Chapter 909
When Zhou Yuan’s voice echoed across the area, countless gazes converged on his body, and numerous whispers arose .
“So that is the chief pavilion master of the Tianyuan Region, Zhou Yuan?”
“From what I can see, his Genesis Qi cultivation is only at the seventh Divine Dwelling . ”
“If so, wouldn’t that mean that there hasn’t been much change since he fought Lu Xiao two months ago?”
“Hehe, if that is the case . . . the Tianyuan Region will likely be thoroughly humiliated today!”
“ . . . . . . ”
There were all manners of people present, including numerous scouts and spies from various factions . As such, they were naturally sharper than the average individual . A single look was all that was needed for them to realize that Zhou Yuan had not made much progress in his cultivation for the last two months .
This discovery immediately made them gloat over the Tianyuan Region’s predicament . After all, Chen Xuandong was not someone the likes of Lu Xiao could compare to .
Two months ago, it had taken Zhou Yuan almost everything to defeat Lu Xiao . If he were to face Chen Xuandong, who was even stronger, he would most likely lose in quite an ugly manner .
Zhou Yuan ignored the skeptical and gloating gazes . He cupped his fists together towards Chi Jing, Mu Ni and the other grand elders before walking forward . He slowly arrived above the deep crevice .
Chi Jing pointed at the air as she gazed at Zhou Yuan’s back . Ripples spread from her finger, forming a giant mirror of light . The mirror s.h.i.+mmered as innumerable ancient Genesis Runes flowed across its surface, revealing Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong’s figures .
At the same time, light erupted from the many towers in the Tianyuan Region’s several hundred prefectures . Strings of light weaved together in the air, forming similar mirrors that reflected the Endless Crevice .
The Tianyuan Utopia was no exception .
Practically every member of the four pavilions was gathered at the round plaza of the Four Spirits Origin Tower . They held their breaths as they stared at the giant mirror that appeared in the sky . It drew in countless gazes from the Tianyuan Utopia .
Zuo Ya’s brows were tightly knitted together, and she could not help but exclaim, “What the heck? He hasn’t ascended to the next minor cultivation stage? How will he be able to match Chen Xuandong in this state!”
“No one will think you’re a mute if you don’t talk!” Yi Qiushui, who was nearby, cast an icy glare at her .
Zuo Ya bristled in anger, retorting, “Did I say anything wrong? Although it becomes harder to unlock the later Divine Dwellings, he might have succeeded if he had poured all his effort into Genesis Qi cultivation . He didn’t break through because he had spent all his time on the mountain and forest spirit runes . It wasn’t a wise decision!
“Even if he did manage to complete the final two spirit runes, it would only enhance his Genesis Qi by 7 million . But Chen Xuandong’s Genesis Qi foundations have reached almost 30 million stars, and do you think he lacks external boosting methods similar to the four spirit runes?
“Zhou Yuan is not just representing himself, but all the Divine Dwelling stage experts of our Tianyuan Region . If he loses, our entire generation will be too ashamed to show our faces in the future . ”
The surrounding Fire Pavilion members secretly nodded their heads as their brows furrowed in worry .
Yi Qiushui indifferently said, “Zhou Yuan naturally has a plan . You just can’t see it because you’re too shortsighted . There’s no need to shake everyone’s hearts . If you keep uttering nonsense, you’d better return me the rest of the origin coins . ”
Zuo Ya had only managed to return half of the ten thousand origin coin debt due to her bet with Yi Qiushui .
With Yi Qiushui pinching her tender spot, Zuo Ya’s pretty face instantly turned ashen . However, she did not dare to say anything else . She could only stomp her foot in anger and say, “Fine, I’ll be waiting to see what kind of plan he has!”
The bickering between the two young ladies finally came to a stop . Although many of the four pavilion members were gathered at the plaza, the atmosphere was somewhat stifling, not lively .
Yi Qiushui raised her head and stared at the giant mirror in the sky . She involuntarily clenched her hands tightly and tried to conceal the worry in the depths of her eyes . Chi Jing had taken away Zhou Yuan the moment he had left his secluded cultivation . Hence, she knew nothing about the results of his two months of training .
