Chapter 277 - 186: Ascending the Earth Rankings, Reaching the Pinnacle!
Upon hearing these words, everyone present fell silent.
As the most exceptional talents of the Human Race in the present age, and the most gifted generation in thousands of years, they could have reached the pinnacle in any era.
Yet, it seemed there was a pattern: among a group of the exceptional, there always was a monster, even though their natural gifts were already sufficient.
The Three Pure Daoist was that monster; his cultivation journey was like that of a Great Divine Power reincarnated, advancing by leaps and bounds in an unstoppable manner.
Likewise, in very little time, he had achieved what others spent their whole lives striving for. This was the true nature of the exceptional, only that the difference between the strong and the weak was as vast as that between heaven and earth.
The geniuses set the stage for the exceptional ones, and the exceptional ones would highlight an extraordinarily unique individual. In the past, it was Xiao Yunyi; he was the first to gain fame and once single-handedly challenged the younger generation of the Buddhist, Taoist, and Demon sects with his sword and won.
Chi Yu Zi and Jun Yan were both defeated by Xiao Yunyi; Jade Sword Buddha, having a special identity, typically wasn’t counted among the younger generation, nor did she actively participate in the competition.
Later, Xiao Yunyi was defeated by the Three Pure Daoist, and eventually, he descended into madness. Today, it was only natural for the Three Pure Daoist to be overthrown, but Gu Wen’s pace was abnormal.
