Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

Central Continent was abuzz with excitement. The gathering of the younger generation had gradually begun, setting the stage for great opportunities that sprung up across several areas. One such event was an ancient, unadorned Big Bell descending from the heavens, flattening countless mountains.

Deep within the veins of the earth, a sudden Dragon's Roar echoed out, drawing the attention of many powerful beings.

As time passed, the heated discussions shifted from Chen Pingping and Zi Ji to peerless geniuses whose brilliance dazzled everyone. Every move they made became the focus of all eyes.

Such was the case with a young prodigy from the west. Half Demon Race bloodline coursed through his veins, and when it erupted, he became nearly invincible among his peers.

Even the Saintess exclaimed, "This person has the makings of a Great Emperor."

He was different from many others—powerful, unflustered, and confident, with a towering stature. Every gesture he made resonated with a grand and imposing aura.

He truly had the demeanor of a Young Emperor.

The maid sneered, "Miss, are you looking for a Tao Companion?"

At these words, her face turned red as she scolded, "Go away, what would a little brat like you understand?"

Another highly watched individual was a prodigious young girl from East Victory Divine Continent known only as Alan, with no surname. She had delicate features, lacking the striking beauty of many other female geniuses. Instead, she was very plain and simple.

But no one dared to underestimate her.

Because on the day she set foot in Central Continent, she performed a Sword Slash that killed a beast with an Ancient Bloodline coursing through it, astonishing everyone.

Her Sword Dao was very special.

A young man boasted, "Our East Victory Divine Continent has more than just a few geniuses! They are about to enter Central Continent, sweep away all young talents, and become the foremost figures of this era."

TSK TSK! A bystander ridiculed, "What? Do you look down on the geniuses from our West He Ox State?"

"It's not that I'm looking down on you. That half-human, half-Demon fellow won't do. Cultivation still relies on a pure Human Clan bloodline, you know. The Human Clan is the most flawless race!"

"PAH! So what if he's half-human, half-Demon?"

"You're wrong, all wrong! The true geniuses are from my Central Continent. The Martial God Academy has Liu Changqing, the sacred grounds have their Saint Heirs and Saintesses, and the Moon Palace has a figure hailed as the number one youth—the Moon God. The talents from your two continents combined aren't a match!"

They argued for a while.

At that moment, a young man in ragged clothes arrived.

Someone grabbed him and asked, "From which State are you?"

The young man paused. "Nan Zhanbu Province."

Oh? The quarreling group fell silent for a moment. They realized they had mentioned West He Ox State, East Victory Divine Continent, Central Continent, and even Northern Utmost Reed Continent, but had omitted Nan Zhanbu Province.

But, did that continent even have any geniuses?

Someone inquired, "Does your Nan Zhanbu Province have any geniuses?"

"I've heard that Nan Zhanbu Province has long since been depleted. Its Spirit Qi is faint, and its Taoist practices are lost. It must be difficult for geniuses to emerge there."

The young man thought for a moment and then said, "Oh, there's someone called Chen Pingping."

"Who is this person? From what school or master does he hail? What is his realm and what are his accomplishments? How does he compare to Alan from our East Victory Divine Continent?" the man asked, his head held high.

On the surface, he was asking, but in reality, he was telling this young man that East Victory Divine Continent had Alan, who was enough to sweep away everything.

Your Chen Pingping doesn't measure up. I've never even heard of him.

The young man said, "He doesn't have many accomplishments, but the Moon God did not dare to make a move against him." This statement was true.

Deep in Luo God Mountain, the Moon God indeed had the opportunity to act but had hesitated.

"That's because the Moon God disdains to act against him," retorted someone from Central Continent.

The young man smiled and said no more.

No sense in talking if they aren't on the same page. Better to stop the conversation.

Just as he was about to turn away, someone else said, "The genius from our West He Ox State has a terrifying mount with an extraordinary bloodline. If fully awakened, it can contend even with King Tao experts!"

At this, everyone was shocked. A mount? Could it possibly be as formidable as a Spiritual Beast?

The young man scoffed, truly not wanting to continue this conversation.

"Counting them all, my Central Continent has the most young geniuses, over twenty of them, each with exceptional talents."

"East Victory Divine Continent is about the same, nearly twenty as well."

"West He Ox State has them too."

"Don't go, young man! How many does your Nan Zhanbu Province have?"

This sentence was a blow to the heart.

Just like the previous inquiry, in many people's eyes, Nan Zhanbu Province had already declined and was on the path to depletion. It wasn't just about geniuses; even cultivating was extremely difficult.

Under such circumstances, could there be any geniuses left?

Shi Yi, at a loss for words, said, "Nan Zhanbu Province has a Chen Pingping."

"Chen Pingping again?" others sneered. "Just one?"

Isn't that enough? Do we need a lot of them? Shi Yi thought.

Shi Yi rolled up his sleeves, ready to have a proper discussion with them. "There's also an Ancient Divine Body."

"So what? My continent has one too."

"Oh, this Ancient Divine Body is among the top ten in ranking."

"However, in Nan Zhanbu Province, that Ancient Divine Body only ranks third at most."

The crowd was astonished.

An Ancient Divine Body ranked in the top ten was only third?

Who was first?

And who was second?

Shi Yi smiled without a word and walked away with large strides.

「 」

"Senior sister, is what we're doing really okay?" Zi Ji asked with a worried expression.

From that day on, Guang Xiaoyu had been planning the destruction of the Bai Family, but due to insufficient strength, the plan had to be put on hold.

Afterward, she frantically advanced her cultivation by looting others' opportunities, striking from the shadows, ambushing powerful cultivators, and so on.

In just a few short months, she had collected many cultivation resources and natural treasures, and her realm had progressed to the Sixth Heaven of King Tao.

If it were before, she would have cursed at how slow it was.

But now... she was quite satisfied. The realm she had advanced to wasn't like the improvements of ordinary cultivators. She meticulously consolidated her foundation for the strongest possible advancement, vowing to reach the state of Perfection that Chen Pingping had spoken of.

"Junior sister, as I recall, you also took quite a bit," Guang Xiaoyu said, eyeing her intently.

Having looted from over twenty people and collected a huge pile of items, Zi Ji had also taken a fair share. It was just unknown to what extent she had improved.

I suppose my junior sister isn't as outstanding as I am, Guang Xiaoyu thought.

Guang Xiaoyu spoke again, "See that fellow over there, all shiny and proud, nose up in the air? You can tell he's rich. This time, he's our target."

Zi Ji followed her gaze, and her face darkened as she spoke in a somber tone, "Senior sister, we've already robbed him three times."

WHAT? Guang Xiaoyu was surprised. "Really? How about the one on the left?"

"Four times."

That was a bit embarrassing.

For a mighty Demon Emperor to make such a rookie mistake...

Guang Xiaoyu considered, Should I kill them to silence them?

Zi Ji pointed in another direction and said, "We haven't robbed that person."

That was Diwu Qingrou, the strongest talent from West He Ox State. He had a Green Wolf mount with an extraordinary bloodline. Back in West He Ox State, almost everyone who saw this Green Wolf would give it a wide berth.

Not only was Diwu Qingrou himself incredibly powerful, but his background was also astonishingly significant.

Although he had only arrived in Central Continent a few months ago, his fame had soared, and his name was now as renowned as those of Liu Changqing and the Saintess.

Guang Xiaoyu said with a dark face, "Are you tired of living?"

It wasn't that she was afraid of Diwu Qingrou, but... if they couldn't suppress or kill him in the first encounter, their whereabouts would be exposed.

At that time, those enemies who wanted to seize the Yuan World or assassinate Zi Ji would swarm them like a tidal wave.

The mere thought was frightening.

Guang Xiaoyu, looking regretful, said, "We can only pick some second-tier geniuses. Let's forget about this level."

"What's second-tier?" Zi Ji asked, puzzled.

"Like the Saintess, Saint Heirs, Liu Changqing, and so on..." She lifted the corner of her mouth. This Emperor just loves to mess with you high-and-mighty geniuses, HMPH!
