#589 - Enemies of the same generation

The Ninth Elder was truly frightened by Jun Wuxie.

He couldn't believe that a martial artist, having just survived the Holy Sect Tribulation, would advance his talent growth intensity to the realm of Ancient Legend!

The perversion of this kind of improvement speed was simply unimaginable!

After the shock and excitement, he couldn't help but sigh: "It means that you are already standing at the pinnacle of talent intensity that this world can reach, and you can no longer improve..."

Jun Wuxie: ...

"What a pity, what a pity, this world has limited you. Otherwise, when you reach the Semi-Saint Completion, you wouldn't be too far from that Mythical realm, would you?"

The Ninth Elder felt very sorry for Jun Wuxie.

Jun Wuxie was silent. After the Ninth Elder said this, he remembered something.

The World Tree once said that it was impossible to set foot in the Mythical realm in this world.

Now it seems that the First Level of Ancient Legend is the highest peak that can be reached. If you want to improve further, I am afraid you can only go to the Upper Realm.

"What's there to regret?" He quickly let go and said, "Since I have already reached the top in this world, then the strongest others can only reach this realm. In the same realm, in the same field, I, Jun Wuxie, am not weaker than anyone!"

He will not stay in this world forever. He will eventually leave, and then he can continue to improve. There is nothing to worry about.

"Come with me."

The Ninth Elder led him forward, took out a jade slip on the way, and recorded all his information on it, saying: "I will directly sign you up and register you here, so you don't have to go to the registration office."

"Do my female slaves need to be registered?"

Jun Wuxie pointed to the chariot, indicating that there were still four women inside.

At this time, Mu Yuning and the other three women came out together and saluted the Ninth Elder.

The Ninth Elder was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Jun Wuxie with strange eyes, and said: "You kid is something else. The guardians of the Bingyun Tower, the four most beautiful women in the world five hundred years ago, you can take them all as female slaves. I don't know what to say about you. I can only say, young man, your future is boundless. However, too much romance is not necessarily a good thing. You still have to know how to restrain yourself in some things."

"What the Ninth Elder said is true."

Jun Wuxie had an old-fashioned expression, and didn't feel embarrassed at all. His skin had already been trained to be very thick.

The Ninth Elder shook his head helplessly. This kid's answer was too perfunctory, and he obviously didn't take his words to heart.

He wasn't afraid that he would be obsessed with pleasure, and his perverted body was even less afraid of overindulgence or anything. It's just that if there are too many women around, there will be more worries, and the mood may be affected on the road to compete for supremacy.

Before long, the Ninth Elder led them to a particularly majestic mountainside.

On the stone wall of this mountainside, a cave was dug every hundred meters or so, and there was a barrier restriction at the entrance. When the restriction was opened, the scene inside the cave could not be seen from the outside, and divine sense could not detect it either.

"You will live in this cave from now on. Each cave here is connected to a small dragon vein. This cave has the highest quality of dragon vein spiritual energy, which can help you quickly improve your realm. Well, your female slaves should be able to step into the Semi-Saint realm quickly here."

"Oh, thank you, Ninth Elder."

Jun Wuxie was a little uninterested. The spiritual energy of the dragon vein was certainly precious, but it was commonplace for him.

The Great Zhou has the Small World Tree, and there is no shortage of spiritual energy.

If he really needed it, he only needed to say a word, and the Small World Tree would immediately gather all the spiritual energy to supply him alone.

"You kid, you seem very dissatisfied?" The Ninth Elder taught him and Mu Yuning and others how to switch on the restriction, and said: "This is not an ordinary dragon vein, but the energy nurtured by the essence of the earth's veins, which contains some of the origin of this ancient life star. You use it to improve your realm, and you don't need to worry about the problem of a floating realm at all!"

Jun Wuxie already understood in his heart that if this was the case, then the dragon vein spiritual energy in this cave would be quite precious.

The Ninth Elder's expression was solemn, and he said: "You killed so many Semi-Saints of the Four Supreme Overlords, have you ever thought about refining their true energy into pills or other ways to improve your realm?"

"What's wrong?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned.

"Let me tell you, you can use those Semi-Saints to refine pills to consolidate the foundation and nourish the vitality of people in lower realms, or for other purposes, but never use them to improve your realm, otherwise there will be big problems in the future!"

"Why?"

Jun Wuxie's heart skipped a beat. He had once devoured the true energy of Tianming and others, improving one realm.

Now, in the flesh and blood dantian in his body, there is still a huge amount of blood energy converted from true energy stored.

"The specifics, I can't explain clearly, but according to speculation, it should be related to the supreme powerhouse who created the cultivation system. Once you practice by devouring others in that way, terrible things will happen at a certain stage in the future. It seems that the existence that created the realm deliberately did this, in order to prevent future generations from cultivating by devouring others. Unless you can abandon the cultivation system and create your own system, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of it!"

"I am not alarmist. Our Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy has obtained many ancient books from the Upper Realm, which contain many records about this matter. Many people have tried it, and as a result, those Saint Realm powerhouses all found that the road ahead was cut off at a certain time, and the wheel of life cracked uncontrollably, and they died!"

"I know, thank you for the reminder, Ninth Elder!"

Jun Wuxie broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he only improved one realm, so there shouldn't be a big problem.

"Also, this era is very special, and the various powerhouses that will appear will far exceed the comparison of previous eras. Because many of the most outstanding powerhouses of the era have chosen to seal themselves, they are waiting for this era to come."

"You have killed many Semi-Saints these days, but don't think that you can easily kill Semi-Saints when you encounter them! You can easily kill most Small Heavenly Position Semi-Saints, but definitely not all of them. Some time ago, those Semi-Saints who ambushed you in the swamp were only barely stepping into the Myriad Worlds realm."

"As for the Middle Heavenly Position Semi-Saints, before you step into the Semi-Saint realm, you will not have the slightest hope of confronting them head-on. Even if your realm is cultivated from the current Second Transformation of the Holy Sect to the peak of the Holy Sect, or even the extreme realm, you are definitely not the opponent of the Middle Heavenly Position!"

Speaking of this, the Ninth Elder took a meaningful look at him and said, "Do you know what level Tianming and others who ambushed you in the swamp before were among the Middle Heavenly Position Semi-Saints?"

"Should they be Semi-Saints at the peak of the Middle Heavenly Position?"

Jun Wuxie speculated based on the fact that it was difficult for him to truly break through their defenses at that time.

"I am not talking about realm." The Ninth Elder shook his head and said: "They are indeed at the peak of the Middle Heavenly Position realm, but they are the bottom of the barrel among the Semi-Saints in the same realm, that is to say, their talent growth intensity is not high, only less than the Middle Stage of Myriad Worlds!"

The muscles on Jun Wuxie's face twitched a few times.

The bottom of the barrel? The Semi-Saints at the bottom of the barrel among the peak powerhouses of the Middle Heavenly Position? They had already made it difficult for him to break through their defenses!

"Most of the Semi-Saints that have appeared now are Semi-Saints with low talents. Those who are truly talented, even if they lift their self-sealing, are striving to attack higher realms, or are restoring their strength. Because self-sealing will only make themselves weaker, and it takes time to recover to their peak state. Therefore, they will not appear in large numbers for the time being."

Jun Wuxie thought for a while and said, "So there are still many Legendary realm Semi-Saints?"

"Not too many, but definitely not a few." The Ninth Elder nodded and said: "Think about it, over the long years, is it really as the world says that Myriad Worlds is the peak? Not so! Some Myriad Worlds level people break through to the Semi-Saint realm and no longer care about worldly affairs, and concentrate on cultivating in seclusion. Later, if they advance to Legend, no one will know."

Jun Wuxie nodded, thinking that it was true.

In such a world, the Semi-Saint realm has always been extremely difficult to break through since ancient times, so in the long years, those who have broken through to the Semi-Saint realm and have gone far in this realm, are there really some people with particularly high talent growth intensity?

As the Ninth Elder said, it's not that there aren't any, but the world doesn't know it. Only some people in the Semi-Saint realm understand the truth.

The Ninth Elder patted Jun Wuxie on the shoulder and said, "Now that your talent growth intensity is difficult to improve, put your mind on improving your realm, and secondly, on comprehending the deeper mysteries of the secret techniques you practice, so as to improve yourself!"

"I know. By the way, where is Yunxi's cave?"

"It's in the one next to your cave on the right. You can let her live here when the time comes." The Ninth Elder smiled ambiguously: "They are all bathing in the holy light in the Holy Temple now, and it will probably take a few days to complete. Just right, the geniuses we invited have not all arrived yet. We will wait for these few days, and when everyone is here, we can open the extraterrestrial ruins."

"Extraterrestrial ruins?"

"That's right." The Ninth Elder stroked his beard and said: "A corner of the continent that fell from the sky countless years ago. According to research and speculation, it should have been broken in a great battle in the Upper Realm and fell down along the cracks in the world. It contains many Saintly Sages' cultivation methods, cultivation insights, secret technique insights, and various rare resources."

"That's really a good place!"

Jun Wuxie was moved. What he lacked most was the insights of Saint Realm powerhouses.

Although he has his ancestor and Ye Qingxue, their realms are too high and their insights are too profound, making it impossible for him to obtain low-level insights that are in line with his current realm, just like a building, the upper floors are very high, but the foundation is very weak.

The Saint Realm is at least not so profound that it is unimaginable for him, which is exactly what he needs most at present.

Moreover, being able to obtain more experience and insights from different powerhouses and integrate them will bring different gains.

In that case, perhaps it could help him elevate his understanding of the secret techniques he cultivates to another level.

“How many people have arrived so far, and how many are yet to come?”

Ninth Elder said, “On our ancient star, almost everyone from the land has arrived; the others have not yet.”

Upon hearing this, Jun Wuxie narrowed his eyes and said, “So, you invited the prodigies of the Sea Race? And what do you mean by ‘our ancient star’? Could there be people from beyond our domain?”

“Indeed, we invited the prodigies of the Sea Race. As for what you said about beyond our domain, that is not the case, because that cannot be considered beyond our domain…”

The Ninth Elder began to introduce him to information he had not previously known.

It turned out that this ancient star, the Emperor Beginning Star, existed in a vast starfield. The Emperor Beginning Star was the most central ancient star of life. Within this starfield, there were also six ancient stars of life revolving around the Emperor Beginning Star.

The volume of those six ancient stars of life ranged from a few tenths to a hundredth of the Emperor Beginning Star. Each ancient star was ruled by a major power.

Before the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Emperor Beginning Star was the sovereign star of those six ancient stars of life. The Human Race here was the sovereign race of those ancient stars of life, and the people of those ancient stars were ruled by the Human Race of the Emperor Beginning Star, serving as servants!

“Was our Emperor Beginning Star so strong in that era?”

Jun Wuxie was genuinely surprised.

“In that era, Emperor Xuanyuan emerged, so naturally it was very strong. During the Desolate Ancient Era, Emperor Xuanyuan unified the Eastern Wilderness, and his Daoist influence even covered the entire starfield. The people of those six ancient stars took the initiative to submit and acknowledge their allegiance, merely wanting to be sheltered by Emperor Xuanyuan. Later, after resisting the tide of the apocalypse, Emperor Xuanyuan disappeared, and his Daoist lineage collapsed as a result. The world fell into chaos, ushering in the prelude to the Chaotic Ancient Era. Those ancient stars of life successively broke away, and later even helped those from beyond our domain target the Emperor Beginning Star.”

“Kneeling down for candy, drawing swords when there’s no candy?” Jun Wuxie was amused by the people of those six ancient stars, saying, “Then why are you still inviting their prodigies here?”

“This is a rule established by the founding master of our Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy. Every time the ancient academy opens in each era, it must invite all qualified prodigies from the entire Emperor Beginning Starfield, regardless of sect or race. Every great era is too dark at the end. The founding master wanted to gather more power. We, the later disciples, cannot arbitrarily change the rules established by the founding master.”

Jun Wuxie fell silent.

A trace of worry appeared on the Ninth Elder’s face, saying, “Moreover, the Heavenly Position Competition of this era will most likely be advanced. We need talented prodigies, which is why we decided to open the ancient academy ahead of schedule; otherwise, it will be difficult to compete with those from beyond our domain.”

“What is the Heavenly Position Competition?”

“The so-called Heavenly Position Competition is actually a special secret realm where one can obtain Half-Sage Heavenly Position Dao Fruits. Obtaining a Dao Fruit allows one to smoothly break through to the Heavenly Position realm corresponding to the Half-Sage realm. However, that secret realm is jointly opened by our Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy and the Sanctified Ancient Mansion from beyond our domain. Therefore, a strong competitive relationship has formed in the allocation of the number of Heavenly Positions. In each session, the allocation rights are determined by disciples competing against each other.”

“Ancient, Medieval, Remote Ancient, Chaotic Ancient, in the four great eras, we have lost. In these twenty million years, we have suffered terrible defeats. The number of Heavenly Positions allocated to us is less than one-tenth of theirs, far from being comparable to the Sanctified Ancient Mansion from beyond our domain…”

“The source of students for our Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy comes from this starfield, but the source of students from beyond our domain comes from many starfields. The prodigies they possess, such as the Primordial Overlord Body, the Myriad Stars Divine Body, the Azure Sky Battle Body, and so on, are all extremely powerful existences! These people, upon reaching the Saint Realm, all start in the legendary realm. There was even an Azure Sky Battle Body who was almost a millennium legend, invincible among his peers under the starry sky, and no one could challenge him!”

As the Ninth Elder spoke, he looked at Jun Wuxie, saying, “Those powerful and special ancient god bloodlines, if they had not gone to the Upper Realm but sealed themselves until this era, it can be said that they would definitely be the most supreme Half-Sages in this realm, hard to find an opponent! In this great era, the talent and strength of these young people with bloodline physiques may even exceed their ancestors! Therefore, you are very strong, but due to restrictions, you cannot continue to improve the intensity of your talent growth, and you are not invincible. Many people will eventually stand in the same realm as you, and they will all become your strongest opponents!”

Primordial Overlord Body, huh? He had already experienced it, and it was indeed very strong…

Jun Wuxie felt the pressure because there were too many powerful enemies, not just one, but it was difficult to shake his invincible belief.

A true powerhouse is one who rises in the competition with powerhouses, looks down upon his peers, and ascends to the summit!

“Yan Qingcheng can be considered a prodigy of the younger generation, right? She is only a little over ten years older than me. Did you invite her?”

Jun Wuxie suddenly asked this.

“Naturally, we invited her, as well as her disciple Yan Ruyu. They are both bathing in holy light now.”

“What, Qingcheng is here?”

“Yes, the cave dwelling is arranged to the left of your cave dwelling. It’s just that we didn’t invite Mu Xuelan. Her daughter came, and after careful consideration, we were afraid that you, young man, would not be happy, so we gave up.”

“I am naturally unhappy. She is carrying my child; how can she come to take risks? Furthermore, Xuelan needs to manage the Ice Cloud Tower. Now, the Ice Cloud Tower needs to be rectified and reformed, and she is indispensable.”

The Ninth Elder smiled slightly, saying, “Also, Ji Yinlan should be arriving soon.”

“Yinlan is coming too?”

Jun Wuxie’s heart warmed. They had not seen each other since they separated outside the capital last year!

Just as he was thinking this, a commotion suddenly came from the front of the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy’s mountain gate.

Immediately afterward, the distant sky suddenly darkened, and thunder rumbled.

It was a huge cloud layer, with layers of dark clouds, and endless lightning storms shining inside, the scene was shocking.

The dark clouds, wrapped in lightning storms, were rapidly approaching the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy.

He saw a figure in the dark clouds and lightning storms, very young, in his early twenties, with black hair dancing wildly, each strand entangled with lightning, and thick arcs of electricity shining on his body.

The man had his hands behind his back, his eyes blazing with intense electric light, in a posture of looking down on the world.

“Arriving while undergoing tribulation?”

Jun Wuxie was stunned. Who is this? He seems quite arrogant.

When can’t he undergo tribulation? He has to undergo tribulation on the way. Is he trying to give a show of force to the others invited by the ancient academy?

“That is the young master of the Thunder Serpent Dragon Royal Family of the Sea Race, Jiao Wujie. This person is extremely strong and has already entered the legendary realm.” The Ninth Elder glanced at Jun Wuxie and said, “Try not to clash with them. Let’s not have internal strife. We must accumulate strength for competing with the Sanctified Ancient Mansion from beyond our domain for the allocation of Heavenly Positions.”

“I have never been one to cause trouble, but I’m afraid some people will be blind and insist on coming to provoke me.”

“Anyway, killing is not allowed inside the academy, nor is it allowed to cripple one’s cultivation. You can handle it yourself.”

The Ninth Elder reminded him like this. He knew this young man too well. Once he started fighting, he was simply ruthless. Just thinking about it made him a little frightened.

He hoped that those guys wouldn’t be unreasonable and take the initiative to provoke him; otherwise, they would inevitably be dealt with.

“Ahem, you should go to the cave dwelling to rest. I’ll go greet them.”

The Ninth Elder patted him and disappeared from the mountainside in one step, landing in front of the ancient academy’s mountain gate.

He had to remind these prodigies of the Sea Race not to provoke that evil star.

After all, the Sea Race had conflicts with Jun Wuxie before. Among these prodigies of the Sea Race, it was hard to guarantee that there weren’t any who harbored hatred for Jun Wuxie and were hot-headed.
