Chapter 673 First Choice (1/2)

It was the winter month, and snowflakes were drifting across the land.

However, the atmosphere within the Cangxuan Sect was boiling like a cauldron, melting even the snowflakes that filled the sky.

Countless Cangxuan Sect disciples stood everywhere, figures present as far as the eye could see. With such a grand event happening today, every disciple had put aside their training in order to personally watch this event.

Countless excited gazes were cast towards the heart of the Cangxuan Sect.

Sect master Qing Yang, the peak masters and the many elders of the sect were gathered in the air, their gazes observing the entire sect.

Under these countless watching gazes, a Genesis Qi cloud rose from Saint Genesis Peak. Two slim figures stood atop the cloud, a male and a female, Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao.

Zhou Yuan was quite handsome, but when put next to the otherworldly beauty beside him, any points he had in looks and presence instantly plummeted. If he was not the main star today, countless gazes would have only looked towards Yaoyao, regardless of whether the gazes belonged to a guy or a girl.

Yaoyao currently had Tuntun in her arms, and she was gently stroking its soft fur. She naturally saw the innumerable figures that filled her vision. This was the first time she had seen such a grand line-up in her two years at the Cangxuan Sect.

Under the crowd’s attention, the Genesis Qi cloud came to a stop in the sky.

Zhou Yuan surveyed the area before him where six giant peaks towered over the land. As he took a closer look, six astonis.h.i.+ng pillars of Genesis Qi light suddenly dashed into the sky from the top of each peak.

Bzz!

The Genesis Qi pillars reached straight into the clouds, stirring the wind and clouds.

Six powerful Genesis Qi undulations spread, accompanied by a Genesis Qi pressure that caused the expressions of the numerous disciples to change. The disciples could see six figures silently seated within each light pillar.

These were the six Chosen that were ready to meet Zhou Yuan in battle.

Cangxuan Peak, Chu Qing.

Sword Cometh Peak, Kong Sheng.

Snow Lotus Peak, Li Qingchan.

Hongya Peak, Shang Chunqiu.

Lightning Prison Peak, Lu Jingshen.

Spirit Rune Peak, Ye Ge.

The strength of these six Chosen had soared to extremely powerful levels with the Genesis Qi boosts from their respective peaks.

Zhou Yuan concentrated on the six figures seated within the glowing pillars. His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “The homeground advantage is really quite substantial. No wonder even senior brother Chu Qing failed to complete the Chosen challenge.”

Every gaze was glued to Zhou Yuan. They wanted to see who his first choice would be.

Amidst these gazes, Zhou Yuan displayed little hesitation as he smiled at Yaoyao and said, “I’m getting off.”

Yaoyao looked at him, seemingly c.o.c.king her head in thought as she replied, “If you achieve a total victory, I’ll accompany you for a few cups tonight.”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes brightened as he could not help but say, “Will there be other services?”

Yaoyao was taken aback before frost began to gather in her clear-as-a-lake eyes. Her tone turned icy as she said, “It seems that your breakthrough has also made you more daring.”

In her arms, Tuntun also looked at him as if he were a dead man. It felt that if this fellow continued in this manner, Zhou Yuan would not die at someone else’s hands because Yaoyao would soon beat him to death.

Upon sensing the piercing iciness, Zhou Yuan s.h.i.+vered as his instincts shouted at him to leave.

He instantly leaped down from the sky, somersaulting in the air as he fell like a shooting star towards one of the giant peaks below.

Low gasps sounded from the numerous disciples when they saw the peak he had chosen. “His first battle is the Hongya Peak!”

This was surprising to the majority. After all, Ye Ge’s side clearly appeared to be the easiest amongst the six, while the Hongya Peak’s Chosen, Shang Chunqiu, was ranked fourth amongst the ten Chosen, which made him a much more difficult opponent in comparison.

On the tallest peak in Hongya Peak, Shang Chunqiu, with a grave expression, watched the figure descend from the sky and ultimately land standing up in front of him.

Light flowed on Shang Chunqiu’s skin, and blood was rus.h.i.+ng within his body, churning with tremendous power.

With the Genesis Qi boost from Hongya Peak, he was more powerful than he had ever been. Despite this, Shang Chunqiu’s eyes were filled with wariness because Zhou Yuan’s seemingly thin body seemed to contain the might of a terrible primordial beast.

Shang Chunqiu slowly said, “I did not expect junior brother Zhou Yuan to select my Hongya Peak.”

Zhou Yuan grinned at Shang Chunqiu. If asked which of the other six Cangxuan arts interested him the most, there would only be one answer: the Mythic Saint Body!

The little Mythic Saint Body he practiced was a simplified version that originated from the Mythic Saint Body.

Hence, it could be said that he and Shang Chunqiu shared the same roots in external cultivation. Of course, it must be noted that the latter practiced the true Mythic Saint Body, which held far more wonders than his own little Mythic Saint Body.

If Zhou Yuan managed to obtain the Mythic Saint Body, it would be a smooth transition from the little to the real deal because he had already acc.u.mulated plenty of comprehension and experience.

As for the other five arts, even if he obtained them, Zhou Yuan would have to invest a substantial amount of time and energy into studying them. In contrast, the Mythic Saint Body would be the quickest way to raise his battle power.

This was the reason he had selected the Hongya Peak first.

“Please guide me, senior brother Shang,” said Zhou Yuan.
