477: Heading to Ayutthaya

The Human Race had a vast population.

However, cultivation resources were limited.

For those who relied on time to slowly grind their way up, they might as well forget it and stop wasting cultivation resources.

Return to a small city and use your Soul Refining Realm cultivation to establish a Family and branch out well.

Perhaps a Genius might even appear among your descendants.

True Geniuses would be granted Cultivation Techniques to continue their cultivation.

If one was fortunate enough to reach Yangguan Realm Perfection before a certain age,

Then—you would receive a certification to head to a main city for the grand examination competition.

This would determine whether you were qualified to obtain the Cultivation Technique for the next stage.

Direct.

Cruel.

Involution.

This was the Tianyuan Continent.

But this method also decided one thing: as long as you had enough Talent, you would never be buried in obscurity.

Whether you were invested in by a small city at the start or cultivated bitterly on your own,

As long as you reached the Soul Refining Realm, you could go to a great city.

If no one in a small city had the Wisdom Eye to recognize a pearl, there would surely be someone in a great city.

As long as you received investment resources, and as long as your natural Talent was terrifying enough,

Then—you could advance by leaps and bounds.

Eventually, heading to the main city would be just around the corner!

On the continent, the Demon Race's natural Talent was tyrannical.

The Human Race relied on this cultivation mode and system to continuously produce new experts.

Only then could they suppress the Demon Race on the continent.

Sustainable development.

In the end, it possessed more war potential than the Demon Race's 'survival of the fittest' model!

—"If it's still like this, then it's quite simple."

Ye Su said.

After hearing this, Ye Tianji didn't know how to respond.

Indeed.

This kind of natural Talent was simply unimaginable.

According to the Human Race's nurturing method on the Tianyuan Continent, Ye Su's rise was only a matter of time.

The time spent on the road was not short.

After Ye Su roughly understood the operational mode of this world,

He immediately entered the future perspective.

He began to inspect his Alliance;

"Speaking of which, have any of you started recultivating according to this mode?"

"Of course!"

A future version of himself said.

Ye Su was the main body.

With his every move, countless variations would appear in the future.

And his future selves would also see great improvements in this main timeline's cultivation mode.

At least,

Within this short day, someone had already broken through the Tianshu Realm and charged into the Yangguan Realm.

Progress was extremely fast.

Of course, this kind of progress was a huge benefit to Ye Su.

After all, the experience of predecessors was a good thing.

If there were any problems in cultivation, they would be clear with just a question.

"There's a situation."

Suddenly, a future version of himself said;

"In Tanyang City, a suspected Protagonist has been seen!"

At these words,

Everyone immediately became tense.

The Protagonist!

The chosen super Genius of this main timeline.

If things went according to the thoughts of the Dragon Sovereign and Sword Master, this Protagonist would become an Absolute Supreme Expert in the future.

"A collision is still unavoidable."

Ye Su gave a bitter smile.

"No need to worry."

Someone spoke up;

"A Protagonist doesn't become a Supreme Expert just by lying down. If that were the case, what would they even be choosing? They'd just designate someone and pull them up directly."

"Furthermore, those Immortal Beings watching this world will also cause trouble within it."

"We'll wait and see."

"Perhaps we can even pull a bait-and-switch."

Ye Su nodded.

There was an unwritten rule here.

That is, there is at most only one slot for an Absolute Supreme Expert!

Moreover, the Protagonist is not omnipotent.

Once the Protagonist takes the wrong path or goes astray, those big shots above will also give up on them.

Wasn't the Universe abandoned?

So,

This isn't a pre-determined game.

It's a game of competition.

'Supreme Experts, Immortal Beings—'

'The collision of undercurrents in this world is much more tense than in the Universe.'

Ye Su smiled.

Then let's see—who will step up and take the lead!

The future was correcting errors.

The true collision would take place in Tanyang City.

Ye Su lowered his eyes to rest,

Waiting to enter Tanyang City.

—One day later.

After traveling a full ten thousand miles,

The large carriage finally arrived at Tanyang City.

Ye Su opened his eyes.

"What a massive city!"

A great city, this was a great city.

The city walls were hundreds of meters high, like a mountain range.

What was even more terrifying was that on the incredibly wide surfaces of these walls, endless Formation runes were carved.

As the Formation runes flickered now,

They made this great city look like a giant beast.

If it stood up in the next second, Ye Su wouldn't doubt it at all.

"After the Tianshu Realm, one can learn other methods."

Ye Su thought to himself;

"Cultivation, Formation, Artifact Refining, Alchemy—and so on."

"There's even painting, the scholarly path, military Formations—"

"However, by comparison, these are all just minor paths. Of course, it's not impossible for someone to stand out through a minor path and achieve the Great Dao!"

Ye Tianji paid some fees at the city gate and proved his identity, thus allowing them to enter the city.

Because the grand competition was approaching,

There were many young people in the city right now.

Each of them was high-spirited, filling the city with a youthful aura.

Ye Su's appearance also drew quite a bit of attention.

But because of the calm, emotionless expression on Ye Su's face, people sighed;

"This one looks like an old man. At such an age, he's still coming to participate in the grand competition!"

Someone said.

Ye Su was stunned.

Are they talking about me?

"Exactly, a young man without a shred of youthful spirit..."

"Forget it, probably some small-city aristocratic Family. It's not easy for them to produce someone qualified for the grand competition."

"True, without the subsequent Cultivation Techniques, it's hard to take another step forward. These families have their own difficulties."

"But in the end, he's just a stepping stone for the likes of us..."

"Eh... that's... the Yuan Family's Colorful Phoenix!"

"Tsk tsk, a favorite for the top spot in the competition!"

Suddenly,

The crowd grew excited all at once.

Ye Su also turned to look.

A favorite for the top spot?

Could it be?

The Protagonist.

And it's a woman, interesting.

In the distance, there was a luxurious large carriage pulled by a divine and handsome exotic beast, the kind Ye Su couldn't name.

Upon it sat a woman.

Her appearance was transcendent; even Ye Su was momentarily dazed after a single glance.

Facing the crowded masses and the sea of cheers,

The woman gave a charming smile.

This made the crowd even more frenzied.

Ye Su smiled faintly.

Damn, Charm Techniques!

This person probably isn't the Protagonist.

It seems the true Protagonist will only be discovered during the competition.

Colorful Phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly as she scanned the surroundings with her peripheral vision.

Soon, her gaze fell upon the Ye Family's ordinary large carriage.

She clearly remembered.

There was a man on it who had snapped out of it after just one look at her.

A smile played on her lips.

It seems this is a formidable opponent!

Little did she know,

Ye Su didn't even take her seriously.
