Chapter 289: Chapter 133: Grasping the Divine Weapon Again!

Li Guanyi still wanted to ask the elderly gentleman before him.

That royal offspring, a perfect match for the one who had stolen his Fate Grid.

A perfect match for the illegitimate child of the Emperor of Chen Country.

Chen Chengbi was overjoyed and said, "I was just about to say, your strength seems endless, just like a normal person’s muscles and bones cannot burst forth with peak condition for long, even Martial Artists must follow this principle."

"But looking at you, old man, it seems like you are using your body’s ultimate bursting ability as if it were normal performance, your strength is unceasing, your blood is robust, and your sinews and bones are extremely strong. Could it be that you have the Martial School Fierce General’s physique, Golden Muscle and Jade Bone, Dragon Veins and Tiger Marrow?"

After thinking, Li Guanyi replied, "You’ll have to tell me first, who exactly are those participating in the great ritual competition and what abilities do they possess, then I’ll tell you."

Chen Chengbi widened his eyes, looking at the suddenly cunning youngster, as if seeing a fox, he said, "You, not even Gongsun Wuyue back in the day had your cunning..." he sighed, "Alright, alright, the Sword Saint’s grandson, he’s at the Third Layer Heaven Realm."

"With unmatched Sword Qi that cuts through anything, it seems he has learned the Taoist Sword Control and the Confucianism Heart Sword."

"He once walked through Sword Tomb with bare hands, never touched a single sword, hailed as the Sword Saint lineage’s most likely candidate to receive the title of a peerless swordmaster, once cut a river in three breaths with the simplest horizontal slash."

"Yuwen Hua, the nephew of Yuwen Lie, the son of the Yuwen Family Head."

"The third layer of Multi-Story Building, a practitioner of the Military School martial arts, proficient in archery and horsemanship, in the Tuyuhun’s annihilation war, he was extremely valiant and earned the merit of charging into the fray first, considered to be a future famous general."

"As for the others, there are those under the Turkic Seven Kings, from the Geshu Tribe of the Turkic, his father Geshu Yuyu, is the Iron Futu’s General, Geshu Yin also followed his father and brothers into the charge, hacking until his blade dulled, also at the third layer of Multi-Story Building."

Li Guanyi fell silent, "Their talents are that good?"

All at the third layer?

The elderly man shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, they aren’t as good as you."

"You don’t know?"

Chen Chengbi looked at Li Guanyi skeptically and said, "It’s open to the younger generation, naturally before one becomes fully established, that Sword Saint’s grandson is nineteen years old, Yuwen Hua is twenty-three, Geshu Yin, who have been tempering his body, is already twenty-six."

"All are the world’s geniuses, with guidance from teachers and no lack of resources, stepping into the third layer is only natural, you’re only fifteen, do you mean to say that in ten years, you’ll still be at the second layer of Multi-Story Building? That would be a joke, wouldn’t it?"

The elder curled his lips, "So you, young man, are at a disadvantage."

"Oh, there’s only one person who’s younger than you, and that’s the offspring of my Chen Family."

"I remember, just two months ago he had his fourteenth birthday, one year younger than you, at the peak realm of the second layer of Multi-Story Building, strange, could it truly be a world-class prodigy, heard he’s had an adventurous life out there, had serendipity, ranked sixth among Martial World masters, they plan to take him into seclusion for some time."

"Seems like he’s attempting to reach the third layer of Multi-Story Building before the great ritual competition."

"His name is Chen Yuyun, since his father passed away in the Puyang chaos, he’s been quite oppressed."

Chen Yuyun.

Jade needs no mention, Yuyun, bright and upright, also refers to sunlight.

Li Guanyi cast his eyes down.

To ordinary people, the character Yuyun signifies brightness and uprightness, but it can also represent the Emperor’s aura as [the sun hangs high, emitting bright light], as with words, which could signify hopes for a child to study literature or to practice geomancy.

The intent and expectations behind this name are not inferior to those of the three characters Li Zhaowen.

Murderous intent began to surge in the youth’s heart.

Ordinary people do not know that the Emperor has an illegitimate child, so the old man simply sees a peculiar descendant of the Chen Country Royal Family. But once one becomes aware of the notion of [the Emperor hiding an illegitimate child], many issues come to light, and the Emperor believes he has been thorough with his secret.

The only ones aware of it, besides himself and the child’s mother, were confined within the Imperial Palace and had never stepped out, not considering Hou Zhongyu’s thoughts nor Li Guanyi’s experiences.

the youth exhaled.

Chen Chengbi said, "His upbringing was quite tough, but he seems to always encounter serendipity. I heard that when he was born, he clutched a piece of jade in his hand, a symbol of immense Qi Fortune. I’ve seen it before, that jade is oddly shaped."

The old man gestured and frowned, "Its form is smooth, with three indentations on it, also covered with Kui Dragon Pattern; such a texture doesn’t seem like jade."

"Looks like it could be part of a ritual object matched with a tripod."

Li Guanyi’s pupils shrank violently.

"You know, don’t you? The tripod’s three legs drop down inside a jade pan for placement, it’s a rare ritual object with a pan and tripod, with jade as Qi and water pattern as its movement, almost like the embodiment of Qi Fortune, right? Kid, are you listening?"

Li Guanyi slowly raised his eyes, and he instinctively wanted to touch the bronze tripod at his chest.

But he suppressed the urge.

His face bore a sincere and harmless warm smile, he said:

"A ritual object?"

"A tripod pan?"

Chen Chengbi approved and said:

"Yes, that kid seems eager to figure out the function of this jade pan, but he doesn’t have a clue. I studied Qi Observation Skill and could see that Chen Yuyun’s Qi Fortune is strong, with a presence of military weapons and a strange sense of nobility, clear yet converging together."

"But that jade remains as motionless as a dead pig in his hands."

"It seems like he received a great item from somewhere, trying to add luster to his son by force. A while ago, the head of the Qi Observation magicians from the Academy came to Chen Country to observe and calculate the Qi Fortune for the offspring of the royal family."
