253: Shallow water cannot support a true dragon

Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb.

"He's undergoing a Lightning Tribulation again? How can it be so fast?!" Jiang Daoqing's Dao Heart wavered, nearly shattering!

This kid, you're being too outrageous!

How can cultivation be like this?

The further you go, the harder it gets, but for Lu Chen, it seems this isn't the case. It's ridiculously fast! Even he, who cultivates in the Ancestral Land and is also known as a Heavenly Pride, wasn't this fast in the Yang Spirit Realm!

Moreover, the Lightning Tribulations he faced weren't as exaggerated as Lu Chen's, yet Lu Chen faced his Lightning Tribulations with incredible composure and calmness!

How could he not be composed and calm?

The Lightning Tribulation struck for a long time but couldn't hit him; it was all blocked by those strange Puppets. What kind of situation is this?

Cheating?

This completely unreasonable cultivation is something Jiang Daoqing cannot bear to watch!

"Soon, the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking will likely have another name added!" He sighed silently.

The Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking includes all Heavenly Pride from the entire universe starry sky and countless races, who were born no more than three thousand years ago. There are only one hundred spots in total.

The vast majority are from the long-lived God Clan, beings born 'naturally from heaven and earth,' and 'Dao Seeds' born from the Dao. Besides these, the Human Race and Demon Clan are the main forces.

Dividing it this way, there are only about ten Human Race members on the list.

You must understand, the Human Race is an extremely vast race, so large it's uncountable, yet only about ten can ultimately be listed on this ranking. What does that mean?

It's hard to say what it means, perhaps only one Human Race Heavenly Pride can make the list out of millions of cultivation planets, maybe not even that.

And their Ancestral Land's Holy Son, Zhao Yujing, is one of those ranked in the top ten.

Is the Holy Son formidable?

Of course he is, but now, even this Holy Son is moved by Lu Chen's performance. One can imagine how abnormal Lu Chen is.

Especially since this guy has only been cultivating for less than two years. He is still over two thousand nine hundred years away from the three-thousand-year limit to be removed from the list. He has too much time to climb the ranking, and his chances of making the list are very, very high.

"Tell me, how does Lu Chen compare to the Demon Clan's Dragon Wu Dao and the Human Race's Solitary Pride?" Chen Tianshu's eyes flickered as he watched, and after a long while, he suddenly looked at Jiang Daoqing and Zhao Yujing.

Zhao Yujing withdrew his gaze from the Starry Sky and slowly shook his head: "I don't know them."

When it comes to Tongtian Realm Great Power in the Starry Sky, or Ascended Being who are rarely seen, or figures on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, Zhao Yujing might have something to say, but this Demon Clan's Dragon Wu Dao and Human Race's Solitary Pride, he genuinely hasn't heard of them and they haven't entered his ears.

Jiang Daoqing nodded, not finding anything wrong with his Holy Son's words.

Someone ranked in the top ten of the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking naturally has an extremely high perspective. Among the countless trillions of beings across the entire universe starry sky, there are indeed only a handful of people who can enter the eyes of their Holy Son.

So he explained in detail: "Dragon Wu Dao is one of the most outstanding figures of the contemporary Demon Clan and one of the most promising to ascend the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking. It is said he has the Red Dragon Bloodline, but an anomaly occurred during his birth, seemingly Awakening a True Dragon Bloodline, thus far exceeding the normal Dragon Bloodline, almost akin to a True Dragon. He is incredibly powerful and difficult to resist. He has cultivated for less than a hundred years and is now at the peak Yang Spirit Realm, ready to break through to Nascent Soul and become a Great Power at any time."

He paused: "More importantly, this time, Dragon Wu Dao has also come to Azure Underworld."

He continued: "As for Solitary Pride, this person is a disciple of Da Yan Holy Land, born alongside a Heaven-tier Spirit Treasure named 'Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Sword.' It is said he can harness divine punishment for his own use. Although he is currently only at the peak Yang Spirit Realm, he already possesses the qualifications to contend with Nascent Soul Great Power. He has also cultivated for less than a hundred years and is renowned throughout various star regions."

He sighed lightly: "These two are contemporary talents with the potential to ascend the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, highly regarded by countless cultivators. Some have even compiled a Hidden Dragon Ranking, listing individuals with the potential to reach the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking as peerless talents. These two are on that list, and their rankings are not low."

Zhao Yujing listened without much reaction, merely nodding slightly and saying: "Passable."

That's it, just passable!

Jiang Daoqing, choked by the words 'passable' after using so much effort to explain, subconsciously wanted to retort, but remembering that the speaker was his Holy Son, Zhao Yujing, he pursed his lips and stopped.

True Dragon Bloodline? Heaven-tier Spirit Treasure?

Are they strong in front of Zhao Yujing?

Perhaps, they are indeed just passable!

After all, both Dragon Wu Dao and Solitary Pride only have the potential to ascend the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, while Zhao Yujing is already on the list, and ranked in the top ten.

As for True Dragon Bloodline, Zhao Yujing has even suppressed a true pure-blooded 'Suan Ni', and Suan Ni is one of the Dragon's Nine Sons, much stronger than ordinary True Dragon Bloodline.

As for Heaven-tier Spirit Treasures, there are also Heavenly Pride born alongside Heaven-tier Spirit Treasures whom Zhao Yujing has suppressed.

The Holy Son is just this powerful and terrifying. Only he has the qualification to evaluate something as 'passable'!

If it were someone else, Jiang Daoqing would definitely call them ignorant!

"Then, how does he compare to Lu Chen?" Chen Tianshu was still kind-faced and benevolent, speaking with a smile, seemingly very eager to know the Holy Son's evaluation of Lu Chen.

Because the Holy Son's understanding of Lu Chen was much deeper than his, Chen Tianshu's, or Jiang Daoqing's.

The Holy Son pondered for a moment, as if recalling carefully. After thinking for a good while, he finally said: "Give Lu Chen three more years, and he can contend."

The current Lu Chen has cultivated for too short a time, and he hasn't cultivated in the Ancestral Land. Azure Underworld, after all, has declined and it's difficult to cultivate a true True Dragon here.

Lu Chen himself is not bad, but he lacks cultivation time and the cultivation environment like the Ancestral Land. Compared to those truly from Void Immortal Sect or the Starry Sky Demon Clan, there is a significant gap in foundation.

Furthermore, the current Lu Chen is significantly behind Dragon Wu Dao and Solitary Pride in terms of Realm.

"To receive such an evaluation from the Holy Son, it seems this disciple of mine, who hasn't even officially joined yet, is truly extraordinary!" Chen Tianshu was a bit surprised.

How high is the Holy Son's standard? Heavenly Pride like Dragon Wu Dao and Solitary Pride only received a 'passable' evaluation from him, but when it comes to Lu Chen, it's clearly different.

Three years?

Even after three more years, Lu Chen will have only cultivated for less than five years!

A cultivator with less than five years of training can contend with Heavenly Pride like Dragon Wu Dao and Solitary Pride, who are renowned throughout various star regions in the universe starry sky. This is a very, very high evaluation!

Holy Son Zhao Yujing did not respond.

What's the point of saying all this?

Lu Chen was originally someone he had his eye on, but you, old man, snatched him away. Now you turn around and ask me how extraordinary the person I had my eye on is?

Heh heh!

Three years?

Three years is what this Holy Son deliberately said to be on the safe side!

Given how bizarre this little fellow Lu Chen is, it's not that Azure Underworld helped him achieve this, but rather that Azure Underworld limited his growth speed. Otherwise, the current Lu Chen might not necessarily be inferior to Dragon Wu Dao and Solitary Pride!

Of course, the Holy Son didn't intend to tell Chen Tianshu this, because the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Still can't properly go into seclusion and cultivate immortality!

Especially now that Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder have all gone to the Ancestral Land for advanced study, the things he has to do have not decreased, but increased!

So annoying!

But one must admit, going to the Ancestral Land is indeed the most suitable path for Lu Chen.

Competing with the Myriad Clans Heavenly Pride, striving for immortality and proving the Dao, is far better than staying in Dongming Sect and being a Sect Leader!

The water in Azure Underworld is ultimately too shallow, too shallow to raise a True Dragon!
