In a tavern called JinYue Pavilion, located far from the central arena,
a group of talented individuals had gathered to observe the happenings in the central arena.
These young men and women were handsome and beautiful, exuding an extraordinary aura, each of them renowned geniuses in Chaotian City.
Among them, a certain girl in white stood out. She wore a pure white long dress, her skin was as smooth as jade, and her figure was graceful, with every part of her body crafted to perfection, like a fairy descending from the heavens, attracting everyone’s attention.
She was Zhou Zhiwei from Xuan Yin Valley.
Zhou Zhiwei, a top genius from Xuan Yin Valley, had recently broken through to the six-stage Wuzong after obtaining the Huazun Grass. Furthermore, she cultivated the valley's secret technique, the Nine Immortal Diagram, not only elevating her cultivation to the mid-sixth stage but also transforming her aura into something even more sacred, making any prolonged gaze feel like blasphemy.
Such a woman naturally attracted the gaze of many geniuses in Chaotian City. In their eyes, a hint of possessiveness could be seen, yet their faces wore gentle smiles, behaving like refined gentlemen.
Additionally, rumors circulated that Xuan Yin Valley had some ties with the Piao Miao Palace, the supreme power of the continent, giving the valley's genius disciples a certain probability of joining the Northern Heaven Domain's Piao Miao Palace branch.
This was as appealing to the geniuses from Baichao as Zhou Zhiwei herself.
“Miss Zhiwei, I didn't expect you to be interested in the competition of this medium-sized dynasty. With your talents, you really need not concern yourself with such trivial matters,” a young man with a neatly tied hairstyle and handsome features smiled and said, his demeanor warm and gentle as jade.
This person was Xi Men Yu, a genius from the Dayong Dynasty, nicknamed Yu Gongzi. He was one of the top geniuses of the Dayong Dynasty, only twenty-two years old, already at the mid-sixth stage of Wuzong, and his reputation was considerable.
Zhou Zhiwei’s gaze was calm as she replied softly, “I just want to understand the strength of the geniuses from various dynasties.”
“Geniuses? Miss Zhiwei, what kind of geniuses are they?” another young man with a triangular face laughed, “These individuals, although selected by our dynasty, are all over thirty, and their cultivation levels are not much higher than ours. They were simply chosen for this medium-sized dynasty competition.”
This person was Gou Feng, a genius from the Daqian Dynasty, and his reputation in Chaotian City was also quite strong.
“Brother Gou is right. In fact, this dynasty review lacks any excitement. To outsiders, it might seem like a spectacular brawl, but we already know that those five slots have long been predetermined by our Daqian, Dayong, Longyuan, Datang, and Yuan Emperor dynasties.”
The thirteenth prince of the Datang Dynasty, Li Rujun, also laughed, “Now it’s merely a formality.”
“Haha, those commoners from the lower dynasties might really think they can win a slot through competition.”
“Those fools are overthinking things.”
“Let’s accompany Miss Zhiwei for a look; it’s just like watching a monkey show.”
The group of geniuses laughed, their tone arrogant, as if they had already won the match, displaying themselves before Zhou Zhiwei.
But they indeed had the capital to show off.
None of them were under twenty-four, each being at least a sixth-stage Wuzong or higher, with the weakest among them at the peak of the early sixth stage. Even though their cultivation and strength might not surpass those martial artists competing on the central arena,
in terms of talent, they surpassed them all, being the true core geniuses of the top dynasties.
Watching this group of handsome young men flattering Zhou Zhiwei, several beauties in the crowd felt a surge of jealousy.
Zhou Zhiwei had not stood out a year ago, remaining at the peak of the late fifth stage of Wuzong. Who would have thought that after a year, she would achieve a stroke of luck and break through to the mid-sixth stage, appearing even more beautiful? Had she perhaps undergone some transformation at the hands of an alchemist?
