Chapter 718 - 297: Eradication!
As the grand event approaches, not only does Kyoto Prefecture gradually adopt a lively atmosphere, but more and more people from several nearby prefectures start their journeys.
Most are wandering warriors going to Kyoto Prefecture for the excitement, with only a few being young geniuses who have just come out of seclusion.
With the aristocratic family’s promotion behind the "Heaven’s Prodigy List" and Four Directions Building’s secret dissemination, the cultivation level of geniuses from various sects, academic sacred lands, and reclusive seniors has become well known to the public.
Even if there are some reclusive geniuses with exceptional cultivation, they are merely pleasant surprises, scarcely influencing the "Absolute Prodigies" in the eyes of wandering warriors.
Ranked first is naturally the "Little Sword Immortal" Chen Yi.
However, after Chen Yi went to the Demon Court and did a few great deeds, more and more martial world seniors and court officials suggested excluding Chen Yi from the grand event.
Of course, not allowing Chen Yi to participate in the grand event does not affect his participation in the betting agreement between demons and the Human Clan.
Even those from the Wei Dynasty secretly supported by demons never considered this.
As for the second rank among Wei Dynasty’s prodigies, opinions began to diverge.
The Kyoto Academy pushed Xie Dongan as the leading candidate, garnering great admiration from scholars and academics across various prefectures.
Even during the prohibition period in Kyoto Prefecture, many reclusive scholars sent messages to the Kyoto Academy Master, hoping he could advance Xie Dongan’s cultivation level and techniques.
Moreover, with the influence of Xie Dongan’s grandfather, Left Minister Xie Jing, and the civil servants’ support from the noble families behind them, significant efforts were made.
