33: The focus of everyone's attention, establish your prestige with one battle!
The sky-high yellow sand dispersed in the wind, revealing Su Yang's figure.
Su Yang stood at the spot where he had just punched, his aura calm and unbroken, powerful True Essence swirling around his body; the yellow sand didn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
The Disciples of the Eight Sects watching all gasped sharply.
So strong!
He defeated Luo Junjie with just one punch!
This power is too terrifying!
Everyone present was a Disciple of the Eight Sects. Although there were differences in their strengths, everyone could see that Luo Junjie had unleashed all of his True Essence as a Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase practitioner. His True Essence level was inherently more profound and powerful than that of ordinary Disciples, and his Middle Stage Realm strength was even greater.
Even so, Su Yang still used only one punch to shatter the True Essence he had condensed.
The True Essence Su Yang unleashed in that instant was even more profound and powerful. Though both were at the Middle Stage, Su Yang's True Essence intensity was overwhelmingly superior.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that after shattering Luo Junjie's True Essence, Su Yang held back his strength. Otherwise, that punch could have directly pierced his body, shattered his Dantian, and left Luo Junjie with no possibility of Cultivating again.
Among the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's team, after their initial surprise, the Disciples' eyes were filled with admiration.
And Jiang Muchen, in the crowd, was now congratulating himself on his wise decision earlier.
Facts proved that if he had truly challenged Su Yang to a duel, he would have undoubtedly lost.
There was no chance of winning, only of further offending Su Yang.
Even the Sect Masters of the Eight Sects, including Wen Yuheng, the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, were quite surprised to see Su Yang's display this time, let alone the Sect Masters of the other Six Sects.
They observed more closely.
Su Yang's True Essence was much stronger than that of a typical Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase practitioner.
Moreover, his control over his own True Essence was extremely precise; one could say he achieved a level of effortless control that shouldn't be possible at his age.
If he hadn't held back at the very end, that punch wouldn't have been as simple as repelling Luo Junjie; it would have undoubtedly crippled Luo Junjie with a single blow.
The Profound Heaven Dao Sect actually produced such a Prodigy of a Disciple.
No wonder the only Divine Artifact of the Burial Immortal Valley was willing to be used by him.
The Sect Masters of the Seven Sects subconsciously exchanged glances, all realizing at this moment that their earlier decision to forgo the challenge was a wise one.
"Luo Junjie, that's enough! You are no match for Su Yang!"
Zhao Shengdao stepped forward and gave Luo Junjie a Medicinal Pill to take.
Luo Junjie stared blankly at Su Yang.
A Genius's unwillingness stems from not knowing that there are also huge gaps between Geniuses.
He challenged Su Yang because he felt he had a chance to defeat him.
But now, Su Yang shattered his arrogance with just one punch.
At this moment, Luo Junjie had already realized that Su Yang was an insurmountable chasm before him.
He was an unbeatable opponent for him now.
Su Yang's punch defeated him, but it only shattered his arrogance, not his self-esteem.
Instead, it made him soberly aware of the gap between himself and Su Yang.
"I lost!"
"You are indeed stronger than me!"
"From now on, you will be my goal. I, Luo Junjie, will never slack off. From now on, I will devote all my time and energy to Cultivating. If you slack off, I will definitely surpass you!"
Luo Junjie adjusted his breathing and walked generously to Su Yang's front.
All his unwillingness transformed into motivation for him to Cultivate even harder at this moment.
"You are also very strong! You live up to your name as a Genius!"
Su Yang generously extended his hand and shook his.
Solely in terms of a Cultivator's Aptitude, Luo Junjie of the Five Elements Sect was absolutely a Genius; there was no doubt about that.
Frankly, Su Yang quite admired this arrogant yet willing-to-admit-defeat Luo Junjie.
"Old Wen, you've really found a treasure!"
Zhao Shengdao exclaimed with emotion.
This exclamation prompted the other Sect Masters to nod in perfecttacit agreement.
Envy was practically written all over their faces.
Why did they want to contend for the title of the number one Sect in the world? This was the obvious answer.
If their Sect was the number one Sect in the world, then a Prodigy-level Genius like Su Yang would most likely appear in their Sect.
Unfortunately, even in the Immortal Realm, there aren't that many 'ifs'.
Envy was just envy, and that was that.
"The Sect's fortune! The Sect's fortune!"
Wen Yuheng looked at Su Yang beside him, laughing heartily in his heart, but he didn't dare to show too much smugness.
He said to Zhao Shengdao, "Lao Zhao, you are this year's host. Why don't you continue to preside over the overall situation?"
Zhao Shengdao only then reacted, almost forgetting that he was the host of this event.
He flew into the sky and said to the Disciples of the Eight Sects below, "The Burial Immortal Valley treasure hunt has officially ended. Disciples of the Eight Sects, please return to your camps for a short rest."
"According to custom, all Disciples of the Eight Sects who have gained something in the Burial Immortal Valley treasure hunt will have the opportunity to search for their own Spirit Beast in advance near the Burial Immortal Valley. This year is no exception."
"The Spiritual Qi near the Burial Immortal Valley is abundant, and the Spirit Beasts here are exceptionally powerful, far stronger than Spirit Beasts anywhere else. If you have the chance to obtain a Spirit Beast of your own here, it will elevate your own strength to another level."
"Everyone, return to your camps to rest for three days. After three days, Disciples of the Eight Sects who have gained something can begin the second activity of the Burial Immortal Valley trip, to search for your own Spirit Beasts in advance and further enhance your own strength!"
With Zhao Shengdao's voice, the attention of the Disciples of the Eight Sects was once again drawn.
Those Disciples who had failed to gain anything felt an even deeper disappointment, but those who had gained something felt an even greater excitement and anticipation.
Destiny Magical Artifacts and Spirit Beasts, as the two major external power enhancements for Cultivators, could all be acquired in one trip to the Burial Immortal Valley. Who wouldn't be excited?
The Magical Artifacts of the Burial Immortal Valley were exceptionally powerful.
The Spirit Beasts of the Burial Immortal Valley were equally exceptionally powerful.
No one would waste the opportunity to acquire both a Magical Artifact and a Spirit Beast here.
The Disciples of the Eight Sects began to withdraw from the Burial Immortal Valley.
"Senior Brother Su, that sword looks so damn cool in your hand!"
"Senior Brother Su, when you beat me up before, I was a bit unconvinced. Today, seeing you make Luo Junjie of the Five Elements Sect vomit blood with one punch, I finally know that the gap in strength between us is not just a little bit. Thank you, Senior Brother Su, for holding back before."
"Senior Brother Su, when you have time, teach me, please. I also want to improve my combat skills."
The Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect excitedly clustered around Su Yang, their eyes filled with obvious admiration and reverence.
Even Jiang Muchen, who had always been displeased with Su Yang, was now convinced, no longer holding any resentment.
It wasn't just the Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect; the Disciples of the other Seven Sects were no different. Their gazes at Su Yang also conveyed admiration. The master of the divine sword, who defeated the Genius Luo Junjie of the Five Elements Sect with one punch. If they hadn't already joined other Sects, they would have wished to join the Profound Heaven Dao Sect and be fellow Disciples with Su Yang.
Behind the crowd.
Wen Yun Yao was not squeezed in with Su Yang.
Her face held a genuine smile, as she was truly happy for Su Yang.
Her gaze shifted towards the Yu Ling Sect, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Since she had come to the Burial Immortal Valley with Su Yang this time, she should also take this opportunity to resolve her own matters.
Ye Jinghan noticed Wen Yun Yao's gaze.
He slowed his steps and came to her side.
"Sister Yunyao, long time no see."
"I've been wanting to find an opportunity to meet up with you these past few days, but I haven't found a suitable one."
"Now that things have settled down, I wonder if Sister Yunyao has time for us to catch up?"
Ye Jinghan was gentle, elegant, and composed, possessing the refined grace of a scholar and the easygoing demeanor of an immortal. If a Cultivator were to have a concrete image, then Ye Jinghan's image would be the best embodiment of a Cultivator.
Wen Yun Yao did not directly respond to his invitation. After a moment of consideration, she said, "That's fine. We haven't had a good chat in a long time. Senior Brother Ye, how about you invite your father, and I'll invite mine, and our two families sit down together for a meal and a chat this afternoon? What do you think?"
"My intention was... for Sister Yunyao and I to meet alone."
"I understand what Senior Brother Ye means, but I think our two families should meet first. If Senior Brother Ye still wishes to catch up with me after that, I can catch up with Senior Brother Ye."
Wen Yun Yao said.
Ye Jinghan frowned slightly, not quite understanding what she meant by that.
How could he know what she was thinking now? So he said, "In that case, I will go and prepare."
"Good! Then I'll go find my father."
Wen Yun Yao no longer paid him any mind and went to find her father.
Tonight, she intended to resolve her troubles so that she could peacefully sit on Su Yang's lap and Cultivate with him!
Wen Yun Yao's face was flushed, but her gaze was extremely firm!
