Chapter 1392 The Once Younger Generation (1/2)

It was a majestic, brightly lit hall. Four long white jade tables had been placed in different corners of the hall, with four stern and powerful figures silently seated behind each one.

Several figures were seated behind these four individuals, all giving off powerful Genesis Qi undulations. These were evidently the four sects’ most powerful experts.

Everyone in the hall was currently watching the young man leisurely walk in with mixed feelings.

Those present had repeatedly heard of this young man over the years as he rose to fame in the all-heavens, and were especially shocked when they heard of the battle for Guyuan Heaven a few years ago.

No one had expected that the one to ultimately best the Sacred Race sacred heaven pride would not be a heaven pride from any of the other heavens, but a young man that had walked out from Cangxuan Heaven.

This made many of Cangxuan Heaven’s top experts sigh deeply in pity, however, that was all they did. After all, Zhou Yuan had only been a Heavenly Sun stage expert at that time, a level that was still too low in the eyes of Nascent Source and Law Domain experts.

No one could have predicted the huge shock they would receive when they heard news of Zhou Yuan again.

From the latest reports, Zhou Yuan had distinguished himself in the Stone Dragon Secret Domain and defeated the Sacred Race’s strongest Law Domain expert. What’s more, he was now popularly known as the number one expert under the Saint stage in the all-heavens.

As for how much truth there was to this title, everyone present was naturally well aware...

In the hall, three sect masters carefully observed Zhou Yuan’s figure, still feeling somewhat dazed even with him standing right before them. After all, they had been present in the great battle where he had been forced to leave Cangxuan Heaven years ago.

Back then, Zhou Yuan was merely a young practitioner who had recently stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage. The only reason why they had remembered his name was because this extremely daring young man had shattered the saint stamp and scattered its fragments throughout Cangxan Heaven, resulting in the subsequent chaos that had plagued the land for many years.

No one would have imagined back then that the young Divine Dwelling expert would have grown to this stage when he returned...

The atmosphere was rather silent as everyone’s hearts churned like a stormy sea.

Amidst the silence, Zhou Yuan’s gaze swept across the hall, finding sect master Qing Yang seated in the host’s seat. He had not changed much despite the many years that had passed, although his Genesis Qi cultivation had clearly progressed. However, the once immeasurable power in Zhou Yuan’s eyes was now seen through in a single glance.

Behind sect master Qing Yang were several familiar figures.

The peak masters of Cangxuan Sect’s many peaks.

The Snow Lotus Peak master Liu Lianyi, the Sword Cometh Peak master Ling Jun, the Hongya Peak master Gu Tianhong, the Spirit Rune Peak master old man Bai Mei...

In the past, these peak masters had possessed strength that he yearned for, but had now been surpassed by him.

Zhou Yuan’s gaze shifted to the table left of sect master Qing Yang, where a hunched old man in hemp clothes sat. Although the old man gave off a declining aura akin to the setting sun, Zhou Yuan could sense an endlessly sharp sword will within it that was seemingly capable of piercing the heavens.

It was the Sword Seeker Sect master, the Heavenly Sword Sovereign.

On the other side of sect master Qing Yang was a beautiful mature woman in palace garments. Her figure was round in all the right places, making her extremely charming. It was the palace master of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace, Shan Qingzi.

The final individual was a bare torso middle-aged man that looked plain and simple like an old farmer. Mottled markings covered his skin and the power spreading from his body made the air around him tremble faintly.

Sect master of the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall, Venerable Lord Gu Jing.

It could be said that the top powers of Cangxuan Heaven were currently gathered in this hall.

On the host’s seat, sect master Qing Yang was likewise observing the young man that was walking in. His face had lost much of its previous immarity, replaced by a seemingly untouchable calmness. His eyes were still as bright as before, but no longer contained the recklessness of youth. Instead, they held some kind of impenetrable deepness.

Sect master Qing Yang felt a little dazed. In a short dozen years, the young man from back then now made him feel a slight pressure.

However, he was rather gratified by this development.

At the end of the day, Zhou Yuan was someone who came from the Cangxuan Sect.

There were also many events that made it clear that Zhou Yuan was a person who valued his ties and not someone who would forget you just because he rose to greater heights.
