Xu Tianyuan sneered in his heart. As expected, these Senior Brothers that returned were not like Tao Gongming.
Xu Tianyuan thought that it was unlikely for someone to challenge him, and indeed, he didn't expect that someone would stand out the first time they met.
All the experts in the world were revered, who wouldn't want to be one?
Moreover, he had already reached the Xiantian realm in the sect, so how could he be satisfied with someone who had only arrived for a year becoming the Big Senior?
Everyone in the great hall came and left quickly.
A few "Senior Brothers" were still thinking about how many moves they should use to defeat Xu Tianyuan tomorrow.
Xu Tianyuan was already cultivating.
It was unknown how much time had passed by the time Uncle Le and the short man returned, but Xu Tianyuan did not leave the training hall anyway, and only stopped when it was lunchtime on the second day.
"Young master, you must kill in a bit!" Uncle Le said as he was carrying the dishes.
"You all know about it?" Xu Tianyuan looked at Mo'er, who was grinning as she stuck out her tongue. It was obvious that she had said it.
"Young master, you must win!" Mo'er shouted.
"Of course!"
As the weather turned hotter, there were very few people willing to go to the top of the mountain at noon, unless they practiced some sort of special technique.
Songyang Peak was a mountain that was slightly slanted to the west. It seemed to be bent by someone.
The trees above were similar to the other mountains. The top of the mountain wasn't too big, but there was a large stone table in the middle of it. The stone table was not as smooth as a mirror.
When the first man came up, he saw that someone was sitting here playing chess.
"Greetings sabre holding elder and Yao Lao!"
"Oh, you want to spar, right? Do as you please. We're here to play chess, so it won't affect you!" sabre holding elder did not care at all. Bai Zi descended from his hands and looked at Yao Lao with a smile, "Please!"
Yao Lao shook his head, "Every time you play chess, this is the only move you use. It's really meaningless!"
The first person who came first stood at the side and watched quietly. Since Xu Tianyuan had not arrived yet, it was natural that he would not be able to start.
A lot of people had come up the mountain to see if their senior brother could defeat this senior brother of theirs that they had never seen before.
The mountain breeze blew gently. There were no clouds in the sky, only the occasional bird. The green pine tree on the mountain peak swayed gently.
In particular, the two chess players didn't show any signs of strength, nor did they show any signs of nervousness. On the other hand, the chess players didn't show any sign of holding back, and the spectators all gave up breathing as if they were afraid of disturbing everyone.
"Why aren't you starting?"
"Nonsense, sabre holding elder and Yao Lao are playing chess, how do we start?"
"The way I see it, eldest senior brother hasn't come yet. It's almost noon, could it be that eldest senior brother has overtrained?"
"That's possible. It's said that it's normal for Eldest Brother to cultivate non-stop and not sleep for a month. If he really forgets the time and doesn't come, what should we do?"
The spectators all whispered.
The weapon in his hand was very strange, it was called a halberd, but it didn't seem like it. The sharpness of the halberd even revealed its true nature, no matter who it was, once it was stabbed through, blood would definitely shoot out from the wound, and even if they didn't die, half a bucket of blood would be poured out. This was a vicious weapon.
What a pity … This was not something ordinary cultivators could do. If it were ordinary soldiers or soldiers killing their enemies on the battlefield, then this was truly a good thing.
However, in the world of cultivation, these things were somewhat useless, unless they were aimed at people whose cultivation base was lower than theirs.
"Oh, this kid hasn't come yet. Don't tell me he overslept?" Yao Lao and Hei Zi landed and turned to take a look.
"Yao Lao, it's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs. Oversleeping is not something that can happen to me!" Xu Tianyuan's voice transmitted over, as though no one had noticed him coming up the mountain, he had actually already been standing at the side watching the two play chess.
Yao Lao was shocked, "What are you hiding behind me for?"
"I'm not hiding. I'm just watching the two play chess. I have something to ask of you."
"What?"
Xu Tianyuan pointed to the center of the chess board and asked, "Why is the Sky Origin Stage always so empty?"
"As long as you win. Why do you need to fall? Do you really think that just because you're, I will fall into your position? " Yao Lao laughed, "Go do what you need to do, stop jabbering!"
Xu Tianyuan had the nagging feeling that these two people had a deeper meaning when it came to chess. He had already felt a kind of concept from the moment he had stood there and watched chess.
Xu Tianyuan had finally appeared, and the surrounding disciples were loudly calling him "eldest senior brother".
The other senior brothers who had just returned were stunned. They didn't really understand what was going on.
Xu Tianyuan walked to the opposite of the senior brother: "May I ask for your name, senior brother?!"
"My name is Ren Zhan!"
"Oh!"
"Hmm?" Ren Zhan was startled, "What do you mean Oh? What do you mean?"
Senior Brother Ren Zhan, since you are already here, then let's fight. I am normally not interested in this kind of meaningless fight, but since you are senior brother, then it is embarrassing for me to reject you. Everyone has already waited for a long time, it is not easy to watch this fight by eating early, and you even climbed such a high mountain, you …
"So long-winded, where is your sword?" With a loud bang, Ren Zhan smashed the weapon in his hand onto the ground. It was obvious that this thing was very heavy.
Xu Tianyuan smiled slightly: "Truly a good weapon, but my weapon, will appear when the time comes. First, senior brother will show me the power I have to pull out my sword!"
"How dare you!" The one who shouted was not only Ren Zhan, but also a few other senior brothers who were beside him. They were extremely dissatisfied.
On the other hand, there was one person who was still watching the game by the two elders' side, neither arrogant nor impatient. Xu Tianyuan was extremely interested in the energy that was flowing through this person's body, and knew that this person should be the one who was at the peak Innate Realm as mentioned by Uncle Huang.
Xu Tianyuan provoked: "Don't just use your mouth to shout, you should hurry up and make a move. I'm very busy, and also need to prepare for the war of the sect, I still need to cultivate, but your mid-stage postcelestial, shouldn't be enough to participate in the war of the sect, right?"
Ren Zhan twisted the weapon in his hand, causing a large amount of powder to fall down from the stone floor. He glared: "You're courting death!"
Xu Tianyuan waved his hand: "Come!"
"Sky Breaking Battle Art, open up the mountain!"
He kicked with his foot, causing the bottom of the weapon to hang upside down, it spun around in his hand and flew up, smashing down towards Xu Tianyuan ruthlessly. With a slight movement of his leg, all the dust and rocks on the mountain flew out in all directions, causing the people around them to be in trouble.
This thing actually had the power to shatter the heavens and earth. The surrounding space whistled as it smashed towards Xu Tianyuan's head.
