347: Chapter 347 Fury!!

Secondly, the requirements for the practitioner's comprehension are extremely high; one needs to balance and harness five different elemental powers simultaneously. The slightest lapse would lead to a conflict between the five elements, resulting in ruined cultivation and personal injury.

Finally, the comprehension of each subsequent layer is highly complex.

Because of this, although Modu University of Martial Arts has possessed the Secret Realm Tower for countless years and numerous prodigies have attempted to practice the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, very few have successfully mastered the basics.

There has not been a single person who could cultivate it to a higher level and unleash its true power.

"I hope you can succeed."

She did indeed harbor a hint of curiosity regarding the power of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture once fully mastered.

This was one of the tower-guarding techniques revered as the most difficult to cultivate within the top human academies.

Its legends were widespread, yet there were few actual examples that could truly demonstrate its upper limits.

She really wanted to know what kind of phenomenon the "Five Elements Primordial Power" would eventually manifest if Qin Yan could truly continue down this arduous path.

Would it be enough to rival the "Immortal Life Power" derived from the Eternal Life Ode, the supreme technique she inherited from the Elf Clan?

The Eternal Life Ode was an ancient inheritance that pointed directly to the origin of life, pursuing eternity and sublimation.

When cultivated to a profound stage, its vitality was boundless, nearing immortality, and it integrated offense and defense into one.

"However, by the time Qin Yan cultivates the Five Elements Primordial Scripture to a level that matches our realm—perhaps even needing to reach the Eighth-Rank Grandmaster level—who knows how much time will have passed."

She thought to herself, "And by then, I might... have already stepped into the 'True King' realm."

Anya had no doubt that Qin Yan could achieve the rank of Eighth-Rank Grandmaster in the future.

Someone who could not only preserve himself in the crisis-ridden Canglin Ancient Peak but also successfully seize the holy grail of life possessed talent, character, and luck that were all top-tier choices.

If he did not meet an accidental early demise, the Eighth-Rank realm would certainly not be his end point.

However, she, Anya, was no ordinary person either.

She was recognized as the most talented member of the Elf Clan in nearly a hundred years, possessing a pure and noble bloodline.

She had displayed astonishing talent since childhood, and her cultivation journey had been a triumphant progress.

Now, she had even received the empowerment of the Life Profound Truth left by the first Elven Empress and the recognition of the holy grail of life as its master.

The solidity of her foundation, the magnitude of her potential, and the vastness of her future had all been elevated to a completely new level.

The True King realm was already within her reach!

There was even a sliver of hope to touch that legendary realm beyond the True King, the near-mythical "Emperor" realm!

If Qin Yan's monstrous talent was like an unpolished jade with a promising future...

Then Anya was already the rising bright moon; with its first bloom of brilliance, it was destined to illuminate the entire sky.

Thinking of this, Anya gently closed the silver-leafed book on her lap and restrained all her outward emotions.

She closed her eyes and focused. Wisps of pure emerald light began to flicker around her, blending and resonating with the natural aura within the hall as she entered a state of deep meditation.

...

While Anya was deep in thought, in the side hall, Lady-in-waiting Jian Lu was learning the more detailed accounts of the startling changes within the Canglin Ancient Peak from several returning core prodigies.

"What?! You're saying... Feng Jin of the Phoenix Descendant Clan and Fire Lizard of the Fire Lizard Clan have both... fallen?!"

Jian Lu's face was now filled with unbelievable shock, and her voice rose slightly due to her horror.

True King Descendants!

This was not just a symbol of talent and strength; they also possessed life-saving trump cards and powerful spirit weapons that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

In a trial like the Hidden Dragon Assembly—which carried risks but theoretically shouldn't cause top descendants to perish easily—perhaps a few people could defeat them, but to truly and completely slay them was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

This required overwhelming strength, meticulous planning, or... an extremely unexpected variable.

"It's absolutely true!"

Xue Ye nodded heavily, his heart still fluttering with fear. "Feng Jin was killed by that eerie Black Ancient Tree... along with dozens of Phoenix Descendant elites, all of them wiped out, leaving no remains."

Another Elf Prodigy added: "It wasn't just those two.

Several dark horses emerged in this assembly, stirring up the entire situation in the Ancient Peak.

A mysterious Black-Robed Person and the Black Ancient Tree they controlled possessed unfathomable strength;

There was also that Woman in Red Robe of mysterious identity, whose sword carried the cry of a phoenix and who could clash head-on with Long Yin without being disadvantaged;

And... Qin Yan of the human race. He was the one who finally 'killed' that Black Ancient Tree, so he must have gained a massive harvest."

The several prodigies spoke one after another, outlining key events such as the rampage of the Black-Robed Person's ancient tree, the sudden emergence of the Woman in Red Robe, and Qin Yan's slaying of the tree.

Although details might vary due to different perspectives, the general outline was now clear.

The more Jian Lu listened, the more solemn her expression became.

The intensity and cruelty of this Hidden Dragon Assembly far exceeded those of the past!

True King Descendants fell one after another, and mysterious powerful experts appeared frequently.

"I understand."

Jian Lu took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent waves in her heart, and nodded to the prodigies. "You all rest here first. This matter is of great importance; I must report it to Her Highness immediately!"

After saying this, she turned quickly and walked with swift steps directly toward the main hall where Anya was located.

Her Highness had to be informed of this startling news to prepare for the various storms and negotiations that might follow.

At the same time, in the guest reception areas and temporary camps of various clans in other regions of the Elven Ancestral Land, similar scenes were constantly unfolding.

The prodigies of various clans returning from the Ancient Peak reported their shocking experiences during the assembly—especially the news of the fall of two True King Descendants—to their leaders, elders, or royal members.

Soon, these explosive pieces of news were like giant boulders thrown into a calm lake, stirring up monstrous waves!

In the sky above a section specifically designated for the temporary residence of the Phoenix Descendant Clan on the outskirts of the Elven Ancestral Land...

A shrill and extremely angry phoenix cry suddenly rang out!

The sound waves rolled, piercing straight into the clouds.

The wrath contained within it made all living creatures within a radius of dozens of miles feel a sense of palpitation.

Scorching fire clouds condensed out of thin air, vaguely forming the phantom of a fire phoenix spreading its wings in lamentation.

A terrifying pressure permeated the air, showing the fury of the Phoenix Descendant Clan's powerful experts.

In another temporary fortress built with rugged, dark red giant stones...

A violent and fierce hiss of a giant lizard, seemingly from ancient times, erupted!

The roar shook the ground slightly, and the air was filled with a scorching aura as crimson light flickered intermittently within the fortress.

The fall of two True King Descendants was not just the premature death of two geniuses.

It more likely represented a major loss of face for the forces behind them and a setback for their future strategic layouts.

The tranquility of the Elf Clan's ancestral land was completely shattered.

Powerful experts of the Elf Clan responsible for maintaining order appeared one after another, their auras rising.

They looked toward those two directions warily, preventing the situation from spiraling out of control.

...
