therefore, when he heard that some people thought it was easy to enter the rankings, he could not help but laugh out loud.

Now, whether it was the Gongsun sisters or Gongsun Batian, they were all people worth paying close attention to.

Especially Gongsun Yao; her talent was actually even more terrifying than his.

"Yaoyao, although your talent is top-notch, you must remember that there is always someone better than you. Today, you may look down on these cultivators with low talent. In the future, there will also be cultivators with top-notch talent looking down on you!"

Gongsun Batian stroked his white beard and said earnestly.

At this moment, Gongsun Batian could not help but think of the young man he saw at the Heavenly Lightning Pool earlier.

Had he not met this person, his definition and worldview of talent would not have been transformed to what it was currently.

Whether it was Gongsun Wan or Gongsun Yao, both were far inferior to that person!

In Gongsun Batian's heart, no young cultivator in the entire Nanzhou Region could compare to Ye Xuan.

In terms of cultivation talent, only the master of the Divine Gate could be compared to Ye Xuan when the former was young.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Gongsun Batian's facial expression changed. His hand that was stroking his white beard suddenly stiffened. He had spotted a familiar figure amidst the sea of people.

Ye Xuan!

"Grandpa Batian, is there something wrong?"

Gongsun Yao noticed Gongsun Batian's reaction, and could not help but ask curiously.

"Nothing!"

Gongsun Batian shook his head, and then his gaze fell on Gongsun Yao as he said earnestly, "Yaoyao, don't be arrogant because of your talent. Although the Nanzhou Region is vast, it's still insignificant compared to the size of the Tian Yuan continent!"

"If you can leave the Nanzhou Region in the future and go to the Desolate Zone or go explore the wider continent itself, you'll be able to see those super empires and ancient holy lands."

"In the hearts of those peerless divine saints and saintesses, you are just a weak cultivator."

"You may not believe what Grandpa is saying now, but after this trip to the Tower of Heaven, you will understand Grandpa's meaning!"

As he spoke, Gongsun Batian could not help but secretly glance at Ye Xuan.

"Alright, I understand!"

Gongsun Yao agreed on the surface, but in her heart, she did not think much of it.

Hehe!

In the entire Nanzhou Region, how many young cultivators could be compared to me in talent?

Besides, even if someone's talent was extremely outstanding, it was impossible for them to be stronger than the master of the Divine Gate!

In terms of talent, other than the master of the Divine Gate, Gongsun Yao had never taken a fancy to other people's talents.

Once she heard about the master of the Divine Gate's deeds, Gongsun Yao had idolized him and made him the object of her lifelong pursuit.

In her opinion, the leader of the Divine Gate was the strongest genius in the Nanzhou Region, unmatched by anyone else!

As for what Grandpa Batian said, Gongsun Yao did not take it to heart at all.

Moreover, this was not the first time Grandpa Batian had given her the same advice. Whenever he met some young cultivators with outstanding talent, Grandpa Batian would always say the same thing.

Therefore, in Gongsun Yao's opinion, her grandfather must have met a cultivator with good talent in the mystic realm, which was why he would compare that person with her.

However, if the other party's talent was truly monstrous, how could she not have heard of that person?

Throughout the entire Nanzhou Region, other than the top ten geniuses on the Nanzhou Region Genius Rankings, she could not be bothered to pay attention to anyone else.

The cultivator at the top of those rankings was now close to 50 years old.

Gongsun Yao was extremely confident that she would definitely be able to surpass the strongest person on the rankings before the age of 40!

Of course, if her age and cultivation level were the only thing going for her, she would not be considered an overly special existence in the Nanzhou Region.

However, Gongsun Yao had awakened the Empress Ice Body not too long ago.

The Empress Ice Body was an extremely terrifying special constitution. It was even rarer than Yue's Sword Jade Body.

Moreover, in terms of growth potential, the Empress Ice Body surpassed the Sword Jade Body.

Gongsun Yao's talent had already been quite good to begin with. Once she had awakened the Empress Ice Body, her cultivation had instantly improved by leaps and bounds.

Now, she was hailed as the strongest genius among the younger generation of the Nanzhou Region by the various experts.

Gongsun Yao was born in the Gongsun family. She was the little princess of the family, and had been consuming heavenly treasures and spiritual medicines since young

In addition, everyone in the family doted on Gongsun Yao, which resulted in her arrogant personality.

Therefore, when Gongsun Yao heard that a cultivator from an ordinary empire wanted to place on the Tower of Heaven's rankings, she could not help but ridicule him.

He really was a country bumpkin. Did he not know what the two lists represented?

Even the Nanzhou Region Genius Rankings paled in comparison to what it represented to be ranked on these two lists.
