214: 305 306 214: 305 306 Chapter 305: Hostile Winds from the Ancient Clan After arriving in Hangzhou, the inner sect elder returned.
Fang Ting and the others rode a flying boat toward the Xuantiansheng Sect.
Hangzhou was even larger than Yuanzhou.
Along the way, Yin Xianhong briefly introduced the Xuantiansheng Sect.
“As another immortal sect, Xuantiansheng Sect is overall much stronger than the Mystical Immortal Palace.
Among the twenty overlord-class powers, it’s ranked in the top five.” Fang Ting chuckled.
“Top five ans fifth.
If they were first, you’d just say first.
Second would be ‘top two,’ third is ‘top three,’ and fourth is ‘top four.'” Yin Xianhong was montarily stunned, unable to refute him.
“Back then, Senior Brother Shen brought Muge here.
All I know is that Xuantiansheng Sect is powerful—anything more, I’m not sure.” They arrived before the main gates of Xuantiansheng Sect.
Sure enough, it was even grander and more imposing than the Mystical Immortal Palace.
After all, the Mystical Immortal Palace’s strength lay in its connections, but Xuantiansheng Sect was genuinely a top-five powerhouse.
Just as before, Yin Xianhong presented the token given by Fang Mu Ge.
Very soon, a disciple led them inside.
As an Immortal Body, Fang Mu Ge, like Fang Ying, was imdiately made a Holy Son of the Xuantiansheng Sect.
The standards of his residence in every respect were exceedingly high.
Seeing Fang Ting and the others, he was delighted.
“Uncle, Aunt, Master Yin, please co in!” Fang Mu Ge led them around his residence and cultivation grounds.
Though the spiritual energy was indeed abundant and there were many rare treasures, aside from cultivation areas, there wasn’t much else.
Fang Ting couldn’t help but sigh, “I thought you’d be living even better than Ying’er, but your cave abode is really rather simple.” Fang Mu Ge scratched his head.
Outside, he was the Holy Son, but before his uncle, he was still just a junior.
“You don’t know, Uncle.
After I ca to Xuantiansheng Sect, even though I was nad Holy Son, any random core disciple here is much stronger than .
I can only spend all my ti cultivating, trying to catch up.” It wasn’t that he didn’t want to enjoy himself—he simply didn’t have the ti.
Xuantiansheng Sect had gathered the top talents from hundreds of provinces nearby.
Though their talent might not match Fang Mu Ge’s, they started earlier and had always enjoyed the best cultivation resources.
It was normal for them to be stronger than Fang Mu Ge for now, but sooner or later, he’d surpass them.
Fang Mu Ge understood this well.
That’s why he worked so hard, wanting to speed up the day when he could firmly establish himself in Xuantiansheng Sect.
Fang Ting reminded, “The path of cultivation values gradual progress.
You mustn’t rush greedily after quick results.” “I understand,” Fang Mu Ge replied earnestly.
As before, before long, so elders and disciples ca to greet them and build rapport, though not as many as at Mystical Immortal Palace.
At that mont, a disciple hurried in.
“Reporting to Holy Son, the Sect Master has summoned you to Qingtian Peak.” Upon hearing this, the three visitors had not yet reacted, but the elders present exchanged looks of surprise.
Soone like the Sect Master almost never appeared unless sothing major was happening.
Even elders like them might see the Sect Master only once every few centuries, or even every thousand years.
Now the Sect Master had summoned the Holy Son—could sothing big have happened?
Fang Mu Ge asked, “Senior Brother, do you know why the Sect Master has summoned ?” “I’m not sure.
It may be because the Nie clan has arrived.” Upon hearing this, the elders instantly understood.
Their expressions grew complicated, and so even looked worried.
“Seems the visitors co with ill intent.” “Holy Son, you’d best hurry over.” On the way to Qingtian Peak, Fang Mu Ge asked the elders for details.
One elder explained, “The Nie clan has deep history with our Xuantiansheng Sect.
There have even been a few conflicts, so turning violent.
If they’re here, it can’t be for anything good.” Fang Mu Ge instantly understood—they’d co to stir up trouble.
“Is the Nie clan very powerful?” An elder explained, “The Nie clan is an ancient aristocratic family.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the qualifications to even co into conflict with our Xuantiansheng Sect.” Soon, they reached Qingtian Peak and entered a grand hall.
At the head of the hall sat a tall, imposing man.
His aura was as deep and vast as an abyss or ocean.
Though he sat there, there was a sense of ethereal unreality about him, as if he were one with the very laws of heaven and earth—utterly inscrutable.
This was none other than the Sect Master of Xuantiansheng Sect, one of the true titans of the Tianyuan Realm.
“Greetings, Sect Master,” Fang Mu Ge bowed deeply.
The Xuantiansheng Sect Master nodded.
“These two are the Nie clan’s Patriarch and Divine Son.” Seated below, a man with a refined air and a faint, inscrutable smile was the Nie clan’s Patriarch.
At his side stood a young man in green robes, radiantly handso—the Divine Son of the Nie clan.
The Nie Patriarch spoke, “So this is the Immortal Body.
Truly extraordinary.” Although it sounded like praise, there was an undercurrent of sothing else in his tone.
The green-robed young man beside him let out a snort, “Immortal Body at the second stage of Nascent Soul?
Tsk tsk.” His voice dripped with disdain.
He’d thought Immortal Bodies were supposed to be incredible, yet so of his peers within the clan surpassed this.
He was clearly disappointed.
Besides, the Nie clan and Mystical Immortal Palace had always been at odds—he took this chance to mock.
If he hadn’t been busy with other affairs over the years, he’d have co long ago.
The Sect Master of Xuantiansheng Sect remained utterly expressionless, as calm as still water.
“This child only joined Xuantiansheng Sect ten years ago.
How could he compare to a scion of an ancient aristocratic family?” His aning was simple.
You, born into an ancient clan, were nurtured from before birth with countless treasures and spiritual resources.
Since birth, you’ve consud all manner of rare and wondrous items, cultivated with the very best—yet you dare look down on a youth from a humble background of the sa generation?
The Nie clan’s Divine Son seed slightly unsettled, but quickly regained his composure.
“This junior’s original intent in coming was to spar with the Immortal Body.
I didn’t expect him to be so weak, so I lost my composure out of disappointnt.
I hope the senior will not take offense.” Though this was an apology, he still managed to sneak in another jab.
The Nie clan and Xuantiansheng Sect had always been at odds.
Given an opportunity, neither side would let it slip by.
Now, with such a disparity in realm, a fight was impossible, but at least he could take the chance to deride him, attempting to shake his Dao heart.
Chapter 306 : Lotus Unfolds, Enemies Scatter After Fang Ting had defeated Ziyuan Holy Son, a Nascent Soul ninth stage cultivator, in a single move, none of the top-ranked prodigies from any continent’s rankings had co to Cangzhou to challenge him.
The reason was simple: Ziyuan Holy Son at the ninth stage of Nascent Soul was easily defeated by Fang Ting in a single strike, which ant Fang Ting was truly at the True Saint realm.
At that ti, among all the continent prodigy rankings, only the top twenty strongest continents had a number one at the True Saint realm.
If they went to challenge Fang Ting and won, it was only expected; but if they lost, it would be utterly humiliating.
Such a losing proposition, of course, they would never do—so no one ca to challenge Fang Ting.
Ten years had passed since then.
Fang Ting had advanced from True Saint third stage to True Saint ninth stage—a leap that made him the number one in all of Tianyuan Realm.
As for the Nie clan’s Divine Son, Nie Zhe—currently the number one on the prodigy ranking of his own continent—he was only at the fourth stage of True Saint.
The crucial point: Fang Ting was in the barren Cangzhou, spending his days in idleness, while Nie Zhe had access to the best cultivation resources and worked diligently.
By comparison, Fang Ting seed almost inhuman.
But if you compared him to Fang Mu Ge, the situation reversed completely.
A fourth stage True Saint versus a second stage Nascent Soul—Nie Zhe did have the right to look down on Fang Mu Ge.
As the atmosphere in the hall grew tense and awkward, Fang Ting stepped forward.
“I’ve heard that the Nie clan’s Divine Son is ranked first on Songzhou’s prodigy list.
I wonder, may I challenge the Divine Son?” It was only then that everyone noticed the three people standing behind Fang Mu Ge.
Until now, they’d thought these were simply Fang Mu Ge’s attendants and hadn’t paid them any mind.
Even Fang Mu Ge was surprised: [I’d forgotten that Uncle is also on the prodigy rankings, but I wonder if his strength can match that little guy over there.] Nie Zhe glanced at Fang Ting.
“And who are you?” His tone was lofty, as if to say: What right do you have to challenge ?
Do you have the qualifications?
Fang Ting replied, “I am Cangzhou’s number one on the prodigy ranking.
It shouldn’t be a problem for prodigy list cultivators to challenge each other, right?” “Hm?” This imdiately caused the Nie clan Patriarch and the Xuantiansheng Sect Master to react.
Their gazes sharpened as they looked at Fang Ting.
With their cultivation, even if Fang Ting suppressed his cultivation base, they could clearly see his true realm.
What shocked them was this: among the top twenty continents, the current number one on each prodigy ranking was at most at the fourth stage of the True Saint realm.
How could Fang Ting, the number one from a remote continent, have reached the ninth stage of the True Saint realm?
It didn’t make sense!
Nie Zhe, unaware of Fang Ting’s true cultivation, scoffed, “Cangzhou?
Never even heard of such a remote backwater.” He wasn’t being arrogant—just stating fact.
Compared to their great continents, Cangzhou really was tiny and obscure.
Fang Ting directly released the aura of a True Saint.
“Divine Son Nie, just answer—will you accept my challenge or not?” Fang Mu Ge was shocked.
[Wow, Uncle really is amazing—he’s already a True Saint!] “A True Saint too?!” Nie Zhe was astonished, instinctively wanting to nod.
If the challenger was also a True Saint, then he was qualified to fight.
Just then, the Nie clan Patriarch quickly transmitted a ssage: “Do not accept his challenge—he’s ninth stage True Saint.” Nie Zhe was not just surprised—he was utterly shocked and incredulous.
Even among the strongest top twenty continents, the number ones were only at the third, fourth, or fifth stage.
Fang Ting was already ninth stage.
That was so incredible it was hard to believe.
He doubted the Patriarch: “This is impossible!
He can’t be on the prodigy ranking—he must be from the older generation!” He could accept that soone his age was a bit stronger, but being so vastly superior was sothing he could not accept.
The Nie Patriarch replied, “He truly is ninth stage True Saint, but whether he’s really Cangzhou’s prodigy number one is uncertain.
Leave it for today—the Immortal Body will take a long ti to catch up, and there will be plenty of chances to suppress him in the future.” Nie Zhe was unwilling, but dared not argue.
The Nie Patriarch stood.
“We have other matters—let us take our leave for today.” He imdiately took Nie Zhe and left.
They’d originally co to put down Fang Mu Ge, the Immortal Body, but suddenly Fang Ting had appeared.
Whether or not Fang Ting was truly of the younger generation, one thing was certain—his cultivation was far beyond Nie Zhe’s.
If it really ca to a fight, it would be a total rout.
If they stayed, they would only embarrass themselves.
Fang Mu Ge was dumbfounded by what he saw.
[What just happened?
Why did they just leave?] He had no idea of Fang Ting’s true cultivation, so he couldn’t understand the Nie clan duo’s actions at all.
The Xuantiansheng Sect Master asked, “Muge, aren’t you going to introduce us?” Fang Mu Ge ca back to his senses and quickly replied, “Sect Master, these are my Uncle and Aunt, and this is my Master.
They’ve co to visit .” The Sect Master then sent a voice transmission, “Your uncle is really on Cangzhou’s prodigy list?” He still found it hard to believe.
Fang Mu Ge replied firmly, “Of course!
He’s only twenty years older than I am.” Hiss— Even with all his experience and power, the Xuantiansheng Sect Master was shocked.
Fang Ting’s cultivation was just too frightening.
Among the twenty strongest continents of the Tianyuan Realm, even the most powerful number one prodigies were only at fifth stage True Saint.
Fang Ting, from a remote continent, was already ninth stage.
This was completely beyond his understanding—sothing like this had never happened before.
The Sect Master asked again, “What is his physique?” Fang Mu Ge replied, “Flawless Sacred Body.” Upon hearing this, and knowing that the Flawless Sacred Body had no realm bottlenecks, the Sect Master instinctively assud Fang Ting had advanced through force-feeding on pills, his foundation hollow.
But after a closer inspection, he found that Fang Ting’s realm was extrely solid—not at all the result of forced advancent through dicinal resources.
This left the Sect Master in awe, and he said, “I see.
Would you be willing to join my Xuantiansheng Sect?” Ah?
This question left all four of them stunned—they had not expected him to be so direct.
Fang Ting replied, “Thank you for your kind offer, Sect Master, but I have no intention of joining any sect.
I only wish to look after my family in Cangzhou.” If it were Mystical Immortal Palace, Fang Ting might have considered—but Xuantiansheng Sect just wasn’t for him.
It wasn’t for any other reason—Fang Ting simply preferred Yuanzhou.
The Sect Master was a bit disappointed, but said no more.
Before leaving, he instructed Fang Mu Ge to spend more ti with his guests.
