However, in this age of geniuses, one year was sufficient to change the situation. The old and the new would replace each other.
The two remained silent for a while. Then, Bai Qi said with some yearning, "The Tianwu Domain has changed!"
The Tianwu Domain has changed. Xiao Chen thought about this a few times. Then, he took a sip of wine and asked seriously, "How did it change?"
"Of the seven giants, An Junxi relied on the True Dragon Lightning Whip to finally have a weapon to deal with the Divine Martial Gate's Holy Son, Feng Wuji. The two fought for three days and three nights. Feng Wuji had the upper hand, but he could not do anything to An Junxi.
He could only call it a draw. "Bai Qi put down his wine cup and spoke in a calm and unhurried tone. However, what he said still startled Xiao Chen, who was already prepared.
For a long time, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters seemed to be naturally superior in the Tianwu Domain. No one would compare themselves to them.
When ordinary people asked who the peak experts of the younger generation of the Tianwu Domain were, the answer would definitely be the seven giants. They purposely left out the Three Holy Masters. Furthermore, they did not feel that there was anything wrong with that.
The Three Holy Masters transcended the world. The Holy Sons and Holy Daughters normally did not move around the Tianwu Domain, so it was difficult to see them in person. To the younger generation of the Tianwu Domain, the Three Holy Masters were too distant. They were like living legends.
The seven giants were the experts that could be seen. If one wanted to make a name for themselves and challenge them, they would only be targets. No one would seek out the Three Holy Masters.
However, An Junxi had broken this legend, becoming the only person in the Tianwu Domain to be as famous as the Three Holy Masters in the past ten thousand years.
Xuanyuan Zhantian could not help saying, "That battle was really intense. One comprehended the will of wind, and the other comprehended the will of thunder. Several of the Inferior Grade Martial Sages watching were so frightened that they turned pale.
"An Junxi is indeed incredible. The Holy Son, Feng Wuji, is clearly stronger than An Junxi. However, Feng Wuji cannot take him down and can only call it a truce."
Xuanyuan Zhantian's words were somewhat contradictory. However, they were easy to understand. If the other party was just slightly stronger, unless they fought to the death, there would be no way to determine a victor.
However, even in a true life-and-death battle, the possibility of the two dying together was the highest. An Junxi had to admit that this person was very strong.
"Now, there are four Holy Scions in the Tianwu Domain. The Thunder and Lightning Palace that An Junxi belongs to is slightly weaker than the Holy Lands. However, everyone acknowledges his strength, which clearly distinguishes him from the seven giants."
Bai Qi continued, "Moreover, the title of the Seven Magnates is now only in name."
Xiao Chen raised his brows and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Half a year ago, the top bladesman of the south, Feng Xingsheng, challenged Luo Zixiao, one of the seven giants. With exquisite Saber Techniques and eighty-percent-comprehended saber intent, he defeated Luo Zixiao within two hundred moves."
"The other of the seven magnates, Jiang Zeyuan, was also defeated by a mysterious swordsman from the Heaven Sword World, Duan Yi, within a hundred moves. Their undefeated record was broken, and they lost the title of the seven magnates."
"The Ximen Clan's Ximen Bao received some kind of stimulation. After he returned from the Savage Battlefield, he entered his clan's Impassable Purgatory to cultivate. He received the demonic training of the Ximen Clan's Martial Emperor, becoming neither human nor ghost."
"After Ximen Bao came out, he directly challenged the Passionate Young Master, Murong Lingfeng. Initially, no one thought highly of this profligate scion. However, he actually managed to fight to a draw with the Passionate Young Master, even nearly defeating him."
"There is also the top genius of the battle realms, Niu Deng. He is even more shocking. He directly challenged the hot-tempered Wang Meng of the seven giants and actually managed to fight to a draw."
"In the past year, several young experts have emerged, gaining a resounding reputation. The children of Luck from the various realms have all matured. They are no weaker than the seven giants of the past. "
Bai Qi said a lot in one breath. Aside from yearning, there was also a trace of desolation in his tone.
In this age of geniuses, those lower-realm experts had undergone a baptism of tempering and elimination. All those who could make a name for themselves had emerged. However, Bai Qi's name was not among them.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Based on what Bai Qi said, the Tianwu Domain had indeed changed. Of the seven giants, one advanced to the Holy Scion, two were defeated, and two fought to a draw.
For the past ten-odd years, the seven giants had dominated the Tianwu Domain's younger generation. Now, they were completely disrupted.
After a period of dormancy and accumulation, many Children of Karmic Luck from the lower dimensions that were similar to him had finally emerged and revealed their extraordinary might.
This was a grand age of geniuses that only appeared once every ten thousand years. The countless geniuses of the three thousand great realms and the vast stage finally revealed the tip of the iceberg in the Kunlun Realm's Tianwu Domain.
Whoever could stand out in the Tianwu Domain would truly gain a ticket to this stage of geniuses, gaining the qualifications to compete for the throne of this age.
Xiao Chen thought for a while. Of the seven giants, his First Senior Sister and the person he cared about the most, Bai Wuxue, did not mention anything. So, he could not help but ask.
Speaking of Shui Lingling, Bai Qi smiled gently and said, "Who dares to challenge Shui Lingling? If she really gets angry, even the Scions of the Three Holy Masters would not dare to offend her.
"Her archery is publicly recognized as the best in the Tianwu Domain. However, she is slightly weaker in close combat. If you keep a distance from her, you might end up riddled with holes.
"As for Bai Wuxue …"
At the mention of Bai Wuxue, a demonic genius with the same surname as him, Bai Qi paused for a moment. His expression turned somewhat grave as he said, "Xiao Chen, it is not that I do not have confidence in you. It is just that … I advise you to give up on your challenge with him. No one will laugh at you."
Xuanyuan Zhantian, who was at the side, revealed a similar expression. He felt that it was unfortunate for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he did not refute. He smiled and said, "Just say what you have to say."
Bai Qi gathered his emotions and said with some horror, "After he left the Savage Battlefield, he disappeared. No one knows where he went. He only returned a month ago. A lower-realm Luck bearer, who has been in the limelight recently, wanted to use him to make a name for himself.
"In the end, he froze that person into an ice pillar within ten moves. With just a gentle touch, he shattered into ice shards on the ground, not even leaving a dregs behind."
Xuanyuan Zhantian said gravely, "This is not the most horrifying thing. There was news just half a month ago that he went to the bitter cold land of the Kunlun Realm's extreme north. When he returned, he brought back a head."
Xiao Chen asked interestedly, "What head?"
Xuanyuan Zhantian whispered, "The head of a loose cultivator ranked tenth on the Evil Cultivator Ranking. That loose cultivator roamed free for a long time. He … he was an Inferior Grade Martial Sage."
Right after Xuanyuan Zhantian spoke, Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian both looked at Xiao Chen with some sympathy.
This news was very cruel to Xiao Chen. However, the truth was the truth. Bai Wuxue killed an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. Furthermore, he was a notorious loose cultivator, not an ordinary person.
Half a year ago, there might have been some people who thought highly of Xiao Chen. However, after this news came out, practically no one paid attention to Xiao Chen, who had not shown himself for a long time.
Bai Wuxue even killed an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. What was the point of this challenge? No matter how hard Xiao Chen worked, he would only become a laughing stock in the end.
He would become a decent stepping stone on Bai Wuxue's path of cultivation. Aside from that, he was nothing.
However, Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian were thoroughly disappointed. The two of them did not see any fear on Xiao Chen's face. In fact, there was not even a ripple in his expression.
Bai Qi asked probingly, "Xiao Chen, why are you not reacting at all? Right now, many people are saying that he comprehended the will of ice. His strength is probably not much weaker than An Junxi's.
"The head that he brought is the head of a Martial Sage. In the Kunlun Realm, a Martial Sage is a bona fide major character."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly to himself. What kind of reaction do I have? Not long ago, I defeated three Inferior Grade Martial Sages.
However, a loose cultivator who advanced to Martial Sage would definitely be much stronger than the Xuan Clan's Senior Elders. However, Xiao Chen fought one against three and was even stronger than Bai Wuxue.
As for the specifics, the two of them would have to fight for themselves to know. However, Xiao Chen was very confident in his will of thunder and did not fear Bai Wuxue's growth.
Demonic geniuses often had their own fortuitous encounters. Bai Wuxue's accomplishments were not too shocking.
"Dong!
Dong! Dong! "Just at this moment, chaotic footsteps rang out. A group of unwelcome guests came up the stairs.
The three people in front all had strong auras and withdrawn killing intent. This was especially so for the person in the middle. When he looked around coldly, the other customers in the restaurant felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
It was actually a Martial Sage!
A heavy and oppressive atmosphere spread throughout the restaurant. The cultivators who were swept by this person's gaze quickly paid their bills and left, afraid that they would be implicated.
When Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian saw this group of people arrive, their complexions immediately paled. They said in a trembling voice, "The Eternal Heavenly Sword School's people are here."
"Brother Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave first. The two of us will meet up with you later."
The two of them showed somewhat surprised expressions. They had not expected the Eternal Heavenly Sword School's people to arrive so quickly. Furthermore, they had not expected the other party to send out a Martial Sage for the sake of the two of them.
If there were no Martial Sages, the two of them would not be a match for these two half-Sages. However, they were confident that they could still leave.
However, the arrival of a Martial Sage caused their confidence to plummet. They were probably going to die here. Furthermore, they had implicated Xiao Chen.
The Martial Sage leading the group revealed a cold smile. Disdain filled his face as he stood upright with his hands clasped behind his back. He said in a cold voice, "I was wondering which expert had arrived. He managed to kill twenty-odd inner sect disciples of my Eternal Heavenly Sword School with a wave of his hand. It turns out that he is just a half-Sage.
"No one is allowed to leave today. The sects behind you will not be able to save you in Hunluo Province!"
The Martial Sage waved his hand, and the two half-Sages beside him led the Superior Grade Martial Monarchs behind them to charge at Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian without saying a word.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!" The group of people rushed over. Their heavy footsteps caused the floor to rumble. Their killing Qi spread out and formed formless shockwaves.
Many porcelain vases that were used to decorate the floors cracked, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely depressing.
Bai Qi and Xuanyuan Zhantian showed grave expressions. They stretched out their hands and grasped the weapons in their hands.
Just as the battle was about to start, Xiao Chen, who was seated at the table, looked at the two half-Sages with strong auras. His lips curled up in a cold smile.
