Chapter 123: Sect’s Grand Elder, 【Overlord Meridians】!
“Junior Brother Meng, those two are the top prodigies of Martial Arts Peak,” Lan Chan remarked, walking over and pointing with his gaze.
Meng Changqing snapped back to reality and followed Lan Chan’s gaze. Behind Shangguan Zhi stood two young men, around twenty-four or twenty-five, each carrying a long knife and standing tall with proud expressions.
Their eyes sparkled with brilliance.
During this period, Meng Changqing had naturally learned about the prodigies of the various branches of the sect, as well as young strongmen from other forces. Lin Xiaotian ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, at the ninth level of the Dao Creation Realm. Guo Quan ranked fifteenth, at the sixth level of the Dao Creation Realm. Lan Chan, beside him, was eleventh on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, while Mo Xiaoyu was fourth.
The top thirty on the Hidden Dragon Ranking represented the elite among those in the Dao Creation Realm, all possessing martial intent. The higher the rank, the more it indicated possession of additional advantages, such as talent, physique, or bloodline.
“They’re all strong,” Meng Changqing nodded slightly, sensing the impressive auras of the two.
Gradually, more groups arrived: Medicine King Peak, Purple Nourishment Peak, and Formation Peak, each led by their respective Peak Masters.
“Senior Brother Meng!” Shi Yao excitedly waved at Meng Changqing, with Shi Guang following suit.
The two had grown even larger, towering at ten meters high. Anyone standing before them seemed insignificant. Each step they took caused the ground to tremble.
“Junior Brothers,” Meng Changqing smiled.
The two brothers had also broken through to the Dao Creation Realm, though their auras suggested recent breakthroughs that were still unstable.
Meng Changqing wasn’t surprised by their progress. Given their formidable battle power, missing out on the Three Sects Martial Arts Tournament was unthinkable. The sect would have done everything to ensure their breakthrough.
Though they currently only possessed bloodline power and hadn’t yet grasped martial intent, they could still handle most typical prodigies.
Meng Changqing examined their status panels:
【Friend: Shi Guang】
【Race: Human】
【Cultivation: First Stage Dao Creation Realm】
“Greetings, Grand Elder,” everyone respectfully intoned. The Peak Masters addressed him as ‘Second Senior Brother,’ indicating their seniority.
Meng Changqing felt a gaze linger on him briefly. This had happened each time a Peak Master arrived, making him wonder why he was being scrutinized so closely. Although his talent was ‘remarkable,’ it shouldn’t warrant this level of attention.
“Let’s go inside. The Headmaster should be ready,” the Grand Elder said, leading the way. The group followed him into the Sect Master’s Hall. The ground was mirror-like, creating the sensation of walking on water, rippling with each step, fascinating Shi Yao who began to jump around until his master, the old Peak Master, shot him a stern look.
“Greetings, Peak Masters and fellow disciples,” someone in the hall greeted them, already seated in meditation.
He slowly stood up.
“Nephew Han’s aura is increasingly full. It seems it’s almost impossible to suppress it any longer. Break through after the Three Sects Martial Arts Tournament,” remarked the Peak Master of Formation Peak.
“Yes, that’s my plan,” Han Luoyu replied. “Please wait a moment. The Headmaster will be here soon.”
“So this is Tai Xuan Sect’s top disciple,” Meng Changqing thought.
Han Luoyu, the Headmaster’s sole direct disciple, had never lost a fight since his debut, eventually becoming first on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Meng Changqing activated his Observation Eye, revealing Han Luoyu’s details:
