Chapter 797: Chapter 796: Supreme Genius
The medicine field is vast, where the Five-colored Soil glows, ensuring sufficient nutrients are supplied for the growth of these Divine Medicines.
The dog leaf vine, entirely pitch black, with leaves resembling Tibetan mastiffs, exuding a dark light. Scarlet Orchids, like blood diamonds, shimmer throughout, with a burst of crimson light. Golden Grass, swaying like a sun, surges with golden brilliance.
…
This place is really splendid, too eye-catching, over a dozen Divine Medicines co-existing in a single place, a sight rare even in the opening of a secret realm.
Each Divine Medicine would make even the Primordial green with envy, for they are extremely rare, each taking root in desolate places, seldom do so many grow together.
“Why is this happening?” someone asked, finding it incredible. Originally they were just Spiritual Medicines, but now they’ve all evolved into Divine Medicines.
“Because the natural laws of the Lower Realm are incomplete, once brought up here and after the irrigation of the celestial laws of heaven and earth, most medicines cannot withstand the pressure and wither away. Only these dozen or so are exceptions, having survived and undergone transformation,” someone explained.
Everyone was dumbfounded, as if witnessing living creatures. Cultivators from the Minor Thousand World who can harden their bodies and pass the trials might experience a qualitative leap.
Of course, the majority would blend indistinctly into the crowd.
Shi Hao asked around, inquiring who had brought them up from the Lower Realm, only to find that it was a father and daughter pair!
From this, he was certain it was the Fire Nation and Huo Ling’er. But when he wanted to delve deeper and continue asking, even the powerful being who tended the medicine field didn’t know further details.
“There shouldn’t be any accidents, right?” His mood lightened somewhat, after all, the Fire Nation duo were as if they had created over a dozen Divine Medicines. This gift was too grand, enough to move even the great schools.
Feeling pleased, Shi Hao suddenly turned pale, letting out a scream, utterly wretched.
This startled everyone, in such a peaceful medicine field, someone actually wailing like a ghost, so tragic it almost felt like eardrums would burst.
“What’s wrong with you?” a young girl asked with concern, the others also looked over.
“I’m sorry, I was momentarily possessed, just let me scream a few times and I’ll be fine,” Shi Hao said with a mourning face.
Many people rolled their eyes!
Shi Hao left on his own, finding a secluded corner, and once again howled miserably, his regret slamming at him painfully; he really felt like kicking himself.
Because, he remembered when he first came to the higher realms, he also brought hundreds of Spiritual Medicines, but used them all up or consumed them right away.
Who could have predicted that, if properly taken care of, some could transform into Divine Medicines? This was truly… a colossal loss.
“Ow…” Shi Hao wailed painfully here.
Suddenly, a silver Divine Wolf came by, with a questioning look. Seeing it was him, it cursed. It had thought one of its own kind was in trouble, but turned out to be a foolish human.
Not long after, Shi Hao returned to the bright and bustling crowd and listened to the people’s discussions.
At a grand gathering of this scale, all the attendees were experts from various schools, thus bringing many valuable and astonishing pieces of news.
“Desolate, what background does he have to be so formidable, even capable of defeating the Successor of Immortal Hall. I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news!”
Someone mentioned Shi Hao, triggering a heated discussion.
“He is from the Supreme Dao Ground, destined to be at odds with the Immortal Hall. However, his situation is perilous, having defeated only the Second Body of the Successor of Immortal Hall. If the True Body were to come, it would be unimaginable!”
It turned out the Successor of Immortal Hall could split into two bodies. Recently, there had been rumors of him intending to merge into a single entity and at that time, he would become invincible in the world, unmatched among his peers.
This gave all the schools a headache, as a formidable figure was set to block the path of the primordial figures of the various races.
“I support Desolate, and I believe he can still surpass those from the Immortal Hall!” said a woman, her purple clothes fluttering, radiant and youthful, with some black patterns on her fair forehead.
This did not diminish her beauty; on the contrary, it added a sense of enigmatic charm, mysterious and dazzling.
Shi Hao was surprised, recognizing her voice. It was that bold woman in the Purple Gold Carriage earlier, speeding all the way, forcing all the Venerables to make way for her.
“Who is she? She has been so flamboyant all the way, what’s her background?” someone whispered, very curious about her identity.
“The pearl of the Demon Pattern Clan, the strongest young prodigy of their clan at the moment, named Tian Yao, has some connections with the unparalleled young experts that are about to appear.”
Everyone was taken aback; the Demon Pattern Clan was a famous major clan in the higher realms, specializing in characters, carving various patterns on their bodies, casting astonishing spells, and had produced many legendary figures.
“Miss Tian Yao, you’re so sure that Desolate will win, but from what we see, he really doesn’t have even a tenth of a chance,” someone shook their head.
“I was just saying that offhand because I find the Immortal Hall displeasing. They always act as if they should be revered by the world, utterly ignorant that there are many lineages in this world that can contend with them. Even putting aside the ancient times, would they dare to be so arrogant when the Supreme Hall was around?” Tian Yao of the Demon Pattern Clan said.
Many people were speechless, thinking that this young lady was no less flamboyant, and few dared to be as brash as her.
“Even if Desolate is to be defeated, there are others who can kill the Successor of Immortal Hall. I’m sure he’s going to have a bad time this time!” The youthful and bold Tian Yao said confidently.
“Miss Tian Yao, could it be that you want to persuade that supreme figure to take action?” someone asked tentatively.
Once these words were spoken, the area could not stay quiet, and many people felt their hearts pounding.
“Even if a supreme figure takes action, it is not certain that they can take down the Successor of Immortal Hall. Once he completes his integration, how many in the Venerable Realm can stand against him throughout ancient and modern times?”
“He will be defeated!” Tian Yao declared.
Shi Hao revealed a look of surprise, having thought the woman in the Purple Gold Carriage to be arrogant and unruly, imperious, and unreasonable. But now, it seemed that aside from being flamboyant, she was not as terrible.
The place naturally became lively, with many people discussing and bringing up the top ten young experts of the current generation.
“Miss Tian Yao, will that supreme figure really come?”
“Will!” The young lady of the Demon Pattern Clan replied earnestly, her expression serious and no longer frivolous.
“Chang Gongyan… is about to reappear…” someone whispered.
Everyone’s expression changed drastically, this name seemed to have a strange magic, causing people to shudder, many wore solemn expressions, their hearts filled with reverence.
“He should appear within these two days, maybe even tonight.” Tian Yao looked up at the moon in the sky, which was already full.
“Wuu…”
Suddenly, a wailing cry rose, coming from afar, shaking heaven and earth, the vast sky trembling.
At this moment, not just others, but even Shi Hao felt a shock, his blood stirred to surge like it was provoked.
As for the rest, they trembled in fear, many shivering as if all creatures had encountered their sovereign, the king of ten thousand beasts, involuntarily bowing down, ready to worship.
It was an instinct, many people were shivering uncontrollably.
“He… really came!” Tian Yao was excited, the first to fly out, soaring into the night sky, heading in a certain direction.
Everyone’s expression changed, utterly shocked.
“That person… has he really come?!”
In the manor, all were experts from various clans, inheriting from all the major ancient schools, but at this moment, these rebellious Venerables all trembled and then soared into the sky, following the commotion.
The gathering of geniuses was thus interrupted, as everyone rushed in one direction.
It was reasonable to believe that what was called a banquet was just a ruse; it was anticipated that that person might appear tonight, and they were merely waiting for it.
Shi Hao showed a hint of surprise and followed because he knew that person was outrageously strong, truly extraordinary and saintly, a character of no small consequence.
Tens of miles away, in front of a broken cliff, there stood a man alone, his expression one of sadness, murmuring to himself in what seemed like a ritual or prayer.
Occasionally, he would let out a loud cry, a cry so powerful that many Venerables couldn’t bear it and couldn’t approach, only able to watch from afar, each one pale with shock.
And some of those who charged too close directly fell to the ground, fainting.
“Is this Chang Gongyan?!” The crowd trembled. How strong was he exactly? Being in the Venerable Realm, the natural expression of his emotions, a single cry made some Venerables faint, this… was just too terrifying.
“Yes, he is indeed the legendary Chang Gongyan!”
This name had a strange power, making some onlookers shudder in fear, while others in the crowd showed a feverish gaze, staring intently at that spot.
“Chang Gongyan, who appeared four times, each time dominating the genius battles in the Three Thousand States, seizing the title of number one under the heavens!” someone said.
As soon as these words were spoken, even those who were unaware of him were terrified, their hearts surging with awe and shock.
Under the bright moonlight, the man was sad. He wore a garment of green cloth, his figure not robust but rather slender, and although not particularly handsome, his eyes were clear and tear-filled.
This was a lean, even somewhat immature-looking young man, filled with sadness, paying homage to someone under the moonlight.
“Is this Chang Gongyan, known to have no rivals in the Venerable Realm, an exceptional man of his generation?”
“Great-aunt has long been in slumber, you… don’t be too sad, she would also wish for you to be happy, to live on well.” Tian Yao spoke, walking forward, her face showing a gentle expression, vastly different from her previous arrogance.
Some people understood, knowing why Chang Gongyan had come here because a woman was buried in this place.
This woman possessed half of the Demon Pattern Clan’s bloodline, and half Sinful Blood. She was Chang Gongyan’s confidante in the past, and due to an accident, they were eternally separated.
“It is said that Chang Gongyan sealed himself under the snowy mountain for the second time to enter the ‘Immortal Ancient’ for a decisive battle, in hopes of finding the Phoenix Blood Pool to resurrect that woman.
Clearly, Chang Gongyan failed, having not obtained it that time.
Afterward, there was the third venture into Immortal Ancient, where he remained invincible, the number one under the heavens, but still fruitless.
What made that life unbearable for him was that the woman’s body had been entombed under the snow mountain for too long, extinguishing the last hope of her revival.
In the end, he could only carry the woman’s body here, to bury her at the place where they first met, on a night of the full moon.
There was talk among the people, causing many women present to feel sentimental, moved by Chang Gongyan’s story, their eyes reddened with emotion.
Obviously, Tian Yao was the most affected, her voice nervous and gentle as she consoled: “You… don’t be heartbroken, if great-aunt were aware, she would certainly hope to see you smile, not like this.”
Chang Gongyan gazed at the moon, his loneliness palpable, tears streaming down his face, his true emotions laid bare.
It was precisely this very natural sobbing that overwhelmed many of the Venerables.
“You’re Tian Yao, right? Don’t show off because of my presence.” Chang Gongyan calmed himself as he spoke, clearly having observed Tian Yao’s demeanor for a while.
“That’s not it, I’m just lively by nature… I definitely won’t be like this in the future!” Tian Yao stammered, her face blushing red.
Suddenly, a figure appeared above the cliff, clad in golden robe, dazzling and brilliant, like the sun descending from the heavens to this spot.
“Chang Gongyan?” He spoke, looking down from above.
“Yes.”
“If it’s you, come and battle!” The golden-robed man declared, a sharp sword appearing in his hand, pointing downward, the Sword Qi roaring out, shaking the very sky.
Everyone quaked. Who was this man? Daring to challenge Chang Gongyan, he seemed youthful.
“Shhh!”
With a flick of his finger, Chang Gongyan collided with the Sword Qi, causing an uproar, cracks forming one after another in the void.
“A sword core forged of Immortal Gold!”
“To battle against Chang Gongyan, is this… another ancient prodigy?!” Everyone was stupefied.
Dazzling twilight shimmered and the two disappeared into thin air, vanishing in an instant.
Only Shi Hao could see clearly that they stepped through the cracks in the void, seeking another battlefield.
“Hehe, it’s already been four lifetimes, and still, he pines for a woman running Sinful Blood within her veins. With so many sentimental wounds, Chang Gongyan is destined never to be truly unbeatable!”
Another figure appeared on the cliff, a woman also wearing golden clothes.
“The people from Sword Valley?” Tian Yao’s eyes sparkled, then she was sharply shaken as she realized who that golden-robed man was.
At the same time, the others were also stirred, understanding that he was an outstanding personage of antiquity, from Sword Valley!
“Referring to one’s blood as Sinful Blood, have we offended you?” Someone disgruntledly spoke under their breath, clearly someone from Sin State, discontent with the golden-robed lady from Sword Valley.
“Heh, I just look down on Descendants of Sinful Blood, so what? Let’s see how many there are, and who is whispering!” The lady said coldly.
She raised a piece of treasure, shining it downward.
“Boom!”

Suddenly, a thundering sound erupted, and among the crowd, a young man’s forehead shone with a symbol, sacred light soaring to the sky, illuminating the land and rivers.
“What?” Everyone’s hair stood on end as they cried out.
The golden-robed lady on the cliff was equally astonished, her voice trembling with disbelief: “Not long ago, the ‘Sin’ character was branded upon the heavens, reflecting across the skies, was that person you?!”
