C153 Heart as Clear as a Mirror
"That's right. He is Lee Yihong, a genius of the third summit of the Hidden Dao Palace."
Jiang Mang said excitedly, but his face was full of pride. It was not a big deal to tell these people about Lee Yihong's true identity.
Instead, he felt lucky that he knew Lee Yihong.
Now that Lee Yihong was on the Prodigy Roll, many people would be able to find out more about him immediately.
How old was he? What cultivation base he had, where he had come from, what he liked, he had to be dug out.
Of course, some mysterious information had never been leaked. Even the most powerful figures wouldn't be able to find out about it in a short period of time.
The academy was filled with people from all walks of life. Some came from the Humble Class, some came from the aristocratic families, some came from the powerful families, some came from the influential families of Hunyuan Dynasty, and some even sent their disciples to the academy for further studies.
Especially those who came from the influential families. The influential families in Hunyuan Dynasty knew how to win over people's hearts and befriend some geniuses. They even formed their own factions in the academy. They had a profound plan and formed their own forces. This was a common occurrence.
The geniuses of the Dao Palace of the Second and Third Peaks were the targets of some factions. The geniuses on the prodigy roll were the people that countless factions were paying close attention to.
Once someone was on the Prodigy Roll, the various factions would try their best to rope them in.
"I knew he was Lee Yihong, but he doesn't look like a veteran inner sect disciple."
"That's right,i think he should be in his fifties or sixties, maybe even less than fifty."
"Less than fifty years old? How is that possible? The number of people on the Prodigy Roll who are less than fifty years old can be counted. At most, there are no more than thirty, and all of them are peerless geniuses."
"Impossible? Hmph, geniuses are meant to break the impossible!"
"Rumor has it that the earliest geniuses in our academy's prodigy roll class were no less than a hundred years old. However, as the sect developed, each generation was stronger than the last. Now, there are no less than three hundred geniuses who are able to enter the prodigy roll within a hundred years of age."
"There are twenty-seven people below the age of fifty!"
.....。
A group of people started discussing amongst themselves inside and outside the Genius Palace.
Jiang Mang didn't reveal any other information about Lee Yihong. Instead, he looked at Lee Yihong's name, which was ranked 3,000th in the Heaven and Earth rankings, then turned around and left.
It seemed like he was going to accept a mission from the Contribution Palace, earn some contribution points, and then challenge the Prodigy Roll.
......。
"BOOM!"
Lee Yihong, on the other hand, had returned to his cave abode on the third peak. He sat cross-legged on the jade lotus throne and consumed a God Nourishing Pill.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, a surge of essence energy rippled within his body, suppressing and shaking his mind. Lee Yihong hurriedly circulated his true qi, suppressing the restlessness in his dantian and the chaos in his blood and Qi.
Lee Xinyi's finger was enough to kill Lee Yihong.
"Eldest Sister's cultivation base is truly terrifying. Not to mention me, even Mr Dao would die from that finger."
After calming down the chaos in his body, Lee Yihong's eyes sparkled. His Late Period of Unshakeable Stage cultivation base erupted without any restraint. Terrifying Qi surged within the cave, causing the surrounding formation to tremble.
An ordinary Mid Period of Unshakeable Stage or Late Period of Unshakeable Stage would be suppressed by Lee Yihong's Qi. Even a Peak Unshakeable Stage would be suppressed by Lee Yihong's Qi. Even an Unshakeable Stage would be shocked by Lee Yihong's current Qi.
This was a terrifying aura that could kill an Unshakeable Stage warrior.
Although he was only a Late Period of Unshakeable Stage warrior.
"Power of Heaven and Earth!"
"Apart from strengthening my body and refining my True Qi,i also need to comprehend the power of Heaven and Earth."
"Once I comprehend the energy of heaven and earth,i can easily achieve the true unity of heaven and earth with just a single experience of being one with the world, allowing me to step into the Nirvana Stage!"
"Boom ~!"
Lee Yihong retracted his Qi, and instantly returned to his refined and indifferent temperament. A bright light circulated in his eyes.
He didn't have a single trace of confusion or doubt in his heart. He could clearly feel his own cultivation path. His heart was like a clear mirror. This was also a sign that he had made great progress.
There was no doubt in his heart. It was just that his heart and mind were powerful and unobstructed. Cultivating the martial path would also yield twice the result with half the effort.
"However, with my current cultivation,i will have to pay a heavy price to kill an ordinary extreme Unshakeable Stage expert. If I were to fight against a villain like him who has fought over a hundred battles without any scruples, my mortality rate would still be higher than his."
"And Baizhan is only ranked 2800 on the Prodigy Roll."
Lee Yihong's eyes were sharp as he analyzed all kinds of things. "That shouldn't be possible. The gap between us can't be that big. The only possibility is that Baizhan's cultivation base and combat strength has only improved recently, but he was killed by Mr Dao and me before he could challenge the higher ranking of the prodigy roll."
"If that's the case, based on Hundred Battles's combat strength, he should be able to enter the top 2,500."
"However, that's not necessarily the case. Just like Mr Hsu Shan... These senior inner circle disciples who have reached the limit of the Unshakeable Stage have all cultivated for a few hundred years, or even nearly 300 years old. Their lifespan is almost up, and each of them has a profound cultivation base. All of them are figures who have comprehended peak grade martial skills!"
"They have even comprehended the terror of a multiplication level martial skill."
Lee Yihong's heart was filled with respect. For someone who could be ranked on the prodigy roll among the 100,000 inner sect disciples, the higher the rank, the more terrifying it would be. Even the genius who was closest to the core disciples, Lee Yihong could not imagine how strong he was.
"After this battle, if I fight with all my strength,i should be able to advance by two or three ranks. Once I break through to the Peak Unshakeable Stage, it will be easy for me to advance by a dozen or twenty ranks."
"If I can comprehend the energy of heaven and earth, that will be the time for me to truly become stronger!"
Lee Yihong's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. Once he comprehended the power of heaven and earth, he believed that he would definitely be able to enter the top two thousand. This was his confidence in himself, and also his understanding of the Unshakeable Stage.
Although he had been cultivating bitterly, Lee Yihong had never thought of himself as a genius. However, he knew that he had the ability to challenge those who were stronger than him.
Now, he was even a Late Period of Unshakeable Stage warrior, and he was able to kill those who were at the limit of the Unshakeable Stage.
If he were to meet Cen Yuan alone in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, although Lee Yihong wasn't confident that he could kill him, he would still have the courage to fight him, and perhaps even win.
Unless it was similar to the limit of Unshakeable Stage on the Prodigy Roll, Lee Yihong had the confidence to kill him.
"There is no ink or brush here, so I can't rely on practicing calligraphy to quickly digest the battle experience and the terror of Big Sister's finger. I can only rely on my strong spirit to digest it."
Lee Yihong secretly sighed at the profoundness of Wu Jianlin's sword technique, "Four Seasons Absolute Sword," and "Sun Moon Broken Sword." Although it was a sword technique that was completely different from his own style, it had actually reached the peak of Minute Subtlety, and was worth comprehending.
The power of his elder sister's finger was even more difficult to comprehend. It was no longer just the power of heaven and earth, but a power that surpassed the understanding of Unshakeable Stage.
A Nirvana Stage was a person who had truly stepped into the door of cultivation. He had a lifespan of a thousand years, and in the outside world, he was an existence that could suppress an entire county.
A true expert above ten million people.
"Eldest Sister is actually so powerful. It's very easy for her to return to the Laucheng, but she hasn't returned all these years. It seems like no one knows that Eldest Sister is from the Lee family in the Laucheng."
Lee Yihong was puzzled. In the end, he shook his head slightly and closed his eyes.
The only way to know more was to become stronger. Perhaps only by becoming a core disciple could one come into contact with Eldest Sister.
.....。
"What!? What did you say? Lee Yihong was ranked on the Prodigy Roll!"
On the third peak of the Dao Palace, two beautiful women and three youths stood beside a stone door to a secret chamber. In front of a cave abode carved with the words "603," three men and two women crowded around Yih Xiaotian, who had a sharp gaze.
This caused Yih Xiaotian to reveal an expression of shock and disbelief.
