Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 190

On the summit of Mount Hengshan, lanterns were lit and colorful decorations adorned the surroundings, creating a festive atmosphere filled with joyous anticipation. The Main Peak Square, the largest platform in Hengshan, was originally designed by the first generation ancestor to accommodate only a few thousand people. However, over the course of three millennia, it had undergone continuous expansion and renovations. Today, the Main Peak platform could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people, leaving ample space for the gathering.

Every person who arrived at the Main Peak wore a peculiar radiance on their faces. Regardless of their inner emotions, their countenances reflected an undeniable sense of delight. Today marked the grandest celebration in decades for the Hengshan lineage. Since Elder Xichen set foot into the realm of Innate sixty years ago, such festivity had not been witnessed in a whole century.

The elderly attendees who had participated in the gathering sixty years ago couldn't help but sigh with emotion. They pointed and reminisced with their younger kin, recounting their memories of yesteryears. On the other hand, the majority of the younger generation were restless, their gazes frequently directed towards the entrance of Main Peak Square, as if awaiting someone of significance.

Within the vicinity of the Hengshan lineage, numerous peaks rose, but only six held true importance. Aside from the Main Peak and Ling Yao Peak, there were also the Wind and Fire Peak, Spirit Jade Peak, Thumb Peak, and the Broad Mansion Peak. Over the course of three thousand years, these six peaks had produced countless Innate cultivators, becoming the core pillars of the Hengshan lineage. While it was true that other smaller peaks had also seen the rise of Innate cultivators, unfortunately, these instances were fleeting, lacking in sustained appearance. Therefore, once the Innate cultivators on those smaller peaks perished, their disciples and descendants would invariably return to these six major peaks, awaiting the rise of a new generation.

Today, there were over two thousand people residing on the entire Hengshan, and their prolonged stay in this picturesque place had indeed elevated their martial cultivation far beyond that of ordinary people in the outside world. Among the acquired masters, there were dozens who had reached the tenth layer of Internal Energy.

However, in this century, a new generation of cultivators who could ascend to Innate through their own efforts had yet to emerge. This was a shared pain in the hearts of everyone in Hengshan. But on this day, they all learned that Zhou Wude, the abandoned disciple of Hengshan, not only obtained two Innate Inner Dan through his own efforts but also brought his grandson, Zhou Yi, the young and excessively talented Innate cultivator, under the wings of Hengshan.

For all the disciples of Hengshan, this undoubtedly served as a powerful stimulant, and thus, anyone who could make it had arrived at the Main Peak Square long ago. Except for the necessary personnel stationed at each peak and some elderly, weak, and young who were unable to attend, there was no absence from the gathering.

"Master, is it true that Elder Zhou is only seventeen years old?"

"Nonsense! Don't you believe the words of the Grand Ancestor?"

"I do believe, but can someone truly achieve Innate at the age of seventeen?"

"Well... It should be possible, I suppose."

Similar conversations quietly circulated from every corner of the square. Although Zhou Yi had been in Hengshan for several months, he rarely ventured outside. Apart from the Main Peak's Library and the Alchemy Room and Herbal Garden of Ling Yao Peak, he seldom left his residence.

In such circumstances, apart from the disciples of Ling Yao Peak, even the disciples of the Main Peak had not seen his true appearance, let alone the disciples from the other peaks. Therefore, there was an inexplicable anticipation in their hearts for Elder Zhou, who had already gained a renowned reputation without having been seen.
