Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 528: The Confidence of the Lieyang Royal Mansion

"Clang!"

A powerful and sharp cutting aura emanated from Zong Xuan of the Zong Royal Mansion.

"Sharp momentum, not bad, Zong Xuan has actually grasped the Metal Attribute cutting momentum," the Great Flame Emperor said with a smile, nodding his head.

A trace of joy also appeared on Zong Xuan’s face.

Although sharp momentum is only an embodiment of the Fifth Grade Dao Principle, for disciples like Zong Xuan, being able to comprehend their own heavenly and earthly momentum in such a short time was already a remarkable feat.

"Thank you, Emperor Xie, thank you, Immortal Envoy," Zong Xuan said excitedly as he bowed.

He then happily returned to his seat.

Xu Ping’an shook his head indifferently. In this brief period, nearly seven or eight promising youths had stepped forward.

However, all the geniuses had comprehended only embodiments of the Fifth Grade Dao Principle’s heavenly and earthly momentum, without a single Fourth Grade. This suggested that their talents for perception were not particularly strong.

Cultivation talents are of two kinds, one is a physical talent, which involves a faster absorption rate of the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

The other is the talent for comprehension of heaven and earth, which usually does not show up too much in the early stages, but is crucial to later stages of cultivation.

After reaching the Tenth Rank, comprehension essentially determines how far one can go on the path of cultivation.

Clearly, for these geniuses who comprehended only the Fifth Grade Dao Principle embodiment, reaching the Tenth Rank was probably their limit.

Reaching the Eleventh Rank would be extremely difficult.

"Father Emperor, I would like to give it a try," said the Fifth Princess, Jiang Lan, stepping forward.

As soon as Jiang Lan proceeded, everyone’s gaze instantly turned to the Fifth Princess, curious to see what kind of heavenly and earthly momentum she could comprehend.

Xu Ping’an also looked at the Fifth Princess with curiosity. Bearing expectations for this Second Grade physique possesser, he had noticed her not inconsiderable cultivation talent during their battles.

Although she wasn’t as heaven-defying as he and Li Qingyi, she was still a rare talent.

This time, during the Dao Stele perception, she might just surprise everyone.

The Great Flame Emperor also had a smile on his face, looking at Jiang Lan with veiled anticipation.

The Fifth Princess Jiang Lan walked towards the stele. At first, she struggled, but she quickly seemed to grasp the trick.

She began to try to utilize her Fire Attribute Combat Skill to cleave through the pressure.

It must be said, this was a clever method, one that Xu Ping’an had taught to Situ Xingfeng before.

With this approach, Jiang Lan quickly reached the front of the stele.

The moment her white and delicate hand touched the stele, her whole being seemed to undergo an enlightening baptism.

A vast force seemed like it would blow her away.

But she did not let go and instead, her body’s strength burst forth, forcefully resisting the force.

This process lasted for a full three breaths until Jiang Lan could no longer hold on and stumbled back three meters to stabilize her form.

The crowd looked at Jiang Lan with curiosity, eyes filled with wonder.

What heavenly and earthly momentum did Jiang Lan comprehend?

"Hum!"

At that moment, an overwhelmingly powerful aura of flames surged around Jiang Lan.

"Boom!"

The terrifying aura caused the temperature in the entire hall to suddenly rise by ten degrees.

Everyone felt an intense heat.

"It is actually the Ferocious Fire Momentum, it’s a Fourth Grade Dao Principle Embryo," Xu Ping’an said, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Indeed, Jiang Lan had comprehended a Fourth Grade Dao Principle Embryo of Spatial Momentum, blazingly intense.

This Spatial Momentum could lift the power of flames to a new height, with an extremely formidable force.

If she mastered this Dao Principle, her Combat Power would certainly become very strong in the future.

"Good, truly worthy of being my daughter, a Fourth Grade Dao Principle Embryo, haha, not bad at all," the Great Flame Emperor laughed heartily, his eyes filled with admiration.

The surrounding geniuses also cast envious glances her way.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Qiu Lu also said with a smile to the Great Flame Emperor.

The Great Flame Emperor laughed heartily.

Jiang Lan’s face also showed a hint of satisfaction, clearly very pleased with the Spatial Momentum she had comprehended.

A Fourth Grade Dao Principle Embryo, this was already very rare indeed.

Those who could comprehend a Fourth Grade Dao Principle Embryo were without exception, geniuses.

Those able to comprehend a Third Grade were even more so characters of a Demonic-level.

Of course, someone like Xu Ping’an who had comprehended the Spatial Momentum at the Second Grade level and Temporal Momentum at the First Rank level was already beyond human.

Next, there were several other promising geniuses who stepped forward to touch the Stele, but what they comprehended were all Fifth Grade Dao Principle Embryos.

Among them were Shao Yanlong, Xiao Yunzong, the Eighth Prince Jiang Fan, and even Crown Prince Jiang Yu, who only comprehended a top form of the Fifth Grade Dao Principle Embryo, Incineration.

"Look, it’s just the Fire Divine Palace and Lieyang Royal Mansion left now," someone suddenly said at that moment.

The royal family, Crimson King’s Mansion, and Zong King’s Mansion had all finished their turns.

Now, only King Lie Mansion and the Fire Divine Palace remained.

However, seeing that Xu Ping’an and the others were still showing no intentions of moving, everyone knew that Wu Qing planned to touch the Stele at the very end.

"Since King Lie Mansion yields, then we from the Fire Divine Palace will go first," Luo Yong’an gave Xu Ping’an a cold look and said with a snort.

It was clear he thought that Xu Ping’an and his group waiting until the end to touch the Stele was overly arrogant.

"Just because you are not qualified to take the finale, but since you have chosen so, I will indulge you. I hope you won’t regret it," Luo Yong’an thought with a sneer as he walked towards the Stele.

Instantly, all eyes turned to Luo Yong’an.

This time, only three people came from the Fire Divine Palace, Li Qingyi, Luo Yong’an, and Xie Jizong.

Now with Luo Yong’an taking the lead, everyone was curious to see what kind of performance the Fire Divine Palace would give.

At the same time, the crowd also felt that King Lie Mansion was being too arrogant, wanting to have the last turn to make an appearance. They knew that in such ceremonies, it was usually the people from the Fire Divine Palace who took the finale.

This time, Lieyang Royal Mansion actually wanted to be the last to appear, which was indeed a bit too arrogant.

Situ Xingfeng also felt that this was inappropriate and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Situ Lie.

Situ Lie glanced at Xu Ping’an and saw that he was calm and unhurried, so he did not become anxious either.

After all, he knew that Xu Ping’an had already comprehended both the temporal and spatial Attributes, which alone was enough to crush anyone present.

He was even more interested to see what gains Xu Ping’an would have after touching the Stele.

Since Xu Ping’an was not in a hurry, he too was not in a hurry.

"Oh? A disciple of the Fire Divine Palace, haha, not bad. I hope you can bring a surprise to this Emperor," the Great Flame Emperor laughed loudly, glancing at the Lieyang Royal Mansion with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

It was clear that he was also surprised by the attitude of Lieyang Royal Mansion.

Lieyang Royal Mansion actually remained to the very end, surprising him somewhat.

"That is Wu Qing, who as a Seventh Rank defeated a Ninth Rank, truly confident as a Seventh Rank," the Great Flame Emperor muttered to himself.

He observed Xu Ping’an discreetly.

At this moment, Luo Yong’an had already reached the Stele and placed his hand upon it.
