The Azure Peng King's face immediately sank when he heard the Solitary Sword Ancestor's cautious message. Without a doubt, the Solitary Sword Ancestor was telling him that the middle-aged man who was only a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime in his eyes possessed an extremely powerful body.
He was so powerful that even a peak expert like the Solitary Sword Ancestor had to be cautious.
Originally, the middle-aged man had nothing to do with the Azure Peng King, but the middle-aged man just happened to want to protect Jianchen, who the Azure Peng King had already given the order to kill. This immediately made the Azure Peng King's face become rather ugly.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor fell silent when he heard the middle-aged man's words. He stared at the white-clothed, resolute middle-aged man emotionlessly, and only after quite a while did he say, "You know just how difficult it is to find a suitable successor for our Solitary Sword lineage. Gong Zheng was the only successor that the Old Man found in the vast Saints' World after so much difficulty, yet in the end, he was slain by Jianchen in Poseidon Palace before he had even fully grown up."
"If you want to protect Jianchen, how am I supposed to explain this to the past generations of our Solitary Sword lineage?"
The middle-aged man in white smiled faintly and said, "Finding a suitable successor is an extremely difficult matter for you, but for me, it's not a problem."
The Solitary Sword Ancestor's eyes narrowed when he heard that. He immediately stared at the middle-aged man with shining eyes, and a sliver of eagerness appeared on his face. He said, "Are you willing to find a suitable successor for me?"
The middle-aged man nodded, "I'm not looking for one for you. I've already found one. There are three juniors with outstanding talent who are extremely suitable to become successors of your Solitary Sword lineage."
"Three? Really? "The Solitary Sword Ancestor's face lit up as his eyes lit up.
"You know whether I'm telling the truth or not. Absolute Sword, I will use these three successors in exchange for you to withdraw your bounty on Jianchen. Furthermore, you will not continue to target Jianchen from now on. Are you willing? "The middle-aged man said indifferently.
"Alright, I'll beat you. If the three of them successfully become successors of my Solitary Sword lineage, not only will I stop targeting Jianchen, but I'll even owe you a huge favor," the Solitary Sword Ancestor said loudly. His voice was filled with excitement. It was extremely difficult to find a successor for the Solitary Sword lineage. Even in the most glorious history of the Solitary Sword lineage, there had never been more than ten successors. In his generation, there was only one successor, Gong Zheng.
As a result, the Solitary Sword Ancestor was naturally overjoyed when he suddenly received news of three successors.
"You said you came looking for me for two matters. What's the second matter?" The Solitary Sword Ancestor asked again.
"The second thing is that I want you to do it personally," the middle-aged man said.
"You want me to do it personally?" The Solitary Sword Ancestor was surprised.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man said to the Solitary Sword Ancestor secretly, "My original body is trapped. I need you to do it personally and break through the seal."
The Solitary Sword Ancestor immediately became stern. He stared at the middle-aged man deeply with his ancient eyes. After a very long moment of silence, he nodded slowly.
The middle-aged man's face did not change at all when he saw the Solitary Sword Ancestor agree. He remained calm and composed the entire time. With a wave of his hand, a piece of jade directly shot into the Solitary Sword Ancestor's hand. He said, "These are the locations of your three successors."
Afterwards, the middle-aged man no longer remained. He took a step and left, entering the Desolate Plane with composure. He did not even glance at the Azure Peng King as if he was nothing.
"Solitary Sword, who is he?" The Azure Peng King arrived before the Solitary Sword Ancestor with a flash and asked with a sunken face after the middle-aged man's departure.
The Solitary Sword Ancestor shook his head gently. He did not seem to be willing to talk too much about this person's identity. However, he opened his mouth. He wanted to remind the Azure Peng King to give up on pursuing Jianchen, but when he thought of the Azure Peng King's personality, he knew that even if he reminded the Azure Peng King, he would not be able to change the Azure Peng King's mind. In the end, he said nothing. He held the jade slip that recorded the three successors and left rather eagerly with excitement and eagerness.
The Azure Peng King's face became uneasy as he watched the Solitary Sword Ancestor leave. He stared at the Desolate Plane that hovered in outer space as the light in his eyes flickered with uncertainty.
In the end, he was still unwilling to just watch Jianchen hide on the Desolate Plane safely. He called out in outer space, "Celestial Sword Saint, the grievances of the past are already in the past. It has already been so many years, so why do you still hold onto it? If you let me enter the Desolate Plane for two hours, I, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, will definitely repay you with great gifts."
"Hahaha, if we're talking about holding onto grudges, just how many people in the entire Saints' World can compare to you, azure bird? Azure bird, I'll say it again. If you want to set foot on the Desolate Plane, you're welcome to try, "the Celestial Sword Saint replied. His voice was filled with threat and provocation. He was nowhere to be seen, but his voice boomed through outer space like a great bell.
The Azure Peng King's face darkened. He glanced in the direction of the Desolate Plane coldly before turning around and leaving with a cold snort.
However, he did not go very far. Instead, he sat down on a meteor in outer space and observed Jianchen from afar.
"Jianchen, I'd like to see just how long you can remain on the Desolate Plane." The Azure Peng King thought as he stared at the fingernail-sized Desolate Plane in outer space.
.....
Jianchen, Bai Yu, and Zhuo Feng all unleashed their full strength in the Radiant Saint Hall, charging towards the peak of the mountain. They moved extremely quickly, where they seemed like three streaks of white light. With a flash, they vanished into the forest.
Zhuo Feng was the strongest out of the three of them. He had already condensed a three-colored soulcore. He bathed in milky-white Radiant Saint Force as he ran at the very front.
After him was Bai Yu, who had condensed a two-colored soulcore. Jianchen was last.
In reality, with Jianchen's current cultivation, he could completely ignore the suppression of the mysterious power and reach the peak of the mountain in a single step. However, he was only a Radiant Saint Master who had just condensed a one-colored soulcore. As a result, the strength he displayed was completely at the level of a one-colored soulcore.
However, even with that being the case, the strength he displayed was not something a Radiant Saint Force with a one-colored soulcore could compare to. As he flew, he gradually closed the distance between him and Bai Yu.
And this was under the premise that Jianchen was holding back. He did not want to stand out too much. Otherwise, he could have surpassed Bai Yu and Zhuo Feng very easily.
In the end, Zhuo Feng was the first to reach the top of the mountain. Jian Chen sped up slightly at the last moment, so he was a step ahead of Bai Yu and became second. As a result, Bai Yu, who should have been second, ended up third.
"Junior brother, I really couldn't tell. You're actually even faster than senior sister," Bai Yu stared at Jianchen as she panted slightly.
"Very good. Since everyone's here, I formally announce that Zhuo Feng, Chang Yang, and Bai Yu will be my students from today onwards. I will be guiding you on the path of cultivation as Radiant Saint Masters in the future," Jian Chen said.
A white-robed, middle-aged man stood before the three of them. He seemed scholarly and rather scholarly, but his eyes shone brightly as he spoke to Jianchen, Bai Yu, and Bai Yu.
"From today onwards, Zhuo Feng will be the first senior brother, Chang Yang, you will be the second senior brother, and Bai Yu, you will be the junior sister," Han Xin said firmly.
"Ah! How did I become the youngest? No, no, teacher, this isn't fair. This doesn't make sense. I should be second, so why am I last? " Bai Yu refused to accept this, "Teacher, I have a two-colored soulcore, while junior Chang Yang has only just condensed a one-colored soulcore. I have no objections to senior Zhuo Feng being first, but why are you making junior Chang Yang, who's weaker than me, be ranked before me? This is clearly unfair."
Han Xin stared at Bai Yu and said, "Who told you that the higher your cultivation, the higher your rank."
"Isn't that the case?" Bai Yu pouted and said matter-of-factly. Her face was filled with resentment.
"Here, whoever reaches the peak first will be ranked first. Zhuo Feng reached the peak first, so he's the first senior brother. Chang Yang came before you, so he's second. You're last, so you're naturally third," Han Xin said firmly. Then he waved his hand and said, "Enough. This matter has been decided, so there's no need for you to say anything more. The three of you can go find a place to set up your dwelling as a place to cultivate. Come see me tomorrow morning."
"Remember, the location of the dwelling cannot exceed my territory." After saying this, Han Xin did not even look at Bai Yu's mournful face and directly left.
