News of Jiang Tuo of the Taiyi Supreme Sect attaining the rank of Grandmaster swept across the entire Yan Kingdom like a hurricane in just a few days.
Whether within the towering palace walls of Imperial Capital Jade Capital City, in the taverns and teahouses of the martial world, or inside and outside the mountain gates of the Six Great Supreme Sects, everyone was discussing the matter.
"Have you heard? Jiang Tuo of the Taiyi Supreme Sect broke through!"
"A Grandmaster... that's a true top-tier expert!"
"No wonder the Que Sect came to visit and set up an arena, yet Jiang Tuo never showed himself. So he was in seclusion, charging for the Grandmaster Realm!"
"Tsk, tsk, the Taiyi Supreme Sect is truly something now. It was already immensely powerful, and now it has gained such a young Grandmaster. For the next hundred years, its fortune will probably overshadow the other sects again."
Within Imperial Capital Jade Capital City, the great aristocratic families all spoke of it with no small measure of amazement.
To the vast majority, Grandmasters were already figures of legend, capable of founding sects and presiding over an entire region.
Within the Six Great Supreme Sects, however, the news caused an even more direct upheaval.
The upper echelons of sects such as the Lingxiao Supreme Sect, Ziyang Supreme Sect, and Cloudwater Supreme Sect all turned grave upon hearing the news, swiftly gathering their core members for discussion.
The birth of a newly advanced Grandmaster was no small matter in itself. Especially a young Grandmaster like Jiang Tuo, whose foundation was solid and whose potential seemed boundless—the heights he might reach in the future could not be ignored.
