"Linghu Mingye — that's the Linghu Mingye ranked fourth among the Ten Rising Stars of the Ancestral Martial Starfield. He actually entered the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World too."
The moment they spotted Linghu Mingye, every faction gathered in the plaza turned their gaze toward him. Dongguo Bingyu and the others, in particular, couldn't hide the worry that surfaced in their eyes.
After all, Linghu Mingye's strength surpassed even Linghu Lun's. Everyone could sense that his cultivation had reached the second rank of Martial Immortal.
Now, Dongguo Bingyu's cultivation was also at the second rank of Martial Immortal.
However, Dongguo Bingyu was a full two hundred years older than Linghu Mingye.
For an ordinary martial cultivator, two hundred years might not make a tremendous difference — but for the geniuses gathered here, the gap over two centuries was enormous.
Linghu Mingye had broken through to the Martial Immortal realm before the age of one hundred. So what level would he reach by the time he reached Dongguo Bingyu's age? That was easy to imagine.
Would he enter the Sovereign realm within two hundred years? Absolutely not. But becoming a standout among Martial Immortals within that time frame? Quite possible.
This was the caliber of genius the Ancestral Martial Starfield truly produced.
Most importantly, this kind of genius had only just entered the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World — he was still a newcomer.
Which meant he could enter the Sacred Spirit Light Formation.
As for Chu Feng and his group, they had likely already entered the Sacred Spirit Light Formation successfully — but in doing so, they had offended the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
Once the Linghu Heavenly Clan's newcomers entered the Sacred Spirit Light Formation, they would absolutely not let Chu Feng and the others off the hook.
Linghu Mingye's arrival was naturally terrible news for Dongguo Bingyu and her companions.
"Mingye, it's even better that you're here. Quick — enter the Sacred Spirit Light Formation and teach that Chu Feng a proper lesson."
Sure enough, the moment Linghu Mingye appeared, Linghu Tiemian issued his orders without hesitation, openly declaring in front of everyone that he wanted Mingye to put Chu Feng and his group in their place.
"I already told you — I have no interest in this light formation," Linghu Mingye said.
"Mingye, I can understand your lack of interest in an ordinary light formation, but this is no ordinary one. This is the Sacred Spirit Light Formation. The cultivation resources contained within are several times greater than those of a normal light formation. Such a cultivation opportunity is rare throughout the entire Ancestral Martial Cultivation World. You really can't afford to miss it," Linghu Tiemian urged earnestly.
"I know the Sacred Spirit Light Formation is extraordinary. I heard everything you said earlier. But like I told you — I have no interest in light formations, whether they're ordinary ones or this so-called Sacred Spirit Light Formation," Linghu Mingye replied.
Those words left not only Linghu Tiemian and the rest of the Linghu Heavenly Clan in stunned silence — even the onlookers from other factions wore looks of disbelief.
He had no interest in the Sacred Spirit Light Formation? Wasn't that taking arrogance a step too far?
"Mingye, don't be stubborn," Linghu Tiemian's tone shifted, his earnest coaxing giving way to a barely concealed edge of anger.
"I said I'm not going in, and I'm certainly not going in. Besides, dealing with a bunch of trash doesn't require me at all — Lun can handle it just fine." Linghu Mingye turned to look at Linghu Lun at this point. "Lun, you can handle it, right?"
"Of course I can. But Mingye, Tiemian Big Brother makes a fair point. This Sacred Spirit Light Formation is a rare cultivation opportunity. Are you really going to let it slip by?"
"It is a rare opportunity, but no matter how rare, the cultivation resources inside are still finite. I won't compete with you for it."
