Chapter 79: My Son, a Talent Beyond the Heavens

[Host can pay 10,000 Secret Points to inquire about Yu Qingxian's strength, cultivation techniques and divine arts.]

"Never mind, consider it unsaid." Li Yun smirked, placing the list in front of him into a jade slip.

He casually tossed it to Bei Chenheng, and said, "This is the information you wanted."

"Huh?"

Bei Chenheng took the jade slip, momentarily not grasping the situation.

Did he really get it?

Bei Chenheng felt a bit dazed.

He was too familiar with this scene.

The last time, he also received a jade slip. And then, he found the Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Method.

This time, with the senior's hand, it definitely wouldn't be a small opportunity. If released to the outside world, it would inevitably cause a huge sensation!

Thinking of this, Bei Chenheng's divine sense directly infiltrated the jade slip to examine its contents.

[Heavenly Genius Ranking]

Seeing these three words, Bei Chenheng frowned.

What does this mean?

Then, he continued reading, quickly coming across the next line.

[1st: Yu Qingxian.]

"Hmm?" Bei Chenheng frowned, forming some speculations in his mind. As he read through line by line, his suspicions gradually confirmed.

Indeed, this was just a simple ranking of geniuses, likely based on strength.

How could this be possible? Most geniuses hadn't even met, let alone fought each other.

More importantly, what's with this first place? Even the illustrious Great Yin God Emperor, to his knowledge, hadn't heard of a young genius with the surname Yu in this world.

Some of the names below made more sense, at least belonging to individuals from Imperial clans who cultivated Imperial techniques. If their innate talent was decent and coupled with guidance from ancestors, their strength would undoubtedly surpass ordinary geniuses.

Considering this was from the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Bei Chenheng couldn't help but lend it some credibility. After all, the Pavilion Master could deduce Heavenly Secrets; if he said someone was powerful, then they were.

"My son, Bei Chenxuan, has the bearing of a Great Saint. After my guidance, even if he can't compete with the scions of Imperial clans, he shouldn't have a problem ranking in the top thirty."

Bei Chenheng was somewhat comforted.

He knew the weight of the Great Yin Dynasty, lacking Imperial scriptures and Imperial weapons. If his son could surpass the scions of Imperial clans, that would be odd.

Unable to surpass them, but easily defeating the others was not an issue.

As he continued reading, reaching the thirty-first position, Bei Chenheng started to question life.

[31st Place: Feng Nishang. Affiliation: None.]

"What the hell?" Bei Chenheng's mental state exploded.

Affiliation: None.

This was crystal clear; this person should be a lone cultivator. And his son, Bei Chenxuan, couldn't defeat even a lone cultivator?

With the accumulated strength of the Great Yin Dynasty over a million years, was it possible for a lone cultivator to overshadow them?

Suppressing his emotional turmoil, he continued reading.

[32nd Place: Radiant Light Holy Son. Affiliation: Radiant Light Holy Land.]

Upon seeing this name, Bei Chenheng felt relieved.

Even the mighty Radiant Light Holy Land was only in the thirty-second position?

He thought it would be higher, considering the dominance the Radiant Light Holy Son should have.

However, this ranking hinted that the Radiant Light Holy Land might not be as formidable as imagined.

"But, Senior, putting a lone cultivator above the Radiant Light Holy Son, is it to spite the Radiant Light Holy Land? Bei Chenheng murmured.

The enmity between the Radiant Light Holy Land and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was no secret in the cultivation world.

Many were aware of it.

Now, with the senior releasing this list, intentionally placing a lone cultivator above the Radiant Light Holy Son, the intention was clear.

"Senior, your perspective is too narrow!" Bei Chenheng believed he had grasped the senior's intentions, sighing in his heart.

By doing this, wasn't he offending dozens of other Holy Sons behind the Radiant Light Holy Son?

"Never mind. Senior has grace upon me. What does it matter if my son's ranking is slightly lower? As long as my son can battle Feng Nishang and emerge victorious, he will naturally secure the thirty-first position on the genius list."

Being able to overshadow the Radiant Light Holy Land was quite a satisfying feeling, even if it was just a thought.

"My son's talent is commendable. Even if he can't break into the top thirty, being in the top fifty shouldn't be an issue." Bei Chenheng continued his scrutiny.

Gradually, his pupils dilated, his breath quickened, sweeping through the top fifty without finding the characters 'Bei Chen.'

Could it be beyond fifty?

Bei Chenheng was in disbelief.

His Great Yin Dynasty, such a vast power, couldn't even make it into the top fifty. If this spread, wouldn't it be a laughingstock?

[99th Place: Chen…]

[100th Place: Yan Qingshuang. Affiliation: Great Luo Sword Sect]

Finally, he spotted a representative from the Great Luo Sword Sect at the bottom, but for his Great Yin Dynasty, there was none.

"It's impossible!" Bei Chenheng raised his head, expressing his incredulity. "Senior, is there a mistake in this list? I didn't see my son's name!

"My son possesses exceptional talent, with the bearing of a Great Saint. How could he not make it into the top one hundred in this realm? There must be something wrong."

Li Yun glanced sympathetically at Bei Chenheng and said softly, "From the moment you uttered those words, your son had already lost. There are people who truly boasts about their child having the bearing of a Great Emperor from the get-go… How can your son, with the bearing of a Great Saint, compare? There's a difference of several galaxies in between."
