Even though Xue Hanyi had used his terrifyingly formidable killing technique, he still ended up losing the battle, which sparked speculations about just how strong Pei Xuanjing actually was.

“Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm, Fifth Order!”

“Brother Pei has actually reached the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm!”

“A Grand Master! Even in the glorious days of the Tang Dynasty, thousands of years ago, a person of these capabilities would have been capable of ruling over an entire region!”

With the constant emergence of Blessed Lands and Forbidden Places, they had gathered a lot of information about cultivation during the Tang Dynasty. They understood what reaching the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm entailed.

They each let out a sigh of admiration in their hearts; the complexity of their feelings was indescribable.

They knew that compared to the fourteen individuals who had just broken through to the Spiritual Realm, Pei Xuanjing was undoubtedly considered their junior. The shortest period anyone among them had spent on cultivation was still over thirty years more than Pei Xuanjing, with some, like Elder Celestial, having spent close to two hundred years.

Yet, this junior of theirs, who came from behind, had, in a mere decade or so, transitioned from an unknown nobody to the unquestionable number one person in the world.

After the revival of Heaven and Earth, they entered the Spiritual Realm after several years of reference to the inheritance in the Blessed Lands and Forbidden Places, believing they had shortened the gap with Pei Xuanjing. That’s why they decided to challenge him.

So, even though they lost, they didn’t really mind and were even more motivated than before.

But when Xue Hanyi revealed that Pei Xuanjing had actually reached the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm, everyone had mixed feelings, unsure how to describe their thoughts.

“However, maybe Brother Pei was just lucky.” Zhao Baiyang thought to himself.

Some of them felt slightly relieved.

Firstly, as the current heads of the world’s major forces, they truly didn’t want to see the return of those formidable figures.

Because they know that if they wait for the return of those ancient powers, unless they’re willing to become vassals and willingly hand over what they control, a clash between the two parties would be inevitable.

After all, they could say that they had already occupied ninety percent of the world, and with the revival of Heaven and Earth, their interests naturally increased.

Even if they were extremely curious about these ancient powers, they definitely did not want them to return and seize their benefits.

Pei Xuanjing, who was able to see through the expressions of Zhao Baiyang and the others as if he could read their minds, knew that they each had their own thoughts about these matters.

But at this moment, he didn’t have the time to converse with Zhao Baiyang and the others; all his attention was focused on Xue Hanyi and Xue Hanyue.

He waved his hand and appeared in front of Xue Hanyi and Xue Hanyue. His soft voice fell into their ears.

“May I ask if you’re still willing to take action?”

“I lost!” Xue Hanyi promptly conceded defeat.

As the prodigy of the ancient country, he was proud, but he also knew when to admit defeat. Facing Pei Xuanjing, such a strong opponent, he didn’t choose to resist forcibly but chose to concede defeat decisively.

Pei Xuanjing was taken aback, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Honestly, even though he had defeated them, he didn’t expect them to concede defeat and submit so readily.

In his mind, shouldn’t such characters resist to the end, preferring death to submission?

Pei Xuanjing miscalculated. In this world, where would there be people who didn’t know to adapt to the situation?

Moreover, strictly speaking, there was no deep hatred or blood feud between them. Since Xue Hanyi had lost, it was normal for him to admit defeat honestly. He didn’t want to lose his life here.

“Now, are you willing to answer the question I asked earlier?” Pei Xuanjing didn’t think much and asked again.

Xue Hanyi nodded, “I can tell you, but…”

He looked around and signaled to Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing understood his meaning. There were countless eyes watching here, and with too many mouths, it was better to change the location.

“Brother Bai, please take charge of the situation here. I’ll take these two away first.” He messaged Bai Xiaosheng.

“Okay!” Bai Xiaosheng agreed.

Although he was also very curious, he understood the current situation and temporarily suppressed his curiosity.

“Please.” Pei Xuanjing signaled to the two of them.

“Okay!”

Pei Xuanjing took the two away and went into a palace within the Shenxiao Sect. The crowd was very curious, but they could only rein in their curiosity.

Next, Bai Xiaosheng took over and led the crowd to go ahead according to their pre-discussed plan.

In the palace, Pei Xuanjing was seated face to face with the two.

Pei Xuanjing asked his question again, and this time, Xue Hanyi didn’t evade the question and told them everything candidly.

According to Xue Hanyi, the world where their Da Xue ancient country is located is called Tianhuang. After leaving their Ancestral Land, their ancient country had always been living in that world.

However, even though they left the Ancestral Land, the ancient country’s attention to the Ancestral Land never disappeared as they knew that one day, Heaven and Earth would revive, and they would have to return.

The moment Pei Xuanjing broke the shackles of Heaven and Earth, their Ancestral Land was revived. The leader of their country noticed this event. However, he could not enter as it was protected. But since then, the king secretly started selecting forces within the ancient country in preparation for their return. Xue Hanyi and Xue Hanyue were the ‘lucky ones’ that stood out from the crowd and became the first to enter the Ancestral Land.

“The leader used his supreme magic power and formation to open a transmission channel and sent my little sister and me over.” Xue Hanyi said with a wry smile.

They were chosen initially and envied by many as they thought this mission would be easy and the credit would be easy to earn.

But who would have thought that they would encounter a freak like Pei Xuanjing, who had reached the Fifth Order within a few years of the revival of Heaven and Earth. That was almost unheard of.

Therefore, Xue Hanyi did not feel lucky at all. Instead, he felt extremely unfortunate.

“We rushed over when we learned about your intention to host a large conference on the ninth day of September,” Xue Hanyi said this part, hating to call himself a fool.

He was too arrogant. He directly rushed over without any preparation, was defeated, and now it was impossible to leave, maybe even lose his life in the end.

“For the things that happened later, Master, you already know.”

After listening to Xue Hanyi’s explanation, Pei Xuanjing fell into deep thought, and the palace fell into silence.

Even though Xue Hanyi seemed to cooperate and appeared to have disclosed everything without reservation, Pei Xuanjing did not completely trust him.
