Chapter 768 406: Tian Fulai

On the high platform, the expressions of the Elders froze as they saw someone new enter the arena and stop Elder Meng. Looking at the newcomer, they were all stunned.

"Tian Fulai!"

Chang Wang blurted out, his face filled with astonishment.

This man hadn't descended from the high platform; before this, he had been in closed-door cultivation and hadn't been seen for a long time.

But this man's fame resounded throughout the entire Emei Mansion.

He was Tian Fulai, Elder Tian!

He began cultivating at fifteen, reached Foundation Establishment in ten days, formed a Golden Core in one hundred days, and attained the Nascent Soul in five hundred. His Cultivation Level soared at an incredible speed, and he entered the Harmonization Realm in a mere ten years. He was hailed as the greatest genius in Emei Mansion, and moreover, a War God.

Countless resentful spirits and Demons had died by his hand. He had once joined forces with the Jade Dragon Mansion and the Hundred Thousand Mountains to exterminate overseas Demons. He led the charge, and in a single battle, single-handedly slaughtered over a thousand powerful Demons, achieving fame overnight. Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had never known defeat.

This terrifying battle record was something none of the other Elders in Emei Mansion could ever hope to match.

He was the First Elder of Emei Mansion, Elder Tian!

'Wasn't he in seclusion for a breakthrough? Has he already succeeded?'

Chang Wang and the others were all greatly surprised by Tian Fulai's appearance. Half a year ago, Tian Fulai had announced he was entering seclusion to break through his bottleneck and advance to the next level, and he hadn't been seen in public since.

For Tian Fulai to appear now, didn't that mean his Cultivation Level had already broken through to the Middle Stage of Harmonization?

Although everyone was surprised by Tian Fulai's appearance, it wasn't entirely unexpected. Tian Fulai and Elder Meng, Meng Jianglai, were half-brothers, sharing the same mother but having different fathers. Meng Jianglai was the elder brother and Tian Fulai the younger, with a full twenty-year age gap between them.

The two had died in the mortal world during a war, and after death, they entered Emei Mansion together to walk the path of cultivation. But because Tian Fulai progressed at a divine speed, his Cultivation Level far surpassed Meng Jianglai's. In a reversal of roles, Meng Jianglai had to respectfully address his own younger brother as "Brother Daoist."

Among the Elders on the high platform, even those who had previously been at the same Cultivation Level as Tian Fulai could no longer see through his cultivation. The implication was obvious.

Not only had Tian Fulai achieved his breakthrough, but he had also arrived just in time for the tournament, right when Meng Jianglai was defeated by Yang An...

In that instant, everyone's gaze snapped in unison toward Yang An in the arena. Even Chang Wang, who had originally just wanted to watch the spectacle, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat on Yang An's behalf.

'Yang An could defeat a Divinity Transformation cultivator, but how could he fight someone in the Harmonization Realm? It's impossible! I might even be implicated for spreading the news about his arena challenge.'

That guy was in for it now!

The moment Tian Fulai appeared, the gazes of the onlookers toward Yang An instantly became filled with schadenfreude.

After all, the person who had just appeared was a true Great Power Cultivator, Elder Tian of the Harmonization Realm, the number one person under the Mansion Master, the number one War God of Emei Mansion!

He had more titles than one could count on their fingers, but one thing was certain: whatever Yang An had just taken, he was about to be forced to spit it back out, and then some.

In the eyes of the crowd, while Yang An's cultivation speed might be even more terrifying than Tian Fulai's, he was still far too green.

Defeating Meng Jianglai might prove he had the strength of a Divinity Transformation cultivator, but when facing another genius like Tian Fulai, the difference in their years of cultivation was an insurmountable gap—to say nothing of Tian Fulai's Harmonization Realm and his terrifying combat prowess.

Now *this* was going to be a real show.

Far away, atop the Golden Summit, the expressions of the Mansion Master and the Supreme Elder also turned strange upon seeing Tian Fulai's arrival.

"Do you still want to bet that boy will win now?"

the Supreme Elder suddenly remarked. He then produced several glittering, golden treasures. A dazzling, enchanting light radiated from them—they were all rare Top Grade Magical Treasures.

The Mansion Master: "..."
