Chapter 435: The Super Prodigy from Three Hundred Years Ago

"Please speak, Senior."

Hearing Aotian's words, Wang Jianqiang was stunned for a moment.

Aotian nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Now that the war in Wenxian City is about to begin, all the free Cultivators wandering outside the city have been recalled."

"Usually, there are very few Dahuang Immortal Palace Students in Wenxian City, but it is different now; almost all the Dahuang Immortal Palace Students wandering outside have returned to Wenxian City."

"Normally speaking, the more Dahuang Immortal Palace Students there are in the city, the better it is for us."

"But..."

"You are a bit different."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

Sensing the change in Wang Jianqiang's expression, Aotian smiled bitterly, "I suppose you have also realized that you sweeping the streets in Wenxian City is seen as a disgrace by many Dahuang Immortal Palace Disciples, and they have already developed dissatisfaction toward you."

"Many of the more radical ones no longer acknowledge your status as a Dahuang Immortal Palace Student and have come to view you as an enemy."

"And for many who are not Dahuang Immortal Palace Students, your status as a Dahuang Immortal Palace Student will provoke their hostility."

"So, as you are now, you could say you have enemies both inside and out."

Hearing Aotian's words, Wang Jianqiang curled his lips in indifference, "I don't think there's anything wrong with sweeping the streets; I quite like this job."

"Whoever thinks it's inappropriate can pull some strings to get me a different job; for the sake of the big picture, I can make a sacrifice and give up this beloved position."

As soon as Wang Jianqiang finished speaking, Aofanyu curled his lips, "Why should anyone help you?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at him, "Then why should I care about their feelings? Some people keep harping on about the reputation of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, making others pay the price, yet when it involves their own interests, they all play dead."

"I'm not their father, why should I indulge them?"

Aotian nodded, "Such people are indeed hateful, and I, Aotian, also find them hard to look at, but I have to admit that these people make up the majority, and no one can change that."

"Of course, not all Dahuang Immortal Palace Students are like this."

"Those hostile to you, Junior, are mainly some people led by Wei Yuan's team; you just need to pay more attention and act carefully."

"As long as you stay within Wenxian City, no one can do anything to you."

Wei Yuan?

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

He remembered the team of five women and one man he had seen before.

Among them.

That delicate woman had left a deep impression on him.

And then there was the person leading them, Wei Yuan.

Just then, Aotian's voice entered his ears once again.

"Junior, this is a list I have specially compiled for you, which records all the Dahuang Immortal Palace Students who are hostile toward you."

"If you ever leave Wenxian City, you must be careful of them."

When Wang Jianqiang came back to his senses, a Jade Slip had already appeared in Aotian's hand.

He flicked his finger, and the Jade Slip flew in front of Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang put the Jade Slip away and cupped his hands toward Aotian, "Many thanks, Senior."

Aotian shook his head, "No need for such formalities, Junior. I admire your temperament. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me; I will certainly do my best to help."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile and asked curiously, "Senior, what exactly is going on with the great war you mentioned that is about to begin?"

He had long guessed that a war might break out in the near future.

However, the war had been slow to arrive.

It gave him a sense of the calm before the storm.

And the actions of Wenxian City had also verified his thoughts.

It seemed this war was not simple at all!

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Aotian's expression became solemn.

"Recently, Wenxian City will likely face the most brutal battle in the last hundred years!"

Wang Jianqiang's expression tightened upon hearing this.

He did not interrupt, maintaining a listening posture.

Aotian looked at Wang Jianqiang and continued, "A few months ago, a large number of demonic beasts suddenly appeared in the area near Wenxian City, and as time passed, the number of demonic beasts has been surging."

"As you know, the Outer Realm Battlefield is actually formed by a void passage; there should not have been any indigenous creatures there at all."

"These demonic beasts must have come from Outside the Realm."

"After some investigation, signs of activity from people Outside the Realm were indeed discovered, from which it is inferred that the Cultivators Outside the Realm are definitely brewing another war."

"Now, the strength of the demonic beasts gathered around Wenxian City alone cannot be underestimated, yet the number of demonic beasts is still constantly increasing."

"Coupled with the power of the Cultivators Outside the Realm themselves, the difficulty of this war will surely exceed imagination."

Wang Jianqiang's expression tightened upon hearing this.

Aotian looked at Wang Jianqiang and continued, "However, we don't need to worry too much. Now, many free-roaming Cultivators have returned, and at the same time, the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace has also organized a large number of Cultivators to enter Wenxian City for support."

"Moreover, our City Lord is not a simple character."

"We might not necessarily lose this battle."

City Lord?

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

He remembered the four Vice City Lords he had seen from afar before.

The four Vice City Lords were all Eighth-rank Will Cultivators.

Judging by what Aotian said.

Has the City Lord already reached the Ninth-Order Will Stage?

Ninth-Order Will is already the limit that the Will Power of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator can reach.

Since ancient times.

Cultivators who can reach this step are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

"That City Lord of ours is a cultivator whose Will Power has reached the ninth tier."

"She has guarded this Wenxian City for nearly three hundred years."

Soon, Aotian's voice came again.

It verified Wang Jianqiang's guess.

Immediately after, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred, and he could not help but reveal a look of surprise, "A Ninth-rank Will Cultivator can already reach the Spirit Transformation Stage at any time; she actually did not choose to break through, but has stayed in Wenxian City all this time!"

"This is also a matter of no choice."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Aotian sighed, "Wenxian City is not just a city, it is also a special Composite Magical Treasure."

"With this Magic Treasure here, it can Suppress this Space Channel."

"Do not underestimate this channel just because it can only bear cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Stage; you must know, a thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by an ant hole."

"Once this channel is lost, the cultivators from Outside the Realm can use this channel as a foundation to continuously reinforce it, allowing it to bear higher-level cultivators!"

"Ultimately achieving the goal of invading our world."

"Therefore, this Void Battlefield is incomparably important, whether for us or for the cultivators from Outside the Realm."

"Jie Wai Xiu Xian Jie is much stronger than our world, and Ninth-rank Will Cultivators emerge one after another."

"In the past, with the City Protection Array, we did not need to worry too much."

"But three hundred years ago, the Outside the Realm suddenly gathered ten Ninth-rank Will Cultivators, leading thousands of prodigies to besiege Wenxian City; in that battle, although Wenxian City relied on the City Protection Array to hold out, the City Protection Array was also broken."

"Although it recovered some of its power afterward under the repairs of many Array Masters, it is far inferior to what it was initially; without the assistance of a Ninth-rank Will Cultivator, it is very difficult to defend Wenxian City."

"If not for the City Lord rising up in time, relying only on the City Protection Array with its greatly reduced power, this Wenxian City would likely have already fallen."

"But how could a Ninth-rank Will Cultivator be so easily born?"

"In the three hundred years since the City Lord, let alone the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, even looking across the Nine Great Realms, not a single Ninth-rank Will Cultivator has been born again."

"For the sake of the big picture, the City Lord had to give up breaking through, suppressing her cultivation realm to guard Wenxian City until now."

"You must know, back then she reached the Ninth-rank Will cultivation level when she was less than two hundred years old; if not for deliberately suppressing her cultivation realm, she would likely have already gone very far in the Spirit Transformation Stage by now."

Speaking to the end, while sighing, a look of deep admiration could not help but appear on Aotian's face.
