Chapter 1163: Chapter 1158: The Main World’s Geniuses Make Their Move “…You all might not know, Chen Yu came with the Great Yu Realm’s support. If he was doing well in the Main World, he wouldn’t have been sent to assist on the battlefield, which isn’t a great task.” The person who said this was a king from the Yin Clan. If Chen Yu were here, he would certainly recognize this person as his defeated foe from years past, the “Night Spirit King.” The rule of the Tianjiao gathering is that anyone who had been in the top twenty of the “Heavenly Martial List” and is under the age of two hundred can participate. The Night Spirit King had just reached the Late Stage Star Condensation, at over one hundred eighty years old, making him a formidable genius not to be overlooked at this gathering. “It’s true, I remember when the Main World envoy arrived, Chen Yu offended him. I fear that even in the Main World, he can’t get along well, and as a disciple of the Black Demon Valley, he had no connections there. He likely was surpassed by the King of Fallen Moon and Lin Xuefei long ago.” A young woman from the Guang Clan in blue spoke, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, and her appearance was delightful. This person is the Guang Clan’s genius, “Guang Lingshui.” The Guang Clan and Yin Clan are both one of the six major Middle Ancient Clans of the Great Yu Realm, with deep foundations that even a four-star force like the Evil Moon Sect must treat cautiously. “Who do you think is the strongest among the King of Fallen Moon, Lin Xuefei, and Long Chen?” Someone asked, having already excluded Chen Yu from consideration. No one could give a definitive answer to this question. Long Chen, after the Food God banquet, had his bloodline transformed, greatly increasing his potential. Meanwhile, the King of Fallen Moon was also famous in the Southern Domain, a frequent top-pick of the “Heavenly Martial List.” Lin Xuefei was the second of the Northern Domain’s “Heavenly Martial List” in those days. Between these three, it’s genuinely hard to say who is stronger or weaker. So many talents gathered at Heavenly Platform Mountain, most of whom knew each other, and some even had good relations. Before the gathering started, the area was already lively, with various talents exchanging and the atmosphere relatively harmonious. Among the three returning talents from the Main World, Long Chen is of the Demon Race, the King of Fallen Moon is silent and cold, while Lin Xuefei is a bit warmer, surrounded by people seeking advice and conversation. Additionally, some were observing other talents, choosing opponents for sparring later. This is the Tianjiao gathering, a true spotlight though it is on the three returning from the Main World. They too can make their name in battle. If someone here could defeat Lin Xuefei, the King of Fallen Moon, or Long Chen, it would be enough to make their name known in the Great Yu Realm. “These three seem to be at a higher cultivation realm than I am.” The Night Spirit King cast a slight glance at Lin Xuefei and the other two. His cultivation had reached the Late Stage Star Condensation, but when facing Long Chen, he felt a significant gap, guessing that Long Chen might be at the peak of the Late Stage or even cultivating to the legendary Four-star King. However, the King of Fallen Moon did not exert a strong oppressive aura on him. As the time for the talent tea party approached… This place is in the domain range of Heavenly Platform Mountain in the Northern Domain, under the Xuantian Palace. Among the three talents returning from the Main World, Lin Xuefei had the most voice. “The Tianjiao gathering starts.” She announced with a smile. Everyone was eager to try. Just then, in the distance sounded a fierce breaking wind, three figures rapidly approaching, attracting attention. Leading them was Chen Yu, followed by two stunning women, namely Tu Zhixiang and Ye Luofeng. “Chen Yu has arrived!” “Heh, among the four Main World talents, his strength is probably the weakest. If someone wants to make their name known in battle, challenging Chen Yu is the most suitable choice.” The Night Spirit King said with a sneer. He was very unwilling when he lost to Chen Yu back then. Later, when Chen Yu came to the Yin Clan, he made the Law Enforcement Elder suffer and then left in a grand manner. Chen Yu is the least welcomed by the Yin Clan. Originally, the target of his challenge was the King of Fallen Moon, but now he shifted his focus. “Brother Chen, you are late.” The King of Fallen Moon greeted proactively. Back then, they could enter the eight great Emperor Sects thanks to Chen Yu’s help. “No matter, a remarkable person like Young Master Chen arriving last to conclude is quite fitting.” Lin Xuefei said with a smile. Back when they were in the Yang Family, their relationships were quite good, and since they all returned from the Main World, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy. Besides, Lin Xuefei returned later and heard rumors about a ‘Chen Yu of the Heavenly Martial Sect’ while in the “Purple Mist Daoist Temple” of the eight great Emperor Sects. She just wasn’t sure if this Chen Yu was indeed that Chen Yu. Not only Lin Xuefei, but those rumors were also heard by the King of Fallen Moon in the “Sun and Moon Heavenly Palace.” “Which force did he actually join back then? Is it the Heavenly Martial Sect?” The King of Fallen Moon wondered in his heart. At the time, the rumors were that the unrivaled genius of the Heavenly Martial Sect, Chen Yu, reached the top of the “Heavenly Martial List.” He really couldn’t associate this with the Chen Yu he knew. At this moment, the King of Fallen Moon and Lin Xuefei were both very polite and cautious towards Chen Yu. The Demon Race talent Long Chen, who was silent on the side, glanced at Chen Yu with white eyes, igniting his fighting spirit. Among the three great human talents, he was most interested in Chen Yu, perhaps related to his past defeat at Chen Yu’s hands. Lin Xuefei’s, the King of Fallen Moon’s, and Long Chen’s emphasis on Chen Yu made some talents present confused, yet they didn’t ask more. The Tianjiao gathering has already begun. A talent went up on the combat stage and issued a challenge: “Lu Zhanfeng of the White Moon Sect, challenges Yue Long of the Wind Fire Sect?” Both were slightly older, nearing two hundred years old, and their cultivation was at the Mid-stage Star Condensation, providing an equally exciting duel. After each duel, both sides were instructed by the three talents returning from the Main World. They did not take this seriously; the talents from the Main World might be the youngest among those present. Logically speaking, they had no qualification to instruct them, but since they were the main focus of the Tianjiao gathering, they had to flatter them somewhat. “Both of your shortcomings are evident. Your moves are empty in form without comprehending the essence, and your fusion with nature is low, as reflected in each of your mystical levels,” Lin Xuefei advised. In the Main World, each Primordial Power Star practically corresponded to one tier of Profound Meaning. But in the Great Yu Realm, Profound Meaning crystals were scarce, making understanding Profound Meanings much harder. Just now, the Profound Meanings of Lu Zhanfeng and Yue Long were only at one tier peak. Next, more and more talents stood out to spar, but none challenged the four talents returning from the Main World. However, at this moment, a rather powerful challenger took the stage. “Shen Ji, the Little Demon King of the Black Demon Valley!” Many people glanced at Chen Yu; both Shen Ji and Chen Yu came from Black Demon Valley, and they had enmity between them. Shen Ji wouldn’t challenge Chen Yu, would he? Shen Ji also looked at Chen Yu, the usually domineering and boastful Shen Ji, lowered his head for a rare moment. He had been defeated by Chen Yu too many times and lost the courage to face him. “Demon Ape from the Northern Domain’s Ten Thousand Beast Sect, let’s have a duel.” Shen Ji issued a challenge to the genius from the Northern Domain. The Demon Ape was formidable. At the Food God Banquet, he suddenly appeared and defeated Yang Yue of the Evil Moon Sect’s Yin-Yang Twin Moons, but was later kicked out of the top-tier seats by the Red Flame King. The Demon Ape grinned and leaped onto the combat platform. Within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, there were mostly Beast Tamers. The Demon Ape summoned his battle pet, a “Long-haired Ancient Ape,” with its hair fluttering wildly, revealing a fierce face and white eyes. The demonic patterns on the Demon Ape’s body began to twist; his body suddenly swelled, growing to a hundred meters in size, resembling another “Long-haired Ancient Ape.” He and his battle pet instantly attacked, pincering Shen Ji from two sides. Both the Demon Ape and Shen Ji were at the Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm. But the Demon Ape had the assistance of a battle pet at the peak of the Early-stage Condensed Star Realm, granting him a greater advantage. Loud crashes filled the air. Both Shen Ji and the Demon Ape had participated in the Food God Banquet; their confrontation was fierce and thrilling. This battle lasted for a hundred moves. Shen Ji unleashed the fourth level of “Magic Overlord Six Heavens,” defeating the Demon Ape and the Long-haired Ancient Ape in one stroke. “Indeed worthy of being the Little Demon King Shen Ji, the next Valley Master of Demon Valley.” A genius from the Southern Domain praised. Previously, Chen Yu’s fame overshadowed Shen Ji. In this battle, Shen Ji’s renown rose again; he wanted to show the geniuses of all domains that Black Demon Valley wasn’t only about Chen Yu. Even though Shen Ji didn’t go to the main world, his cultivation and strength were equally formidable. For the people of Black Demon Valley, Lin Xuefei, and the King of Fallen Moon remained silent, letting Chen Yu handle the critique. “The transitions within Magic Overlord Six Heavens are still not smooth enough. Although your combat technique had tremendous force and an imposing momentum, you were overly aggressive. It could be controlled more finely, saving primordial power…” Since they were fellow disciples, Chen Yu didn’t mind the past conflict with Shen Ji. Shen Ji was quite upset hearing this. “Magic Overlord Six Heavens” was the supreme art of Black Demon Valley, was it really that easy to cultivate? He had reached such a level; even the Demon Valley Master was very pleased. Yet Chen Yu’s critique made it sound like there were flaws everywhere. At this moment, the next challenger appeared. Dressed in a golden robe, with a proud nose and thinly carved lips, stood the genius of Xuantian Palace, Murong Guang. “Lin Xuefei, I’d like to ask for your guidance.” Murong Guang looked at Lin Xuefei. “Finally, someone is challenging the protagonist of the Talent Tea Party.” “Murong Guang was once ranked first in the Northern Domain’s ‘Talent List’! He was originally on par with Lin Xuefei as a genius of Xuantian Palace, but unfortunately, the envoy later chose Lin Xuefei.” Murong Guang always held a grudge over this matter. He never believed he was inferior to Lin Xuefei, but the envoy chose Lin Xuefei. Today, he was determined to challenge Lin Xuefei. Even knowing he would lose, he still wanted to challenge, and losing was fine; if he could gain a little advantage, it would be a victory. Lin Xuefei sighed helplessly; they used to have a good relationship but had grown distant. Lin Xuefei stepped onto the stage. The crowd immediately became excited; this was the first battle of a genius returning from the main world. What level had Lin Xuefei’s strength reached? Murong Guang struck with thunderous might, his palms sending a thousand phantoms cascading in layers. His cultivation was late-stage Star Condensation, and having just turned one hundred, he was considered one of the top geniuses in the Great Yu Realm. Opposite him, Lin Xuefei was enveloped in swirling white mist; she thrust out a palm, and within the mist, purple haze emerged, faintly and gently shredding Murong Guang’s battle opportunities. From this single move, people couldn’t yet see Lin Xuefei’s depth. “Six Extremes Heaven Kun Palm.” Murong Guang’s primordial power surged within, his palms wielding six strong beams, eventually merging into one, influencing the natural world, giving a visual impact like a celestial force pressing down. Yet Lin Xuefei effortlessly dispelled it with a casual wave. Their battle lasted for fifty to sixty moves. The crowd was amazed; Lin Xuefei’s strength remained elusive, yet during the battle, there were many opportunities she didn’t seize, wasting them. Their evaluation of the returning genius from the main world gradually diminished; perhaps at this Talent Tea Party, they might defeat the main world’s returning geniuses and become famous. The gaze of Ye Lingwang also fell continuously on Chen Yu. “Brother Murong, it’s time to conclude.” Lin Xuefei suddenly spoke. Her powerful aura enveloped the surroundings, controlling thousands of meters of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, with clouds swirling and purple light permeating, making her appear celestial. The aura emanating from her made everyone present feel intense pressure. Lin Xuefei waved her jade-like hand, and a faint purple divine light descended from the sky, shrouding the entire combat platform in a purple halo. When the light dissipated, Murong Guang lay pale and powerless. The surroundings fell silent. This final move revealed Lin Xuefei’s true power, which instantly shocked the audience. “She hasn’t yet broken through to the Xuanming Realm, but her cultivation realm and other aspects far exceed Murong Guang. Could it be that Lin Xuefei has reached the legendary four-star king realm?” The Great Yu Realm geniuses were astounded. Only now did they realize that during the battle earlier, Lin Xuefei was considering the bond with a fellow disciple and was holding back with Murong Guang. Lin Xuefei’s true strength was unfathomable! She was at least at the four-star king level, so what about the King of Fallen Moon or Long Chen?
