Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Young Kings Assemble
"Why are there so many people here?"
Having not found any rare herbs, Ji Chen arrived at a certain square in the northern part of the city.
Looking around, he noticed that this place was significantly livelier than other areas, with most of the passersby being young faces.
Mo Cheng was also taken aback, then said, "I just remembered, it’s said that ’Dao Body’ Gu Hao is also in Linxian City now. In recent days, he comes here every evening to enjoy himself, and many people have come to witness his presence."
"Gu Hao?" Ji Chen asked curiously.
Mo Cheng replied, "The Dao Body of the Gu Family, don’t you know?"
"He’s one of the few individuals with a unique physique in contemporary Beiyou, the Dao Body. It first appeared about sixty thousand years ago. Back then, the Gu Family was just a small clan, but because a Dao Body emerged and later became an emperor, the Desolate Ancient Gu Family gained its current status."
This is a Desolate Ancient Emperor Race. Sixty thousand years ago, an Emperor Level figure was born, allowing the Gu Family to flourish for a time, reigning over the world then.
After sixty thousand years, another Dao Body has emerged in the Gu Family, and many say that the future Gu Hao has a significant chance of becoming an emperor, one of the young kings of contemporary Beiyou, daring to be compared with all the Saint Heirs in the world.
"Even though the Dao Body is powerful, shaking the ages, I say in this era of declining dharma, with the thin Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it’s not so easy for him to become an emperor." Mo Cheng stated.
Ji Chen couldn’t help but say, "Back in the day, the Dao Body of the Gu Family became an emperor, showing this kind of physique must be extraordinary. Now, after sixty thousand years, the Dao Body reappears in the world, and it should not be underestimated."
"What’s so special about Dao Bodies, Celestial Bodies? My sister doesn’t have any special physique, yet her cultivation is no different from those so-called Saint Heirs and Saintesses."
"The difference in apparent cultivation may not be vast, but people with special physiques gain significant advantages in battles, especially in life-and-death situations. The advantages conferred by special physiques tend to be even greater." Ji Chen stated.
"The world says that a Dao Body can dominate in the same realm, but I think, in actual combat, the advantages brought by physique are just one aspect. Factors like Spirit Veins, Emperor Scripture, and Holy Techniques greatly influence the outcome. You, Ji, with your Nine Spirit Veins, could be called unmatched throughout time. In the same realm, a Dao Body might not be your opponent."
Mo Cheng was not just flattering.
Indeed, in certain aspects, physique can provide significant help.
However, the outcome is ultimately determined by Spirit Veins, Emperor Scripture, and the Holy Technique practiced.
"It’s already this hour, why hasn’t the Dao Body appeared? Could it be he’s not coming tonight?"
In the square, Ji Chen and Mo Cheng strolled around, and their ears caught the conversations of others.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the distant sky, as if a battle was taking place.
Brilliant divine light soared into the sky, and terrifying energy ripples continuously spread, frightening people.
Looking over, he saw two young men fighting as they approached, from far to near, arriving above the square within just two breaths.
Both were surrounded by divine light, with extraordinary auras, like children of the heavens, dazzling and eye-catching.
"It’s Dao Body Gu Hao! He really came!"
"Who is this who can fight the Dao Body and not fall behind?"
In the square, many people were astonished, with their eyes filled with an unparalleled heat.
Dao Body Gu Hao is one of the few young kings of contemporary Beiyou; such a physique once fascinated an era. To contend equally with him and not fall behind shows that the other person must not be an unknown figure.
"Dao Inference Saint Heir Li Yiran!"
Someone exclaimed, seemingly recognizing the person fighting Gu Hao.
To become a Saint Heir of a Sacred Land, such a person must be a dragon among men, destined to be one of the lords of the world in the future.
No wonder he can fight Gu Hao; it turns out the opponent is a Saint Heir.
"They say the ’Infinite Scripture’ of Dao Inference is one of the most powerful Ancient Saint Techniques of contemporary Beiyou, witnessing it tonight proves it is not just a name."
High above, the two had stopped fighting, with Gu Hao wearing a faint smile as he spoke.
He was surrounded by divine light, merging with Dao, with all laws originating from him.
This is the Dao Body, one of the rare, super strong physiques throughout the ages in Beiyou.
"The reputation of the Dao Body of the Gu Family is well deserved." Li Yiran slightly cupped his hands.
As Dao Inference’s Saint Heir, one of the strongest young kings of Beiyou, there are few people in the world today whom he would treat seriously, but a Dao Body is certainly one of them.
Soon, under the eyes of the crowd, the two descended from the high sky.
Many young people gathered there surged forward to meet them.
Whether Gu Hao or Li Yiran, one is the Dao Body of the Gu Family, the other the Dao Inference Saint Heir, and now they appear together, naturally becoming the focal point of the entire scene in an instant.
These are the young kings renowned worldwide, the future lords of Beiyou, and countless people desire to establish good relations with them.
"Have their cultivation levels already reached above the Celestial Essence Realm?" Looking at the two young kings being surrounded by the crowd, Ji Chen couldn’t help but speak.
Mo Cheng replied, "Saint Child-Level figures, their cultivation is naturally above the Celestial Essence Realm, but as to which level of the Celestial Essence Realm, that is unknown."
"Hasn’t Brother Ye been observing the battle for a long time? Shouldn’t he reveal himself now?"
At this moment, Dao Inference Saint Heir suddenly spoke from the crowd.
Everyone froze at his words.
Soon, a laugh was heard, and then, in the near distance, a young figure slowly approached through the air; it was Ye Yunge.
"I greet Brother Li, and Brother Gu."
Ye Yunge slowly descended to the square, cupping his hands towards the two.
As the Young Master of the Ye Family, with the bloodline of Emperor Ye awakened in him, a descendant of a Saint, he is also one of the future lords of Beiyou.
His appearance naturally sparked discussions among those present.
"This night has truly not been in vain, to see the simultaneous appearance of three young kings here!"
Beiyou is vast and has countless prodigies, but those who can truly be called kings are counted on one hand.
Whether it’s Ye Yunge, Li Yiran, or Gu Hao, all three are among them.
In the past, even seeing one of them was quite difficult, but now all three can be seen at the same time.
"Oh?"
While Ye Yunge, Li Yiran, and Gu Hao were chatting, they seemed to have sensed something, and as they turned their gaze, they discovered that Ji Chen was also there.
Without hesitation, Ye Yunge immediately approached and, cupping his hands, greeted Ji Chen, "Brother Ji, you truly have arrived in Linxian City as well."
