Upon seeing this, the surrounding area immediately erupted in discussion, with many expressing their amazement.
"I never expected Qin Feilong to use the Regenerated Stone as a wager; that's quite a big deal."
"I'd do the same if it were a sure thing."
"To get first place, you have to defeat Nangong Xiu. How is that possible?"
"Qin Feilong is indeed shrewd, but what is he after?" someone wondered slightly.
"Of course, we're going to be competing with each other for something."
Although everyone had a new understanding of Chu Mo's strength, no one believed that he could defeat Nangong Xiu.
That's a super prodigy who can fight opponents of higher levels!
Even when she was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, she was able to defeat opponents at the high-stage of Qi Refining.
At the time, it shocked the entire village.
Therefore, so what if Chu Mo is also a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
He has no chance of winning against Nangong Xiu!
This view is shared not only by ordinary villagers, but also by Golden Core experts who sit cross-legged in the void.
Even Ninth Martial Uncle Tang Jingxiang couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle:
"Xiao Mo is probably going to miscalculate this time. Xiu is no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Haha, I'm actually looking forward to seeing him get his comeuppance."
Zhou Lu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Xiu girl isn't an ordinary cultivator, so is Xiao Mo one? Maybe you'll be the ones who get proven wrong in the end!"
Jiang Fengchun, who had been silent all along, suddenly interrupted coldly.
"Third Senior Brother, do you mean that Xiao Mo can beat Xiu Yatou?"
"How is that possible? No matter how prodigious Xiao Mo is, he has only cultivated for a little over three months."
Zhou Lu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Being at the same level does not necessarily mean having the same strength, just like comparing a toddler who has just learned to walk to an adult.
Although both can walk, can they walk at the same speed?
Compared to Chu Mo, Nangong Xiu, who has cultivated for more than ten years, must have a deeper understanding of Taoist magic.
This will provide a greater advantage during the game.
Unless Chu Mo's talent far surpasses Nangong Xiu's, he cannot make up for this gap.
Just like Namgoong Xiu, who was able to beat others, it was all due to the difference in talent.
But Chu Mo is a genius, and Nangong Xiu is not stupid either; it's almost impossible for them to crush each other in this aspect.
Little did they know that Chu Mo had been cultivating inside the bronze cauldron for many years.
Therefore, such a comparison is meaningless.
The other powerful figures around them stared blankly as they heard their discussion.
Chu Mo really only cultivated for a little over three months? This is more than just a prodigy!
It's simply... well, they're at a loss for words; they really don't know how to describe it.
All I could do was scream in my head: Holy crap!
If that's the case, does it mean that Lingyin Village still has a glimmer of hope?
Everyone's hearts pounded.
Their previously gloomy eyes were suddenly illuminated by a light called hope.
"Elder Zhou, is what you said true? Junior Brother Chu really only spent a little over three months cultivating to this level?"
An elderly cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage couldn't help but ask excitedly.
The others also looked at Zhou Lu expectantly, their eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation.
Zhou Lu nodded slightly, then shook his head and sighed:
"Don't have too many illusions. He can enter the Foundation Establishment stage in three months, but he may not be able to enter the Golden Core stage within three years."
"The difficulty of cultivation is something others may not understand, but don't you know it?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's hearts.
It was chilling from beginning to end.
They also knew that Elder Zhou hadn't actually finished speaking.
Even if Chu Mo has the talent to reach the Golden Core stage in three years, he might not be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage even if he were given another thirty years.
The difficulty increases not just exponentially as you progress in cultivation, but tenfold or even a hundredfold.
"Let's prepare for the worst," Tang Jingxiang sighed softly, her eyes filled with bitterness.
Qin Potian, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them, calmly glanced at everyone, and said indifferently:
"There's no need for regret, everyone. Even though Lingyin Village has suffered heavy casualties, my Xuantian Sect still has its bloodline to carry on and will not perish. This is a fortunate thing!"
"Our ancestor was right; we have disappointed you."
Everyone bowed their heads in shame, and their hearts gradually regained their peace.
The Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators present were all people Qin Potian and his group had watched grow up. Although they did not have the title of master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple.
Qin Potian, in particular, had the highest cultivation level and provided the most guidance to these geniuses.
When he was a child, everyone called Qin Potian "Ancestor". Even after he entered the Golden Core stage and learned of the existence of the Xuan Tian Sect.
Many people still prefer to call him Ancestor rather than Elder.
In Lingyin Village, since there is no distinction between master and disciple, and everyone is not from the same ancestor, the way people address each other is very casual and chaotic.
But no matter how chaotic things get, the titles of Ancestor, Third Ancestor, Fifth Ancestor, and Ninth Ancestor are universally recognized and consistent.
It represents the most respected individuals.
At this time.
The ground competition has now reached its fifth match.
On both sides in the battle.
It was Nangong Xiu and Sun Hao, and the two had already exchanged more than ten blows.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the fighting style is already quite different from that of a Qi Refining cultivator.
Both their understanding of the Dao and their control over the power of heaven and earth have reached a new level.
Sun Hao's courage to challenge Nangong Xiu was not without its own strengths; he himself was an outstanding genius.
Being able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of thirty speaks volumes.
Seeing that Nangong Xiu's offensive continued unabated, Sun Hao fearlessly threw a punch at her.
A terrifying fist-force shot forward like a miniature sun.
