Feng Yuyan’s injuries were severe, but her healing elixir was evidently extraordinary. In just two hours, her injuries were seventy to eighty percent healed.
Hoo!
Feng Yuyan completed her cultivation and stood up from the ground. An invisible pressure emanated from her body, sweeping through the air in a wave of white energy.
"Let’s go!"
Feng Yuyan glanced at Chu Ming and spoke calmly.
"No problem!"
Chu Ming nodded. He didn’t ask Feng Yuyan which domain she came from. In his mind, once they finished exploring the location on the map, they would part ways, making such inquiries unnecessary.
The two of them set off toward the Blood Bee Mountain Range, leaving the corpses of the two gray-robed youths behind, gradually disappearing from their sight.
On the way, they naturally conversed. From their conversation, Chu Ming learned that Feng Yuyan was a prodigy from the Profound Ice Domain. She had been pursued by the Ye Family due to a dispute over a beast skin map at an auction.
"You’ve never attended Wang Xuanyi’s tea gathering?"
As they talked, Feng Yuyan realized that Chu Ming had no idea what the Profound List was and was not one of its prodigies. However, even so, she didn’t look down on him at all.
"Who is Wang Xuanyi?"
Chu Ming was taken aback, realizing how little he knew about the Eastern Hundred Domains. His experiences were limited to the Celestial Realm.
"Uh..."
Feng Yuyan was momentarily stunned, then explained everything about the Profound List without any hesitation, as it was no secret.
Through their conversation, she’d understood that Chu Ming was a disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect. Even if she didn’t tell him, the Sect’s Realm of Transcendence experts would eventually inform Chu Ming about the Profound List. It was just a matter of time.
As Feng Yuyan explained, the light in Chu Ming’s eyes grew brighter. To be honest, Chu Ming had reached the pinnacle of the younger generation in the Celestial Realm. It was only by witnessing the talents from other domains that he could improve further.
From Feng Yuyan’s words, Chu Ming learned that Wang Xuanyi was one of the four great prodigies of the Eastern Hundred Domains, known as "Prince of a Hundred Swords."
The other three great prodigies were Lei Wushuang, known as "Thunder Spirit Prince" from the Thunder Marsh Domain.
Huo Qingwu, known as the "Princess of Fire" from the Fire Domain.
Mei Wuxie, known as "Prince of Fortune" from the Chifeng Domain.
"The tea gathering is held once a year, a grand event for the younger generation of the Eastern Hundred Domains. Last time, it was hosted by the Prince of a Hundred Swords, Wang Xuanyi. If I remember correctly, this time it should be hosted by the Prince of Fortune, Mei Wuxie."
Feng Yuyan introduced calmly.
"Are you also on the Profound List?"
Chu Ming asked indifferently. Judging by his observation, Feng Yuyan was quite strong and should occupy a position on the Profound List.
"Last tea gathering, I was ranked forty-fifth on the Profound List!"
Feng Yuyan answered.
Chu Ming nodded. Indeed, there are always those stronger than the strong. Feng Yuyan was definitely the strongest young person he had ever encountered, yet she was only ranked forty-fifth on the Profound List. This spoke volumes about the terrifying prowess of those ranked ahead of her.
Simultaneously, Chu Ming estimated that his Broken Dream’s destructive power would place him around the thirtieth position on the Profound List. His estimation might be slightly off, but it wouldn’t be by much.
"How does one qualify to participate in the tea gathering?"
Chu Ming naturally wouldn’t naively think that any prodigy of the Eastern Hundred Domains could join. If that were the case, the number of would-be participants would likely reach fifty to six hundred thousand. After all, such a gathering allowed prodigies to watch battles and learn, only offering advantages without any disadvantages.
"Invitations to the tea gathering are sent to various prodigies three months before the event. Don’t worry, the Life and Death Palace practically has records on all prodigies."
Feng Yuyan explained.
Chu Ming nodded. He was somewhat familiar with the Life and Death Palace.
The Life and Death Palace is a continent-wide force with a transcending status. It is said that figures like the Emperor of Destruction, the Emperor of Creation, and Emperor Ming, who have sealed themselves as emperors, are guest elders of the Life and Death Palace. They haven’t denied this, showcasing the Palace’s immense power.
Additionally, the Life and Death Palace manages the most comprehensive intelligence network on the continent, with branch halls almost everywhere, including the Celestial Realm. Compared to the Life and Death Palace, the Celestial Travel Sect is like a mere underling.
The two entered the Blood Bee Mountain Range, traversing through the dense foliage. As they moved, the trees on either side blurred and retreated rapidly.
Swoosh!
A sharp sword light shot from Chu Ming’s fingertip, instantly killing a hidden Seventh Level Low Tier Withered Bone Nether Wolf ten meters away.
Feng Yuyan’s expression remained unchanged. During their swift movement, he could distinctly sense a cold aura extending from Feng Yuyan’s body, causing frost to form on the trees she brushed past.
Chu Ming didn’t inquire further since everyone had their secrets.
"This way!"
Chu Ming took out three beast skin maps from his storage ring and pieced them together, speaking calmly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Feng Yuyan’s eyes, but she said nothing. Everyone had their own fortunes; it wasn’t surprising that Chu Ming had two maps.
Based on Chu Ming’s estimation, these maps were at least several thousand years old.
As they continued, Chu Ming’s ears twitched. The Conjugate Sword instantly unsheathed, and a terrifying sword light encompassed the area ahead, turning the leaves to powder that scattered in the air.
Roar!
A massive Fire Armor Beast lunged out from the dense forest ahead, with flames burning at its feet. As it stomped the ground, it created deep pits, radiating intense fire essence in all directions.
Clang! Clang!
Chu Ming’s sword light clashed with the Fire Armor Beast’s iron armor, sparks flying like a fiery rain.
The Fire Armor Beast was a Seventh Level Middle Tier Demon Beast. Though it couldn’t match Chu Ming’s destructive power, its defense was exceedingly strong, comparable to a Seventh Level High Tier Demon Beast.
Roar!
Its body shook as it spat a flaming missile at Chu Ming, turning the air to void.
Swish!
Chu Ming lightly tapped his right foot, using the recoil to rush at the Fire Armor Beast. The Conjugate Sword in his hand brandished a sword light, shattering the flaming missile like aurora.
Whoosh!
Feng Yuyan’s body shifted, a unique energy field emanating from her. It felt like multiple flowing blades spiraled around her, slicing through the air.
Crack!
Crack!
Within the energy field, a layer of frost slowly formed on the Fire Armor Beast’s iron armor before shattering, spraying blood. Its iron armor was broken, and the frenzied beast’s flaming limbs stomped the ground, creating black potholes.
