437: Chen Bufan of Xinggu Chamber of Commerce is ranked as the top genius

The source of the hawking!

It was a young man in magnificent robes, wearing a jeweled crown!

His entire being was enveloped in a pearly, shimmering radiance, splendid and dazzling.

Both his attire and his ornaments were quite extraordinary!

At the very least, they were Spiritual Artifacts!

The entire person appeared to glow with treasure light, exuding a faint yet astonishing spiritual charm.

"So it's him!"

Some Cultivators from Central Continent recognized his identity and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's Chen Bufan from the Star Antiquity Commerce Association!"

"The Star Antiquity Commerce Association, that's an ancient power in Central Continent!

Its caravans are as vast as Dragons, constantly traveling through the Five Continents..."

"Engaged in trade, with profound Foundation, and friendly with various Daoist factions!"

"Among them, it has an exceptionally close relationship with the three ancient Imperial Dynasties of Central Continent!"

"Furthermore, the Commerce Association itself houses many powerful individuals, not lacking in Great Power Cultivators!"

"Its strength is immense, almost no one dares to provoke it!"

"This Chen Bufan!

He is a direct descendant of the Star Antiquity Commerce Association, and also a Prodigy!"

"His Aptitude is extraordinary, and his Foundation is superb!"

"Within the entire Central Continent, among the young Prodigies, he is a presence that can rank in the top hundred!"

"Who would have thought!"

"He actually didn't go to contend for the Myriad Paths Ancient Road first, but instead ran here to sell some 'Prodigy Ancient Records'!"

"It's truly rare!"

"Didn't they say he came from the Star Antiquity Commerce Association? It seems that besides his reputation as a Prodigy... perhaps he also inherited the Commerce Association's true teachings!"

A Prodigy's eyes lit up, Battle Intent flickering, and he couldn't help but step forward, yet he still voiced a question,

"Is it real or fake?"

Chen Bufan, with a slight smile and a hint of sharpness in his eyes, immediately snorted in response upon hearing this,

"Hmm? Are you questioning This Heavenly Champion? Do you not trust This Heavenly Champion's character?"

"What I, Chen Bufan, sell is absolutely genuine, authentic, and honest!

I presume you also know the power I represent!

Integrity as the Foundation, and trust to establish business, that is the core of my Star Antiquity Commerce Association!

It is also the secret to its enduring prosperity... What? You still don't believe it?

Then This Heavenly Champion can even swear by the Heavenly Dao..."

Other Prodigies also came forward, staring at the ancient records, and asked curiously,

"What is the price?"

Chen Bufan smiled slightly, slowly extended his right hand, with his thumb and pinky straight,

"Six precious medicines, or..."

"Two medicine kings!"

"This Heavenly Champion currently only has a hundred copies, one hundred copies, first come, first served!

Everyone hurry, once they're sold out, there won't be any more!"

There were many wealthy Prodigies, backed by Daoist traditions, who grandly threw down six shimmering precious medicines!

"Give me one copy!"

"Alright!"

Chen Bufan nimbly collected them, then handed over an ancient record,

"Because you are the first!"

"This Heavenly Champion will additionally provide a piece of information: if you encounter the one ranked first in the ancient record!"

"I advise you to hide as far away as possible!"

"Never show hostility, and do not foolishly try to provoke him, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Chen Bufan paused, then replied solemnly,

"Your fate will be extremely tragic, very likely to —"

"Die without a burial place!"

"First?!!!"

That Prodigy opened the first page of the ancient record, took a quick glance, and couldn't help but gasp.

He then cupped his hands to Chen Bufan, turned and quickly departed without looking back!

This undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of some Cultivators!

Another Prodigy stepped out and exchanged two medicine kings for a copy.

He did not leave immediately but chose to open the first page right there!

Looking at the text and images, he softly read,

"Huangtian Ancient Sect — Jiang Yi!"

"...Emperor Jiang Yi, who holds the title of 'Great Emperors potential'?"

As these words were uttered, they immediately caused a commotion and uproar among the crowd present!

Some exclaimed in surprise, some showed strange expressions, some had sharp glints in their eyes... "It's him!"

"So it's that one!"

"If he's in our Eastern Desolate Land, then it's not surprising..."

"Great Emperors potential, is it real or fake?"

"According to rumors, several years ago, in that uninhabited forbidden zone in your Eastern Desolate —"

"He, by his own power, slew several Half-Step Great Powers!

His Battle Intent was Heaven-Defying, comparable to a true Great Power!"

"This rumor shook the world; even in my Northern Xuan land, we have heard of it!"

"That Emperor Jiang is also an Innate Saint!"

"It is said that he possesses the Chaos Divine Body, rarely seen in a million years, truly unmatched in the world!"

"Behind every Divine Body and Saint Body, there lies the immense potential of a Great Emperor and an Ancient Emperor!"

"The Chaos Divine Body is even the cream of the crop among them!"

"His talent is unparalleled, and his Aptitude is Heaven-Defying!"

"If that's truly the case, then there's really nothing more to say!"

"Doesn't that mean he can sweep aside all the Prodigies of this era?"

"In the future, he can achieve the Supreme position and ascend to the throne of a Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor!"

"I don't think so!"

"How vast is the world, the Five Continents are expansive, and there is no lack of top Prodigies, Innate Saints!

There will certainly be a generation that can contend with him!"

"What's more!"

"Although Emperor Jiang's progress is extremely fast right now, far surpassing his peers!

That doesn't mean it will always be this way!"

"Later on, there will definitely be Prodigies who catch up and bravely pursue!"

"Gradually closing the gap in cultivation level!"

"But for now, he is still extremely terrifying, enough to crush ninety-nine percent of his peers!"

"That's true..."

"However, in this Myriad Paths Secret Realm, it's not as if there are no Great Power-level figures who can enter!"

"Emperor Jiang may not be able to suppress everyone!"

"Hmph!"

"I feel quite the opposite; in my opinion, Emperor Jiang is invincible!"

"Even Great Power-level figures are definitely not his match!"

"When the ten thousand paths flower blooms!"

"There will surely be a fierce competition, a struggle for supremacy among heroes; at that time, we will know!"
