Chapter 291: A Real Sect Master

Chapter 291: A Real Sect Master

"Aren't we still letting Wang Xuan off easy?" a handsome young man spoke up, observing Wang Xuan from a distance. Despite his youthful appearance, he had already reached the realm of 'Xiaoyao You' in the higher spirit world, capable of traversing thousands of miles with a single thought. However, having suffered grievous injuries during the cross-realm journey, he now barely surpassed the 'Caiyao' level, just managing to hold his ground in the fifth segment of the mortal realm.

A beautiful woman next to Cao Qingyu, radiating an ethereal aura, suggested, "Should we test him? If we can subdue him, we should capture him immediately! According to the latest information, the situation beyond the veil is quite intense. Our ancestral master might cross over soon, having abandoned the struggle for the 'Xiaoyao Zhou'."

The sudden appearance of such a treasure before the veil's extinguishing had led even the most exceptional beings to forsake all else in pursuit of it.

The 'Xiaoyao Zhou,' renowned for traversing all higher spirit worlds, could reach realms even the immortals couldn't. Once, someone navigated it into the highest spirit world and harvested two celestial herbs, establishing an unparalleled foundation.

Cao Qingyu's expression turned serious as he added, "Not just that, the 'Ren Shi Jian' has also been sighted, its brilliant sword light briefly slicing open the realm of the immortals in a soon-to-be-extinguished veil."

The group was visibly shaken, their expressions changing dramatically.

"The 'Ren Shi Jian' has appeared too? It's been missing for countless years and was rumored to be in the mortal world, not beyond the veil," someone remarked. Rumored to be indestructible, capable of cutting through the veil itself, obtaining this treasure could free the immortals from their confinement.

The 'Ren Shi Jian,' 'Xiaoyao Zhou,' 'Yangsheng Lu,' 'Yuhua Fan,' and several other treasures each possessed unique and extraordinary powers, surpassing all other artifacts.

The simultaneous emergence of two such treasures was unprecedented and astonishing.

"Could this be misinformation, or deliberately misleading? The 'Ren Shi Jian' shouldn't be appearing beyond the veil," someone speculated.

Cao Qingyu shook his head, "It seems genuine. An immortal being was severely wounded by its sword qi, something ordinary weapons couldn't achieve."

"The world is in turmoil. The appearance of these two treasures marks an unprecedented event. Whoever obtains one might just survive the extinction of the mythological era and preserve their transcendent powers."

Meanwhile, Kong Yun, Huang Ming, and other descendants of mythical beings also discussed the matter, wondering how two such treasures could emerge at the end of an era, offering a glimmer of hope in desperate times.

"Our demon clan's exceptional being, as reported, was planning to cross the veil, but stopped to pursue the 'Ren Shi Jian.' If she obtains it, she can undoubtedly carve her way out of the immortal realm on her own strength," Kong Yun murmured in awe, recalling how the peerless demon immortal once vied for the 'Yangsheng Lu,' frightening various clans into retreat and personally slaying exceptional beings.

Now, as she prepares to act again, the situation beyond the veil stirs dramatically.

"That's Wang Xuan," a woman beside Zhou Shiqi pointed out, indicating the young man in the distance whom Shiqi had been eager to meet.

Despite the recent appearances of the 'Ren Shi Jian' and 'Xiaoyao Zhou,' not everyone who obtains such treasures might be willing to lead others from different factions out of the veil.

Any exceptional being who masters such a treasure instantly becomes invincible, free to roam all realms unopposed, posing a grave threat to others.

Therefore, some ancestral masters have abandoned the struggle for these treasures, opting to enter the mortal world directly.

"How can we persuade him to help us and invite our ancestral master across the veil?" Zhou Shiqi pondered, her delicate nose wrinkling in thought.

"Of course, by marrying him," a woman playfully suggested. "An immortal beauty of renown from the immortal realm marrying a mortal would surely entice him."

Another girl nodded in agreement, "Exactly, a near-celestial beauty from the immortal realm becoming the companion of a mortal, what could he possibly be dissatisfied with?"

"Don't speak nonsense," Shiqi chided, her pert nose crinkling. While some in her faction advocated a conciliatory approach, others considered alternate strategies.

"Such a pity, though, he's just a newcomer to the transcendent realm, unworthy of Shiqi," someone remarked.

However, he was overly optimistic.

Wang Xuan activated the stone tablet scripture, his body radiating a dazzling secret power. He formed hand seals like blooming lotuses, unleashing terrifying transcendent energy.

"Seal, break!" he thundered, uttering these two true words. Jiang Yuan's attacks were instantly nullified, his sword light dimming as if frozen, and his light chains halted, hanging silently in mid-air.

As Wang Xuan's hand gestures changed, the 'Seal' transformed into 'Break', shattering the sword light and breaking the light chains. With a loud thump, his hand seal hit Jiang Yuan, sending him flying back, blood spilling from his mouth in disbelief.

"How is this possible?" Jiang Yuan, a descendant of the immortals and a practitioner of immortal techniques, felt a primal fear facing Wang Xuan's true words, as if a herbivore facing a predator.

"What technique is he practicing?" Jiang Yuan wondered, his heart pounding with curiosity and doubt.

Wang Xuan didn't reveal that he was using the highest scriptures, for which even the immortals behind the curtain had once fought to the death, with supreme masters perishing because of it.

The crowd was astounded. Jiang Yuan, a descendant of the immortals and a master from behind the curtain, had been defeated so cleanly?

Many were speechless, their eyes filled with newfound respect for Wang Xuan, who had exceeded their expectations.

"After last night's collapse of the transcendent aftereffects, he wasn't affected?" Huang Ming whispered from a distance, knowing Wang Xuan's background well.

Was Wang Xuan not weakened by the changing environment but instead had grown stronger? Huang Ming was dumbfounded at this revelation.

"In this world, to achieve this level, he truly is an anomaly," someone near Zhou Shiqi murmured, finding Wang Xuan's performance exceedingly unusual.

Zhong Qing was stunned, not expecting Wang Xuan to defeat a descendant of the immortals so swiftly.

Zhou Shiqi, once almost divine herself, was equally surprised. How did Wang Xuan cultivate to such a level in this world?

"Old Wang, awesome!" Zhong Cheng exclaimed, feeling exhilarated. Even descendants of immortals were no match here.

A young man in a T-shirt and jeans from Cao Qingyu's group stepped forward, challenging, "Let me spar with you."

From outside the lawn, another voice called out, "Enough already, one after another, when will it end? If you insist on fighting, then spar with me. In this world, there's not only Wang Xuan but also a 'Chen Patriarch.'"

A young man radiating Buddha's light, majestic and divine, approached, wielding a black sword about one and a half meters long.

The man in the T-shirt and jeans didn't stop but instead asked, "Monk, you want to spar with me?"

Without a word, Chen Yongjie drew his long sword and struck, bathed in a brilliant Buddha's light like an angry deity.

Sword clashing and Buddha's light surging, Chen Yongjie overwhelmed the man. After several clashes, he placed his sword at the man's neck, drawing a line of blood. One more push, and the head would fall.

"Take note, I'm a patriarch of this world, not a Buddha. Watch your words!" Chen Yongjie sternly warned his family nearby!

His confidence was genuine, unfazed whether his opponent was a descendant of immortals or not, because, in ancient times, he indeed would have been a patriarch.

The scene fell silent, awe-struck. Two seemingly ordinary transcendents had just dominated their group?
