Chapter 405 - 335: Celestial Calculation Divine Child! Xuan Haoran!
"How is it, do you feel nervous?"
After talking about the Trial of Sword Conference, Taibai Phecda asked.
Su Yuan touched his chin.
Divine Sons and Daughters, huh?
Children of the Ten Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs, indeed quite remarkable.
According to the law that the higher the cultivation, the harder it is to have descendants, it’s uncertain if there are even thirty Divine Sons and Daughters in the Blue Star Federation in nearly four hundred years.
And these thirty Divine Sons and Daughters absolutely stand at the pinnacle of talent in ancient and modern Cultivation Realm, each one causing a sensation upon their birth.
But even such rare existences are about to arrive, yet Su Yuan feels no nervousness.
It’s not because of anything else, but because he’s seen it all before.
Qi Hanyan possesses Infinite Talent, the life crystallization of Wu Luo True Monarch and Star River Celestial Monarch, does she count as a Divine Maiden?
Yes, maybe she’s just a tad indulgent.
So, are the Divine Sons and Daughters the hard-working or smart version of Qi Hanyan?
It doesn’t sound particularly threatening.
Besides Qi Hanyan, there are two other Divine Maiden-level geniuses around Su Yuan.
Long Bai, the youngest daughter of the ancient demon race Divinity Transformation Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, is undoubtedly a Divine Maiden, no matter how many lives she lives, this fact doesn’t change.
Chen Nuoyi, having accepted the true teachings of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable and gained the Dragon Emperor True Body, her talent even surpasses that of conventional Divine Sons and Daughters, naturally comparable to them.
And then there’s Taibai Yuxi.
This girl, although the daughter of his own teacher, possesses truly heaven-defying talent, embodying the standard of a Divine Maiden.
So, Su Yuan often wonders secretly if his teacher in the past was associated with some Nascent Soul Peak, or even a Divinity Transformation stage wealthy patroness, otherwise how could he have birthed such a highly talented daughter.
Sigh, if this guess were true, he could ride on the coattails of his teacher’s wife and act domineeringly.
Hoping for the teacher to reach the heavens!
Taibai Phecda remains unaware of where Su Yuan’s thoughts have wandered.
If he could eavesdrop on thoughts, he might immediately reach for the Seven Wolves.
In short, being surrounded by a bunch of Divine Maiden-level figures has numbed Su Yuan somewhat.
Thus, he ultimately shook his head, looking serious as he said:
"Master, it’s not that I’m telling you off, but I think your mindset as a newly promoted True Monarch needs improvement."
Taibai Phecda: "..."
Su Yuan: "Divine Sons or Saint Heirs, aren’t they all part of the Federation?"
"If he surpasses contemporary geniuses, I will be happy for him. If his performance is unsatisfactory, we should all encourage each other."
Taibai Phecda: "..."
Listening to these words, he felt like a rookie.
You kid, this is a Reversed Celestial Spirit!
However, having been master and disciple for so long, Taibai Phecda knows Su Yuan’s character.
This kid speaks so calmly, clearly because he is unafraid of the challenges from Divine Sons.
Taibai Phecda’s mouth slightly curved:
"Don’t be overconfident, you don’t think that upcoming Divine Son is just a freshman in college, do you?"
Su Yuan was startled.
Taibai Phecda: "As far as I know, that Divine Son is already twenty years old, has been in the Immortal Dao longer than a junior in college, and has self-studied all the courses in university."
"And his cultivation is... Foundation Establishment Peak."
Su Yuan smiled slightly, casually saying:
"Foundation Establishment Peak? Then I’m even less nervous because this kid clearly isn’t targeting a mere freshman like me."
"If I participate in the Trial of Sword Conference, it would be a one-round trip?"
Taibai Phecda earnestly said:
"In this Trial of Sword Conference, you’re not the main force, but I still hope you take it seriously."
"Even if you can’t achieve any ranking, at least witness the top geniuses of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, so you can set goals to surpass them in the future."
"In just about a month, the official trial will commence, so do your best to improve yourself during this period."
Pausing, Taibai Phecda spoke with a hint of suspicion, saying:
"The timing of the arrival of that Divine Son coincides closely with the arrival of Wu Luo True Monarch in Ten Immortals City."
"I have a vague feeling that these two have some shared purpose and are waiting for something, you must be cautious in the Trial of Sword Conference."
Su Yuan nodded.
He has no desire or motivation to defeat the Divine Sons, but he must certainly attend the Trial of Sword Conference.
Because this gathering of all top Foundation Establishment Realm talents will be the best opportunity for him to identify and bring under his banner the other two Foundation Establishment Demon Talents.
Whether he can complete the task depends on this.
As for the plans of the Divine Sons and True Monarchs, that’s none of his business.
In the following month, Su Yuan dedicated all his energy and time to cultivation and work.
In terms of work, the main focus was dealing with the accumulated academic affairs from the past two months of absence, reorganizing the somewhat lax and idle members of the Primordial Sect, and vigorously developing various businesses.
At the same time, in terms of personnel, he also pulled Chi Le’an, in his good-natured form, into the Primordial Sect, offering him the position of Celestial Heart Celestial King.
King’s Assistant Demon +1
In terms of cultivation, Su Yuan was inseparable from Chen Nuoyi every day, occasionally joined by Long Bai, their cultivation partner, maximizing the effect of the ’Dragon Race Prince’ title.
Under a 380% cultivation boost, within less than a month, Su Yuan’s cultivation advanced further, reaching the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.
At the same time, Su Yuan also took time to master the first stage of two other Divinity Transformation Inheritances.
Because both Divinity Transformation Inheritances were Demon Techniques, cultivating the Celestial Shattering Star Sword and the Divine Body Sacrificial Artifact Technique went smoothly, taking less than a week to master both inheritances.
Of course, it wasn’t only Su Yuan who made progress this month.
Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan also made progress.
Chen Nuoyi mastered the Celestial Shattering Star Sword, and relying on her formidable physical strength, she could completely negate the backlash of the shock force, integrating it perfectly into her combat system.
As for Qi Hanyan... someone, who wished to remain anonymous, competing for the position of deputy director of the Evil Extermination Department, eventually succumbed to money, allowing the red-haired elder sister to donate a resource-rich world to Evil Extermination University.
Thus, Qi Hanyan directly earned one thousand hidden points, theoretically allowing her to learn any Divinity Transformation Inheritance straight to the third stage, as long as her talent sufficed.
With the backing of financial power, she began studying the Blood Corruption Sword, and under Su Yuan’s supervision, successfully mastered the first stage within a month.
This swordsmanship is a double-edged sword, with formidable power but at the cost of draining the user’s essence blood.
Qi Hanyan did not have a Sea of Blood as a backing, theoretically unable to unleash the full power of the Blood Corruption Sword.
But she has the Talent of the Killing Resistance King.
Relying on this talent, she was extremely hard to kill, effectively negating the side effect of being drained of her essence blood, quite a match for this swordsmanship.
After the two girls mastered the Divinity Transformation Inheritances, they naturally gained the qualifications to participate in the Sword Trials Competition.
This month, Su Yuan could clearly feel a change in the school’s atmosphere.
From the previously somewhat relaxed and free learning environment, it gradually shifted towards a more stringent one.
He suspected that this might have been a chain reaction after the Federation’s top echelons learned about the cause of the Immortal Tribulation.
The secrets of the Immortal Tribulation could obviously not be disclosed to everyone, so the top echelons had to subtly propel the public forward to prepare for conquering the stars and uniting the Cultivation Realm.
The universities of the Ten Great Immortal Sects were merely a microcosm.
A fulfilling month quickly passed by.
On April 11th, when spring flowers bloom, the Divine Son arrived as scheduled.
It was only at this moment that Su Yuan and others officially learned the specific identity of this Divine Son.
He was Xuan Haoran, the second son of the Observing Heaven Pavilion Master, the Celestial Lord of Observing Heaven, titled Celestial Calculation Divine Child.
As the Young Master of the Observing Heaven Pavilion, Xuan Haoran’s landing place was naturally the Observing Heaven Pavilion, where the Sword Trials Competition would also be hosted.
On the day Xuan Haoran descended, Evil Extermination University immediately mobilized, summoning the predetermined school team members to head for the Observing Heaven Pavilion.
Su Yuan, Qi Hanyan, and Chen Nuoyi headed together to gather at the school square.
Upon arrival at the square, the three immediately noticed some familiar figures.
In the Evil Extermination Department, Qiu Tianze, Pan Yunqing, and even Zhuo Lixin had come.
In the Sword Dao Department, there was the Celestial Dusk Saintess, Mu Shouzhen, who had fought with Chen Nuoyi during the monthly exam.
As for the Artifact Refining Department, Su Yuan was very familiar with Wei Yuxiu, who had participated together in designing the Ancient Sword Armor.
These people were almost all the freshmen and sophomores who had mastered the first stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritances, evidently playing the role of cannon fodder in the school team.
The real seed players were the true peers of the Celestial Calculation Divine Child, the juniors and seniors.
Su Yuan looked towards the over twenty composed and dignified seniors, all at least at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
These were the legendary juniors and seniors.
These two grades had participated in at least two expeditions to other worlds, possibly having personally slain thousands of cultivators, true warriors who had seen bloodshed.
Among them, the strongest had already mastered the second stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritances!
Even... the third stage!
Su Yuan’s Demon-Revealing Wisdom Eye flickered as he locked his gaze on a tall youth in the crowd, about two meters tall with a square face and extremely upright demeanor.
This person’s body exuded the heaviest demonic qi, only slightly inferior to the Golden Core era’s Taibai Phecda.
This meant that the Demon Technique this person mastered was most profound, and in terms of cultivation, this youth was also among the few at Foundation Establishment Peak in the entire venue.
Seemingly noticing Su Yuan’s scrutiny, the square-faced youth turned his head, his gaze falling upon Su Yuan.
In an instant, Su Yuan almost felt as if he were being stared down by a Golden Core Stage Wilderness Ferocious Beast.
But fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly.
Once the square-faced youth confirmed that Su Yuan was just a junior, he immediately smiled kindly and approached proactively.
"You must be Junior Su Yuan, nice to meet you."
"I am Guo Zhengyi, a senior in the Evil Extermination Department. You can call me Senior Brother Guo."
"Hello, Senior Brother Guo."
Su Yuan instinctively responded, faintly feeling that this name was quite familiar.
And soon, with Chen Nuoyi’s reminder, Su Yuan recalled where he had encountered this name before.
He was the first in all of Evil Extermination University, Guo Zhengyi.
This school-wide first was without any qualifiers, a true all-around, invincible, first across the entire faculty!
At the same time, Guo Zhengyi was also ranked second among the strongest university students in the entire Federation, a true academic god!
