Jade Balance Sacred Land
Clouds rose like a colorful tide, radiant with auspicious energy. Multicolored mists drifted, creating a divine atmosphere.
Before a cliff, a cool breeze swept past.
A man stood at the edge, graceful as a pine, his face flawless like polished jade. With sharp eyebrows and star-like eyes, he faced the wind, his robes fluttering gently, exuding the ethereal presence of an otherworldly immortal.
Not far away, several disciples whispered among themselves.
“The Saint Son's aura is growing stronger. I feel like I can't even breathe standing this close. Has he already broken through to the Heavenly Transformation Realm?”
One younger disciple asked curiously.
“Heavenly Transformation Realm? That's nothing!” a young woman exclaimed, her eyes brimming with admiration. “The Saint Son's talent is unparalleled across the ages. He's destined to become an Emperor!”
“Exactly!”
Another young woman chimed in, her voice crisp and clear. “The Saint Son is the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Becoming an Emperor in this life is just the beginning. Once he ascends, he'll suppress all foes across the world!”
“The Saint Son is not only incredibly talented but also unmatched in appearance. Such a figure only appears once in ten thousand years!”
“With the Saint Son leading Jade Balance Sacred Land, it might not even take a thousand years for us to surpass Yao Guang Sacred Land. Ten thousand years from now, once the Saint Son becomes an Emperor, he'll surely conquer the Forbidden Zone and dominate the heavens and myriad realms!”
As the disciples chatted excitedly, a younger disciple hurried over.
“Saint Son, the Sect Master has sent a message for you!”
“Oh?”
The Saint Son, who had been standing like an immovable mountain, turned around. That moment of elegance left everyone in awe. With a faint smile, he asked nonchalantly:
“What's the message from the Sect Master?”
“It's about the Genius Ranking.”
The young disciple produced a jade slip and respectfully presented it. “The Sect Master mentioned that this information comes from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower and is likely 80% accurate.”
“The Heavenly Mechanism Tower?”
The Jade Balance Saint Son took the jade slip and scanned its contents with his spiritual sense. Instantly, he understood the purpose of the Genius Ranking.
Starting from the first name, he read to the very end but didn't see his own name.
His expression darkened.
“The Heavenly Mechanism Tower is overrated.”
He casually tossed the jade slip aside.
For someone as illustrious as the Jade Balance Saint Son to not be listed, this ranking seemed utterly unreliable to him. It was as if any random person could be included.
Nearby, a disciple picked up the jade slip and glanced at the rankings. His face turned equally grim as he growled, “Saint Son, this is an insult! When has Jade Balance Sacred Land ever suffered such humiliation?”
“Challenge Yu Qingxian for me,” the Saint Son said coldly.
Since the Heavenly Mechanism Tower had no regard for Jade Balance Sacred Land, he saw no reason to give them face. If they ranked Yu Qingxian as number one, he would defeat her himself and see what the tower had to say.
“But Saint Son, Yu Qingxian is too mysterious. We know nothing about her identity or whereabouts!”
“Then challenge Ye Chen.”
The Saint Son's tone remained calm. If they couldn't find the first-ranked, the second would suffice. Besides, Ye Chen's background as a member of the Ye Imperial Clan meant his strength wouldn't be lacking. A draw would be enough to equate himself with second place, forcing the Heavenly Mechanism Tower to reconsider.
“I'll deliver the challenge to the Ye Clan immediately!”
The disciple's eyes sparkled with excitement as he dashed away. To him, their Saint Son was synonymous with invincibility. Since his debut, he had never been defeated.
Not even Ye Chen, who held second place, could compare!
As Jade Balance Sacred Land dispatched its challenge, the news from Great Wasteland City spread rapidly across the world. Reactions varied—some were furious, others delighted, and many were bewildered.
Ye Imperial Clan
In a secluded chamber, a man sat cross-legged, his gaze sharp as blades. His long black hair draped over his chest and back, and his imposing figure radiated an aura of dominance.
He glanced at the contents of a jade slip and murmured, “I didn't expect to rank second on the Genius Ranking. Interesting.”
“And who is this first-ranked person?”
“Does a clan named ‘Yu' even exist?”
Ye Chen searched his memory but found no trace of a Great Emperor with the surname Yu. It seemed unlikely that Yu Qingxian was a descendant of one.
“Master, the Young Master requests an audience.”
A voice came from outside.
“Enter.”
Ye Chen's tone was calm.
A man stepped inside and bowed deeply. “Greetings, Young Master.”
“What is it?” Ye Chen raised his head slightly, his piercing gaze like two sharp swords that made it impossible to meet his eyes.
“The Jade Balance Saint Son has sent a challenge. Do you wish to respond?” The man held out a jade slip, asking respectfully.
“Oh?”
Ye Chen's interest was piqued. Glancing at the Genius Ranking, a faint smirk appeared on his lips.
“A nameless challenger dares to face me?”
“Should I reject on your behalf?”
“No need.”
Ye Chen rose, his aura erupting like an eternal battle god. Brilliant light radiated from his body, pure and flawless, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
“If he wants a fight, then I shall fight!”
“Why would I fear him?”
