The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 71: Geniuses from the Three Kingdoms Gather
Turning his gaze away from the direction of Wuqing Sect and Fire Spirit Hall, Gu Yuan discovered that all the young generation who were on the list last year had basically entered the Baoyuan Realm.

Among them, there are even quite a few up-and-coming talents who did not participate in the Qianlong Ranking competition, but have also entered the Baoyuan realm. At a glance, there are no less than twenty or thirty people, and some of them must not have arrived yet.

However, there are only a few who have reached the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm or even the peak of the middle stage. Most of them are masters like Qian Feng, Lin Yun, Bing Ling, Zhang Feng, and Gu Qing who were ranked in the top ten in the previous session.

While Gu Yuan was looking at everyone, many people were also looking at him.

Lin Yun, the eldest disciple of Tian Yun Sect, glanced at Gu Yuan and sneered. That was all. Now his Tian Yun technique had reached the tenth level. When the Qianlong Ranking competition began, he would definitely be the first.

Wuqing Sect's Li Daoxuan looked straight ahead, his sight fell on Gu Yuan. Has his cultivation level caught up so quickly? I just don't know how his sword intent has improved? If there is no iconic breakthrough, three swords will be enough.

Yan Chihuo, the eldest disciple of the Fire Spirit Hall, also noticed the changes in Gu Yuan's cultivation. He sneered and said, "No matter how talented you are, you will become my stepping stone."

The two disciples of Luoxia Sect, Qianfeng and Qianyun, looked at each other. Qianfeng looked at Qianyun with a little more worry in his eyes.

Now he is twenty-three years old. When the new Hidden Dragon Ranking competition begins, he will definitely be over twenty-four and will miss the next Hidden Dragon Ranking competition. The responsibility of competing for the top ten falls on his junior brother. Gu Yuan's strength is improving so fast, and with the addition of Gu Youyun from Xuankong Mountain who has the blood of the Stone King and is the same age as his junior brother, I am afraid that there will be many variables in his competition for the top ten.

Qian Yun saw the worry in his senior brother's eyes and said sternly, "Don't worry, senior brother. I may not be his opponent right now, but when the Hidden Dragon Ranking begins, I will defeat him."

Qian Yun had some confidence when he said this. Although his current cultivation was only at the peak of the early Baoyuan Realm, he had already cultivated the top-level Earth-level skills to the peak of the eighth level. When the Qianlong Ranking competition began, he was confident that he could improve his skills to the tenth level and his cultivation to the late Baoyuan Realm, and compete with other sixth-grade sect disciples.

Qian Feng shook his head. It was very difficult. Although his junior fellow apprentice was gifted, he was still far behind Gu Yuan, not to mention the other sixth-rank sect disciples.

Bing Ling, the eldest disciple of the Bingjue Sect, was like a piece of cold ice, without any emotion. Her white clothes fluttered in the breeze, emitting a cold white aura.

However, after noticing Gu Yuan's cultivation level, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Feng, who was ranked ninth in the last session, and Gu Qing, who was ranked tenth, saw that Gu Yuan's cultivation had caught up. They looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes. This person is indeed a genius on par with Sikong Sheng. If they want to maintain their top ten positions in the next Qianlong Ranking competition, it may not be so easy.

Fortunately, the Black Dragon Empire's eldest prince and Luoxia Sect's eldest disciple are both over the participating age, otherwise their hopes would be even slimmer.

Mo Yan, who was observing the senior disciples of various sixth-grade sects, frowned slightly when he saw that they were all paying attention to Gu Yuan, and even their attention was more than that of him, the senior brother.

Then a red halo appeared in his eyes, and he stared at Gu Yuan closely. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his aura and that he was still practicing the intermediate earth-level technique, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Yan thought to himself: When the Hidden Dragon Ranking begins, I will let you know who is the true eldest disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect.

Everyone had different thoughts and no one was willing to submit to anyone else, but this situation was soon broken.

Roar!
Ouch!

Above the desert, dozens of huge monsters flew from different directions. There were shadowy figures on the backs of the monsters, clearly people from other sects.

"Sikong Sheng and the Great Prince of the Black Dragon Empire are here!"

On the ghost island, someone whispered.

Brush! Brush!
Before the monster landed on the ground, two young figures pounced down at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound.

One of them stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were like gods, and wherever he stood, the vitality of that place would attach to him, as if he was a natural king with an aura that encompassed all directions, and his momentum was even greater than Yan Chihuo. The other one had a feminine aura, and his eyes were glowing with scarlet blood, like a dragon waiting for an opportunity to attack, wanting to swallow someone in one gulp.

And their cultivation level is neither the peak of the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm nor the late stage of Baoyuan Realm, but the peak of the late stage of Baoyuan Realm.

His cultivation level is higher than that of all the younger generation present.

"This Sikong Sheng is only 20 years old, but his cultivation has already reached the peak of the late Baoyuan Realm. It is simply unbelievable."

"The same goes for the Black Dragon Empire's Great Prince. I didn't expect that after losing to Sikong Sheng and Yan Chihuo in the last Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition, he actually overtook them again. I'm afraid his strength has surpassed Yan Chihuo and reached the level of Sikong Sheng."

Gu Yuan did not speak as he listened to the discussions of the crowd. He was judging the strength of the two men from their auras. Finally, he came to the conclusion that his strength should be able to defeat the Crown Prince of the Black Dragon Empire, but it would be difficult to defeat Sikong Sheng.

Unless his cultivation reaches the late stage of Baoyuan Realm, he will have a certain chance of winning.

"So many people have come, and there are many acquaintances among us." The eldest prince of the Black Dragon Empire had his right hand behind his back and his left hand on his lower abdomen, looking calm and composed.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with what everyone said, that he had surpassed Yan Chihuo and was not inferior to Sikong Sheng.

"Except for Yan Chihuo who is somewhat interesting, the others are not worth mentioning." Sikong Sheng looked around, and except for a slight pause on Yan Chihuo, he simply ignored the others.

"You are still so arrogant, but you have to be careful of the genius Gu Yuan who is as famous as you. His cultivation has caught up with yours, and he may become your biggest rival this time."

The eldest prince of the Black Dragon Empire fanned the flames.

Sikong Sheng glanced at Gu Yuan, his expression still confident and calm, full of style, "Talent is good, but in front of absolute strength, everything is not worth mentioning."

The two spoke quietly, but people with good hearing could still hear them.

There was no objection from the Feitian Demon Sect, and no one from the Bingjue Sect, the Wuqing Sect, or the Luoxia Sect objected either.

After all, on the surface, no disciple in his own sect could compare to Sikong Sheng, at least on the surface.

But some people in the Fire Spirit Hall and the Tianyun Sect were dissatisfied.

The one who was not at fault in the Tianyun Sect was Lin Yun himself. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was furious in his heart. "Just wait, Sikong Sheng, I will definitely defeat you in this Qianlong Ranking competition."

The only ones who remained in the Fire Spirit Hall were several core disciples.

"He is just slightly better in cultivation. Does he really think he can definitely defeat the senior brother?"

"Hmph, after the ghost service is over, Senior Brother will definitely be able to catch up. Let's have another fight with him."

Yan Chihuo stopped the others from talking and said indifferently, "I will make him shut up when the Hidden Dragon Ranking starts."
