"The remaining two prodigies are Li Fan, the holy son of the Thunder Holy Sect, a sacred land within our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty."

"Although his name contains the character 'ordinary,' he is anything but ordinary."

"From the moment he entered the Thunder Holy Sect, he has been suppressing all the disciples of the Thunder Holy Sect."

"Brother Liang Yifeng has immense respect for Li Fan."

"It's just that Li Fan is too low-key and rarely appears outside of the Thunder Holy Sect. Even I have never seen him."

Seeing that Li Jing showed no displeasure at the appearance of the eldest princess, Duanmu Yuan shrugged and said.

"Very interesting."

Li Jing smiled slightly and said.

"I have some inside information, Brother Li, please don't tell anyone."

Duanmu Yuan lowered his voice and said.

"What rumors? Brother Duanmu, why don't you tell me?"

Li Jing said calmly.

"I heard that Li Fan left the Thunder Holy Sect twenty years ago."

“He left the Thunder Holy Sect long ago to gain experience elsewhere.”

Duanmu Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Moreover, when he left the Thunder Holy Sect, he destroyed all his cultivation."

"His entire cultivation level was destroyed?"

Li Jing looked at Duanmu Yuan with a surprised expression and asked.

"Yes, I heard that he himself destroyed the Thunder Saint Sect's cultivation technique."

"It is said that Li Fan is preparing to take a different path. He wants to cripple all the divine power of the Thunder Holy Sect in order to have any hope of embarking on this path."

"Even the sect master of the Thunder Holy Sect couldn't dissuade Li Fan."

Duanmu Yuan said with a regretful expression, "However, no one knows whether this news is true or not."

However, Li Fan has indeed not been seen by anyone for the past twenty years.

Whether Li Fan's seclusion within the Thunder Holy Sect is genuine or whether he has been away from the sect for twenty years remains uncertain.

Within the entire Thunder Holy Sect, there are probably no more than three people who know about this.

"If it's true, this person definitely has great perseverance, determination, and ambition!"

Li Jing said with a serious expression.

Imagine, which being at the God-King level would be willing to abandon their cultivation and start over?

Moreover, even if one obtains a peerless martial art, one can switch to another; there is absolutely no need to waste one's cultivation.

In the entire Eastern Wilderness, Li Fan is probably the only one who could fall from the God-King realm to the mortal world in a single day.

It's just that we can't confirm whether it's true or false yet.

"That's what I think too."

Duanmu Yuan agreed wholeheartedly.

"And who is the last one?"

Li Jing shook his head and asked Duanmu Yuan.

"The last person is also extraordinary; he is the newly appointed champion of our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty's imperial examination!"

"Yan Beixuan!"

Duanmu Yuan said with a serious expression, "This person is the most legendary one."

He came from an ordinary background and joined the army at the age of sixteen.

From a lowly soldier, he rose to become a prefectural commander in just five years.

He has reached the True God Realm!

Moreover, he had not practiced martial arts when he joined the army.

A person who did not practice martial arts, after five years in the army, grew into a master at the True God Realm and became a prefectural commander.

One can only imagine how astonishing this person must be!

"It is truly remarkable. Without any background, he was able to become a prefectural commander and reach the True God Realm in just five years. He is undoubtedly a legendary figure."

Li Jing said with an expression of agreement on his face.

This Yan Beixuan is no ordinary person!

What's even more remarkable is that, having already become a prefectural commander, he still managed to participate in the imperial examinations of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty and won the top scholar title in one fell swoop.

The civil service examinations of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor Dynasty were different from those of the Taichu Emperor Dynasty; there were no civil service examinations, only military examinations.

"Yan Beixuan has now been appointed as the deputy commander of the Zhenhai Army Corps in Zhenhai Pass of our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, and is stationed in Zhenhai Pass."

"Otherwise, we could invite Brother Yan Beixuan to come over for a small gathering and introduce him to Brother Li."

"Brother Yan is also an extremely righteous person."

Duanmu Yuan said with a look of regret.

"Zhenhaiguan?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Yuan's words, Li Jing's eyes narrowed and his expression became serious.

The reason he knew about the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty in his previous life was not only because it was the most powerful dynasty in the Eastern Wilderness, but also because of Zhenhai Pass.

Of course, in the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, there was not only the Zhenhai Pass, but also the Yuhai Pass and the Canghai Pass.

These three major barriers are the foundation of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty's strength.

The Eastern Heavenly Dynasty's current strength is closely related to the three major passes.

The Eastern Heavenly Dynasty is a dynasty located in the Eastern Wilderness, near the Endless Sea.

In fact, the entire territory of the Eastern Wilderness is a huge continent, surrounded by the sea on all sides.

This sea is the Endless Sea!

The endless sea is home to countless demonic beasts. The coastal defenses along this shore are always at risk of being attacked by these beasts.

The monsters in the Endless Sea are even more terrifying and ferocious than those in the Eastern Wilderness.

The Eastern Heavenly Dynasty was able to continuously produce all kinds of geniuses and become stronger because it constantly fought against the monsters in the sea.

It's not just battles that can give birth to geniuses; the rewards that follow battles can do the same.

The flesh and blood of demonic beasts contain incredibly powerful spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and their bones, teeth, and so on are also precious materials for refining magical artifacts.

The reason Li Jing knew about Zhenhai Pass was because a great battle had taken place there decades ago.

The five million soldiers of the Eastern Emperor Dynasty stationed at Zhenhai Pass were completely wiped out!

Even the commander of the Zhenhai Army Corps of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, who was stationed at Zhenhai Pass and was a God-King level being, perished in this great battle despite having a military formation.

In the end, the emperor of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty personally intervened and suppressed the attacking demon emperor, thus protecting the people of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty near Zhenhai Pass.

This matter is known to everyone in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

After all, it wasn't just the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty that suppressed the sea monsters; various holy lands and top sects also suppressed sea monsters.

However, the attack by a demon king-level monster in the Eastern Wilderness has not occurred for hundreds of years.

"Yes, it's a pity. If we want to see Brother Yan again, we'll probably have to wait until he goes to the capital to report on his duties."

Duanmu Yuan nodded and said.

Li Jing nodded slightly and said, "It's alright. If fate allows, we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

He did want to go to Zhenhaiguan to see more, not only to meet Yan Beixuan, but also to see the ferocity of the sea monsters.

In his previous life, he rose to power too quickly, which meant that he actually visited very few places in the Eastern Wilderness. He had only heard of most of these places and had never actually been there or seen them.

In this life, he naturally wants to see the sea monsters and learn about these sea monster races.
