"I can't believe there's such a godly person in this world!"
"Who are they?"
"No wonder Li Xingchen wanted to hold a banquet for them."
"Li Xingchen is one of the most handsome men in this world, but compared to this man, he's nothing more than a foil."
"Every single move he makes seems to reveal a completely natural aura of the Dao. How extraordinary. Exactly what is the background of this person?"
When the crowd regained their senses, they looked at Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu in awe.
The man and woman were both stunning beauties.
Especially Chu Kuangren, who exuded an otherworldly aura. Even a Sage could not compare to him.
"Let me introduce you. This is the Elder Senior Brother of the Black Heaven Sect, Chu Kuangren, and this is Lady Lan Yu." Li Xingchen smiled.
Everyone fell into a strange silence when they heard this.
Chu Kuangren!
The Chu Kuangren who declared war on the world?!
Many people looked at him curiously, especially a few Heaven's Prides who believed themselves to be talented. Their eyes were filled with eagerness.
"It's him!"
"He's the one who defeated Crown Prince Gu Changge!"
"I didn't know he looked like this."
…
"Come, Brother Chu, Lady Lan, please take a seat." Li Xingchen arranged a seat for the two, right next to the young master.
The banquet began with musicians and dancers performing on stage.
The atmosphere was harmonious as everyone chatted and toasted each other.
"Fellow daoist Chu, come, let me toast you."
One of the disciples raised his cup and toasted Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren returned the gesture with a smile, clinked his cup with the other and downed it in one gulp. The other laughed and downed his cup as well.
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren felt a gaze on him.
He looked over and saw a young man in a white robe.
Noticing that Chu Kuangren had noticed him, the white-robed young man, Ye Lei, froze for a moment before he smiled and looked away.
He thought to himself, it was them!
The person who took Honorable Yuan Ling's treasure was Chu Kuangren!
Ye Baifeng had asked someone to draw a portrait of the person who took the treasure after he returned, and Ye Lei had seen that portrait before.
Although the person in the portrait was not even one-tenth as handsome as Chu Kuangren, they looked exactly the same. It was definitely him.
This matter was too important, so he didn't dare to make it public. He could only pretend as if nothing had happened and wait until he returned to the mansion to inform the elders of the family.
"This person is a little strange."
Chu Kuangren muttered to himself before he ignored it.
"Haha, rumor has it that Brother Chu has a Supreme Daoist Physique and is a peerless Heaven's Favorite in the world. I wonder if I can have the honor to meet you."
A prodigy from an aristocratic family could not help but say.
Everyone turned to look at Chu Kuangren.
Evidently, they were also very curious about the other party's strength.
However, before Chu Kuangren could say anything, Li Xingchen laughed and said, "I'm hosting a banquet this time. It's boring to keep fighting and killing."
"I have a rare treasure here."
After saying that, Li Xingchen took out a golden oval object from his storage ring. There were slits on its surface, as if it was formed by overlapping pieces. The object looked like a flower bud.
The crowd looked at Li Xingchen, waiting for his explanation.
Li Xingchen said, "This is the Spirit Testing Golden Lotus. It's a new toy that Master Windbeard recently came up with. It can test the quality of a cultivator's spiritual power. Let's use this to compete today."
Cultivators cultivated their spiritual power, and the quality of their spiritual power varied according to the cultivator's cultivation technique, aptitude, and foundation.
Among cultivators of the same cultivation realm, those with higher spiritual power would have a great advantage.
"Master Windbeard? Alright, we'll do as you say, Brother Li."
Windbeard was the most famous Master Craftsman in White Cloud City. Every weapon he forged was a treasure that countless cultivators desired.
It was said that even Honorable Supremes had asked him to forge weapons.
"How do I use this?"
"Just infuse it with spiritual power," Li Xingchen said.
"Then I'll go first."
One of the family sky-prides made the first move.
He raised his hand and struck the Golden Lotus.
The Golden Lotus trembled for a moment before three petals spread out.
However, the petals retracted in less than a second.
"Three petals? Is this a good or bad result? "
"This Golden Lotus has a total of twelve petals. Master Windbeard said that there are only a few people in the entire Firmament Star who can open all twelve petals at the same time," Li Xingchen said.
The family sky-prides who struck first were stunned. Out of the twelve petals, he only managed to open three? Was his spiritual power of such a low quality?
"Again!"
That family sky-prides was not satisfied and struck again.
He exerted more force this time, but the result was the same.
The rest of the crowd burst into laughter. Then, they began to test it out curiously. One after another, they infused spiritual power into the Golden Lotus.
"I also have three petals?"
"Tsk, four petals."
"Is there really someone in this world who can open twelve petals?"
"I've cultivated a Supreme Technique, and I can only open five petals!"
The crowd was shocked.
This Golden Lotus had such a high requirement for spiritual power.
The family sky-prides who struck first felt a little better after seeing this. It seemed that everyone's standards were about the same.
At that moment, a sword qi hit the Golden Lotus.
The Golden Lotus trembled and slowly opened six petals.
This was the best result in the entire tournament.
The person who unleashed the sword qi was Yeh Lei. He frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with this result.
He had a Daoist Physique, cultivated a Supreme Technique, and consumed various treasures all year round, so his spiritual power was of a high quality.
In his opinion, he should be able to open at least seven petals.
He did not expect there to be only six.
"Let me try too," Li Xingchen said. He then unleashed a spiritual power that looked like starlight onto the Golden Lotus.
The Golden Lotus trembled and opened six petals.
"As expected, it's still six petals." Li Xingchen shook his head and smiled.
This item belonged to him, so it was only natural that he had tried it first.
"Tsk, Brother Li has a Starlight Daoist Physique, but he only managed to open six petals. This Golden Lotus has such high requirements."
"It seems that no one in this world can open all twelve petals."
"I wonder how many Brother Chu and the others can open?"
The crowd's attention was on Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu who had yet to make a move. Lan Yu was the first to strike, unleashing a ray of Light Fist Strength.
In an instant, the Golden Lotus trembled and opened nine petals!
This scene scared the hell out of everyone.
Yeh Lei and Li Xingchen's pupils shrunk.
Both of them only had six petals in their Daoist Physiques.
However, Lan Yu could open nine petals!
The quality of her spiritual power was far beyond theirs.
As the Golden Lotus closed up, Chu Kuangren unleashed a sword qi.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light blossomed!
The Golden Lotus' petals opened one after another.
Twelve petals, it was a beautiful sight.
When the Golden Lotus had fully opened, waves of fragrance floated in the air.
"It's all open!"
"What kind of spiritual power is this?!"
"Oh my god, there's actually someone in this world who can fully open this Golden Lotus. Brother Chu is indeed a Supreme Daoist Physique!"
The crowd looked at Chu Kuangren in awe.
There were also some who felt dejected.
They could only open three or four petals, but Chu Kuangren could fully open the Golden Lotus. The difference was too big!
"I can't believe there's such a big difference between us!" Yeh Lei gripped his wine glass so hard that his knuckles turned white. A hint of jealousy flashed across his eyes.
With a crack, the glass shattered and the wine spilled all over the floor.
