The Wizard from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country, who was originally tenth, turned green with envy, as he fell to eleventh!
The faces of everyone in the Wizard Alliance darkened, as this meant they had lost their chance to send anyone to the Spirit Essence Pool during this Heavenly Origin Secret Realm adventure.
"Savis, we will definitely report this to the Alliance Hierarch once we return!"
"That's right, it's all because of you, you idiot, now our Wizard Alliance has been thoroughly humiliated!"
The two Half-Step Golden Core Wizards from the Wizard Alliance pointed at Savis, who now appeared somewhat weakened from having taken a special potion and was in the process of recovering.
But at this moment, he simply sneered coldly, "Your own incompetence has nothing to do with me."
The two wizards' faces flushed with anger, nearly blazing, and had it not been for the prohibition of fighting in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, they would have likely come to blows then and there.
Savis, with a look of disdain and madness in his eyes, had indeed used a medicinal aid, but he still considered himself the strongest among the group, paying no attention to the others.
The members of the Wizard Alliance were furious, but powerless; Savis was telling the bitter truth. Aside from Savis and the one who had ranked tenth on the stele, they were on par with ordinary Half-Step Golden Core masters.
With Xiao Rulong taking second place, a huge commotion ensued, leaving many astonished onlookers. Some had speculated that Xiao Rulong might be a dark horse, but no one had anticipated him soaring to the second spot!
This Prodigy of the Ancient Clan, who had missed the talent rankings in the previous session, had suddenly catapulted to second place in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.
Present were the chosen few below the Golden Core Realm from all the Great Powers, making the rankings on the stele extremely prestigious.
Many in the Martial Arts Training Plaza began to discuss among themselves.
Xiao Rulong stepped down from front of the stele and returned to the side of Chi Jark and others.
Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and others were completely shocked, never having expected the low-profile Prodigy of the Xiao Family to posses such strength.
Among the nearly a hundred prodigies, to rank second was already immensely terrifying.
"Xiao Chubby, you seem to have made quite some progress as well," Chi Jark remarked, surprised. He had never expected Xiao Rulong to have been so deeply concealed. Aware that Xiao Rulong was not weak and confident he could place within the top five of the stele, the direct surge to second place had caught him off guard.
Xiao Rulong, still toying with his folding fan in a carefree manner, replied, "It was nothing more than a simple matter, still not comparable to you, Brother Jerk."
Chi Jark's face stiffened once again, feeling as though the man was insulting him, yet he had no evidence.
With little time remaining before the end of the third day, everyone had already taken their turn to gauge their potential and determine their standing, but no one managed to break into the top ten anymore.
When the time was up, Hong Gaishi let out a sigh of relief; he was precisely in ninth place. Had two more people outperformed him just then, he would have been utterly finished. Thankfully, most of the prodigies from the previous three years had already broken through their previous realms.
Glancing at Bu Tianyun, a fervent light flashed in his eyes. Hong Gaishi, a peer of Bu Tianyun's, found it unacceptable that he couldn't surpass Bu Tianyun on the ranking stele. As the prodigy of his generation from the Hong Family, he refused to be bested by anyone his age!
He never took Chi Jark, Xiao Rulong, and the rest too seriously; they were from three years ago, with their own rivals to contend with.
"That's not right, why haven't I seen Ye Feng?"
Hong Gaishi suddenly realized something was amiss. The roster for the Spirit Essence Pool had been set, yet there was no sign of Ye Feng!
Ye Feng had indeed entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, so why hadn't he shown up yet? Where on Earth could he have gone?
Though Hong Gaishi was reluctant to admit Ye Feng's superiority, he understood that if Ye Feng truly had shown up at the stele, the top five would have been easily within his reach!
As for the top three, Hong Gaishi had not yet considered Ye Feng as overwhelmingly powerful as the Half-Step Golden Core prodigies from three years earlier like Chi Jark.
Unfortunately, he was completely unaware that even Chi Jark himself believed Ye Feng to be stronger.
Hong Gaishi was not the only one to harbor such thoughts. Bu Tianyun and Golden Cicada had also begun scanning the crowd, unable to spot Ye Feng and wearing expressions laced with confusion.
Many from Xuanyuan Hall had also taken notice by now.
"Ye Feng of the Northern Border King is not on the stele!"
"It seems to be true, I didn't see the Northern Border King Ye Feng either, wasn't he with us when we entered the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm? Where has he gone now?"
"This is a spot for the Spirit Essence Pool, could he have just given up on it?"
"That's impossible, this is an excellent opportunity for a realm breakthrough. Although the Northern Border King Ye Feng is powerful, it is said that his realm has been stuck at the Peak Martial King for a long time. This is a perfect opportunity for him to break through. If he gives up on this, when will he ever leave the Peak Martial King?"
"Maybe he has already broken through somewhere now, and by the time we see him next, he might have reached the Divine Path Realm."
"Hiss! If he, being at the Peak Martial King, could already crush a prodigy like Bu Tianyun, who is at Half-Step Golden Core, wouldn't he be able to dominate the Saint Realm and Golden Core Realm if he reaches the Divine Path Realm?"
"Who knows, it's not impossible that he got into some trouble and was expelled by the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm."
Everyone had various speculations and were discussing Ye Feng.
Although Xiao Chuanqi and the others had already comforted themselves and stopped worrying about Ye Feng, now, hearing everyone discussing him, they began to feel anxious again. The spots for the Spirit Essence Pool had already been confirmed; three days had passed, yet until now, Ye Feng had not appeared at all. It was as if he had truly disappeared within the entire Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.
This was too bizarre, and it was hard for people not to entertain wild thoughts.
As of now, Xuanyuan Hall occupied five out of the top ten spots on the stele!
First was Chi Jark, second was Xiao Rulong, fifth was Golden Cicada, and then Bu Tianyun in eighth and Hong Gaishi in ninth, occupying half of the ten spots for the Spirit Essence Pool.
The expressions of everyone present varied, and Xuanyuan Hall's members appeared quite pleased, even proud, because they had secured half of the spots on the stele. This implied that Xuanyuan Hall was highly likely to add five young Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm to their ranks this time, which was definitely great news for them.
"Xuanyuan Hall has really hit the jackpot this time, occupying five out of the ten spots for the Spirit Essence Pool."
"Fortunately, our Fusang Yin-Yang Hall secured three spots."
"Our Western Vampire Divine Court only got two. Sigh, we're at the bottom."
"What are you talking about, our Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country didn't get a single one!!"
A Wizard from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country roared out, venting his dissatisfaction. Their Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country was the most embarrassed this time, without securing a single spot!
The complexions of many from the Wizard Alliance had turned very dark. They could already imagine how the leaders of the Wizard Alliance would properly 'take care of them' once they left the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm.
The representatives from Fusang Yin-Yang Hall and the Western Vampire Divine Court had looks of schadenfreude, but some of their faces were not very good-looking either. Although it was not as devastating as Snow Wolf Country, which didn't get any spot, having only two spots and ranking second to last was not much better.
At this time, the three powers were even more wary of Xuanyuan Hall. Five spots were not just about the spots; on the other hand, it also represented the strength of Xuanyuan Hall's young prodigies for the past fifty years, undoubtedly powerful and numerically superior. For them, this was not good news.
At that moment, the Spirit of the Secret Realm, the white-bearded elder from the stele, proclaimed loudly, "The Spirit Essence Pool spots have been chosen. The Martial Arts Training Plaza will close immediately, and the rest may continue to cultivate on their own in the Secret Realm, or proceed to extract Primal Stones."
After the White-Bearded Elder spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, and ten white pillars of light appeared in the middle of the crowd at the Martial Arts Training Plaza. The white light enveloped the top ten prodigies that were just listed on the stele. Soon after, all ten figures disappeared from the Martial Arts Training Plaza, and as for where they went, they were undoubtedly transported to the Spirit Essence Pool.
Then the White-Bearded Elder waved his hand again, and the ground beneath people's feet on the Martial Arts Training Plaza started to gradually vanish, including the massive dusky stele, slowly fading away until it disappeared entirely, replaced by a patch of grassland.
Seeing this, people dispersed one after another. There were still two days left, and they planned to use this time to cultivate fervently. For many who were on the verge of breaking through to Half-Step Golden Core, they might be able to advance to Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm.
Since Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong had been transported away, Xiao Chuan turned to his companions and said gravely, "We still haven't seen our lord. What should we do next?"
Xiao Chuan sought the opinions of everyone around. They had originally planned to search for Ye Feng by the stele, but to no avail.
"Let's find a place to cultivate. As for our lord, there's no need for us to worry. Let's focus on cultivating until the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm ends. With the last two days in such a unique secret realm, perhaps we can make rapid breakthroughs into the Golden Core Realm."
Shadow said coldly, already walking in a certain direction.
The others looked at each other and said nothing more. Shadow had made a good point; some of them also felt that they were close to breaking through. They would focus on improving themselves next. As for their lord, since he had not appeared until now, there was no use worrying. They decided to first enhance their own strength.
Inside a secret chamber in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, Ye Feng was oblivious to what was happening outside, nor did he know that the selection for the Spirit Essence Pool had concluded. He was completely engrossed in his world of cultivation.
