“Yang Zhen’s talent is exceptional, among all the prodigies I’ve seen, he’s one of the strongest. I’m afraid only the Flower Tower Master of Changyue Tower could stand a comparison with him.”
When Princess Changyang and others arrived at the mountain top, they heard Luo Yan’s words right away and were startled, their expressions filled with astonishment.
Su Qingyu, in particular, seemed thoughtful, glancing in the direction Yang Zhen had departed.
“This… Isn’t Elder Luo’s praise for Yang Zhen a bit too high?” Fang Shenhe stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied. His previous arrogance and self-importance vanished, replaced by shock and incredulity.
These genius disciples of the Great Sects always looked down on others. While they would not despise everyone else, few could catch their eye.
Even Yang Zhen, who was initially regarded as a mere lucky disciple from a minor sect with an eccentric character, was seen as a jerk by the majority. Yet, it turned out Yang Zhen was one of those rare geniuses who emerges once in a century and had the audacity to match. And more astonishingly, he had managed to infuriate Zhang Zongjin, another genius disciple, who had disappeared without a trace.
Nevertheless, no matter how gifted Yang Zhen was, he could not be compared to the Flower Tower Master of Changyue Tower.
The Flower Tower Master, with her single ‘Tower’ title, equaled the power of the five Great Sects of Nether Sun Country, underscoring her immense influence. The story of the Flower Tower Master began five years ago.
Five years back, Changyue Tower welcomed a young girl. She seemed only in her teens and her cultivation was at the first level of Foundation Establishment.
If it hadn’t been for her stunning appearance, which shocked the entire Flame City, she hardly would’ve caught public attention.
Yet, what truly astounded everyone happened soon after. The previous master of Changyue Tower announced his retirement, and that he would assist the new master-this young girl named Hua Youyue-from behind the scenes.
The news caused uproar throughout Flame City and the entire Nether Sun Country.
Unlike other sects, Changyue Tower operated more as an independent organization, retaining only guest officials, which offered a unique appeal to powerful practitioners reluctant to join sects.
Over time, it became increasingly difficult to acquire the prestigious status of guest official in Changyue Tower, yet those who held it wielded considerable influence and enjoyed numerous benefits, with some of them reaching the Golden Core Stage.
Those who were one step away from the Heavenly Realm, the Golden Core Stage practitioners, were content with holding the title of guest official in Changyue Tower, underscoring the charm of the Tower. It was a public secret that guest officials in Changyue Tower had immense power and enjoyed a vast number of benefits.
The fact that this immense organization was led by a girl barely in her teens nearly prompted a revolt among the guest officials.
However, Hua Youyue made a statement that rendered all dissenters silent. Give me half a year. If anyone still questions my ability to lead after that, I’ll hand over my position as master to him.”
People in Flame City initially dismissed this as a joke, but the following six months turned into a nightmare for those who perceived themselves as talents. Within a month of her tenure, Hua Youyue restructured Changyue Tower, including all its branches across the Nether Sun Country, managing everything meticulously and implementing drastic changes so that everything fell into place.
In the following month, Hua Youyue broke through the Foundation Establishment and entered the Minor Mahayana Phase, surprising the whole Flame City. Her cultivation speed was unprecedented.
In yet another month, Hua Youyue stood before everyone as a ninth level Minor Mahayana Stage practitioner, and with a single stroke of her sword, she killed a Golden Core Stage practitioner.
The next month saw her single-handedly venture into the Nether Light Forest and capture a ninth level Golden Core Stage Sky Serpent, causing a sensation.
Now, Hua Youyue was a Nascent Soul Stage practitioner, a force to be reckoned with. Some even compared her with the empress of the Water Spirit Country, saying she slightly fell short of her prodigious talent.
The speed of her cultivation shattered the dreams of innumerable talents, bringing them face to face with their own limitations.
The influence of Changyue Tower, however, had started to surpass the five Great Sects of Nether Sun Country, with tales of Hua Youyue even reaching the four major cultivation countries of the Nether State.
Every time this brilliant woman was the topic of the conversation, people couldn’t help expressing their admiration and astonishment.
Yet now, Luo Yan was comparing Yang Zhen’s talent to Hua Youyue. He even asserted that perhaps only Hua Youyue could compare to Yang Zhen. Besides being surprised, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
What kind of monster was Yang Zhen that made Elder Luo hold him in such high regard?
Especially Princess Changyang and Su Qingyu, the beauties among prodigies, who exchanged knowing looks-their eyes blazed with determination and fighting spirit.
Amidst the shocked crowd, a loud laugh echoed. Elder Ma Dexing of Donglin Sect sneered and glared at Luo Yan, “What merits does Yang Zhen have to earn your high praise, Elder Luo? If he knew about it, he would probably shed tears of gratitude and prostrate himself under your feet, worshiping you as his mentor. It would then be a piece of cake for you to have him join Dan Valley Lake, right?”
Well, well, Elder Luo, I see that you’ve steeped considerably low today, comparing that boy with the Flower Tower Master. Don’t you fear that the Flower Tower Master might take offense? It appears you value acquiring Yang Zhen as a disciple over your dignity.”
“Duan, the old devil, are you deliberately picking a fight?”
“Are you scared, Luo, the old ghost?”
Crowd:
Although two high-ranking elders had started arguing, everyone sighed in relief. They realized that Luo Yan made the claim only in an attempt to recruit Yang Zhen, which made him… extremely shameless.
Unaware of being much sought after, Yang Zhen was preoccupied with the challenging task of acquiring a quota for the Tri-Nation Trial.
After leaving the Enlightenment Stele, he didn’t seek Liu Ruoning and others, but went in search of certain ingredients in the mountains.
“I have gathered all the other ingredients. Only one ingredient remains-a blood-catalyst with a cold property, preferably from a rare creature or monster. Where am I supposed to find that in a short time?” Yang Zhen looked troubled. Getting recognition was indeed challenging, but how else could he capture the attention of Changyue Tower?
Meanwhile, deep within the same mountain range, two shady figures were lurking, searching for Yang Zhen.
“I heard Yang Zhen didn’t go straight to the mountain top, but entered the forest alone.”
“Are you sure that worm you have will work?”
“Rest assured, it’s the precious Blood Silkworm from our sect. Any Practitioner below the Golden Core Stage bitten by it will dissolve into thick blood, rot, and die. Mister Zhang, I ask for nothing else. Just let me inflict a few more blows before he dies.”
“Of course!”
