Chapter 1190 Fu Nianzhou (Part Two)
genius.

Essentially, they are relative things.

When you are better than most people, you are a genius.

When you are better than most of the geniuses, then you are a prodigy.

……

Talent is something that is determined by comparison.

The fundamental prerequisite for being strong is that you must be better than the vast majority of other people.

therefore.

Within the group of the strong.

Talent is often the least valuable thing.

Everyone has it.

Even everyone was quite outstanding.

The average person is outstanding.

But, even so.

When your talent is good enough to a certain extent.

When it reaches a point where everyone feels it is unattainable or even outrageous.

Talent will still be the most useful thing...

no way.

Ultimately, a cultivator's success depends on their talent.

That is one of the innate factors that most determine your upper and lower limits.

At his peak, he was a powerful figure who reached the [Eternal Life Realm] and was close to the [Undying Realm].

Throughout Fu Nianzhou's long life experience.

The number of geniuses and prodigies he personally witnessed was undoubtedly vast.

As common as weeds.

As numerous as the stars in the sky.

Countless.

More than countless times more than the carp crossing the river...

Past days.

In his view.

No matter how outrageous talent may be.

It's really just that kind of thing.

It always belongs to something that one can imagine and understand.

Based on this premise.

Even those with far greater talent than him could hardly surprise him.

It might even give him a feeling that it's nothing special.

It was a situation where, although he didn't have it himself, it didn't prevent him from feeling that things were quite normal.

Just like many times, even if some guys are so poor they don't even have three hundred dollars on them, they still think that the guy who can come up with three million dollars in cash flow is just that kind of person...

Even if I don't have any money myself.

But I know many people are rich.

Anyway, you're not the only rich guy.

This falls under the category of Ah Q mentality to some extent.

It primarily serves as a form of self-comfort.

However, today, after watching Ling Wuyuan's performance at the Jade Court Martial Arts Tournament many times, even he had to admit that the talent Ling Wuyuan displayed was truly beyond his comprehension. Even after searching through every corner of his memory, he simply couldn't find anyone with similar talent...

A million years?

Two million years?

Or perhaps... I'll never reach that level in my lifetime?

This was not Fu Nianzhou's own idea.

Rather, it was information he gleaned from the mind of some unfortunate soul.

At first.

When that unlucky guy, who thought himself exceptionally talented, watched Ling Wuyuan's actual performance in the Jade Court Martial Arts Tournament, he felt a sudden sense of shattered Dao heart.

He couldn't understand why the gap was so large.

finally.

The opponent made a very intuitive judgment. They realized that even if Ling Wuyuan exhausted his entire life's energy, he would never be able to master any of the combat techniques Ling Wuyuan displayed in the Jade Court Martial Arts Tournament…

Therefore, the other party immediately felt a deep sense of despair and realized that their prized talent was nothing at all, not even close to what others possessed...

It was a feeling of despair, like an ant looking up at the sky.

now.

As Fu Nianzhou read out the other party's past thoughts.

As someone with far more experience, Fu Nianzhou was perfectly capable of giving a fairly responsible evaluation of his ideas:
"Unfortunately, your idea is riddled with errors."

"After all, that level of skill, let alone someone like you at the [Heart Domain Realm], even many [Heavenly Realm] cultivators would need to exhaust their entire lives to have even a chance of successfully cultivating it... It's simply not something someone of your level should even dream about."

Said without politeness.

At that moment, Fu Nianzhou's biggest thought was that Ling Wuyuan was just pretending to be serving food.

They hoped that the other party was actually a cultivator at the [Void Realm] or even a higher level at that time.

They hoped that the other party hadn't actually managed to improve their skills to that level in such a short period of time.

otherwise……

Even he would feel genuinely envious of that kind of talent.

Undeniable jealousy.

Faced with that level of talent.

Fu Nianzhou felt that all the countless efforts he had made in the past were nothing short of a joke.

He couldn't imagine how easy it would be to advance, a feat that seemed like an insurmountable chasm, in the face of such talent...

at the same time.

Fu Nianzhou was also very clearly aware of this.

Ling Wuyuan is a target that I must closely observe.

If the other person truly possesses that level of talent...

For their own safety.

This is part of his plan to gather resources from various surrounding domains to heal his injuries.

I am determined to get rid of the other party.

after all.

How could he dare to let someone with such talent develop freely?

That's irresponsible!
I reckon it won't even be until he's fully recovered from his injuries.

The other party will then naturally arrive at the [Eternal Realm]...

By then.

That would be like being at someone else's mercy, like fish on a chopping board.

So, after careful consideration...

Fu Nianzhou quickly realized that, in any case, unless he planned to abandon the various [domains] around him and flee to another place.

otherwise.

I definitely can't get around Ling Wuyuan...

For Fu Nianzhou, who urgently needs to recover from his injuries, giving up the surrounding [domains], which are generally weaker and extremely suitable for his recovery, is undoubtedly a rather unavoidable choice.

'Should we take direct action against them?'

'Or should we test the waters first?'

'In short... we absolutely cannot let him successfully advance to the [Celestial Realm]...'

The end of the matter.

In Fu Nianzhou's mind, only these three thoughts remained.

It can only be said that even though he is currently severely injured and his strength is almost completely gone, the remaining power that is enough to easily eliminate most of the [Heavenly Realm] cultivators still gives Fu Nianzhou considerable confidence.

At least.

In this region where the [Celestial Realm] does not yet exist, he certainly doesn't need to be too wary.

now.

The only local factor that could make him feel deeply uneasy was Ling Wuyuan.

Judging from the talent that Ling Wuyuan displayed back then.

As long as the opponent can advance successfully.

Even Fu Nianzhou in his current state has no idea whether he can defeat his opponent.

Bottom line.

That level of talent, if it's genuine, directly means that as long as the enemy can't quickly defeat Ling Wuyuan, he will inevitably become their best teacher and best source of nourishment, allowing them to easily catch up and surpass him.

That's a terrifying opponent whose chances of winning decrease the longer the battle drags on; a swift victory is the only option!
