Seeing that Jianchen had refused to represent the Qin Empire in forming an alliance with the Huang family, the ancestor of the Huang family sighed. He was not surprised by this result, because he had already guessed that Jianchen would refuse. Before, he had only been holding onto a sliver of hope, but now, Jianchen had destroyed the ancestor's last hope.
"Senior, I'm truly sorry. This matter involves too many things. I really don't dare to make the decision." Jianchen said apologetically. From the ancestor's expression, he could faintly see just how much pressure this old man was under for the sake of the Huang family.
"I can understand your difficulties. Although the Qinhuang Kingdom is one of the eight strongest kingdoms in the continent, we don't dare to look down on any Saint King level powerhouse. Furthermore, if we get involved in this matter, we will offend four Saint Kings. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't agree to this request." The Huang Ancestor sighed.
Jianchen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior, although I cannot let the Qin Empire get involved in this matter, if there is a need, I will do my best to help the Huang family."
Seeing how serious Jianchen was, the ancestor of the Huang family felt rather touched. He smiled, "Jianchen, Old Man appreciates your intentions, but a battle between Saint Rulers is not something a Heaven Saint Master can interfere with. Your talent is unparalleled, and it would not be an exaggeration to call you the greatest genius in the history of the Tian Yuan Continent. If you cultivate diligently, you will definitely surpass Old Man in the future. As a result, you should work hard to increase your strength. Once you reach Saint Ruler in the future, my Huang family might need your help."
Jianchen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior, although I know that Saint Rulers are very powerful, and I have experienced the tip of the iceberg when I was in the Sect of Dragon and Tiger, my understanding of just how powerful Saint Rulers are is still extremely vague. I wonder if senior can let me witness the strength of a Saint Ruler and see just how much of a difference there is between me and a Saint Ruler if I try my best and see if I can resist."
The reason why Jianchen said this was because he wanted to understand the strength of a Saint Ruler even more clearly. This was because the Saint Ruler of the Sect of Dragon and Tiger was already greedy for the origin energy of the sword spirits. Although his identity as the Imperial Protector made the Sect of Dragon and Tiger not dare to openly oppose him, Jianchen was afraid that the Saint Ruler of the Sect of Dragon and Tiger would secretly attack him. As long as he understood the exact strength of a Saint Ruler, then Jianchen would be able to come up with a plan in time when he was attacked by a Saint Ruler in the future.
"Jianchen, the difference between a Saint Ruler and a Heaven Saint Master is far greater than you can imagine. A Saint Ruler has already comprehended the mysteries of the world. Every action of his can use the power of the world. As the saying goes, everyone below Saint Ruler is an ant. In front of a Saint Ruler, a Heaven Saint Master is indeed as weak as an ant. However, since you want to witness the strength of a Saint Ruler, then Old Man will satisfy your curiosity." The ancestor indifferently said. As soon as he finished speaking, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared, trapping Jianchen inside like a prison.
"Jianchen, this is a barrier that only a Saint Ruler can use. It contains the laws of the world and is inextricably linked to the world. You can treat this barrier as another space. Although this barrier is extremely weak in front of a Saint Ruler, it is not something a Heaven Saint Master can break through. Only when the power of the barrier is about to run out can a Heaven Saint Master break through it." The ancestor said.
The ancestor's voice clearly reached Jianchen's ears. Hearing this, Jianchen did not waver. He immediately used the origin energy of the sword spirits. The dense violet light condensed into a sword in his right hand and immediately slashed at the barrier.
"It's useless. This is a barrier personally cast down by Old Man. Unless its power runs out, it's impossible for a Heaven Saint Master to break through. This is because this barrier involves the power of an even higher domain. It's not something a Heaven Saint Master can touch," the ancestor said with a smile. The ancestor of the Huang family smiled. He did not believe that Jian Chen could break through the barrier he had cast down.
At this moment, the origin energy of the sword spirits came into contact with the barrier. With a pop, the barrier was shattered. With a pop, Jianchen's sword pierced through the bubble-like barrier. The entire barrier was like a balloon that had been pierced through by a needle, disappearing without a trace.
The expression on Old Ancestor Huang's face suddenly froze. He stared blankly at the broken barrier in front of him, his face full of disbelief.
"How is this possible? You can actually break through the barrier cast down by Old Man!" The ancestor muttered in a daze. He was extremely shocked.
The ancestor quickly returned to normal. He curiously stared at the origin energy of the sword spirits in Jianchen's hand and sighed, "What great power."
Seeing the ancestor's expression, Jianchen could not help but smile. He clasped his hands and said, "Senior, please enlighten me!"
The ancestor stood up from the stone chair. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Jianchen. He sternly said, "Jianchen, barriers are only a technique that Saint Rulers possess. It's not a Saint Ruler's attack. Now, Old Man will show you the true difference between a Saint Ruler and a Heaven Saint Master. Feel free to attack."
Jianchen also distanced himself from the stone table. The origin energy of the sword spirits in his right hand shone with a dazzling azure light. It was like two serpents coiling around each other in the form of a yin and yang diagram, but they did not touch each other.
Jianchen calmed himself down. Against a Saint Ruler, he did not dare to hold back at all. He used all the origin energy of the sword spirits he could use to the limit. His right arm suddenly trembled. His powerful body actually turned his right arm into a blur as he stabbed forward with lightning speed.
With a flash of azure light, the origin energy of the sword spirits had already arrived three inches away from the ancestor's chest. At this moment, the origin energy could not advance any further.
Jian Chen's face changed slightly. He slid forward and pushed the origin energy of the sword spirits as hard as he could. However, no matter how hard he tried, the origin energy was unable to advance any further, not even the slightest.
Jianchen's eyes flashed. He decisively withdrew his sword and retreated. With a slight sway of his body, he circled behind the ancestor and continued to attack. However, the result was the same as last time. When the origin energy of the sword spirits was three inches away from the ancestor, it could not advance any further.
"What's going on?" Jianchen was very surprised. This was the first time he had seen a Saint Ruler's technique, but Jianchen could not understand it at all.
"Jianchen, now you understand just how great the difference between a Saint Ruler and a Heaven Saint Master is. Even if a Saint Ruler stood there without moving, a Heaven Saint Master would not be able to harm him," the ancestor gently smiled.
"Senior, can you tell me just how you did it?" Although he did not harm the ancestor at all, Jianchen was not discouraged. Instead, he asked curiously.
The ancestor turned around and looked at the lesson plan. He smiled and said, "This is the secret of space!"
"The secret of space?" Jianchen softly murmured. He frowned as if he was deep in thought.
The ancestor said, "Heaven Saint Masters control the energy of the world. They can use the energy of the world to fly. Saint Rulers have comprehended the mysteries of the world and can use the power of space. Just now, I used the power of space."
"In the eyes of others, you are only three inches away from hitting me. However, you probably don't know that this distance of three inches in the eyes of others is actually several kilometers away. Moreover, depending on the Saint Ruler's comprehension of space, this distance can be extended indefinitely. Unless you can cross this distance or break through space, you will not be able to harm a Saint Ruler."
"Space. So this is the power of space." Jianchen came to a realization. He now had a deeper understanding of the strength of a Saint Ruler. Space was just too far away from him right now.
"Now you understand how great the difference between a Saint Ruler and a Heaven Saint Master is." The ancestor said to Jianchen like a senior teaching a junior.
"I understand. The mysteries of the world really are powerful. They can actually control space. If that's the case, Saint Rulers can fly very quickly." Jianchen's face became rather stern.
"Correct!" The ancestor of the Huang family said, "Saint Rulers have already begun to comprehend the mysteries of space, so it is indeed extremely fast. A few experts who have a deep enough comprehension of space can cross several hundred or even several thousand kilometers with a single step. However, there are very few people who have reached that level of comprehension on the Tian Yuan Continent right now."
Jianchen furrowed his brows tightly because he thought of the Saint Ruler from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger. If a Saint Ruler was so fast, then he would not even have the strength to run away from a Saint Ruler. Although Jianchen was not sure whether the Saint Ruler of the Sect of Dragon and Tiger would act against him, he still needed to be on guard. He needed to be on his guard.
Afterwards, Jianchen and the ancestor chatted casually for a while before leaving the mountain. He then returned to the Huang family's villa alone.
"Fourth young master, you've returned from the ancestor's place so quickly." Just as Jianchen arrived above the Huang family's villa, the Wind and Cloud Elders flew up from below and greeted Jianchen in a friendly manner.
Jianchen smiled, "I've finished my discussion with the ancestor. I plan on returning to the Kingdom of Gesun. Thank you seniors and the Huang family for your hospitality."
The Wind and Cloud Elders looked at each other when they heard that. A sliver of worry appeared between their brows. The Wind Elder said, "Fourth young master, why are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer?"
"I have no choice. I have a bunch of friends at home. I can't just leave them all to the side. Moreover, I still have matters to attend to," Jianchen said.
"Fourth young master, it's rare for you to come to the Huang family. Why don't you go and see the young lady first?" The Wind Elder said.
Jianchen hesitated. The days he spent with Huang Luan immediately appeared in his mind. After not seeing her for so long, he missed her a little.
