586: Chapter 586: Yuan Tan

In the Jixu District, at a certain plaza.

Over twenty Star Lord Realm experts were gathered together in small groups. Most were members of the Sixth Heaven, possessing great strength, while quite a few were from the Fifth Heaven, also holding formidable power.

They had gathered here to wait for an expert of the Undying Realm to hold a lecture.

"Have you heard?"

"Those people who entered the Sixth Heaven this year are incredible."

"Morei? Ailar?"

Someone said.

"No, not them. I'm talking about the newcomers who passed the Ascension Battle to enter the Sixth Heaven. There are six in total."

"Six?"

"Buta, didn't the Sixth Heaven Ascension Battle only have 5 spots? Where did the sixth come from?"

The man named Buta laughed and said, "That's just how terrifying those people are. Because five of them were too strong, an extra spot was added."

"I have heard about this."

"One has a Special Physique, one comprehended a Tier 2 Domain, and two others cultivated powerful Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques. In short, none of them are pushovers."

Another member joined the conversation.

"A Special Physique?"

"Innate or Acquired?"

"Innate."

"Lucky guy."

"Who's to say otherwise?"

Buta said, "That's not just luck. That guy with the Special Physique fought his way to 15th place on Yunjing Mountain."

"What, 15th place?"

"That strong?"

Someone exclaimed.

In the Holy Land's Sixth Heaven Ascension Battle, Special Physiques had appeared before, but their initial rankings on Yunjing Mountain rarely broke into the top 30.

As senior members with high rankings who had been Cultivating in the Holy Land for so many years, who among them didn't have a few tricks up their sleeves?

How could a newcomer just enter the Sixth Heaven and charge into the top 30? Even the top 20 was rare.

Only Hendrick had managed it back in the day, and he was the only one in all these years.

"It's true. Givens is ranked 16th, and Lotte is ranked 17th."

Someone opened the virtual leaderboard and started checking it.

"Hmm? That's not right. Who is this?"

"Xiao Weiqing?"

"How is he ranked 8th?"

This person was dumbfounded.

"See it now?"

"This is the person I was talking about. He only has a Tier 1 Domain, yet he defeated White-Hair's Cloud Mirror Guard. You can imagine his strength. Among everyone here, if it really came to a fight, not many would be his match."

Buta sighed.

"Let me see, who is talking bad about me behind my back?"

A young man descended from the sky and landed on the plaza. The young man had short white hair, the kind that shone brightly.

"Buta, it's you again. Looking for a beating, are you?"

Buta chuckled, "Why beat me? Colin, if you want to beat someone, go beat that Xiao Weiqing."

"Xiao Weiqing? You just said he defeated my Cloud Mirror Guard?"

"Yeah."

"Look at the leaderboard yourself."

Colin said dismissively, "Not looking. It was left there half a year ago; if it was defeated, then it was defeated."

"I'm telling you all, can't you look forward? You've all been surpassed by the newcomers."

"It's embarrassing to say out loud."

Everyone: "..."

Suddenly.

A powerful aura swept over, and the scene instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked toward the end of the plaza.

A woman slowly walked out. The woman was expressionless, just walking step by step with focus, but it made all the Geniuses subconsciously stimulate their Source Power.

But.

The next moment, they relaxed again. They knew the woman would not harm them; what happened just now was merely a bodily reflex to the invisible pressure they were under.

"Greetings, Lady Leila."

Everyone said respectfully in unison.

"Hmm."

The cold voice spread across the plaza.

"Let's begin."

As the woman's voice fell, the Geniuses sat on the ground, waiting for her to lecture.

The woman looked around, her gaze sharp, sweeping over the people in the plaza.

She parted her red lips slightly and said, "Colin, if you cannot Cultivate a Special Physique this year, don't come to my class in the future."

Colin was startled upon hearing this, and then his face flushed with extreme shame.

He could clearly feel the strange gazes from those behind him, but he was helpless and didn't dare to lash out, so he had to lower his head and reply:

"Yes, Lady Leila."

That was indeed the case. Behind Colin was Buta, who was pursing his lips at this moment to keep himself from laughing.

No, he was very sad, Buta told himself internally.

However, his upturned mouth could still not be hidden.

"Buta, you are the same. Within three months, if you cannot Cultivate your Dharma Body to the third stage, don't come to my class in the future either."

Buta: "..."

Upon hearing his name, Buta's expression changed instantly, and he looked miserable.

"Yes, Lady Leila."

"And Demon, Nache..."

The woman called out four or five more names.

"Yes, Lady Leila."

"Hmm, let's begin the lecture. The path of the Dharma Body..."

The woman's voice became slightly gentler as she began to explain the essentials of Dharma Body Cultivation to these Geniuses. Everyone focused with all their might, not letting a single word escape them.

...

Meanwhile.

Xiao Weiqing rode his aircraft and finally arrived at the Jixu District, finding the location of the Source Pool.

The Source Pool was located in a valley.

Looking down from the sky, there were nearly a hundred mist pools of various sizes in the valley. The large ones had a diameter of several hundred meters, while the small ones had a diameter of over ten meters. These mists were all formed by the vaporization of Source Power.

It is said that this valley connects to the earth's vein source eye, and the Holy Land has inscribed magic formations to continuously absorb Source Power.

Xiao Weiqing descended and arrived at the entrance of the Source Pool.

The entrance was a gate with a strong sense of technology.

Two experts were guarding the gate, one male and one female.

"Newcomer?"

The short-haired man among them asked.

Xiao Weiqing was a bit surprised, but he still nodded slightly.

"Haha~~"

"You don't have to be surprised. The people who come here are Geniuses among Geniuses, basically members of the Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven. I know most of them, but this is my first time seeing you."

The other woman also said, "You must have entered the Holy Land through the Ascension Battle, right? A Fifth Heaven member? Or Sixth Heaven?"

"Sixth Heaven."

"Oh? Not bad." The short-haired man praised, "Swipe your virtual ID on that instrument. Pay attention to the time; once your free quota is used up, you will need to spend credits."

"By the way, a reminder: the time starts counting from the moment you cross this door."

"Alright, understood. Thank you."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, walked up, swiped his virtual ID on the instrument by the door, and stepped inside.

The short-haired man let out a soft exclamation when he saw Xiao Weiqing's information:

"Three hours of free quota?"

"What's this kid's background?"

In the Holy Land, regardless of the aspect, the stronger one's strength and the higher one's comprehensive ranking, the better the resources, permissions, and various special treatments one enjoys.

Xiao Weiqing had a three-hour free quota on his first visit to the Source Pool, which speaks volumes about his strength.

"Found it. Xiao Weiqing, comprehensive ranking 24?" The woman exclaimed, "Yunjing Mountain ranking... 8th?"

The short-haired man heard this and quickly opened the leaderboard on his virtual interface, "A newcomer, this is a seedling for the Seventh Heaven."

"Yeah, definitely. Terrifying."

"Good heavens, he even has Level 7 clearance. He has already been noticed by the Holy Land."

The short-haired man wanted to continue checking Xiao Weiqing's information but found that he could only see basic information. When he wanted to check other details, he was told he had insufficient clearance.
