Chương 248: Leaving the Continent

The next day, Hua Yao stood outside the building and called them all out. Long Feng left his room while stretching his arms and walked out with Li Yue'er. There were six youths in total, including Long Feng and Li Yue'er. Gongsun Hao, Lan yanyue, Long Feng, Li Yue'er, Ming Dao and Li Hu. It appeared that Ming Dao and Li Hu had challenged and defeated the other two rank two spirit realm warriors, taking their spots. Long Feng also observed that everyone was stronger than they were a month ago.

Gongsun Hao had reached rank four spirit realm, which meant his combat power could be equivalent to rank six or it could be lower after his breakthrough. Lan yanyue had reached rank three spirit realm. Ming Dao and Li Hu had both reached rank four spirit realm, but they clearly hadn't had enough time to consolidate their foundations. But that wasn't an issue as long as they didn't force another breakthrough soon. Long Feng looked around and was baffled when he couldn't find Chu Haoyun, the Soul Cultivator youth.

Why wouldn't he come? Did he want to forfeit the hundred continent meeting? Hua Yao glanced at the six of them and nodded"It's good that you all came. Although we're missing one person, he still has a short time to arrive before we leave. Otherwise we'll just have to grant his spot to someone else" Hua Yao said. To be honest, he was also surprised that someone didn't come.

After all in this continent, unless someone was dead or severely injured, then no genius would reject this golden opportunity to change their destinies.

"Could something have happened to him?" Long Feng also had the same thought, but then he rejected this thought. He didn't believe that Chu Haoyun would face some great danger. There was more to that youth than it meets the eye. Long Feng was more willing to believe that he simply wasn't interested in the hundred continent meeting. If so, what brought him to participate in the selection competition? Hua Yao's curious eyes paused on Long Feng"Kid, what did you do?

Your foundation is completely unstable" he asked, feeling worried in his heart. The Yihua continent already didn't have any hope with these geniuses, but this Long Feng whom they believed to be one of the strongest had gone ahead and ruined his foundation by rushing his breakthroughs. That was what Hua Yao and everyone else thought upon sensing Long Feng's chaotic aura. This was exactly a sign of an unstable cultivation.

And then this was further reinforced by the fact that his cultivation had surged from rank seven Yang realm to rank one spirit realm. Although it wasn't a particularly impossible feat to jump three levels in two months, there was also the gap between the Yang and spirit realm to include.

Thus, it seemed clear to them that Long Feng had abandoned consolidating his foundation and simply rushed through his breakthroughs, probably with external treasures or herbs, which caused his foundation to become unstable after consuming too much. And an unstable foundation naturally meant he was much weaker than before. In fact, they expected that he might even find it hard to defeat another rank one spirit realm warrior. This caused the other four geniuses to instinctively look down on him and ignore him.

Even Hua Yao was feeling regretful for Long Feng. The person in question simply smiled without bothering about their thoughts"Senior, I merely sustained some injuries. They're really not significant" Long Feng replied. Hua Yao sighed and shook his head, giving up on Long Feng already. It was too late to say they would change him for someone else so he could as well go and embarrass himself in the hundred continent meeting. Li Yue'er watched their reaction and couldn't help but feel amused. Unstable cultivation?

That might be true. But his combat power was so ridiculous that even Hua Yao probably wouldn't be able to face him in a fight. If that was considered unstable and weak, then what would happen if he somehow stabilized his cultivation?

"Follow me. The three from my Yihua clan are already waiting" Hua Yao didn't ponder too much about the soul cultivator youth or Long Feng's issue and began to lead them deeper into the Yihua clan. The six youths waled behind him, following him to the very center of the Yihua clan. Several minutes later, they stopped before a raised platform that was large enough to hold dozens of people at the same time. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

This platform was filled with so many complicated runes that just looking at it for too long would make one to feel dizzy. And a dense soul power seeped out of the runes, making it clear that this was the work of a very powerful soul cultivator. As for what it could do, that remained to be seen. Seated or standing around the platform were several figures. The three Yihua clan's youths were standing quietly by the side, and seated there were four figures.

Long Feng recognized one of them as Hua Tianyu, the clan chief of the Hua clan and Hua Liuli's father. Hua Tianyu similarly spotted Long Feng and couldn't hide the shock in his heart.

"This kid… he's not dead?" He frowned deeply at this. They had predicted that Young master Liu Shan would kill Long Feng to calm his fury and then let the Yihua clan off. But if this Long Feng was still alive, that meant Young master Liu Shan probably hadn't tried to kill him. Hua Tianyu recalled what happened just a few weeks ago. Young master Liu Shan had been reclining lazily as he always did when suddenly, his expression changed.

He muttered something like a name and then said it was impossible, then he left the Yihua clan without wasting a single second, his two maids following behind him. Since then, Hua Tianyu hadn't heard from him. Now that Long Feng was still alive and kicking, then it was possible that the young master had forgotten all about that day and didn't bother about it. If so, then he and the first elder had been too worried about this. With this thought, he regained his calm and moved his gaze from Long Feng.

Long Feng had clearly sensed Hua Tianyu's gaze on him and the flicker of shock that passed through the latter's eyes was seen by him.

"It seems even the Hua clan already took me for dead. Seeing me alive must be quite a shocker" Long Feng grinned. The other three people were two middle aged men and one old man. Of the two middle aged men, one of them was the Misty Mountain's Master and the other one was unfamiliar to Long Feng. But it was quite possible that he could be the Clan Chief of the Yi clan. His cultivation was at the same level as Hua Tianyu's, at the very limit of the spirit realm.

The old man on the other hand, gave off no aura whatsoever. His eyes were closed and his breathing was so faint it was almost non-existent. But this man made Long Feng's pupils to shrink a bit"Imperial realm master!" He exclaimed in his heart. His battle intent nearly surged out as he was filled with a powerful urge to challenge this old man. But he forcefully suppressed this instinct and sighed. Now wasn't the time to be reckless.

The three Yihua clan's youths moved over and joined the group of six, making the top ten to be missing just one more person. The three youths had also gotten stronger than before. The elder brother had reached rank five spirit realm! That was a very high cultivation level for a low ranked continent's genius. The second young man with the weird technique called the Exploding character Skill had reached rank four spirit realm and the final lady was at that same level as well.

It appeared that the five great sects and the Yihua clan had poured their sect's resources into these geniuses within the last month to raise their strengths.

"They aren't complete?" Hua Tianyu asked with raised eyebrows. This wasn't expected. Hua Yao nodded, "That's right Clan Chief. The soul cultivator is missing."

"That's unusual. Something must've held the kid. He could be on his way. We'll wait for a while" The person who Long Feng thought was the Yi clan chief spoke up. They didn't have the time to pick someone's better than the soul cultivator youth in a short time. They could only replace him with someone weaker. So they would rather wait for a while than to lower the already pathetic chance of their continent.

"We'll wait for an hour. If he doesn't come within an hour, replace him and we'll head over to the Thunder Sky Overlord Continent" The old Imperial realm master suddenly said, his voice quieting everyone around.

"Yes Great Elder!" Hua Tianyu, The Yi clan chief and Hua Yao all nodded respectfully. The Misty Mountain's Master remained seated calmly though without a single change in his expression. When Long Feng focused on him, he figured out something surprising.

"He's not a spirit realm warrior… He's also an imperial master!" He heard rumors that the Misty Mountain was very mysterious and could actually compare to the Yihua clan but they chose to remain in hiding. Now, he could confirm that there was some truth in that rumor. At least, the Misty Mountain was only beneath the Yihua clan with their Mountain Master being an Imperial master.

"Senior Hua, what is this Thunder Sky Overlord Continent?" Long Feng turned to Hua Yao and asked curiously. Li Yue'er also listened closely. Unlike Gongsun Hao, Lan yanyue and the other two, they didn't come from a powerful force. This they didn't have the knowledge that the other four geniuses have. From the word overload continent, they could tell that this place was certainly one of the few Overlord continents in the continent zone. But they had no idea about it.

"The thunder sky overlord continent is one of the seven overlord continents that exist. The seven overlord continents all have power that can rival normal four star forces in the mainland. They have beings above the Dao realm. And the tradition of the hundred continent meeting is that it is always held in one of the seven overlord continents each time. This time, the thunder sky overlord continent will host the meeting." Hua Yao replied calmly. Long Feng nodded. There were actually seven overlord continents.

And they could compare to four star forces of the mainland, which meant they were stronger than five star forces. For the next one hour, no one spoke or moved as they waited for the time to elapse. A full hour later, Chu Haoyun still hadn't appeared. If he had wanted to come, he would have already rushed over by now. Hua Yao followed the Great Elder's orders and called out another youth from the Yihua clan, a rank two spirit realm warrior.

After all not even the Yihua clan had the ability to raise many geniuses at the same level as the three youths. And the two strongest geniuses had already headed to the Thunder Sky Overlord Continent much earlier. That was the two spots granted to the Yihua clan itself as the ruler of a continent. The new comer was evidently beside himself with excitement when he was called to replace Chu Haoyun's spot. The wide grin wouldn't leave his face at all.

The old imperial realm master finally rose to his feet and everyone followed, even the Misty Mountain's Master.

"You ten, you all are the best talents in our continent from the past decade. Now, you will be heading out to a greater stage, where the greatest talents of the continent zone will showcase their abilities. We don't expect you to shine or have any astounding performance. All we wish is that you do not lose too badly and cause us to lose face. And If any of you happen to reach the top hundred, the reputation you will earn for us is simply not worth mentioning compared to what you will gain personally.

You could even join a mainland force if you're lucky enough." The Yi clan chief was the person who stepped forward and spoke, his deep eyes pausing on each of the ten youths standing before him. No one replied him or made any arrogant promises, because even Long Feng with his new ridiculous strength didn't dare to say he was fully confident in his chances. His chances of getting into the top ten, that is. He was more than confident that he could reach the top fifty.

If his strength that might be comparable to a rank one imperial realm master still wasn't enough to reach the top fifty and even the top twenty, then he might as well return to the Long clan and sleep. Heading to the competition would be nothing short of waste of time.

"There isn't much to say. This is a teleportation formation here. Each continent that participates in the hundred continent meeting has it and it leads to either of the seven overlord continents." Hua Tianyu added, pointing at the platform behind them and explained. The ten youths all turned to the platform in astonishment. The four Yihua clan's youths seemed to already know about it, but everyone else, including Gongsun Hao were filled with shock. A teleportation formation!

That was something that required an extremely high soul cultivator to set up, at least beyond the Soul Transformation Layer. And if had the profound ability to shorten long distances to be almost insignificant. The seven overlord continents were each unbelievably far away from the Yihua continent. Flying there would be impossible even for normal imperial masters. But with the teleportation formation, they would arrive at their destination in just a few minutes.

There could even be some teleportation formations that could instantly move one to the Mainland from the continent zone, completely making the huge distance seem insignificant. This teleportation formation here was far from that level, but it was still a luxury for the Yihua clan. Just activating it each time required ten imperial crystals. That alone would make it impossible to use for normal people. Only the Yihua clan could barely squeeze the required crystals out every decade.

"Now, all of you get on the platform. A Great Elder of the Yihua clan, the Misty Mountain's Master and the Yi clan chief will accompany you all to the Thunder Sky Overlord Continent. We will await the good news" Hua Tianyu smiled and stepped aside. The ten youths immediately jumped onto the platform and stood close together. The Great Elder vanished and appeared on the platform as well, followed by the Misty Mountain's Master and The Yi Clan's Chief.

Hua Tianyu nodded at them and took out ten extremely bright crystals with dense energy contained within them. These were undoubtedly ten imperial crystals. He placed the ten crystals in ten different grooves on the platform just the size of the crystals. With each crystal he placed, the runes on the platform lit up a bit more. When all the crystals were placed down in their spots, the platform began to dazzle brilliantly.

A wide beam of light surged and surrounded the figures on the platform, shooting into the sky and vanishing. When the light faded, the figures were gone.

"The hundred continent meeting has begun once again. We'll see who transforms into a dragon and who remains a carp" Hua Tianyu sighed and turned to leave, followed by Hua Yao.
