Two Nascent Soul True Lords of the Heavenly Martial Platform challenged Gao Xian in succession, and both were defeated by him.

The hundreds of thousands of cultivators watching all witnessed Gao Xian easily crush two powerful Nascent Soul True Lords. Shouheng and Taichu had lost so thoroughly they had nothing to say.

The cultivators of the Profound Bright Church all believed their sect to be the greatest under heaven. Yet Gao Xian, an outsider, had single-handedly overwhelmed so many of the sect's true-inheritance Nascent Soul cultivators. It dealt their spirits a tremendous blow.

Everyone stared at Gao Xian atop the Heavenly Martial Platform, hoping the sect would send out a couple of formidable Nascent Soul True Lords to teach him a lesson.

Defeating Gao Xian would gain them little. But if they lost to him, they would be using the reputation and prestige accumulated over a lifetime as Gao Xian's stepping stone. They bore Gao Xian no grudge; no one would do something so foolish.
