Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

No matter what, Yun Xiao currently only had the cultivation of the peak of the Meridian Rushing Realm, and although the golden shield of Earth Rank Meridian Techniques was strong, it had its limits in endurance.

Clearly, Yue Qi’s Black Demon Two Fingers, even though it could not truly sever the heavens and earth, still posed no problem in shattering Yun Xiao’s defensive shield.

”Crash!”

Under the watchful eyes of the Jade Pot Sect, the sound of energy shattering suddenly rang out, and then they clearly saw the air filled with fragments of golden energy.

”Die!”

Seeing that the pale golden shield was broken, a cruel light flashed in Yue Qi’s eyes, followed by a deep shout. It seemed he had long harbored a murderous intent towards Yun Xiao.

This true top genius of the Jade Pot Sect was intolerant of any dissent; his only rival was previously Mo Qing, and now Yun Xiao had appeared, which made Yue Qi feel his authority was being challenged, and he had to kill to settle this quickly.

In Yue Qi’s mind, no matter how much Yun Xiao struggled, even if he possessed Earth Rank defensive Meridian Techniques, he could not possibly defeat him. Given this, why not seize the opportunity to eliminate this potential threat?

Despite Yue Qi’s outward disregard for Yun Xiao, perhaps even he himself didn’t realize deep within, he felt a sense of unease and threat because of this new genius of the Jade Pot Sect.

These thoughts flashed through Yue Qi’s mind in a moment, and the next second, his Black Demon Two Fingers showed no hesitation, fiercely pressing towards Yun Xiao’s vital chest area.

With the momentum from breaking the golden shield, everyone believed Yun Xiao’s chances were slim; perhaps only his well-understanding friends like Spiritual Pill Moqing saw a flicker of unusual light in their eyes.

Having been in contact with Yun Xiao for a long time, they understood more of this young man’s miraculous abilities; at least Spiritual Pill Moqing and others clearly knew that at this moment, Yun Xiao was probably not in his strongest state yet. He had some cards that he hadn’t played yet.

The two huge fingers indeed landed on the vital area on Yun Xiao’s chest. Seeing this scene, many speculated on Yun Xiao’s fate, but on the stage above, Yue Qi slightly frowned at this moment.

In the northern seats, Yun Xiao’s good friends like Lu Zhan and Li Shan appeared somber, while Elder Fu Du and Mo Li were smiling, seeming to have a good understanding of the power of Yue Qi’s Black Demon Two Fingers.

”Hehe, Sect Master, this time, you must concede!”

Fu Du, full of pride and in high spirits, couldn’t help but turn his head and say to Yu Shu, his words filled with triumph.

Indeed, Yue Qi was Fu Du’s most proud disciple, while Yun Xiao was Yu Shu’s newly accepted direct disciple. Now that his disciple was able to defeat the Sect Leader’s disciple, it certainly brought some honor to his face.

Moreover, recently, the things Yun Xiao had done had shocked many disciples of the Jade Pot Sect, even showing signs of surpassing Yue Qi. Plus, as Fu Du had always been displeased with Yun Xiao, of course, he took the opportunity to say a few words.

”Hehe, Elder Fu Du, saying this now, isn’t it a bit too early?”

Before Yu Shu could respond, Jia Yi, the Sect Leader of Luoyi Sect, chuckled lightly, and this laughter not only caused several Medical Pulse Elders to look shifted, but also Liu Hanyi, who had been extremely worried, relaxed her brows a bit.

Compared to Yue Qi, who was unfamiliar and also a Poison Vein Master, Liu Hanyi undoubtedly had a better impression of Yun Xiao. Not to mention that the latter could help her control her body’s erosion, but also the companionship in Xuanyue Imperial Palace had brought their relationship much closer.

”Oh? Sect Leader Luoyi, what insights do you have...”

”Whoosh!”

Hearing Jia Yi’s words, Fu Du rolled his eyes. However, just as he turned his head to ask, the entire arena hall was suddenly abuzz, making him hurriedly turn his head back to the central stage.

Elder Fu Du’s eyes were almost bursting with fire. He was utterly astonished by Yun Xiao’s current state; the boy who was just at the Peak of Meridian Rushing Realm had incredibly reached the Early Stage of Meridian Union Realm.

According to what Elder Fu Du knew of Yun Xiao, the latter had only two Ancestor Veins not long ago. Yet even Spiritual Rank Ancestor Veins shouldn’t have allowed for such a tremendous breakthrough, which completely overturned his understanding of the power of Ancestor Veins.

Huff... Huff... Huff...

As Elder Fu Du stood up, the several Great Elders and the leaders of the two sects nearby also noticed this, showing different expressions, but all, without exception, rose from their seats.

”Heh, Sect Leader Yu Shu, it seems I truly underestimated your proud disciple. At the Meridian Rushing stage with three Ancestor Veins, Yun Xiao’s future is truly limitless!”

This time, Sect Leader Jia Yi from the Luoyi Sect spoke. Although she was not a Meridian Refining Master, her strength was evident, and as a sect leader, she had more insight and methods than Elder Fu Du. She recognized the signs at a glance.

”Three... Three Ancestor Veins?!”

With these words from Jia Yi, not only did Elder Fu Du tremble, but even the elders of the three Medical Pulse sects showed disbelief on their faces. Liu Hanyi was particularly amazed, staring unwaveringly at the young man on the platform.

Ancestor Veins aren’t something you can have just by wanting them. First, you need to have mighty ancestors. Moreover, you need a bit of luck to activate Ancestor Veins during a power breakthrough so that you have stronger battle capabilities than cultivators of the same level.

On the Hidden Dragon Continent, geniuses who can activate one Ancestor Vein at the Meridian Rushing stage are incredibly rare, and those who can activate two are extraordinary geniuses.

But now, here was Yun Xiao, standing right in front of everyone, and with the reminder from Jia Yi, Elder Fu Du and others finally realized that the power of those three great Ancestor Veins was undeniable.

At this moment, a fiery power was emanating from Yun Xiao’s right arm, twisting the air around it as if roasting it.

Around his left arm, however, swirled wisps of mist, which looked likely to condense into ice at any moment, clearly demonstrating a strong Ice Cold Power.

For Yun Xiao’s two Ancestor Veins, Elder Fu Du and Lu Zhan were not too unfamiliar, but what surprised them was the special Ancestor Vein on Yun Xiao’s right leg, emitting a profound strength, something they had never known about.

Since activating this third Earth-Attribute Ancestor Vein, Yun Xiao had never revealed its power in public, so even his closest friends were unclear about it, let alone the more distant sect elders.

If calculated, it turned out that Yun Xiao had Ancestor Veins activated during his breakthroughs through Meridian Introduction Realm, Meridian Gathering Realm, and Meridian Rushing Realm, which is truly earth-shattering.

Even as Yun Xiao’s mentor, Yu Shu was gaping wide, unable to close his mouth. A talent with three activated Ancestor Veins at the Meridian Rushing stage was probably rare even in the Middle Three Realms.

Speaking of which, the perspective of Yu Shu and others was too limited. Just considering Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Vein Power, let alone the Middle Three Realms, even among the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud it was among the top.

To say nothing else, even the Long Xiao Battle God in his previous life never activated more than ten Ancestor Veins when he reached the Peak of the Holy Rank Third Realm.

”If I am not wrong, all three of Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Veins have likely reached the Spiritual Rank level. Now this is going to be an exciting show!”

Jia Yi slowly sat back down, her words implying more, turning Elder Fu Du’s face even uglier beside her who had just recovered from shock.

As Jia Yi said, Yun Xiao had been in a passive state taking hits, and though he had some tricks up his sleeves, Elder Fu Du never thought that his disciple Yue Qi would lose.

But now, with three activated Ancestor Veins and Meridian Qi Cultivation raised to the Early Stage of Meridian Union, even Elder Fu Du was not entirely sure anymore. This boy was simply too unpredictable.

Able to compete with Yue Qi at the Peak of Meridian Rushing Realm, now that Yun Xiao had broken through, it was truly uncertain whose deer would fall.

Meanwhile, other disciples from the Jade Pot Sect inside the grand hall, after the initial shock, had something else in their eyes—a peculiar anticipation, as if the young man who had joined the Jade Pot Sect just over a year might truly create a miracle.

”Is this... his true strength?”

A girl in black was overflowed with splendor in her eyes, feeling something inside her touched at this moment. The brighter the young man on the platform shone, the more evident this touch became, gradually reaching an uncontrollable state.

”I knew it, Brother Yun Xiao would definitely not lose!”

Compared to Mo Qing, Ling Wan clenched his fists hard. If anyone had the utmost confidence in Yun Xiao at the scene, it was this chubby boy with Mixed Element Qi, whose loud cheers pulled Mo Qing back to reality.

But what everyone didn’t see was that while they were surprised, on the central main platform, Yue Qi, the number one genius of the Poison Vein, also had his fighting spirit reaching its peak at that moment.
