Chapter 179: Chapter 179: That’s What You Call a Genius_l
Translator: 549690339
There were less than a hundred cultivators left at the early stage of the Golden Core.
On the other hand, there were still thousands of people at the middle and late stages of the Golden Core.
However, this phenomenon changed over the next two days, leaving fewer than a hundred people who had surpassed the 5,000th layer.
Most of these hundred people were on the Outstanding Talents List.
The requirement to reach the 6,000th layer was a Tier 10 Golden Elixir, although there might be some exceptions, but not many.
After five days, those who had the ability to reach the 6,000th layer were naturally slower than the first group.
“It seems that the top ten of this trial will come from among them,” Wu Gang from the Wanjian Pavilion smiled as he looked at the location of the 6,000th layer of Tianti Road.
Above the 6,000th layer, the situation on Tianti Road would change dramatically.
Before the 6,000th layer, there was only the willpower and pressure exerted by the Tianti Road itself.
However, after the 6,000th layer, they would face many different obstacles such as sword intent, artistic conception, the will of Tianti Road, and the suppression of their cultivation base. In this situation, strong divine consciousness was particularly important, and those without three-striped seals basically couldn’t go any further.
Of course, the biggest characteristic of Tianti Road was its unpredictability. It was said that someone with a low cultivation base once reached the 8,000th layer, shocking everyone.
At the moment, the first group of people who had climbed to the 6,000th layer were all recuperating. Even Jian Yiyi didn’t rashly move forward. Tianti Road was not about who was faster, but who could climb higher.
How could they proceed without adjusting their state properly?
“Everyone, it’s our turn now,” the Third Prince Nangong Aotian stood up first and said with a smile.
His gaze swept over everyone one by one.
Members of Wanjian Pavilion, Huntian Sect, Qiushui Pavilion as well as the four sects were all present, as well as some demon cultivators who had seals.
Nangong Aotian’s attention eventually fell on Jian Yiyi.
All this way, he had always regarded the other party as a formidable enemy.
“I have a suggestion,” Nangong Aotian continued, seeing everyone’s silence, “Every step above the 6,000th layer is crucial. In order for us to give our best effort, I suggest we first have a round of elimination, so that those who qualify can continue to climb. What do you all think?”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately asked, “How do we eliminate candidates?”
There had never been such a situation on Tianti Road before.
However, some people indeed tried to bring the others down while they were focused on climbing. If there was a way to avoid that, they would be happy to try.
Nangong Aotian smiled and said, “Those without a seal automatically quit, those with one-striped seals leave first, then those with two-striped seals leave a day later, and finally those with three-striped and above.”
Buzz!
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a great deal of dissatisfaction.
Many people had struggled to climb to this point, how could they possibly accept Nangong Aotian’s proposal that they just give up?
“I agree,” a brawny man from the Leihuo Sect with a knife said.
“I also agree,” a disciple from the Taixuan Sect said.
Soon, as if they had agreed in advance, disciples from several powerful sects echoed Nangong Aotian’s words. “Pfft, boring.” Jian Yiyi sneered.
Lin Ziyan did not speak.
With the two Pavilions not speaking, it was left up to Lingxiao Sect. Qingning and Nangong Xue exchanged glances but did not respond.
Tianti Road was a place of opportunities, and in the world of cultivation, opportunities had to be seized by force.
Sometimes, even if they knew it would not benefit them, they couldn’t simply watch others take the advantage.
In the secular world, the saying goes, it’s more painful to watch others make money than to lose money yourself.
Qingning and Nangong Xue didn’t mind this point. However, right now, Nangong Fu had gathered most of the powerful cultivators, and if there was a conflict at this time, it would pose a great threat to them.
“It seems that everyone agrees?” Nangong Aotian smiled.Selfishness is human nature.
Elimination of the weak is also a natural selection.
At this moment, a discordant voice rang out.
“Make way, make way! Why are you all blocking the way and not moving? There are still 4,000 more levels above, hurry up and leave! Really!”
The crowd parted to make a path.
Under everyone’s gaze, Qin Changqing casually stepped on the 6001st stair while gnawing on a chicken leg.
“Wait!” Nangong Aotian’s eyes narrowed.
Qin Changqing stopped in his tracks and looked back, asking, “What’s up?” “What’s up?
Qin Changqing looked back at Nangong Aotian with a puzzled expression. Nangong Aotian furrowed his brow, “Didn’t you hear what I just said?”
“I heard.”
“Then you still…”
“It’s none of my damn business.” Qin Changqing disdainfully said, “Is Tianti Road owned by your family? Everyone came to participate in the trial, and as long as they can withstand the willpower pressure of this path, they are qualified to continue upward. What kind of bullshit selection are you talking about? You can screen yourselves if you want to, I want to move upward.”
“How dare you!” As the Third Prince, Nangong Aotian had never been spoken to like this by anyone, “Qin Changqing, right? Don’t think that just because you defeated a few worthless trash from Tianjian Academy, you’re invincible. My Dayan Dynasty simply didn’t bother to deal with you, otherwise, you would have been dead when you entered Yinxu Prefecture!”
“Ah yes, yes, yes, are you done? I need to hurry along.” Qin Changqing looked at the others, “Let’s go, everyone. It’s just a mad dog, no need to listen to his nonsense. My Lingxiao Sect can easily wipe out the Dayan Dynasty, so don’t worry, fellow cultivators.”
Everyone looked at each other.
Those who could reach the 6,000th level were all strong.
Some were loose cultivators with extraordinary talents and weren’t willing to submit.
Others were sect geniuses whose forces were weaker than Dayan, and although they didn’t dare to openly fight against Nangong Aotian and his allies in the so-called screening, it didn’t mean they were content.
With Qin Changqing taking the lead, the situation immediately changed.
“How audacious! ”
Nangong Aotian’s right foot stomped heavily on the ground, and the golden spiritual qi burst out like a tidal wave.
Boom, boom, boom-
The spiritual qi turned into a giant beast-shaped creature, which was a flood dragon. It seemed to have gained wisdom and charged at Qin Changqing under Nangong Aotian’s control.
“It’s the Emperor-level skill of Dayan Dynasty!”
Outside Tianti Road, sharp-eyed people instantly recognized the profoundness of Nangong Aotian’s cultivation method.
“This is the sign that the Emperor-level skill is about to reach completion. Once it takes another step, the flood dragon will turn into a real dragon, with a boundless future… It is rumored that this Third Prince has extraordinary talent since he was young. It seems that he has cultivated to the four-striped level, no wonder he dares to block the way on Tianti Road.”
“Now Qin Changqing is in trouble, Tier 6 Golden Elixir against a four-striped level, even with great talent, it’s impossible to win.”
“What a pity, if Qin Changqing were given another fifty years, once he stepped into the Golden Elixir Peak, he could fight against Nascent Soul cultivators with his strength.”
“In the end, he’s still too young.”
The conversation between the elders took place in an instant. They watched as the Flood Dragon swallowed Qin Changqing, feeling a little sentimental but not much sympathy.
The cultivation world has always been like this. There are always geniuses, but the real geniuses are those who can actually grow up.
Talent is one aspect, but cultivation still depends on the outcome.
As long as you’re strong, you’re a genius.
But not because you’re a genius, you’re strong.
There’s a huge difference between the two.
“Senior Brother (Husband)!” Nangong Xue and the others looked worried. They had wanted to stop Nangong Aotian, but Qin Changqing had already instructed them before entering Tianti Road to find their opportunities and not worry about him..
