The garden was dead silent, everyone was speechless. They looked at the young man holding a sword upside down, as if a Fairy God, with looks of disbelief and shock in their eyes.
On the high platform, Ye Daoyuan’s normally calm appearance has finally shown a hint of surprise. The terror of this sword was beyond imagination. If it was wielded without warning, even he would not find it easy to cope with.
Even the empress, who been watching the competition with a smile, showed ripples in her eyes. The strength of this person in front of her was beyond her imagination, and that glimmer of sword light was something she would never forget for the rest of her life.
With just one sword, he killed two Heavenly Rank powerhouses.
After this battle, Pei Xuanjing’s reputation grew even stronger. Numerous young geniuses looked at the figure of Pei Xuanjing with adoration in their eyes.
And those Heavenly Rank powerhouses were filled with awe and sighed at his terrifying talent.
They knew that from this point forward, another supreme powerhouse would emerge under the heavens.
The title ‘Sword Saint’, which had just been proclaimed, was now accepted by everyone. People continuously opened their mouths and said: “Sword Saint!”
Sword Saint Pei Min!
The newly supreme powerhouse of the world, just sixteen years old.
Pei Xuanjing held the Longevity Sword upside down and looked around. Everyone his gaze touched avoided his eyes and dared not meet them.
[At the age of sixteen, you stood alone against two Heavenly Ranks and killed them, earning you the title of ‘Sword Saint’ from everyone.]
Pei Xuanjing said to the remaining Heavenly Rank powerhouses of the Da Li delegation: “Today, Pei Min has killed Feng Yan and Ashina Zhenlu here! If any of you are not satisfied, you can come and seek revenge from this young master!”
Upon hearing his words, many people in the Da Li delegation remained silent and dared not respond.
Even if those Heavenly Rank powerhouses were filled with immense resentment, they remained silent.
Cultivation is not easy, and no one is willing to risk their lives.
Moreover, they knew even better that after today, the relationship between the Great Tang and Da Li would be even more difficult to mend.
If all their Heavenly Rank powerhouses were to die here today, the young geniuses remaining in the delegation would not be able to return to Da Li.
It has to be known that every genius who came to the Great Tang as an envoy today is incredibly talented. For Da Li, the loss of any one of them is unbearable, let alone complete annihilation.
Therefore, even for the sake of their legacy, they did not dare to act rashly. All they could do was suppress the hatred in their hearts.
The power of a single person was so terrifying!
A sixteen-year-old powerhouse silenced the original boisterous Da Li delegation.
The other country’s delegations remained silent too, fearing to attract the attention of this particular individual.
Although they had planned to kill a supreme powerhouse in advance, once the target had shown his unmatched power, their original alliance naturally disbanded and no one dared to mention it any more.
Hehe.” Pei Xuanjing sneered but did not continue pressuring them, saying: “As you wish, if you want to take revenge in the future, feel free to find me, as long as you are not afraid of death.”
He paused and said loudly: “Also, please convey a message to the National Teacher of Da Li on my behalf. Tell him that I have been admiring his reputation for a long time, and I will surely visit the snowy mountain one day and discuss the Realm of Heavenly People with him.”
Hiss!
Everyone couldn’t help taking a deep breath. He actually wanted to challenge the National Teacher of Da Li.
There is a saying being circulated in this world: Heavenly Rank is divided into two kinds, one is the Heavenly Rank powerhouse, and the other is Ye Daoyuan and Red Sun Martial Venerate.
Simply put, although they are all considered Heavenly Ranks, in the eyes of the world, the rest of the Heavenly Ranks cannot be compared with Superintendent Ye Daoyuan and Da Li’s National Teacher, the Red Sun Martial Venerate.
Even though they were praising Pei Xuanjing as the Sword Saint, the supreme powerhouse of the world.
But when truly compared to Ye Daoyuan and Red Sun Martial Venerate, who are both on the brink of stepping into the Realm of Heavenly People, there is still a gap.
Perhaps Pei Min’s talent is terrifying, but he is still too young and has not yet fully transformed his talent into power.
He needs time; he needs time to accumulate experience to really stand shoulder to shoulder with those two powerhouses.
If he challenges them now, it might not be worth the cost.
As many people thought to their hearts, since the rise of this Sword Saint, he has never failed. The unrivaled stance he just displayed was extraordinary. If he were defeated by the national teacher of Da Li, even if he survived by chance, it would probably affect his Way.
As people of the Empire, they do not want to see such a genius cut down prematurely.
“Good! We will deliver your message!” One of the Heavenly Rank powerhouses in the Da Li delegation responded.
He couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased. Pei Min is extremely arrogant and seeking his own doom.
If the other party were to stay in the Great Tang Capital, even the National Teacher would be powerless to act against him. After all, there are numerous masters in this Great Tang Capital, and Ye Daoyuan presides over it.
But the fact that he dares to challenge the National Teacher is seeking his own death.
So he hurriedly agreed, fearing that the other party would renege.
Pei Xuanjing took in the gazes of the people around him, not caring in the slightest.
Just when everyone thought the incident was over for today, they saw Pei Xuanjing suddenly turn around to face the high platform, faintly opened his mouth and spoke:
“I have always heard of the Superintendent’s profound strength, almost bordering the Realm of Heavenly People. Therefore, I would dare to ask the Superintendent for guidance and witness his divine might.”
Boom!
The entire arena was in an uproar, everyone was shocked!
Although Pei Xuanjing’s words were very polite, his attitude was very clear.
He intended to challenge Superintendent Ye Daoyuan of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.
Who was Ye Daoyuan? He was born into a noble family, joined the Taoist School as a teenager, and later became…
If his legendary experiences were written into a book, who knows how many volumes it would take.
One thing is for certain, he is the number one master of this Great Tang Empire, suppressing the world for decades, no one dares to challenge his authority, even Red Sun Martial Venerate, the National Teacher of Da Li, held extreme fear of him.
But now, this Pei Min is challenging Ye Daoyuan, how could this not shock countless people?
Even if they just heard that he wanted to go into the prairie to challenge the National Teacher of Da Li, it was still just a thought, and not yet put into action.
Perhaps after waiting a few years, when his strength has greatly improved, it could be possible?
But, who would have thought that, with just a turn of his body, he is challenging Ye Daoyuan.
For a moment, everyone’s gaze fell on the Superintendent on the high seat, guessing what kind of reaction this Superintendent would have to such a challenge.
“Sir!” The crown prince couldn’t help but speak up, wanting to stop him.
Unfortunately, his words couldn’t be uttered before he heard Ye Daoyuan speak: “Since you are interested, I am naturally willing to accompany you.”
Originally, he was already very interested in this Pei Min. At first, he felt that the other party had extraordinary talent and wanted to bring him to the Capital for training.
Latter, this person went beyond his expectations in all aspects, giving him continuous surprises and delight.
He felt that maybe he could cultivate him into a suitable opponent, in order to hone himself and find an opportunity to break through to the Realm of Heavenly People.
The reason why the emperor allowed the other party to make a move just now was because he had spoken on his behalf.
