161: The Myriad Phenomena Pavilion is in turmoil! An impending challenge is on the horizon!

"In that case, we won't disturb your cultivation!"

Qing Xuan laughed heartily, then led the many Disciples of the Qingfeng Dharma Lineage,

turning into streaks of light and quickly leaving Qingling Peak.

Having taken the initiative to accept the challenge of this group of Divine Ruins Realm experts, they naturally couldn't afford any negligence!

Their staying here would only interfere with Zhang Yang's cultivation.

Watching the people of the Qingfeng Dharma Lineage depart, Zhang Yang shook his head slightly.

He was wondering if he needed to ask his Revered Master,

to let him return to the Southern Region once to bring back Xie Chonghe and Revered Master?

After everyone left, Zhang Yang resumed his cultivation.

Meanwhile, the entire Nourishing Heart Lineage was in an absolute uproar!

Countless people had seen and learned about this challenge and its rules.

"Outrageous! Is the Divine Son looking down on the prodigies of our Nourishing Heart Lineage?"

The moment they saw the rules, someone smashed a stone table beside them in anger and roared.

Which of the Genius Disciples of the Nourishing Heart Lineage wasn't treated as an honored guest in the outside world?

When had they ever been so slighted!

"Hmph! I want to see for myself just how brilliant this Divine Son is to dare look down on so many of our fellow Disciples from the Nourishing Heart Lineage!"

A seventh-level Divine Ruins Realm Disciple, with the faint Aura of a Domain fluctuating around him, had a cold look in his eyes.

With a cold snort, he signed up without hesitation.

"Quick! Hurry and notify Senior Brother Yi Chen, who is still venturing through the Martial Refining Tower, to return! The prodigies of our Nourishing Heart Lineage cannot be so lightly regarded!" another person couldn't help but shout!

"That's right! And Senior Brother Liu Qingyuan! Both of them are Vice Pagoda Master level figures of the Martial Refining Tower!"

"We must have them rush back to let this Divine Son understand what true Genius heritage is!"

"Zhang Yang! I was already dissatisfied with you taking so many top-tier Heaven And Earth Treasures from the lineage's treasury!"

"But due to your status as the Divine Son, it wasn't easy for me to speak out!"

"Now that there's an opportunity for a public challenge, you've even set such loose rules!"

"You are simply inviting humiliation!"

"I'm afraid not only I, but even those Genius Disciples still in the Martial Refining Tower will rush back!"

"When the time comes, defeat after defeat will be waiting for you!"

"I'll see how you'll have the face to continue sitting in the position of Divine Son then!"

Deep within the Nourishing Heart Lineage, Qian Fan, who was at the eighth level of the Divine Ruins Realm and had also condensed his own Domain,

stared at the details of the challenge rules personally announced by the two Vice Branch Masters,

a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as a hint of resentment flickered in his eyes.

This dissatisfaction had long been building up in the hearts of many geniuses!

The Nourishing Heart Lineage had never produced a Divine Son!

The reason was that the threshold for branch master Xin Buxiu to accept Disciples was simply too high!

Even those top Disciples who had reached the top of a sub-tower in the Martial Refining Tower,

whose talent and strength would definitely be enough to become Divine Sons or Saintesses in other major powers of the Central Continent,

were always destined to have no connection with the title of Divine Son in the Nourishing Heart Lineage because of the presence of Xin Buxiu!

Although their treatment was still top-tier, no different from an ordinary Divine Son,

they were originally arrogant geniuses. In addition to pursuing strength and a long Lifespan through such desperate cultivation,

wasn't it also to prove their own value?

The status of Divine Son, representing the Sect's highest honor,

was an indispensable part of that proof!

However, branch master Xin Buxiu's gaze had never lingered on them.

This feeling of being ignored had long buried a deep sense of defiance in their hearts.

As early as when the news of Zhang Yang becoming the Divine Son of the Nourishing Heart Lineage arrived,

many Genius Disciples within the lineage had already developed a grudge.

Not to mention that this Zhang Yang had taken many precious Heaven And Earth Treasures from the treasury within a month,

yet had made no contribution to the lineage.

Most importantly, he had never shown amazing strength or peerless Aptitude sufficient to match the consumption of those resources!

If not for the suppression of branch master Xin Buxiu's authority,

they would have long wanted to give this parachuted Divine Son a harsh lesson!

"I didn't expect you to be so unwise as to set such loose conditions."

The more Qian Fan thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt it was.

"For this challenge, Senior Brothers Liu Qingyuan and Yi Chen will surely rush back from the Martial Refining Tower!"

"The prestige of a Vice Pagoda Master of the Martial Refining Tower will definitely show this Zhang Yang what a true Prodigy of the Central Continent is!"

"Perhaps it won't even require the two Senior Brothers to take action before this Zhang Yang will no longer have the face to bear the name of Divine Son!"

Thinking of that scene, the smile on Qian Fan's face grew wider, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

After the time for Zhang Yang's challenge rules was announced, many geniuses within the Nourishing Heart Lineage couldn't help but rub their hands in anticipation!

Far away in the Martial Refining Tower, Li Qingyuan and Yi Chen also received messages from the people of the Nourishing Heart Lineage.

"Good! Good! Good! This Zhang Yang is actually so arrogant!"

"I want to personally experience just what kind of heaven-defying Aptitude and world-shaking combat power a Divine Son chosen by branch master Xin Buxiu possesses!"

After Li Qingyuan finished reading the information in the Jade Slip, his expression suddenly turned cold,

the sharp Aura around him causing the surrounding air to make faint popping sounds.

He had originally been staring at the nearby Sub-Tower No. 86, which had recently gained quite a reputation.

"I was planning to go meet that new Revered Master of Sub-Tower No. 86 today..."

"I didn't expect such a grand event to occur within the lineage!"

"Oh well, I'll head back first to meet this Zhang Yang. After defeating him, it won't be too late to come back and challenge the tower!"

Light burst from Li Qingyuan's eyes, filled with confidence.

Regarding Zhang Yang's background, he had already investigated the intelligence thoroughly as soon as the other party became the Divine Son.

A kid from the Southern Region with a short cultivation period—no matter how much of a Genius he is, how strong can he be?

How can he be compared with top figures like them who have struggled through the most brutal trial grounds in the Central Continent?

At almost the same moment, Yi Chen's figure also appeared beside Li Qingyuan, their Auras faintly resonating.

"Senior Brother Qingyuan, shall we head back together?"

A playful smile played on Yi Chen's face.

"Of course, let's go together!" Li Qingyuan laughed loudly and nodded in agreement.

Their main purpose in going back to defeat Zhang Yang this time was not the defeat itself, but to prove something!

That they absolutely had the talent to become Divine Sons!

As the Nourishing Heart Lineage shook, the Disciples of the Four Great Factions within the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion all received the information and rules of this challenge.

Countless people were stunned and discussed it animatedly.

Just who is this Zhang Yang?

To dare claim he would accept the challenge of all the Divine Ruins Realm geniuses of the entire lineage?

Although it was limited to the Nourishing Heart Lineage, such explosive news was enough to make the Prodigy Disciples of other lineages move upon hearing it, full of interest.

In the Tian Jian Faction, inside an Immortal Cave filled with solemn Sword Qi.

Two Divine Sons sat opposite each other, their Auras condensed like two heavenly swords standing tall!

Just the escaping Aura carried a sharpness that could cut through everything.

"What do you think? Should we go take a look at this excitement?"

One of the cold-faced Divine Sons spoke, his voice sounding like the clashing of metal.

The Divine Son opposite him had a hint of an interested smile on his face, Sword Qi flickering at his fingertips:

"How can we miss such a good show? Those two fellows, Li Qingyuan and Yi Chen, will most likely head back too."

"After they finish challenging Zhang Yang..."

Battle Intent erupted in his eyes, and the Sword Intent permeating his body instantly surged several times over,

"We can just happen to exchange a few moves with those two!"

"By the way,"

The cold Divine Son remembered something and asked,

"Have you heard the news from the Martial Refining Tower? Tuoba Ye of Sub-Tower No. 86 was defeated by a mysterious person! Even Zen Master Ming Chen was defeated by him."

"Of course I know." The other Divine Son nodded slightly, his expression becoming a bit more serious,

"Tuoba Ye's strength is mediocre; it's not surprising he lost."

"But that Zen Master Ming Chen's Buddhist Divine Abilities are indeed extraordinary. To be able to defeat these two in succession, he is definitely no ordinary person!"

He didn't just know; he had already obtained the recordings of their battles and had watched them.

"After this matter with the Nourishing Heart Lineage is over..."

"Let's head to the Martial Refining Tower together with Li Qingyuan and Yi Chen. It'll be the perfect time to meet that mysterious expert!"

"My thoughts exactly!"

A sharp light also flashed in the cold Divine Son's eyes as he nodded in agreement.
