Chapter 1151 - The Violent Tide of the Era

“What?”

“Geniuses surpassing the rules of cultivation?”

“And each of their factions has one?”

“Are you being serious? We’re talking about breaking the rules of cultivation!”

“What’s going on? Are you telling me that someone in this world can actually surpass the rules of cultivation?”

The entire dojo was filled with various discussions.

The eyes of the geniuses and elders were filled with great astonishment.

Even the geniuses who had witnessed Qin Nan’s nine Martial Trees were greatly astounded. After all, it was already extremely shocking learning that someone had surpassed the rules of cultivation, and now, there were another three of them.

Little did they know that the Martial Monarchs, including the Dragon Emperor, were experiencing a greater shock than the crowd.

As Martial Monarchs, they clearly knew the secrets of the Canglan Continent, thus they were aware of the significance of surpassing the rules of cultivation.

The senior eight thousand years ago had also surpassed the rules of cultivation, allowing her to break free from the Canglan Continent and ascend to the Nine Heavens.

The Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast, and the Diabolic Monarch Beast immediately came to a realization too.

No wonder the God Beast’s attitude toward Qin Nan entirely shifted after learning of his failure.

After all, even if Qin Nan had failed to inherit the Monarch Horoscopes, he was still a legendary genius who had surpassed the rules of cultivation, thus it made no sense to give up on him just like that.

It would not hurt to continue investing in him so he could become an expert.

However...

The South-Heaven Sacred Ground, the Jade-Lake Sacred Mountain, and the Martial Principle Sect each has a genius surpassing the rules of cultivation now!

What did that imply?

It meant that Qin Nan was no longer unique in this world.

As a result, his value, etc. had significantly diminished.

It was most likely that the God Beast had been told the information, in addition to the fact that Qin Nan was a human, which caused his attitude toward him to change tremendously.

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, the eyes of the old man in the purple-golden robe, the middle-aged woman, and the middle-aged man flickered, as if they were enjoying the fact that the people of the Middle Continent were dazzled by the geniuses of the half-God region.

“The three geniuses are Sheng Jingtian of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, Su Qingning of the Jade-Lake Sacred Mountain, and Zhuang Cidao of the Martial Principle Sect!” The old man in the purple-golden robe continued to speak, “Due to personal reasons, I won’t be able to show Su Qingning and Zhuang Cidao’s achievements here. I do have a Recording Stone here to show you something!”

The old man flicked his finger causing a black stone to float in the air. It flew to the center of the dojo and halted suddenly as its surface began to crack open.

As the stone broke into pieces, it immediately emitted a brilliant glow which transformed into a screen.

On the screen, a young man was sitting on the peak of a mountain. It was impossible to see his face clearly because of the distance.

Three breaths’ later, eight brilliant crimson glows were emitted from his back, as an enormous, magnificent Martial Spirit emerged from his back, causing cracks to appear in the space, symbolizing the strength of its aura!

The eight crimson glows indicated it to be an eighth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit, which was considered extremely rare in the Canglan Continent!

However, that was not the end of it.

The entire screen began to shudder all of a sudden.

Another eight crimson rays were emitted from the young man’s back, as a different Martial Spirit floated in the air. It did not end there, as the same process repeated as a third Martial Spirit with eight crimson rays appeared too.

At that instant, a total of twenty-four crimson rays and three Martial Spirits floated in the air. The crowd could even feel the pressure from their existence alone through the screen.

The image stopped there before the screen slowly disappeared.

The entire dojo fell into a dead silence as if the sound had been drawn away by some powerful force lingering in the place.

After around a hundred breaths later, the crowd finally reacted.

Despite that, they could not hide the astonishment in their eyes.

“Three Martial Spirits! Are you kidding me, that’s three Martial Spirits?”

“Is this a joke! Someone is able to possess three Martial Spirits?”

“Am I dreaming? Please tell me that I’m dreaming.”

“This...This...This is impossible! No way! I can’t believe it!”

Several voices exploded on the dojo.

As everyone knew, each cultivator would only be born with a single Martial Spirit. Even after altering their destinies, they would only have one Martial Spirit at most!

However, the genius with the name Sheng Jingtian had three Martial Spirits!

Furthermore, each of them was eighth-grade Tian ranked!

How significant was an eighth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit?

Even in the half-God region, an eighth-grade Tian ranked genius would easily become a core disciple in any of the three great factions!

In comparison, Ao Cangtian, Sorceress Qian Qian, Dao Qianzhong, the Heaven-Yin Daoist, the Faceless Cultivator, etc. were relatively calm. After all, they had witnessed Qin Nan’s nine Martial Trees, and had even seen how Qin Nan had almost inherited the nine Monarch Horoscopes which would make him the strongest Martial Monarch in history.

“Mm?”

The elders and disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, the Jade-Lake Sacred Mountain and, the Martial Principle Sect sharply noticed that some among the crowd seemed quite calm relatively despite hearing the news.

What was going on here?

Could it be that having three Martial Spirits, each eighth-grade Tian ranked was not shocking enough for them?

“Silence!”

A blasting roar exploded on the dojo.

They could only see the Dragon Emperor emitting a terrifying aura which swept the place like a surging tide, causing the elders and disciples to shudder and shut their mouths.

The uproar instantly fell silent.

“It’s a surprise to learn of the existence of the three geniuses who have surpassed the rules of cultivation. However, news like this could surely shock the entire Canglan Continent with ease. It doesn’t make sense for you all to attend the Monarch Ascending Ceremony just to declare it to the world, right?”

The Dragon Emperor spoke with an expressionless face.

The Martial Monarchs collected their thoughts and stared at the people from the three great factions.

They would not believe that they were only there just to tell them the news.

“As the Dragon Emperor mentions,” The old man in the purple-golden robe said with a nod, “There’s a third reason why we’re here. As our factions each have a genius surpassing the rules of cultivation now, we’ve gained a better understanding of the rules of cultivation. As such, after having a discussion, we’ve decided to start a new era...”

The old man continued, “For those with a Martial Spirit of the second-grade Tian rank or above, you can now head to the half-God region to participate in the trial held by the three great factions, which would give you a chance to join the three great factions!”
