Chapter 357: The Confident Qin Yuan

“Has he already become a saint?”

Qin Yuan’s expression was calm, his eyes tranquil like an ancient well. He was not the least bit surprised that Su Chen had become a saint. With an air of nonchalance, he said slowly, “Less than twenty-five years old, yet he has successfully broken through from an ordinary person to the Saint Realm… This is indeed quite inconceivable. In the entire history of the Heavenly Martial Continent, only that figure from the chaotic ancient times accomplished this. But 1 have confidence that I can surpass him. In no more than fifteen years, 1 too will definitely become a saint!”

Qin Yuan had only been cultivating for over ten years. However, he had already entered the Nirvana Realm. In another five years or so, he was confident he would become a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint Realm. At that time, with his talent, after cultivating in the Quasi-Saint Realm for seven to eight years, he would be able to become a Saint Realm powerhouse!

A saint under thirty was indeed an unattainable goal for others, even unimaginable in their dreams. However, this was not difficult for Qin Yuan, endowed with two heaven-defying talents.

“No! You’re wrong! What he went through was the legendary ten Saint Tribulations!” The old man looked at him for a moment before continuing solemnly.

“Hmm?” As these words were spoken, Qin Yuan was instantly frozen in place, his face displaying a look of shock.

He slowly turned his head, gazing at the old man, his expression growing extremely solemn, and he said,” Did you say…he overcame the legendary ten Saint Tribulations?”

“Mm.” The old man gave him a nod and continued in a deep voice, “When 1 heard the news, I reacted the same as you. After all, in the entire history of the Heavenly Martial Continent, ten Saint Tribulations never appeared. Even that figure from the chaotic ancient times only overcame nine Saint Tribulations. However, many experts witnessed this news, including Saint Realm powerhouses. They would not spread such rumors just to flatter Su Chen. So this matter is absolutely true!”

The old man was so certain mainly because of the Wang family! One had to know that the Wangs were an imperial clan! Such forces valued their reputation above all. If they fabricated a rumor about Su Chen passing ten Saint Tribulations just to curry favor, once this rumor was exposed, the Wang family’s reputation would be utterly ruined. To an imperial clan, reputation was even more important than their power itself.

“Impossible!”

Qin Yuan’s expression instantly turned cold, disbelief flooding the depths of his eyes. “How could Su Chen have attracted ten Saint Tribulations? He’s just an ordinary prodigy with a divine body. How could he possibly have drawn ten Saint Tribulations?”

Qin Yuan thought of the fallen members of the Spirit Race. A chilling intent also involuntarily emanated from his body, causing the temperature in the surroundings to plummet instantly. Originally, he had wanted to rely on his own strength to take revenge. With the Longevity Immortal Body and the Mystic Eyes, he figured that within decades he would surely catch up to Su Chen.

However, his opponent had not played by the rules, suddenly becoming a saint and even attracting ten Saint Tribulations… This was a huge blow. The news was like a bucket of cold water poured over his fiery ambitions, extinguishing them. In the unseen world, it seemed Su Chen had left him with only a receding back view. Yet as time passed, even Su Chen’s back seemed to be disappearing from his sight.

“Actually… Su Chen also has two talents! Aside from his divine body, he also possesses a Supreme Bone. However, he concealed it too deeply, never exposing it, so outsiders are unaware.” The old man, somewhat reluctant, looked at Qin Yuan and spoke in a deep voice.

He admired Su Chen even more at this moment. Su Chen’s talent was clearly heaven-defying, yet he managed to keep it hidden until now. Considering Su Chen’s talent and age, if he had revealed these things earlier, their Shadowless Hall would have chosen him as successor instead of Qin Yuan. After all, Su Chen’s displayed potential was far greater than Qin Yuan’s. Many believed the root cause was that Qin Yuan’s Longevity Immortal Body was not naturally his own.

“Two…two talents?”

Qin Yuan’s expression gradually turned icy. The killing intent around him began to dissipate as understanding dawned. The gap between him and Su Chen would be difficult to close. Their talents were comparable, so how could he easily catch up?

“Don’t aim too high. Su Chen is not someone you can challenge. Even with my Great Saint Realm cultivation, dealing with the current Su Chen will be difficult. Your main target now should be Qin Hao! In this time, he has already defeated quite a few of your followers.”

The old man paused, casting a deep look at Qin Yuan, then continued speaking, “It seems he intends to challenge your followers all the way to the Shadowless Hall…”

After that, a thought struck him. Putting Su Chen aside, even though the Qin family’s abandoned son, Qin Hao, might have lost the Longevity Immortal Body, it seemed that his potential was not inferior to Qin Yuan who had two incredible innate talents.

Unfortunately, both Su Chen and Qin Hao now harbored grudges against Qin Yuan, which meant against the Shadowless Hall as well. This prevented them from extending an olive branch. The old man felt regret. For Qin Yuan’s sake, they had missed out on two peerless prodigies, which was a huge loss for the Shadowless Hall.

“If Qin Hao really dares come to the Shadowless Hall, I’ll suppress him with one hand!” Qin Yuan said calmly before closing his eyes to cultivate, anxious at Su Chen’s accomplishment. With his pride, he refused to allow himself to fall too far behind, even if Su Chen was not of the same generation!

At the same time, in a secluded courtyard of the Wang family.

Over half a year had passed, and it seemed that the name Wang Kun had been completely forgotten by the world. Even his small courtyard was now covered with fallen leaves.

Today, in this remote courtyard, a not-so-powerful aura flashed and vanished.

“Hmm? This is… The aura of the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm?”

Two Wang family’s disciples passing by sensed this aura emanating from Wang Kun’s courtyard. Surprised, they glanced at each other and scanned their surroundings.

One asked puzzledly, “I wonder which family member chose to break through here?”

The entire Wang family’s ancestral land was enveloped by a massive Spirit Gathering Formation. Even the spiritual energy in Wang Kun’s small yard surpassed that outside. Still, many clansmen opted to break through in their own courtyards, supported by smaller Spirit Gathering Formations. The combined effects produced an exaggerated density of spiritual energy.

However, there was no such small Spirit Gathering Formation near Wang Kun’s courtyard..
