Boom!

His body reached a limit, turning into a scorching fireball, like a star explosively detonating. The endless shockwaves surged in all directions.

Pei Xuanjing, the closest to the explosion, took the most severe hit. The circumstance his robust physique could not handle.

Thud…

Pei Xuanjing coughed up blood, his body tossed dozens of miles by the rolling surge of energy.

When he finally stopped, looking at the location where the two had clashed, he couldn’t hide his shock.

The intense explosion had leveled the mountain peak where the two had fought into a crater miles deep and several miles wide.

[At seventeen: ninth day of the ninth month, you clashed with the Red Sun Martial Venerate on an inconspicuous mountain peak on the plains. The two of you waged a shocking war, stunning countless people. In the end, you displayed the Shenxiao Heavenly Will Sword, while the Red Sun Martial Venerate strove for ascension, trying to forcefully breakthrough, consolidate the foundation of the Great Tao, combining the Red Sun and the Celestial Human into unity. Terrifying aura triggered the legendary Door of the Celestial. Unfortunately, the effort fell short at the last step. The intense explosion leveled the mountain, leaving a huge basin.]

“Sword Saint Pei Min fought with the Da Li National Master, both triggering a legendary battle, even triggering the legendary Door of the Celestial. Regrettably, the Red Sun Martial Venerate died failing the breakthrough, and Sword Saint Pei Min was seriously injured.”

“Sword Saint Pei Min, only seventeen years old, henceforward become the strongest under heaven, beyond dispute.”

“Sword Saint Pei Min withdrew alone, returned to the clouds, refusing to see anybody, seeming to have entered isolation for healing, unresponsive to the world.”

“With the demise of the Da Li National Master, Da Li lost its strongest who was restraining the dynasty, the Da Li Dynasty has entered a period of instability.”

“Numerous generals from the Great Tang Empire asked for permission to send troops to the prairie and eradicate Da Li. Though there was no final decision in the imperial court, the Sixteen Guards have been transferred, soldiers from various Zhechong Mansions were assembling, seemingly signifying an intention to dispatch troops.”

Countless news spread across the four corners, stirring up a storm across the world.

What caught people’s attention most was the seventeen-year-old Sword Saint who had truly defeated the renowned Red Sun Martial Venerate, leaving countless people astounded.

Furthermore, during their initial confrontation, they had triggered the Door of the Celestial. Even though the Red Sun Martial Venerate had failed in the end, many people were convinced that after this Sword Saint cultivates for another few years, he would definitely become a Celestial Human.

For a while, countless people wanted to visit and curry favor with this future Celestial Human. Numerous people idolized him and wanted to become his disciples.

Apart from this, there were the actions of the Great Tang Court. Da Li was initially established by the remnants of the Turks, becoming a major threat to the empire’s borders. However, it had been a temporary stalemate between the two sides due to the presence of the Red Sun Martial Venerate.

Now that the Red Sun Martial Venerate had died, the balance between the two sides was broken. Many people were waiting for the Great Tang to dispatch troops again to sweep the prairie, seeking to claim achievements.

Nations that had originally allied with Da Li were trembling, afraid of attracting the imperial military.

For a moment, there was a great turmoil under the heavens, countless people were excited, seeing it as an opportunity to rise to power.

“A Celestial Human, huh?”

Pei Xuanjing sat quietly in the attic, muttering to himself.

While he had won the battle, he didn’t seem particularly pleased because he didn’t feel like he truly won.

The Red Sun Martial Venerate had lost, but not to Pei Xuanjing, rather to himself.

At the end, the Red Sun Martial Venerate exhaustively ascended, burning everything he had, trying to forcefully chew out a projection of the foundation of the Great Tao due to Pei Xuanjing’s attack, trying to step into the realms of the Celestial Human.

His idea could be described as extremely crazy, but it wasn’t entirely impossible. He had even triggered the appearance of the legendary Door of the Celestial at the end.

If the Red Sun Martial Venerate had a bit more foundation at the end, if he had a bit more energy to push that heavenly gate, he could have become a Celestial Human.

Regrettably, his attempt to forcefully breakthrough and transcend exhausted every bit of his power, seizing his chance to succeed, leaving him with an incomplete result.

“What a pity!” Pei Xuanjing sighed.

After this battle, Pei Xuanjing gained a lot.

The appearance of the Door of the Celestial Human revealed all the truths of heaven and earth at that moment. Although it didn’t last long, Pei Xuanjing gained many insights.

In that short period, he understood a lot about the Celestial Human Realm.

One could say, in terms of insights into the Celestial Human Realm, he surpassed all the strong ones in this world. After all, even people like Ye Daoyuan hadn’t had the opportunity to observe the Door of the Celestial so closely and comprehend the Dao of the Celestial Human.

Pei Xuanjing’s awe-inspiring battle shook the world, but he disappeared from everyone’s sight when he was at his peak. Countless people’s visits ended in vain.

According to the given explanation from the people at Pei Mansion, Pei Xuanjing again roamed the world to chase the path of cultivation, one man, one sword.

Of course, that was just the public explanation. Actually, after leaving some Cultivation Method for Mr. Pei Laozhu, Pei Xuanjing chose an unremarkable mountain range for secluded cultivation.

Given this world’s concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, even an ordinary mountain range is more spiritually abundant than any mountain range in the Daming World before its resurrection.

After Pei Xuanjing set up some formations, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in this common mountain range didn’t lose to many spiritual mountains.

Originally, Mr. Pei Laozhu thought Pei Xuanjing’s secluded cultivation would end in two or three years. But no one expected that it would last for ten years.

Ten years time, passed in a flash.

In these ten years, numerous significant events happened in the World of Myriad Manifestations, even the layout of the world underwent significant changes.

Not long after Pei Xuanjing entered seclusion, the impact of his battle with the Red Sun Martial Venerate became apparent.

First, without the Red Sun Martial Venerate’s suppression, Da Li Dynasty’s internal power struggles escalated severely. Rifts erupted among the groups that had formed the alliance.

Then, the Great Tang Court finally made a decision. They would send troops north to wipe out the Turkic remnants, ensuring border stability.

The next year, they assembled a million soldiers to invade the prairie. Without the Red Sun Martial Venerate’s suppression, the remaining Da Li powerhouses were not a match for the empire’s troops. Even if they fought to the death, they were still futile.

In just two short years, when the Great Tang Empire displayed its might, Da Li, which was once ambitious, collapsed with a bang. The prairie became Imperial’s pasture, a kingdom destroyed, cities broken.

This horrific military might shook the four corners of the world. The imperial army made forays on all sides, sweeping across countless small countries. This brought about the submission of the four corners, none dared question the majesty of the empire.

As a result, the current emperor of Great Tang is considered to have performed distinguished service and could be compared to the previous Taizong Emperor.
