True Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain
He defeated four powerful Venerables in succession, each time in a single blow, shocking many experts Outer Domain beyond the region.
They stared intently at Li Jiusheng, constantly trying to figure out where he came from.
"Who is this person? How can he be so powerful?"
"I've never seen him before; he's not from our area."
"They're not from our area either."
"His origins are strange, and the techniques he uses seem to have an ancient feel to them."
"That's alright. This world Outer Domain vast and has many strange places, producing many geniuses that are truly amazing. Could this be a direct descendant of a powerful force from afar?"
"I think they're not visitors from afar, but more like Heavenly Visitor."
"Heavenly Visitor? That makes sense. To be able to defeat Venerable Peak with only the power of Venerable First Heaven, and so easily, seems to be only possible for Heavenly Visitor."
"If he is Heavenly Visitor, then it's only natural that he possesses such strength. I feel that only the Grandmaster could defeat him."
"Indeed, within the same realm, no Venerable can contend with him. On this Venerable Arena, no one can even dream of taking first place."
Numerous discussions arose as everyone stared intently at Li Jiusheng, trying to discern his origins.
Some people speculated about the region he was from based on the techniques he used, while others made inferences based on Li Jiusheng's clothing and even his accent.
Without exception, no one guessed that he came from the Old Land.
Some people speculate that he came from outer space.
When Li Jiusheng heard this guess, a thought struck him.
Heavenly Visitor?
What does this mean?
Could there be a powerful force lurking deep within this vast and boundless sky?
"This world is unfathomably deep. Although I have traveled through a hundred years, I have only recently embarked on the path of cultivation. There is so much to explore and learn. I need to travel more in the future and broaden my horizons." Li Jiusheng was clear-headed and knew that he could no longer simply stay in seclusion in the Shangqing Palace and work in isolation.
But that's in the future.
Currently, Li Jiusheng has defeated four opponents in a row, and he is only one battle away from the five major battles set by the Wooden Man.
He gazed at the Great Venerable below the stage, raised his hand, and proclaimed in a loud voice, "Gentlemen, my five rounds of competition are almost over. Who will accept this challenge?"
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Near the Venerable Arena, a group of elderly masters were speechless.
These extremely old people, who were at the Venerable Peak and had cultivated for many years, were consumed by jealousy when they saw Li Jiusheng's youthful appearance.
Looking at Li Jiusheng, Venerable First Heaven of the Venerable Realm, he felt even more that Heaven was unfair.
How can this 100-year-old man be so powerful?
The flames of jealousy burned in their hearts, yet no one dared to stand up.
The defeat of the four top experts made everyone realize that they were no match for Li Jiusheng.
These four were all at the Venerable Peak, and were somewhat famous in the Outer Domain. They included Daoist masters, Body Refinement, and anomalies born from the coexistence of humans and demons. Yet, none of them could withstand a single punch from Li Jiusheng.
Such an advantage seems to be something only the patriarch could suppress.
"Since no one else is going up, then this old man will do it." At this moment, a slightly younger-looking middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd. He had a leisurely demeanor, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a full head of black hair, each strand of which was crystal clear. He wore Daoist Feather Robe that fluttered in the wind. His posture was upright, and he stood out from the crowd, giving off a sense of being detached from the world.
The moment this person appeared, the previously silent crowd erupted in cheers.
"True Master Zhang! It's True Master Zhang! True Master Zhang has arrived!" someone exclaimed excitedly, his eyes fixed on the slightly younger-looking middle-aged man with fervent enthusiasm.
"Zhang Hanchun, a Grand Master of Outer Domain Dragon Tiger Mountain, broke through to the Venerable realm two hundred years ago and entered the Grandmaster Realm. Since then, he has taken over the affairs of Dragon Tiger Mountain. He can be described as having a high position and great power, and his strength is also formidable. He is a first-class Daoist Grand Master." Someone whispered, then looked at Li Jiusheng on the stage, shook his head slightly, and felt that Li Jiusheng was bound to lose this time.
When the patriarch descended, no one could rival him.
The saying that the patriarch was invincible was not only circulating in the Old Land, but also in Outer Domain.
Whenever the patriarch appears, there is no room for the venerable one to show off.
Someone confirmed it was True Master Zhang who had arrived and immediately shouted, "The mysterious man on the arena, True Master Zhang, is here! You think you can win five consecutive matches? Absolutely not!"
"That's right, our patriarch condescended to come to the Venerable Arena, and his slightest move was the limit of this arena." Someone echoed.
"As expected, a Grandmaster would come to the other arenas to compete for the Pure Yang Energy River. I just didn't expect a Grandmaster to arrive so soon." Someone said, their tone complicated. The arrival of a Grandmaster was like a dimensional reduction attack for them. It was likely that the Grandmaster would take the top spot in all these arenas.
Surrounded by the crowd in the center, True Master Zhang remained composed and said, "I'm late. The Ancestor Arena is packed with matches, so I could only come to the Venerable Arena first. I'm sorry, I'll take first place in the Venerable Arena."
This True Master Zhang from Dragon Tiger Mountain spoke in a completely unpolite tone, as if the number one spot in the Venerable Realm arena belonged to him.
However, everyone around them felt that the first place in the Venerable Realm arena should belong to his family.
On the stage, Li Jiusheng narrowed his eyes, a thousand times more unwilling to accept defeat rising in his heart.
What are you pretending to be, all high and mighty?
That's utter nonsense about True Master Zhang; he's just a patriarch, isn't he?
If he could utter such arrogant words on the Ancestor Arena, Li Jiusheng would admire him as a true man.
To lower one's cultivation level to stand before the Venerable Arena and spout such nonsense—isn't this bullying the weak and trying to salvage one's dignity?
If you're the founder, then you're amazing.
But since you are a venerable one, there is nothing for you to be proud of.
Within the Venerable Realm, Li Jiusheng was synonymous with invincibility.
Thinking this through, Li Jiusheng's face turned cold. Facing the crowd's praise of True Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain, he said indifferently, "Then please enlighten me True Master Zhang."
True Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain moved like a floating catkin, took a step into the air, and then inexplicably appeared in front of Li Jiusheng.
Shrinking Ground into Inches!
This is a Daoist supernatural power, which appears even more wondrous when displayed by the patriarch.
Many people around gasped in amazement, praising True Master Zhang as truly a celestial being.
On the arena, Li Jiusheng curled his lip. Shrinking Ground into Inches is a great supernatural power, but to use such a supernatural power on the arena is too flashy. It can be seen that this True Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain is also a hypocrite who loves face, loves vanity, is flashy but not substantial, and is all show and no substance.
He clearly enjoys everyone's praise and wants to show off in front of others, but he pretends not to want to.
Nausea!
Just as Li Jiusheng was inwardly criticizing this True Master Zhang from Dragon Tiger Mountain, the other party spoke up, "Venerable First Heaven is ultimately just Venerable First Heaven cultivator. Forcibly raising your combat power is nothing but pulling up seedlings to help them grow. You will eventually return to where you belong. This arena does not belong to you."
That was a casual remark filled with disdain, showing that Li Jiusheng was not taken seriously at all.
Li Jiusheng laughed angrily, no longer wanting to waste words with the other party, and attacked directly after the other party stepped onto the stage.
In his eyes, True Master Zhang of Dragon Tiger Mountain was utter nonsense; within the Venerable Realm, he was the most revered.
