Chapter 113 A Gif (1/2)

In the courtyard, the gray robed old man was all smiles as he gazed at Zhou Yuan and said, ”Kid, you should currently be at the peak of the younger generation in the Great Zhou Empire, right?”

Zhou Yuan smiled in self-mocking manner, ”The Great Zhou Empire is merely a small corner of the world, is there meaning in being the best here?”

The gray robed old man grinned as he remarked, ”At least you're a little self-aware.”

”I believe that the Great Zhou Empire's old enemy is the Great Wu Empire, right?”

”As for you… the strongest enemies you now face are the Great Wu Empire's python and sparrow.”

”Heh, it may be a little inappropriate to call them python and sparrow now. Thanks to you, these two have begun to spread their wings and soar like a true dragon and phoenix.”

The gray robed elder's gnarly fingers lightly tapped the back of his recliner as he continued in an apathetic tone, ”It is said that the crown prince of the Great Wu Empire, Wu Huang, is already at the advance Heaven Gate stage, and is only a step away from the Alpha-Origin stage.”

Zhou Yuan's pupils tightened slightly. Had Wu Huang already reached the advance Heaven Gate stage? This was indeed much further than himself.

Though Zhou Yuan had previously displayed the power to kill an Alpha-Origin during king Qi's rebellion, he clearly understood that he had been borrowing an external power. Without Silver Shadow, he would be easily crushed by any Alpha-Origin expert.

According to Zhou Yuan's estimates, he should be able to directly face an initial Heaven Gate expert with the aid of the Omni Python Qi and the Dragon's Resent Poison. His chances against an advance Heaven Gate opponent however, were less than 10%.

As for Silver Shadow, the repercussions were just far too great. Zhou Yuan did not dare to use it unless it was truly a life or death situation.

”Additionally, don't even think for a second that Wu Huang is an ordinary advance Heaven Gate stage pract.i.tioner… from what I know, he is also a fierce fighter capable of doing battle with those above his cultivation level. It is said that he once slayed an Alpha-Origin stage pract.i.tioner with the strength of the advance Heaven Gate stage.”

”His kill was based on his own abilities. Compared to him, I'm afraid that you're pretty lacking.” The gray robed old man grinned like a ches.h.i.+re cat.

Zhou Yuan's expression was rather calm in the face of the gray robed old man's teasing. He had never underestimated the crown prince of the Great Wu Empire. The cultivation resources available to the latter could only be greater than his, while the latter's Qi cultivation method, Genesis techniques, Genesis Weapons and other Genesis treasures were definitely not ordinary. The acc.u.mulation of such advantages would naturally give one the ability to do battle with those beyond one's cultivation level.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, ”The pointer mentioned by elder doesn't refer to demoralising me with this information, right?”

The gray robed elder shook his head. ”The Great Zhou Empire is too small and is akin to a bird cage. For an eagle to soar in the nine heavens, it must face the baptism of numerous storms. Staying in a small cage like this will only limit one's view and waste one's talent, ultimately resulting in the gradual decline towards mediocrity and being left completely behind by other geniuses.”

A look of thought was finally revealed in Zhou Yuan's eyes. Truth be told, he agreed with the old man's words. The Great Zhou Empire was indeed too small, while the talented individuals he could come into contact with here were far too few, preventing him from using them as grindstones to improve himself.

Zhou Yuan slowly said, ”Elder… means for me to leave the Great Zhou Empire?”

The gray robed old man smiled thinly. ”A long time ago, there was a Saint that died on this land. When his holy blood fell, it transformed into Saint Remains Domains filled with various wonders and opportunities, drawing countless geniuses to vie against each other for these treasures.”

”Only by obtaining the Saint's blood will one be able to call oneself the Saint's successor and establish a Saint foundation. This can be said to be a huge blessing and opportunity. In the future, the Saint's successor might even be able to condense a Saint fetus, open a Law Domain and maybe even… have a peek into the greatness of that Saint.”

Zhou Yuan was somewhat dazed after listening to the gray robed elder's aged voice. Everything had already surpa.s.sed the boundaries of his knowledge.

”What is… a Saint?” Zhou Yuan seemed to struggle as he asked. The word seemed to contain an overwhelming divinity, and merely speaking it made the Genesis Qi in his body grow restless.

The gray robed old man thought for a while, before he smiled and said, ”This subject is still too far off for you. You only need to know that those who may call themselves Saints are as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns in this world.”

”A single drop of blood from a Saint can turn into an azure sea.”

”When the Saint from back then died, his Saint blood and remains landed in various places, forming several Saint Remains Domains.”

”And one of these Saint Remains Domains exists in the Cangmang Continent.”

Zhou Yuan's pupils involuntarily shrunk. Was the main topic finally here after so much talking?
