The cold words spread, and the atmosphere became quiet.
Many people felt quite uncomfortable upon hearing this.
Jiang Pingping, so powerful, defeated Mu Ling'er, True Disciple of the Jade Palace Prefecture, with a single sword strike—how astonishing!
However, in this person's mind, it was equivalent to roadside grass.
But no one could refute these words.
Because he has the ability and the confidence to back it up.
Who is he? Tang Sheng.
A peerless genius of Jade Palace Prefecture, he once defeated a high-ranking Upper True Disciple of the Qingling Palace, and his strength was truly earth-shattering.
Not to mention anything far in the past, just in the recent period, more than two true saints and Demons have died at his hands.
Of those present, how many could achieve Dao Seed?
Jiang Pingping is strong, surpassing Peers, but when it comes to talent and strength, she is far from being a match for that person.
"In the stage of spiritual travel, those who can be venerated Exceptional Talents are invariably those who have broken through the sixth level of Order."
Ming Chanjuan murmured, her eyes filled with longing.
It's important to understand that most newcomers to the True Saint realm only grasp seventy percent of the Origin Rules. One can imagine how powerful someone who is close to this level in the Divine Travel stage must be.
This is something that ordinary geniuses cannot do. Even she, Lower True Disciple of the top three, entered the Heavenly Heart Cave twice to break through the fifth level of Order.
She couldn't even imagine mastering 60% of the Rules during the divine travel stage.
"For such beings, even a True Saint is merely scenery along the way, not a hardship. They will most likely step into the Dao Monarch realm."
The first true disciple of Qingling in the Lower True Disciple secretly thought.
If he could achieve the Venerable position in this life, that would be the greatest expectation of Elder Qingling. But for peerless geniuses like Tang Sheng and Xiao Ran, they were being cultivated to become future Dao Monarch.
Jiang Pingping is also talented. If she doesn't follow the Path of Ten Thousand Laws, she has a chance to become a supreme being in the True Saint Realm, and even has a chance to reach the Dao Monarch.
But once one has the Ten Thousand Laws Foundation, let alone Dao Monarch, even a true saint would find it difficult.
"He is Qingling person, with considerable talent. I cannot allow Brother Tang to trample on him at will."
Divine Tree, Xiao Ran looked at Tang Sheng and said calmly.
Tang Sheng frowned and said, "He's just a guest elder, and even one with the Ten Thousand Laws Foundation. His potential is exhausted. Why bother arguing with me over someone like that?"
Xiao Ran chuckled and said, "I'd like to ask Brother Tang, what is the reason you would stoop so low as to teach a mere guest elder a lesson?"
Tang Sheng sneered, "Mu Ling'er is my Junior Sister, and she has the potential to reach the Dao Monarch in the future. If a Mud Leg with exhausted potential were to ruin my Junior Sister's foundation, it would be a terrible disaster."
"It's only because there's Venerable here; otherwise, I would have taken his life long before Brother Xiao stopped me."
"Senior brother!"
In the distance, a somewhat disheveled Mu Ling'er couldn't help but call out. Her eyes were red. If it weren't for her senior brother's support, she might have really fallen into the hands of that Mud Leg.
Divine Tree, Xiao Ran shook his head. "She is your Junior Sister, not Junior Sister. Right now, with the Divine Tree in bloom, everyone is focused on comprehending the Dao. Her sudden attack would anger anyone."
"If it were me, killing her wouldn't be too much."
Xiao Ran!
Tang Sheng's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "An insect's chirping lasts only a lifetime, no more than autumn. How can it be compared to the great tree of the Chinese toon tree?"
At this moment, not only Jiang Ping, but everyone else felt somewhat indignant upon hearing this.
The implication of this person's words is that they are comparing Jiang Pingping to an autumn insect, which is brilliant but short-lived. They believe that their Junior Sister has the appearance of a great tree, like Peng Zu, and can glimpse the Dao Monarch.
Tang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since Brother Xiao has stepped in, I will not pursue the matter further. However, my Junior Sister's talent is indeed remarkable. Although she arrived a little late, she should find an excellent place to comprehend the Dao."
"Senior brother, I think Tang Sheng is right."
At this moment, Pei Kong couldn't help but send a telepathic message to persuade Xiao Ran.
To be honest, he couldn't understand it. Jiang Pingping had humiliated him, yet this senior brother from the same school was protecting his enemy.
Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice turning somewhat cold:
"The capable shall prevail. We are the strongest, so we have set aside a ten-zhang radius. Everyone else is competing based on their strength. If she could defeat Jiang Pingping, I would have no objection. But she is not as strong as others, and she was only able to get out of trouble thanks to you Tang Sheng."
"If it's as Brother Tang wishes, I can agree."
As he spoke, Xiao Ran waved to Jiang Pingping:
"Come here, come over here. The place within ten feet is the best place to attain enlightenment."
Brother Xiao, please be careful with your words.
At this moment, not only Tang Sheng, but also other Exceptional Talent held opposing views.
Another Upper True Disciple from Qingling said, "It is forbidden. The area within ten feet belongs to us; this is the rule. He does not have the strength to do so and cannot set foot there."
The beautiful woman in palace attire, holding an umbrella, also said crisply, "This is absolutely unacceptable."
She nodded. "I understand what Brother Xiao means."
As she spoke, she looked at Tang Sheng: "Your Junior Sister arrived late after all. If she has the ability, she can compete with others to grab a spot. But if you rely on her to seize someone else's Territory, then you are breaking the rules."
"If one doesn't even have the strength to contend for creation, how dare one speak of striving to become a Dao Monarch?"
Xiao Ran continued.
Tang Sheng shrugged and had no choice but to give up.
He was confident in his Junior Sister's strength; although she was no match for Jiang Pingping, she could still occupy an excellent position.
However, he suddenly looked at Xiao Ran and sneered, "With you here, I can't touch him, but don't let me run into him in the ruins after this, or I'll definitely take him down."
After saying that, Tang Sheng closed his eyes.
Throughout the entire ordeal, he never once glanced at Jiang Pingping, as if he truly regarded her as nothing more than roadside weeds and trees, never considering Jiang Pingping's feelings whatsoever.
They even dared to utter threatening words directly in front of both sets of parents.
"Haha! Jiang Pingping is going to be in big trouble!"
Zhang Yang and Pei Kong felt relieved after watching it.
The man in blue had been domineering ever since he joined Qingling, but now he had finally met his match and provoked a formidable enemy.
"Though his life was brilliant, he was ultimately just one of many geniuses. When faced with an even more astonishing genius, he still had to bow his head."
"Yes, I know Jiang Pingping too. She's always been assertive, but now that she's met her match, she doesn't dare utter a sound."
"Forget it, let's focus on comprehending the Dao. This kind of opportunity is rare indeed."
A sense of tranquility gradually descended Divine Tree, and all the Daoist Dao Seed entered a state of enlightenment.
Jiang Ping had already closed his eyes. He was furious, but he knew that without absolute strength to prove himself, all his verbal attacks were nothing but a joke.
His body was enveloped in a layer of light rain, and a large amount of red light entered his body. Gradually, Jiang Ping sensed a grand Dao Sound approaching.
Jiang Ping was shocked. His comprehension was so high that even Qingling's Supreme Artifact could hardly enhance it. Yet here, he clearly felt that his thinking had improved significantly. Although it was not as profound as the domain he had when he broke through the previous barrier, it was not much different.
"This tree is truly remarkable!"
Jiang Ping praised it highly, saying that if this tree didn't bloom only once every thousand years, he would have really had the urge to take it back and plant it.
