565: Keep up the good work, spreading the Dharma!

"No, that's not right."

As the surprised words escaped, Zhou Chuanfa, surrounded by radiant light and various Spells evolving within it above the water, felt a stir in his heart.

He didn't sense any other unconventional methods. As a Zhou Family Disciple, although he didn't cultivate the Dao of Beast Taming, he knew quite a bit about it.

"How did you do that?"

Feeling the converging auras, Zhou Chuanfa couldn't understand and asked Zhou Chuanqi.

"Hehe~"

"This is my talent. I can command Yao Beasts within a certain range to serve me."

Zhou Chuanqi chuckled and explained.

"Is he even human anymore...?"

Among the converging Yao Beasts, there were even Golden Core Yao Kings.

Even if his talent and aptitude were high, he wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand against so many Yao Beasts and Yao Kings, unless he took down Zhou Chuanqi before these Yao Beasts arrived.

However, Zhou Chuanqi's own strength was also extremely formidable, so this was clearly impossible to achieve.

No wonder the Grand Elder told me to go to the Upper Realm... Just within the main Family in the Upper Realm, there's such a Prodigy. I believe in the vast Upper Realm, among the various powerful forces, there must be countless Geniuses and Prodigies. My horizons are still too narrow... Zhou Chuanfa's thoughts raced.

"No need to compare, I am not your opponent."

Feeling the auras already arriving at the edge of the water, Zhou Chuanfa looked at the youth with heterochromatic eyes, dispersing the radiant light and constantly changing Spells around him. To continue fighting would only be to humiliate himself.

"Hmm?"

In the air opposite, seeing Zhou Chuanfa so decisively give up on further sparring, Zhou Chuanqi was slightly stunned and thought even more highly of Zhou Chuanfa. No one is always victorious, and being able to accept defeat is also a manifestation of a firm Dao Heart.

After a moment of surprise, the blue-black light in Zhou Chuanqi's eyes dissipated.

A thought, following the last connection, spread in all directions.

"Roar!"

Roars echoed, but this time the roars were different from before.

Within moments, the Demonic Qi began to recede, returning to its origin.

"Hoo~"

By the water's edge, the figures watching from the air and treetops all breathed a sigh of relief.

They had just thought their own Spirit Beasts had rioted, making them all nervous, but unexpectedly, peace was restored in just a short while.

"Just now... it seems Brother Chuanfa admitted defeat..."

"Was that commotion just now caused by that person?"

Some Zhou Family Disciples from the Lower Realm had dull eyes, connecting the recent changes, and an unbelievable guess flashed through their minds.

"How is that possible? How long has he been here? How could he have controlled our Spirit Beasts...?"

Someone subconsciously retorted.

Only the few 'Chuan' generation Disciples from the main Family in the Upper Realm showed no surprise in their eyes; it seemed all of this was within their expectations.

"Hehe~"

"Chuanqi's monstrous talent is indeed hard to believe even when it's right in front of you..."

A 'Chuan' generation Disciple from the main Family, who was clearly very familiar with Zhou Chuanqi, chuckled lightly. However, this laughter was not schadenfreude, but rather a sense of awe.

"Chuanfa, will you come to the Upper Realm with us this time?"

Above the water.

Zhou Chuanqi, whose eyes showed no particular light, called out to the somewhat silent Zhou Chuanfa opposite him.

"The Upper Realm is too vast. Even within the Li Luan Sea Region under the Family's jurisdiction, there are many individuals with powerful talents. Among Cultivators of the same generation, even I, if I don't use my talent, may not be able to suppress all of them."

Seeing Zhou Chuanfa not respond, Zhou Chuanqi continued, as young figures flashed through his mind. These were all Prodigy Cultivators from the Void Refining major forces within the Thousand Island Alliance who wielded the thousand star token.

Since their talents were revealed, they received the best resources, the best guidance, and the best Legacy, walking the most correct path from the very beginning.

Therefore, even if Geniuses appeared in smaller forces or among Loose Cultivators, even if they could initially stand on par, it would become increasingly difficult to contend with these individuals of profound heritage later on.

Those who could be compared to them were the top Disciples from other major forces.

"There are so many Geniuses comparable to you?"

Indeed, as soon as these words were spoken, a brilliant light appeared in Zhou Chuanfa's eyes as he looked towards Zhou Chuanqi.

Hehe, I knew you'd be moved... Zhou Chuanqi secretly rejoiced, but his face showed no emotion, nodding with a slightly solemn expression.

"I will go."

Receiving a positive reply, Zhou Chuanfa felt invigorated. He flew forward, arriving beside Zhou Chuanqi.

The two flew together towards the edge of the water.

"Who is the most talented Cultivator in the Chaotic Sea you mentioned?"

A moment later, Zhou Chuanfa suddenly asked the heterochromatic-eyed youth beside him.

"Are you referring to Cultivators of our generation?"

Zhou Chuanqi asked subconsciously.

"No, all Cultivators."

Zhou Chuanfa's soft words entered Zhou Chuanqi's ears, causing Zhou Chuanqi to pause, turn his head to look at Zhou Chuanfa, his eyes slightly peculiar.

"In the Chaotic Sea, besides those exalted powerful figures, currently, there is only one person who holds the title of the number one Genius in the Chaotic Sea."

"However, if you set her as your goal, then... it will probably be very difficult."

Zhou Chuanqi hesitated.

"There really is such an existence!"

Zhou Chuanfa's eyes blazed with light. As a Prodigy, how could he easily concede to others? But in the powerful Chaotic Sea, there was a universally acknowledged figure of such caliber, how could this not be exhilarating?

"Who is he?"

What in this world isn't difficult? Zhou Chuanfa was not someone who would easily admit defeat. Even against the monstrous Zhou Chuanqi before him, he wasn't truly convinced.

"This..."

You'll naturally know when you go to the Upper Realm... Zhou Chuanqi hesitated, originally intending to say this, but seeing Zhou Chuanfa unmoved and eager to find out.

"That person is the Little Ancestor."

Zhou Chuanqi didn't keep him in suspense, speaking softly. He was quite terrified of the Little Ancestor; high in seniority, supremely talented, extremely powerful, and also in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, enforcing rules strictly. Even high-ranking members of the clan dared not casually violate clan rules. When he was young, he had relied on his extraordinary talent and arrogance to make several mistakes.

The elders of the Beast Taming Hall had cared for him well and never truly punished him, which made his younger self even more audacious.

However, after one incident escalated to the Little Ancestor, who had emerged from seclusion, he was severely disciplined.

"Hiss!"

Zhou Chuanqi shivered, recalling the unbearable past, and grew even more fearful of that purple figure.

"This..."

Hearing the Little Ancestor's name, Zhou Chuanfa's face fell.

He clicked his tongue, wanting to say something but not speaking it.

Although he had never met the Little Ancestor, the clan's chronicles clearly recorded the Little Ancestor's deeds from childhood to adulthood and the speed of her cultivation growth.

Even when the Zhou Family had not yet fully risen, under those resource conditions, the Little Ancestor's cultivation speed was slightly faster than his.

If their identities were swapped, he estimated he wouldn't have been able to achieve that level.

"The Little Ancestor has already achieved the Nascent Soul Venerable realm."

"Chuanfa, you can do it."

Zhou Chuanqi patted Zhou Chuanfa's shoulder, a look of encouragement on his face.
