Testing Cultivators with This?

Li Wangxian had already made up his mind and wasted no more time. Stepping out of his cultivation cave dwelling, he found Father Li and expressed his intention to go out for experiential training.

"Are you going to look for the Sun Scripture?" Father Li was very sharp. He had sensed something since Li Wangxian last came to ask him about the whereabouts of the scripture, and today's development met his expectations. After all, cultivating both Taiyin and Taiyang meant that while he now had the Taiyin True Scripture, the Sun Scripture was incomplete, so naturally he had to find a way to recover it.

Li Wangxian was slightly startled, but not too surprised. After all, he was someone with a "prior record," and Father Li and the others would naturally have their suspicions. Therefore, he replied very steadily, "I do indeed have this intention, and by the way, I also need to temper my combat arts."

"Go! If you have need, take both the Moon Disc and the Treasure Wheel!"

Father Li nodded, showing no intention of stopping him. He had agreed to let him go out to seek the scripture when he was so young, and now his cultivation had advanced greatly. If not for the fact that some Heavenly Prodigies were a decade older than his own son, the younger generation would be nearly invincible. Furthermore, with a Saint Weapon guarding him, there was no reason to worry.

"I'll leave the Treasure Wheel in the sect to guard the mountain gate. Taking the Moon Disc will be enough, and Uncle Jiang doesn't need to follow either."

Li Wangxian shook his own head. With a Saint Weapon in hand that could awaken at any moment to unleash Saint Might, having a Great Ability come along to guard his path would mean it was no longer experiential training.

In fact, carrying the Moon Disc was also to prevent sect-master-level figures like Great Abilities from suppressing him with too high a realm. He might not even bother drawing it out to fight ordinary Immortal One figures, and sparring with high-realm figures was also a form of tempering.

Hearing this, Father Li was stunned at first, and then tacitly approved of his plan without any intention of persuasion. After all, every Great Emperor of antiquity had walked this very path!

The sharp edge of a precious sword is forged from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. No Great Emperor was ever escorted all the way by others guarding their path; instead, they fought their way out through wind, rain, blood, and blazing fire.

Although Li Wangxian's realm was still low and normally he truly would need path-guarding to avoid a premature death, given the current environment in the Ziwei Cultivation World where saints were untraceable and kings had retreated into obscurity, having a Saint Weapon on hand was indeed enough for contingencies.

Even Mother Li, who had just walked over, had no objections upon hearing this. After all, this son of hers had a mind of his own since he was little and was very capable, so she had long since stopped being able to manage him.

Thinking of this, Mother Li looked at Li Wangxian with a trace of minor grievance, as if she were saying you little heartless thing, you're leaving your mother's side again.

Li Wangxian's expression remained calm, remaining unmoved by the gaze of his esteemed maternal mother. He had long since seen through his mother's occasionally eccentric personality; just ignoring her for a little while would do, but if he tuned into her frequency, he would be in for endless annoyance.

Having informed Father Li, Li Wangxian had no intention of waiting around much longer. He immediately set out to walk outside the divine sect, stepping onto the path to find the Sun Scripture.

"Aside from the Taiyin God Sect, is there also a very high probability that the Ziwei Divine Dynasty holds one or two scrolls of the Sun Scripture?"

Within the mountain gate, Li Wangxian walked and pondered the information he had previously discussed with Uncle Jiang and the others. The Ziwei Divine Dynasty was located in the center of Divine Continent, relatively close to the Sun God Sect. Whether through fortuitous fortune in obtaining scriptures that had once circulated or through clever seizure and forceful plunder, it stood to reason that they might have acquired one or two scrolls of scripture.

"It's not certain yet; I can first gather the information more clearly.

Right now, I can set my target on the Taiyin God Sect first. Since the Taiyin Divine Son of this generation has ambitions for the Emperor Road, he should have the idea of comprehending the Sun Scripture, right?"

Li Wangxian sneered. After all, the saying that Yin and Yang Harmonization would make one ruler of the world was quite resounding. In his view, perhaps the Taiyin Divine Son might not necessarily cultivate both, but taking them out for reference should be inevitable—though of course, the premise to all this was that the Taiyin God Sect truly still possessed a scroll or two of the Sun Scripture.

Stepping out of the mountain gate, Li Wangxian conjured divine light and flew toward Yang City. Midway, the bones in his body cracked and popped, transforming him into the appearance of a youth of fourteen or fifteen.

This was not the appearance of Li Shenzhou. After all, he was still not far from the mountain gate. In fact, he had been somewhat careless last time, maintaining the exact same appearance all the way from the Sun Church to Yang City and Thunder City. Now that Li Shenzhou had re-entered the pugilistic world, he naturally could not leave behind the same track of appearance; otherwise, if interested parties tracked him down, his identity might be exposed.

After flying for several hundred miles, Li Wangxian pressed down his divine light, his figure plunging into the vast mountains and rivers below.

On a peak lush with trees, Li Wangxian appeared. After probing with his sensitive and immensely powerful divine sense to confirm that no one was lurking in the dark to spy on him, he stamped his foot and carved patches of Dao Patterns onto the ground. Amidst a violent flash of divine light, he vanished from the spot as the domain gate activated.

Yang City was an ancient city that once belonged to the Sun God Sect, but now, as far as Li Wangxian knew, it belonged under the jurisdiction of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.

From afar, approaching from a different direction than when he came from the Sun God Sect, Li Wangxian flew over and entered the city.

Inside the city, people came and went in a bustle, as prosperous as ever. Even vaguely, Li Wangxian felt that the atmosphere in the city today seemed rather enthusiastic. Had some major event happened, or was there some gossip to be heard?

Puzzled, and with his journey not being pressed for time, Li Wangxian with great interest found the largest tavern in the city, wanting to scout for some information. After all, if he wanted to make a move against people from the Taiyin God Sect, he needed to track down the whereabouts of certain individuals to make his actions targeted.

The Drunken Immortal Pavilion was a tavern renowned even throughout the cultivation world. Li Wangxian arrived there, and as soon as he sat down, without even needing to inquire about anything, cultivators drinking heartily within the tavern blurted out the information he wanted during their idle chatter.

"Have you heard? Princess Yueshi, the second greatest beauty of Ziwei, is going to hold her coming-of-age ceremony in the imperial capital soon, and she has invited a massive group of young Heavenly Prodigies and saint sons to attend."

"I've known that for a long time. This is the biggest topic in Divine Continent right now; I'm not someone who bitter-cultivates deep in the mountains, so how could I not know? Do you happen to know what Heavenly Prodigies are attending?"

"Does that even need guessing? As long as they aren't in closed-door life-or-death seclusion, the various great families and great sect successors and saint sons of Divine Continent all have to give face to the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, right? Could it be that the Heavenly Prodigies from several other domains wouldn't also want to catch a glimpse of the second greatest beauty's peerless countenance?"

"Speaking of which, this Daoist priest heard that the number one beauty in the world, Yi Qingwu of Guanghan Palace, will also come to attend and offer congratulations."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators in the tavern boiled over. Judging by this trend, would the top ten beauties of the world all gather together?

Ah this, this was very likely!

Thinking of this possibility, everyone in the tavern could no longer sit still.

The top ten beauties of the world! Which one of them wasn't exquisitely charming with an immortal bearing and peerless countenance-rare great beauties not seen in a millennium!

Now there was actually a chance to lay eyes on them all at once, taking in all the beauty of the flowers in a single day. Who, who could withstand this!

"Anyway, this Daoist priest can't withstand it!"

After this thought flashed through the minds of quite a few cultivators present, some who hadn't originally planned to join in the excitement immediately stood up, settled their bill, and left in a smooth triple motion, their movements neat and uniform.

This left Li Wangxian dumbfounded and filled with burning indignation. My information gathering isn't finished yet, what are you all leaving for? This group of people truly had zero composure expected of cultivators.

"Testing cultivators with this? Which orthodox cultivator can withstand this kind of test?"

Li Wangxian looked disdainfully at the departing cultivators, stood up, settled his bill, and left. It wasn't that he couldn't withstand the test; rather, he figured-was there currently any better place than the Ziwei Imperial Capital for gathering information?

Targets like the Taiyin Divine Son would presumably all be going there.
