Chapter 187: The Third Heavenly Reflection

Chapter 187: The Third Heavenly Reflection

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Yan Xiu was still icy and expressionless.

However, his body was surrounded by a green glow as leaves circled him.

Other than this, his skin was covered with a thin grey layer of substance. It looked like the branches of a tree, and there were clear markings on it.

"Another field!"

"It’s wood... no, it’s a field of trees!"

All of the candidates were unable to conceal their shock and awe when they saw this scene unfold before their eyes.

Yan Xiu was standing inside the protection of a huge tree.

This could only mean one thing...

Yan Xiu was in the Heavenly Reflection State!

For over a century, no one had managed to breakthrough to the Heavenly Reflection State before 18. That was until Chi Guyan came along.

Not long ago, Fang Zhengzhi broke through at the Divine Constabulary, making him the second youngest Heavenly Reflection talent.

Within a few years, there were now to Heavenly Reflection powers under 18.

This was a stunning fact.

And now...

Yan Xiu, at the age of 16.

He managed to breakthrough during the Imperial Examinations, becoming the third person to attain this feat under the age of 18.

No one could believe their eyes.

Three Heavenly Reflection powers under 18?!

One was a surprise, two was a coincidence, three...

Was earth shaking.

If not for the fact that Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi had already done it, Yan Xiu’s breakthrough would have rocked the entire empire.

Top of the two Dragon Rolls.

Yan Xiu was just 16, and well within the parameters of the Hidden Dragon Roll.

After all, he still had two more years to go, and anything could happen in these two years.

There was another name that could fulfill the great prophecy. Yan Xiu.

...

Inside the Imperial Academy, King Duan and Han Zhangfeng stared wide eyed at the screen. They could not believe their eyes.

"How is this possible?"

"Yan Xiu broke through to the Heavenly Reflection State?"

"Yan Xiu of the Yan Clan..."

King Duan looked at Han Zhangfeng and saw Han Zhangfeng looking back at him. They were both thinking of the same thing.

After all, they were looking at the future.

Han Zhangfeng was of the view that they should cultivate their own dragon. As such, they had to remove all the obstacles in their chosen dragon’s way.

They could remove Fang Zhengzhi by saying that he was a threat to the stability of the empire.

But what if the person was going to be Yan Xiu?

Han Zhangfeng frowned. He could not treat Yan Xiu the same way he treated Fang zhengzhi.

If anyone in the Yan Family caught wind that Yan Xiu was under threat, the backlash would be uncontainable.

King Duan was different from Han Zhangfeng. He wanted to become the dragon. He wanted to rule the Great Xia Empire. That was a position of unmatched power, wealth, and fame.

That was what he was truly after.

However, in order to do so, King Duan needed to be sharp enough to get rid of all the obstacles in his way.

If the person in the prophecy was really Yan Xiu...

Then what was he to do?

Just as Han Zhangfeng and King Duan were deep in thought, the Ninth Prince gasped, then heaved a sigh of relief. However, no one knew what or who he was relieved about.

...

"Yan Xiu is in the Heavenly Reflection Realm!"

"16 year old Yan Xiu has really broken through!"

All of the candidates in the World of the Sage looked at Yan Xiu in awe.

Su Donglin felt the tide of the battle turn. The moment Yan Xiu was in the Heavenly Reflection State, then his Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan was incredibly scary.

The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan was a reflection of its user’s power.

Furthermore, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan had its own suppressive field. Combing the two fields, Su Donglin would need all his power in a 1v1.

More importantly, Yan Xiu was only 16. Heavenly Reflection State at 16...

Su Donglin would never be daring enough to antagonize a 16 year old Heavenly Reflection Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu was very different from Fang Zhengzhi.

Yan Xiu had the terrifying, intimidating Yan Family standing behind him.

Then...

His original plan could no longer work.

His eyes glimmered and he grit his teeth. His gaze quickly shifted from Yan Xiu to Fang Zhengzhi.

If Yan Xiu was in the Heavenly Reflection State, then the weakest person was naturally Fang Zhengzhi!

This was an easy decision, but not easy to execute. It would be difficult to defeat Fang Zhengzhi before the others had time to react.

Fang Zhengzhi was already in the Heavenly Reflection State, so he lost the advantage of a difference in cultivation level.

This made it at least 10 times more difficult.

But Su Donglin had no other choice.

He had to try.

Su Donglin did not turn the blade towards Fang Zhengzhi. Based on his own power, Fang Zhengzhi would react immediately or run if he saw the blade turn towards him.

That was not something he wanted.

As such, he decided to feint towards Yan Xiu. When Fang Zhengzhi came to help, he would turn around and attack Fang Zhengzhi.

However, before Su Donglin could attack Yan Xiu, Fang Zhengzhi ‘fell into the trap’ on his own accord.

He was also surrounded by the purple electricity, almost as if he was being strangled by a purple electric snake.

Boom!

Both of their electric fields clashed together in mid air, causing a loud crash.

At the same time, the purple electricity from each field interacted with each other, hissing and crackling, suppressing and attacking each other.

All of the surrounding candidates were greeted with yet another unbelievable sight even before they could react from the first one.

Because...

When Fang Zhengzhi’s electric field clashed with Su Donglin, it did not vaporize immediately. In fact, it held its own, forming a clear division between the two fields.

"How is this possible?!"

"There is no clear winner?"

"One is an advanced stage Heavenly Reflection State cultivator, the other just entered the state two months ago..."

"Why are they so evenly matched?"

All of the surrounding candidates could not believe their eyes.

Su Donglin himself could not believe it either. When Fang Zhengzhi’s electric field hit his, he felt a wave of unprecedented suppression.

He had a feeling that if he did not put everything he had into it, his own field would be suppressed.

This was something he could not bring himself to accept.

"How is that possible, how can you... be so evenly matched with me when it comes to field controlling?!" Su Donglin was wide eyed.

"Evenly matched?" Fang Zhengzhi was taken aback. This is evenly matched?

But he did not feel this way?

This was just very normal controlling...

What was going on?

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea, so he could not answer Su Donglin’s question.

...

King Duan and Han Zhangfeng were stunned as they watched the battle unfold.

Neither of them could believe that Fang Zhengzhi, who had just broken through, could force a tie with Su Dongling when it came to field controlling.

In this combat examination, Su Donglin’s greatest advantage was his cultivation level.

Advanced stage Heavenly Reflection Realm.

This meant that he had much more control over the various fields than anyone. When the fields clashed, his would generally suppress those of his opponent.

This was common sense.

However, Fang Zhengzhi defied all common sense.

"What is going on?" The two of them were confused.

In actual fact, Fang Zhengzhi’s experience was anything but normal.

Eight years ago, Fang Zhengzhi thought about cultivating after looking at the Illustration of all Creation.

Then, he officially became a cultivator after fighting with the Blue Fire Wolf.

In one year, he managed to attain the Star Conglomerate Realm smoothly.

Fang Zhengzhi had thought so for the longest time. He had no idea that after he had attained that state, he needed to link up the stars he collected with the outside world to attain Heavenly Reflection.

His idea was simple, collect more stars and raise his powers.

In actual fact, his ideas had shown results.

Upon collecting his second star, his power rose. This way, he kept thinking that the self proclaimed genius he was had found the right way.

As such, he began collecting the third star.

Each star represented another Dao in the Dao of All Creation.

There were the simple ones, wind, fire, lightning, ground. Then there were, flowers, grass, trees, wood, mountain, rivers...

In the end, after collecting everything there was around him, he even began to collect stars of the sun, moon, stars. He tried understanding everything he could.

In seven years, he never stopped trying to collect new stars and understand new elements. In the end, his pocket dimension had hundreds of stars.

He had thought that this made him immensely powerful.

However...

He quickly realized that he was wrong. Upon participating in the River of Trust Province Examinations, he realized that he was still in the Star Conglomerate State, and there was a Heavenly Reflection State above him.

In the Heavenly Treasure Hall, he understood a way for him to link up his pocket dimension with the real world.

This allowed him to breakthrough.

He did not need to train as hard as Yan Xiu, and he did not need to link up each item inside his pocket dimension individually with the outside world.

He had managed to attain the Heavenly Reflection State the moment he wanted to.

Because...

He was always in the Heavenly Reflection State!
