"Master, I've already broken through to the fourth level, the Tianyuan Realm!"
"If I can obtain that senior's inheritance this time, I'll have a chance to break through to the fifth level, the Shenyuan Realm. My strength will then see a qualitative leap."
"When the Sacred Grounds Competition comes in two months, I will definitely make a name for myself, and make everyone remember me, Xiao Yunting!"
In an inn, Xiao Yunting, covered in dust, was eating while chatting with Old Man Ming.
His gloomy face was now showing some smiles and composure.
It was clear that Xiao Yunting had made good progress recently, and it had boosted his confidence.
"If the address in that jade is real, and it holds the inheritance of an Enlightenment Realm expert, it will be enough to make your strength soar!"
"In two months, I can't guarantee you'll break through to the fifth level, the Shenyuan Realm, but even if you don't break through, you can still reach above the eighth level of the Tianyuan Realm."
"Combined with the secret techniques I'll give you, not many people in the Yuntian Sacred Grounds will be your match, but don't let your guard down."
"In cultivation, there's always someone better, and the sky is always higher. In a great power like the Yuntian Sacred Grounds, there are countless geniuses. If you can obtain opportunities, other geniuses might also get chances."
Old Man Ming reminded him.
Since leaving the Yuntian Sacred Grounds, Xiao Yunting's luck had been excellent.
Although he encountered some dangers, he always managed to turn them into opportunities, and each time he gained greatly.
One thing about Xiao Yunting hadn't changed: his sense of superiority!
But after the events in the Tianqing Sect's secret realm, Xiao Yunting had become much more reserved, not as impetuous as before. This made Old Man Ming very pleased, and he saw hope once more.
If Xiao Yunting continues like this, he will definitely become a strong person in the future, and then his wish will also be fulfilled.
"Master, don't worry, disciple naturally understands this. I'm not a greenhorn fresh out of the gate."
Xiao Yunting said.
Old Man Ming didn't pay any attention to this, casually offering a couple of compliments.
Xiao Yunting's conceited personality, and his high temper, were completely ingrained in his bones; it wouldn't be easy to change.
Only when he stumbled, suffered a great loss, and encountered a major setback, could Xiao Yunting undergo a transformation.
At this moment, the people in the inn were also discussing.
"Have you heard about what happened in Wanling City? This Yuntian Saint Son is truly a monster among the younger generation, easily suppressing the Demon Race's Snake Clan's Saint Son and the Giant Eagle Clan's genius, Ying Tianyi!"
"I've heard about it too. I hear those two Demon Race prodigies were completely helpless against this Yuntian Saint Son; they were suppressed and killed instantly!"
"Those two Demon Race prodigies aren't simple; they're the leading figures of their respective factions' younger generations. How could they be suppressed and killed instantly by a Saint Son from a major Sacred Ground?"
"Whether you believe it or not, that's the reality. Those two Demon Race prodigies were completely defenseless against the Yuntian Saint Son!"
"Is the Yuntian Saint Son really that powerful? No wonder he's hailed as the strongest prodigy in the Yuntian Sacred Grounds in tens of thousands of years!"
"But I've heard that the Snake Clan Saint Son from the Demon Race is about to break through to the seventh stage, the Enlightenment Realm, which is the peak of the Emperor Realm. Why was he so helpless?"
"It's said that this Yuntian Saint Son only recently broke through to the Emperor Realm. Could he really have the power to suppress and kill an Emperor Realm peak expert now?"
"You have to know that the Snake Clan Saint Son isn't just any prodigy. Even at the Emperor Realm peak, he can contend with Enlightenment Realm experts. Also, that Ying Tianyi isn't just any prodigy either. Their combined strength is even more terrifying. How could they be suppressed and killed instantly?"
The events in Wanling City had already spread, causing discussions throughout the Tianxuan world.
Upon hearing these things, Xiao Yunting, who had been eating, immediately lost his appetite.
"These guys are really something, messing with people's minds like this!"
Old Man Ming sighed helplessly in his heart.
Xiao Yunting now least wanted to hear news about Lin Luowei and Fang Chen. Both of them were now his enemies. Lin Luowei had almost killed him, so he directly considered her an enemy.
As for Fang Chen, although he hadn't had any contact with him, since he wanted to obtain the position of Yuntian Saint Son, he naturally considered Fang Chen an enemy.
Adding to that, the relationship between Lin Luowei and Fang Chen made him feel that Fang Chen had instigated Lin Luowei to attack him.
Because of these things, Xiao Yunting harbored deep resentment towards Fang Chen.
"Master, what's Fang Chen's current strength? How long will it take me to catch up to him?"
Xiao Yunting asked in a low voice.
It seems there's no way to avoid this after all, Old Man Ming thought, feeling helpless.
"The Snake Clan's Saint Son and Ying Tianyi aren't weak. Fang Chen, as a top-tier genius of the Demon Race, can easily suppress and kill them. His strength is at least at the fourth level of the Enlightenment Realm..."
"I don't know Fang Chen's true cultivation level. If he's only at the Emperor Realm, then his combat power is immeasurable. You could say he's invincible within the same realm, and you wouldn't be his match!"
Although he didn't want to discourage Xiao Yunting, that was the truth, and Old Man Ming felt helpless.
However, it was better for Xiao Yunting to understand the reality than to blindly go and get himself killed.
"What if his cultivation is at the Enlightenment Realm?"
Xiao Yunting continued to ask.
"If this Fang Chen's cultivation has reached the Enlightenment Realm, it means his cultivation speed is very fast. With your current cultivation speed, it's simply impossible to catch up to him."
Old Man Ming said with a complex expression.
In just a few months, he had gone from just entering the Emperor Realm to the Enlightenment Realm. Such a cultivation speed was unimaginable.
Even though Old Man Ming was knowledgeable, he had never seen a genius with such a fast cultivation speed.
The further one goes in cultivation, the slower the cultivation speed becomes, and the harder it is to break through.
"I believe I can surpass him!"
Xiao Yunting clenched his fists, his face full of confidence.
This wasn't just him being stubborn; it was what he truly believed.
For some reason, he was incredibly confident that he would surpass Fang Chen.
"I heard that this Yuntian Saint Son has already reached the ninth level of the Enlightenment Realm. I wonder if it's true?"
"I think so. I heard that after the deaths of their talented youths, the two major Demon Races sent two Enlightenment Realm geniuses to fight the Yuntian Saint Son."
"However, the results were the same: they were directly suppressed and killed by the Yuntian Saint Son!"
"Through this incident, we know that the Yuntian Saint Son's cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Enlightenment Realm, only a step away from the Return to Void Realm."
"I never would have thought the Yuntian Saint Son would be this terrifying!"
"It seems like the Yuntian Saint Son is only twenty years old. When I was twenty, I was only at the first level of the True Qi Realm, and he's already at the ninth level of the Enlightenment Realm!"
"It really is true what they say, comparing yourself to others just makes you miserable!"
Hearing the discussions around him, Xiao Yunting fell silent.
After a long while, Xiao Yunting finally asked, "Master, a twenty-year-old expert in the ninth level of the Enlightenment Realm, what level of genius is that considered?"
Old Man Ming also fell silent after hearing this, unsure how to answer.
