People originally guessed that Yi Yun's age was at least a thousand years old. That was already young enough. To be below four hundred and ninety years old meant that he was not much older than Yan Tiancong.
However, the difference in strength between the two was like night and day. Yan Tiancong was already three hundred years old. Even if he was given another one thousand and nine hundred years, he would not dare say that he could reach Yi Yun's level, much less if he was given another one hundred and ninety years!
Upon realizing this, Yan Tiancong felt an extreme sense of defeat. Jian Xiaoshuang was a peerless genius of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect. He did not think much of her, but Yi Yun was an itinerant cultivator. Was he that much weaker?
Just as these thoughts flashed through Yan Tiancong's mind, Yi Yun had already arrived in front of the second screen of light. It was still a faint energy screen that obstructed Yi Yun's path. Yi Yun did not even change his posture. His body was still wrapped in sword flashes as he passed straight through it!
The second screen of light, bone age of four hundred and twenty years!
Yan Tiancong was immediately dumbfounded.
He had passed the second screen as well? How old was he?
And the following scene left Yan Tiancong's breathing stagnant …
The third screen of light, bone age of three hundred and fifty years.
Yi Yun passed through it again. His speed was not fast, but he did not even draw his sword.
It looked like Yi Yun was a lot slower than Jian Xiaoshuang, but he gave people the feeling that he was taking a leisurely stroll. Was he really crossing Dragon Gate Platform?
Following that, the fourth screen …
Everyone looked at Yi Yun in a daze as their mouths gaped. One door meant seventy years. Every door he passed reduced Yi Yun's age by seventy years.
Could it be that Yi Yun's claim that he had cultivated for less than a hundred years was true?
What sort of freak was he to be able to easily kill Dao Palace realm warriors before he was a hundred years old?
The fifth screen!
The sixth screen!
The limit of bone age had been reduced to a hundred and forty years!
Yi Yun passed through it without any suspense. His body did not slow down at all, and he continued walking at the same pace. This was enough to prove that Yi Yun's words were true.
He was really someone from the younger generation!
A peerless genius!
This thought flashed through the minds of the native warriors of Jade Luster City. It was already beyond their imaginations to have such strength at such a young age.
Jian Xiaoshuang came from a large sect after all. As for Yi Yun, he appeared to be an itinerant warrior. He had personally said that he did not belong to a sect and that he only had a master. It was a miracle that he had come this far.
While people were marveling, they saw that Yi Yun did not stop in his tracks.
To pass the seventh dragon gate, one had to be below the age of seventy. The seventh dragon gate was the most difficult. Previously, Yi Yun had said that he was less than a hundred years old. Logically speaking, he should be in his nineties, which was why he was described as less than a hundred years old.
As such, Yi Yun naturally could not pass the seventh dragon gate.
And previously, Jian Xiaoshuang had not heard the rules of Dragon Gate Platform clearly. She had charged deep into the Dragon Gate Platform. Now, she needed to come out and fight Yi Yun on the sixth level's platform.
People were planning on informing Jian Xiaoshuang to come out but now, Yi Yun had already arrived in front of the seventh screen of light.
What happened next made everyone feel as if time had slowed down.
Without a sound, Yi Yun passed through it …
His front foot stepped forward, and his back foot stepped out. It was as if he had passed through a layer of water, and he landed lightly on the platform on the seventh floor, not stirring up a speck of dust.
How was this possible?
Everyone present, especially the native warriors of Jade Luster City, seemed petrified as they looked at Yi Yun in a daze.
The Seventh Dragon Gate required a skeletal age of seventy and below!
Yi Yun was not even seventy years old?
What a joke. He had clearly said that he had cultivated for less than a hundred years. Yet, Yi Yun was being humble when he said less than a hundred years!?
He was not even seventy years old. Subtracting the few years he had not cultivated since birth, he might have only cultivated for sixty years!
In that case, he was not only about the same age as Jian Xiaoshuang, but they were of the same age!
What sort of concept was it to slay a Dao Palace realm warrior in sixty years of cultivation?
Yan Tiancong had nearly slumped to the ground. He had actually provoked such a malignant star!
One had to know that Yi Yun's present strength was not something the Heaven Amplification Trading Company could deal with. Even if Yi Yun's strength was slightly weaker, they would not dare to easily attack him. After all, if such a genius could not be killed, his terrifying rate of growth would leave them in despair.
There was no need for a hundred years or ten years. In a few years, his cultivation level could increase by two or three subrealms. His strength would increase severalfold, and it was extremely possible for him to wipe out the entire Heaven Amplification Trading Company!
When that happened, the Seven Star Auction House could only play it safe. Although the Seven Star Auction House in Jade Luster City had a faction backing it, why would that faction pay attention to a place like Jade Luster City?
Thinking back to how Ji Shuiyan had detained members of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company and how the Heaven Amplification Trading Company had nearly stormed to their doorstep, Yan Tiancong felt a lingering fear. Thankfully, they had submitted or the consequences would have been disastrous.
The warriors of Jade Luster City were afraid of Yi Yun's might, but the warriors of the outside world were different. They did not know of Yi Yun's reputation in Jade Luster City, nor did they know what he had done. In fact, even if they did know, they would not think too much of it. After all, the warriors of Jade Luster City were nothing but pugilists in their eyes. Even the Elders of the various large trading companies were weaklings.
After the Dao Manifestation realm, the difference in quality between a one-leaf Dao fruit and a nine-leaf Dao fruit was huge. Therefore, the difference in strength between warriors of the same realm was like night and day. It was also possible for a late-stage Dao Manifestation realm warrior from a large sect to kill a Dao Palace realm warrior with a sloppy foundation.
"Xiaoshuang, I originally wanted to use your sparring with him to confirm something. I never expected Yi Yun to be such a genius. That's great. You have met your match and can fight to your heart's content. It will also benefit your improvement."
Jian Xiaoshuang stood on Dragon Gate Platform as Jian Wufeng's Yuan Qi voice transmission rang in her ears.
"Master, you say that I met his match?" Jian Xiaoshuang glanced at Yi Yun and grunted lightly, as though she was unconvinced.
Ever since Jian Xiaoshuang began practicing martial arts, she had been victorious in every battle. Apart from the seniors, not only did the younger generation not pose a threat to her, they were also the ones she frequently challenged.
The senior brothers of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect were afraid of Jian Xiaoshuang's beatings.
They were older than Jian Xiaoshuang and their cultivation levels were one or two subrealms higher than her. Furthermore, they were men. What sort of feeling was it to be defeated by a girl?
Now, no disciple of the same age dared to spar with Jian Xiaoshuang. They would run faster than a rabbit the moment they saw her. As such, no one in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect dared to provoke Jian Xiaoshuang. This also resulted in her arrogant and spoiled personality.
But under such circumstances, Jian Xiaoshuang had heard her master say that she was about to encounter a powerful enemy. His words even implied that she should learn from him and improve together. How could this not stir her fighting spirit?
She wanted to prove that she was the strongest.
