124: Shock the high-ranking figures of the Cloud Palace

If Long Aotian slapping Nangong Baobao into a serious injury and then throwing him out like trash went unnoticed by others, then the second time he threw Ju Gaogao out, almost two to three hundred high-ranking Cloud Palace figures noticed this scene.

First were the two hundred high-ranking figures within Cloud Peak, whose attention was successfully drawn by Ju Gaogao’s loud and angry voice.

Especially since this was done within Cloud Peak.

Next were the other Peak Lords, Deputy Peak Lords, and others who were accelerating their flight to Cloud Peak to attend the Promotion Ceremony; many had already arrived at the entrance of Cloud Peak, their Divine Sense having penetrated Cloud Peak, and they observed this astonishing scene from afar.

So, the person who threw Nangong Baobao out of Cloud Peak, causing Nangong Baobao to wet himself in fear, was not the Grand Elder or the Palace Lord, but this elegant, seemingly harmless young man in front of them?

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned!

What was Nangong Baobao’s cultivation Realm?

Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm!

And what was Ju Gaogao’s cultivation Realm?

Also Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm!

However, compared to Nangong Baobao, Ju Gaogao was a Prodigy capable of fighting across three minor Realms.

That is to say, Ju Gaogao’s strength was comparable to an Early Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert.

Yet, he was still no match for Long Aotian in a single exchange, and even before he could react, let alone resist, he was directly thrown out like trash.

What was even more terrifying was the immense power with which he was thrown, at least tens of thousands of miles away; Ju Gaogao and Nangong Baobao couldn't resist this force, letting this terrifying power carry them away with looks of utter despair.

Stunned!

Shocked and stunned!

Those who knew who Long Aotian was were fine, but those who didn't know who Long Aotian was were completely bewildered.

Especially after they discerned Long Aotian’s cultivation Realm, they were even more dumbfounded.

A Seventh Revolution Mahayana Realm Cultivator crushing a Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm Cultivator?

Were they sure they weren't seeing things, a mere illusion?

However, the shock continued!

Long Aotian’s current height was still a fatal flaw; he hadn't grown to the standard height of a Cultivator. At under thirteen years old, others could easily judge his age from his height as under sixteen.

Yes, for Cultivators, males generally reach their full height at sixteen, and females at fifteen during their coming-of-age ceremony; by then, they are considered adult Cultivators.

Of course, ordinary Mortals can continue to grow until their twenties, but Cultivators are different; their growth rate is much faster than ordinary Mortals. If not controlled, they could grow to two meters by fifteen or sixteen. Although Long Aotian is currently under thirteen, his height has already reached 1.6 meters.

Generally, the average height of Cultivators is five to fifteen centimeters taller than ordinary Mortals.

If a standard must be given, it is that Cultivators, regardless of gender, control their height between 1.7 and 1.9 meters; the minimum standard is 1.7 meters, and the maximum is 1.9 meters. They cannot be too tall, or they would become anomalies.

Most Cultivators take the median value, 1.8 meters.

Long Aotian’s current height is only 1.6 meters. He is a Cultivator, and others can tell from his height that he is not yet fifteen or sixteen years old.

Long Aotian is not currently controlling his height growth because he hasn't been able to Cultivate for over two years. In terms of height growth, compared to other Cultivators who started Cultivating at eight or even earlier, his height is undoubtedly shorter than his peers. Controlling his growth further would only make him even shorter.

Currently, his height increases by about an inch every six months, which is approximately three centimeters. By the time he reaches sixteen years old, Long Aotian will have about six or seven growth spurts of approximately three centimeters, with his final height around 1.8 meters, which is also a relatively average height... It is precisely because Long Aotian’s age was judged to be young from his height that those high-ranking Cloud Palace figures who didn't know his true identity were stunned, and even those who did know his true identity were equally stunned.

This young man, at such a young age, is already a Seventh Revolution Mahayana Realm Cultivator, and with a mere flick of his hand, he actually threw out Nangong Baobao and Ju Gaogao, these two Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm experts, like trash?

And judging by the distance Nangong Baobao and Ju Gaogao were thrown, they also noticed something: Nangong Baobao and Ju Gaogao were actually unable to resist the force with which they were thrown?

Just how terrifying must this young man’s true strength be?

At this moment, all the high-ranking Cloud Palace figures who witnessed this scene were utterly shocked!

Those high-ranking Cloud Palace figures who originally harbored affection for Ao Jingtain, considering her their dream lover and forbidden treasure, were enraged when they saw Long Aotian holding Ao Jingtain’s hand. However, seeing Ju Gaogao being casually thrown out like trash by Long Aotian with no power to resist, they couldn't help but douse themselves with several buckets of cold water.

Damn it, if even these two formidable individuals, Nangong Baobao and Ju Gaogao, were no match for this young man in a single exchange, then surely going up to provoke him would be asking for a beating?

“This young man is with the Dragon Peak Lord; could he be Long Aotian, the Deputy Peak Lord of Dragon Peak who is to be promoted?”

Soon, a high-ranking Cloud Palace figure asked doubtfully.

“That’s right, it’s him. Six months ago, he was chased by Wu Xin, the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and managed to escape calmly. Wu Xin is a Middle Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert, whose strength is comparable to a Late Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivator. The Cloud Palace and the four Middle Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts of the Imperial Family had to join forces to finally defeat her. Yet, it is said that after failing to capture Long Aotian, this Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace turned around to protect the Long family and even helped the Long family eliminate the remnants of their enemies...”

“This... a mysterious operation! But it also shows that Long Aotian is extraordinary and qualified to become the Deputy Peak Lord of Dragon Peak.”

“Yes, especially since he threw out Nangong Baobao and Ju Gaogao like trash. Nangong Baobao is the strongest Deputy Peak Lord of Thunder Peak, and Ju Gaogao is the Second Protector, ranking among the top three in strength among the Ten Protectors. The combat power Long Aotian displayed is in no way inferior to that of the other eleven Peak Lords!”

“Heh heh, after Nangong Baobao and Ju Gaogao caused such a commotion, Long Aotian’s Promotion Ceremony will likely have few blind individuals daring to challenge him further.”

“Indeed, this kid’s methods are quite wild. Who would want to be thrown out of Cloud Peak like trash in broad daylight?”

“Haha... I wonder if those two guys, Nangong Baobao and Ju Gaogao, will still come back to attend Long Aotian’s Promotion Ceremony? Those two must have lost all face today.”

“Haha... I can imagine how sour their faces would be if they came back for the Promotion Ceremony...”
