I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 1690 - 1690 The Gathering of Heroes

1690 The Gathering of Heroes

“I heard that Wang Yifan personally intervened in the competition this year. Looks like the champion will probably be Yuwen Xing. The prizes are simply fantastic.”

“Sigh, these people’s talents are terrifying. In addition, they’ve even obtained the recognition of the true disciples. Once the true disciples interfere, probably no one else but their chosen person will become the winner.”

Everyone discussed animatedly. However, the person that everyone thought the most highly of was naturally Yuwen Xing. After all, if one didn’t have outstanding talent, it would be difficult for an inner disciple to make a true disciple look at him in a different light. Moreover, under the circumstances that these people were extremely talented and were fully nurtured by the true disciples, there was no doubt how terrifying they were. Judging from the past situation, as long as there was such a person, it was very rare for anyone else to become the champion. It was almost impossible.

“Yuwen Xing has only been in the sect for three years, and he’s going to become the champion of the competition on his first try.”

“What’s the big deal about the old disciples? The new disciples are getting stronger and stronger. I’m afraid that the top ten rankings will change. Don’t you know that there are two particularly powerful people among the new disciples this year? Hua Xianyuan is said to have a special physique, and his cultivation was unmatched by those at the same level. Some people even say that he has a chance of getting into the top ten in his first year. And then there’s Chu Yunfan, who had just defeated Su Hongchang, the top ten of a previous batch. Su Hongchang’s cultivation is unfathomable, yet he was easily defeated.”

“Exactly. Su Hongchang has completely fallen from grace. He probably won’t be in the mood to participate in the competition. I reckon that after this time, he’ll go into seclusion and try his best to break through to the Abstract Interpretation Stage to avenge his humiliation.”

“Yes, these people are only one step away from the Abstract Interpretation Stage, but they are not in a hurry to break through. They want to lay a solid foundation and polish it. Su Hongchang probably won’t continue to endure it. As long as Chu Yunfan is still alive, he won’t be able to regain his face.”

“But I heard that Chu Yunfan hasn’t stepped into the Abstract Observance Stage yet.”

“If that’s really the case, then it’ll be interesting. Yuwen Xing, who Senior Wang Yifan thinks highly of, Hua Xianyuan, who has a special constitution and has astonishing fortuitous encounters, and Chu Yunfan, whose cultivation hasn’t even stepped into the Abstract Observance Stage yet, who crushed Su Hongchang at the Abstract Observance Stage. This batch is truly interesting!”

Many inner and fringe disciples were discussing the competitors who were participating in the inner sect competition. They people become the topic of their leisure time.

In his courtyard, Chu Yunfan opened his eyes. He had heard the bell ringing.

‘A month has passed already? And I’m just one step away from making another breakthrough too.’ Chu Yunfan felt a little regretful. He felt that the opportunity to break through was right in front of him. He was about to go from the Abstract Stage to the Abstract Observance Stage. He was probably the first disciple who dared to participate in the inner sect competition with his Abstract Stage cultivation.

‘Well, it’s time then. After joining the Flying Celestials for half a year, it’s time for everyone to know who I am.’ Chu Yunfan stood up and stepped on a beam of light, heading straight for the huge light door in the sky.

Chu Yunfan was only one of the countless streams of light that crossed the sky. He could keep a low profile and no one noticed him. Soon, he passed the door, and behind it a huge arena and circles of seats around them. On these seats, were faintly discernible figures. Ordinary people couldn’t see them as if they were being blocked by something. However, Chu Yunfan could see them. They were the sect’s elite disciples.

Each of these people carried a terrifying aura. Every single one of them was high and mighty as they looked at the thousands of inner disciples who were going to participate in the competition. However, there would only be one champion in the end, and only a few people would be able to stand out.

Only a small number of people were qualified to join the elite disciples circle. The Abstract Observance Stage and the Abstract Interpretation Stage seemed like only one step away from each other, but not everyone could step into it.

Disciples like Su Hongchang continuously polished their foundation to make their foundation even more solid. This was to increase their chances of breaking through. There was no guarantee of one though. Only those who had walked far beyond the peak of the Abstract Observance Stage and had an unbelievably solid foundation could step into the Abstract Interpretation Stage.

Therefore, these elite disciples had the right to look at these inner disciples from above. After all, they had stood out from the inner disciples. It was also here that they had once leaped over the dragon gate and become elite disciples who were truly valued by the sect.

Ordinary true disciples would not care about a competition of this level, but elite disciples were different. Many of them had rushed back to participate. There were many fan favorites who participated in the competition, but their qualifications were far inferior to the followers selected by true disciples.

These people sat in a circle in the huge arena, but it didn’t seem crowded. Chu Yunfan’s gaze shifted to these inner disciples, and he saw that these several thousand disciples were truly terrifying. They were at least intermediate Observers, and there weren’t that many of them. Most of them were late Observers, and there were even quite a few peak Observers. Although these people were hiding their strength, how could they hide it from Chu Yunfan?

From among them, Chu Yunfan soon spotted Hua Xianyuan. He was dressed in a green robe and stood alone among the crowd. No one dared to stand near him and kept their distance from him.

On the other side, Chu Yunfan sensed a murderous aura. He turned around and saw a tall young man staring at him with undisguised killing intent. The killing intent in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest. On the contrary, there was a hint of provocation in his eyes as if he was looking at his prey.

Chu Yunfan looked over and met the man’s gaze, but he didn’t care. The aura on this person’s body was much stronger than an ordinary peak Observer, and he was only half a step away from stepping into the Abstract Interpretation Stage.

This was clearly Yuwen Xing.
