Zhao Feng was able to inspect Guangjun Province City twenty miles away while the others, including Ye Linyun, still saw it as a tiny black dot.
Within his left eye, the azure light had reached six foot three which stood for his cultivation.
Zhao Feng found that ever since he entered the sixth rank, the progress of his cultivation started to slow down unlike his martial arts. According to Ye Linyun, the nine ranks of the Martial Path strived to perfect one’s body. So as one reached the later ranks, the harder it was progress.
The carriage soon entered the rich Province City.
On the way, Zhao Feng realised that any random youth would have the cultivation of the third and fourth rank.
The buildings here were far more majestic, it was not something Sun Feather City could be compared to. Finally, the carriage entered the depths of the city and stopped near a rich, noble palace. Compared to this, the Zhao family’s mansion was just like an old bathroom, they weren’t even close to being on the same level.
Just the front gate alone was several carriages wide. What surprised them more was that the eight guards at the front gate had already reached the fourth rank or higher.
“Cultivators of the fourth rank are only guards here?” Zhao Feng was slightly dazed.
Being born in a small village and cultivating to this level, he understood how much effort and pain it took. Martial Artists of the fourth rank or higher would even be respected in Sun Feather City.
“This is the Guanjun Palace and it is the most influential place in the city. I’ll soon transfer you guys to the “Sky Guards Battalion” where we train our geniuses.” Ye Linyun warned.
Guanjun Palace! Sky Guards Battalion!
The breathing rate of Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei increased. After entering the Guanjun Palace, Zhao Feng realised that almost every cultivator was of the fourth rank or higher. Zhao Feng even saw three Martial Masters of the seventh rank.
Soon, Ye Linyun led the two to an old dirty field. It was weird that an old dirty field such as this would appear in the middle of the Guanjun Palace. On the field, there were a few tents and a low number of wooden rooms. Only in the very middle, there was a building.
“This is the forbidden area of the Guanjun Palace – the Sky Guards Battalion”, which was created by Lord Guanjun himself in the hope of raising some geniuses. At the same time, this is the backup of the Guanjun Corps.” Ye Linyun walked forward.
Sky Guards Battalion?
We’re going to live in this sh*tty place? Zhao Feng stared at the dirty muddy field with ten wooden rooms and a few more tents. The environment here was so cr*p that it wasn’t even able to be compared with Green Leaf Village,
“Haha, Master Ye. These are the two geniuses you brought?” A white bearded old man came from the other side with a black clothed youth following behind him.
“Master Hu.” Ye Linyun signalled to the white bearded old man.
While they were speaking, Master Hu casually looked at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.
Instantly, the two felt as if all their secrets had been exposed. Zhao Feng’s heart shook, this old man’s cultivation iwa probably even higher than Ye Linyun’s.
It could be seen that the Guanjun Palace did indeed have an unique position to see two Martial Masters of the ninth rank here.
“He’s Huang Qi, a genius I picked from the Pearl Tree City, just fifteen years old and already at the sixth rank.” The old man smiled as he introduced the youth standing behind him with joy.
Fifteen years old and already at the sixth rank. His talent was indeed good. The youth named Huan Qi casually glanced at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei, but surprise was seen in his eyes as he looked at the latter’s.
Both the white bearded old man and Master Ye were in charge of sending their geniuses here. After they sent the three to the gate, the two Master’s immediately stopped.
“I’ll send you up to here. You better perform well because Lord Guanjun will be coming out of secluded meditation next month… ” Ye Linyun warned then left.
Being a Martial Master of the ninth rank, his time was precious too.
The white bearded old man also talked to Huang Qi: “Lord Guanjun is known for his love of geniuses, especially young ones. You need to grasp this chance to change your destiny.”
“Yes, Master Hu.” Huan Qi took a deep breath and solemnly answered.
Lord Guanjun was a legend in this country and the Sky Guards Battalion was created by him. If he stayed here and cultivated, not only would he receive resources from the Guanjun Palace he would also get the chance to see the legendary Lord Guanjun.
The two from the Zhao family walked into the dirty fields with Huang Qi. On the way, they saw many youths of the same age. Most of them were between the ages of twelve and eighteen, but the majority were under sixteen. This meant that their ages were all similar.
“Twelve years old, third rank… ” Zhao Feng couldn’t help but click his tongue.
