Emperor-level rulers.
At the very least, they needed to have perfected their dao and condensed a dao heart.
Going from earth supreme to diviner was already a hurdle, and diviner to ruler was even more difficult. If one wanted to perfect their dao and condense a dao heart, they needed both talent and opportunity.
There was no need to mention just how harsh the requirements were for the emperors to choose geniuses.
Becoming a diviner in just a thousand years was already shocking enough, and becoming a ruler was even more monstrous. However, even a monstrous existence was like the gap between a firefly and the moon in front of an emperor or ruler in a thousand years.
If it weren't for the girl and the icily arrogant youth, Liu Qing would have been the one they cared about and nurtured the most. However, the girl and the youth completely outshone her brilliance.
"Hmph."
Even though Liu Qing didn't care too much about it, geniuses always had their own pride.
She had already noticed the girl and the youth before coming to the tenth Divine Mountain. She could clearly sense just how serious of a threat they posed to her.
The girl was a Divine General-level girl, so it was easier for Liu Qing to accept.
The girl might look young, but for people at their level, appearance was no longer the only way to judge someone's age. Liu Qing had only ascended a hundred years ago. Even if she was in the Modern Realm, she hadn't even been born for two hundred years.
Perhaps the girl was already eight or nine hundred years old. Liu Qing asked herself if she was given enough time.
She would definitely be able to beat the girl to a pulp.
However, even Liu Qing couldn't bring herself to care about the emperor-level youth at all. The few of them were sitting on two separate flying boats. Even so, when she first saw the young man, she could feel the young man's indomitable spirit.
Even though Liu Qing's cultivation was slightly lower than his, she could guess that the dao he had comprehended must be extremely domineering.
"Why is it them?"
"He's here too!?"
The Ocean Emperor and Xuan Ji exclaimed at almost the same time. Liu Qing could clearly hear the two emperors' exclamations as well.
She knew that the exclamations weren't directed at her, but at the girl and the youth.
Although she didn't express her displeasure, Cui Twelve could clearly sense the change in the aura of the seventeenth highness, who was spoiled by the Bi 'an Emperor and also came from the Modern Realm like a younger sister.
Cui Twelve couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. He was one of the few Rulers among this group of prodigies.
Logically speaking, he had ascended less than a thousand years ago. Breaking through to the Sovereign Realm was something to be proud of. However, he knew very well that his existence could not be compared to those truly monstrous talents on the flying boat.
Ye Zichen naturally sensed the two great emperors' astonishment, but before he could ask, the four flying ships landed on the ground.
Smoke and dust flew everywhere.
The few people on the ground subconsciously used their divine power to block the flying dust outside. Not long after, the few Great Emperors on the flying ship arrived in front of everyone.
"You guys sure took your time." The Ocean Sovereign smiled.
"Heh, I told you to say that. You're enjoying yourselves on the Divine Mountains while we go out to recruit the geniuses of the world. It's one thing if you don't mention our hard work, but to think we're slow? "Great Emperor Bi 'an laughed. Then, he turned around and waved at Liu Qing.
Liu Jing, who was standing on the flying vessel, walked over when she saw this. Cui Twelve walked over as well.
"I'm sure you all know that Little Seventeenth Liu Qing is the youngest princess of the Four Directions Palace. It's been about two hundred years since I brought her here … … "Great Emperor Bi 'an introduced her.
"Less than two hundred years," said Liu Qing.
Normally, Liu Qing wouldn't have reacted this way. Two hundred years as a ruler was an absolute shock to anyone.
Even among the Emperors present, there were few who could break through to the Sovereign Realm in less than two hundred years.
She was only acting this way because of the youth and girl behind her. She didn't want them to look down on her.
"That's right. Less than two hundred years, just a little over a hundred. Now that she's a ruler, she's reached the pinnacle of elemental fire. She's only a step away from condensing a dao heart, "said Great Emperor Bi 'an.
"I've long since heard of Her Highness's peerless talent. As expected, seeing is believing," the great emperors chuckled.
"As for this one, this is Cui Twelve, the Twelfth Highness of the Four Directions Palace. Although he hasn't condensed a godhead yet, he's skilled in divination and is also a ruler."
"Twelve greets the great emperors," Cui Twelve cupped his hands respectfully.
These people were rulers now, so they'd naturally be the ones they'd spend most of their resources on.
The other great emperors introduced the other rulers one by one. When they mentioned Xia Keke, they emphasized the importance the Dragon Race placed on her. The Dragon God's expectations for her also raised the great emperors' expectations for her.
However, the girl didn't seem to be as stubborn as Liu Qing. She ignored the great emperors' gazes and stuck to Ye Zichen's side the moment she arrived.
This was just the first batch of geniuses selected. In the future, the great emperors would continue to search for more geniuses. There were a total of ten rulers on the four flying boats. The great emperors were already quite satisfied with this number.
However, the ones they cared most about were the girl with the doll and the cold-faced youth.
"Don't look at me like that."
As if sensing the gazes of the Great Emperors, the young girl who was holding the doll that looked like a porcelain doll actually revealed a shy expression. She grabbed the doll and hid it behind the young man.
The cold, arrogant youth paid no attention to the great emperors' gazes. He raised his head proudly, then calmly cupped his hands at the Ocean Emperor.
"Ocean Emperor, long time no see!"
The Ocean Emperor smiled and nodded. The great emperors seemed to know something, and they looked at the two of them awkwardly. Ye Zichen and the others frowned, wondering if this person knew the Ocean Emperor.
However, the youth's next words left Ye Zichen, Pu Jingwan, and the others wide-eyed.
"I was careless the first time. If we fight again, you might not be my match."
In an instant, the surrounding people were stunned. The surrounding air seemed to be frozen by the young man's words.
The girl hiding behind him tugged at the youth's clothes. "Big Bro, auntie said we had to be polite before we left."
The youth ignored her. He continued to stare at the Ocean Emperor arrogantly, but before long, his gaze landed on Ye Zichen.
This was an extremely irritating, scrutinizing gaze. Ye Zichen couldn't help but frown. This was too rude.
