Chapter 47: Qin Ershi’s Invitation, The Gathering of Geniuses!

After the elders left, Banished Immortal Peak once again returned to its peaceful state. Jiang Chen lay back leisurely in his chair, whistling contentedly. He had always been a hard worker, but he found this relaxed lifestyle much more to his liking. The pursuit of diligence, after all, was merely a means to a better life.

“Congratulations, Holy Son, on making another step forward and entering the Great Master Realm!” Yan Ruyu approached with a smile, her eyes alluring and her face full of joy: “With the Holy Son being so extraordinary, how can I ever catch up with you?”

“I thought I could keep pace with the Holy Son, but now it seems the gap is only widening! There’s hardly anyone in the world who can match the Holy Son’s talent!” This wasn’t mere flattery from Yan Ruyu, as Jiang Chen’s progress was incredibly rapid.

Reaching the Great Master Realm before the age of twenty was something unheard of in history, even surpassing ancient emperors! Generally, reaching the Great Master Realm by the age of one hundred was considered the mark of a peerless genius.

Jiang Chen, while holding Yan Ruyu’s cheek and stretching it into a round shape, chuckled, “The Great Master Realm is nothing special! And you shouldn’t underestimate the talents of this generation. They are formidable!”

“Though none are quite like me, there are those who have reached the Great Master Realm by the age of thirty. Moreover, how could you fall behind when I am here?”

To prepare for the upcoming Supreme Level slack-off, Jiang Chen planned to properly cultivate Yan Ruyu. She, who was already talented enough to be the saintess of the All Pleasure Sect, had now been further enhanced by the Innate Yin body, making her potential almost unimaginable.

‘If she’s well-cultivated, even though she may not reach my level, she won’t be far behind.’

“Only you, Holy Son, could downplay reaching the Great Master Realm like this,” Yan Ruyu said, her face covered in disbelief. Many aspire to reach the Great Master Realm, spending their entire lives without even glimpsing its vista.

“Others would announce it to the world if they were in your place. Only you, Holy Son, could remain so composed.”

“This individual, who prides himself as comparable to the Ancestral Dragon of the Great Qin, possesses exceptional talent, worthy of the name ‘Qin Ershi.'”

Yan Ruyu expressed surprise, having heard rumors that Qin Ershi had only recently broken through to the Life-Death Realm. She hadn’t expected him to be concealing his true Great Master Realm strength.

As they were discussing, Wang Hu respectfully entered and said, “Holy Son, Qin Ershi of the Great Qin Dynasty has sent an invitation, inquiring if the Holy Son wishes to participate.”

“Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. What’s the matter?” Jiang Chen inquired.

“Qin Ershi is hosting a gathering of prodigies, inviting heroes from all over. Most of the top geniuses have been invited, including several formidable ones from various clans and even a few divine children from the ancient royal clans. It seems Qin Ershi has invited the Holy Son, likely aiming to increase the prestige of the gathering,” explained Wang Hu.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then replied, “Tell them, I’ll go.”

Normally, Jiang Chen wouldn’t bother with such a gathering of prodigies. However, he suddenly remembered that there were a few things within the Great Qin Dynasty’s territory he wanted. These were opportunities originally meant for Dugu Yun, which Jiang Chen planned to use for Yan Ruyu to boost her growth significantly.

With the Supreme Palace event approaching, and Jiang Chen unable to refuse attendance, he planned to empower Yan Ruyu to step forward and sweep through those geniuses, potentially earning him the rewards for slacking off.

“It seems the news of the Holy Son’s breakthrough has spread,” commented Yan Ruyu with a smile. “Qin Ershi can’t sit still anymore. He probably wants to gauge how far the Holy Son has progressed.”

“The grand scale of Qin Ershi’s gathering isn’t just about me. He probably wants to assess the depths of various geniuses attending, like those divine children from the ancient royal clans. It’s uncertain if the Holy Son of the Ye family will attend, but if he does, it could be quite interesting,” Jiang Chen said calmly.

The Holy Son of the Ye family, one of the three great geniuses of the human race, was the most mysterious, having not appeared for many years and remaining in seclusion. In the original story, they appeared much later, and Jiang Chen wondered if his actions might prompt an earlier emergence. If so, that would indeed make things more interesting.
