Chapter 32
Don't ask anymore, Sect Master
After defeating Jianzi of the Wuji Sword Sect, Luo Tian did not immediately step into the fray.
He will accept challenges from various forces as the reigning champion.
"Just because you narrowly defeated Jianzi, you think you're the best of your generation?"
"It's sour," said an elder from the Wuji Holy Land.
The Palace Master of Tianji Palace was not angry upon hearing this; instead, he chuckled.
"The Wuji Sword Sect is the number one sword sect in the world, and our Xuantian Sect admires it. Luo Tian Divine Son cultivates both swordsmanship and martial arts. In this sparring match, he did not use any Dao techniques, but only judged the skill based on swordsmanship. It is already remarkable that he was able to defeat the Sword Master by half a move."
Luo Tian is not a pure sword cultivator.
Unlike the Wuji Sword Emperor, the Great Emperor Gouchen left behind a legacy that was not simply about swordsmanship.
The battle between Luo Tian and Jian Zi was, from beginning to end, a contest of swordsmanship.
It may seem like a narrow victory, but in reality, it's already a huge win.
"snort."
The elder of the Boundless Holy Land snorted coldly and said nothing more.
At this moment, not only the holy sons and daughters of the three sects and four holy lands, but also many sect disciples or independent cultivators were eager to try their luck and go up on stage to learn from Luo Tian.
I don't seek to defeat Luo Tian, I only seek to spar with him, to showcase my talent, and perhaps even gain some insights along the way.
Luo Tian accepted them all.
If it is someone who is on good terms with the Xuantian Sect, he will peacefully spar with them, using their Taoist techniques to verify each other's skills.
They can even point out the other person's problems and help them overcome them.
If someone is an enemy of the Xuantian Sect or harbors ill intentions, Luo Tian will crush them without mercy.
Let everyone understand that he has a compassionate appearance, but also a fierce wrath.
Finally, Luo Tian won dozens of matches in a row and did not challenge anyone else on stage.
Unstoppable! You have defeated all rivals under heaven, surpassing even the greatest talents of your generation.
Your reputation in the martial arts world has greatly increased.
Having gained the reputation, Luo Tian turned and left.
His departure brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
The pressure is too great.
"Senior Brother, you're amazing! I'd like to go up on stage and have a go at it, is that okay?"
As soon as Luo Tian returned to his seat, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang blinked her eyes expectantly and looked over.
Clearly, Luo Tian's invincible performance had also won her over.
I want to go on stage and perform.
Luo Tian thought about it and agreed.
"It's fine for Junior Sister to go up and gain some practical experience, but your cultivation level is still relatively low, so you must be careful and avoid getting injured."
"Got it! Great!"
Junior Sister Yaoguang jumped up excitedly.
After a few rounds, she seized the opportunity and jumped onto the ring.
"I am the Holy Maiden of the Xuantian Sect, Yao Guang! Who dares to fight me!"
The Holy Maiden Yaoguang stood with her hands on her hips and shouted loudly.
Everyone looked at each other.
The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang looks like a little girl of only twelve or thirteen years old.
Her declaration, far from angering everyone, actually made her seem rather endearing.
A young prodigy couldn't help but chuckle and decided to go on stage to tease the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.
"Since the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang wishes to spar with someone, then I shall accompany you in battle."
"Okay! I'll begin then!"
The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang was overjoyed and immediately launched an attack.
The young prodigy remained unmoved, watching with amusement as the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang made her move.
He didn't even consider a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator a threat.
then……
"The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation through Thunderous Roar of the Nine Heavens!"
Before he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure had already locked onto the young prodigy.
The young prodigy felt as if a great calamity was about to befall him.
It was as if I could see my own omen of death shining in the sky.
Above the purple sky, a divine thunderbolt, capable of destroying everything, was brewing.
Click!
"I surrender!!!"
The young prodigy used all his strength to roar out the most heart-wrenching words.
Boom!
A purple bolt of lightning exploded, leaving a huge crack and scorch mark on the arena.
The young prodigy beside him slumped to the ground.
I was so scared I almost peed my pants.
"I won!"
The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang cried out with joy.
She couldn't wait to face her next opponent.
"Next!"
There was no next one.
Luo Tian personally stepped forward and carried the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang back to her seat.
The Holy Maiden of Yao Guang was still struggling there.
"No! I still have the Six Armor Divine Generals, Heavenly Soldiers' Martial Arts, Divine Firmament Wind Control, Five Elements Killing Sword, Heavenly Lock Sealing, and Seven Stars Patrol the Heavens to use!"
"Are these your supernatural powers?"
Luo Tian was both annoyed and amused.
These are all props and amulets he gave to the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang for self-defense.
He poured his heart and soul into it, so the quality is guaranteed; it's almost equivalent to his all-out effort.
It would be no problem for him to instantly kill ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
"..."
Watching this farce unfold.
The audience was silent.
"Your sect has really gone to great lengths for its Holy Maiden."
The elder of the Taixu Holy Land chuckled dryly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"A magic weapon containing the full force of a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm is already considered top-grade. If it can be reused, it would be even more extraordinary, as its creation alone would require a vast amount of natural resources."
"Hehe... How could the sect's holy maiden be lost?"
The Palace Master of Tianji Palace feigned composure.
My heart was pounding with cold sweat.
He didn't even know that this happened...
"Pfft."
Suddenly, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi burst out laughing.
The maidservant looked surprised.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled charmingly, her bright eyes darting between Luo Tian and the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang.
Finally, she turned to the aloof and indifferent Tianxuan Saintess.
"I have long admired the reputation of the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan, and seeing her today, I know it is no exaggeration. If you do not mind, why don't we both come up and exchange sparring to prove our sincerity?"
Tianxuan Saintess raised her eyes and met Yaochi Saintess's gaze.
She nodded.
"it is good."
So, to everyone's astonishment, the two stepped onto the stage for a duel.
This brought the Peach Banquet to a perfect close.
[Goal achieved!]
You survived the Peach Banquet without major incident, not only cultivating good relationships with various factions and enhancing your reputation, but also successfully maintaining a delicate dynamic balance in the love triangle.
[His evaluation as a guardian of the Xuan Tian Sect, a divine being, has been improved.]
……
Return to Xuantian Sect.
The Palace Master of Tianji Palace personally went to report the events to Empress Xuan.
Therefore, Luo Tian no longer needs to get involved.
However, after the Palace Master of Tianji Palace left, Luo Tian still went to pay his respects to Empress Xuan.
"Palace Master Tianji has already told me everything, so Tian'er doesn't need to go through the trouble of coming again."
"Sect Master, I have other business to attend to."
Without saying much, Luo Tian presented the peaches to Empress Xuan.
Empress Xuan looked at the peaches in surprise.
"This is?"
"These are peaches from the Peach Banquet. I heard that the Sect Master has never attended the Peach Banquet, so I brought them back to present to the Sect Master."
"Tian'er is so kind..."
Empress Xuan looked at Luo Tian with considerable satisfaction.
However, she still gently shook her head.
"I appreciate your kindness, but these peaches are of little use to me. Tian'er, you should keep them for yourself."
"The peaches are of little use to me. I offer them to the sect leader to express my sincerity. I hope the sect leader will accept them."
Luo Tian insisted.
"Tian'er..."
Empress Xuan gazed into Luo Tian's honest eyes.
I was deeply moved.
She couldn't help but step forward and gently hug Luo Tian.
"What a good child. In that case, let's each have half."
Empress Xuan took the peach from Luo Tian's hand.
With a simple stroke, the peach in his hand was split in two.
She gave half of it to Luo Tian, then they smiled at each other and began to enjoy the peaches together.
"Sect Master, how do these peaches taste? Are they worth a try?"
Luo Tian asked curiously.
"Mmm, this is truly a delicacy; even in paradise, there is no taste like this."
Empress Xuan smiled sweetly.
The bright smile was deeply imprinted in Luo Tian's heart.
"Indeed, it's beautiful..."
Luo Tian stared blankly, mesmerized by Empress Xuan's smiling face.
I couldn't help but feel a genuine sense of emotion.
"By the way, Tian'er, you met the Holy Maiden of Yaochi at the Peach Banquet, right? How did it go?"
"..."
"And who won the battle between the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan?"
"..."
Don't ask anymore, Sect Master.
……
Meanwhile, in a secluded cave...
Ye Chen sat cross-legged, his whole body radiating the rising spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Phew, I'm finally back to normal."
He suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes.
A purple-gold starlight flashed in his eyes.
"Damn it! I actually lost to Luo Tian in the same realm! How did he see through my trump card?"
Ye Chen still hasn't gotten over his loss to Luo Tian.
Especially the final blow; it was as if the opponent had foreseen the future, easily breaking through his killing move.
"You deserve to lose to him."
A mysterious voice echoed in Ye Chen's mind.
"That Luo Tian has obtained the complete inheritance of Gouchen and is a whole realm higher than you. Even if he is suppressed to the Nascent Soul Realm, he is still far stronger than the Nascent Soul Realm."
"Senior, you're awake!"
Ye Chen was overjoyed.
"Um."
The mysterious voice continued.
"Gouchen Divine Son is not as simple as he seems. You are no match for him now, especially since he has broken your invincible Dao Heart."
The so-called invincible Dao heart is essentially a great trend of heaven and earth.
Defeating all adversaries along the way, displaying an invincible aura, at which point the entire world will form a mysterious and profound force, propelling oneself onto the invincible path to becoming an emperor.
"What should I do now?"
Ye Chen asked.
"You must stabilize your invincible Dao heart and obtain my complete inheritance as soon as possible."
A mysterious voice drifted over.
"Luo Tian attempted to reverse Yin and Yang and tamper with the destiny of Heaven. This time, you did not lose to him, but to the destiny of Heaven."
"Once you receive my complete inheritance, destiny will naturally be bestowed upon you, and Luo Tian will surely be defeated."
"The Secret Realm of the Fallen Emperor is about to open; that will be your chance to reclaim your destiny!"
