Chapter 455 It Can’t Be That Person
The river ahead.
It was silent.
The birds and beasts on the cliffs on both sides seemed to have sensed the chilly atmosphere and had long since flown away from the area.
At first glance, there was not a single ship on the river.
Only ten miles away, in the center of the river, there lies a small island.
This island.
This is the place where Lan Wensu and Lu Dong had an appointment to fight.
At this moment, there are quite a few people standing on some reefs on both sides of the island.
They are all Nascent Soul masters.
In this battle, cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to watch the battle. Even if they are Nascent Soul cultivators, they must be on the Hidden Dragon List. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators do not have this qualification. This is why the previous Nascent Soul cultivator was stopped.
There are also differences in strength between Nascent Souls.
The Nascent Soul experts on the Hidden Dragon List are at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul realm.
"This time Lan Wensu will challenge Lu Dong, it seems like he has a good chance."
"If he wasn't sure, Lan Wensu wouldn't have jumped several places at once to challenge Lu Dong. We are all on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, so we should know how fierce the ranking is."
The dozen or so Nascent Soul experts on the Hidden Dragon List who came to watch the battle were also discussing who would win this battle.
"The current Hidden Dragon Ranking is not like before. In the past, the Hidden Dragon Ranking was too watered down, and many people successfully jumped over a dozen places. But now, it's very difficult to move up one place. To be honest, I envy those seniors on the Hidden Dragon Ranking in the past."
The man who spoke expressed envy in his words, but the look in his eyes was full of disdain. Those who had been on the Hidden Dragon List in previous sessions had been completely replaced in the past twenty years.
The current Hidden Dragon List is composed of a group of brand new Nascent Soul powerhouses.
In the past, every time the Hidden Dragon List changed, the ranking would fluctuate. New people would come in and old people would leave, but the reason for leaving was mostly because they had already entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, or they were originally ranked at the bottom and fell off the list.
Most of those ranked at the top and in the middle will remain on the Hidden Dragon List after they are on the list, but there will be some changes in the rankings. As those ranked at the front enter the Spirit Transformation Realm, those behind will fill in, and those behind will be promoted again. It will not be like now, where there is a direct major replacement.
Someone on Lingwang has done a statistics, and among the original one hundred strong men on the Hidden Dragon List thirty years ago, except for twelve who entered the Spirit Transformation Realm and withdrew from the Hidden Dragon List seven years ago, the rest have all been replaced.
At that time, many monks in the spiritual network exclaimed that this matter was somewhat unbelievable.
Because according to reason, cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage is not something that can be achieved overnight, but rather is a process of hundreds of years of cultivation. It is impossible for a group of powerful Nascent Soul stage masters to suddenly emerge out of nowhere and replace the older group.
But unfortunately, such a strange thing happened.
A powerful god revealed a secret on the spiritual network.
The Nine Realms are about to return to their original wholeness. This is a gift from Heaven. Anyone who emerges at this time has obtained an opportunity and is valued by Heaven.
The reason for this is that after the Nine Realms return, the geniuses and strong men in each realm will start a new battle for luck, which can be regarded as the preliminary preparations for the overall return of the Nine Realms.
Those who benefited were not only those in the Northern Territory, but also the strong men in other realms.
The Nine Realms have returned, strong men have emerged, thousands of ships are competing, and a great era is about to come.
This statement was soon echoed and recognized by other powerful gods in the world of cultivators. Some low-level and young cultivators were extremely excited and were ready to try, all hoping to get a piece of the pie in this return to the Ninth Realm.
All factions have also begun to desperately cultivate young talents, and the contribution requirements for elixirs, treasures, and magical powers have been lowered, all in preparation for the upcoming great era.
"Hey, there's a ship coming, and it's actually a Jindan cultivator, he's really brave."
These Nascent Soul masters who were watching the battle withdrew their gazes from Lu Dong, who was sitting cross-legged on the island, and looked at the boats going upstream on the river below.
"The disciples of Danshan Sect probably think that with the support of the sect, Lu Dong dare not do anything to him."
"Humph, Danshan Sect is indeed powerful, but a Jindan cultivator is nothing in Danshan Sect. Lu Dong has already said that this area will be sealed off. If you still dare to come in, you will be punished even if you don't die."
"I heard that the young master of the Lu family has a close relationship with Senior Chu. Lu Dong should give this face and not make things too difficult for this disciple of Danshan Sect."
"A Jindan cultivator cannot represent Danshan Sect, let alone Senior Chu. The most important thing is that Lu Dong may not give this face."
A Yuanying man chuckled and said, "It is rumored that the young master of the Lu family has made a breakthrough in alchemy in recent years and has become a seventh-grade alchemist. A celebration banquet was held for this, but Senior Chu was not present."
"This doesn't mean anything. If I were Senior Chu, I wouldn't show up either." Another person sighed, "Back then, Senior Chu was the best in the entire Dan Domain in terms of both strength and alchemy. Now, seeing that someone who was not as good as him in the past has broken through to the seventh rank, and there must be many acquaintances at the celebration banquet, this gap is unbearable, so I simply decided to turn a blind eye."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's right. People are not afraid of being in a trough. What they fear is falling back to the bottom after being glorious. Especially in Senior Chu's case, it is impossible for him to rise again. He used to be the most dazzling person in the crowd. Now he is afraid that wherever he appears, he can only get the sympathetic eyes of others. This blow is definitely not small."
When these Yuanying masters were discussing, Yu Qing also saw them and felt their gazes. His scalp felt numb, but then he thought of his senior brother sitting in the cabin, and his back, which had been hunched, straightened up again.
The boat slowly approached the island and passed by these Nascent Soul powerhouses.
These Nascent Soul masters just looked at Yu Qing with amusement and did not try to stop him. They were just waiting to see the show.
On the island, a young man frowned. He had already ordered the blockade of this river area. This Jindan disciple from Danshan Sect actually dared to break in. It was clearly a lack of respect for him and he must be severely punished.
As for the relationship between Chu Ning of Danshan Sect and his sixth uncle, he didn't care. He was just a Jindan cultivator, and Danshan Sect would not stand up for him.
Moreover, when Sixth Uncle broke through to become a seventh-rank alchemist, a celebration banquet was held, but Chu Ning did not come. This made many people in the Lu family unhappy at the time. As a person with a short life span, Sixth Uncle would not really regard him as a close friend.
Thinking of this, Lu Dong raised his right hand, and a burst of spiritual power burst out, blasting towards the ship.
On the bow deck, Yu Qing felt the terrifying energy coming and his expression changed. He could not withstand the attack of the Nascent Soul master at all.
A light cough was heard in the cabin.
Cough cough!
This cough instantly dissipated Lu Dong's spiritual power. The faces of all the Nascent Soul cultivators at the scene changed instantly, and their eyes were fixed on the cabin!
There was actually someone in the cabin, which they had not sensed with their spiritual sense before.
This means that the people in the cabin are at least powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Which powerful incarnation master from Danshan Sect? It can't be that one, right?
It's almost the end of the month, please give me a ticket for next month
