Chapter 259: The List of Top 100 Talents

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

A continuous influx of martial artists was coming to the Gale Prairie, where the golden beam was. Some of them were Rogue Cultivators, while many were disciples of big sects.

In merely five days, 40,000 to 50,000 people had arrived and gathered. The whole place was in a hubbub. From time to time, there were people coming.

Among the martial artists, there were some young ones, as well as many elderly martial artists.

“Seems like I’ve to contend with a lot of people again!” Su Mo sighed. He had intended to find the treasure all by himself, but now that the secret had been unveiled in broad daylight, and everyone had learned about it.

After sighing, Su Mo closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

During this period of time, Su Mo had further refined his genuine Qi and consolidated his foundation. He took a dozen bottles of medicinal elixirs and enhanced his cultivation from the late stage Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm to the Peak.

When his foundation was thoroughly strengthened, and he had polished his genuine Qi to perfection, he could prepare to break through and enter the True Spirit Realm.

After a few moments, a gigantic beast, about 10 meters long, came into sight from the distant sky. The majestic-looking beast was shaped like a tiger and yet covered with purple scales.

The beast was drawing a luxurious chariot, where a young man dressed in his finery was seated, looking supercilious.

Seeing a gigantic beast pulling a chariot coming from the sky, there was a sudden uproar among the crowd.

“The genius on the List of Top 100 Talents is coming!”

“He is Leng Yunfeng from the Cloudsky City, ranked 91st on the List of Top 100 Talents of Hong Domain!”

“He’s indeed a genius on the List of Top 100 Talents. How awesome to have a Lv 3 Demonic Beast pulling the chariot!”

All the attention was focused on the supercilious young man. Many eyes were jealous with enviousness.

The giant beast was unexpectedly ferocious. It devoured a martial artist at the Lv 1 True Spirit Realm that did not dodge in time. That frightened all the people, and they hurriedly moved backward.

When the beast swallowed the martial artist, Leng Yunfeng smiled callously instead.

Su Mo also looked toward him. “Having a Lv 3 Demonic Beast pulling his chariot, he’s really cool and flashy.”

“What’s worse, he connived his beast to eat people unscrupulously, treating people like dirt.”

However, if Leng Yunfeng could be listed 91st on the Top 100 talents of Hong Domain, he must be rather powerful. At least, Su Mo could not see through him, for all he could feel was that he was unfathomable!

Su Mo had never come into contact with anyone on the List of Top 100 Talents, however, he knew very well that they must be extremely powerful. The top 100, who could stand out from hundreds of millions of young martial artists in Hong Domain, must be of utmost excellence.

It was rumored that almost every genius listed had the ability to combat martial artists of higher cultivation by two levels. Even many veteran experts were no match for them.

A few moments later, Su Mo glanced around and observed the other people. He wanted to take note of the number of strong opponents and be prepared. After all, it was highly possible that he might need to fight these people in the Ethereal Territory.

Su Mo creased his brows. He noticed that about 40 percent of the people here were of the True Spirit Realm. That was disadvantageous to him.

“Eh?” Su Mo was surprised to spot three disciples of the Gale Island among the crowd.

There were two men and a woman, all in pale yellow robes, and that revealed their status as core disciples of the Gale Island.

Other than that, Su Mo also noticed Jin Yang, the core senior disciple of the Scorching Sun Sect was among the crowd.

“It seems like they’re all accumulating practical experience in Wuning Country.” Su Mo thought.

He was not surprised to bump into them. Since Wuning Country was the only country in the South of Yan River that held great power, it was expected to see the elites of the other six small countries to gain their experience in this country.

At that moment, a dozen figures were standing on the cloud at a distance of over ten miles away, looking at the golden beam.

“The Ethereal Territory is not a laughing matter. During the ancient time, it was a trial testing ground for the disciples of the Ethereal Shrine, and it contained numerous treasures. Should we kick out the rest of the people and monopolize this place for only the big sects?” an old man in gray robes asked. He was the one who came a few days earlier to check on the beam.

Upon hearing the old man, everyone pondered. Then a middle-aged pretty woman shook her head and said, “It’s too late. The news of the Ethereal Territory reopening has already reached every corner of the Wuning Country. Even our small neighbors at the borderline have heard about it and are rushing over here. We can’t stop them at all!”

All of them nodded. Although their sects were very powerful, they could not exclude all the other sects.

Su Mo continued to refine his genuine Qi and consolidate his cultivation. 10 days flashed by.

At the Gale Prairie, tens of thousands of people had gathered near the golden beam. You could only see everyone’s heads. Even the sky was crowded with True Spirit Realm martial artists.

Some sects even brought over 1,000 participants to enter the Ethereal Territory.

Apart from Leng Yunfeng, there were some of the other top 100 talents that also came.

Each of their arrivals caused a sensation among the crowd. Su Mo remembered all of them based on the commotion.

Among those people, a pallid young man in a scarlet long robe had drawn the most attention. His name was Xin Wuming, the first core disciples in the Primordial Sect in Wuning. A strong evil aura suffused from him, oppressing others spiritually.

The evil spirit derived from being murderousness. It was said that every man he killed would add a small amount of murderousness to him, and by the time he slaughtered 1,000 people, the murderousness he had collected turned into an evil spirit.

An evil spirit not only enhanced a martial artist’s attacks, it also expanded one’s aura.

The intense evil spirit emitted from Xin Wuming could drive a weak martial artist to break down. He would not even have the nerve to attack.

Su Mo bet that Xin Wuming must be a maniac killer and had taken thousands of lives.

Besides Xin Wuming, there were some who were equally strong and were also in the List of Top 100 Talents. Su Mo kept their names in mind.

Their skills were far beyond his capability to compete against at this moment. Any encounter with them would put him in mortal danger.

Finally, at noon, the golden beam started to change.

A circle of green light, up to dozens of meters wide, slowly emerged on top of the golden beam. Then the light consolidated and formed into a huge green door.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Just when the light door was formed, a dozen experts in the True Spirit Realm dashed toward it.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

The next moment, screams were heard. Of those people who entered, the majority had crossed over, while a minority of them did not manage to make their entrance, as their body exploded into a bloody mist the moment they touched the door.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone was startled. Many followers halted immediately and looked at the door with uncertainty.
