Chapter 9: Chapter 782
Enlightenment River
Saint Origin World was very large, but at the same time, the speed at which news spread was also very fast. In just a few days, the news of the First Martial Meeting had spread throughout the entire continent.
In this Martial Meeting, the strength of the top geniuses of the younger generation had shocked everyone. Everyone exclaimed that a new era had arrived!
Of the top 80 contestants, over half of them had the strength of a first step King. As for the top 10 contestants, almost all of them had the strength of a second step King. As for Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue, both of them had the strength of a third step King!
People as strong as Yuan Mo and Ming Hua, who had been famous for a long time, were all defeated. They didn't even enter the top ten. Xuan Heng Dao and Mu Qing Shuang, who were originally recognized as the first and second, were squeezed out of the top three. They were forced to settle for fourth and fifth respectively!
Ao Jing, Di Yu, Gu Sha, Gu San Sheng … all of these unfamiliar names were firmly engraved in everyone's mind. Of course, among all the contestants, the ones who attracted the most attention and shocked the most were naturally Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue!
Jiang Lanyue, as a woman, had practically obtained an overwhelming victory all the way up until now. The strength that she had displayed caused many of the older generation's experts to feel deeply ashamed.
Lin Yu's experience was also legendary. As a commoner, he had risen step by step from a small corner of the continent. From the Myriad Spirit State to the Spirit Sky Region, and then to the Northern Region. Now, he had finally dominated the entire Saint Origin World and become the number one of the younger generation!
Compared to Xuan Heng Dao and Mu Qing Xue, his experience was much easier to resonate with the masses. After all, only a small portion of the martial artists had a background and influence. The majority of the people here were just nobodies.
Compared to those heaven's favored sons and daughters, they were more willing to accept someone like Lin Yu, who also had a humble background, but relied on his own efforts to rise up.
For a time, Jiang Lanyue was the idol of all the female cultivators in the Saint Origin World. Almost all the male cultivators saw Lin Yu as their goal!
Even the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect had become the focus of everyone's discussion. To be able to nurture two great geniuses, Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue, many people were very curious about the secrets of the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect.
Even if Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue's growth did not have much to do with the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect, it showed that the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect's luck was extraordinary. Staying in such a place, the possibility of growth was often higher.
For a time, the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect, which was originally only famous in the Northern Region, became a top force in the entire Saint Origin World. Its fame was not inferior to the Mystic Emperor Sect, the Extreme Snow Palace, and the Eastern Divine Court!
…
After returning to the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect, Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue cooperated with the higher-ups of the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect to hold a grand celebration party.
Actually, Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue did not like to do such things. However, they still had to give face to the higher-ups of the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect. Therefore, it would be unreasonable for them not to participate in this celebration party.
After learning that Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue would attend the celebration party, many cultivators from various forces rushed over. There were even experts from other realms who did not hesitate to pay a huge price to come through the Teleportation Array just to see Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue and make some connections with them.
Every force that came prepared extraordinary gifts. The gifts that the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect received from this celebration party alone were equivalent to ten years of total income.
Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue chose some of the gifts that were useful to them and contributed the rest to the sect.
With their strength, ordinary worldly possessions were meaningless. Only extremely precious and special treasures could attract them to a certain extent.
Towards this, the upper echelons of the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect were all moved in their hearts. In this world, there had never been a lack of ingrates who would forget favors and violate justice the moment they achieved something. People like Lin Yu and Jiang Lan Yue were truly too rare.
Of course, the benefits that Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue brought to the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect were far more than that. Due to their influence, the number of powerhouses and geniuses who wanted to join the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect increased greatly.
Although the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect had undergone a strict selection process, the strength of the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect still increased by a few percent in a short period of time. For a colossus of this level, it was simply unimaginable that their strength increased by a few percent in a few days.
Even the Emperor of the Bei Xuan Dynasty, who had appointed Huang Lingtian as the Crown Prince, sent Huang Lingfeng and Huang Lingyun, who were close friends with Lin Yu, to the Tai Yuan Immortal Sect.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue.
After the celebration party, the two of them entered a state of seclusion together. With the talent and comprehension of the two of them, under the situation where they communicated and verified with each other, their strength improved very quickly.
…
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since the First Martial Meeting.
A month's time was enough to dilute many things. The discussions about the First Martial Meeting had gradually decreased, but the spirit of martial arts had further increased in the Saint Origin World.
Whether it was the younger generation of martial artists or the older generation of powerhouses, this Martial Meeting had caused a great stimulation. Everyone was trying their best to increase their strength.
Under such circumstances, Lin Yu and the other top ten participants of the Martial Meeting had once again gathered at the Ji Family.
"Very good. You all came on time."
Emperor Qing's figure appeared in front of everyone. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "There's no need to say anything else. Let's set off immediately."
As his voice fell, he waved his hand and a green boat appeared in front of everyone. The boat wasn't big, but it made everyone envious.
This green boat was called the Void Boat. It could shuttle through the void at an incredible speed. It was comparable to an Emperor level powerhouse. In the entire Saint Origin World, there were only a few of these boats.
Stepping onto the Void Boat, under Emperor Qing's control, the boat disappeared into the depths of the void with a swoosh. It rapidly shuttled through the void. In every breath, it crossed tens of thousands of miles.
Half a day later, the Void Boat suddenly stopped. A simple bronze gate appeared in front of everyone. The gate was covered with all kinds of ancient runes, and a boundless ancient aura rushed out.
"Open!"
Emperor Qing lightly formed a hand seal. The bronze gate slowly opened as if it had been summoned.
Splash!
Suddenly, the pleasant sound of flowing water entered everyone's ears. A clear river appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the Enlightenment River!"
