I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1301: The People of Genius
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Astonishing!
The two subordinates gaped in utter disbelief, and even Yuwen Qianyue's gaze carried a flicker of surprise!
No one could have foreseen that An Shixuan, a skilled cultivator, would suffer broken limbs at another's hands. This haughty young master from a powerful clan had been thoroughly defeated?
The event defied all predictions.
Even more bizarre, a fierce figure like An Shixuan had been defeated by a fresh disciple. It was utterly inconceivable.
When did the outer sect gain such a powerful newcomer?
Yuwen Qianyue's delicate brows knit together as doubt filled her, prompting her to inquire once more.
"Explain the situation in detail."
The two subordinates stood stunned, their faces etched with shock as they hung on every word.
The disciple in the hall, hands clasped in a bow, appeared anxious, his voice shaky while he described the events he'd witnessed."Reporting to the Esteemed One!"
"From what numerous disciples have shared, a mortal-star cultivator has lately settled in the Luoxia Celestial Manor. An Shixuan desired that immortal manor and sought to claim it. Following their argument, a fight broke out. An Shixuan suffered broken limbs from this individual and has retreated to his dwelling, gravely wounded!"
A mortal-star cultivator?
With that origin, and as a new arrival, he still managed to dominate An Shixuan?
What heaven-defying skill and battle strength—a truly exceptional prodigy!
Upon receiving the report, a keen spark ignited in Yuwen Qianyue's lovely eyes.
The other pair, though, stared in amazement, particularly at the mention of "Luoxia Celestial Manor." A suspicion arose in their minds, leading them to ask cautiously,
"Could it be..."
"What is the name of that mortal-star cultivator...?"
The bowed disciple replied without delay, his voice echoing across the grand hall!
"Per the records, that individual is called Yi Feng!"
The moment the name dropped, the two fixed their eyes in stunned silence, their faces blending joy and astonishment, emotions plainly bubbling with thrill!
"Yi Feng?!"
"It's him, just as we thought!"
Catching their thrilled exclamations and vibrant expressions, Yuwen Qianyue experienced a profound jolt, her face shifting to mild unease.
She had underestimated him...
Though she couldn't entirely fault herself for it, she had dismissed that mortal-star cultivator Yi Feng far too readily.
This was a superior talent well beyond An Shixuan. Due to a brief bias, she had almost allowed him to escape her notice—a regret that would linger.
Recalling how the pair had urged her repeatedly, only for her to remain unmoved, Yuwen Qianyue grew more uneasy, the embarrassment deepening.
After a short pause in quiet, she pressed the question anew.
"Is the one who wounded An Shixuan really the mortal-star cultivator Yi Feng?"
The messenger saluted with joined hands, his voice firm.
"Reporting to the Esteemed One, yes, it is Yi Feng. This is completely accurate and has circulated across the immortal manors."
Verified multiple times, without any mistake.
Yi Feng was truly an extraordinary genius!
The two auditors felt justified inwardly. Solely from deference to Yuwen Qianyue's position and poise did they hold back their joy and remain silent.
Now, Yuwen Qianyue harbored no further skepticism and offered a soft confirmation.
"This Esteemed One understands the situation now."
"Conflicts between disciples during practice can result in injuries. No cause for excessive worry. Let this incident conclude here."
Her composed statement bestowed a great boon upon Yi Feng. By favoring him and quelling the issue, Yuwen Qianyue implicitly endorsed his genius status and conceded her earlier error.
Utterances from key figures often hide layers of intent, beyond the reach of common folk.
The pair standing by in silence, however, were far from ordinary. They grasped the underlying message at once and bowed promptly, hearts swelling with pride for Yi Feng and quiet glee at securing such a talent for the island.
"The Esteemed One is wise!"
The messenger retreated prudently, silent unless addressed.
With everyone else gone.
Observing the two, poised in respect yet brimming with unspoken thoughts, Yuwen Qianyue discerned it all and spoke lightly.
"No need for further words."
"Given Yi Feng's remarkable ability, this Esteemed One won't overlook it. He will earn a place on the Heavenly Ranking. May this mortal-star cultivator grasp our intentions and rise to greatness ahead."
At her words, the two saluted with evident delight, eyes shining with gratitude.
"Thank you, Esteemed One!"
"We shall relay this to Yi Feng and ensure he cherishes this elevation and grace!"
How invaluable was a Heavenly Ranking slot? Even amid this prodigy-filled island, it remained an elusive dream, especially for a mortal-star cultivator to join its ranks. Inclusion meant dedicated nurturing, vast resources, and elite privileges.
This groundbreaking occurrence would stun endless disciples.
Such generous advancement filled even them with honor and profound joy for Yi Feng.
Within mere hours.
Before the immense statue ringed by immortal isles, a hundred-zhang golden list took shape. Top prodigies' names emerged sequentially, drawing bursts of awe and praise.
While most had foreseen the selections and found few shocks, beholding this splendor still inspired wonder among all cultivators.
In that instant, they weren't just seeing rising stars; they might be viewing the dawn of a supreme powerhouse!
Through the ages, countless legendary figures launched their legendary paths across eras by debuting on the Heavenly Ranking!
With major prodigies already inscribed, the crowd's buzz faded to a hushed envy, as they stood transfixed, eyes on the celestial list above.
Abruptly, the calm air turned utterly still.
Upon the radiant golden scroll, an utterly unknown name surfaced—Yi Feng!
In a flash, nearby thousands of cultivators displayed shock, though outer sect few bulged their eyes in disbelief!
After a tense hush, cries of amazement and skepticism exploded near the Heavenly Ranking!
"Yi Feng?!"
"Who might this be? This young master has no knowledge of him!"
"Fellow Daoist, perhaps you're unaware. He's a recent outer sect addition. Rumor says he comes from a mortal star, so few know him yet."
"A mortal-star cultivator has actually ascended to the Heavenly Ranking?!"
The outbursts of wonder lasted mere moments before rumors and fervent chatter unleashed a storm of awe!
"Hah, why couldn't a mortal-star cultivator claim a Heavenly Ranking spot? Fellow Daoist Yi trounced An Shixuan earlier, shattering his limbs! With that prowess, doesn't he deserve a place?!"
"Is that so?"
"Outer sect witnesses abound for this. It's buzzed across today—how could it be untrue! An Shixuan's absence seals it!"
"Hisss..."
"A simple mortal-star cultivator bested An Shixuan. This youth's aptitude is downright fearsome!"
"Who claims mortal stars yield no geniuses!"
"Fellow Daoist Yi is unstoppable! His freakish talent earns this honor!"
...
Following the intense exchanges, Yi Feng's renown dominated the Heavenly Ranking, his prestige surpassing all for the moment!
As darkness descended, fervent talks rippled through the immortal manors. The mortal-star prodigy's legend had spread like wildfire unaided!
Even the typically reserved and modest mortal-star cultivators lifted their chins in pride this evening, toasting freely in merriment, chatting boisterously. The night echoed with vitality as Snowflake Island erupted in historic revelry.
Solely one opulent immortal isle dwelling stayed eerily silent.
An Shixuan, healing on his bed, learned the facts and flushed with alternating fury and pallor. Viewing the Heavenly Ranking projection from his aides, he promptly vomited a gush of blood!
"Pfft!"
"Yi Feng! You struck me by surprise and snatched my Heavenly Ranking chance. I, An Shixuan, won't forget you!"
