Chapter 1226 After all, it was that person's guidance.
The commotion alarmed many powerful figures in the capital!
Whether they were meditating in seclusion or drinking tea and wine, they all put down what they were doing and looked in the direction of the Wind and Rain Pavilion.
"Someone has broken through? Was it Feng Wanli?"
"He's indeed been stuck at the third level of the Saint Emperor realm for a long time. I thought he had no hope of advancing!"
"With his talent, reaching the third level of the Saint Emperor realm should have been his limit. How could he break through?"
"Hmph, Feng Wanli is just lucky. Maybe I'll be able to break through in a while!"
"I really don't know what kind of incredible luck he had! Humph!"
Some powerful individuals, after a brief moment of surprise, simply ignored it.
In the capital, there are too many Saint Emperor level experts. One more or one less makes no difference. It's not a big deal.
At the fourth level of the Saint Emperor realm, in a place like the Divine Capital where powerful individuals abound, one is not considered exceptional!
Some people who originally regarded Feng Wanli as an opponent, or whose strength was similar to Feng Wanli's, suddenly became unhappy after learning that Feng Wanli had broken through.
Even breaking through a minor realm at the Saint Emperor level is incredibly difficult!
Many people have already exhausted all their efforts to break through to the first level of the Saint Emperor realm!
Breaking through from the third level to the fourth level is incredibly difficult!
This has caused great dissatisfaction among many people who are at odds with Feng Wanli!
Inside the palace, General Xiang was accompanying the Emperor Wuxiang, reporting on some important military and political matters.
Suddenly, they sensed the movement of Feng Wanli breaking through.
"Huh? It seems like Feng Wanli has broken through? This guy's comprehension is that good? Back when he broke through to the third level of the Saint Emperor realm, I thought his potential was exhausted, but I didn't expect him to reach this point?!"
General Xiang was somewhat surprised by this.
He felt that Feng Wanli's potential was at most to reach the third level of the Saint Emperor realm.
The chances of taking it a step further are practically zero!
The Saint Emperor Wuxiang shook his head and laughed, "He's just lucky."
General Xiang sensed the hidden meaning in his words and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, does Feng Wanli have another opportunity?"
For a Saint Emperor-level expert to break through to the next level, this opportunity is absolutely enormous!
The Emperor Wuxiang laughed and said, "That person went to him and gave him some guidance. Of course, it was mainly because Feng Wanli had already accumulated enough knowledge and experience that he was able to achieve such immediate results."
Upon hearing what the Emperor Wuxiang said, General Xiang suddenly understood.
Upon hearing the words "that one," General Xiang's tall and imposing body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
A white-clad figure instantly and uncontrollably appeared in his mind.
The mere thought of that person sent a chill down General Xiang's spine, even though he was a fierce warrior who had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
It was an absolute sense of oppression originating from the level of life itself.
He will never forget it.
That day, he witnessed Ye Chen destroy the entire Beast God Palace and his invincible demeanor when killing the four members of the Shangguan family!
That being did nothing.
When General Xiang faced that person, he felt as if he were facing not a single person, but an entire vast, boundless, and eternal universe.
He himself was so insignificant that he was not even a speck of dust.
What made him tremble the most was His Majesty's attitude.
He could see it clearly: even the mighty King Wuxiang, who ruled the entire divine kingdom, treated that person as an equal when they spoke!
Now, His Majesty says that Feng Wanli was merely "given a pointer" by that person.
General Xiang understood everything instantly.
All the previous confusion and surprise vanished at this moment.
What remains is only a heartfelt sense of entitlement.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and a bitter smile appeared on his face as he cupped his hands to the King of No Form.
"Your Majesty said so."
"So it was that senior who made the move."
"That Feng Wanli's luck is more than just good; it's an incredible stroke of good fortune!"
General Xiang's tone was filled with undisguised envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Having received a casual remark of guidance from that senior, I believe Feng Wanli's breakthrough is perfectly reasonable!"
While many top figures in the capital were discussing Feng Wanli's breakthrough, inside the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, Feng Wanli respectfully poured Ye Chen his third cup of tea.
Ye Chen picked up the glass, but did not drink it.
He simply turned his gaze to the outside of the celestial palace, to the turbulent capital city.
"It's almost time."
At this moment, he spoke calmly.
Feng Wanli's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood Ye Chen's meaning.
"Senior wishes to witness the Grand Gathering of Eternal Prodigies?"
"I'll make the arrangements right away!"
He dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately bowed to lead the way.
"Master, let's go see! It must be very exciting!"
Xie Purou couldn't contain herself any longer. She tugged at You Ruo's sleeve, her face flushed with excitement.
The group returned to Baiyu Square.
The square was already packed with people, completely overflowing.
Countless cultivators craned their necks and stood on tiptoe, afraid of missing any detail.
The deafening noise of the crowd almost lifted the clouds in the sky.
A high platform was erected at the very front of the square.
On the high platform sat representatives from various forces in the capital, all of whom had come to observe the ceremony.
When Feng Wanli appeared with Ye Chen and the other two, the clamor in the entire venue momentarily froze.
All eyes were instinctively drawn to Feng Wanli.
"It's Lord Feng!"
"His aura...how did it become so terrifying?!"
"The Saint Emperor level four! He really broke through!"
"The commotion just now was caused by Feng Wanli!"
The bigwigs on the platform suddenly narrowed their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
Although they had already made some progress, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes!
However, what made their eyes almost pop out was...
This newly-broken Saint Emperor level four expert, who should have been full of vigor, was now following behind a young man in white like a servant.
He even deliberately lagged behind by half a step when walking!
Everyone recognized that the young man in white was the one who had just produced the Holy Emperor's Decree!
The fact that he possessed the Emperor's decree was enough to demonstrate his noble status!
It's perfectly normal for Feng Wanli to be so respectful to the young man in white!
The young prodigies also turned their gazes in this direction, some with shock, others with envy.
They all knew that he was the master of the Wind and Rain Pavilion, a genuine Saint Emperor-level powerhouse.
Throughout the entire capital city, he enjoyed a very high status and reputation!
But now, such a noble and powerful figure is being so respectful to a young man in white in public.
This is absolutely shocking!
Those present were all exceptional individuals, and while many felt envious, they also secretly resolved to grow to a level where they could command the utmost respect from the Lord of the Wind!
I also want to become a Saint Emperor who stands above all living beings!
