Chapter 2195 - 2200: Setting Foot on the Central Continent (Part 2)
Su Mu nodded.The Southern Realm is indeed called the Pure Holy Land.
Its strength and foundation should not be underestimated.
In the Ancient Wilderness Era, the Southern Realm produced powerful figures like Yuanshi Tianzun and Luoshen.
Lately, there's also the Three Pure Ones of the Shangqing Sect.
And the Venerable Buddha of the Great Brahma Gate...
Such strengths have convinced all parts of the Cultivation Realm.
"I suspect that quite a few Nascent Soul Stage cultivators will participate this time."
"As for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, our Northern Realm's monster can handle them."
Su Qingcheng pointed at Xia Liu.
"Haha, Xia Liu can indeed handle Nascent Soul cultivators, but if there's a large group, it will be difficult, plus the Southern Realm's Nascent Soul cultivators are different from the Northern Realm, so..."
Su Mu did not continue.
The Southern Realm's foundation is transcendent.
The Nascent Soul cultivators there cannot be compared to those in the Northern Realm.
Though Xia Liu can slay Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Realm,
he might not benefit from the Southern Realm's Nascent Soul cultivators.
"The most important factor is that neither of you have a Nascent Soul foundation."
Su Mu sighed helplessly.
A few years ago, he was full of confidence in Xia Liu, thinking that the Southern Realm journey would allow him to break through the Golden Core.
To gain a Nascent Soul foundation.
Unfortunately, upon returning, he was still at the Golden Pill Late Stage.
Having only reached perfection.
He is still far from Nascent Soul Formation.
"Don't worry, Chairman Su, I have also seen the Southern Realm's Nascent Soul cultivators. They are indeed stronger than those in the Northern Realm, but not every Nascent Soul has fortune."
Xia Liu said ambiguously.
He plans to give Su Mu a surprise.
After all, in the situation where all cards are revealed,
he, Xia Liu, does not fear any Nascent Soul cultivator!
"Yes, father, this guy has just returned from the Southern Realm and knows certain things about their cultivators; we should trust him!"
"Qingcheng, you must also strive. Xia Liu is the main force this time; you also need to contribute!"
Su Mu admonished.
"Oh, got it."
Su Qingcheng muttered quietly, "Since he's the Northern Realm's foremost monster, naturally, the responsibility is greater."
"Haha! No problem, I am confident in achieving great results in the final trials, letting our Northern Realm surpass the other Three Realms!"
Xia Liu said confidently.
"Good! For your words, I'll drink to that!"
Su Mu lifted the wine jar and drank it down.
Xia Liu's guarantees have always been fulfilled.
This time will definitely be the same; what need is there for worry!
As the banquet dispersed, Xia Liu entered a state of seclusion.
Adjusting his own realm to the peak.
To prepare for the upcoming journey to the Central Continent!
Who knows how long had passed.
Xia Liu received a Spirit Sound.
"Xia Liu, at first light, we will depart for the Central Continent. Come to the great hall now; I will introduce other celestial talents who have obtained the Ascension Command to you."
Shortly after, Xia Liu arrived at the Alliance's great hall.
Su Mu and several Elders, as well as other celestial talents who obtained the Ascension Command, were present.
Su Qingcheng, as usual, wore a veil that concealed her surpassing beauty.
After a brief introduction,
those elders who obtained the Ascension Command greatly revered Xia Liu.
Because their ages had surpassed a hundred years.
Aside from one showing signs of breaking through to Nascent Soul formation, the others were only at Golden Pill Great Perfection.
Generally speaking, reaching such levels around a hundred years of age
can be considered talented.
Xia Liu and Su Qingcheng, however, can be called monsters.
"This is the situation; upon arriving at the Central Continent, there will be two days of meditation before talent assessment, followed by a strength trial."
Su Mu explained.
"Chairman Su, are we immediately going to compare ourselves to the talents of the Southern Realm, ranked second among the Four Realms?"
One of the celestial talents who obtained the Ascension Command inquired.
"Correct, whether or not you can advance and obtain the Alliance's fortune will depend on your own efforts."
"Ah, right from the start we must contest with the Southern Realm's talents..."
"If we could compete with the third-ranked Western Realm, perhaps we would secure a good position!"
"Yes, the Southern Realm is the Pure Holy Land, where talents are as common as dogs; who knows what kinds of monsters will participate this time."
"But don't forget, our Northern Realm also has monsters who rarely appear even in ancient times!"
"Exactly! Let's not belittle ourselves. I believe Xia Liu can bring our Northern Realm to the top of the Ascension Conference's highest rankings!"
The elders in the great hall expressed emotion and excitement.
They almost placed all their hopes on Xia Liu.
With him in this journey, it is almost certain!
"Ahem, fellow elders, don't say that; I might get arrogant."
Xia Liu joked.
"Haha, Daoist Fellow Xia Liu can slay Nascent Soul Mid-Stage with his current Golden Pill Late Stage cultivation! He even exterminated a Nascent Soul Late Stage Demon Spider; his strength is evident!"
"Indeed! This time we are sure to achieve the best results!"
...
Those eight cultivators who obtained the Ascension Command were almost all Xia Liu's followers.
They regarded him as their faith.
Beneath Nascent Soul Mid-Stage, Xia Liu is definitely invincible!
"Thank you for your trust, everyone; this time, I will undoubtedly use all my strength to secure good results for the Northern Realm!"
...
During their casual conversation, the sky quickly brightened.
Su Mu led ten people who obtained the Ascension Command to the Alliance's large teleportation formation hall.
The group stood upon it, subsequently several Elders proficient in array arts activated the formations.
After a moment of dizziness, a dense wave of Spiritual Energy engulfed them.
Xia Liu was the first to open his eyes.
The view was an incredibly majestic hall.
Inside the hall were many sculptures.
Some held jade axes.
Some carried Spirit Swords on their backs.
Each unyielding sculpture emanated a strong and upright aura.
"These are all portraits of renowned figures from the Central Continent and the Cultivation Realm."
Su Mu explained.
"Is that cultivator, holding the crystalline sword and wearing a Daoist robe, one of the Southern Realm's Three Pure Ones?"
Xia Liu pointed at a sculpture and asked.
"Indeed, he appears to be Sage Taiqing."
"Understood..."
Xia Liu couldn't help but mentally scoff.
These sculptures might be crafted based on classical records.
Quite unlike Sage Taiqing himself.
Lacking that Pure Holy aura.
"Oh? What's with your expression, are you disrespecting the Taiqing Daoist Ancestor?"
Shortly after Xia Liu spoke, a low voice sounded behind him.
Turning back to see, Xia Liu remained silent.
They were cultivators from the Eastern Realm, among them the leading person.
Wore a dragon-marked pattern on his chest.
Confirmed as the Chairman of the Eastern Realm Alliance.
The one who sneered at Xia Liu was very young.
Despite his youth, his cultivation had already reached Nascent Soul Early-Stage!
"Chairman Su, the celestial talent monster you brought seems quite bold!"
Chairman Ma of the Eastern Realm Alliance, Ma Tian.
Upon hearing Ma Tian's words, Su Mu was displeased.
"Chairman Ma, I was discussing with friends, what does it have to do with you? Moreover, which eye of yours saw Xia Liu show disrespect to the Taiqing Daoist Ancestor?"
The desire to incriminate without evidence.
Su Mu couldn't abide such low-level antagonists.
"Hehe, your Northern Realm probably only has this level of ability; a dignified alliance chairman calls a Golden Pill Late Stage cultivator a friend!"
