"Since he's Lu Ren, should we seize him now?"
Xuan Cang asked.
The Sweeping Old Man shook his head. "Not yet. It's only a guess. Let's wait until the Myriad Manifestations Book Wall is over, then verify his identity in private."

The Sweeping Old Man continued.
"Dao One Immortal Realm is said to have only twenty-three Supreme Immortal Sect Powers. Including the Wuyue Clan, that makes twenty-four. They've probably all sent prodigies here, but those prodigies have kept a low profile."

But when Wu Yuexuan and the Unruly Martial Monk reached it, their expressions visibly changed.
They had barely stepped onto the level, before they could even begin comprehending, when terrifying Immortal Soul pressure came crushing down.

"The Unruly Martial Monk gave up!"
"The twenty-fifth level is already terrifying!"
The crowd was stunned, then turned its gaze to Wu Yuexuan beside him.
If Wu Yuexuan held on, it would at least prove his talent surpassed the Unruly Martial Monk's.
*Only the twenty-fifth level. The twenty-ninth is still a long way off. Even if I can't surpass it,
