Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

"You're so ignorant."

"Only someone with extremely high-quality spiritual energy within their body could achieve this. Therefore, I estimate that the cultivation technique he practices is at least rank three, or even rank two. It's not impossible that it's even rank one, as legendary. And his eyes should be a direct indication of the extremely high level of the cultivation technique."

"Wow, no wonder he's the top disciple of Haoran Peak! He's even reached the level of a first-grade cultivation technique!"

"What's so special about this? People like them usually don't reveal all their cards in public. So, he might have some terrifying methods we're unaware of!"

"hiss……"

"I've suddenly realized that there's a reason why Chang Wen became the senior disciple of Haoran Peak. I used to think it was because of his seniority, but now I see... he earned it through genuine ability!"

"Speaking of this generational hierarchy, something suddenly came to mind."

"What is it?"

"Chang Wen...how old is he this year?"

"I don't know how old he is, but I remember that Fairy Biyou brought him back more than 20 years ago. That means... he should only be in his early twenties now."

In her early twenties!

Once people realize this problem, they can no longer remain calm.

"A...a peak Nascent Soul cultivator in his early twenties? Junior brother, could you please tell me if I'm dreaming?"

"No, it's true."

"Hiss, tsk tsk..."

"A Nascent Soul cultivator in their early twenties? Tsk tsk. A Nascent Soul cultivator in their early twenties? Hiss..."

If Chu Xinghe, at the age of twenty-one, reached the peak of the Golden Core stage and resonated with all the Dao, they would feel immense pressure.

Chang Wen, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage at the age of twenty-six, was enough to keep them awake all night, giving them nightmares.

Only now did they realize that Chang Wen was not only exceptionally talented, but also frighteningly young!

He's just a young man in his early twenties!

At such a young age, he broke Zhou Qing's record of entering the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 170, becoming the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in the history of the Haoran Immortal Sect!

"I thought that when Senior Brother Zhou Qing entered the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 170, he was already an outstanding individual. I never expected Chang Wen to surpass him and shorten the record by almost nine times! My God, is he even human?"

"I've only just realized that the most terrifying person on Haoran Peak isn't Chu Xinghe, nor Shen Nianqing, but our senior brother Chang Wen!"

"A Nascent Soul cultivator in their early twenties is a rare find, even in the Northern Wilderness and the Imperial Continent! Could it be that my Vast Immortal Sect is about to produce another peerless talent... capable of comprehending the Great Bright Scripture?"

"Hmm... if I had heard this before, I might have called you an idiot, but now... for some reason, I feel the same way..."

"You're getting off-topic. The most important thing right now isn't that. It's whether Chang Wen can withstand the tenth level of the Nascent Soul Tribulation. That's a full ten levels of the Nascent Soul Tribulation!"

"That's hard to say."

"Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, each level requires rigorous training. It takes at least ten years to advance even one level. Chang Wen has now advanced ten levels directly, so his foundation is definitely unstable. Forcibly undergoing ten Nascent Soul Tribulations will likely be very difficult for him..."

"Look, if everything were judged by conventional wisdom, what would be the point of having extraordinary talents?"

"That's true. For such extraordinary individuals, things that defy common sense are just everyday occurrences; we can simply observe."

The disciples were buzzing with discussion, stunned and numb by Chang Wen's performance. They were also deeply worried about his safety, unsure if he could survive the tenth level of the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Despite the danger, many disciples remained optimistic and chose to trust Chang Wen.

Reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in his twenties is unprecedented and unparalleled, even surpassing the great Haoran Zhenren who founded the Haoran Immortal Sect.

Such a person is probably beyond the reach of even a tenth-level Nascent Soul cultivator capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

That's what people think.

"Damn it, what have I been doing?"

Standing on the balcony of Guandaotai, Han Xiao looked at Chang Wen and couldn't help but sigh. Only then did he realize what a golden opportunity he had missed.

With Chang Wen's talent, he will surely have a place on the list of outstanding figures in the Northern Wilderness in the future. Back when Chang Wen asked him for a loan, he actually helped Han Yaodong plot against Haoran Peak. Now he wished he could slap himself twice.

If he had tried his best to help Chang Wen back then and built a good relationship with him, what would things be like now?

Even if they don't rise to the top quickly, they will at least build a solid foundation in terms of connections, which is like having a get-out-of-jail-free card.

What now?

They have absolutely no connection, yet they still have to go to great lengths to curry favor with each other. It's a world of difference.

"I just don't know... whether Chang Wen can survive the tenth level of the Nascent Soul Tribulation. If he can, I'll have to give him a fortune..."

The balcony next door.

Shen Nianqing, Su Xiaoman, and Lin Yuan exchanged bewildered glances. They all saw the same blankness in each other's eyes.

It was as if he was asking the other person, "Is this person really our senior brother?"

The most puzzled person was the youngest, Su Xiaoman.

After spending four months with Chang Wen, her impression of him was that he was a very nice person. As for his strength, he was mediocre and couldn't compare to the other senior brothers and sisters.

She once considered Chang Wen a fellow sufferer, someone she could rely on for support. How come Chang Wen has now transformed into the most powerful fighter on Haoran Peak?

"Great! From now on, Xiaoman will be the weakest member of Haoran Peak..."

Thinking about this, Su Xiaoman felt an urge to cry. Her senior brother didn't even bother to put on an act, to consider a child's feelings... ≥﹏≤...

"It's okay, junior sister, I'm no good either."

The burly Lin Yuan, standing nearby, offered words of comfort.

"But Fourth Senior Brother, you look so scary, Xiaoman doesn't like playing with you..."

Su Xiaoman raised her little head, looked at Lin Yuan, and said honestly.

Lin Yuan...

Wow, who understands this?! I tried to comfort my junior sister out of kindness, and she just looked down on me...

"I'm just scary-looking, what did I do wrong?"

Lin Yuan sighed, turned away in a huff, and ignored Su Xiaoman. He looked back in Chang Wen's direction, "Senior Brother is the best. In the entire Haoran Immortal Sect, only Senior Brother treats me like a human being; even with a loan, he makes sure I'm well-fed..."

Shen Nianqing ignored the two of them and stared at Chang Wen, her mind reeling with shock.

Knowing the truth, she sees things from a different perspective than most people.

Chang Wen's ability to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in his twenties is likely due to a seal within his body. There's no doubt about that.

It is worth pondering how Chang Wen refined the strange fire seed in just a few days.

This is a very important issue.

"Even though the Strange Fire Seed was sealed by Kong Jian and the others, it was still enough to severely injure a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. If the seal were removed, its power would be unimaginable; even Lin Baoding probably wouldn't dare to grab it with his bare hands. You can imagine how dangerous it is."

"Power is one aspect, refining is another."

"Completely refining it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even for a Mahayana cultivator, it would take several years or even more than ten years to refine a fire seed, but Senior Brother did it in just a few days. He even went from the first level of the Nascent Soul stage to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop, which is too outrageous."

"Could it be that our senior brother is the reincarnation of some powerful being? Does he possess many heaven-defying abilities that I am unaware of?"
