A massive wind surged up. It was as if the Windswept Realm was building up power, which could explode out at any moment.
Once that power erupted, the Nine Nations would be swept into war, a war between all cultivators. It heralded... the Echelon battles!
It would determine who was truly number one in the Echelon, who was the true peak power amongst them. To become an Echelon cultivator, one had to be a Chosen among Chosen in any given Mountain and Sea. They were people who could, based on their own cultivation base... challenge experts above their own level!
Blazing suns like that were people who wouldn't easily accept being inferior to others; they were people who strove to be the champion of their generation!
Actually... despite the fact that young man from the First Mountain and Sea was publicly acknowledged as the number one in the Echelon... how could the others fear him?!
