Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 29 Someone is envious
For the past half month, a series of booming sounds have been heard from Li Yao's secluded training ground, accompanied by tsunamis, thunderclaps, and rainbows shooting out.

At this moment, Li Yao's Bitter Sea had expanded to the size of more than half a palm, with divine springs flowing out and a dazzling rainbow hanging high above, stretching across the sky, incomparably magnificent. He had finally formed a small section of divine vein, which hung above the Bitter Sea, and he had become a cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm!

A powerful aura was released. At first, the fluctuation was not significant, and no one noticed it except for highly skilled experts. However, as the commotion grew, more and more people became aware of the fluctuation.

Many disciples of the Yao Guang Holy Land branch were slightly startled when they sensed this fluctuation.

But the revelation of Li Yao's identity brought shock.

A disciple who has only been cultivating for half a year is about to break through to the Divine Bridge Realm; this means a true dragon is about to appear.

As one of the overlords of the Eastern Wilderness, the Yao Guang Holy Land is filled with geniuses, and the Yao Guang Holy Son is high above, like a great sun in the sky.

What ordinary people consider geniuses are nothing more than geniuses in the eyes of the disciples of Yaoguang.

But even in the eyes of these arrogant Yao Guang disciples, someone like Li Yao is considered a prodigy. They are outstanding individuals in the eyes of many, but it took them at least three years to break through to the Divine Bridge Realm.

“A prodigy is about to emerge from Rising Sun Island. If Li Yao can maintain this momentum, he will surely have a place in the Holy Land in the future.”

Many people agree with this viewpoint, but a small minority disagree and even make sarcastic remarks.

"Ha, just because he cultivates quickly, does that mean he has great talent? What we cultivators should focus on most is combat strength. What good is a fast cultivation speed if he's just a silver spear with a wax head?"

The disciples were not surprised by this, since the disciples who said these words all came from Dragon Head Peak.

The animosity between Sunrise Island and Dragon Head Peak is common knowledge throughout the Holy Land.

Although Yao Guang Holy Land is a single power, there are quite a few internal factions that have conflicts with each other.

This is actually quite normal. In any mortal kingdom, there are different factions and forces. As long as there is no open warfare, the Holy Lord will not interfere in such matters.

In fact, most would be happy to see it happen, since the lineage to which the Holy Lord belongs is also one of the twelve factions. However, they usually don't get involved themselves, but rather mediate between the parties.

Therefore, the other disciples were not surprised at all by this verbal sparring and were all looking forward to watching the show.

"Some people are really good at pretending to be confused. They know it all in their hearts, but they just won't admit it. They say that being fast in cultivation is nothing. Well then, show me how fast you can be fast."

Disciples from the Rising Sun Island lineage stepped forward and directly mocked the disciples of Dragon Head Peak.

"Yes, who wouldn't want to cultivate faster? But it's not something you can just do on a whim; nobody has that ability."

"Hey, this reminds me of something. Before I embarked on my cultivation journey, there was a kid next door to my house who would always say, 'This meat doesn't taste good at all; it's sour,' whenever he saw me eating meat."

"You're complaining about the meat because you can't get any, huh?"

The disciples of Rising Sun Island collectively mocked the disciples of Dragon Head Peak. They were actually not familiar with Li Yao, and had never even met him.

However, if others mock the disciples of Rising Sun Island first and they don't react, their masters and senior brothers will be the first to hold them accountable when they return to the Holy Land.

The disciples became excited, seeing that there was something to watch, and many began to pay attention, wanting to see how things would unfold.

"Hmph, what's the use of being good with words? Only a real battle can tell. Let that genius from your Rising Sun Island come out, and we'll choose a disciple of the same level to fight. Then everything will be clear." The atmosphere immediately escalated to a new level. No one expected that what was supposed to be just verbal sparring would suddenly develop into a major battle.

However, this did not dampen their enthusiasm for watching the show.

The Yao Guang Holy Land does not oppose duels between its disciples; in fact, it even seems to support them, as long as no one dies.

Now that Dragon Head Peak has responded, let's see if Rising Sun Island dares to follow suit.

"You're not very confident, why aren't you saying anything?" At this moment, seeing that the Rising Sun Island side remained silent, the disciples of Dragon Head Peak immediately pressed their advantage.

The disciples of Rising Sun Island were immediately put on hold. They didn't know Li Yao, nor did they know his combat strength. How could they dare to rashly accept the challenge?

"Now Rising Sun Island is probably in a difficult position to back down. Li Yao may have great talent, but his training time is too short."

"Indeed, you broke through to the Divine Bridge Realm in just a few months of cultivation. It seems that you spent all your time on cultivation and probably didn't even have time to learn offensive divine techniques."

……

"Senior Brother Zhang, should we go and stop them?"

On the top floor of the magnificent palace, Elder Yun Shang of Luoxia Mountain looked at Zhang Chong with great interest.

"Let the younger generation's squabbles be. We all went through the same thing back then," Zhang Chong said calmly.

As half-step into the Great Power realm, they naturally witnessed the disputes among the disciples below, but neither of them intended to intervene.

Yun Shang smiled, looked in one direction, and said, "Then we'll have to see if the person involved will step forward."

The disciples of Dragon Head Peak are now issuing a challenge, but the person who issued the challenge is not present. The other disciples of Rising Sun Island are unsure of the situation and are not in a position to accept the challenge on Li Yao's behalf, resulting in a stalemate.

Now, unless Li Yao himself steps forward to accept the challenge, the momentum of Rising Sun Island will be overshadowed by Dragon Head Peak.

Zhang Chong remained silent. In truth, he was also somewhat uncertain. One thing the disciples were right about was that Li Yao's cultivation time was limited. He broke through to the Divine Bridge Realm in just a few months, so the time he spent practicing offensive divine techniques was very limited.

It wasn't that Zhang Chong didn't trust Li Yao, but rather that people's energy is limited and it's impossible to be perfect in every aspect.

The outside world was in complete chaos, and as one of the parties involved, Li Yao naturally heard some of the commotion.

After breaking through to the Divine Bridge Realm, his divine sense greatly increased. Although he did not know the whole story, he still managed to detect some sounds with his divine sense.

"Hey, do you think Li Yao from Rising Sun Island would accept Dragon Head Peak's challenge if he were here?"

"Who can say for sure? But I think he'll agree. All geniuses have one thing in common: pride. If someone challenges them to their face and they don't accept the challenge, then even if they have great talent, their future achievements will probably be limited."
