Dayuan Calendar, Year 1003, December 30th.
Today was an important day!
Three years ago today, Ye Xing had arrived at the Star Continent. He had reached the age of sixteen, sensed the stars, and stepped onto the martial path.
Two years ago today, Ye Xing had reached the age of seventeen. In the Green Cloud Mountain Range, he had discovered a star crystal mine. After absorbing the star crystal spiritual milk, he had broken through to the Star Vortex Realm and become a Martial Sage.
One year ago today, Ye Xing had reached the age of eighteen. In the True Xuan Domain's Young Hero Assembly, he had broken through to the Astral Realm and become a Perfected Person. He had won in one fell swoop, becoming the number one junior in the True Xuan Domain.
Today, Ye Xing had reached the age of nineteen. The East Divine Continent's Young Genius Assembly would be held at the Divine Continent Mountain. Ye Xing would compete with all the young geniuses of the East Divine Continent.
However, Ye Xing did not intend to be number one today. He did not even intend to enter the top ten. He only wanted to enter the top 100 and obtain the right to participate in the third Genius Selection.
In the southern part of the Divine Continent Mountain, there was a valley. The terrain was gentle, and it was several li wide and ten li long. It was very wide.
The Blood Edge Empire, the Black Raven Empire, and the Sky Eagle Empire were the organizers of the Genius Selection. The three empires had sent people to this valley early on to start construction.
In the center of the valley, ten arenas had been built to serve as the venue for the Genius Selection. On the two sides of the mountain ridges, there were stone chairs for the spectators.
In the depths of the valley, at the foot of the Divine Continent Mountain, there were pavilions built. The environment was clearly much better than the stone chairs on the two sides of the mountain ridges.
The East Divine Continent had a total of thirty-six empires. This Genius Selection was a grand occasion for the East Divine Continent. Each empire had sent Honorables to escort their young geniuses.
The beautiful pavilions were for the Honorables to watch the battles. Naturally, they were different from the ordinary stone chairs.
On the two sides of the valley, there was a sea of people. Compared to the True Xuan Domain's Young Hero Assembly, there were many more spectators.
The two mountain ridges stretched for ten li and were about four to five hundred meters tall. On each mountain ridge, there were no less than ten million martial artists watching. Moreover, most of these spectators were Perfected Persons.
There were also quite a number of Martial Sages, all of whom were relatively young. They should have been brought here by their elders to broaden their horizons.
Most of the spectators were from the Blood Edge Empire, the Black Crow Empire, and the Sky Eagle Empire. However, there were also some from other regions.
The geniuses of the younger generation participating in the Genius Assembly were separated into 108 different locations according to the region they were in. They were together with the Enlightened Masters and Elders of the various regions.
The True Xuan Region was one of the most ordinary regions. It was located at the end of the mountain ridge on the right side of the valley.
The names of the younger generation geniuses from the various regions had already been handed over to the people in charge of hosting the Genius Assembly in the three high-rank empires.
The three Upper-Rank Empires had sent three One-Star Martial Highnesses and ten half-Martial Highnesses to host the competition.
Of the three one-star Venerables, one was at the front of the valley, one was at the middle of the valley, and one was at the end of the valley. They were in control of the overall situation.
The ten half-step Martial Highness Realm experts were assigned to the ten arenas to supervise the battles between the younger generation geniuses in their respective arenas.
Ye Xing looked around, searching for Wei Qingxuan's figure.
Wei Qingxuan was where the Blood Edge Empire martial artists were located. It was located on the same mountain ridge as the True Xuan Region, but it was located in the deepest part of the valley. It was not far from the pavilion where the Venerables were located.
As one of the three high-rank empires, the Blood Edge Empire martial artists were naturally located in the first place.
As for the Black Crow Empire and the Sky Eagle Empire martial artists, they were located opposite the Blood Edge Empire martial artists and very close to the pavilion where the Venerables were located.
Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan were located on the same mountain ridge. Even though Ye Xing could see far, he could not see where Wei Qingxuan was in the sea of people. After all, the distance between them was too great. There were too many people blocking his line of sight.
On the other hand, Ye Xing could see the martial artists on the opposite side of the valley very clearly.
Yang Gang sat beside Ye Xing and said, "Do you see those martial artists in the deepest part of the mountain ridge? They are martial artists from the Black Crow Empire. There are a total of forty young geniuses. The two at the front are Ye Wuyan, wearing red clothes, and Ye Wuxue, wearing white clothes."
Ye Xing followed Yang Gang's instructions and his gaze fell on Ye Wuyan and Ye Wuxue. Ye Wuyan was a man like fire. He wore red clothes and his skin was also red, as if there was a flame burning inside his body.
Ye Wuxue was like a fairy in ice and snow. Except for her black hair, the rest of her body was snow-white. Her snow-white skin and snow-white clothes were spotless.
Seeing Ye Wuxue, Ye Xing could not help but think of Mu Shaoyue. The first time he saw Mu Shaoyue, Mu Shaoyue was also spotless in white clothes.
Although they were separated by nearly ten miles, Ye Wuyan and Ye Wuxue could still sense Ye Xing's gaze and looked back at Ye Xing.
Ye Wuxue glanced at Ye Xing indifferently and then turned her head, ignoring him.
Ye Wuyan's lips curled up, revealing a wicked smile. His eyes sharpened as he glared at Ye Xing.
Hu –
In an instant, Ye Xing felt as if a sea of fire was rushing towards him, wanting to drown him and burn him to ashes.
Ye Wuyan's Fire Grand Momentum had at least reached the Subtle Realm. He could use the Fire Grand Momentum to injure others.
Although this was an illusion, if a martial artist's mind fell into it and thought that they were really in a sea of fire, it was possible that their mind would be burned and their mind would be damaged.
Ye Xing immediately withdrew his gaze. His Fire Grand Momentum was even more profound than Ye Wuyan's. He was only one step away from reaching perfection. Ye Wuyan's Fire Grand Momentum had no effect on Ye Xing.
"Mm?"
Ye Wuyan was surprised.
The martial artist at the end of the valley was obviously from an ordinary lower province. Ye Wuyan found it strange that a martial artist from a lower province could not be suppressed by his Fire Grand Momentum. He sized up Ye Xing again.
Ye Xing's gaze shifted to the martial artists from the Heavenly Eagle Empire next to him.
The Heavenly Eagle Empire also had forty young geniuses participating in the Genius Competition. All of them were mid-level Perfected Masters. Most of them were four-star Perfected Masters, with less than half of them being five-star and six-star Perfected Masters.
However, there were only two people who attracted Ye Xing's attention. One of them was dressed in black and had a slender figure. The other was dressed in blue and had a bright face. They were obviously Ying Changkong and Ying Xiangyang.
One was ranked among the top ten geniuses, and the other was a rising star.
In order to avoid attracting their attention, Ye Xing's gaze only swept past them briefly.
Ye Xing observed a few more junior geniuses from middle-grade empires. A few of them had extremely powerful auras. Clearly, they were either one of the top ten prodigies or a rising star who had the potential to become one of the top ten prodigies.
Ye Xing could clearly see those on the opposite side of the mountain. However, he could not see those on the same mountain as him.
Ye Xing was looking at the pavilion in the depths of the valley when a Venerable flew out from it.
