Chapter 194: Chapter 194: The Awakening of the Strong

"I’m afraid that wouldn’t be appropriate!" Ma Ning took a deep breath and said.

Hearing this, Ye Fei looked at Ma Ning seriously for a moment and said plainly, "Do you know what you’ve always been lacking?"

"Lacking what?"

Ma Ning was a bit stunned by Ye Fei’s unexpected question, but he immediately asked in confusion, "Please enlighten me, Master!"

"What you’re lacking is the awareness of a strong person!"

Ye Fei said as he walked forward, "A strong person is called strong not just because of great power, but also because of the heart of a strong person! A heart that seeks strength! A heart unafraid of greater power! Without any of these, your path ends here!"

With that, Ye Fei stepped forward, leaving Ma Ning behind in silence, clearly pondering Ye Fei’s words.

Luo Wenchang!

A legendary warrior of China decades ago!

Back when Luo Wenchang dominated China, Wang Tong, Shen Guobang, and the others were nothing but insignificant juniors!

Thus, as it was Luo Wenchang’s birthday banquet today, the Xuanyin Sect was naturally full of distinguished guests.

"Master, I just asked around about today’s arrangements for the Xuanyin Sect," Ma Ning said, now energized after Ye Fei’s guidance. When he mentioned the name Luo Wenchang, his previous uneasiness was gone.

Seeing this, Ye Fei nodded in satisfaction before asking, "What arrangements?"

"For today’s birthday banquet for Luo Wenchang, the Xuanyin Sect has prepared many excellent things. Among them is a Ghost Dao Magic Artifact we need! But it’s unclear how it will be distributed," Ma Ning quickly explained.

"The Ghost Dao Magic Artifact is among them?"

Ye Fei’s eyes lit up when he heard Ma Ning’s words.

With his mother Su Lingyun currently unconscious at home, this Ghost Dao Magic Artifact was something Ye Fei was determined to obtain!

Ye Fei immediately said, "That’s perfect; it’ll save me the trouble of demanding it from them! Since that’s the case, let’s wait here."

As he said this, Ye Fei casually sat down in a spot and began waiting.

Seeing this, Ma Ning immediately stood by Ye Fei’s side.

Not long after.

People gradually arrived, and soon four imposing figures appeared and took their seats on the elevated platform in front.

The crowd was immediately filled with exclamations.

"The Nine Nether Ghost Hand Mu Yong, the Netherworld Seven Transformations Yin Zhihang, the Heartless Swordsman Liu Tianjue, and the Seductive Ghost Lady Jia Sanniang!"

"These... these are all Ghost Dao experts!"

"Indeed! And each of them is the absolute core of the Xuanyin Sect. Normally, they spend their time traveling and rarely deal with sect affairs. For them to all gather today, it’s truly an eye-opener for us!"

"Not only that! Look at their auras; they’re all at the Innate Realm!"

Hearing this, someone immediately expressed doubt, "How could there be so many Innate experts? Isn’t it said that China has no more than five Innate experts in total?"

"Five?"

A Martial Artist nearby immediately laughed, "That’s only what’s known on the surface! While achieving the Innate Realm isn’t easy, China is a vast nation with countless talents. There are bound to be more than just a few Innate experts. Many people simply stay hidden and don’t reveal themselves, which is why they’re not known."

"I see!" The person suddenly understood after hearing this.

The Martial Artist smiled and said, "In any case, it’s already a great fortune for us to witness these four Innate experts today!"

The two continued their conversation like this.

Others were equally awestruck in their discussions, their words filled with reverence for the Innate experts.

Listening to these conversations, Ma Ning’s perspective was broadened as well.

Previously, he had thought that becoming Innate was already an extraordinary rarity!

But now he realized that there were far more Innate experts than he had imagined.

"Ahem!"

Amidst the discussions, Mu Yong, seated at the center, suddenly cleared his throat and stood up.

The crowd instantly fell silent upon seeing this.

Mu Yong smiled and said, "Fellow cultivators of the Chinese Cultivation World, thank you for taking the time to attend the birthday banquet of our sect’s Elder Sect Master Luo today! On behalf of the Xuanyin Sect, I extend a warm welcome to all of you!"

As he spoke, Mu Yong gestured slightly, and several disciples of the Xuanyin Sect came forward carrying trays.

Mu Yong unveiled the cloth covering the trays one by one before continuing, "Elder Sect Master Luo is very pleased to see everyone here. He originally planned to meet you all personally, but he’s occupied with some important matters at the moment. Therefore, he specifically asked us to present these gifts to all of you on his behalf!"

Gifts?

The crowd was intrigued and all turned their attention to the trays.

There were four trays in total. On the first tray was a jade bottle, presumably containing pills. The second tray held several talismans. The third tray contained a secret book, likely a Ghost Cultivation Method.

However, Ye Fei didn’t even glance at the first three trays.

To him, those were nothing but trash!

His focus was entirely on the fourth tray.

On it lay an ink-black flute, its surface gleaming faintly. However, its exact material remained indiscernible.

From the fluctuations emanating from the flute, Ye Fei instantly determined that this was the Ghost Dao Magic Artifact he needed!

Just then, someone from the crowd asked, "We have so many people here, but there are only four treasures. How does the Xuanyin Sect plan to distribute them?"

"Everyone, please be patient!"

Mu Yong chuckled and said, "Elder Sect Master Luo has long decided on the distribution method!"

"As you all know, Elder Sect Master Luo is a legendary warrior of China. Each year on his birthday, he enjoys nurturing the younger generation. This year is no exception!"

After these words, Mu Yong slowly sat down and looked towards the Seductive Ghost Lady Jia Sanniang beside him. Seeing this, Jia Sanniang let out a couple of coquettish laughs before rising and saying, "Brother Mu is absolutely right. For today’s banquet, Elder Sect Master Luo has decided to let everyone compete for these items."

"Compete? How will the competition work?"

The same curious voice asked again.

"It’s very simple, you know!"

Jia Sanniang gave another enchanting laugh and continued, "Since this is about nurturing the younger generation, anyone under the age of thirty here can participate! As for the competition method, it will naturally depend on one’s own skills!"

Depend on one’s own skills?

The younger cultivators below were immediately eager to prove themselves upon hearing this.

Although not everyone among them practiced the Ghost Dao, their youth and adaptability meant it wasn’t too late to start.

Most importantly, many of them were aware that Mu Yong, Jia Sanniang, and the others seated above were themselves recruited into the Xuanyin Sect through similar competitions in the past, ultimately achieving the Innate Realm!

With such an opportunity for rapid advancement, who could bear to miss it?

But before they could step up, Jia Sanniang spoke again, "Oh, I almost forgot to mention—this year’s birthday competition will also include the participation of the four of us’ disciples. We kindly ask all other participants to show some mercy!"

As she said this, Jia Sanniang beckoned casually, and a young woman with a similar seductive demeanor appeared and stood by her side.

Similarly, three other young individuals emerged from behind Mu Yong, Yin Zhihang, and Liu Tianjue.

When the disciples of the four Innate experts stepped forward, everyone below gasped in shock!

Show mercy?

As disciples of Innate experts, these four were undoubtedly extraordinary. At the very least, their cultivation was at the Late Stage of Hua Realm, with two even at the Peak of Hua Realm!

How could anyone compete with them?

Mu Yong coldly laughed at the sight.

The arrangement was, of course, intentional. They wanted to ensure that no one dared step up to compete.

After all, these were treasures personally prepared by Elder Sect Master Luo, far superior to the usual trivial offerings!
