Chapter 1430 - 457: The Real and Fake Yang Zhun, Power and Trials, A Teaming Interlude, Cai Qiu’s Hidden Strength_2
The speed of an Advanced Snow Phoenix already rivals that of an ordinary Xianyang Level, and as for those at the Beast King Level, there’s no need to mention them. The Beast Emperor Level Snow Phoenix...
Had a narrow escape being hunted by three Beast Emperor Level Snow Phoenixes known for their speed!
Reflecting on eight months ago, standing atop an Ice Sword Tree in the White Phoenix Forest, feeling those sharp gazes from the mountain peak; now looking at Li Wuji’s record, Xia Hong didn’t see it as unimpressive, but rather thought its gold content was even more significant than that of the first-ranked Li Dingyang.
Yet, there was still no specific description of Li Wuji’s strength. Xia Hong frowned and continued to read patiently:
[Third on the Heavenly List: Heavenly Cyan Divine Sword Li Baobao, Wei Bo Qingmu County, a descendant of the Landgrave’s five generations, together with Li Dingyang, known as the Wei Bo Double Marvels, with Peak of Xianyang Realm cultivation, Caiqiu Calendar Year 291, aged 39, defeated Fu Qianming in the Hezang Town, at that time, Fu Qianming was at the First Transformation Tribulation Body Realm, with a strength of about 105 Jun]
Finally, there is...
First Transformation Tribulation Body Realm, 105 Jun strength!
Finally having a reference for the Tribulation Body Realm, Xia Hong’s eyes showed a touch of excitement. After carefully finishing reading the information of the third rank, couldn’t help showing a look of amazement:
"This year, only 45 years old, with Peak of Xianyang Realm cultivation, this Li Baobao’s qualifications are comparable to mine and Xuanling’s, indeed a feudal town, truly a place where hidden talents lie!
However, this Wei Bo..."
Xia Hong’s eyes flashed with a different color, pondering for a moment before quickly continuing to flip through. In no time, he finished reading the top twenty rankings.
"The top three are all from Wei Bo, and they occupy thirteen of the top twenty ranks. Considering the overall strength of Wei Bo, compared to the other three feudal towns, in terms of top talents, be it quality or quantity, they are leading by a significant margin. Indeed, being beset by disasters can truly temper one’s resilience."
Xia Hong’s final rhetorical question was not without reason.
In the past five days, among the numerous books he perused in the Book Collection Tower, there happened to be one called "Four Vassal Centennial Chronicles", which roughly recorded some major events that occurred in the four feudal towns of Moao River in the past century.
The most notable were two calamity-level deceitful monster invasions: the Mountain Shocking Nightmare over eighty years ago and the Beekeeper over thirty years ago. The former caused the Hezang feudal town to lose over half its territory, with more than seven million casualties, while the latter caused Wei Bo feudal town to suffer the death of no fewer than five million people, leaving both towns greatly weakened and rumored to still not have fully recovered to this day.
Comparatively, it seemed Hezang was worse, but in fact, it was not; Wei Bo borders the largest water system in the Moao River, the White Tiger River. Other than the Beekeeper chaos more than thirty years ago, this feudal town has almost never been free of natural disasters like floods, plagues, cold waves, and beast tides in nearly a century, occurring every three to five years, no wonder one could say ’beset by disasters’ without exaggeration.
"Such an environment actually gave birth to more top talents. Calamities can indeed temper a community’s resilience; the ancestors weren’t wrong with these words!"
Xia Hong shook his head slightly, then looked down at the Heavenly List booklet in his hand, a hint of understanding showed in his eyes.
"Among the top 20, the most valuable reference should be this ranked 18th from Hezang Feudal Town, Wan Qinghe, with the Peak of Xianyang Realm cultivation. The last time he made a move was two years ago, with a strength of 51 Jun!"
Considering the old man in green clothing seen in the Book Collection Tower, Xia Hong could basically deduce that the weakest strength of a Tribulation Body Realm is also over 100 Jun; the strength span at the Peak of Xianyang Realm varies greatly, with the weakest being unknown, slightly stronger ones being above 50 Jun.
"If I continue reading, the data should still become more accurate..."
After pondering for a moment, Xia Hong continued to turn the pages, but this next flip stunned him instantly.
[21st on the Heavenly List: Southern Wilderness Spear Demon Yang Zhun, Chen Cang Yanling County, Adviser to the Governor Mansion, possessing Peak of Xianyang Realm cultivation, originating from the Southern Wilderness but with extraordinary talent, and his talent in the way of the spear was personally praised by the Landgrave of Chen Cang. In Caiqiu Calendar Year 295, with one spear, he fought alone against six Beast Kings in the Blood Miasma Plain, ultimately slaying four, with a strength of 41 Jun]
Southern Wilderness Spear Demon, Yang Zhun, Peak of Xianyang, 41 Jun strength...
Could not be mistaken?
Xia Hong confirmed the name once more, then, seeing the phrase "originating from the Southern Wilderness but with extraordinary talent," instantly furrowed his brow.
"The Southern Wilderness refers to the Moao South Slope Territory according to the Four Vassals, so this Yang Zhun has a high probability of being from Beishuo, strength of 41 Jun, fighting alone against six Beast Kings—when did he gain this strength?"
Absolutely impossible!
If Yang Zhun had this level of strength, then two years ago during the Hongmen Battle, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to win.
"No, no, Caiqiu Year 295 just happened to be the year of the Hongmen Battle, absolutely impossible, so there are two Yang Zhun..."
Xia Hong’s expression froze, suddenly recalling a relic from Lu Yang’s early infiltration into Beishuo: the Yang family originally started with three brothers, the eldest Yang Zhun, the second Yang Fa, and the third Yang Jian. But in recent years, the third Yang Jian scarcely appeared in the Nine Towns, with rumors saying he was nearing a hundred without breaking through to the Xianyang Level and likely deceased.
"No, likely, the one from Beishuo is Yang Jian, and the one left in Chen Cang is the real Yang Zhun. Now this is getting interesting!"
After understanding, Xia Hong’s expression became peculiar, and his precaution against Beishuo instantly increased a few notches.
Since Yang Zhun remained in the Four Vassals area and even became an Adviser to the Governor Mansion of Chen Cang Yanling County, the ties between Beishuo and Chen Cang must be quite deep.
"The Adviser of Yanling County capable of leading troops must be guarded against!"
