Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

The overwhelming pressure that had been weighing on everyone's hearts receded like a tide.

Lu Changji slowly withdrew his hand, which had been hovering three inches above Su Yu's shoulder.

He stood with his hands behind his back.

His expression had returned to its usual refined and gentle manner.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that the corners of this supreme god's eyes are twitching slightly and very unnaturally.

"metropolitan!"

Upon seeing the sect leader stop, Venerable Xuanyuan immediately stepped forward.

His expression was solemn, and he lowered his voice.

"How so!"

"This child's origins are unknown, and his physical body is strange."

"Are they spies sent by those evil organizations to ignite a catastrophe in this place of calamity?"

A murderous glint flashed in Venerable Xuanyuan's eyes.

"If there is any suspicion, I will execute him on the spot immediately!"

Around them, Chen Xuan and his guards also gripped their weapons tightly.

As long as the sect leader gives the order, they will act without hesitation.

Venerable Shepherd Star lay sprawled on the ground, his face ashen.

It’s over.

This time I'm really going to be dragged down with them.

however.

Lu Changji merely glanced at Xuan Yuan indifferently.

He waved.

"Put away your murderous aura."

Lu Changji's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

"He's not a spy."

"Nor was it possessed by any old monster."

Upon hearing this...

Venerable Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and the killing intent in his eyes froze instantly.

Not a spy?

Not possessed?

What's going on with this abnormal physical body?

Lu Changji ignored Xuan Yuan's astonishment.

He turned his head and looked at Su Yu with deep eyes.

"Your name is Su Yu?"

"Yes."

Su Yu nodded, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"Where are you from?"

Lu Changji asked very directly.

After all, any organization capable of cultivating such prodigies must have a powerful background!

It is even highly likely that they are ancient lineages hidden deep within the Origin God Realm, which even the Hunyuan Dao Palace is unwilling to easily provoke.

Su Yu remained calm.

"Without a sect or faction."

"A mere rogue cultivator."

This statement came out.

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

Venerable Xuanyuan almost couldn't help but curse out loud.

A rogue cultivator?

Can your family's independent cultivators train their physical bodies to the point of being able to repel the divine senses of the Supreme Realm?

Your family's rogue cultivators can cause the Supreme Magic Array to crash?

You're kidding me!

however.

Lu Changji was not angry when he heard this answer.

in contrast.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

understood.

Hidden sects!

It is definitely an ancient lineage that is passed down only to one person, detached from worldly affairs, and only emerges during cosmic catastrophes!

This kind of inheritance has always been done in a low-key manner.

When disciples travel outside, they usually consider themselves independent practitioners and do not want to get involved in too much karma.

Since the other party was unwilling to reveal their sect, Lu Changji naturally wouldn't pry.

At his level, he clearly understands what he should ask and what he shouldn't ask.

It's far more worthwhile to build a good relationship than to create a deep and unfathomable enemy for no reason.

Lu Changji waved again.

The wide sleeves of the robe fluttered in the air.

"He's fine."

Lu Changji gave instructions to Venerable Xuanyuan.

"All data is accurate."

"Now that he has secured a spot, let him go in for the trial."

"No one may stop it."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Everyone was stunned in front of the colossal bronze gate.

Chen Xuan's eyes widened as he looked at Su Yu, then at the sect leader.

no problem?

How could there be no problem!

Venerable Xuanyuan became even more anxious.

He stepped forward, his voice filled with disbelief.

"metropolitan!"

"This kid's bone age..."

Venerable Xuanyuan pointed to the crystal tablet that had returned to calm, where the number was still clearly displayed.

one hundred.

"The bone age displayed by this magic array is definitely fake!"

"Even if he's not a spy, he's definitely an ancient monster who has lived for countless years!"

"Sect Master, you personally investigated just now, and this kid... is he really a hundred years old??"

Venerable Xuanyuan stared at Lu Changji.

He needs an answer.

Venerable Shepherd Star also pricked up his ears.

Chen Xuan and the others also held their breath.

All eyes were on Lu Changji.

Lu Changji stood still.

Looking at Venerable Xuanyuan's old face, which was full of thirst for knowledge.

He shook his head.

"No."

Lu Changji's voice was unusually calm.

Hearing the word "no".

Venerable Xuanyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Look!

I knew it!

What do you mean by living to be a hundred? It's all a lie!

This is definitely an ancient monster whose lifespan is unknown!

however.

Before Venerable Xuanyuan could completely relax his expression...

Lu Changji's voice was calm and gentle, yet as powerful as thunder.

It exploded in everyone's ears.

He is not a hundred years old.

Lu Changji gave Su Yu a deep look.

"he."

Eighteen years old.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Even the wind stopped before the colossal bronze gate.

The expression on Venerable Xuanyuan's face froze completely, like a weathered stone sculpture.

Venerable Shepherd Star gaped open, forgetting even to breathe.

Eighteen years old.

These three words were like three heavy hammers, striking the hearts of everyone present.

Lu Changji didn't say anything more.

He turned around and took a step forward.

His figure instantly merged into the void and disappeared.

Only a group of venerable ones, their brains completely shut down, were left standing there, bewildered in the wind.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked in the direction where Lu Changji had disappeared.

This supreme god is quite reasonable.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Xuan, who was still in a daze.

"May I go in now?"

Su Yu's tone was indifferent.

Chen Xuan shuddered and snapped back to his senses.

He looked at Su Yu, his eyes no longer showing the coldness and wariness they had before.

Instead, there was an extreme awe towards the monster.

"Yes...yes!"

Chen Xuan's voice was trembling.

He quickly stepped aside and gestured for him to enter.

"Guest Su, please come in!"

Without wasting words, Su Yu strode toward the massive bronze gate that exuded an ancient aura.

Venerable Shepherd Star also quickly got up from the ground, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and followed closely behind Su Yu.

The way he looks at Su Yu now is more respectful than when he looks at his ancestors.

An eighteen-year-old master of the Reverse Power Realm!

A physical body so abnormal that even the supreme god acknowledges it!

What a powerful patron I've managed to latch onto!

Rumbling--

The massive bronze gate slowly opened.

A chaotic, oppressive storm of laws, imbued with an aura of endless calamity, swept out from behind the door.

A place of calamity.

Su Yu remained calm and stepped inside.

Venerable Xuanyuan stood before the massive bronze gate.

Watching Su Yu's disappearing figure, I glanced at the direction the sect leader had left in the void.

A hint of sadness and disappointment flashed across that weathered old face.

Eighteen years old.

This number, like a sharp carving knife, shattered his cultivation knowledge built up over trillions of years.

He didn't say anything more.

He turned around, took a step, and left this place of sorrow that had thwarted his Dao heart, his spirit broken.

Deep within the Hunyuan Dao Palace.

Bronze Temple.

The Venerable Xuanyuan appeared, but his steps seemed somewhat heavy.

In the center of the hall.

Gu Jianyi is practicing his sword.

The sword thrust out, but the surrounding space did not shatter; instead, it presented a strange sense of collapse, as if all things were returning to one.

The sword light receded.

Gu Jian sheathed his sword and turned to look at Venerable Xuanyuan.

Those eyes, as bright as stars, revealed an irrepressible sharpness.

"Master."

Gu Jianyi bowed slightly, his tone carrying a hint of calm joy.

"Just now, I had a vague understanding."

"If I can completely solidify this true meaning of returning to oneness before the Supreme Tournament of Myriad Realms ten years from now, I might be able to break through to the Reverse Authority Realm in one fell swoop."
