Chapter 672 The Highest Honor (2/2)

Peak master Lianyi said, “Are we really going to let Zhou Yuan challenge all six peaks?”

Sect master Qing Yang nodded. “Wu Huang’s appearance has caused a rapid rise in the Sacred Palace’s reputation. If Zhou Yuan succeeds in taking the techniques of the other six peaks, it will be the first time such a thing has happened in our Cangxuan Sect. News of this will also grow our reputation and let our disciples regain their confidence.

“The Sacred Palace may have Wu Huang, but my Cangxuan Sect has Zhou Yuan…

“It will definitely be a monumental occasion if he succeeds. However, I do hold some doubts on whether he will be able to defeat all six peaks in succession,” said peak master Ling Jun.

He was not trying to make things difficult for Zhou Yuan, but merely stating his truthful opinion.

Although Zhou Yuan had grown tremendously, the other Chosen, especially the upper ranks like Chu Qing, Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan, would not be easy opponents when boosted by their peaks.

It was precisely this reason that had stopped Chu Qing in his tracks back then.

“Whether or not he succeeds will be clear to everyone tomorrow.”

Sect master Qing Yang chuckled as he gazed at the Cangxuan Sect, which now had an air of excitement. He said, “Truth be told, even I am a little excited. I’ve yet to see such a grand event ever since becoming sect master.”

The other peak masters faintly nodded in agreement. Challenging all six peaks in succession and gathering all seven Cangxuan arts was something that none of them had ever witnessed.

For the hundreds and thousands of years, many geniuses had arisen from their respective peaks. Even so, not a single person had managed to achieve such a feat. From this, one could see how difficult the Chosen challenge was. With regards to how Zhou Yuan would perform tomorrow, even existences like them felt somewhat curious for a time.

...

When Zhou Yuan returned to Saint Genesis Peak, he found that the disciples were practically crazy with excitement. Countless people flocked to the entrance of his cave dwelling, the deafening noise nearly causing a cave-in.

It lasted till Yaoyao could no longer take it and threw out Tuntun. With a roar, the excited disciples immediately scattered.

However, even though they had scattered, the entire Saint Genesis Peak was still covered in a frenzied atmosphere.

After all, the implications behind this matter were far too important to Saint Genesis Peak. Saint Genesis Peak had been in the decline for so many years. Who could have expected things to suddenly turn around; not only were their gates reopened but they had even produced a true Chosen.

If Zhou Yuan won the Chosen challenge tomorrow, from then on, every disciple of Saint Genesis Peak would feel a little prouder when they walked within the sect.

It would be the greatest glory unique only to their Saint Genesis Peak.

No one would be able to sleep in Saint Genesis Peak tonight.

Of course, Saint Genesis Peak was not the only one; the disciples of the other six peaks were likewise both nervous and excited. A grand event like this was truly rare, after all. If Zhou Yuan succeeded and won the six arts from their peaks, it would undoubtedly be a hit to their pride.

Various emotions churned within the numerous disciples, making it impossible for anyone to calmly cultivate.

The restless night quietly pa.s.sed in this manner.

When dawn arrived the next day, the countless disciples of the Cangxuan Sect opened their red eyes and peered towards the distant Saint Genesis Peak.

Deep within a certain cave dwelling in Saint Genesis Peak, Zhou Yuan opened his eyes.

He smiled as he looked towards Yaoyao, who was standing in front of him, but did not say anything. He rose to his feet before walking forward. Strong confidence poured out of him as his clothes flapped around him.

Today, this generation of Cangxuan Sect disciples would watch him ascend the peak.

Two years ago when he first entered Saint Genesis Peak, he heard of the Chosen challenge from Shen Taiyuan. Back then, he had treated it as a story because the Chosen within this story were existences he could only look up to in admiration.

Two years later, he had become the lead actor in this story. The Chosen he had once looked up to would now stand in his path and witness him achieve the highest honor in the hearts of the countless Cangxuan Sect disciples.
