With voice transmission charms and voice transmission arrays, the speed at which news spread was extremely fast.
Especially the Luo Divine Hall trials, it could be said to be the focus of attention. It was a major event in the Luo clan, so before the Luo Divine Hall trials disciples returned, the results of the trials had already spread throughout the royal capital at an astonishing speed.
Yi Yun had defeated Princess White Fox in the Fey Refining Rock array, and he had even crushed the Shadow Twins, Wufeng, as well as the Supremacy's disciple, Jian Zhu. Just this news was enough to stir the entire Luo clan royal capital!
Although they also knew that Yi Yun did not participate in any of the Luo Divine Hall trials in the following eleven years, it did not matter. Just the one time at the seven-year trials was enough to make Yi Yun famous in the royal capital.
Previously, Ran Xueyi and Luo Mo were already influential figures in the upper echelons of the royal capital. However, Luo Mo and Ran Xueyi were nothing when compared to reclusive geniuses like Jian Zhu and the Shadow Twins.
As for Yi Yun, he had exceeded all of them, including Princess White Fox, a publicly recognized genius. Yi Yun was slightly younger than Princess White Fox, and with his commoner background, as well as his unparalleled improvement speed, many youths in the royal capital, especially those from ordinary backgrounds, had become Yi Yun's admirers.
The title of first place at the seven-year Luo Divine Hall trials made the titles of the royal capital's four great young masters pale in comparison.
...
After the results of the Luo Divine Hall trials came out, numerous factions paid attention to the ranking. After all, in the past sixty years, the entire 196 states of the Luo clan, including the royal capital, had only produced a few dozen people.
Large factions had their own schemes, while small factions had their own schemes. Anyone who was ranked on the Luo Divine Hall trials, even if they were ranked in the dozens, would become a hot figure in the entire Luo clan!
Many factions in the royal capital wanted to rope in these people. Other than a few that no one could rope in, most of the other disciples would choose to stay in the royal capital.
As for the other 196 states, even the large family clans in those states would only get a share of the soup.
As for the people ranked in the top ten, there was no need to even think about them. They were basically exclusive to the few ancient family clans of the Luo clan, or even the Luo clan royal family.
...
When Yi Yun returned to the royal capital, he disembarked the spirit cruiser. Accompanying him was Luo Fengling.
Luo Fengling eventually failed to leave her name on the Luo Divine Hall trials. She did not even enter the Primordial Space, and could only study the Ancient Fey Stones in the periphery. Compared to a Fey God Chaos Stone, it was naturally much worse.
The outcome of failing to leave her name behind was that Luo Fengling had to return to the Fire Cloud State. She needed to stay in the royal capital for a few days, and Yi Yun and Luo Fengling were warriors from the Fire Cloud State. The two of them had a friendly relationship, so they naturally stayed together. After all, Yi Yun's viscount residence occupied a large area, so it was entirely possible for Luo Fengling to stay temporarily.
Thinking back to eighteen years ago, the Fire Cloud State's spirit cruiser had saved the heavily injured Yi Yun in the void. That scene was truly like a dream. Who would have thought that the youth would be able to come this far?
Yi Yun's viscount residence was built on a mountain. When Yi Yun returned to his viscount residence, he saw that there were many spirit beasts resting on the mountain behind the viscount residence. There were more than ten spirit boats docked there.
"Hmm? This is … "
Yi Yun was taken aback when he saw these spirit beasts and spirit boats. However, he saw a maidservant from the viscount residence come forward to welcome Yi Yun back as the family head.
After asking the maidservant, he learned that the spirit beasts and spirit boats in the back mountain were the mounts of ambassadors from large family clans. They were here to visit Yi Yun.
Although they knew that Yi Yun was Empress Xuan's subordinate, no faction had the guts to poach Empress Xuan. Even if they wanted to, they would not be able to do so. However, it was still necessary for them to build a good relationship with Yi Yun. By sending him valuable gifts, it was to express their congratulations on Yi Yun's results at the Luo Divine Hall trials.
After understanding the reason, Yi Yun was also surprised. He never expected that being first in the seventh year of the Luo Divine Hall trials would have such great influence.
It was not because Yi Yun was arrogant towards these visitors, but because he did not have the time to entertain them one by one. Thankfully, Empress Xuan had brought servants along when she sent him to the viscount residence, so he could get them to do the honors.
Luo Fengling was deeply envious of this. She felt that she would probably never have such a scene in her lifetime.
At this moment, a voice transmission charm lit up in front of Yi Yun. The purplish-red beam of light came from Luo Huo 'er.
"Little Yun, a few days ago, a few important guests came to the Luo clan's royal palace. They seem to be discussing some matters."
"Tomorrow, Father is summoning the best of the younger generation who are participating in the trials to the royal palace. Among them will be my brother, Crimson Firmament, Princess White Fox, as well as that male vixen named Bai Yueqing!"
Luo Huo 'er's voice turned excited towards the end. Clearly, this lass was looking forward to meeting Bai Yueqing. This was a great opportunity to smack Bai Yueqing in the face, so how could she miss it? There was also Princess White Fox's trip with Yi Yun! Luo Huo 'er could not wait to see Crimson Firmament's expression.
"Oh? His Majesty, Emperor Luo, is summoning us? "
Yi Yun was surprised. Emperor Luo was the leader of the Luo clan's politics, so it was not easy to meet him. Even the top cultivators at the Luo Divine Hall trials that happened once every sixty years might not be personally received by Emperor Luo.
It was unknown what sort of person the legendary Emperor Luo was … Even people like Empress Luo and Empress Xuan were worried about the gains and losses of Emperor Luo. After all, the successor to the throne was decided by Emperor Luo.
After Yi Yun replied to Luo Huo 'er and helped Luo Fengling settle down, he returned to his bedroom to have a good rest.
It had been a long time since he had a good night's sleep like a mortal. In the Primordial Space, he basically spent his time meditating and meditating. He did not relax for even a moment, so the loneliness and solitude was something many people found unbearable.
And on the path of martial arts, there were many such long periods of reclusive cultivation. People without a strong will would find it difficult to guarantee that they would wholeheartedly pursue martial arts.
In eighteen years, Yi Yun's cultivation level had risen to the Heaven Ascension perfection realm in one fell swoop. The next step from the Heaven Ascension realm was the Dao Manifestation realm.
By condensing his own Dao, he would let the Heaven Ascension Dao Tree bear Dao fruits.
To top geniuses, it was not difficult to raise their cultivation level by a small realm. It was even very casual. Some top geniuses would spend decades in Dao enlightenment. After consolidating their Dao foundations, they could raise their cultivation level from the early stages of a realm to the peak in a few short years.
To geniuses, the most difficult thing was to raise their cultivation level by a large realm. It was not that they could not raise it, but it was not easy to raise it perfectly.
Especially from the Heaven Ascension realm to the Dao Manifestation realm, the condensation of a Dao fruit was a major event for all Heaven Ascension realm geniuses!
The more types of Dao insights a genius gained, the more Dao fruits they condensed!
Most warriors could only condense one Dao fruit when they stepped into the Dao Manifestation realm. After all, young geniuses had limited time. It was already very difficult to gain insight into a single law, so if they tried to gain too much insight, they might end up biting off more than they could chew, wasting their time and potential.
Only gaining insight into one law was the safest method. It could guarantee a smooth Dao Manifestation. Even the geniuses who had the qualifications to participate in the Luo Divine Hall trials mostly did so.
However, there were an extremely small number of people who could condense two Dao fruits. These people had extraordinary perceptivity, and they could multitask at a young age. Cultivating two laws at the same time was more than twice the difficulty of just cultivating one law.
As for those who could condense three or four Dao fruits, they were nearly extinct.
And even if there were such people, they might not be positive examples.
The number of Dao fruits condensed was not the most important. What was most important was the quality!
If it was a genius like Princess White Fox, it would not be a problem for her to condense five Dao fruits as long as she learned more laws.
However, Princess White Fox obviously would not do so. Five low-grade Dao fruits were not even as valuable as a high-grade Dao fruit!
Dao fruits were split into nine grades. Every additional grade would result in an additional leaf appearing on the fruit stem.
A one-leaf Dao fruit was the worst Dao fruit. It was basically stuck at the Dao Manifestation realm for the rest of one's life, with no hope of improving.
With every additional leaf, a martial artist's potential would increase greatly!
When it came to six-leaf Dao fruits, seven-leaf Dao fruits were already rare.
Eight-leaf Dao fruits were the standard of peerless geniuses in sects. As for nine-leaf Dao fruits, that was nearly a legend. After all, a number of Supremacy-level mighty figures only had eight-leaf Dao fruits when they stepped into the Dao Manifestation realm!
Of course, although they had eight-leaf Dao fruits, they would have their own opportunities in the future. The number of leaves in a Dao fruit did not completely determine a person's future achievements. There were even rumors that Divine Lords who controlled Empyrean Lord Royal Seals had eight-leaf Dao fruits. However, they had reached a height that even nine-leaf Dao fruit geniuses could not reach.
No one could tell what the future would hold!
Now, Yi Yun was at the Heaven Ascension perfection realm. He was already making preparations to condense his Dao fruit. Of course, this still required quite a bit of time.
Many geniuses did not dare to take that step. It was because the Dao Manifestation realm was of great importance. To a large extent, it determined how great their future achievements would be.
Therefore, they would often spend a century or two to consolidate their foundations and study the laws. Only then would they step into the Dao Manifestation realm and accept the judgment of the laws!
However, if one stepped into the Dao Manifestation realm too late, even if the Dao fruit's quality was increased, it would be a waste of potential. It was a choice that made it difficult to make up one's mind!
