Chapter 253: Group retreat, search for artifacts

"Wang Yuan has been promoted to the second rank!"

"What? Are you kidding?"

"Really! The news has spread like wildfire in the southeast! The top leaders of all the major sects and families have already known about it!"

"How is this possible? How old is Wang Yuan? How many years has it been since he broke through to the third level?"

"It's absolutely true! It's confirmed!"

"Fuck! This is too outrageous. If I remember correctly, Wang Yuan is only 43 years old this year, right?"

"Yes, that's forty-three, not even fifty!"

"A forty-three-year-old second-grade Chaos Body is indeed worthy of being a Chaos Body, the world's number one prodigy!"

"He reached the third level at the age of twenty. Maybe you can understand this now."

"Twenty years old... My goodness, I was only a seventh-rank official when I was twenty, and still a sixth-rank official when I was forty-three..."

"You are only at the fifth rank now!"

"..."

"Where's Wang Nan? How is Wang Nan? What's his reaction? He said he would be promoted to the second rank within 20 years, and now 16 years have passed."

"Wang Nan is in the Red Fire Sect, and no one knows about it."

"It's definitely not a breakthrough yet. It's impossible to surpass the Chaos Body!"

"What about the other geniuses? What are the reactions of the other seven geniuses?"

"I don't know yet, but it's definitely not good and hard to accept."

Wang Yuan was promoted to the second rank, and the whole world was shocked.

Everyone who learned about it was shocked, stunned and dumbfounded.

The information was too horrifying to be believed.

A second-rank official at the age of forty-three is unprecedented!

But the source of the news is true and has been verified by multiple parties.

It makes people believe it.

This is hard for the world to accept.

The higher you advance in cultivation, the harder it becomes. From the fourth grade to the third grade, and from the third grade to the second grade, there are natural barriers that block many extremely talented and brilliant people.

It's not just about time and hard work.

At the beginning, when Wang Nan said that he would be promoted to the second rank within 20 years, no one believed him. They all thought that Wang Nan was arrogant and delusional and that it would be impossible for him to achieve his goal.

Later, there was support, but it was just to join in the fun and provide encouragement and motivation.

But no one really believed it.

Later, Dongfang Xu joined in, and other geniuses joined in, and it was basically the same for them, mainly to motivate themselves and promote each other.

Rather than actually achieving it within twenty years.

Not to mention within twenty years, even within fifty years would be incredible.

Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of people who have achieved the second rank within a hundred years.

Wang Nan can't do it, Dongfang Xu can't do it, and even the number one prodigy Wang Yuan is unlikely to do it.

However, today, Wang Yuan did it, at the age of only forty-three.

Even in ancient times, when chaos was just beginning and innate spiritual energy was everywhere, achieving the second level at the age of forty-three should have been an extremely incredible thing.

Calculating the time carefully, Wang Yuan only spent thirty years in cultivation, and it took him twenty-three years to break through from the third level to the second level.

The ancient and shining gold is incredible!

The timing was just right for Wang Nan’s promotion and vows.

Wang Nan has not made any moves at the moment, so can he complete it within four years?
What was Dongfang Xu’s reaction?
What was Duan Jiuxiao’s reaction?
What was the reaction of the other geniuses?
……

Dongfang Xu is in seclusion!

Duan Jiuxiao is also in seclusion!
Zheng Honglian, Han Feiyu, He Lingchuan, Blue Flower Fairy and others also disappeared without a trace.

Who dares to come out at a time like this?
That would be uncomfortable.

If someone asks you when you will break through to the second level, what will you say?
I don’t know, I’m not sure, at least another twenty years…

The gap between him and Wang Yuan instantly widened, and they were no longer on the same level.

Can the geniuses be willing to accept this?

Or retreat, or practice asceticism, or...

In short, don't appear in front of people.

Other geniuses were also affected, and most of them were encouraged to actively practice in seclusion.

They don’t ask for the second level, just break through to the third level first.

Wait until you reach the third level before thinking about the second level.

Moreover, the world has changed and spiritual energy is constantly dissipating. If you don't practice now, when will you practice more and improve your strength?

The sooner you improve it, the safer you will be when facing crises in the future.

This is also a disguised way of competing for resources with the terrifying existence in the underworld and weakening its strength.

Therefore, all parties are working hard.

The powerful men from all the major forces slowed down their plundering actions, leaving the work to the people below, who practiced hard on their own.

Therefore, the world fell into a period of tranquility again, an eerily peaceful environment.

Only those below the fifth rank are still running around, actively taking action, and even more intensely.

…Wang Yuan broke through to the second level and did not act rashly.

He is still accumulating strength.

I have to go one step further so that I can easily suppress other masters in future battles without burning my essence.

There are also his subordinates, such as the ten great followers, the snake people, and those who have defected to him, who are still in a rapid growth period.

The key point is that he now has too few third-grade subordinates, making it difficult for him to suppress and control the world.

In addition, there is the artifact.

Wang Yuan's original body and his three clones only have one powerful artifact, the God-killing Spear, which can sweep away all enemies. This is obviously not enough.

If we can find one or two more supreme artifacts, then we can truly rest easy.

Although the Jingzhou Divine Cauldron can be given to him, Xia Yuwei also needs it.

Daxia may not be willing to give the other divine tripods.

Moreover, the Great Xia Divine Cauldron is mainly used for suppression, and it also has to suppress the earth and space.

Still a little bit behind in combat.

So, if possible, Wang Yuan hopes to find one or two more supreme artifacts.

Wang Yuan asked his men to search various books for clues about the ancient battlefield and the supreme artifact.

Wang Yuan even asked about the God-killing Spear.

The God-killing Spear gave Wang Yuan several places, and the Five Elements clones, the Sun clone and the Moon clone were all dispatched.

One clone, one place.

One of the places was exactly to the west of the extreme west, where Wang Nan searched for the remaining half of the golden spear.

It’s a pity that Wang Nan only found a few fragments after searching for half a year, and the majority of it is still missing.

Either it collapsed far away, or it was taken away by someone else.

If the collapse is far away, it all depends on luck.

If someone gets away...

This is an ancient battlefield, a place of death, filled with all kinds of strange powers and laws. People below the third rank basically won't come here.

It’s not easy for anyone to come here.

And who knows how many years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically.

Who knows where it fell?

It depends on luck.

Wang Yuan continued to look for other places and other artifacts.

……

Jiaoyan Island.

"Ang~~"

Suddenly, a dragon roar shook the void and roared throughout the entire island.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

A snake man flew out of the house with a look of horror on his face.

In the eastern sky, I saw a huge real dragon hundreds of feet long, winding and flying up and down.

"Real dragon!"

"Real dragon!"

"The real dragon is coming!"

Jiaoyan Island was in a panic.

All the snake people panicked, even those at the fourth rank.

After all, the snake people have been dominated by the dragon people for tens of thousands of years, and fear is engraved in their bones.

How can we not be afraid now that a real dragon has come to our door?
"~~"

A smug smile appeared in the eyes of the True Dragon Ao Xing.

"Where is Chaos Body Wang Yuan? Our clan's Saint Ancestor invites you!"

"Om~~"

The void of Jiaoyan Island trembled, and a huge five-element Dharma image of a thousand feet appeared, looking down at the True Dragon Ao Xing:
"Your clan's holy ancestor? I wonder why you are looking for me?"

"you……"

Ao Xing looked at the Five Elements Dharma Image with some annoyance.

This is intentional pressure on him, but...

"You'll know when you get there. Just follow me."

Ao Xing said, his tone full of arrogance and superiority.

Even when facing Wang Yuan, the second-grade chaotic body (five elements clone).

Because the dragon race has always been the most powerful race, whether in ancient times or now, they are far superior to the human race.

"Whoosh-"

Wang Yuan’s five elements clone appeared and landed on Ao Xing.

"Let's go."
