Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 497 - 496: Foreign Visitors, Seven-Colored Peacock Race
Hmm...?
Upon receiving the message, Ji Haoyuan felt a bit surprised.
But as he read through the contents of the message, he was immediately taken aback.
Creatures from beyond the domain, known as the Seven-Colored Peacock Race, were coming to visit their Tianchen Cultivation World.
Ji Haoyuan had long known that outside their Tianchen Cultivation World, there were various races and creatures, mastering a myriad of legacies, some no less than their own cultivation systems.
Among them, this Seven-Colored Peacock Race was one whose legacy was in no way inferior to that of their Tianchen Cultivation World.
Moreover, it was incredibly ancient and time-honored.
Legend had it that deep within their tribe’s territory, there existed an Immortal Treasure surpassing the Tier Eight Mahayana, serving as the foundation of their tribe.
In the past.
Because the two races had jointly resisted the demonic forces beyond the domain, they had forged a strong friendship.
To this day, it has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Currently, the Seven-Colored Peacock Race has already been in their Central Earth Divine Continent for decades.
They have successively visited various Sacred Lands and Holy Sects.
Meanwhile, below the level of Celestial Monarch, there have been numerous exchanges and competitions between the Seven-Colored Peacock Race and their cultivators.
From what can be seen, the Seven-Colored Peacock Race truly lives up to being a race with an incredibly ancient and time-honored legacy.
Moreover, they possess extraordinary gifts, being innately skilled in various Divine Techniques.
In the past decades of exchanges with cultivators from various Sacred Lands, they have mostly been victorious.
On the contrary, cultivators from various Sacred Lands, at the same level, find it rare to defeat opponents from the Seven-Colored Peacock Race without resorting to Magical Treasures or other external means.
Especially as the cultivation level increases, this trend of defeat becomes more evident.
This is mainly because the Seven-Colored Peacock Race develops even stronger Innate Divine Techniques as they advance.
The cultivators of each Sacred Land, especially the chiefs of each Daoist lineage and Grotto Heaven.
Although powerful and skilled in techniques and Divine Techniques as well.
Undeniably, in non-life-and-death battles, they hold no advantage and are even at a disadvantage.
Currently, the Seven-Colored Peacock Race has already successively visited the Moral Saint Sect, Taichong Sacred Land, Celestial Profound Sacred Land, Dongyue Holy Sect, and several other Holy Sects and Sacred Lands, heading towards their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.
On a large Flying Ship adorned with endless shimmering light, hanging with numerous agates, glazed items, pearls, and gems.
Hundreds of beautifully dressed young men and women, surrounded by seven-colored Spirit Light, with rings like halos shimmering behind their heads, were engaged in intense discussions.
"To be honest, over the past millennia, the younger generations of the major Sacred Lands in the Tianchen Cultivation Realm have been somewhat disappointing to me."
"Although there are some individuals with decent strength and very powerful Daoist Skills and Divine Techniques.
But such individuals are still in the minority.
Most have not met my expectations."
"That’s right. I wonder if this visit to the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land will bring any surprises.
It’s said that this Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land once lost its Sacred Land status but was revived by a founding ancestor who managed to ascend to Mahayana, allowing it to regain its Sacred Land status."
"I think the outcome of this visit to the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land might be even less promising than the previous ones.
I suggest we don’t harbor too high expectations."
...
While speaking, hundreds of young men and women from the Seven-Colored Peacock Race had already arrived at the gates of the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with boundless divine brilliance.
Wisps of colored light covered the ground, extending far into the distance.
Several Celestial Monarchs personally appeared to greet and exchange pleasantries with the Celestial Monarch-level elders on that Flying Ship from the Seven-Colored Peacock Race.
As for the Mahayana-level visit.
Even before they reached the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, they had already entered the sanctum of the three Mahayana ancestors.
On Ji Haoyuan’s side.
After reading the message, he set it aside temporarily.
At present, he had more important matters to attend to.
That was to unify the various methods he currently mastered.
At the same time, he needed to preliminarily refine the mystic treasure Taicang Seal given to him by his master, Taixu Bai.
Such a task would be almost impossible for ordinary Void Refining Cultivators without the acceptance of the Mystic Treasure itself.
However, for Ji Haoyuan, it wasn’t much of a problem.
In less than half a year.
Ji Haoyuan had already integrated and unified the various methods he cultivated.
He had also successfully preliminarily refined the Taicang Seal.
From then on, he had grasped a trace of true power at the seventh level in his hands.
Even facing a Celestial Monarch, he would have a sliver of chance to escape.
And when he finally emerged from seclusion, the first thing he heard about was the visit of the Seven-Colored Peacock Race to their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land.
As well as the friendly exchanges and competitions between their disciples and the young cultivators from their sect.
At this time, the steward Miao Zixi had already informed Ji Haoyuan of all the detailed information regarding the visit of the Seven-Colored Peacock Race to their Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land and their competitive interactions.
It must be said that the strength of the Seven-Colored Peacock Race was indeed formidable.
Not only were they naturally proficient in the Five Elements, but they also innately commanded Seven-Colored Divine Light.
Any magic or Divine Technique related to the Five Elements would have its power reduced by thirty percent in their presence.
As a result, most of the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land disciples ended up losing in the exchanges.
Even several Grotto Heaven Chiefs that he was familiar with had suffered defeat because of this.
Only Gu Yuechan, who had ventured into that newly born medium world with him previously and obtained considerable opportunity, managed to hold her own against the Seven-Colored Peacock Race in exchanges.
Yet, despite this, as the host, the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land still felt a loss of face.
"Senior Brother..."
At this point, Miao Zixi looked at Ji Haoyuan, appearing somewhat hesitant to speak.
Ji Haoyuan noticed her unease and immediately smiled softly, saying:
"Zixi, if there’s something on your mind, just speak directly.
You have nothing to worry about in front of me."
Upon hearing this, Miao Zixi finally found the courage to say to Ji Haoyuan:
"According to some information I’ve gathered, some members of the Seven-Colored Peacock Race have been saying behind the scenes that our Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land disciples are not deserving of the status of Sacred Land disciples.
That our strength and Daoist cultivation are not commensurate with our reputation."
"Is there more?"
Upon hearing these words, the soft smile on Ji Haoyuan’s face gradually faded.
"There’s more..."
Miao Zixi hesitated for a moment but ultimately continued to say to Ji Haoyuan:
"Some members of the Seven-Colored Peacock Race specifically mentioned you, expressing a desire to have a competitive exchange with you.
The reason is that other Sacred Land people spoke highly of your performance in that newly born world, praising you lavishly."
"Hmm? Is that so?"
Ji Haoyuan was slightly taken aback but quickly understood what was going on.
He couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.
This was nothing but an attempt to set him up through exaggerated praise.
"If I’m not mistaken, it should be people from the Moral Saint Sect who spread such comments, right?"
Ji Haoyuan looked at Miao Zixi and asked.
