Journey to True Martial Sect, Great Fortune Bearer

Luo Mengshen.

Luo Mengxian.

Anyone with clear eyes could see that the relationship between these two was far from ordinary. They were very likely sisters bound by blood.

Thus, the Devil Master urgently reported this to Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded as well.

Though he was a transmigrator.

He held no particular feelings for the parents of his former self.

He was nevertheless immensely curious about Luo Mengshen.

All kinds of evidence showed.

That Luo Mengshen, Twenty Years Ago.

Had been a legend far surpassing Li Chunfeng.

Moreover.

Luo Mengshen had come from the mysterious Qianqiu Pavilion.

Because of the blood relation between Ren Xiaoyao and Luo Mengshen.

It meant that.

Even if Ren Xiaoyao did not wish it.

He would inevitably cross paths with Qianqiu Pavilion.

Just like before.

There had been an Elder in Qianqiu Pavilion's Inner Cabinet.

Who had ordered Elder Tang of the outer sect to eliminate Ren Xiaoyao.

This was most likely karma left behind by Luo Mengshen.

However.

Ren Xiaoyao had no intention of proactively approaching Luo Mengxian.

After all, with Ren Xiaoyao's current strength, there was no need for him to draw close to or curry favor with anyone on the lands of Great Gan.

Then.

The Devil Master looked at Ren Xiaoyao again and said.

"Master, I have considered it. Being able to enter Qianqiu Pavilion can be considered Ruyan's opportunity. Therefore, I suggest that Ruyan join Qianqiu Pavilion. What do you think?"

"Quite good."

Ren Xiaoyao spoke indifferently.

"Qianqiu Pavilion is said to be a sacred land of the martial world, containing a vast number of high-level martial arts. If Ruyan enters Qianqiu Pavilion, her attainments in martial arts will certainly rise by a level in a short time, and her future prospects will be limitless."

"However, the more mysterious and powerful a place is, the fiercer its internal struggles will be. Qianqiu Pavilion has not only opportunities, but always dangers as well. You are Ruyan's father, so simply remind her of this."

The Devil Master nodded, naturally committing Ren Xiaoyao's advice to memory.

He then looked at Ren Xiaoyao again and spoke.

"Master, there is one more matter. Ren Xuanji has recently made a breakthrough as well, stepping from the True Man Realm into the Heavenly Human Realm."

"Ren Xuanji has entered the Heavenly Human Realm as well?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao frowned.

To him, those in the Heavenly Human Realm were already like ants.

But to the outside world, the Heavenly Human Realm was already a towering peak of Martial Dao that was difficult to scale. Yet recently, martial artists of the Heavenly Human Realm had sprung up one batch after another like bamboo shoots after rain.

"Ren Xuanji is a trusted confidant of the Empress. For him to achieve the Heavenly Human Realm, she must have used Demonic Dao methods."

The Devil Master voiced his guess.

Regarding this view.

Ren Xiaoyao rather agreed.

However, Ren Xiaoyao's thoughts reached further ahead as he said.

"If the demonic technique held by the Empress can create those of the Heavenly Human Realm, then there is no reason it cannot create those of the Martial Saint Realm, or even higher realms. With the Empress appearing to swallow her anger while suffering indignities everywhere, she is likely waiting for an opportunity."

Upon hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words, the Devil Master's expression also became grave.

Leaving aside higher realms.

If the demonic technique could create Martial Saint Realm experts.

That alone would already be too terrifying.

If several Martial Saint Realm beings appeared under the Empress's command then.

She would likely be able to sweep away everything.

When that time came, gods would be slain if they stood in her way.

Demons would be butchered if they stood in her way.

"Master, this Empress truly is an enormous threat. Should we eliminate her before she has fully developed, eradicating this threat once and for all?"

The Devil Master asked.

Ren Xiaoyao Shook His Head again and said.

"Furthermore, I think that eliminating a single Empress has no real meaning."

"I refuse to believe that the Empress alone controls this demonic technique."

"Even if the Empress dies, as long as this technique continues to be secretly Passed Down, nothing will fundamentally change."

Then.

Ren Xiaoyao changed the subject and said.

"Furthermore, I think this demonic technique is not so simple. It may rapidly increase a martial artist's cultivation, but it will also carry immense drawbacks."

"After all, the demonic technique had already appeared in the martial world at least Twenty Years Ago. If it truly could cultivate experts without limit, the martial world would likely be filled with Martial Saint Realm experts. The Heavenly Human Realm would not be so exceedingly rare."

"Indeed!"

The Devil Master nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Afterward.

The Devil Master chatted idly with Ren Xiaoyao for a while longer.

Only then did he hurriedly leave the Imperial Observatory.

"Ren Xuanji, now that you have attained the Heavenly Human Realm, you must be more confident than ever. Then it is time to settle the score between us."

Ren Xiaoyao's expression was icy.

Although after Ren Xiaoyao transmigrated into this world, Ren Xuanji had not erupted into any intense conflict with him due to the Imperial Observatory's protection.

However.

Some debts.

Ren Xiaoyao had to settle on behalf of his former self!

And there were some questions.

Whose answers Ren Xiaoyao had to obtain from Ren Xuanji's mouth.

That night.

Ren Xiaoyao's figure vanished from the Imperial Observatory once more.

Ren Xiaoyao's destination was naturally True Martial Sect's location in the Capital City, and the person he sought was naturally Ren Xuanji.

Ren Xiaoyao changed into another set of clothes as usual and put on that Ghost Face Mask.

Not long afterward.

His figure appeared above True Martial Sect.

At once.

Ren Xiaoyao spread his Spiritual Sense over True Martial Sect. In an instant, everything within the sect had nowhere to hide beneath his Spiritual Sense.

The outer region of True Martial Sect.

Was packed with martial artists.

These martial artists were all in the Super Grandmaster Realm.

They could all be considered the backbone of the Great Gan Imperial Court.

After all, True Martial Sect was the Imperial Court's foremost violent institution. Naturally, it needed Martial Dao strength capable of Suppress Everything.

But to Ren Xiaoyao.

These Super Grandmasters.

Were naturally no more than ants.

What Ren Xiaoyao truly focused on was True Martial Sect's interior. Before long, his Spiritual Sense locked onto Ren Xuanji.

Ren Xiaoyao had indeed entered the Heavenly Human Realm by now.

Yet Ren Xiaoyao keenly discovered.

That Ren Xuanji's condition was unstable.

Compared to Li Chunfeng's Heavenly Human Realm, Ren Xuanji was still far, far inferior. Clearly, he had relied on External Objects to forcibly elevate his realm to the Heavenly Human Realm.

However.

Ren Xiaoyao's Spiritual Sense soon Swept Past Ren Xuanji.

Because Ren Xiaoyao discovered.

That True Martial Sect actually concealed Martial Saint Realm beings. And it was not one Martial Saint Realm being, but a full two!

"Interesting!"

A teasing smile appeared at the corner of Ren Xiaoyao's lips.

Because Ren Xiaoyao discovered that these two Martial Saint Realm experts belonged to different factions.

One of the Martial Saint Realm experts was chatting cheerfully with Ren Xuanji.

While the other Martial Saint Realm expert, like Ren Xiaoyao, lay in ambush and waited for an opportunity to strike.

However.

Ren Xiaoyao also discovered.

That within True Martial Sect.

Several Heavenly Human Realm figures were moving in secret.

They had surrounded the hidden Martial Saint Realm being.

At this moment.

Ren Xuanji rose to his feet.

He looked toward the direction where the Martial Saint Realm expert was hiding.

Then laughed loudly.

"Tantai Pudu, what meaning is there in continuing to hide? This Sect Master has a spy by your side, so I already knew that you would come to attack True Martial Sect tonight."

"You are now surrounded by Qianqiu Pavilion's experts. Why don't you get out here and accept your death?"

Upon hearing this.

That martial artist's figure hidden in the darkness.

No longer bothered to disguise herself after hearing those words.

She appeared before everyone's eyes.

She was a young Daoist nun with delicate features, clad in a loose gray-blue Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk in her hand.

At this moment.

Even though this Daoist nun named Tantai Pudu was surrounded by seven or eight Heavenly Human Realm martial artists, she showed no panic whatsoever. She merely smiled faintly and said.

"Could it be that you, Ren Xuanji, believe a group of Heavenly Human Realm martial artists from Qianqiu Pavilion can fight me?"

"Of course it is not just them. There is also me!"

The Martial Saint Realm martial artist standing beside Ren Xuanji transformed into an Afterimage and swiftly appeared before Tantai Pudu.

He was a Withered and Thin old man.

The aura emanating from him was incomparably cold and sinister.

As he looked at Tantai Pudu, he gave a chuckle and said.

"This old man is Shi Jiuchong, an Outer Sect Elder of Qianqiu Pavilion. I wonder whether I am worthy of fighting you, Tantai Pudu?"

When Tantai Pudu saw Shi Jiuchong.

Her heart sank.

The Elders of Qianqiu Pavilion were all Martial Saint Realm beings.

And they commanded Qianqiu Pavilion's supreme martial arts.

Before they had even exchanged blows.

Tantai Pudu had already determined.

That she was no match for Shi Jiuchong.

But in a one-on-one fight, Tantai Pudu escaping would not have been much of a problem.

Yet there were now another seven or eight Heavenly Human Realm martial artists eyeing her like tigers watching their prey.

This had Cut Off Tantai Pudu's path of retreat!

At this moment.

Ren Xuanji looked at Tantai Pudu and spoke with a smile.

"Tantai Pudu, I heard of your name long ago. Your Tantai Clan possesses the incomparably mysterious Tantai Divine Method. This method allows the True Essence within the bodies of Tantai Clan martial artists to be passed down generation after generation. By the time it reached your generation, it allowed you to accumulate deeply and erupt magnificently, becoming a Martial Saint Realm being!"

"Hmph!"

Tantai Pudu Snorted Coldly and said.

"No matter how Profound and Mysterious the Tantai Divine Method may be, can it compare to Qianqiu Pavilion's Great Absorption Technique? Did you not enter the Heavenly Human Realm by relying on the Great Absorption Technique, Ren Xuanji?"

Ren Xuanji chuckled and said.

"Though the Great Absorption Technique is profound and mysterious, it cannot be considered top-tier Martial Dao in Qianqiu Pavilion. Yet being able to cultivate the Great Absorption Technique is already my honor!"

Then.

Ren Xuanji also looked at Shi Jiuchong beside him and said,

"Elder Shi, this Tantai Pudu is the gift I have prepared for you."

"The True Essence within her body is the most abundant in all Great Gan Land. If you can absorb all the True Essence within her, you may be able to challenge the Through Profound Realm!"

"Hehe, wonderful, wonderful!"

Shi Jiuchong nodded as well.

His gaze upon Tantai Pudu brimmed with greed as he said sinisterly,

"In Great Gan Land, the Martial Saint Realm is already exceedingly rare. I never expected that after leaving Qianqiu Pavilion this time, I would encounter such a stroke of fortune! Hahaha..."

Ren Xiaoyao stood above the heavens.

As for Tantai Pudu,

Ren Xiaoyao was actually quite curious about her.

She was only around twenty years old.

Yet she had already reached the Martial Saint Realm.

"To call someone like her a Chosen of Destiny would not be an exaggeration at all."

Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself.

At that moment,

Words also appeared before Ren Xiaoyao's eyes.

[It has been detected that Great Fortune Bearer Tantai Pudu has encountered a crisis. You have the following choices:]

[One, watch with Cold Eyes. After Tantai Pudu is killed, you will incur double the enmity of this world's Heavenly Dao. When you break through in cultivation and undergo tribulation in the future, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will double.]

[Two, save Tantai Pudu. You may gain Tantai Pudu's favor and establish a karmic bond with her. When undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation in the future, you may share Tantai Pudu's Fortune and weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.]
