Chapter 122: Heaven's Pride Three Tiers

Jiang Xuan and Yao Xi were wandering at will when suddenly someone discussed:

"Have you heard? A source technique master named Gu Feng recently came to Holy City, suspected to have obtained the inheritance of the Source Heavenly Master, continuously cutting out rare divine sources, and it is said that recently he even cut out two living Ancient Creatures; his source technique skills approach those of Jiang Xuan back then, and many masters of Source Technique Aristocratic Families have lost to this Gu Feng."

"Haha, you really boast without a draft; not everyone can be compared with Jiang Xuan. I admit that Gu Feng's source technique is excellent, but has he ever cut out divine medicine? Has he ever cut out immortal treasures?"

"By the way, that Ancient Desolate Holy Body has been jumping around fiercely lately. Someone saw him fight the Golden Winged Xiao Peng Wang, and it was terrifying beyond measure. With the cultivation level of Dao Palace Five Heavens, he actually fought the Xiao Peng Wang to over a thousand rounds without a winner, simply shocking to hear."

"Yes, I don't know how this Ancient Desolate Holy Body cultivated to this level, and his combat power is even more outrageous. You must know that the Xiao Peng Wang has gone very far in the Four Extremes realm."

"The Xiao Peng Wang has aspirations for the Emperor Road; fighting above his level is nothing unusual. I didn't expect that this time he would actually be reversed against the immortal by someone one major realm lower than him."

Just at this time, suddenly a sonorous and powerful footstep slowly came from outside the wine tower, bang! bang! bang!

Accompanied by the resounding footsteps, everyone's heartbeat also jumped rhythmically.

A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old walked over, white clothes whiter than snow, red lips and white teeth, tall and slender figure, eyes bright like gems; he was indeed a handsome and elegant young man.

Behind the boy, two old servants followed on the left and right, with gray-white hair, their aura like an abyss and like the sea leaking out inadvertently.

"What Ancient Desolate Holy Body? What reversing the mortal to slay the immortal? In my opinion, it is nothing more than an Ancient Desolate Waste Body whose path ahead is cut off. I will definitely suppress him, take his holy blood, and refine a furnace of Dayaо." Before the handsome and elegant young man arrived, the cold voice had already entered the wine tower.

The handsome and elegant young man was exceptionally handsome, almost a monster genius, not like a mortal, but in his opening words, full of disdain for Holy Body Ye Fan. For a while, many cultivators in the wine tower frowned, feeling this youth was too arrogant. Although the Ancient Desolate Holy Body was destined to stop at the Dao Palace Five Heavens realm, this terrifying combat power was already not inferior to the famous masters of Holy Lands, surpassing the vast majority of cultivators here. This youth speaking so impolitely—wasn't it saying they were not even as good as waste?

"This youth is very strong!"

Yao Xi's eyes paused slightly, her expression heavy.

"Indeed not bad. Speaking only of potential, in Donghuang, he can be considered third-rate." Jiang Xuan said.

"Third-rate?" Yao Xi doubted. She felt this half-grown youth was not inferior to her, and he was so young; in Jiang Xuan's eyes, he could only be ranked third-rate?

Yao Xi became even more curious and said: "Then in your opinion, who are those in the first-rate and second-rate?"

"First-rate, naturally none other than me, only me alone, deserving without yielding." Jiang Xuan said impolitely.

Yao Xi subconsciously wanted to retort, but when the words reached her lips, she immediately reacted. This was a fact. Speaking of realm, speaking of combat power, Jiang Xuan could not be compared with any Heaven's Pride of Donghuang. His achievements made all Heaven's Prides feel despair, simply unable to catch up. Except for having no power, he could already stand on equal footing with the Holy Masters of various Holy Lands.

"Then what about second-rate?"

"In my opinion, Holy Body Ye Fan belongs to the second-rate, surpassing the other Heaven's Prides. Besides, Yaoguang Shengzi can also be reluctantly ranked second-rate, but his future achievements will definitely not be as good as Ye Fan's." Jiang Xuan said leisurely.

Yao Xi was surprised. She didn't expect Jiang Xuan's evaluation of Ye Fan to be so high; even the unfathomable Yaoguang Shengzi was inferior by half a step.

Her beautiful eyes flowed with glances as she asked: "You once said Yaoguang Shengzi cultivates both Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and Indestructible Heavenly Art, while Ye Fan only cultivated Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and was restrained by Yaoguang Shengzi. How do you evaluate Yaoguang Shengzi as inferior to Ye Fan?"

"What is powerful is never any technique, but the person. I have never cultivated any Emperor Scripture, only using Emperor Scripture as nourishment for my growth, so I can dominate Donghuang." Jiang Xuan said domineeringly.

Yao Xi thoughtfully said: "What is powerful is the person?"

But at this time, someone couldn't help but retort: "Child, there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. It is better to be humble in life. You must know that many young talents in this world fall early before they have grown up."

"The Human Race has no Great Emperor. The Nine Holy Bodies fought the Heavenly Vault. Over a hundred thousand years ago, the Holy Body protected heaven and earth. In today's era, even if it has become a Waste Body, it is still worthy of respect. Young man, it is better to be merciful with your words."

"Heng!" This time the handsome youth did not retort.

"This youth is extremely arrogant. However, judging by his cultivation level, he indeed has the capital to be arrogant. The old servants behind him are even more unfathomable. Could he be a Heaven's Pride secretly cultivated by other domains?" In this wine tower, cultivators came from all corners of the world. Naturally, there were also a few cultivators with profound cultivation who saw through the handsome youth's cultivation level, secretly palpitating and boldly guessing.

Footsteps sounded again at the wine tower entrance. A man in blue clothes strode over, with a dignified bearing and very heroic. Divine light occasionally shone brilliantly in his eyes.

"Which family's youth? What is your surname and name? Noisy."

The handsome youth said: "A loose cultivator from the mountains and wilds, Xia Jiuyou."

"And who are you?"

"Yaoguang, Li Rui." Li Rui's heroic spirit was restrained. Ye Fan possessed the great treasure of heaven and earth, the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things. This was a Great Emperor's holy object. He also had a mind to compete for it. If he could seize the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things, it would not be without a chance to become a true Holy Son, rather than the current Candidate Holy Son.

"You want to compete with me for the Ancient Desolate Holy Body?" Xia Jiuyou was young, but his words were sharp and pointed, as if this Ancient Desolate Holy Body was already a turtle in her jar.

"Virtue not matching position must bring disaster. Ye Fan is nothing more than a mere Waste Body, yet he possesses the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things. I am doing this for his own good." Li Rui's expression was arrogant.

"Why be so hypocritical? Coveting the heavy treasure but unwilling to admit it. Wanting to capture the Holy Body, you can openly admit it. I won't tear my face with you. Whoever captures him first is the master of the Holy Body." Xia Jiuyou was full of disdain and said indifferently.

"You are too arrogant." Li Rui was exposed, his expression somewhat annoyed.

"Nonsense. If you want to act, just act directly. Your pretense makes me look down on you. No wonder you are only Yaoguang's Candidate Holy Son, not a true Holy Son."

After speaking, Xia Jiuyou directly made a move, striking toward Candidate Holy Son Li Rui of Shaking Light. Her slender and long fingers were like the most precious mutton-fat white jade carved, without a single flaw.

Many cultivators in the wine tower trembled with fear, feeling a sense of palpitating flesh. Xia Jiuyou only lightly flicked, and the powerful slight pressure made many cultivators almost unable to breathe.

A Dao Stele emerged, divine light brilliant, dense Dao patterns flashing brilliantly, terrifying and powerful, pressing down toward Li Rui's head top.

Many cultivators in the wine tower were greatly shocked. This was not some powerful divine weapon or heavy treasure, but a divine power condensed by this handsome youth with his own reasoning and divine power. Judging by his casual and natural move, it was obviously done effortlessly.

"Heng!"

Li Rui let out a cold snort and used a move called Heavenly King Holding Up the Pagoda, hurriedly blocking this divine power Dao Stele so it could not fall. He was shocked in his heart. Although he resisted this powerful suppressive force, his arms faintly ached with a numb sensation.

"You have some skill, able to block my casual strike. But if your skill ends here, then roll back to Shaking Light." The handsome youth Xia Jiuyou said coldly. He flicked his hand again, divine power surged, rushing toward the Dao Stele. Instantly, the patterns on the surface of the Dao Stele shone with divine light, radiant and brilliant, the aura of the Great Dao permeating, becoming even heavier and irresistible.
