Chapter 1213: Entering The Holy Sect, The Number One Genius (4)
In the five million years since his arrival, Wu Yuan had strategically revealed his strength in measured increments. He had swiftly risen from an ordinary Sageling to one of the elite ten, and finally to the number one Sageling of the Qian Yang Holy Sect. His formidable reputation now echoed throughout the upper three realms.
During his exploits across the Second Realm, he had crossed swords with Sagelings from rival holy sects, slaying those foolish enough to challenge him. The consensus among cultivators across all six holy sects acknowledged him as the number one talent of their generation.
Inside the crystalline glacier hall, a purple-robed man sat comfortably on a jade platform, his posture relaxed yet dignified.
"Wu Ji, you've returned at last! How was your contemplation at the Eternal Depths Sea these past ten thousand years?" he inquired with a warm smile.
"I gained some modest insights," Wu Yuan replied, his lips curving into a smile, "though I remain distant from pioneering a Dao. I'll resume my cultivation now."
"Don’t worry," the purple-robed man assured him. "With me overseeing matters here, I'll personally notify you should anything of importance arise."
This purple-robed figure was Que Duo, a Perennial powerhouse serving as the guardian of Frost Island City. Though merely an ordinary Perennial in terms of raw strength, he consistently displayed exceptional courtesy toward Wu Yuan, convinced that the younger cultivator's future prowess would vastly outshine his own. Throughout Wu Yuan's time in Frost Island, Que Duo had persistently attempted to curry favor with him.
Wu Yuan could only respond politely, wishing to avoid unnecessary conflict with the city's guardian.
Within his private meditation chamber, Wu Yuan sat in lotus position. A flicker of disappointment crossed his features.
The Eternal Depths Sea yielded no traces either. He murmured. No great secrets to be found there.
Five million years had passed like a fleeting dream. In the distant Ling Jiang Universe, his two true selves had also remained in secluded cultivation throughout this span of time. How incomprehensibly long these years had been for Wu Yuan!
Throughout these five million years, Wu Yuan had journeyed far and wide under the identity of Overlord Wu Ji, venturing boldly into the First and Third Realms. He had explored nearly all renowned sites within the upper three realms.
