There was no time for cultivation. Xuan Yi went to the deep sea mystic realm alone to cultivate. The surroundings were surrounded by spiritual energy, and specks of moonlight flickered. The strange pool water that came to the deep sea mystic realm was absorbed into Xuan Yi’s body bit by bit.
The time for the opening of the deep sea mystic realm had already passed. When it was first opened, a group of disciples had already entered to cultivate. They had even strolled around the other places. However, Xuan Yi did not care about those low-grade treasures now.
The best place in the entire mystic realm was here, the moon lake.
Legend had it that this pool of water had existed since ancient times. The spiritual water in it was very good. The surging spiritual energy transformed into a huge vortex that continuously accelerated and then slowly flowed into Xuan Yi’s body.
If those experts were to see it, they would definitely be shocked speechless.
When the huge amount of spiritual liquid entered Xuan Yi’s body, the cultivation in his body continued to solidify.
“Hu!”
The sound of steady and continuous breathing was heard.
The spiritual liquid vortex became faster and faster until a roar was heard.
It shot straight to the clouds.
Xuan Yi broke out of seclusion. The surrounding guards of the moon lake stared at Xuan Yi with shock in their eyes. When they looked at the moon lake again, their faces revealed a pained expression.
Xuan Yi closed his eyes and smiled. He felt the spiritual energy fluctuation all over his body, which was very comfortable.
Although he still hadn’t broken through to the law enforcement realm, he was still close to the half-step sect master. Xuan Yi was only one step away from breaking through.
Now that he had reached a bottleneck, it wasn’t something that could be achieved through cultivation.
He felt that at this moment, even if he faced a sect master realm expert, he could still fight without being defeated and without using his sword intent.
If he opened his domain and added his sword intent, even a late-stage sect master realm cultivator might not be able to challenge him.
The higher the realm, the harder it was to break through. However, it was not that difficult for Xuan Yi.
Of course, without a specific battle, Xuan Yi did not dare to determine. After all, the stronger one was, the more Xuan Yi knew how terrifying those with higher realms were.
For example, if he were to fight against one who had just stepped into the law enforcement realm, he would not be able to withstand a single blow back then.
“Congratulations, Elder Xuan, you’ve touched a bottleneck.”
Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations in the moon lake, a joyful voice came from the depths of the moon lake.
“Fairy Cai, long time no see.”
Xuan Yi had never expected to encounter fairy Cai in the deep sea mystic realm.
Fairy Cai was dressed in a white dress and stood in front of Xuan Yi. A silly smile appeared on her peerless beauty, which shocked the surrounding guardians.
The deep sea secret realm was jointly controlled by the top ten magnates of the Middle East. The guards were naturally from the aristocratic families of the top ten powers. They were naturally not unfamiliar with this heaven’s chosen of the Cai family.
However, fairy Cai had always been cold and aloof. When had she ever been so warm to others.
“Young Master Xuan Yi, you’re famous.”
“Oh? Famous for what?”
Recalling their encounter in the first round of the Heaven list competition, both of them felt that it was an extremely beautiful memory. It made people want to go back to the past and relive this beautiful memory.
At this moment, the two of them were more like old friends who had known each other for a long time. Xuan Yi’s eyes were smiling as he quietly looked at this beautiful snow-like woman. Xuan Yi did not really care about the matter of him being famous.
Sooner or later, he would step onto a higher stage. It was only a matter of time he would become famous and revealing his strength in various major regions, continents, and even the entire continent, he would became famous in the nine prefectures.
“Second place in the Heaven list competition, single-handedly killing all the geniuses of the entire demon region. Your name shook the entire demon region and the ten Middle Eastern regions. Aren’t you famous yet? Do you know that you are now publicly acknowledged as the number one person among the younger generation in the northern continent?”
Fairy Cai’s face was filled with a smile, and her eyes seemed to be shining. She seemed to be very happy that Xuan Yi was praised.
“What’s the matter?”
Fairy Cai nodded.
Xuan Yi looked at fairy Cai and revealed an expression of ‘as expected’. He was wondering why fairy Cai would come here by coincidence. It seemed that she had specially come to find him. He just didn’t know what the matter was.
“The Prodigy Grand Assembly.”
Seeing the puzzled expression on Xuan Yi’s face, fairy Cai continued, “Elder Xuan has always kept a low profile. Before you revealing your strength, I don’t think anyone has told you about this before.”
“The surrounding regions will hold the Prodigy Grand Assembly every ten years. This grand assembly is organized by the prodigies of the various regions, with the intention of interacting with each other. After tens of thousands of years of development, it has already attracted the attention of countless people. Every Grand Assembly is a gathering of stars. If one can shine in it, one can be said to be one of the most influential characters in the hundred regions.”
“If one can enter the ranking board, it would be a great honor.”
The Heaven list competition was only held in the Middle East and the ten regions surrounding the Middle East.
However, this Heaven list competition covered the entire north continent!
The scale was unimaginable.
However, the ten regions of the Middle East already had so many prodigies. Then, the number of prodigies in the entire north continent and the hundred regions would be a terrifying number.
Fairy Cai smiled. She and Xuan Yi had met during the Heaven list competition, and this time, the venue of the convention wasn’t in the Middle East. If Xuan Yi were to attend, they could travel together. It would be more interesting and they could build a good relationship.
As for the experts of the Cai family, they had already planned to let the younger generation of the family get in touch with Xuan Yi. Now that they found out that fairy Cai and Xuan Yi were close, they supported her.
Xuan Yi pondered for a moment and shook his head.
“Forget it, I’m not interested in these.”
Xuan Yi smiled and rejected fairy Cai’s invitation.
He felt that this prodigy assembly was probably a gathering of a group of young people at the law enforcement realm. They would talk loudly and even fight a few rounds to determine who was better. In reality, there wouldn’t be any rewards or treasures that were worthy of people’s interest.
In terms of fighting, Xuan Yi didn’t mind beating up noobs, such as the Heaven list competition. However, the premise was that there had to be benefits. Otherwise, Xuan Yi wouldn’t be bothered to fight. In addition, the system didn’t have any missions that popped up, so Xuan Yi didn’t want to go even more.
When fairy Cai heard this, she wasn’t surprised. She had already guessed that Xuan Yi would say this, because in the heaven list competition, Xuan Yi was a very low-key existence. However, the Heaven list competition had the attention of all the regions. If one could even make a name for himself in it, in the next ten years, this region would be famous throughout the world.
Therefore, when fairy cai came to tell Xuan Yi about this matter, she was just trying her luck. After hearing Xuan Yi’s rejection, she was not disappointed. It was just as she had expected.
“It’s fine. I had already guessed that young master would not be interested. As expected, it did not surprise me.”
Sensing the confidence in Xuan Yi’s bottleneck gaze, fairy Cai took a deep breath, and her eyes shone brightly.
When Xuan Yi was at the intermediate stage of the law enforcement realm, he was already able to contend with and even kill the geniuses of the demon region. Now that he had broken through two levels, his strength had increased by many times.
And the geniuses of the surrounding regions, many of them had only reached the fourth or fifth level of the law enforcement realm. They were simply no match for Xuan Yi.
Therefore, even if the younger generation of the various regions had to squeeze their heads out to participate in the prodigy competition, to Xuan Yi, the competition was nothing.
Xuan Yi shook his head and smiled, “You go. I just broke through. I need to return to the Xuan Sword sect to settle down.”
From the beginning to the end, Xuan Yi did not say anything about taking in disciples.
He couldn’t tell what the reason was.
But Xuan Yi felt that fairy Cai’s cultivation was too high and he wasn’t much higher than her, so he was too embarrassed to say anything.
The prodigy assembky was originally a tea gathering organized by the prodigies of a large region tens of thousands of years ago. But as time passed, its influence and scale grew larger and larger. Now, it was the largest gathering in the entire north continent.
As for the prodigies, the participants had to be of the younger generation, and their talent had to be at the top of the rankings.
For example, the prodigies ranked below 20th in the heaven list were not qualified to participate in the prodigy assembly at all.
And those who could participate were peerless geniuses in the major regions. They had great influence.
