Chapter 539: Chapter 395 Supreme List (Must Read)_2

“Brother Chen is indeed as extraordinary as the legends say.”

“Brother Zuo is likewise exceptional.”

“I used to think there were no peers under the heavens to match me, that obtaining the Ascending Immortal Fruit would be as easy as reaching into a bag. But only upon meeting Brother Chen today have I realized what a true rival is,

to have encountered you is indeed a fortunate matter for Zuo.”

Merely through a clash of auras, Zuo Chengzong could determine that Chen Yuan was not inferior to him, his entire cultivation having absolutely reached the Perfect Realm of Reach Profound, and with a fierce weapon to aid him, he truly was a formidable adversary.

But far from feeling wary, he was rather filled with joy, feeling that he had finally met a worthy opponent.

He had dominated the Jianghu for many years, undefeated among his peers, and it was out of loneliness that he returned to the mountain to cultivate. He had not expected that upon leaving seclusion, he would encounter a peerless talent.

It was indeed a fortunate event in life.

No wonder the grandmaster had observed the Heavenly Phenomena before his arrival and said there were signs of decline in his fortune.

Perhaps this would be fulfilled through Chen Yuan. As for others, like Wei Wuya and Xuanming, although their strength was remarkable, Zuo Chengzong had never taken them to heart.

He carried the heart of true invincibility.

“Chen feels the same.”

Zuo Chengzong felt Chen Yuan was a formidable enemy, and likewise, Chen Yuan found Zuo Chengzong to be a worthy opponent; among his peers in martial arts, he too had never been defeated.

To encounter such an opponent in one’s lifetime was a fortunate event for both sides.

Only by defeating all challengers can one condense the true intent of Enlightenment, that was Chen Yuan’s view.

Zuo Chengzong laughed casually:

“Good, then let us battle in three days.”

“Good.”

After speaking, Zuo Chengzong ignored everyone present, including the Princely Heir of Beiliang and the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Demon Hall, Wei Wuya, as if they were not even worthy of his attention.

If someone else had displayed such a demeanor, they would have immediately drawn the discontent of the crowd, provoking challenges.

But when Zuo Chengzong exhibited this attitude, instead, most people found it quite normal.

However, the absence of hostility between the two disappointed many in the audience.

After Zuo Chengzong left, Chen Yuan also did not continue to linger on the top floor, leaving together with Zhang Xuan and others.

…

…

At the summit of the Immortal Mountain in Martial Emperor City.

This place was the forbidden area of the entire Martial Emperor City, where, without the City Lord’s permission, even the members of the Ye Family would be executed for secretly ascending the mountain, a precedent having already been set for this policy.

The summit was shrouded in immortality mist year-round, and not even True Masters who had undergone the Yang Transformation could see through the fog to glimpse what lay within. Some said that the peak of Immortal Mountain was the heart of the Primordial Crystal Veins in Martial Emperor City.

Some claimed that the summit of Immortal Mountain was the core of the great formation of the entire city.

Others suggested that the summit of Immortal Mountain concealed Martial Emperor City’s greatest secret.

In summary, regarding the summit of Immortal Mountain, the world had many theories, but these ultimately remained just conjecture, never definitively settled.

On the day that the top fifty talents of the Hidden Dragon List arrived at the Ascending Immortal Tower, a middle-aged man clad in dark black robes flew to the outskirts of the white fog.

The man exuded an extraordinary aura, his gaze sharp, with an air of dominance as if he formed a world of his own, both merging with and repelling the surrounding void just by standing there.

Facing the white fog, the man bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice:

“Disciple Ye Xiangnan seeks an audience with the master!”

If outsiders were witness to this scene, their hearts would certainly tremble with shock and astonishment.

For Ye Xiangnan was none other than the City Lord of the world’s number one city, also ranked second on the Supreme List, truly a character of True Monarch level. As for the first on the Supreme List, ever since the Ascending Immortal List was established, the position had remained empty.

However, some believed the old madman from Wudang Mountain was the number one in the world.

But the Ascending Immortal Tower had never listed him on the Supreme List.

A languid voice emanated from within the mist:

“Is the battle for Ascension about to begin again?”

“Yes.”

“Are there any promising new talents this year?”

Ye Xiangnan said in a heavy voice:

“Reporting to Master, this year’s battle for Ascension, in your disciple’s view, is probably the most formidable in over two hundred years, with several prodigies emerging,

who I estimate might catch Master’s eye.”

“Tell me about them.”

“Firstly, there’s the disciple nurtured by Wudang Mountain, born with a Purple Thunder Heavenly Heart, of exceptional talent, hailed by him as the most gifted of Wudang Mountain in five hundred years.”

“If the old madman personally trains him, he must be a seedling worth noting.”

“Secondly, there’s Chen Yuan, the Green Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, previously unremarkable, but ever since a sudden breakthrough a year and a half ago, he has soared through the Qingyun ranks, tying for first on the Hidden Dragon List with Zuo Chengzong.”

“Could he be the reincarnation of a True Monarch?”

“Not yet confirmed, but his origins are indeed unusual, and his rise too rapid—truly unprecedented, and there might not be a successor to his speed.”

The voice from within the mist chuckled lightly:

“It is rare to rise from obscurity to first on the Hidden Dragon List in a year’s time, but such things are not unprecedented in the world. That chap surnamed Xiang, his rise was even more swift and unmatched.”

“Indeed, Grand Ancestor Chu possessed an extraordinary talent, blessed by the great Qi Fortune of the world.”

“Is there anyone else?”

“The current Saint Heir of the Heavenly Demon Hall, Wei Wuya, whom Dongfang Sheng holds in high regard and has even sent a Demon Lord to protect him for the battle. With his Innate Demon Eyes, his potential is tremendous.”

“Dao Xuansheng of Biyou Palace, with an Innate Taoist Body…”

“These four… indeed seem quite remarkable.”

“There are also several others who are very exceptional. If it were any other time, they could have ranked within the top three of the Hidden Dragon List, but compared to these four, they fall somewhat short.”

Ye Xiangnan bowed and said.

“Hmm, since you believe this battle for Ascension is the most fierce in nearly two hundred years, then let’s increase the difficulty a bit. You’ve almost finished condensing the Ladder to Heaven, begin by screening through that first.”
