Chapter 981: The Eastern Domain Young Genius Ranking?

Just as numerous cultivators were discussing heatedly and exclaiming in amazement,

high above in the sky, hundreds of figures gathered here.

Many of them emanated terrifying auras.

Merely among those at the Primordial Spirit realm, there were nearly a hundred great experts!

As for the supreme existences at the Heavenly Human realm, there were more than ten venerable beings!

At this moment, one Heavenly Human looked at the crowd and sighed with emotion, "I never expected that even you would come."

As top-tier powerhouses of the three great imperial dynasties, many among them knew each other, and some even shared deep friendships.

Following this Heavenly Human's lead in speaking, many responded with smiles, "With the establishment of Cangwu Academy, such a monumental event spreading across all three imperial dynasties, how could we possibly forget?"

"Indeed, given Clan Leader Jiang's current prestige, no one in the entire Eastern Domain can afford to underestimate him! To show our sincerity, we must personally visit his door."

"Alas, I have pondered for several days yet still feel bewildered; I truly cannot comprehend why a powerhouse of Clan Leader Jiang's caliber was not born within one of the three great imperial dynasties, but instead emerged from this tiny imperial kingdom—logically, this should not be possible; he must harbor some extraordinary secret."

"Heh, even if he does harbor some great secret, so what? Judging by the supreme combat power Clan Leader Jiang has displayed in the Eastern Domain, none of us are qualified to investigate; not only us, but even the three Imperial Lords can only stare helplessly, unable to make any move."

Hearing this, many expressed deep agreement.

Although they felt immense curiosity regarding the secrets of the Cangwu Jiang family,

they cared even more about their own lives.

At this moment, another voice drifted out leisurely, "It remains unknown whether Cangwu Academy will admit outsiders as students."

"If we send our juniors to study at Cangwu Academy, hmm, wouldn't that allow us to establish connections with Clan Leader Jiang through this relationship?"

"That may be so, but according to the intelligence I have gathered, Cangwu Academy is the Jiang family's clan academy, permitting only clan members to study; our hopes are slim."

"It seems we must first find an opportune moment later to probe Clan Leader Jiang's intentions."

"Indeed."

The crowd displayed varied expressions, continuously engaging in discussion.

For them, arriving here at Cangwu Mountain served two purposes.

The first was to bring lavish gifts to curry favor with the Cangwu Jiang family, hoping to establish a connection.

The second was to secure opportunities for their outstanding juniors to enter Cangwu Academy for study.

Meanwhile, the numerous young geniuses following behind them gazed at Cangwu Mountain before them, their eyes flickering as they fell into deep thought.

Soon, several young geniuses from the Great Jin Imperial Dynasty could not help but whisper in discussion, "Do you think Jiang Chen of the Cangwu Jiang family is truly as terrifying as the rumors claim?"

"That is somewhat doubtful; it is said that since Jiang Chen rose to fame, few have personally witnessed his strength, with most learning only snippets from rumors."

"Everywhere it is widely circulated that this Jiang Chen is the number one young genius of our Eastern Domain; in my opinion, that is not necessarily true—the authenticity of these deeds remains debatable."

"On the contrary, Jiang Zhiwei tested her sword against Moonlight, displaying her full strength before the world; she is indeed formidable in combat, truly worthy of the title 'monster'!"

"It is just unknown how she compares in strength to that one from our Great Jin..."

Everyone felt immense curiosity.

After all, ever since news of the Medicine King Valley's destruction spread,

all sorts of information regarding the Cangwu Jiang family had spread across the three great imperial dynasties at an unbelievable speed!

Jiang Daoxuan, Jiang Zhiwei, Jiang Chen, Jiang Yan...

Numerous deeds concerning them circulated, becoming known to countless cultivators.

Furthermore, some troublemakers, based on this information, concocted some damn nonsense called the Eastern Domain Young Genius Ranking.

Without verifying the truth or falsehood of these reports, they directly listed Jiang Chen at the top, suppressing all young geniuses of the three great imperial dynasties beneath him!

They even evaluated him as possessing heaven-defying talent and unmatched combat power, supreme in the Eastern Domain, with no one able to compare to him!

What face did this leave for these naturally proud young geniuses? How could they not be furious?!

As for Jiang Zhiwei, because she had consistently challenged peers and never fought against established veterans of the older generation, she lacked sufficiently brilliant combat records.

Although her sword Dao talent was supreme in Moonlight, she had ultimately not yet truly matured.

Speaking solely of combat power, she still fell short of the top young geniuses of the three great imperial dynasties, thus being temporarily ranked tenth.

Although Jiang Yan rarely revealed his cultivation base, due to his titles of Little Pill King and one of the Cangwu Eight Outstanding, he was exceptionally included at rank ninety-nine.

As for the other young geniuses of the Cangwu Jiang family, because they rarely walked the world and their circulated deeds were too scarce, they could not conveniently be included in the rankings and were temporarily omitted.

It was precisely this ranking list that caused all the top young geniuses of the three great imperial dynasties to become extremely indignant!

We have not yet competed against this Jiang Chen nor determined victory or defeat; how can you underestimate us and list him as first on the Young Genius Ranking?!
