Chapter 162: Guest Scholar's Assessment, the Grand Master's Arrival (Part 1)
Chapter 162: Guest Scholar's Assessment, the Grand Master's Arrival (Part 1)
The snow-covered path, paved with green stones, seemed to come alive like a giant dragon, causing the accumulated snow on the mountain path to cascade down like an avalanche.
As the One-Sleeve Elder took a step onto the green stones, his aura became overwhelmingly different.
It was as if he had suddenly awakened, like a fierce tiger opening its eyes, shaking the heavens and the earth.
With a shout of respect to the mountain, the sound waves exploded like thunder!
The surging airflow rose like a tide, forcefully blocking the falling avalanche of snow.
Countless white dust particles were stirred up, resembling a white river wave.
Then, the One-Sleeve Elder began to walk, and with just one step, his body shot up like a cannonball.
His speed was incredibly fast, reaching an extreme limit.
Even faster than an arrow leaving the bowstring!
Whoosh!
The cold winter wind was completely suppressed, and an indescribable might emanated from the One-Sleeve Elder, distorting the air around him and forming a unique domain.
The scorching essence qi rose, causing the snow-covered mountains to steam and the void to become hazy.
It was as if a great sun had risen from the foot of the mountain, radiating light and heat.
Grand Master!
At this moment, the entire Jin Guang Branch Sect trembled.
Within the mountain gate, disciples from various peaks and veins were all shaken, startled by the commotion.
Almost simultaneously, on several peaks within the branch sect, powerful auras twisted and burst forth.
On Thunder Peak, Li Qingshan's face darkened with anger. He clenched his five fingers, and the twin-horned hammer slid into his palm, which he then lifted.
The gate swung open, and he strode out, his divine appearance qi erupting as if a thunder god with wings on his back was spanning the heavens and earth.
On Two Sleeves Peak, Elder Zhang Qingzheng, a Confucian scholar, was reading a book when he suddenly stopped, his anger uncontrollable.
Taking a step forward, he swept out, carrying him along in a mighty gust.
On Red Cloud Peak, Zhu Hongdou was polishing her red divine spear when she sensed the grandmaster's aura erupting from the foot of the mountain.
Without hesitation, she drew her spear and shot out.
On Southern Mountain Peak, the oldest elder, Weng Wuyu, lightly sighed, tapping his peach wood cane as he stepped forward.
On Golden Light Peak, Nan Li Huo's face remained calm, his white robe fluttering in the wind.
Beside him, Taoist Priest Wang Kuyu's expression became increasingly bitter.
"As you predicted, Brother, he couldn't stay away and has finally arrived."
"Paying respects to the mountain is just a show of strength."
Wang Kuyu shook his head softly.
Nan Li Huo smiled, "No, it's not just a show of strength... it's a test."
"A test?"
Wang Kuyu asked in confusion.
"He's testing you, Brother..."
"On the surface, the Young Marquis is here to witness Xi Xi and see the caliber of the native divine child of Jin Guang Prefecture. But in reality, having a Grand Master pay respects to the mountain..."
"Is indeed a test of your strength, Brother, as the true representative of the Divine Sect."
"After all, our Jin Guang Branch Sect is a branch of the Divine Sect. With a true representative present, they wouldn't stand idly by, also representing the Divine Sect."
"By having a Grand Master pay respects, he wants to see if the Divine Sect has sent a Divine Essence True Man this time."
Nan Li Huo's white robe flapped in the wind, his white hair blowing wildly.
Wang Kuyu, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned.
"Ah..."
"Just as you predicted."
Nan Li Huo looked at Wang Kuyu with profound meaning.
Sometimes, the choice to fight or not is not in one's hands.
Without further words, the One-Sleeve Elder, with his sleeves fluttering, took a step back, and then descended, landing on the grand plain of Golden Light Peak.
Liu Yangyuan and Sang Guanyin arrived one after the other.
Xi Xi, the chubby Zhou Peng, the stunningly beautiful Yun E, and numerous top-grade and high-grade spiritual children gathered around.
"Sect Master!" Xi Xi exclaimed with excitement, her eyes wide.
"Shh... Xi Xi, you shouldn't say such things randomly," Zhou Peng hurriedly warned, his face flushing.
Xi Xi tilted her head, "But they're provoking us. Isn't paying respects to the mountain a way of challenging us?"
Zhou Peng's face turned red, like a spinning rattle drum, "Of course not. That person is a Grand Master... who can fight against a Grand Master?"
"Unless our sect's Grand Masters come running or a Divine Essence True Man intervenes... otherwise, we'll probably get beaten up."
"A Grand Master's physical body is flawless and indestructible, forming an unbreakable Vajra body. Their internal organs are refined to perfection, with qi flowing through every part of their body and hundred openings, condensing into a divine aura. Their spirit, essence qi, and physical body fuse to form a human treasure pill!"
Zhou Peng took a deep breath, explaining the power of a Grand Master to Xi Xi.
Xi Xi opened her mouth in awe, her eyes sparkling, "How many fireworks would it take to explode shit?"
Zhou Peng: "..."
Well, that's it. This girl only thinks about fighting.
She shows no fear even towards a Grand Master...
She's truly... incredibly bold!
No wonder she's a child of the Ox.
Yun E covered her mouth and whispered something to Xi Xi, who immediately became solemn.
Nan Li Huo arrived with his hands behind his back, glancing at the group of children without stopping them.
He wasn't worried that the Young Marquis would dare to unleash chaos within the Jin Guang Branch Sect's mountain gate.
After all, they still needed the Jin Guang Branch Sect to open the Temple God Resonance.
This was likely just a show of respect to the mountain, using his aura to suppress his peers and intimidate the divine and spiritual children of the Divine Sect, preventing them from performing well during the Temple God Resonance.
Boom, boom, boom...
The entire peak shook.
The four divine appearance elders arrived one after the other, landing on Golden Light Peak.
Li Qingshan's face darkened, and he gripped his twin-horned hammer, feeling the suffocating pressure that made it hard to breathe. He adjusted his breath, calming his internal qi.
A Grand Master...
Their physical body is flawless and indestructible, forming an unbreakable Vajra body. Their internal organs are refined to perfection, with qi flowing through every part of their body and hundred openings, condensing into a divine aura. Their spirit, essence qi, and physical body fuse to form a human treasure pill!
When the pill is formed, their will becomes divine!
The most terrifying aspect of a Grand Master is their terrifying martial arts will!
Li Qingshan has only reached the perfection of the sect master realm, mastering the true intent ultimate skill Eight Dragons Stirring the River, refining five essence qi dragon heads.
But to reach the Grand Master realm is a distant dream.
Understanding the true intent, refining the internal organs, and cultivating an ultimate skill to the transformation realm, giving birth to a true intent domain, is the perfection of the sect master realm. It seems just one step away from the Grand Master realm.
In reality, this step was far more challenging than anyone could have imagined.
Just as Yuan Xiang wanted to cross the barriers and step into the Divine Foundation Realm, becoming a Divine Essence True Man, the difficulty was even greater!
A Grand Master, placed in a blood-soaked battlefield, was enough to rival a thousand armies without defeat.
And these weren't ordinary soldiers; they were the most elite and battle-hardened warriors of the Grand View Dynasty—the Ironclad Army!
Even a Grand Master at the initial stage of the Divine Aura, looking across the entire Dao City, would be considered a top-tier expert!
Nan Lihuo's expression remained calm, his divine perception expanding to shoulder all the terrifying auras, ensuring the Divine Children wouldn't be affected.
When the Young Marquis entered Jin Guang Prefecture, he had anticipated this situation, so he wasn't surprised.
As the son of Prince of Peace Ji Mo Li, such domineering behavior was entirely understandable.
Boom—
A sound tore through the sky, and a one-armed old man descended upon the mountain peak.
With each step, it seemed like the entire mountain forest trembled, and countless plants, mud, and sand shook violently.
Countless air currents solidified, tearing through the air, and the entire mountain peak echoed with continuous rumbling!
The old man landed before the Great Plain.
His black hair danced in the wind, and the empty sleeve of his plain robe fluttered in the air. Although he wore only straw sandals, no one dared to underestimate his imposing manner.
"Divine Aura Grand Master... Xue Duofu."
Nan Lihuo murmured softly.
He was well-versed in the experts accompanying Ji Mo Li.
Xue Duofu slowly opened his eyes, and in an instant, the wind and snow on the entire mountain peak suddenly ceased.
It was as if the night sky had been enveloped by an even denser and deeper darkness, shrouding everything in gloom.
This was the martial will of a Grand Master!
Xue Duofu didn't take any action; he merely displayed his martial will, and it was already incredibly oppressive.
Nan Lihuo's expression turned solemn, and a divine appearance emerged from his back, radiating a dazzling golden light.
His entire body resonated with a hum, for he was a Grand Master with a perfected martial body. His flesh couldn't help but emit a brilliant buzzing sound.
This was a self-defense mechanism triggered by sensing the martial will.
"Ah..."
A soft sigh suddenly echoed from within the temple.
Xue Duofu's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked up, his black firewood blade at his waist beginning to tremble.
Inside the temple, a Taoist slowly emerged.
"Xue Duofu, if you want to pay respects to the mountain, why be so domineering? Your martial will is like a raging fire; how can these children bear it?"
"You've gone too far."
The Taoist sighed again.
The next moment, he flicked his hand, and the whisk in his hand began to shake.
With his hands forming seals, his entire being exuded divine essence, and a golden pill began to float and spin behind him.
Within the pill, a divine appearance was hidden, radiating a dazzling golden light.
Countless divine essences, divine intents, and primordial spirits were contained within.
Divine Essence Golden Core!
As soon as this Divine Essence Golden Core appeared, a terrifying aura surged from the Taoist, like a tidal wave, fiercely clashing with Xue Duofu's martial true intent!
Boom—!!!
It was like the heavens had struck a drum, muffling the explosion!
Xue Duofu couldn't help but take a step back, his face slightly changing color.
His palm had already landed on the firewood blade at his waist.
"Divine Essence True Man?"
"Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Wang Kuyu... You've broken through to the Divine Essence realm?"
Xue Duofu took a deep breath, feeling the boiling divine essence stage suppression, forcibly suppressing his martial true intent.
His expression became increasingly solemn.
Just as the Young Marquis had guessed, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect had indeed sent a Divine Essence True Man.
The entire Jin Guang Prefecture was filled with silence.
Li Qingshan, Zhu Hongdou, and the other Divine Appearance Elders all turned around in disbelief.
They felt the terrifying stage suppression that made it nearly impossible for them to operate and flow their divine essences and appearances...
Their hearts trembled with shock.
Divine Essence True Man!
The Sect Master's senior brother had successfully condensed the Divine Essence Golden Core, surviving nine deaths, and had become a Divine Essence True Man!
Nan Lihuo turned around, his deep gaze carrying a hint of relief.
...
...
The entire Jin Guang Prefecture City was shaken.
When the Young Marquis visited the Jin Guang Branch Sect with a Grand Master to pay respects, all the powerful figures within the prefecture were startled.
The Divine Appearance Ancestors of the Qin, Hai, Gong, and Gongshe families all soared into the sky, sensing from afar.
This was a Grand Master...
A Martial Grand Master could even contend with a Divine Essence True Man!
If this Martial Grand Master had also stepped into the Divine Essence realm, it would be even more terrifying!
However, Xue Duofu hadn't reached the Divine Essence realm in terms of divine essence; he was only at the latter stage of the Divine Appearance realm.
This was because he devoted most of his efforts to martial cultivation, which naturally slowed down his divine essence cultivation.
"A Grand Master..."
The Divine Appearance Ancestors' expressions changed repeatedly, filled with inexplicable reverence.
However, they also knew that this battle couldn't be fought. The Young Marquis had come to pay respects and meet the Divine Children; there was no way he would take actual action.
But soon, the Divine Appearance Ancestors' expressions changed again.
Because an even more powerful aura than the Grand Master's martial will erupted, and from a distance, they seemed to glimpse the terrifying Divine Essence Golden Core!
"Divine Essence True Man?!"
At this moment, the Divine Appearance Ancestors of the various families finally understood the Young Marquis's intention.
He wanted to gauge the depth of the Divine Sect's roots in Jin Guang Prefecture!
The Divine Sect had hidden a Divine Essence True Man in Jin Guang Prefecture!
This was something no one had expected.
...
...
Cliffside Treasure Tower.
Celestial Bureau.
Examination Room.
Li Che's gaze fell upon the white-robed figure and the child by his side.
A familiar feeling washed over him.
Sleeve Crossbow, Thousand Spider Threads...
Li Che shook his sleeve, and the crossbow and spider threads hidden within it became uncomfortably hot at this moment.
However, Li Che's expression suddenly changed.
The Thunderbolt Chess Piece left on Xixi suddenly sensed what was happening on Jin Guang Peak.
Even without the chess piece's perception, the powerful aura on Jin Guang Peak was enough to give them a basic understanding.
The Inspector and the Deputy Inspector from the Dao City's Celestial Bureau exchanged glances and simultaneously vanished from the room.
At the top of the tower in the Celestial Bureau's Treasure Tower, he gazed towards the mountain gate of the Jin Guang Branch Sect.
"As expected, the son of Ji Mo Li, unparalleled in his dominance, has indeed emerged for a trial..."
"Unbelievable, Wang Kuyu has actually condensed the Divine Essence Golden Core between life and death, breaking through to the Divine Essence Realm, achieving the position of a True Man.
