Chapter 177: So What if He’s a Spirit Realm Expert?
A Fourth Realm expert, if flying at full speed, would probably need to use a Martial Path Intent to achieve such a speed.
Therefore, the fact that Ge Yefeng was able to arrive in such a short time showed how much importance he placed on this matter.
He had no choice but to take it seriously.
Although he still couldn’t understand how someone could learn an Earth Grade Divine Intent in just one day, which even included a cultivation technique, he also understood that if this were true, it would cause a huge sensation.
Especially for their Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion.
The founding philosophy of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion was actually very simple—to create even more powerful Divine Intents!
Its first Pavilion Master believed that as long as all the prodigies in the world were gathered together, and the Divine Intents were optimized from generation to generation, they could create even more powerful Divine Intents, which would then drive the development of martial arts.
And if there really was such an unimaginable prodigy, then they absolutely couldn’t miss it!
As soon as Ge Yefeng arrived, he didn’t even bother to slow down and directly asked, “Have you found out any more information?”
“It’s all here,” Yan Siniang handed over a thin sheet of paper.
“This is all you found?” Ge Yefeng frowned.
“For now, it seems that this Young Master Shen, along with his five attendants, has indeed never been to the Holy Lake Region. As for the news from the surrounding regions, it will take some time to investigate,” Yan Siniang explained.
Even though the Holy Lake Region’s vision was not limited to one region, only Spirit Realm experts could truly travel across regions.
For martial artists below the Spirit Realm, the depths of the forest outside Garrison City were truly a forbidden zone.
Ge Yefeng was also aware of this, so he stopped asking and carefully read the contents of the paper.
He quickly found the key point.
“White light appeared in the clouds hundreds of miles outside the pass, and the faint roar of a Grand Demon Beast could be heard. The Eastern King left to investigate, and not long after, he returned with this person in a flying chariot…” Ge Yefeng immediately made a decision, “Let’s go, you and I will go and take a look.”
It’s not that he hadn’t thought about directly approaching him, but this person was simply too mysterious now.
His origins, background, why he came, his relationship with the Eastern King.
All unknown.
The only thing known was his age and suspected terrifying talent.
With the Eastern King involved, even the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion couldn’t act rashly.
After all, behind the Eastern King was the entire Lan Kingdom.
Thus, Ge Yefeng directly took Yan Siniang and flew towards the place where the white light had appeared.
They arrived in just one or two hours.
“This location seems to have once been the territory of a Fourth Realm demon beast,” Ge Yefeng sensed the residual aura in the air and couldn’t help but become cautious.
“That’s right, there was also a Red Jade Fruit tree,” Yan Siniang, who had been in Garrison City for a long time, was obviously familiar with this, “It was a Red Fire Rhinoceros, not very strong, but with thick skin and tough flesh. Even the Eastern King couldn’t kill it in a short time, and he was worried that it would attract other Grand Demon Beasts, so he let it live until now. Master, we should be careful.”
“No need,” Ge Yefeng said, not even lowering his voice, and even speeding up.
“Why?” Yan Siniang had just asked this question when she was completely stunned.
Because she had also seen the huge, dark pit below.
Five days had passed, but there were still some scorched trees slowly burning at the edge. And in the center of the ground, there was a large area of blackened, glassy material, which was what remained of the earth after it had cooled down from high temperatures.
It had to be said that for a Third Realm Grandmaster, this huge pit, which was a full two thousand meters in diameter, was still quite shocking. Moreover, everything here seemed to be silently telling the story of what had happened.
“This… what kind of technique could cause such destruction?” Yan Siniang murmured.
In her opinion, this must have been the work of a Fourth Realm expert, but to bring about such terrifying high temperatures, it was really hard to imagine what kind of Divine Intent it would take!
However, Ge Yefeng’s expression became even more serious.
“It wasn’t a Spirit Realm expert!” he suddenly said.
“What?” Yan Siniang was shocked.
“There’s no trace of Yuan Power. Even if someone deliberately tried to erase it, it would be impossible to clean it up so thoroughly in such a short time,” Ge Yefeng’s white beard fluttered in the wind as he pointed to the other side, “And look over there.”
Yan Siniang looked over and could clearly see many similarly scorched pits and trees, as well as a clear trail of trees that had been pushed over.
“First, he used an unknown attack to force the Red Fire Rhinoceros away from the Red Jade Fruit tree, and then, here, he killed it with a single blow… No wonder the Eastern King let such a prodigy come and go freely, instead of hiding him. I’m afraid he simply can’t restrict this person’s movements, nor does he dare to restrict him,” Ge Yefeng slowly exhaled, having already guessed many things in his heart.
Coming here to investigate was indeed the right thing to do.
That Young Master Shen probably really did have an extraordinary background and astonishing means.
Just this scene alone, without knowing what kind of means it was, even he wouldn’t be confident in dealing with it.
Moreover, seeing such a scene made him more confident that Young Master Shen really possessed such terrifying talent!
Just thinking about this made Ge Yefeng’s heart tremble.
This was a talent that could learn an Earth Grade martial arts intent in just one day!
The Mountain and Sea Realm was not enough to explain such potential!
“Let’s go!” Ge Yefeng had no intention of staying here any longer and returned with Yan Siniang, constantly thinking about things along the way.
◈◈◈
However, neither he nor Yan Siniang knew that hundreds of kilometers away, above the clouds, a war chariot was closely monitoring their movements and transmitting them to Shen Xing in real time.
That’s right, from the moment Ge Yefeng arrived in Garrison City, Shen Xing already knew.
Although he didn’t know exactly which Fourth Realm expert had come, when he saw the other party go directly to the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion and then fly towards the place where he had hunted the Fourth Realm demon beast with Yan Siniang, he could already guess their identity.
“A Spirit Realm expert from the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion has indeed come,” Shen Xing narrowed his eyes.
He hadn’t just been cultivating these past few days. With the help of his attendants and the Yan family’s manpower and channels, he had already gained a good understanding of this region.
The most powerful forces were naturally the three dynasties.
These three dynasties, with a huge lake at the center as their boundary, divided up more than eighty percent of the land in the entire Holy Lake Region. In addition, there were more than a dozen small countries, most of which existed only because they had one or two Fourth Realm experts.
These nation-type forces alone covered more than seventy percent of the Fourth Realm experts in the entire Holy Lake Region.
However, in addition to these, there were also some other quite powerful forces.
For example, the Artifact and Pill Association.
As the name suggests, this was an association-type force that covered Refiners and Alchemists. Its strength should not be underestimated, and because it controlled Spiritual Weapons and Spirit Pills, even the three dynasties were unwilling to offend it easily.
In addition, the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion was also considered a top-tier force.
This force had unearthed countless civilian prodigies. Even though most of them did not join the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion, just this “favor” alone meant that not many forces dared to offend them.
Coupled with its own strength, it had a kind of “lubricant” feeling in the entire Holy Lake Region.
It maintained good relations with almost all the top forces.
And obviously, such a force was stronger, with more means, compared to a single “Eastern King” like Yan Dong!
Shen Xing also had the idea of attracting them.
After all, even though he had obtained a lot of pills from the Yan family, it was still far from enough. In fact, after these days of cultivation and learning Earth Grade martial arts intents, he was already running low on pills.
And this region should also have more good things.
“I hope I don’t have to wait too long,” Shen Xing kept his attention on them but did nothing.
In addition, Yan Dong had been away for several days, saying that he was personally going to help him exchange for some resources, and he should be back soon.
Shen Xing thought for a moment and began to look forward to it.
Then he continued his cultivation.
However, the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion’s reaction was faster than he expected.
On the same day, he saw the newly arrived Fourth Realm expert riding a beast-drawn carriage towards the Yan family, and just a moment later, Yan Qing had no choice but to take the initiative to find him.
“The Vice-Principal of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion, the Maple Leaf Immortal, wishes to meet with Young Master Shen,” Yan Qing said respectfully to Jiang Yan and the others who were guarding the door of the cultivation room.
However, Jiang Yan and the others didn’t move.
Only Qu Li said in a deep voice, “When the young master is cultivating, no one is allowed to disturb him.”
Yan Qing was taken aback and quickly said, “The Maple Leaf Immortal is a Spirit Realm expert, a renowned expert even among Spirit Realm experts. Please inform him.”
He thought that these people had never heard of the Maple Leaf Immortal’s title and didn’t know that he was a Spirit Realm expert.
However, Yan Qing didn’t expect that even after he had stated the identity and status of the visitor, these people still didn’t move.
Only Qu Li said again, “No matter who it is, the young master is not to be disturbed during his cultivation!”
That’s right, this was something Shen Xing had emphasized more than once.
The words “Spirit Realm expert” might have frightened them before, but following Shen Xing and being shocked again and again, their cognitive threshold had also been constantly raised.
So what if he’s a Spirit Realm expert?
The young master’s orders were absolute!
When he was cultivating, no one was allowed to disturb him. This was their mission!
“Everyone! Just inform him!” Yan Qing became anxious, “My father is not in the mansion now, and a Spirit Realm expert has come in person.”
“So what if he’s a Spirit Realm expert?” Cao Qiyun suddenly interrupted Yan Qing, “Please return, and do not make any noise here. If you disturb the young master’s cultivation, we will all be guilty beyond forgiveness.”
Yan Yong, who was standing further away, also walked over at this time, staring at Yan Qing.
The aura of a Grandmaster was faintly discernible on his body.
