Chapter 338: Can an Epiphany be continued?

"Holy crap, that's incredible!"

"Forgive my poor judgment just now. I really thought this little brother was just a simpleton who only knew how to chop wood. Turns out he's a hidden master!"

"That's the Shen Family's Young Master, a startling talent whose fame spread far and wide at a young age, and he's received intensive training from a Holy Land. Yet he actually lost to a wood-chopping cleaver?"

"Could it be that heroes really don't care about their origins?"

"Brothers, Langya Academy definitely has something going for it. Everyone coming out of there is more impressive than the last!"

"I freaking knew it. The Young Lord of the Wang Family never fights a battle he's not sure of. He first bet a fortune on Langya Academy, then agreed to broadcast the trial process live. How could he possibly be aiming to embarrass himself?"

"Those big shots from the Holy Lands probably still thought they were going to see the Young Lord of the Wang Family make a fool of himself."

"Didn't expect that, did you? Got slapped in the face, right? I see an old man over there whose face has turned black; he's probably fuming!"

"Langya Academy is incredible!"

…In the livestream room, countless Cultivators were boiling with excitement.

Since ancient times, Holy Lands have been synonymous with being aloof, invincible, noble, and so on.

The Prodigies coming out of the Holy Lands all live with their noses in the air, viewing all living beings as ants, as if even their farts were the world's finest.

And the common people were also used to being humble before the Holy Lands.

But now.

This situation has changed.

A youth born of a woodcutter, simply because he joined Langya Academy, used the wood-chopping cleaver in his hand to crush a Holy Land Prodigy.

One slash!

Just one slash!

He chopped the Shen Family's Young Master as if he were bamboo!

"Incredible!"

"Xiao Dao is amazing, hahaha!"

"Well killed, well killed!"

"…"

Many Langya students who had been eliminated also raised their arms and cheered, extremely excited.

It was heartening, simply too heartening.

Just as the Young Lord had said earlier.

Holy Land Disciples are not invincible.

So what if they came from ordinary backgrounds?

So what if they didn't have precious resources?

Were they destined to live such pathetic lives?

Bullshit!

Facing the wild joy of the Langya students.

The Prodigies of other surrounding forces subconsciously curled their lips, but they couldn't find any words to refute. They only hummed secretly, clenching their fists, feeling very unconvinced in their hearts.

But more than that, it was disbelief.

How could this be?

How did Shen Yi lose?

…"This boy is truly extraordinary. It's just a pity that his state of Epiphany was interrupted. Otherwise, his future achievements would probably be immeasurable!"

In the Kunlun Holy Land, an Elder sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this.

The voices amidst the clouds and mist suddenly grew much quieter.

Indeed.

Although Shen Yi was defeated.

Xiao Dao's state of Epiphany was indeed interrupted. This was a precious Opportunity that many people would not encounter once in their lifetime.

Overall, Xiao Dao suffered a huge loss.

It was simply not worth the gain.

Although Shen Yi lost, he could be considered to have dragged down a Prodigy who originally had a bright future.

Thinking of this.

The faces of the Elders from Absolute Beginning, Universe, and other forces relaxed slightly.

Unexpectedly.

Just as this thought emerged in the minds of the powerhouses.

A scene that made their jaws drop occurred… In the Vajra Bamboo Forest.

Xiao Dao carefully wiped his wood-chopping cleaver and continued to chop wood.

As he chopped.

His state of mind, which had been slightly rippled by the appearance of Shen Yi and the others, quickly calmed down, and his eyes became peaceful again.

That leisurely, natural, almost Dao-like aura emerged once more.

The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth gathered towards him.

Above his head, it condensed into a Spiritual Qi vortex.

His body began to glow.

The wood-chopping cleaver in his hand was also covered with a layer of shimmering light.

"He, he, he…"

Outside, an Elder of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land stared with wide eyes, unable to speak clearly, "He actually entered an Epiphany again?"

Qiu He's expression changed even more drastically, feeling as if his outlook on life had collapsed.

"What kind of monster is this child? To be able to enter a state of Epiphany twice in such a short period of time?"

"Is it really the protection of the Heavenly Dao?"

"My god, I've cultivated for over eight hundred years and have never seen anyone whose Epiphany state was interrupted and could still continue it!"

"A Prodigy, he's simply a Prodigy!"

"Langya Academy could actually produce such a figure!"

"…"

In the hall of the Kunlun Holy Land.

A chorus of exclamations also rang out.

"Truly inconceivable!"

"This might be fate; the Heavenly Dao destined him to have an Epiphany today!"

"Such a Genius actually wandered among the common folk and was found by Langya Academy!"

"Perhaps this is the Karma in the dark; the Young Lord of the Wang Family widely practiced benevolence and righteousness to receive such a blessing!"

Murong Qiushui did not speak.

Instead, she turned her head to look at Wang Mu in the distant hall.

He had woken up from his slumber, but there was no expression of surprise or anything of the sort on his face. Instead, he calmly glanced at the screen, turned over, yawned, and continued his nap.

That feeling.

It was as if all of this was already within his expectations.

But how could that be possible?

"This brat is even harder to see through than his mother was back then!" Murong Qiushui sighed to herself… "It seems this is that Wang Mu's trump card!"

Qiu He glanced at the direction of the Northern Dark Holy Land from afar and said in a low voice.

The others nodded secretly.

No wonder the Young Lord of the Wang Family dared to take all their moves; it turned out he had such confidence.

"We indeed underestimated that group of lowly Cultivators, but this is merely good luck…"

Qiu He said in a deep voice.

It was indeed rare for an ordinary Prodigy from the outside world to rise to the level of being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Holy Land Prodigy, but it hadn't been unheard of over the years.

This was not the most important thing.

What was important was that if Wang Mu's trump card was only this much, it was far from enough if he wanted to have the last laugh.

"If Xiao Yi takes action, this person will surely lose!"

"No need to make a fuss; Luo Yan taking action would be enough!"

"Or Wan Peng could step forward; he has long had no rivals in the Qi Refining Realm, and defeating those in the Foundation Establishment realm across levels is also common for him!"

"…"

Several people spoke one after another, mentioning multiple names, all of whom were the most outstanding figures of this generation in the Holy Lands.

They could be ranked in the top five.

In recent years, Prodigies have been emerging everywhere, as if there were signs of a coming golden age.

In the past, someone like Shen Yi could have stood out among the newly entered Disciples of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.

But not now.

He could only rank in the top ten, and every one ahead of him was much stronger than him.

As for the Universe Holy Land, it was the same.

Xiao Dao's performance was certainly brilliant.

But they still firmly believed that this person had only reached a level comparable to those Holy Land Prodigies in terms of talent, but cultivation was not just about talent.

No matter what, the Cultivation Techniques taught in a place like Langya Academy could not possibly compare to a Holy Land.

When it really came down to showing their true capabilities.

Xiao Dao would lose very quickly… Meanwhile.

In the images in the sky, the scenes switched one after another, and new Prodigies constantly appeared.

By now, fifteen days had passed since the start of the Grotto-heaven.

The contraction of the Void Realm was also half-complete.

The Void Realm in the outer areas of the various Secret Realms had all collapsed, and even the inner areas had collapsed by half.

Those who didn't have time to leave were all pulled out by the Kunlun Mirror and counted as eliminated.

Those who were still in the Secret Realms today.

Were all the best among them.
