Murong Xuantian was stunned.
He felt the breath of this little white monkey and was speechless.
Xiao Zhan frowned:
"The side effects are still too great."
"It seems that this method still doesn't work."
Murong Xuantian asked extremely excitedly:
"Xiao Zhan, according to the method you have developed now, what is the probability that it can increase the strength of spiritual roots?"
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head:
"The success rate is less than one percent, and there are many side effects."
"Let's not talk about it for now. I will inform you of the sect master after I make new progress."
Murong Xuantian took a deep breath and his expression became extremely serious:
"Xiao Zhan, no matter what resources you need, just tell me!"
"If you need my help, just ask!"
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded:
"okay, I get it."
"In addition," Murong Xuantian frowned slightly:
"The Tuoba royal family has sent an invitation."
"In half a year, the Haoyang Empire will have a battle of geniuses that happens every five years."
"At that time, all the proud men of the entire Haoyang Empire will gather in the imperial city to participate in the war of the proud ones."
"In previous years, our Xiuyuan Sect did not participate."
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows:
"Why do you want to participate again this year?"
Murong Xuantian said slowly:
"Xiuyuan Sect only exists in legends."
"The world only knows that our Xiuyuan Sect is powerful, but they don't know how powerful we are."
"Those sects that were founded less than a thousand years ago don't seem to take the majesty of our Xiuyuan Sect into consideration." m.
"Without enough prestige, everyone will not abide by the rules of the world set by our Xiuyuan Sect."
"Xiao Zhan, you see things more clearly than I do. Do you think I'm right?"
Xiao Zhan asked expressionlessly:
"Is this your guess, or is it fact?"
Murong Xuantian frowned:
"There is a force called the Enlightenment Sect."
"It has been established less than five hundred years, but it already has three strong men in the Fusion Realm."
"There are rumors in the world that the Enlightenment Sect may surpass our Xiuyuan Sect in the future and become the number one force in the Haoyang Empire."
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"The emergence of strong people in large numbers is a sign of prosperity, isn't it?"
"What's more... in my opinion, this does not mean there is anything wrong with the Enlightenment Sect."
"On the contrary, I think it can be understood that Xiuyuan Sect is lagging behind."
"In the long years, Xiuyuan Sect has no competitors."
"That's the truth," Murong Xuantian nodded:
"This is also the purpose of my plan to participate in this Prodigy Battle."
"Let us disciples of the Xiuyuan Sect also see that joining the Xiuyuan Sect does not mean that you can reach the sky in one step."
"After all, the young disciples are the future of our Xiuyuan Sect."
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm':
"I can lead the team to the imperial city."
Murong Xuantian breathed a long sigh of relief:
"Each peak will send ten geniuses."
"As for your disciples at the Tenth Peak, you can make arrangements."
"In half a year, I will ask the leader of the fourth peak, Ye Qingcheng, and the leader of the first peak, Gu Chen, to accompany you."
After saying that, Murong Xuantian turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave.
Xiao Zhan acted as if nothing had happened, staring at the white monkey that kept jumping up and down and lost in thought.
Half a year has passed by in a hurry.
In the past six months, Xiao Zhan appeared three times to guide Du Yue and Du Hao's practice.
Three times of guidance have greatly improved the cultivation of Du Yue and Du Hao.
As for Han Xiao, that kid continued to let loose.
The good news is that Han Xiao is slowly recovering his sanity. He is not as stupid as before. At least he can communicate normally. However, his personality is a bit weird. He hangs out with the beasts on the 10th Peak every day. He is always good. No trace was seen for several days.
This day.
Gu Chen, the master of the fourth peak and the master of the first peak, piloted a flying boat and landed on the mountainside of the tenth peak with ninety geniuses.
It was the first time for these disciples to come to the Tenth Peak. When they saw that the Tenth Peak was almost completely covered by towering trees, they were all surprised.
Although they knew that the tenth peak had been abandoned for many years, the sight in front of them still made them subconsciously compare it with other peaks.
The other nine peaks are the real Xianmen peaks.
The tenth peak looks like a barren mountain and wild forest.
But the face of Gu Chen, the leader of the first peak, was solemn and even a little nervous.
He said loudly:
"Master Xiao, it's time to go to the imperial city to participate in the battle of geniuses!"
Gu Chen's voice echoed throughout the tenth peak.
The next moment, Du Yue and Du Hao were seen rushing out of the forest.
Then, Han Xiao, riding a white wolf, also rushed out.
Han Xiaoya ran over panting, carrying a basket on her back filled with various medicinal materials.
At this time, Du Yue and Du Hao were both in the late stage of the Dan Formation Realm.
Han Xiao has even achieved the Perfection of Pill Formation.
This surprised Gu Chen and Ye Qingcheng.
As for the other Nine Peaks disciples, they were not too surprised because they could not see the specific realms of Du Yue and the others.
This group of elite disciples were carefully selected from each peak.
Their talents are excellent and their strength is extremely strong. The weakest one is already at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the strongest one is already at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Because there are regulations in every Tianjiao War, the Tianjiao who take part in the written examination must not be over thirty years old.
And being able to build a foundation before the age of thirty can already be regarded as a genius among geniuses.
Those who can reach the realm of pill formation can even be called monsters.
Those who can reach the Nascent Soul Realm are the monsters among monsters. Once they appear in the world, they will definitely be competed by countless forces.
Looking at the progress of Du Yue, Du Hao and Han Xiao, it is not a problem at all to enter the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of thirty, and it is even possible to reach the Divine Transformation Realm.
Du Yue and Du Hao both looked at the five people standing behind Gu Chen and Ye Qingcheng.
The first one, wearing a black short robe, was the third prince of the Tuoba royal family and a swordsman with the best golden spiritual root - Tuoba Qingyun.
At this time, he has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Realm.
The second one is Huangfu Qiuyue, who is wearing a light blue dress. She is the daughter of the emperor of the Huangfu family, the second largest family in the Haoyang Empire, and possesses the best ice spirit root.
Her strength has reached the perfection level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
The third man has fiery red hair. He is the son of the original leader of the Fiery Fire Sect, Huo Yan. He has the best fire spirit root and his strength has also reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The fourth man was wearing a black robe, holding a black knife, with a black arc lingering around his body, and his expression was very cold.
He is the fourth holy spiritual root possessed by the Xiuyuan Sect besides Du Yue, Du Hao and Han Xiao.
He is Wu Nan who was accepted as a direct disciple by the sect leader Murong Xuantian!
His strength is completely different from that of Du Yue and Du Hao, and he has also reached the late stage of the Dan Formation Realm.
The other disciples looked at Wu Nan with reverence and fear.
The fifth man is obviously much older than the other disciples.
His name is Liu Yong, he also has the best spiritual roots, and he has been a member of the Xiuyuan Sect for twenty years, and he happens to be thirty years old this year.
He is also the highest-level disciple that the Xiuyuan Sect can send under the age of thirty, and he is now in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
These young people can indeed represent the strength of Xiuyuan Sect.
Every one of them is a person to look up to in the arena.
Of course, the reason why they can reach this height before the age of thirty is because for geniuses with strong spiritual roots, it is not too difficult to break through the lower five realms.
What is truly rare is to break through the lower five realms, cross the path to becoming a god, and enter the first of the middle three realms - the Void Refining Realm.
Of the 10,000 Divine Transformation Realm Great Perfection monks, there are approximately 9,999 monks who will be stuck at this level and unable to enter the Void Refining Realm for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, in the Haoyang Empire, those who can enter the Void Refining Realm are already the backbone of various forces. In the Xiuyuan Sect, they are also elder-level existences.
And those who can go a step further and reach the Fusion Realm are very few and can become worshipers of the empire. Even the heads of many sects cannot reach the Fusion Realm.
This is also the reason why all forces came to congratulate Cui Yuan, the ancestor of the Cui family, after he reached the combined state half a year ago.
As for the Mahayana realm, the last of the three middle realms, it is even more difficult.
At least in the Haoyang Empire, the only known powerful person in the Mahayana realm was Murong Xuantian, the leader of the Xiuyuan Sect.
Back to business.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan didn't show up, Gu Chen looked at Ye Qingcheng:
"Master Ye Feng, why don't you shout?"
Ye Qingcheng said lightly:
"No need, he will show up when he should show up. It's useless for me to shout."
About half an hour passed.
A stream of light flew from the top of the tenth peak and slowly landed in front of Ye Qingcheng and Gu Chen.
"Master!"
Du Yue and Du Hao quickly bowed and saluted.
Han Xiao also jumped off the white wolf's back and followed Du Yue and Du Hao's example, saluting gracefully.
"Master Xiao," Gu Chen smiled and clasped his fists:
"I'm not bothering you, am I?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, looked back at Han Xiaoya and said:
"This time I will take Du Yue, Du Hao and Han Xiao to participate in the Tianjiao War. You will stay at the Tenth Peak alone."
Han Xiaoya smiled and nodded:
"Peak Master, don't worry, I will take good care of the Tenth Peak."
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm', took a step forward, and was already standing on the flying boat.
Du Yue and Du Hao also jumped up and landed next to Xiao Zhan.
Han Xiao kicked his legs, and sparks flew from the ground. His small body landed on the airship, causing the airship to shake.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, let's set off now and head to the imperial city."
After saying that, he released a trace of Yuan Power, and the flying boat rose into the sky, submerged above the clouds, and then turned into a stream of light across the sky.
On the flying boat.
Tuoba Qingyun walked to the side of Du Yue and the others with a smile, and said with a smile:
"Senior Sister Du Yue, Senior Brother Du Hao, long time no see."
Du Yue suddenly blushed.
She knew that Tuoba Qingyun was the third prince of the empire, and she and Du Hao were just members of the Du family in Pingle County, so their identities were very different.
But now, Tuoba Qingyun actually calls her senior sister and senior brother Du Hao.
Seeing the awkward looks on their faces, Tuoba Qingyun smiled:
"Senior sister and senior brother both have holy-grade spiritual roots. Their cultivation strength is much higher than mine, so it is reasonable for me to call them senior brother and senior sister."
At this time, Huangfu Qiuyue also came over and sneered:
"Tuoba Qingyun, if Senior Sister Du Yue and Senior Brother Du Hao hadn't had holy-grade spiritual roots, would you still be so polite?"
"If I guess correctly, you want to win over Senior Sister Du Yue and Senior Brother Du Hao in advance, right?"
"If one day in the future, senior sister and senior brother become powerful in the Fusion Realm, your royal family will have two more people to serve as ministers, and they may be able to assist you in your fight for the position of crown prince."
"Am i right?"
Some people died, but not completely...
