Chapter 1702: Chapter 1404: A Small Sect of the Heavenly Note Sect in the Southern Region Chapter 1702: Chapter 1404: A Small Sect of the Heavenly Note Sect in the Southern Region Han Ming sat in his place, looking at the person in front of him, and after a moment of silence said,
“Fairy Guard, who do you think can compete against the prodigies of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect?”
He couldn't answer the question posed by the other party.
So all he could do was to send the question back.
To see how the other would respond.
“There are countless strong practitioners in the world, but genuine prodigies are rare, and the immortal sects have people in various divisions, all for the purpose of finding many with outstanding innate talents and then bringing them back to the sect.” Ye Qingxue thought for a moment and said,
“Those who can really compete with the true prodigies of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect are most likely the disciples of the major immortal sects.
“Of course, with the grand age unfolding, some races surely have such prodigies as well.
“As for other major sects, such individuals are very rare.
“Even if they exist, they would not come to the Mountain Sea Sword Sect to participate in this Inquiry into the Sword tournament.”
“People like us, who will we be up against?” Han Ming asked.
“It will probably just be the ordinary disciples from the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, the difference between platforms for ascension is vast as heaven and earth,” Ye Feng commenting from the side.
“Yes, our Ancient Tower is also a major sect, but those who can genuinely challenge the prodigies of the immortal sects are few and far between,” Ye Qingxue reflected,
“Especially when facing prodigies from the immortal sects who sweep their contemporaries.
“Our sect is completely insignificant in their eyes.”
“So, the only ones who can fight the prodigies of the Mountain Sea Sword Sect are just the prodigies from other immortal sects?” Han Ming interjected.
“Pretty much.” The last fairy guard nodded.
Han Ming laughed and said,
“The immortal sects are indeed strong.”
“Fellow Daoist's sect has produced you, a prodigy, and that is quite extraordinary,” Ye Qingxue said with a smile,
“Your sect's elders bringing you here is mostly likely to enhance the sect's reputation.
“Do well in the competition, just winning one or two matches will greatly boost your sect's fame.
“After all, it's not easy for a sect to cultivate a prodigy.”
Han Ming smiled and nodded, without further explanation.
He was indeed cultivated by his master, but he was far from being called a sect prodigy.
Among the top disciples, at most, he ranked around fifth or sixth.
The top three had even ascended to immortality.
“Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Han Ming should be at the central platform, right?” Ye Feng asked.
“Yes,” Han Ming nodded.
“Then you must be careful, it's said that the central platform might host the prodigies from Mountain Sea Sword Sect.
“However, the people from Mountain Sea Sword Sect are also reluctant to pit prodigy against prodigy too early.
So major sect or immortal sect disciples, they all face those prodigies somewhat later,” Ye Feng continued and asked,
“Is Heavenly Note Sect a major sect?”
Han Ming shook his head, “A top-tier sect from the southern region.”
“Then it might be difficult, you might face a prodigy right from the start,” Ye Feng said.
“In a few days, we'll know, then we'll see who our opponents are,” Ye Qingxue added.
Seven days later.
Just five days before the grand tournament.
Thus, the city began to release the roster, showcasing the opponents.
Han Ming walked with Ye Qingxue and the others.
They headed to the place where the list was being posted.
The four had always been together, so they were familiar with each other.
“Fellow Daoist Han Ming, you're carrying your sect's honor, your luck shouldn't be bad,” Ye Qingxue offered comfortingly.
Han Ming nodded his head, he never explained.
Honor, then honor it is.
Not exactly an unacceptable reason.
Soon, the four saw the list.
Ye Feng was the first to spot himself, “My opponent is Xiao Jin, can't say I've heard the name, this means I could still endure.”
Ye Mumu also excitedly said, “I've found myself, too, my opponent is Xueji, I think I've heard that name, I'm doomed.”
Ye Qingxue looked around and said, “I've got one too, but my opponent is called Feng Qian, never heard of her, looks like I have a chance as well.”
Then, they turned to Han Ming and asked, “Fellow Daoist Han Ming, have you found yourself?”
Han Ming pointed to the middle of the list and said, “There, but I don't recognize the person.”
Hearing this, Ye Qingxue and the others immediately looked in the direction Han Ming was pointing.
They just saw Han Ming's name along with another.
The three of them were stunned for a moment at this name, hardly believing it.
The name written was Jian Chengji.
“How is this possible?” Ye Feng couldn't believe it,
“One of the Seven Extremes Inheritor from Mountain Sea Sword Sect, the unparalleled prodigy Jian Chengji, how could he be participating in the Inquiry into the Sword?
“It's unimaginable,” Ye Qingxue added, “Fellow Daoist Han Ming, it seems your chance to shine for the sect has vanished.
“Such a prodigy suddenly joining the Inquiry into the Sword must be just a coincidence.
“And you just so happened to run into him.
“That counts as bad luck.”
“Is he very strong?” Han Ming asked.
“One of the Seven Extremes Sword, they all take their names from swords, and in this era, these seven almost represent the most likely candidates from Mountain Sea Sword Sect to pursue the Supreme Sword Intent.
“Do you think he's strong?
“Among contemporaries, there's almost no one who could be his opponent.
“Not even the fairy guards from the immortal sects could send someone who's a match for him,” Ye Qingxue explained.
Han Ming nodded, “So his sword is very sharp.”
“Not just sharp, nearly invincible,” Ye Feng added.
“It seems he is indeed strong,” Han Ming sighed.
“The person arranging this probably hasn't heard of your sect and assumed you're no significant contender, so they are getting rid of you first,” Ye Feng remarked.
Han Ming laughed, “It seems I only get this one match, but being able to witness such a prodigy is still worth the trip.”
“It's good you can see it that way–better to participate than not,” Ye Qingxue stated.
Following that, the four went back to prepare.
Waiting for the grand tournament after five days.
On the other side.
Jiang Hao, looking at the list, was quite pensive.
He and his companion from Heavenly Note Sect were up against the sixth stage cultivators of the Immortal Ascension Platform.
“Senior, can your Foundation Establishment Stage beat them?” Jiang Hao curiously asked.
“No,” Heavenly Note Sect shook his head.
“Just a spectator now,” Jiang Hao laughed, “I should at least try, maybe I'll manage to win a round.”
