“What? You’re not from Beishan Main City? Strange, how could such a talented genius like you not be trained in Beishan Main City? Do other forces have such capabilities as well? Huh, indeed, I can’t sense any qi of Beishan Main City’s cultivation thods in you. What a pity, such a pity. You, just a young man, have already reached the eighth level of the Spirit Martial Realm. It’s a sha that you don’t belong to Beishan Main City. Why didn’t you join Beishan Main City?” Huang Taiji’s face was full of puzzlent.
When Yang Chen heard Huang Taiji’s words, he knew that Huang Taiji must have been loyal to Beishan Main City.
But this matter was out of his hands.
He said helplessly, “Senior Huang, it’s not that I don’t want to join Beishan Main City, but Beishan Main City has truly disappointed . If it weren’t for that, wouldn’t I, a part of the most orthodox force in North Mountain County, join Beishan Main City and support the mainstay?”
Upon hearing this, Huang Taiji was montarily stunned.
With his wisdom, how could he not understand the aning behind Yang Chen’s words? After a long while, he finally said, “After a thousand years, Beishan Main City has actually degraded to the point of disappointing talents. Really, how changeable the world is. Anyway, I, Huang Taiji, can’t control nor am I bothered to interfere with the future affairs of North Mountain County.”
“Senior Huang, your martial arts cultivation had reached the True Martial Realm back then, right?” Yang Chen asked.
“That’s true,” Huang Taiji replied.
Yang Chen was not surprised by this.
A peerless genius who could reach the seventeenth floor of the Trial Tower with his cultivation level at the Spirit Martial Realm should have the talent to reach the level of the True Martial Realm.
However, what puzzled him was…
Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Huang, with your True Martial Realm cultivation level, you were already among the best in North Mountain County. How did you end up in such a state, and even sealed your divine soul power into the Buddha statue? It can’t be that you died in battle here in Beishan Main City of your own accord, can it…”
Upon hearing this, anger surged in Huang Taiji’s eyes. After quite so ti, he took a deep breath, “There’s a long story behind this. Originally, I left this seal in hopes that the future generations of Beishan Main City would discover it and understand my grievances, as well as inherit the powerful techniques that I left behind. However, I never expected that after a thousand years, it would be you, an outsider, who would find it. Anyway, since you’ve found it, and the seal no longer has any purpose. My soul’s power can’t exist in this world for long, so I’ll tell you about what happened.”
Yang Chen attentive listened.
Huang Taiji frowned, “If nothing unexpected happened, Wu Changkong, the one who scored impressively by reaching the twentieth floor of the Trial Tower while in the Spirit Martial Realm, should be ranked first on that Tower, right?”
Yang Chen replied, “That’s correct!”
“Heh, that so-called royal genius Wu Changkong, haha, he’s an insult to the word genius,” Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
“Senior Huang, you and Wu Changkong…” Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask.
Huang Taiji folded his arms behind his back and said coldly, “Heh, during my era, the royal family ca to build the Trial Tower in North Mountain County. At that ti, Wu Changkong followed the seniors of the royal family here. Just like you, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. However, he was much stronger and had already achieved a half-step Yuan Martial Realm cultivation level. It was truly astonishing.”
“Moreover, Wu Changkong had demonstrated an extraordinary potential. He practiced martial arts techniques of the royal family and took the best elixir provided by the royal family. After the Trial Tower was built, he passed through it with ease, directly reaching the twentieth floor! Unprecedented! And he even disdainfully destroyed the Creation Divine Aura without refining it, advancing to the next floor. Entering the Yuan Martial Realm was no pressure for him at all; as long as he wanted to, he could enter the realm anyti, a place where others could only dream of!”
Huang Taiji furrowed his brow, “I was the best of the young generation at that ti. Seeing how powerful the Trial Tower was and how strong Wu Changkong was, how could I not feel a fighting intent? During my first attempt, I suffered a great loss, but I learned from my mistakes and tried again, advancing through the Tower dozens of tis. Eventually, I reached the seventeenth floor and improved my martial arts cultivation level to the Yuan Martial Realm!”
Yang Chen slowly listened.
Huang Taiji spoke with more and more hatred, “After I reached the Yuan Martial Realm, Wu Changkong also attained it. When we first entered the Yuan Martial Realm, we both competed in the Trial Tower, and both achieved the outstanding result of reaching the thirtieth floor!”
“Our achievents were identical, and neither of us could surpass the other. However, who would have known that Wu Changkong’s mind was so small and incomprehensible? He couldn’t tolerate anyone threatening him or any genius who could keep up with him. I never thought that he would hold a grudge against from then on!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen was stunned.
This Huang Taiji was truly extraordinary, daring to challenge a royal family-trained genius and managing not to lose!
Yang Chen was very clear about what the royal family represented, clearer than anyone else. Even now, he didn’t dare to be sure that he could defeat the royal geniuses because the power and strength of the royal family were still an unknown quantity in many people’s eyes.
But Huang Taiji, he actually dared to challenge the royal genius, and most importantly, he didn’t lose!
It seed that every few hundred years, there would be a monstrous genius in each era.
For instance, Huang Taiji and then Zhang Xuelian a few centuries later.
Each era would have a genius as a hallmark, making everyone rember such an extraordinary person.
However, in comparison, it seed that Huang Taiji’s fate was sowhat more tragic.
Yang Chen didn’t interrupt, and Huang Taiji grew angrier as he continued, “Ten years later, I, Huang Taiji, entered the True Martial Realm with my remarkable deanor. And another ten years later, Wu Changkong also entered the True Martial Realm and appeared in North Mountain County. He still rembered our previous encounter and wanted to challenge again with his True Martial Realm cultivation level in the Trial Tower!”
“I reached the fifty-second floor, while Wu Changkong only reached the fifty-first!” Huang Taiji said slowly.
Yang Chen was taken aback, realizing that the higher one’s cultivation level, the more difficult it would be to advance through the Trial Tower.
However, what shocked him most was that Huang Taiji had actually won against Wu Changkong by a narrow margin.
Wu Changkong, the royal genius, had reached the fifty-first floor during the True Martial Realm, while Huang Taiji had gone straight up to the fifty-second floor.
It was simply incredible.
The royal genius Wu Changkong had actually lost!
“Senior Huang, so what happened after that…” Yang Chen asked, more curious than ever.
Huang Taiji gritted his teeth, “After that, Wu Changkong didn’t do much. But before he left, he passed a ssage to my soul saying that he wanted to challenge to a fair duel. I didn’t pay much attention to it, but had a rematch with Wu Changkong!”
