Unlocking the Innate Kidney Body, Both Immortals and Demons Cried!

21: Contradictory freak!The people of Profound Heaven Dao Sect on their Immortal Ship saw the Immortal Ships of the other Seven Sects, and naturally, the people of the Seven Sects also saw their Immortal Ship.

Eight different Immortal Ships flew towards the same place.

It was a mountain peak that had been leveled by a single sword strike; its smooth summit was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people without feeling cramped. The eight Immortal Ships landed on Flat Top Peak, with no sense of crowding.

”Sect Leader Wen, it’s been a year, I trust you’ve been well!”

As Wen Yuheng led the Disciples of Profound Heaven Dao Sect down from their Immortal Ship, he was met by Sect Leader Zhao Shengdao of Five Elements Sect, who approached him with his Disciples, full of vigor, to greet him.

”Sect Leader Zhao, you look even more energetic after a year apart.”

Wen Yuheng smiled and greeted him.

”In recent years, my Five Elements Sect has been quite fortunate, taking in many exceptionally talented Disciples. As their Sect Head, I am naturally pleased, and when one is pleased, one’s spirit improves.”

Zhao Shengdao laughed heartily, ”And this year, it’s finally my Five Elements Sect’s turn to host the Burial Immortal Valley Treasure Hunt! My spirit must be well-maintained, lest I, as Sect Head, lose face for my Disciples. Come, come, everyone, this is Sect Leader Wen Yuheng, Sect Head of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, the number one Sect in the world, whom I often speak of to you all. Hurry and greet Sect Leader Wen!”

The hundred-plus Disciples behind Zhao Shengdao stepped forward uniformly and bowed with clasped fists to Wen Yuheng.

”Disciples of Five Elements Sect, greet Sect Leader Wen.”

”No need to be so polite. Indeed, just as your Sect Head said, each of you is exceptionally talented!”

Wen Yuheng’s gaze fell upon the leader at the very front.

This fifteen-year-old leader of the Five Elements Sect appeared, like everyone else, to have just achieved Foundation Establishment, but the True Essence within him was incredibly abundant, its quantity even comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase.

Noticing Wen Yuheng’s gaze, Zhao Shengdao, quite proudly, took the initiative to introduce him, ”This is Luo Junjie, the new Disciple leader for my Five Elements Sect this year. How about it, isn’t his strength impressive? Don’t let his recent Foundation Establishment fool you; this kid has eaten Immortal Plants and Spirit Medicine since he was young, so the True Essence in his body is far more abundant and powerful than that of Disciples at the same stage. I hope he can continue to win first place for the Five Elements Sect this year.”

Zhao Shengdao was not at all polite. After showing off, he said to Wen Yuheng with a beaming smile, ”Sect Leader Wen, where is your Profound Heaven Dao Sect’s leader for this year? You’ve lost for five consecutive years; this year’s leader should be more capable than before, right? If your Profound Heaven Dao Sect still lacks talent, my Five Elements Sect might just take your title as the number one Sect in the world... Hahahaha...”

Zhao Shengdao laughed as if he were joking, but Wen Yuheng knew he certainly wasn’t.

At this moment, Su Yang voluntarily stepped forward from behind and bowed to Zhao Shengdao, ”Su Yang, Disciple of Profound Heaven Dao Sect, greets Sect Leader Zhao.”

”Hmm...?”

Zhao Shengdao, who had been laughing heartily, instantly stopped smiling the moment he saw Su Yang.

A flicker of astonishment crossed his triumphant eyes, and then he frowned, scrutinizing Su Yang before him, ”Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase...!? How is this possible! Everyone achieved Foundation Establishment on the Day of Spirit Abundance, which was less than ten days ago. How could anyone go from Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase to Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase in less than ten days!? Sect Leader Wen, you wouldn’t have brought a Disciple who had already achieved Breakthrough to lead, would you?”

Upon hearing ”Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase,” even Luo Junjie couldn’t help but look at Su Yang with curiosity.

He had thought he was the strongest Disciple among the Eight Sects for this year’s Burial Immortal Valley trip, but he never expected someone to come to Burial Immortal Valley with Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase strength.

Since Su Yang dared to step forward himself, he had already prepared a response to the doubts.

He explained neither humbly nor arrogantly, ”Junior is not a current year’s Disciple. Junior is untalented; I should have come to Burial Immortal Valley three years ago, but I failed to achieve Foundation Establishment at the age of 15 and only successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Stage on this year’s Day of Spirit Abundance.”

”Junior knows his dullness; in the three years I failed to achieve Breakthrough, I Cultivated diligently every day, not daring to be lax for a moment. It was also Junior’s good fortune that after achieving Breakthrough this year, my strength is a little higher than that of Disciples who achieved Breakthrough normally. Fortunately, Sect Head did not abandon me and allowed Junior to be this year’s leader.”

Zhao Shengdao was stunned by this explanation.

Is this just a little higher?

This is infinitely higher, alright!!!

Even if he achieved Breakthrough at 15 and entered Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase at 18, he would still be a Genius among Geniuses.

Looking at Su Yang, who was clearly more mature than other Disciples of the same period, Zhao Shengdao felt he couldn’t quite understand this kid. He achieved Breakthrough three years after turning 15, and then immediately entered Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase. It was too contradictory!

He could only imagine that this kid had been consuming various Immortal Plants and Spirit Medicine fiercely during the three years he failed to achieve Breakthrough, which resulted in the phenomenal increase in strength of achieving Breakthrough again in a short period after the initial Breakthrough.

Wen Yuheng, standing by, nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Su Yang’s neither humble nor arrogant explanation.

He neither disgraced the Sect nor did he explain his strength, which far surpassed his peers, very appropriately. Not bad! He is a promising talent!

”Old Zhao, if you don’t believe me, I can show you Su Yang’s Sect entry records.”

Wen Yuheng dared to make Su Yang the leader, naturally, he was prepared to face doubts.

At this time, the Sect Heads of Yu Ling Sect, Sacred Sword Sect, Immortal Shadow Sect, Medicine King Valley, Tiangong Pavilion, and Heavenly Mystery Pavilion also arrived with their Disciples.

Wen Yuheng directly called out to the others to come over, ”The situation of this Disciple of my Sect is indeed quite special. To dispel your doubts, let’s all come and take a look together. This is his record from eight years ago when he entered the Sect, which records his growth process after entering the Sect. Everyone, take a look, take a look. Here, you see, at 15, he failed to achieve Foundation Establishment; at 16, he failed to achieve Foundation Establishment; at 17, he failed to achieve Foundation Establishment; at 18, he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment! This is the record from the recent Foundation Establishment Ceremony. Are there any other questions?”

Sect records were not recorded with paper and pen, but rather embedded in special Spirit Stones, which could only be recorded and not modified.

Seeing that Wen Yuheng had even brought out the Sect records, which should not be easily shown to others, the other Seven Sects had no further grounds for doubt.

This also made the people of the Seven Sects look at Su Yang with even stranger eyes.

Neither the seven Sect Heads nor the Disciples of the Seven Sects could figure out whether this Su Yang would be a powerful competitor or an ordinary person weak enough to be ignored.

Luo Junjie of Five Elements Sect also couldn’t figure out whether Su Yang was his biggest competitor or an insignificant opponent, but he was clearly very confident in his own strength and took the initiative to greet Su Yang.

”You’re Su Yang, right? I hope you’re a Genius and not an idiot, that would be more interesting, don’t you think?”

Su Yang: ???

This kid is a bit arrogant.

Su Yang smiled calmly, ”Whether I’m a Genius or an idiot, I don’t think you need to consider me a competitor. There are many Magical Artifacts in Burial Immortal Valley, and good Magical Artifacts aren’t just one or two. There’s no need for us to fight over them, is there?”

Luo Junjie, however, said, ”Indeed, there’s no need to fight over Magical Artifacts, but you should also know that Disciples of the Eight Sects who obtain ancient Magical Artifacts in Burial Immortal Valley also have the opportunity to enter the deep mountains near Burial Immortal Valley to find their own Spirit Beasts in advance. Powerful Spirit Beasts are limited, and it’s possible we might set our sights on the same Spirit Beast. If that happens, I will certainly not be polite.”

Although Luo Junjie was young, his Aura was very strong.

He possessed the unique pride, confidence, and aggressiveness characteristic of a scion of a noble family.

”Since you’ve put it that way, I won’t be polite when that time comes either.”

Su Yang said indifferently.

Luo Junjie smiled confidently and no longer wasted words with Su Yang, returning to the Five Elements Sect’s team.

The Sect Heads of the Eight Great Sects exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then, as the host of this year’s Burial Immortal Valley event, Sect Leader Zhao Shengdao of Five Elements Sect slowly flew into the air, standing in the Void Realm, overlooking the Eight Great Sects below and their Disciples.

”Since the Eight Great Sects have all arrived, I believe the Disciples of each Sect are already eager to enter Burial Immortal Valley and find their destined Magical Artifacts.”

”I know you’re very eager, but please don’t rush. Before you officially enter Burial Immortal Valley, as this year’s host, I have a few words I’d like to say to the Disciples of the Eight Sects and the Sect Heads of the other Seven Sects...”

The Disciples of the Eight Sects thought nothing of these words, perhaps just some instructions.

However, the Sect Heads of the Seven Sects on Flat Top Peak all frowned slightly upon hearing this. What did this old fellow mean? What did he want to say to them?
