Chapter 1207 - 74: Shrouded in Mystery (Part 2)

It’s not that they don’t know anything.

"The competition for the Supreme Dao Fruit, I wonder if the powerful ones from our Purple Mountain Starry Sky can attain Dao." Purple Mountain Starry Sky is the code name Wang Sheng gave to the fifth starry sky. Similarly, it’s also the first naming method seen for a Saint Emperor level power.

The strength of this starry sky is about the same as the initial Divine Light Starry Sky.

"There should be a chance... After all, they’re at the same realm, anyone might succeed." As a being of the Purple Mountain Starry Sky, one naturally has confidence in the warriors from their own starry sky.

However, their words were overheard by others.

"Attain Dao? You’re thinking too much, only newcomers to the starry sky would think attaining Dao is that simple..." This is just a thought, unsaid, but it’s the thought of most present.

They know very well that if it was at the beginning, perhaps someone could have attained Dao on their first entry to the Supreme Road, but now, it’s almost impossible.

The True Saint left too many opportunities on the Supreme Road. Without digesting these opportunities, one basically lacks strong competitiveness.

Facing those top-tier Saint Emperors who have been accumulating for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years on the Supreme Road, there’s a natural disadvantage.

Under such circumstances, how could one attain Dao?

Not to mention the increasingly bizarre threat of clones.

Although these words weren’t spoken, the beings from the Purple Mountain Starry Sky also felt the change in atmosphere and, being newcomers, didn’t dare to continue speaking, instead listening to the discussions of others.

Although they could buy some information, many things were not mentioned in the intelligence.

This was the reason they came to the largest tavern within the Supreme City, the Yuelai Inn, to gather information.

Upon arriving here, they indeed gathered quite a bit of information.

"The most promising people this time should be those few. They were invincible on their respective paths, and if not for the entanglement of clones, they would have entered already!"

"There shouldn’t be any surprises. Those four seem like the Ten Thousand Sword Supreme in their performance on their paths—invincible all the way, so terrifyingly powerful that no one can defeat them."

"I still favor the Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor from the New Land. According to the information received, she’s incredibly strong..."

"She’s nothing compared to the Yuanhua Saint Emperor. Compared to him, she’s just a..."

"Ahem, watch your tongue. Don’t forget where we are." Someone cut off the Yuanhua "fanboy."

The "fanboy" suddenly remembered, this is the Yuelai Inn.

It’s controlled by the force under Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor.

Saying bad things about Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor here is courting death, isn’t it?

Luckily, it wasn’t spoken out loud. Otherwise, even if it didn’t lead to death, it would have cost a layer of skin, no matter if he was at the Eleventh Realm.

"We better not comment; these powerful figures have many followers. Be cautious of misfortune stemming from careless speech. Who will win or lose will be apparent soon enough."

"Indeed, compared to this, I’m more curious whether the Yuanhua Saint Emperor will be the same as before."

With fans of the Yuanhua Saint Emperor present, the person didn’t state it explicitly.

But everyone knew what he wanted to say.

The same as before, wasn’t that being second?

No one remembers the runner-up unless you are always a runner-up.

Yuanhua is obviously such a case.

Those who understood exchanged knowing smiles, and the "fanboy" naturally could hear it, but this kind of vague talk he couldn’t act upon—most importantly because he couldn’t contend against them.

Of course, even if it’s a tease, it stops at a light touch.

Even if second for ten thousand years, it’s still among the top tier contention in the starry sky.

It holds substantial value.

Then, the crowd started discussing other matters.

"In this session, besides top experts with a chance to attain Dao, the younger generations are also strong. Each Supreme Road has powerful young individuals."

"Yes, it’s said that several are regarded as having a chance to attain Dao. For example, the Heavenly Favored King on the Xuan Yuan Supreme Path—is indeed well-renowned for a reason. It’s said that within the Eleventh Realm he’s invincible."

"I’ve heard of him too. Initially deemed to attain Dao within two hundred thousand years, the evaluation now has changed to within one hundred thousand years. Some crazy people even think he can achieve the Supreme in the next Supreme Dao Fruit competition."

The Heavenly Favored King, even upon entering the Supreme Road, didn’t fall from fame and made a great name for himself.

Even those present who were not beings of the Xuan Yuan Starry Sky knew of him to some extent.

"Your information is outdated. Shortly after entering the Creation Land, the Heavenly Favored King was defeated, and it’s said without much effort."

"Really? Although much of the Heavenly Favored King’s fame comes from hype, his combat power is indeed formidable. Could it have been someone from the Twelfth Realm?"

"No, it was someone of the same realm, apparently from the New Land Starry Sky... named Li Chengdao."

"Chengdao? That name, isn’t it quite ambitious."

"But his strength does indeed match up. After defeating the Heavenly Favored King, Li Chengdao smoothly broke through to the Twelfth Realm. According to some rumors, even some veteran Twelfth Realm individuals are no match."

"With the Heavenly Favored King’s invincibility broken, won’t he hold a grudge against Li Chengdao?"

"Who knows?"

...

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Level private room at Yuelai Inn, said to be accessible only to top-tier Saint Emperors.

Li Chengdao and the Heavenly Favored King were having a pleasant conversation.

"Brother Chengdao, they say I will harbor a grudge against you."

"Nonsense, what they described of us is just an impression of us." Li Chengdao’s expression didn’t change, maintaining an extremely stable mindset.

"Haha, that’s true, though I must thank you. Otherwise, I might have truly sunk into everyone’s praises." The Heavenly Favored King spoke sincerely; Li Chengdao broke through the false praises he perceived, allowing his spirit to rise stronger despite losing.

"I didn’t do much, just simply defeated you."

"Simple... if I hadn’t grown to understand you, I might have really gotten angry." The Heavenly Favored King shook his head, "Yet knowing you for so long, I didn’t expect that you have such wide connections to enter the Heavenly Level room of Yuelai Inn. Can you tell me, how did you manage it, do you know their higher-ups?"

"The Store Manager at Yuelai Inn is my elder."

The Heavenly Favored King was taken aback: "Ah? The Store Manager, that Zhu Xiao Saint Emperor?"

"That’s right."

"Damn, I envy you, possessing not just immense talent but also such a formidable background. Just a shallow question, who do you think will attain Dao this time?"

Li Chengdao answered without hesitation: "Aunt Zhu Xiao."

Although Zhu Xiao is over two hundred thousand years old, she still prefers juniors to call her young. If not for being embarrassed, she might directly have them call her sister.

"True, certainly supporting one’s elders, I also support the Xuan Kong ancestor." The Heavenly Favored King said Li Chengdao didn’t lack in background, neither did he, as his displayed talent was destined to be extraordinary.

"Then let’s wait and see!"

Amidst a chorus of anticipation and discussion.

The top experts from the sub-paths of each Supreme Road entered the Creation Land.

The competition for the Supreme Dao Fruit entered its final moments.

The result partially announced was by Yuanhua.

Aided by the Ten Thousand Sword Supreme, Ye Feng’s influence, without the drag of a clone, his progress was the fastest.

Next was Shen Tu from the Divine Light Starry Sky, who shortly after entering the Supreme Road, calculated and eliminated his own clone.

Then Xuan Kong, who also through means, solved his clone and quickly advanced.

Only Zhu Xiao, still entangled with her replica, advanced the slowest.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Xiao became the least favored top-tier Saint Emperor.

After thirteen hundred years since the opening of the Supreme Road.

Yuanhua defeated Shen Tu, eliminating Shen Tu from the final contention.

Yuanhua’s momentum reached its peak.

Yuanhua became the most favored top-tier Saint Emperor, everyone thought his attaining Dao was without exception.

But the more certain things seem, the more unexpected they may become.

After Yuanhua defeated Shen Tu, Zhu Xiao, under the pressure of the clone, defeated Xuan Kong.

The previously clear situation became unpredictable once again.

Then, Yuanhua defeated some clones, continuously building momentum.

However, before long, Yuanhua encountered Zhu Xiao’s clone.
