It might be a little biased to say that the cultivation world's strict hierarchy was only determined by one's aptitude.
However, for some things, it all depended on one's aptitude.
For example, the things mentioned above were the limits of what the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect could accept.
"What, what's going on?"
"If, if there's nothing wrong with my intelligence, then Junior Brother Wu Ming is the Little, Little Grandmaster that the Deputy Palace Master of Beyond Heaven Palace mentioned?"
"Isn't, isn't he an Outer Sect disciple? He doesn't even have a master. How, how did he become a Little Grandmaster?"
"Zuo Zhuang, do you know that you are the closest to Junior Brother Wu Ming?"
"I'm not sure, but … but I can more or less understand why Senior Brother Huo Mang bowed deeply to me … oh no, to him."
…
This was the upper limit that the Yin Yang Sect's inner and outer disciples could accept.
As for Little Master Master teasing the Outer Heaven Palace Direct Disciple, or even what happened after that, they did not even dare to think about it.
As strong as the core true inheritors were, they were already "aware" of Xie Tian's identity. Hence, they were even more shocked.
"Little Grandmaster, he, he's teasing Pang Xuan?"
"This is slander, isn't it? Little Grandmaster risked his life and was even tortured by Chou Ao. How did he make fun of Pang Xuan?"
"The Deputy Palace Master of Beyond Heaven Palace personally came to slander us? This … "
"To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that even if the old ancestor were here, he wouldn't have the face to do so!"
"Hiss! In that case, Little Grandmaster really did something to Pang Xuan? "
"Teasing! Without the word 'play', you have committed the crime of deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors! "
"I'm not afraid of death. I just want to know how Little Martial Ancestor teased Pang Xuan!"
…
But even so, in the depths of their eyes, there was still a kind of shock that they didn't dare to touch.
Only Liu Yuan and Men Zhi were qualified to think about and experience this shock.
At this moment, Second Saint felt like he was being pricked by needles. His skin was cold and his heart was cold.
"The two of us address Shui Xi as Senior …"
"Shui, Shui Xi calls him Dao, fellow Dao …"
"He, he actually treats Water Stream as a fellow Daoist, treats …"
"Who, who are you …"
…
Perhaps it was because those three words were too shocking, but the two Saints stared at each other in a daze. In the next moment, they both cursed at the same time!
"Does he really think he's the Little Grandmaster?!"
"Where did he get the guts!"
"He can't see how we treat Shui Xi … Hiss!"
As Men Zhi cursed, he sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes bulging!
"No! The way he treats Shui Xi, doesn't it mean that he wasn't surprised? Moreover, he even knew that Shui Xi would come looking for him … "
Liu Yuan felt that this was reasonable, but his face immediately paled. "What, what does this mean?"
"This, this means," Men Zhi swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "He, he really tricked Pang Xuan …"
Liu Yuan took a few steps back and shook his head.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? The Old Man saw everything. It's impossible for him to play tricks on Pang Xuan!"
"Yes …" Men Zhi suppressed the waves of shock and forced himself to recall and think. "Pang Xuan didn't pay attention to him at all along the way. With Pang Xuan's intelligence, if he was being played, how could he not react? And most importantly, how could he have played Pang Xuan?"
This was also Shui Xi's doubt.
It seemed that the Xie Tian she saw through the surface of the pool was somewhat illusory. Now that they were walking side by side at a shoulder's distance, Shui Xi could truly feel the aura on Xie Tian's body.
This aura was very complicated.
But it was also very simple.
Not mentioning the complexity, the single point was that Xie Tian did not have the ability to play tricks on Pang Xuan at all.
In other words, based on the aura that Xie Tian overflowed, it was impossible for him to achieve the six abnormal trial records.
But Shui Xi was Shui Xi. While he was doubting, he also had another train of thought —
"It was clearly impossible to complete, but it was completed. Isn't this where the mystery lies?"
Therefore, after walking a small part of the mountain path and chatting for a while, Shui Xi asked with a smile, "I see that fellow Daoist is the reincarnation of an ancient ancestor?"
"How do you know?" Xie Tian asked in return.
This rhetorical question was very idiotic, but Shui Xi did not take it seriously. He still replied with a smile, "Fellow Daoist is so compatible with the primordial aura of the two God Realms. This situation can only appear on the ancient ancestor."
"How do you know that I'm not an ancient remnant species?"
Shui Xi was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Fellow Daoist, are you an ancient remnant species?"
Xie Tian smiled and said, "Your tone is the answer I want to give you."
"Haha." Shui Xi's face darkened. "Fellow Daoist, you really know how to joke."
"What's the difference between the reincarnation of an ancient ancestor and an ancient remnant species?"
Shui Xi was stunned. He felt as if he was carrying out a work called science popularization.
"At the end of the ancient era, the primordial world shattered. There were paragons who entered the divine source and transcended the ancient calamity. They have existed to this day and are ancient remnant species. The reincarnation of the ancient ancestors depends on the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
"Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
"That's right." Shui Xi could not help but be in a daze when he mentioned that part of history. "The end of the ancient primordial world also brought about the collapse of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was precisely because the Six Paths of Reincarnation collapsed that the reincarnation was disorderly. Very few ancient ancestors were able to find this path of survival and reincarnate."
"I see." Xie Tian smiled and said, "It seems that my luck is really good."
Shui Xi nodded in agreement and asked with a smile, "However, the Old Man is a little puzzled. Fellow Daoist Xiang Fu is not an ancient ancestor. What is your relationship with Xiang Fu, who is addressed as Little Grandmaster?"
Just as he was prepared to listen quietly to the answer, Xie Tian asked in return, "Who is Xiang Fu?"
The pleasant mountain breeze on the mountainside of the Tian Que Mountain that was wrapped in thick Immortal Qi suddenly became very awkward.
"Sigh, can't we have a pleasant chat …"
After being stunned for a while, Shui Xi suppressed the feeling of being fooled and said with a smile, "I'll let you know that Xiang Fu is the patriarch of the Yin Yang Sect."
Xie Tian had a look of realization.
It did not seem to be fake.
So Shui Xi was really stunned this time.
"You don't know Xiang Fu?"
"Is that very important?" Xie Tian looked at Shui Xi seriously.
Shui Xi finally could not laugh anymore.
However, the reason was not simply anger from being fooled. It was also because he was increasingly puzzled.
Because he could not understand how a Yin Yang Sect cultivator who had not even heard of Xiang Fu's name could have the confidence to first fool Pang Xuan, then face him calmly and finally fool him.
Thinking of this, the Deputy Palace Master of Beyond Heaven Palace, Shui Xi took three steps back and bowed to Xie Tian, "May I know your name?"
Xie Tian smiled and said, "The entire Round Sky Square Earth is now under your control, how could you not know?"
Because of Xie Tian's words, a bright light flashed in Shui Xi's eyes.
"Hehe, it is precisely because of this that the Old Man is puzzled."
Shui Xi stood up and said with a smile, "I originally thought that you would be called Grandmaster, who would have thought that Qiu Ao of the Love Seeking Palace would go around spreading the news that you humiliated him, and Shan Wenbai of the Emperor Dragon Sect would say that you are Nameless. Fellow cultivator, should the Old Man call you Grandmaster or Nameless?"
A smile full of kindness.
A question like a spring breeze.
However, it was like an incomparably sharp sword tip that pierced straight into Xie Tian's heart.
After piercing his heart, the sword tip turned into the cold sneer of Shui Xi — —
"Fellow cultivator, do you have the guts to be my Grandmaster?"
Xie Tian smiled and was about to open his mouth to answer when his gaze suddenly turned, looking at a certain place in the void almost at the same time as Shui Xi.
Somewhere split open.
It was dazzling with seven colors.
Pang Xuan appeared.
He nodded slightly at Shui Xi, then looked down at Xie Tian, stepping on the air as he spoke softly.
"I also want to know, should I call fellow cultivator Nameless or Grandmaster?"
As soon as his voice fell, the surroundings of the mountain rock where Xie Tian stood quickly disintegrated and disappeared in the faint seven colors, as if it was being swallowed by a seven-colored hole.
Xie Tian did not seem to realize that he was the center of the disintegration.
