Thud…

Bai Xiaosheng removed the note from the messenger eagle’s foot, then set it free.

Neither Pei Xuanjing nor Daoist Xuanming, who was beside him, pressured him. Each sat impassively, waiting for the other to speak.

After deciphering the message from the note using the secret code he had memorized, Bai Xiaosheng looked up at the two disinterested men and said mockingly, “You’re both rather too relaxed.”

Daoist Xuanming replied, “With you managing everything, we could create confusion if we interfere too much.”

“The renowned Bai Xiaosheng, who holds everything in the palm of his hand, doesn’t need our input,” Pei Xuanjing said casually, fooling around with a page of the Netherworld Book in his hand.

“Hmph,” Bai Xiaosheng sneered disdainfully at their careless statements.

Then adopting a serious expression, he asked, “Have we received any news from Qingxu? Tomorrow there will be Court Debates on the square outside the Great Ming gate to appoint an emperor.”

As a power closely associated with the Great Ming royal family, the True Martial Sect naturally had to attend such an important event.

The head of the True Martial Sect must lead the disciples in paying respects, unless in seclusion.

Furthermore, forces like Dragon Tiger Mountain would certainly send representatives.

While the old Celestial Master didn’t attend in person, Yu Yangzi, the confirmed heir and next Celestial Master, arrived in Tiandu with his disciples.

“Then everything will be decided tomorrow,” said Daoist Xuanming seriously.

The success or failure of this plan would be decided by the actions taken tomorrow.

“Indeed, everything depends on tomorrow,” said Bai Xiaosheng solemnly.

This time he committed everything he had. If he won, there was no need to say more.

If he lost, he feared that his accumulated wealth would incur a significant loss.

“This coming together of all the martial arts masters in Tiandu is truly amazing,” said Daoist Xuanming.

All influential forces within the territory of Great Ming that had the qualifications to participate had arrived in Tiandu to witness the inauguration of the new emperor.

From another perspective, this assembly of powers is hardly a pleasant scene. The contest of so many masters gathered here is unknown.

Bai Xiaosheng turned to Pei Xuanjing and said, “As the old Celestial Master is not in Tiandu but looking after the Sky Demon Sect Master, these people will probably rely on you to deal with them.”

Among them, people with the power to determine the outcome of this battle were not limited solely to Pei Xuanjing. For instance, Daoist Qingxu was also unfathomably powerful.

However, in terms of their current plan, Pei Xuanjing was undoubtedly the one who had to step forward to address everything.

The ideal situation would be if people like Daoist Qingxu did not have to take action and could manipulate the situation from the shadows.

“Leave everything to me,” said Pei Xuanjing confidently.

At this moment, he had absolute self-confidence, believing he could subdue anyone.

After gathering his Divine Soul and experiencing a rebirth of his flesh, Pei Xuanjing had no accurate perception of his own strength.

Right now, he was eager to use this opportunity to verify his strength.

Looking at the two of them, Pei Xuanjing said quietly, “So, as long as we suppress everyone else, everything can be accomplished.”

“Taoist friend!” Daoist Xuanming’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Having spent months together, Pei Xuanjing always had a gentle, approachable character, so he originally thought the rumors about him were exaggerated.

However, upon hearing Pei Xuanjing•s domineering words, Daoist Xuanming exclaimed that his reputation didn’t do justice to his actual capability.

A spark flashed in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes as he ventured to ask, “It seems your martial arts have advanced.”

“Indeed!” Pei Xuanjing acknowledged candidly.

At this time, revealing one’s strength appropriately could enhance one’s credibility.

“In the records of my lineage, the speed of your advancement is unprecedented. In the past thousand years, probably only Master Sanfeng, the founder of the True Martial Sect, could compare with you,” sighed Bai Xiaosheng.

Pei Xuanjing merely smiled, listening to Bai Xiaosheng continued, “I suspect that even if Heaven and Earth do not awaken, you could break their shackles and ascend to the Spirit Realm.” Daoist Xuanming looked at Pei Xuanjing, his eyes filled with shock.

If anyone else had made this claim, he would have brushed it off as nonsense. But when Bai Xiaosheng said it, he didn’t dare to dismiss it lightly.

He had some understanding of Bai Xiaosheng’s keen eyes and methods — he was not one to exaggerate.

So when he said it, it meant there was a high probability.

“Perhaps!” Pei Xuanjing smiled lightly, neither denying nor confirming.

Boom!

A storm seemed to rage in Bai Xiaosheng•s heart, causing him to lose control.

To him, Pei Xuanjing’s words were tantamount to admitting there was a possibility of breakthrough.

Even with the shackles of Heaven and Earth and their lack of awakening, Master Sanfeng, who had the greatest potential, wouldn’t dare to claim he had a chance to break through these restraints and advance to the Spirit Realm six hundred years ago.

But now, Pei Xuanjing confessed he might have this chance, a statement that shattered Bai Xiaosheng’s understanding.

He knew that if Pei Xuanjing’s words were to spread, they would create a stir among the martial arts world that would surpass even the news of an emperor’s death.

Hiss!

Daoist Xuanming couldn’t help but gasp. At this moment, he abandoned any pretense of being a high-ranking elder, looking at Pei Xuanjing as if watching a monster.

He clearly understood the implications of his words.

Was it possible for someone in this world to possess such a prodigious talent?

The founding patriarch had sought ways to break through, sitting on Mount Zhongnan for decades, but eventually passed away in disappointment without a glimmer of hope.

Could this Taoist, who had just passed the prime of his life, really be sure of breaking the shackles before Heaven and Earth awakened?

Pei Xuanjing looked at them, saying calmly, “I’ve recently grasped a few little abilities. Would you like to have a look?”

“Sure!”

“Please show us, Taoist friend!”

Both of them quickly agreed.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s words, they naturally had no reason to refuse.

Pei Xuanjing smiled, then looked at the two – a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes as if a sword was thrusting out.

Boom!

The two abruptly unleashed a violent surge of qi, and hastily retreated a few steps before halting. They looked incredulously at Pei Xuanjing, sputtering, “What kind of technique is this!”

Pei Xuanjing laughed and said, “This is a technique I’ve come to understand, the ‘Sword Gaze Technique’. I wonder what your impressions are!”

This was a new technique he created while studying the applications of Divine Souls after gathering his own.

“Terrifying!”

“This technique resembles a rumored divine ability..”
