Qiu Chuji and Ximen Chuixue Were Shocked

A wave of startled cries immediately erupted from the crowd.

"What? That man is actually Daoist Master Qiu, Qiu Chuji?!"

"My heavens, so he is Qiu Chuji, Senior Qiu, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, whose Daoist title is Changchunzi?"

"Rumor has it that his divine arts are complete and that he was once immensely powerful. Why has he suddenly come to our little city?"

The crowd burst into uproar, and everyone was utterly shocked!

Qiu Chuji was no insignificant figure. He was the esteemed leader of the Quanzhen Sect, regarded as one of the ten great figures of the martial world. Such a senior master had actually come to their little city?

Many people immediately became solemn and looked upon Daoist Master Qiu with reverence!

To behold his true appearance was truly a rare blessing!

"Excellent inner strength, you two!" Qiu Chuji called from afar as he walked toward the stage, unable to conceal the praise on his face.

To receive his praise showed that the Jiang and Yang families' inner cultivation methods were exceptionally extraordinary.

The two middle-aged men fighting on the stage were instantly overjoyed. For their family's cultivation method to earn Daoist Master Qiu's praise was an honor others could only dream of!

However, what they did not know was that Chen Xiaofan was even more overjoyed. He had obtained an inner cultivation method praised even by Qiu Chuji, and it was one that grew stronger layer by layer. How could that not be incredible?

Though delighted, Chen Xiaofan merely smiled faintly and remained calm.

Unmoved by favor or disgrace, his goal was to enter Mount Wudang, comprehend the Immortal Ascension Method, shed mortality, and become immortal. Such trivial matters could no longer shake his Dao heart.

Qiu Chuji's appearance here today was not without reason. Last month, he had suddenly felt inspired and wanted to take a personal disciple.

A personal disciple naturally could not be someone with poor talent. Mediocre talent would not do either. Superior talent would barely suffice, but what he wanted was an unparalleled prodigy—the most monstrous prodigy imaginable!

Thus, he had traveled through famous mountains and great rivers, hoping to find that person.

Today, while passing through this city, he saw how lively it was and came over for a glance, hoping to discover some promising talent.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a child in white walk past him.

His brows immediately furrowed.

"Hey, what is with this child? He walked past me without being sent flying?" Qiu Chuji looked at the friend accompanying him, deep shock appearing in his eyes!

One had to know that he was at Grandmaster Great Perfection. His True Essence was immensely abundant, and with every gesture it could burst forth and sweep through all directions. Ordinary people did not even dare approach him, for they would unconsciously be blasted away.

Yet what was going on with this child? He had actually remained completely unharmed?

The next moment, Qiu Chuji swept out with his Spiritual Sense. His eyes immediately widened in utter shock!

"How strange! How strange! This child is so young—what realm is he actually in?"

His Spiritual Sense had entered like a mud ox into the sea. He could not sense anything at all!

The other party's aura was restrained, unfathomably deep!

Qiu Chuji had a friend traveling with him, a fellow martial artist he had happened to meet at a teahouse along the way: Ximen Chuixue!

Ximen Chuixue wore a white robe, his face cold and stern, an invisible aura of looking down upon the world emanating from him. Yet upon hearing Qiu Chuji's words, he froze.

He hurriedly sensed the child as well, and an utterly incredulous expression immediately appeared on his face. He could not accept it!

Only after several breaths did he recover, sighing repeatedly. "Unimaginable! Unimaginable! I cannot even sense this child's cultivation. A monster! A monster!"

Like Qiu Chuji, he too was at Grandmaster Great Perfection. The martial world had bestowed upon him the title Sword God, a testament to their recognition of his strength!

Yet he had discovered that one day, he would actually be unable to sense someone else's cultivation!

And that person was actually a child!

If it had been some ancient monster, he could have accepted it. But he had never expected it to be a child!

Ximen Chuixue's eyes widened enormously, and deep self-doubt rose within him!

He felt as though all his years of cultivation had gone to the dogs!

This was no longer simply a matter of being young. This was a freak who had begun cultivating in the womb! He looked only seven or eight years old, yet his cultivation was deep and vast, as unfathomable as the ocean. How strange! How unbelievable!

"A mere child possesses such cultivation. The two of us have roamed the martial world for so many years, yet only barely reached the Great Grandmaster realm. Could this child be... at Grandmaster Peak?"

"Hiss! A seven-year-old Grandmaster Peak? Unimaginable!"

Both men were stunned, utterly bewildered and dazed!

Though they were speaking through voice transmission, countless people around them saw their expressions change and knew something extraordinary must have happened!

But with their eyesight, they truly could not tell what had happened.

"Terrifying! Terrifying! He is already this strong at seven. Who knows what heights he will reach in the future?"

"He could already be our master!"

The two continued transmitting their voices, staring at one another!

Their faces were filled with shock and emotion!

Just as they were about to step forward and speak with him, they suddenly saw in astonishment that he took out a sword. Before they could react, he had already mounted the sword and soared into the air. A streak of sword light shot out, piercing toward the heavens.

Its speed was utterly astounding!

From far away, they saw the child's robes fluttering in the wind atop the sword light, his long hair streaming behind him. He looked like an immortal, free and unrestrained!

Then they heard cries of shock from behind them.

"Hiss! An immortal!"

"Heavens, an immortal walks the world! An immortal walks the world!"

"That person who just passed by was actually an immortal? My heavens, how is that possible?!"

Qiu Chuji and Ximen Chuixue could no longer hear the words coming from behind them. They sank into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
