    Chapter 451

    Su Hao nodded. "If my understanding is correct, then yes, I've reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Master, you know I'm a genius."

    Silence instantly descended upon the entire square.

    Everyone had heard him clearly.

    He really was Feng Ling's disciple.

    And he really had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

    "..."

    Feng Ling had personally watched Su Hao's cultivation from the very beginning. She had guided him through the Qi Induction Realm and knew better than anyone exactly how long he had been cultivating.

    That was precisely why she understood just how terrifying his cultivation speed truly was.

    Even after hearing him admit it with her own ears, she still found it impossible to accept.

    She knew Su Hao never joked about this sort of thing.

    But inwardly, she couldn't stop herself from cursing.

    "Bullshit! Genius my foot! Is this something a human being can accomplish? What kind of monster are you?"

    For a brief moment, an overwhelming sense of despair welled up inside her.

    Then she forcefully suppressed it.

    "Didn't I already decide not to compare myself with Feng Wei anymore? Feng Ling, Feng Ling... how can you still be shaken so easily? Even if this brat becomes an immortal tomorrow, you shouldn't even blink."

    The surrounding cultivators exchanged bewildered glances.

    Just moments ago, they had merely thought the handsome young man carried himself with extraordinary confidence.

    Now, the more they looked at him, the stranger everything seemed.

    Even the uneasiness brought by the nine bell tolls had been pushed to the back of their minds.

    No one wanted to believe what they had just heard.

    Yet the fluctuations of Nascent Soul spiritual power couldn't be faked.

    A Golden Core cultivator might deceive ordinary perception with certain secret arts, but standing this close, no illusion could deceive the spiritual senses of so many people simultaneously.

    Their next thought was naturally that he must be some peerless genius.

    But even peerless geniuses had limits.

    What kind of monster reached the Nascent Soul Realm at such an age?

    Eventually, another thought quietly surfaced in everyone's mind.

    "Could it be... we're simply too mediocre?"

    ...

    Su Hao paid no attention to everyone's reactions.

    He had long grown accustomed to this sort of thing.

    Anyone who compared themselves to him would inevitably suffer a heavy blow.

    Fortunately, that blow usually didn't last long.

    Soon enough they would realize that comparing themselves to Su Hao was meaningless.

    He had never been a standard by which normal cultivators could measure themselves.

    Yashan looked around at the stunned crowd, unable to suppress the pride swelling inside him.

    "See? All of you are dumbfounded now. Boss Wei's greatness isn't something ordinary people can even imagine."

    Feng Cheng's eyes gradually reddened.

    His admiration had already surpassed simple respect and become almost instinctive reverence.

    Unable to restrain himself, he shouted excitedly,

    "Senior Brother Feng Wei is an omnipotent True Immortal!"

    Feng Yuer remained much calmer, yet the shock on her face was no less intense.

    She looked at Su Hao in disbelief.

    "Only a few years ago, we were all at the Qi Induction Realm...

    How long has it been?

    And he's already reached the Nascent Soul Realm..."

    The surrounding cultivators all reacted differently.

    Some secretly guessed,

    "Perhaps he'd already cultivated for decades before joining the sect."

    Others thought,

    "Maybe he accidentally consumed some heaven-defying treasure."

    Some even speculated,

    "The Sect Master must have secretly accepted him as a personal disciple."

    And a few stubbornly concluded,

    "It has to be fake."

    Everyone found an explanation they were willing to believe.

    With those explanations, their confidence gradually returned.

    Many even felt inspired.

    "If he can reach the Nascent Soul Realm, then perhaps I can too."

    The previously silent crowd gradually became lively again.

    Whispers spread everywhere.

    The oppressive atmosphere created by the nine bell tolls was eased considerably.

    Meanwhile, Su Hao simply stood there quietly.

    His Spiritual Consciousness spread throughout the entire Moonwatch Valley, silently observing every movement.

    The six Unity Realm cultivators were already gathered several thousand meters away.

    They seemed to be waiting until everyone had assembled before making their appearance.

    The thirty Nascent Soul elders had also arrived long ago, quietly standing nearby.

    Feng Yeshuang glanced at the four Nascent Soul elders of the Wind Lineage beside her and frowned slightly.

    "Has Qianye still not returned?"

    An elder respectfully replied,

    "Lineage Master, Elder Qianye left the sect over a year ago and hasn't returned since. Judging from the circumstances... she may have reached a critical stage in her cultivation."

    Feng Yeshuang merely nodded without another word, her gaze drifting into the distance.

    ...

    After some time, nearly every disciple of Moonwatch Valley had gathered before the Disciple Registry.

    More than a thousand cultivators filled the square.

    Although it was still far fewer than the sect's former peak of over two thousand disciples, no one seemed surprised.

    Most of those absent had already fallen in previous conflicts.

    Among cultivators, death was commonplace.

    Anyone walking the path of cultivation understood that there was no guarantee they would live to old age.

    The next person to die might very well be themselves.

    Cultivation sought longevity.

    Yet the further one advanced, the more elusive true longevity became.

    "They're here."

    Su Hao raised his eyes.

    Six figures suddenly appeared atop the high platform before the Disciple Registry.

    Four women.

    Two men.

    These were the six Lineage Masters of Moonwatch Valley—the Unity Realm experts who truly ruled the sect.

    It was also Su Hao's first time seeing them all together.

    He memorized each of their appearances.

    It was always better to recognize powerful people beforehand than accidentally offend them later.

    Behind the six Lineage Masters, one after another, thirty Nascent Soul elders silently appeared.

    The moment they settled onto the platform, every one of them noticed Su Hao.

    All six Lineage Masters simultaneously looked toward him.

    A single thought arose in their minds.

    "When did another Nascent Soul cultivator appear?"

    To them, every newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator should already have been accounted for.

    Without the approval of a Lineage Master, no new Nascent Soul cultivator should have existed.

    Sect Master Yun Xiao frowned slightly but remained silent.

    His calm gaze lingered on Su Hao.

    Yu Feixian blinked in surprise.

    "Where did this Nascent Soul cultivator come from? Why have I never seen him before? Does anyone recognize him?"

    Elder Feng looked carefully for a long moment before saying uncertainly,

    "He does seem familiar. Years ago, I awarded a Senior Brother Token to a Wind Lineage disciple and spoke with him briefly. I can't quite remember his name now... but he should indeed be one of our disciples."

    Wu Yao narrowed her eyes.

    "Could he be Feng Wei? He doesn't quite look like the Feng Wei I remember."

    Feng Yeshuang said calmly,

    "There's no need to speculate. We'll know soon enough."

    Everyone immediately fell silent.

    Sect Master Yun Xiao slowly swept his gaze across the crowd below.

    For an instant, it seemed as though his eyes pierced through the earth itself.

    Finally, he looked directly at the gathered disciples.

    His calm voice echoed throughout the entire valley.

    "Disciples of Moonwatch Valley."

    Though spoken softly, every word carried unquestionable authority.

    He slowly raised one hand and pointed toward the distant mountains.

    "Drive every invader beyond the gates of our sect."

    With those words, Yun Xiao transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.

    The other five Lineage Masters immediately followed.

    The thirty Nascent Soul elders also disappeared one after another.

    Only then did the square erupt into an uproar.

    Some disciples were frightened.

    Others were excited.

    Fear came from the impending battle.

    Excitement came from the confidence displayed by the Sect Master.

    Those two simple sentences carried an overwhelming momentum that inspired everyone present.

    Su Hao nodded slightly.

    "As expected of a Sect Master. Two sentences accomplished what a long speech never could."

    Just then, Elder Feng landed beside Su Hao with a warm smile.

    "Nephew Feng Wei, your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm is truly worth celebrating. Why don't you come with us? The elders are gathering to discuss our response. You can listen in and become acquainted with everyone."

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "Elder Feng, your discussion is enough. There's no need to seek my opinion."

    Elder Feng laughed.

    "That's perfectly fine. Just sit quietly and listen. It's time for you to meet the elders of Moonwatch Valley properly."
