Chapter 552 Utopia Opens (1/2)

On a tall cliff within Saint Genesis Peak.

Shen Taiyuan stood with his hands behind his back as he gazed upon the cultivation arenas amidst the mountains below, where numerous boys and girls were causing quite a din.

The current Saint Genesis Peak was slowly becoming filled with life.

“Zhou Yuan, it’s mostly thanks to your timely appearance in the new disciple recruitment. Or else, Saint Genesis Peak would not have managed to recruit so many good seedlings.” Shen Taiyuan turned his head to the side to look at Zhou Yuan and smiled.

Zhou Yuan shook his head. “I’m the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak. Recruiting disciples and strengthening Saint Genesis Peak is part of my responsibilities.”

He paused for a brief moment, before he asked, “Teacher Shen, do you know when the Mythic Utopia will open?”

After the conversation with Yaoyao yesterday, Zhou Yuan had become truly concerned about the Mythic Utopia. Like Yaoyao had said, he needed to at the very minimum establish a seven heavens Divine Dwelling when he advanced to the Divine Dwelling stage.

If not, his Ancestral Dragon Scripture would be stuck at the second level in the future.

The Ancestral Dragon was a first cla.s.s Qi cultivation method. Since Zhou Yuan was blessed enough to obtain it, there was naturally no way he would allow it to be stuck at grade 7.

However, he also understood that a seven heavens Divine Dwelling was not easy to establish, and required unimaginable Genesis Qi foundations. Among the current ten Chosens of the Cangxuan Sect, Zhou Yuan estimated that not a single one of them would dare to proclaim with confidence that they would be able to establish a seven heavens Divine Dwelling when they ascended to the Divine Dwelling stage.

If even the likes of them were unable to achieve it for the time being, it would be even more impossible for someone like Zhou Yuan.

There was still a tremendous gap he had to cross to reach that level of Genesis Qi foundation, a gap that was essentially impossible to overcome with ordinary training.

It was precisely this reason that the ten great Chosens would often leave the sect to search for opportunities outside. Only by repeating this process would one be able to continuously strengthen one’s Genesis Qi foundations.

The soon to open Mythic Utopia was one of the biggest opportunities in Cangxuan Heaven.

It was likely that the many prided geniuses from the various factions in Cangxuan Heaven were already eagerly waiting for the Mythic Utopia to resurface. From what Zhou Yuan knew, even someone as mischievous and lazy as Chu Qing, was being forced to train and adjust his condition by sect master Qing Yang in preparation for the Mythic Utopia.

Upon hearing this, Shen Taiyuan replied in a soft voice, “The prided geniuses from the various factions of Shengzhou Continent are already stirring restlessly. According to my estimates, the Mythic Utopia is already very near.”

“As for the exact timing, I do not know either.”

Zhou Yuan nodded. He could only calm himself down for the time being.

“On the topic of the Mythic Utopia, you led Saint Genesis Peak to first place in the Genesis reservoir ceremony, and as a result obtained the most quotas for us. However, I ultimately kept only ten of the quotas, and gifted the rest to the other six peaks.”

Shen Taiyuan sighed deeply, before he continued, “I do want to give more opportunities to the disciples, but the Mythic Utopia is filled with untold perils, and even the Chosens’ lives will be at risk. You should also know about the current situation in Saint Genesis Peak, and without sufficient strength, one will only be a liability inside.”

“Rather than sending our disciples to a certain death, won’t it be better to give away some of the quotas and let the other peaks owe us a favor.”

Zhou Yuan was not unhappy with this decision, but instead deeply in approval. This was quite cunning of Shen Taiyuan, and it was great that he had not lost his composure after obtaining so many quotas. After all, the current Saint Genesis Peak could not dispatch so many qualified disciples to the Mythic Utopia, and would only suffer tremendous losses if they forced their way.

This would instead incur resentment from the other peaks, as it would be a blatant waste of quotas.

“Teacher Shen has made a wise decision.” Remarked Zhou Yuan.

Shen Taiyuan nodded with a smile. Given his position, there was actually no need for him to share such information with Zhou Yuan. However, Shen Taiyuan regarded Zhou Yuan very highly, and did not view him as an ordinary disciple.
