Chapter 175: Thirteenth Senior Sister, Sixteenth Senior Brother, and Their Impressive Stats!
The cloud boat descended.
It arrived in the ancient city of Wangyue.
Due to the Southern Genius Battle, the entire Tianxuan Prefecture was much livelier than usual.
Even this ancient city was bustling with a dense crowd.
In the sky, occasional streaks of light flashed by, leaving behind strong auras.
Tai Xuan Sect naturally had a residence in the ancient city.
It was purchased long ago and occasionally used by the Secret Message Hall.
The residence was vast and grand.
When they jumped off the cloud boat, many people had already gathered in the residence, wearing Tai Xuan Sect attire, though slightly different from the usual.
“Second Senior Brother.” a voice called out, a man and a woman.
Not far away, two figures approached.
The man looked middle-aged, the woman appeared slightly younger.
“Yes.” The elder nodded, walking over and patting their shoulders.
Then he said to everyone, “Why don’t you greet your Thirteenth Senior Aunt and Sixteenth Senior Uncle?”
Han Luoyu and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.
They didn’t expect there were two elders of peak master level.
They bowed in respect, one by one.
As for Meng Changqing, he observed their stats.

【Race: Human】
【Cultivation: Life and Death Realm, First Level (tentative)】

【Skills: “Emperor Star Manual: Second Volume, Yin-Yang Formula” (Perfection), “Heaven-Splitting Fist Manual: Ultimate Star Stream Chapter” (Perfection)】
“As expected, they are hiding their true cultivation.” Meng Changqing was not surprised.
And the stats of these senior siblings were impressive.
The former had exceptional comprehension, the latter possessed an innate ice body, though damaged.
So strictly speaking, apart from the sect leader, these two had better stats than the other peak masters.
He hadn’t seen such excellent stats before!
Moreover, Meng Changqing noticed something remarkable.
Senior Sister Hua’s Emperor Sword Sutra had twenty-four swords!
Not twenty-three!
The Emperor Sword Sutra, in terms of grade, was initially just a Heaven-level beginner skill, but its potential was limitless and could be developed further.
Or rather, all Heaven-level martial skills provided a foundation, a path to follow.
Senior Sister Hua had developed the twenty-fourth sword!
She had forged her own path!
It showed that even if she hid her strength, she was definitely stronger than Mo Shukuang.
Given her exceptional comprehension, it was normal for her to achieve this.
And Senior Brother Ku practiced the Purple Nourishment Peak’s “Emperor Star Manual” and had perfected the second volume!
“Changqing, come over and greet your senior siblings,” the elder said.
“Yes.” Meng Changqing closed the panel and approached them. “Thirteenth Senior Sister, Sixteenth Senior Brother.”
“Junior Brother’s name is well-known to us, but we were always abroad and couldn’t return to the sect to meet you.” Hua Ciyan looked him up and down, her serene eyes showing undisguised astonishment.
“Already at the second level of the Life and Death Realm, almost catching up to the sect leader when he came here.”
“Senior Sister, you must remember Junior Brother’s age,” Ku Fengchun said with a smile, “In his early twenties and at the Life and Death Realm, he’s much better than the sect leader.”
“True.” Hua Ciyan nodded.
Reaching the Life and Death Realm at such a young age was unimaginable.
At this age, what was her realm?
Dao Creation Realm, probably.
“Senior Sister and Brother, you overpraise me. I’ve just been lucky,” Meng Changqing said modestly.
With so many people watching and being praised by the two, he felt a bit embarrassed.
“Alright, disperse for now. Continue your cultivation!” the elder said to the others.
“Yes!” The disciples left under the guidance of the residence staff, leaving Meng Changqing with the three elders.
“Junior Sister Hua, have you figured out the specifics of this Southern Genius Battle?” the elder asked.
“Yes, more or less,” Hua Ciyan nodded, “Because the opening of the Wild Sea is quite regular, almost once every hundred years, all the major sects and ancient clans have been preparing for this Southern Genius Battle for a long time.
“They have been pouring resources into training disciples over the past ten years.
“So, many young strong talents have emerged.
“Compared to our time, they are even more formidable.”
Hearing this, the elder’s face grew slightly solemn.
“Specifically, how strong are these young geniuses?” he asked.
“Take Tianxuan Prefecture’s five major sects as an example,” Hua Ciyan cleared her throat and began explaining.
A major sect was a force above first-rank sects, second only to the Holy Land in the Central Province.
They had a very long history of inheritance.
Their strength was immense!
Ancient clans were on par with them.
Tianxuan Prefecture had five major sects: Proud Sword Sect, Purple Sun Palace, Wind King Hall, Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion, and Cloud Sea Academy.
“Each major sect has trained at least two disciples in the Life and Death Realm, all under thirty-five.” Hua Ciyan said.
“So many?” The elder’s face changed slightly.
That was much more than in their time.
Back then, there were only a dozen in total.
Now just in Tianxuan Prefecture, there were ten, and Hua Ciyan used the word ‘at least,’ which meant there could be more.
“There’s no choice. The Wild Sea represents a marquis-level opportunity!
“Many in the ninth level of the Life and Death Realm are stuck there because they lack the marquis-level divine items to break through!
“So securing a spot is worth any price.”
Hua Ciyan nodded, “Especially for some major sects that are about to decline, they will be even more desperate.”
