Chapter 529: Five hundred and twenty-nine Hongjun’s Hammer
"Is he... at the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm?!"
Some sharp-eyed individuals stared at Yun Xiao on the stage in shock, as they suddenly realized that Yun Xiao, who had been blasted back a dozen steps, had at some point broken through to the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm.
"It seems he has finally activated the power of his Ancestor Vein!"
Many friends or adversaries familiar with Yun Xiao came to a realization, but those prodigies from foreign empires in the Hidden Dragon Continent barely knew anything about Yun Xiao.
To be able to propel his Meridian Qi Cultivation from Mid Stage to Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm by activating the power of his Ancestor Vein, it was clear that the grade of his Ancestor Vein had reached the Intermediate Spiritual Rank.
This was the Hidden Dragon Continent after all, where Ancestor Veins of Intermediate Spiritual Rank were not unheard of, but seeing one with one’s own eyes was a completely different matter.
Considering that even Xu Jiuding, the prodigious Crown Prince of Xuanyue Empire who activated the power of two Ancestor Veins, only managed to advance a single step at the Peak of the Meridian Union Realm and had not achieved a true breakthrough.
Could it be that the grade of Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Vein was even higher than that of the Xuanyue Royal Family, which had a legacy of a thousand years? Where on earth did this young man come from, and how could he possess such a formidable Ancestor Vein?
The elders of the Jade Pot Sect and King Xuan Haoran of Xuanyue Country thought they understood Yun Xiao well, having thoroughly investigated his background.
But now, this young man who emerged from a minor merchant family in Moon Bow City actually possessed an Ancestor Vein of Intermediate Spiritual Rank, and possibly more than one - what was going on here?
According to what Xuan Haoran and others knew about the merchant family in Moon Bow City, such a small family lineage could barely have a hundred years of history, lacking significant heritage.
It’s not unheard of for a family to suddenly rise—perhaps having acquired some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or fortunate enough to find powerful Cultivation Techniques and Meridian Techniques, or even attaching themselves to some strong forces, enabling a swift rise was not impossible.
