261: Chapter 261 Gathering of Prodigies

Gu Changge's gaze swept over his Disciples, and he said indifferently, "The Dao is within yourselves. Cultivate well."

He paused, then looked at Wang Xiaopang, "Little Fatty, five days from now, enter the Tower of the Prodigies to hone your battle prowess."

"Tower of the Prodigies?"

Wang Xiaopang was startled. He subconsciously looked at the majestic and ancient black tower not far away, and quietly asked Xiao Ruobai beside him, "Big Brother, what's that tower for? It sounds quite impressive."

Xiao Ruobai grinned and patted his shoulder, "That's a great place! Inside are projections of the strongest Prodigies of all time in the same Realm. Fighting them is incredibly exhilarating!

You'll know once you go in. I guarantee it will be... unforgettable for life."

He deliberately emphasized the words "unforgettable for life."

Wang Xiaopang was intrigued by what Xiao Ruobai said, and seeing Fang Hanyu and Ling Xi both with expressions of "you'll understand once you go," he was immediately filled with curiosity and anticipation for this "Tower of the Prodigies."

A place that Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Sister all value must be an extraordinary trial ground! With his Foundation reshaped, he was just looking for a place to test his skills!

For the next five days, Wang Xiaopang diligently adapted to his surging power and new Foundation, while also Cultivating the Grand Void Talisman Canon taught by his Master.

On the fifth day, Wang Xiaopang, full of spirit and swagger, walked towards the Tower of the Prodigies. He even turned back and waved his chubby hand at Xiao Ruobai and the others, looking as if Fat Master was about to return in triumph.

However, as soon as he stepped into the light screen of the tower entrance, his figure disappeared for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn... "Bang!"

A muffled thud, accompanied by a shrill, distorted scream: "Ow—! My butt!"

The light screen of the Tower of the Prodigies rippled, and Wang Xiaopang was "spat" out in an extremely disheveled manner, like a football that had been kicked hard, sprawling on the grass.

His face was bruised and swollen, his originally new Disciple robe was torn in several places, stained with dust and traces of energy annihilation left by some virtual battle. He was covered in dirt, his eyes dazed, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the immense blow.

He had just entered and hadn't even had time to clearly see his opponent when he felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was instantly "killed" by an utterly irresistible force, imbued with some ultimate combat technique!

He didn't even understand how he lost!

Just as he was dizzy and questioning life from the fall, a gentle yet vast power instantly enveloped him. Gu Changge had appeared nearby at some point, gently flicking his sleeve.

Wang Xiaopang felt a warmth spread through him. The pain in his body instantly vanished, and his superficial wounds and chaotic Qi were restored in the blink of an eye, even his damaged robe returned to its original state.

Before he could thank him, or even fully grasp the situation, he heard his Revered Master's calm voice resound again: "Impetuous, with power but no combat technique. Go back in."

Before his words finished, Wang Xiaopang felt an irresistible gentle force lift him. The scene before his eyes rapidly receded—he was actually "thrown" back into the light screen of the Tower of the Prodigies by a casual flick of Gu Changge's hand!

"Wait, wait! Revered Master, I'm not ready..." Wang Xiaopang's cry of alarm was completely cut off within the tower.

Inside the Tower of the Prodigies, Wang Xiaopang's exasperated yet helpless howls, along with more frequent thuds of being beaten, soon echoed... The cycle had begun.

While Little Fatty was undergoing day after day of "Tower of the Prodigies" devilish special training on Zizhu Peak, with Gu Changge using an almost "cramming" method, solidifying his Foundation and honing his battle techniques, experiencing both pain and joy...

In the Eastern Domain, a place where the winds and clouds gathered.

After the destruction of Glazed Holy Land, Little Black said that within a hundred years, among peers, life and death were irrelevant in combat. The names Battle Asura, Sword White Robe, and Qing Luosha, like three suddenly rising brilliant comets, illuminated the younger generation of the entire Xuanhuang Great World!

Countless heirs from Ancient Sects, Immortal Holy Lands, and Hidden Families, or self-proclaimed invincible Loose Cultivator Prodigies, were all alarmed. They emerged from their seclusion, crossed endless mountains and rivers, and gathered in the Eastern Domain!

Their purpose was simple and direct:

Challenge!

To engage in a hearty, Peak duel with these three peerless powerhouses who had suddenly emerged with formidable battle records!

To use this to verify their own Dao, temper their invincible hearts, and even step on their reputations to embark on their own invincible path!

For a time, above the Eastern Domain, divine rainbows piercing the sun, ancient beasts pulling carriages, and jade palanquins traversing the Void Realm were often seen!

Holy Saints with ancient battle bodies had eyes like lightning and Battle Intent soaring to the heavens; mysterious heirs from ancient families had obscure Qi that drew attention, and even descendants of the Yao Race's royal bloodline manifested their true forms, traversing the Void Realm, their might covering thousands of miles!

The entire Eastern Domain seemed to have become a martial arts arena for young Supremes, with surging winds and clouds, and a myriad of phenomena!

However, when these arrogant Prodigies eagerly arrived near Xuan Province, intending to challenge specific individuals, they were astonished to discover—

The three of Battle Asura had vanished as if into thin air, leaving no trace!

No matter how they investigated, even some Prodigies with immense backgrounds used deduction Divine Abilities, but could only vaguely sense that the three were in an area shrouded by Supreme Qi, their exact location completely un 窺探able!

This evasive stance initially disappointed and puzzled some Prodigies, even drawing some criticism and ridicule.

"Hmph, what Battle Asura, Sword White Robe? They were just a flash in the pan. Now they're probably hiding, afraid to show their faces, aren't they?"

"It seems they knew they made too many enemies and were afraid of being challenged by us, showing their cowardice and ruining their reputation!"

"They're just people seeking fame!"

But soon, this situation changed.

There were simply too many Prodigies gathered here! And each one was arrogant, full of vigor, and already had a competitive relationship with each other.

Unable to find their main targets, their overflowing Battle Intent and energy had nowhere to vent. Added to this, to contend for certain Secret Realm Opportunities that had appeared, or merely due to a verbal dispute, a disapproving glance... Intense conflicts inevitably erupted!

For a time, the land of the Eastern Domain became a huge arena where these young Supremes from various forces fought each other and verified their strength!

A Holy Saint from an Ancient Sect and a Crown Prince from an Imperial Dynasty fought fiercely in the Falling Star Mountain Range over a ten-thousand-year-old sacred medicine. Their Divine Abilities clashed, shattering mountains and severing rivers!

A Yao Race Prodigy and a Human Race Dao Body met on a narrow path, and due to racial enmity, an earth-shshattering blood battle erupted. Demonic Qi surged to the sky, Dao Arts roared, and the battlefield spanned a thousand miles!

Even mysterious Demonic Path heirs secretly hunted Holy Land Prodigies, triggering a series of chases and stirring up boundless winds and clouds!

The entire Eastern Domain fell into a strange state of coexisting "carnival" and "chaos."

Most of the older generation powerhouses chose to watch with cold eyes, viewing this as a necessary baptism for the younger generation before the golden age began.

The cultivation of Little Fatty and the daily life on Zizhu Peak are almost done. Later, I will write some external plots.
