386: Chapter 386 Yue Hanzheng, brimming with fighting spirit, and the Empress's attitude

"Though I lost, it has allowed me to see the taller mountains of the outside world, so I won't remain ignorant for the rest of my life!"

"Lin Ran, your appearance has helped me redefine a new goal: to cross the great mountain that is you!"

Yue Hanzheng looked at Lin Ran with burning eyes, his gaze filled with Battle Intent.

In Thunder Ancestor Dao Mountain, he was a peerless Prodigy Dao Child who appeared only once in ten thousand years, the only one to truly receive the recognition of the Thunder Ancestor as an eternal genius.

Among the younger generation in Thunder Ancestor Dao Mountain, almost no one was his match; those capable of defeating him were not as much of a Prodigy as he was.

But now, Lin Ran's appearance had completely overturned his past perceptions, making him understand the truth that there is always someone better and a heaven beyond the heavens.

Although he had lost at Lin Ran's hands, he would not be discouraged because of it, nor would he harbor resentment toward Lin Ran!

He believed that one of the greatest joys in life was to be awakened by someone else's strike, thereby giving his heart a new goal to strive for!

Lin Ran was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Fine, I, this mountain, will stand right here, waiting for you to cross me."

"It's a deal!"

Yue Hanzheng extended his right palm, speaking with excitement.

Lin Ran smiled without saying a word and high-fived him to seal the oath.

The Green-robed Elder watched this scene with a smile on his face and couldn't help but nod.

This kind of perfect ending was a joy for everyone involved.

Whether it was Yue Hanzheng or Lin Ran, both could become treasures of their Zifu Holy Land.

If two treasures were at odds, it would be difficult for the Zifu Holy Land to decide which side to support.

But now, although Lin Ran had defeated Yue Hanzheng, he had instead become friends with him. This was not only a display of Yue Hanzheng's magnanimity but also a reflection of Lin Ran's character.

"Brother Lin, then I shall step down first. I hope you can obtain the immortal seed of core shedding."

Yue Hanzheng smiled and cupped his fists toward Lin Ran before turning to walk off the battle stage.

Lin Ran nodded slightly.

The clash between him and Yue Hanzheng had also been witnessed by the young prodigies of the other two training grounds.

Even the Fairy Jiulian, who had long since witnessed Lin Ran's monstrous talent, was once again profoundly shocked!

The Destiny Immortal Body, the strongest Special Physique in the world, bar none!

The sensation it caused and the impact it brought were simply self-evident!

"I didn't expect such a Prodigy to appear in the Divine Fire Realm!"

"Tsk tsk! Judging by his cultivation, he's already at the Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven. I estimate it won't be long before he can build a Divine Bridge and step into the Divine Bridge Realm!"

"If this person enters the Divine Bridge Realm, he might be invincible within it, right?"

"More than that. In my opinion, even young prodigies with Heavenly Palace Realm cultivation probably wouldn't be his match!"

The young prodigies of the Divine Bridge Realm camp discussed fervently, their gazes toward Lin Ran filled with gravity and awe.

Even Chen Mu was completely immersed in shock; he truly hadn't expected Lin Ran to be so monstrously talented!

This was countless times more prodigious than himself!

Meanwhile, in the shadows, countless pairs of eyes were also watching every move on these three training grounds.

At the very moment Lin Ran revealed his Destiny Immortal Body, almost all the eyes in the shadows focused on him.

"Your Majesty, this person not only possesses the world's strongest Special Physique—the Destiny Immortal Body—but also carries the Yin-Yang Immortal Body, the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone, and the Innate Pure Yang Immortal Body!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! With so many supreme Special Physiques, Ling'er simply can't count them all!"

Within the Chenxin Divine Dynasty, a girl with a sweet and lovely appearance, her hair lightly pinned up and dressed in embroidered finery, spoke excitedly.

Beside her stood a woman who commanded respect without even trying, her expression calm, her entire being radiating the majesty of an Empress.

She was the Empress of the Chenxin Divine Dynasty—Empress Mo Chenxin!

Listening to the words of the maid beside her, Empress Mo Chenxin's expression did not change in the slightest; she remained cold, one could even say indifferent.

"He killed Xiang Mo and broke the iron rule that countless people have silently guarded for ages."

After a long silence, Empress Mo Chenxin spoke these words coldly.

Ling'er's smile froze as she looked at Empress Mo Chenxin with some trepidation, her heart skipping a beat.

"But... Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the ignorant are innocent!"

"Why don't we go and test Lin Ran later to see if he really knew about the iron rule?"

Ling'er asked uneasily.

Empress Mo Chenxin raised her eyes slightly, her face full of indifference as she said, "In this world, where is there such a thing as 'the ignorant are innocent'?"

"If one can commit a crime simply because they did not know, wouldn't the world fall into chaos?"

"Those words, at times, are a massive joke."

Ling'er was instantly left speechless.

She thought about it uneasily and said, "Then... Your Majesty, are we going to kill Lin Ran?"

Empress Mo Chenxin did not speak. Her calm expression and cold gaze seemed to foreshadow everything, a coldness that made one feel afraid.

Ling'er did not dare to say anything more.

As the saying goes, being with a ruler is like being with a tiger; at a time like this, it was better to say less...

On the training ground.

The Green-robed Elder looked around and smiled, "Is there anyone else who wants to come up and challenge?"

The young prodigies looked at one another, but not a single one was willing to step forward.

To say they didn't want to obtain the immortal seed of core shedding would be a lie.

But they were well aware of their own strength; they would absolutely be no match for Lin Ran!

Yue Hanzheng alone was enough to pressure them until they couldn't breathe.

And Lin Ran, simply by using the Destiny Immortal Body, had pressured Yue Hanzheng until he couldn't breathe.

If he were to use the Yin-Yang Immortal Body, the Innate Pure Yang Immortal Body, and the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone, Lin Ran could probably crush them just by standing there!

How could they even compete?

Compete for what?!

Might as well just give the immortal seed of core shedding to Lin Ran directly!

Half a day passed, and still not a single young Prodigy stepped onto the battle stage.

They were now filled with awe for Lin Ran, to the point where they didn't even have the courage to face him.

The Green-robed Elder couldn't help but shake his head in slight disappointment.

He knew that such a situation was understandable; after all, Lin Ran's monstrous talent and strength were right there for all to see.

But, they were all young prodigies; why didn't they even have the courage to face Lin Ran?

Yue Hanzheng also knew Lin Ran was monstrously powerful, yet he still possessed an invincible Dao Heart and dared to face Lin Ran.

Though he lost, and lost quite easily and thoroughly, he was still more than ten thousand times better than this group of young prodigies who didn't even dare to face Lin Ran!

Of course, this was also human nature, and the Green-robed Elder wouldn't blame these young prodigies for it.

Asking himself, if he were one of these young prodigies, he might also be a bit afraid to face Lin Ran.

He was merely a little disappointed.

But regardless, these young prodigies who passed the assessment and could join their Zifu Holy Land all had their own extraordinary points and were worth the Zifu Holy Land's cultivation!
