Chapter 734: Chapter 684: Heavenly Mirror, Make Your Move!
“This time, I won’t make a move,” the Ancestor Celestial Master shook his head, turning down the invitation.
For the old celestial master, he had no desire to take action, or rather, this incarnation of his was not particularly strong. Therefore, in this situation where he had no chance of winning, he had no intention of making a move.
After all, even if he wanted to have a scholarly debate with Pei Xuanjing, there was no urgency. If he, due to his current incarnation’s lack of strength, were to lose the duel today, not only would that delay matters, but it also would be embarrassing. Why bother?
Seeing that the old celestial master was unwilling to take action, the Master of Mystiq Sky couldn’t force him and consequently turned his gaze to the others.
“Count me in. I look forward to having a scholarly debate with the National Teacher,” the strongest inheritor of the Sword Sect volunteered undeterred.
Given the steadfast nature of the Sword Sect, coupled with their past confrontations with the Xuantian Sect, now that the Master of Mystiq Sky had expressed his intention to fight, the strongest inheritor of the Sword Sect naturally would not show any signs of weakness and decisively agreed to duel.
Furthermore, Pei Xuanjing’s swordsmanship was extraordinarily remarkable. The strongest inheritor of the Sword Sect had long wanted to spar with Pei Xuanjing to test his swordsmanship. Now that he had this opportunity, how could he let it slip away?
The Master of Mystiq Sky himself and the strongest inheritor of Sword Sect had made their intentions clear, leaving room for one more person to join them.
Master of Mystiq Sky turned his gaze to Xuan Du Guan, the Buddhism School and the Demonic Way, as they would need to win all three rounds to secure this competition’s ultimate victory. To ensure this victory, they would need all the strong participants. He believed only then a victory would be possible if the strongest participants from these three factions made a move.
However, the strong participant from the Xuan Du Guan initially expressed his unwillingness to make a move. He shook his head, “I will not make a move. I leave this opportunity to the rest.”
For the strong ones of the Xuan Du Guan, they joined these strongest ones only as a result of invitations from top-ranking powers. They didn’t need to participate too deeply, to be honest.
After all, compared to the countless disciples of other top-ranking powers, disciples of Xuan Du Guan are scarce. Relying on their status as the strongest, even if they divided according to Pei Xuanjing’s request, by the time the Sky Wasteland integrated into the ancestral land, their fair share of the benefits wouldn’t elude them, which was enough for them to share with their disciples.
Master of Mystiq Sky understood their mindset and could not force them. He nodded in understanding and turned to the representatives of the Demonic Way and the Buddhism School, asking, “Who among you is willing to take action?”
Before the representative of the Buddhism School could respond, the Blood Fiend Ancestor of the Blood Fiend Sect loudly declared, “Why hesitate? Let me do it!”
Thus, the duel at the realm of Strongest at Nine Realms of Spirit was finally set, with the Master of Mystiq Sky, the strongest of the Sword Sect, and the Blood Fiend Ancestor of the Blood Fiend Sect; all three strongest incarnations ready to fight Pei Xuanjing.
Each of these three was among the most powerful beings in heaven and earth, and even among the rulers among the strongest at the Nine Realms of Spirit.
Such powerful figures, taking on Pei Xuanjing one after another, even though both parties were just sending their incarnations, was a rare sight for many cultivators. It was even relatively rare for the strongest of their generation.
“Alright, who among you will go first?” Pei Xuanjing asked lightly, seeing that they had chosen their representatives.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
No matter who they assigned, only he could respond on his side. Moreover, with two victories in hand from the rounds prior, the pressure on Pei Xuanjing had decreased quite a bit.
The trio, Master of Mystiq Sky, exchanged glances. The Blood Fiend Ancestor declared confidently, “I, the ancestor, will try the divine skills of the National Teacher first!”
“I’ve long admired the Mysterious Skill of the Blood Fiend Ancestor. I’m looking forward to it,” Pei Xuanjing responded courteously.
“National Teacher, please!”
“Ancestor, please!”
“Though this duel platform is advantageous, it may not withstand our blows. How about a fight above the sky?” The Blood Fiend Ancestor laughed heartily, leaping up towards the sky without waiting for Pei Xuanjing’s answer.
“I shall accompany you.” Pei Xuanjing nodded, and amidst the conversation, he also rose into the sky from the platform, stepping on air and going straight above the clouds.
The two of them soared into the sky. In no time, they found themselves high above in the sky. The other cultivators were about to follow and did not want to miss this duel of the strongest.
But then, the divine calculator of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion spoke, .”Fellow practitioners, don’t rush. I have a secret method here that allows us to see the duel between the two strongest individuals. There’s no need to be too close.”
While speaking, the divine calculator took out a mirror-like treasure from his sleeve. After instigating the primordial Qi, the treasure radiated light, shooting towards the sky, forming a reflection. In the reflection, the figures of Pei Xuanjing and the Blood Fiend Ancestor were perfectly projected.
“The Heavenly Mirror, I didn’t expect you to bring this as well, old master,” commented a member of the strongest group, recognizing the origin of the item in the divine calculator’s hand.
The Heavenly Mirror was a top-tier divine weapon treasure. Its divine abilities were extraordinary, and its power was immense. It was the treasure of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion and was used to deduce the divine mechanism. It was unexpected that it was brought to the ancestral land today.
“Hehe.” The divine calculator chuckled and said: “The two of them have already made their move. Please watch.”
High above in the sky, Pei Xuanjing and the Blood Fiend Ancestor stood facing each other from a distance. Neither of them made the first move.
As the two men stood facing each other from a distance, an aura slowly rose from each of them. Even though they had not made a move yet, their imposing auras, backed by their enormous power, were already causing the sky to change color and churn.
“The great name of the Blood Fiend Sect has been known to me for a long time. Today I can exchange blows with the ancestor, I ask for your guidance,” Pei Xuanjing spoke with a light laugh.
The Blood Fiend Ancestor also laughed, “National Teacher, why be so formal? There’s no order of seniority in the cultivation; whoever achieves is the elder. Now you and I are peers, no need for formalities.”
Those who belong to the Demonic Way don’t worry about these things. To them, only strength is the foundation; anything else is illusory.
Therefore, the Blood Fiend Ancestor didn’t care about Pei Xuanjing’s age or anything else, and he only recognized Pei Xuanjing as his peer due to one reason; Pei Xuanjing possessed the same power.
“In that case, let’s begin!” Pei Xuanjing called out.
As he spoke, his invisible inner alchemy within his body began to operate, releasing and elevating his spirit energy. Shenxiao Origin Qi began to circulate within his body. The overwhelming aura rose to the sky, changing the color of the sky and enveloping him with the Five Elements.
Even though he had not made his move yet, Pei Xuanjing’s aura at the moment was already extremely terrifying. Or, the more powerful yet un-acted force added to the fear.
With the help of the Heavenly Mirror’s projection, countless cultivators witnessed Pei Xuanjing’s current situation. Their shock particularly affected the cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold.
