Chapter 155 - You Are Not Eligible! (1/2)

The black-robed man floated in the air like a god. He cast a sweeping glance over the ground and those who were looking up at him.

Towards the question posed by the Valley Head, Su Mo, the expression in his eyes changed from dull to bright like a lightbulb had lit up within him. It was similar to that of two bright stars that lit up the entire night sky!

He lifted his gaze slightly and lightly cast a glance upon the young man, standing a short distance away from Su Mo.

This young man was wearing pure white and was staring at this black-robed man with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Over the past few days, I have been traveling around. In one instance, I saw this young man ride a flying beast that had much youthful energy, the golden-crowned eagle, flying across the sky… At that point, I became curious. Since this tiny little place has no Primal Core adepts, how could there be someone who was able to ride and conquer a beast at such a young age!? This was a flying beast at that!

“That was the first time I saw this man,” the old man said lightly.

Zhou Donghuang had originally assumed that the old man had arrived for the sake of Chen Dandan. He had not realized that the old man was here for him. His furrowed brows relaxed slightly as this realization dawned upon him.

After hearing the old man’s words, Chen Dandan’s face turned pale once again. This Primal Core adept, who had appeared like a lucky deity, was here for Zhou Donghuang!? Perhaps he had been amazed by Zhou Donghuang’s strength at his tender age and wanted to take Zhou Donghuang under his wing as a disciple…

“Senior!”

Chen Dandan glanced at the old man anxiously and said, “This Zhou Donghuang is only able to achieve all he has now at this age because he was lucky enough to receive the opportune encounter by a Primal Core adept.

“I would not be far from his level or below his level if I was the one who had received that gift from the Primal Core adept instead!

“He is not of pure blood. He is simply a random villager from the country of Yunyang, one of the Sixteen Countries that belong to the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

“As for me, I am the daughter of the Valley of the Medicine Masters’ second elder… My father, Chen Tianhe, was only around 50 years old when he became a mid Connate adept. He is a martial arts prodigy, which is rare in the Valley of the Medicine Masters!”

“I have inherited the bloodline of my father, my martial arts skills definitely surpass him by a lot!”

At this moment, Chen Dandan frantically spouted words and tried her best to undermine the young man’s talents. She was truly afraid that the old man was legitimately interested in the young man’s talents, and that he was about to recruit the young man as his disciple. if that truly happened, she was doomed to die!

However, despite Chen Dandan’s frantic shouts, the black-robed man, who was floating in the air and shrouded with a faint golden mist, ignored her and did not even spare her a glance.

The old man glanced at Zhou Donghuang and continued to speak. “Of course, although I was surprised that such a talented youth could appear in a place like this, I did not stay here because of him alone.

“In any case, in the Xuanyin sect where I’m from, although there aren’t many, there are indeed a sizeable number of younger disciples about his age who have trained to higher levels.”

Once the old man had uttered his words, be it the Valley Head, Su Mo, or the Valley of the Medicine Masters’ head elder, Yu Meiqin, left and right guardians Wang Tao or Yu Wei… Everyone’s facial expression immediately changed.

“Xuanyin sect!?”

The general populace may not have been familiar with the Xuanyin sect. However, for these four characters, as they were the elites of the Valley of the Medicine Masters as well as elder folk who had much experience, they definitely had heard of this term before.

The Xuanyin sect was one of the biggest elite sects among the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, and the most ancient one at that.

“Senior, could I ask if you are the Xuanyin sect’s Elder Qi Ming or Elder Zhong Ya?” Su Mo asked courteously, bowing once again.

According to his knowledge, in the Xuanyin sect, there were two figures who had entered the ultimate Primal Core stage.

One of them was Qi Ming, and was about 200 odd years old.

The other was Zhong Ya and was nearly 300 years old.

“Ah, I’m surprised that in this tiny little place, someone could really recognize me, I’m Zhong Ya… Hahahahaha… hahahahaha…”

The old man laughed out loud heartily. His laughter echoed in all the valleys of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

“Greetings, Elder Zhong Ya!”

Once the old man had uttered his name and acknowledged his identity, Su Mo, Yu Meiqin, Wang Tao and Yu Wei immediately bowed fervently, and their eyes had on an expression of admiration. Zhong Ya could be said to be the oldest and most experienced of the Primal Core adepts in the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun. For the past few hundred years, the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun had not yet produced any other adept that came close to Zhong Ya.

“Xuanyin sect? Zhong Ya?”

The crowd of elders and disciples from the Valley of the Medicine Masters were vaguely familiar with the background of the Primal Core adept before them, but they were not really clear on his actual identity and powers. Nevertheless, they were still welcoming towards this powerful man who had clearly crossed into the ultimate Primal Core stage.

This was only natural as in the history of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, they had not once yet produced an adept.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang had not heard of Zhong Ya either.

In his previous life, after living on Earth for a hundred years, although he had returned to the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun, he had returned directly to the country of Yunyang, which was one of the Sixteen Countries in the East Valley. All he knew was that there was a sect titled “Valley of the Medicine Masters” in the powerful supreme sect of Ziyun which led all the Sixteen Countries of East Valley. Towards other sects, he had little knowledge of them.

“After meeting him that one time, not long after, I coincidentally received some.”

After saying these words, Zhong Ya’s gaze returned to the young man. “After receiving the returning-heaven grass, I was prepared to leave this tiny little place… I had not expected that I would sense this man’s aura once again while cruising above this valley.

“At that moment, I began to think that we had a shared destiny.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Dandan’s face changed. It became paler by the minute, and her body began to shake slightly as her mood changed to become more desolate.

All of a sudden, Zhong Ya’s gaze suddenly moved from Zhou Donghuang to Chen Dandan. “At that time, he had just removed you of your meridians. He was fearlessly waiting for your father to appear… A mid Connate adept was easily killed by this man through the use of a sword made from a sword sphere.

“Afterwards, he was in total control of the situation.
