24: The arrogant Zhang Yizhi
"Elder Tang, how can you all remain so calm? This is a King Physique after all."
Above the void of the Cloud Heaven Sect, a dozen figures stood together, their robes fluttering, their auras hidden yet powerful.
They were indeed a dozen Golden Core Ancestors from the Nine Sects, and they were not ordinary Golden Core Ancestors; they were all Late Stage Cultivators who had condensed at least a seventh-grade Golden Core or higher.
When a Cultivator breaks through Foundation Establishment and condenses a Golden Core, they can form a first to ninth-grade Golden Core, with nine being the extreme number. The higher the grade of the Golden Core, the greater the boost to their cultivation.
Nascent Soul True Lords do not appear easily. As the visible powerhouses of the Nine Sects, they were naturally no weaklings.
At this moment, they were all commenting on every Disciple within the Cloud Heaven Sect's mountain gate. Having reached their Realm, time had long since become blurred.
Aside from dull seclusion, these activities counted as one of their few forms of entertainment.
"The Physique of this fat kid, if I am not mistaken, should be an innate Cultivation Technique. Tsk tsk tsk."
"An innate Cultivation Technique. This reminds me of that person two hundred and seventy years ago, he also had an innate Cultivation Technique, right?"
"Don't mention him. I was beaten by him quite a few times back then."
"Sigh, what a pity, what a pity. Heaven does not grant wishes."
...
"This child's talent is also decent. If nurtured well, he will definitely be a leader among the younger generation."
Several familiar Golden Core Cultivators were conversing in the void, occasionally mentioning some past events.
A Physique that comes with an innate Cultivation Technique is extremely rare, especially an innate Cultivation Technique at the King Physique level, which is even more precious.
Moreover, it would become increasingly perfect as the Physique holder's cultivation improved, and it would even be easy for it to evolve into a Cultivation Technique surpassing the Saint Rank.
Of course, an innate Cultivation Technique can only be cultivated by the Physique holder themselves; others cannot Cultivate it.
This is a conclusion reached at the cost of blood.
There was once a Cultivator who relied on his powerful cultivation and refused to believe this fact.
He coerced a person with an innate Cultivation Technique Physique to write down the technique, but people's Physiques cannot be generalized.
The coercer later forcibly cultivated it, leading to shattered Meridians and his cultivation being completely wasted, and he was killed after his enemies learned of the news.
The tenth Elder of the Cloud Heaven Sect, Tang Yulong, looked at Li Kaiyan below, his eyes revealing a sense of regret.
You are very excellent, but this time the Cloud Heaven Sect is not waiting for you.
Li Kaiyan enjoyed the gazes of others. He was a King Physique and a Core Disciple recognized by the dao inquiry stone.
In time, he would definitely step to the pinnacle of the Donglin Prefecture. Who else but me?
"Hahaha, I am the best candidate for the Saint conferment."
Just at this moment, high in the sky.
The figure at the front of the Seven Emperor Sword Sect's Spirit Boat made a move.
Hum!
A sharp gaze suddenly appeared. The moment the Seven Emperor Sword Sect Saint opened his eyes, the swords of all the Sword Cultivators in the entire Cloud Heaven Sect hummed in unison.
At this moment, the world changed drastically, and the Spiritual Qi boiled, which was extremely peculiar.
"Finally here?"
In some corner of the Cloud Heaven Sect, a fair-faced Young Master also felt something.
Bai Mengdie also cast a spell, and a water-blue screen appeared in front of her.
In the image, not far away, a young man and woman with extraordinary temperaments were driving a precious carriage, speeding over.
"Why does this person driving the carriage give me a sense of familiarity?"
"Hmm? A Profound Rank Magical Artifact carriage, an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Yao Beast, interesting."
No, there was something unusual.
Bai Mengdie recited the incantation to activate her detection technique, her eyes shimmering with a faint light, like twinkling stars.
However, in the next moment, she couldn't help but gasp. There were actually two people with special Physiques willing to drive for him.
It seems that this Zhang Yizhi's means of winning hearts are not weak at all.
"They are here."
The state of the Seven Emperor Sword Sect Saint naturally alarmed all the Saints and Saintesses, who also stood up one after another, eyes fixed on where the Seven Emperor Sword Sect Saint was looking.
"Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up."
The carriage sped along, and soon the large mountain gate square of the Cloud Heaven Sect was in sight, but there was one problem: there were too many people.
"Get out of the way, hurry up and get out of the way."
Step! Step! Step!
The Flaming Spirit Colt stepped heavily onto the ground as it came, the terrifying flaming Spiritual Qi sweeping over like a hundred-ton truck crashing into them.
Judging by this posture, it seemed like they were about to send off a group of lucky ones.
But just as Qin Dong was trying hard to control the direction, hundreds of probing Divine Senses descended.
"Young Lord, someone is using a technique to probe."
"Resist with all your might. Do not let them interfere with Zhang Yizhi's Physique Awakening process."
"Understood."
The two saw this and no longer held back, using their cultivation to resist these Divine Senses.
Hmph!
Qin Zixuan gave a soft shout, fully activating the power of her Ice Jade King Physique. A cold aura emanated from her, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.
Her hands formed seals, and ice-blue halos rotated around her, forming a huge ice crystal shield that enveloped the carriage.
At the same time, Qin Dong also tried his best to circulate his Qi Refining third-layer power and activated his Thick Earth Spirit Body.
With a pop, a layer of earthy yellow light appeared around his body, like a golden armored war god.
With the two joining forces, plus the power of the Profound Rank carriage, they managed to barely block the many Divine Sense probes.
Can't probe them?
But this scene fell into the eyes of the Spirit Boat above the Cloud Heaven Sect and the many Elders, making them feel a bit strange.
However, on second thought, this was the Cloud Heaven Sect's territory after all, so they soon felt relieved.
"Elder Tang, why be so secretive?"
"Letting us probe this quasi-Saint of your Cloud Heaven Sect won't make him lose a piece of flesh."
"Is it really necessary to treasure him so much?"
"Tang Yulong, your cultivation has improved quite a bit over the years, to have even blocked my probe."
Above the void, all the Golden Core Realm Cultivators teased the Cloud Heaven Sect Elder.
But Tang Yulong was exceptionally confused at this moment, because he hadn't done this at all; his own probe had also been blocked.
Moreover, he did not have the strength to block the probes of many peers on Zhang Yizhi.
Unless...
Tang Yulong thought of this possibility.
So it was a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator who had acted. Since that was the case, everything could be explained.
...
"Using a Profound Rank carriage as a vehicle, and a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast to pull it, such grand style."
The Ten Thousand Demon Gate Saint was furious. He had no opinion on the carriage, but using a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast to pull the carriage was too much.
Although he was the Ten Thousand Demon Gate Saint, he had not yet reached Foundation Establishment.
The other party specifically caught a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast to pull the carriage. The meaning behind it was self-evident, even though it was only a small Yao Beast at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment with low-grade Bloodline.
But this was slapping them in the Face of the Yao Race in front of them.
You Zhang Yizhi, I'm afraid you knew about my big talk at the Saint conferment ceremony that day.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have specifically caught a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast to come here to mock me.
Zhang Yizhi, I thought you were some kind of hero, but it turns out you are just a petty human!
The Ten Thousand Demon Gate Saint silently labeled Zhang Yizhi as an enemy and a petty person.
"That is... a King Physique!"
"Indeed, that should be an Ice attribute King Physique, but that young man is also unusual."
"This aura should be an affinity Physique, with strength equivalent to a Spirit Body."
"Two people with Physiques, what a grand gesture."
Everyone was shocked, especially those Saints and Saintesses, whose original playful and curious expressions had turned into complete shock.
These two people driving the carriage, according to the Cloud Heaven Sect's standards, were probably two Core Disciples.
Such existences, which one of them was not arrogant? And a Core Disciple with a King Physique, their energy was not much worse than those True Disciples.
Even Saints and Saintesses dared not ignore their existence, at least they had to do the superficial work.
And in Zhang Yizhi's case, they were actually only used to pull the carriage?
Terrible, truly terrible.
Even the people pulling the carriage had such talent and Physique, so it was truly unbelievable what kind of existence was inside the carriage.
"Zhang Yizhi..."
Zhao Shu, at the back of the crowd, had his eyelids twitching wildly and retreated a few steps again. Throughout this journey, he had heard many legends about this name. At first, he was curious and wanted to see for himself.
Now that the main character was about to appear, he didn't dare to come forward.
That was a killing god. Along the way, at least two hundred Cultivators had died on the road to hunt him down.
With a Qi Refining body, he killed at least five Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.
A terrifying existence who went from being unknown to famous in the Donglin Prefecture. It was better to stay away from such a person.
Xu Qiaoqiao's beautiful eyes swirled as she quietly squeezed forward a few positions.
Seeing the carriage speeding without any intention of slowing down, a Cloud Heaven Sect Elder made a move. His figure moved, and a gust of wind rose from his sleeve.
As the breeze came, the speed of the carriage steadily slowed down, and it finally arrived in front of the Cloud Heaven Sect mountain gate without danger.
The Cloud Heaven Sect Elder also saw that Qin Dong and Qin Zixuan had Physiques, and was immediately shocked.
Damn it, a King Physique and a special Physique pulling a carriage? What kind of monster is this, to be so wasteful?
"Who... who is in the carriage...?"
This scene made the Golden Core Realm Cloud Heaven Sect Elder feel a bit unconfident, and he could only speak stumblingly.
"Reporting to Senior, the guy in the carriage is called Zhang Yizhi."
Boom.
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was silent.
Especially the newly recruited Disciples who had just received their Disciple tokens, they instantly held their breath. Zhang Yizhi's name had long since made their ears calloused.
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow; they were extremely terrified.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, eight figures fell from the sky, the vibration of their landing kicking up dust.
Eight handsome men and beautiful women landed in front of the carriage. From their attire, it was clear that they were all extraordinary. The leader, holding a sword in his arms, stared fixedly at the carriage with dead, water-like eyes.
At the same time, prompts kept popping up in front of Qin Dong.
【Ding, discovered Epic-level Prodigy...】
【Ding, discovered Epic-level Prodigy...】
【Ding, discovered Epic-level Prodigy...】
【Ding, discovered Epic-level Prodigy...】
The smoke cleared, and seven consecutive prompt sounds rang out, causing a look of shock to flash across Qin Dong's eyes, especially that dead fish-eyed one, whose own talent had reached a terrifying degree.
【Ding, discovered Legendary-level Prodigy!!!】
The atmosphere at the scene was wrong. Qin Dong had no time to check the System prompts in detail, because he had already focused all his attention on the guy with dead fish eyes in front of him.
Intuition told him that the guy opposite was very terrifying. Unless necessary, he should not act rashly.
Therefore, Qin Dong chose to remain still and gave Qin Zixuan a wink.
She nodded and also remained silent in response.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, come out and meet us."
A Saint stood out, his voice lazy and full of Battle Intent. He was also looking forward to meeting the other party.
However, he was met with silence.
Quiet...
Quiet...
The atmosphere was very, very subtle. The eight high-and-mighty Saints and Saintesses were left outside the carriage like this, and the existence inside seemed to disdain seeing them, lingering and unwilling to come out.
A quarter of an hour passed, and it was still quiet.
Damn it!
This guy is too arrogant.
On the Spirit Boat, the Disciples of various forces who followed along saw this and were furious. Their own Saints and Saintesses had personally come forward to meet him, yet the other party didn't even show his Face.
What is this?
Provocation!
A naked provocation, taking the Face of their eight great Sects and throwing it on the ground to be trampled on.
Qin Dong and Qin Zixuan sensed that the atmosphere was a bit abnormal and also guardedly watched the eight people in front of the carriage.
"So strong."
Qin Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that none of the eight people in front of him were simple. From them, Qin Dong felt a thick sense of crisis.
Especially that dead fish-eyed one holding a sword, even if he went all out, without reservation, he could not guarantee defeating the other party, and might even be killed instead.
Qin Zixuan clenched her pink fists, cursing Zhang Yizhi in her heart. Why does this guy always cause trouble?
Another dozen breaths passed, and there was still no movement in the carriage.
"Damn it, how dare you look down on us!"
Seeing this scene, several Saints and Saintesses each had a trace of anger on their Faces. They had traveled thousands of miles to the Cloud Heaven Sect, and the other party didn't even intend to show his Face.
Sure enough, he was as arrogant as the rumors said. But thinking about the 120 times he shouted about destroying the Black Blood Mountain City, everything made sense.
Indeed, arrogant enough. This is the real Zhang Yizhi.
"Uh..."
In the dark, many True Disciples of the Cloud Heaven Sect were also confused. Those who originally wanted to find trouble with Zhang Yizhi had all turned into onlookers.
They wished they could shout out loud, "Fight, fight!"
Lightly shaking her folding fan, Bai Mengdie couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.
Surprisingly, he's kind of handsome.
