Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Golden Era
"The manifestation of the spiritual sea can instantly enhance combat power, a fighting style that unleashes one’s potential. I was previously wondering why he didn’t manifest his spiritual sea, and now I finally understand..."
In Bicheng, everyone was discussing, all staring in astonishment at the scene unfolding in mid-air.
Typically, when anyone faces a life-and-death battle, or when at a dead end, they will manifest their spiritual sea to unleash their potential and enhance combat power.
Especially in facing tribulations.
Usually, a cultivator manifests their spiritual sea the moment a celestial tribulation appears, to face it in their peak state.
Yet, Ji Chen, having triggered the Nine Dragon Heavenly Tribulation, repelled the tribulations eight times in a row without manifesting his spiritual sea.
Many were puzzled before, but now, it all seemed clear.
Nine spiritual veins, such talent, could be said to be unparalleled through the ages.
Even the ancient emperors of the human race, although supremely gifted, those who possessed nine spiritual veins were as rare as phoenix feathers.
The Night Emperor and the Bright Emperor were the brightest figures of their eras, having created invincible legends, standing as supreme beings in the history of the human race.
But even the likes of the Night Emperor and the Bright Emperor, it is said that they only managed to condense eight spiritual veins.
One can imagine how rare nine spiritual veins are.
No wonder Ji Chen didn’t manifest his spiritual sea, because once his possession of nine spiritual veins was exposed, it would definitely cause a tremendous stir, bringing along endless troubles.
However, now facing the Nine Dragon Heavenly Tribulation, nearly at a dead end, he finally had no choice but to take a desperate chance, fully revealing his spiritual sea to the world.
Just as was anticipated.
At this moment, as Ji Chen’s spiritual sea was manifested, nine spiritual veins swirled within like a galaxy, seemingly resonating with the way of the universe, merging with heaven and earth. This sight instantly set the entire Bicheng ablaze.
"Unbelievable! It’s truly unbelievable! In this world, there is indeed someone with nine spiritual veins!"
"Even the Night Emperor who once shook the world only condensed eight spiritual veins in his spiritual sea, yet this person’s talent is actually beyond that of the Night Emperor!"
"In the past, the Bright Emperor emerged astonishing the world with eight spiritual veins, from youth, he suppressed all his contemporaries, forging his own path of invincibility, his name shining through ancient times, but compared to this unknown young man in white..."
No one could resist being amazed, and a kind of awe flickered in their eyes.
It’s unimaginable that in this End of the Law Era, such an unparalleled genius has emerged.
"Could it be that, just as the ancient sages predicted, this era will witness a golden age comparable to the Desolate Ancient Years!"
"In this world, both the Taiyin Immortal Body and Sun Immortal Body have appeared, both have the potential to become emperors, and now this youth with nine veins surprises the world, drawing the Nine Dragon Heavenly Tribulation, he is definitely one of the future kings. Besides, it’s said that in some desolate ancient emperor races and sacred lands, there are a few prodigies who have been hidden away for years, all utterly gifted. Once they emerge, one can hardly imagine what a dazzling era this will be?"
"It is said that the two major powers, Kunlun and the Mo Family, a thousand years ago, ancient sages peered into destiny, using forbidden techniques to deduce that in the near future, a brilliant age full of prodigies would emerge. Many did not believe it, given the End of the Law Era’s sparse spiritual qi; in such an environment, how could so many geniuses appear simultaneously? But now, thinking closely, following the Sun and Taiyin Immortal Bodies, there’s now a youth with nine spiritual veins..."
Many elder powerhouses were also discussing, mostly from some desolate ancient emperor races or ancient sacred lands, aware of secrets unknown to ordinary people.
"Nine spiritual veins indeed!"
In Bicheng, atop a certain pavilion, Mo Wanqing’s exquisite face also bore an expression of utter astonishment.
As the eldest daughter of the Desolate Ancient Mo Family, with the blood of the Emperor Ancestor flowing within her, she understood more than most what nine spiritual veins truly signified.
"No wonder I couldn’t best him, it turns out this person possesses such a monstrous talent!" Mo Cheng was also stunned, dumbfounded.
He recalled their encounter at the Enlightenment Lake with Ji Chen, always feeling something was amiss.
If the opponent were merely at the Spirit Transformation Realm, how could he withstand his attack?
But now, everything seemed to have an answer.
"Does Ye Yunge pay so much attention to this person because the Ye Family already knew about his nine spiritual veins?" Mo Wanqing squinted her eyes.
Prior to this, she found it strange how an obscure Lingyun Sect in the small Profound Domain could warrant such attention from Ye Yunge, the young master of the Ye Family.
The only reasonable explanation now was that Ye Yunge had been aware of Ji Chen’s extraordinariness from the outset.
But little did she know, Yunge’s regard for Ji Chen was for another reason, not because he knew of such heaven-defying talent from the beginning.
At this moment, in a certain courtyard of the Ye Family, like everyone else, Yunge’s face was also filled with utter shock.
He gazed far into the distance at the white-clad figure standing under the sea of lightning, after a long while, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile, "I had planned to say a few words for him at grandpa’s birthday banquet, to earn him recognition from the Ye Family, alleviating aunt’s worries. But now..."
Yunge, the son of the Ye Family’s current patriarch, Ye Yuanyong.
And Ji Chen’s mother, Ye Jinglan, was Ye Yuanyong’s sister, thus, in terms of seniority, Yunge should naturally call Ye Jinglan his aunt.
Moreover, when Ye Jinglan and Ji Xiaotian were forcibly separated by the Ye Family, she returned to the Ye Family broken-hearted, and at that time, only two or three-year-old Yunge often accompanied this aunt, adored like her own son.
Over the years, Yunge naturally learned of some of his aunt’s past, wishing to ease her burdens.
This was why he personally sent an invitation to Ji Chen, inviting him to Bicheng, hoping to connect him with the Ye Family and earn their recognition, to dissolve the sorrow in his aunt’s heart.
Initially, Yunge thought getting the Ye Family to recognize Ji Chen and his father wouldn’t be easy.
After all, grandpa staunchly opposed this matter back then.
But now, with Ji Chen’s breakthrough in Bicheng, triggering the Nine Dragon Heavenly Tribulation, manifesting his spiritual sea, nine spiritual veins shocking the world.
Once the Ye Family discovers he is the child from aunt’s past, who would dare oppose his reunion with his aunt?
"Buzz..."
Just as Yunge pondered this, suddenly, the space beside him slightly quivered, and then a graceful, ageless middle-aged woman slowly emerged.
The woman did not appear old, despite her middle age, she seemed about thirty years old.
Seeing her arrival, Yunge was slightly taken aback, but swiftly reacted, bowing slightly towards her, "Aunt."
