"Ah?"
Xue Gan was stunned.
I asked you how much of your strength you used, and you told me about math and decimals … What the heck?
Infinite loop … What the heck is that?
Peng!
Unable to take it any longer, Xue Gan's body dissipated into specks of light before vanishing from the spot.
Even in the face of death, one would have a mental breakdown.
The surroundings fell silent as everyone's eyebrows shot up in astonishment.
Clearly, everyone thought that World's Edge wasn't speaking the truth but was toying with the other party.
Otherwise, no matter how precise his control over his strength was, it couldn't possibly be down to a decimal point, right?
Infinite loop … Decimal your head!
Can't you be more reliable?
Xue Qin's face warped in horror upon seeing the crowd's reaction.
She could accept that Senior Huo Jianghe was unable to withstand World's Edge. After all, he was still young, and his potential and future lay ahead of him.
On the other hand, his father was a city lord, and his cultivation had reached Ancient Sage 4-dan primary stage. His comprehension of cultivation had already reached the level of perfection. Under such circumstances, he would not be a match for World's Edge even if they were of the same cultivation realm.
Where in the world did this fellow come from? How could he be so powerful?
If there was really such a figure in Starlight City, he would have made a name for himself by now!
"At most, I won't be in a hurry to enter the City Lord Manor for the time being. If he dares to cause trouble in the City Lord Manor, I won't let him off so easily," Xue Qin harrumphed coldly as she clenched her fists tightly.
As long as she didn't enter the Ethereal Hall, what could World's Edge possibly do to her?
If he dared to enter the City Lord Manor and reveal his true form, she would definitely kill him!
With such thoughts in mind, Xue Qin heaved a sigh of relief.
Hu!
With a flash of light, Xue Qin vanished from sight.
"I can't tell the truth either …"
Seeing the expressions of Xue Gan and the others, Zhang Xuan knew that what he had just said was nonsense. Thus, he shook his head helplessly.
To be more exact, he had only used a sixth of his strength. To be more exact, he had only used 1.66% of his strength.
You must know how much strength I used, but you won't believe me even if I tell you the truth … It's really hard to be a good person!
Walking down the dueling ring, Zhang Xuan destroyed the item that represented his location before returning to the front desk. He passed his Ethereal Card over.
As expected, there were already 600,000 Ethereal Coins in there. Huo Jianghe and Xue Gan had brought their weapons, and each of them was worth 50,000 Ethereal Coins.
After exchanging for a storage ring, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, Yun Feiyang, whom he had defeated a moment ago, suddenly walked up to him with a name scroll in hand.
"Senior Tian Ya, Elder Lu wants to talk to you alone. Is it convenient for you?"
"Elder Lu?"
If the other party was from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, wouldn't that mean that the other party was an elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion?
"Alright!"
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan nodded.
As one of the Six Powers of the Azure, Zhang Xuan was bound to be an extraordinary figure since he was able to become an elder of the Azure. It was a good opportunity for Zhang Xuan to learn more about the Azure and ask about Spirit God Palace.
Back when he was still in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, an expert had come to summon the Spirit God and informed him that Lozosy was in the Spirit God Palace.
As long as he could find this place, he should be able to find the other party.
Following behind Yun Feiyang, they soon arrived at a sealed room.
The Ethereal Hall was a place where one could conduct a duel, but it was also a place where one could converse peacefully without being disturbed. No matter what one said in the Ethereal Hall, it wouldn't be leaked to the outside world.
In the room, an elder was seated at the very center of the room. Those whom he had defeated previously were standing by the side with awkward looks on their faces.
At this moment, Huo Jianghe had also found a new Ethereal Token and returned to the Ethereal Hall.
"I am Lu Yun, an outer elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Elder Lu Yun quickly stood up and introduced himself.
"Paying respects to Elder Lu!" Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and introduced himself. "I am World's Edge!"
Zhang Xuan did not know what Elder Lu Yun's motive was, so he did not want to reveal his identity for the time being.
In the Ethereal Hall, Zhang Xuan's strength was indeed formidable. However, in the real world, he was only an Ancient Sage 4-dan primary stage cultivator. Even in Xuanjiang City, who knew how many experts he would encounter in Starlight City?
"There's no need to stand on ceremony." Elder Lu Yun could tell that Zhang Xuan was still a little wary of Zhang Xuan, so he didn't take offense to it. Chuckling, he said, "I have watched the video of your duel with them, and I can tell that your comprehension of swordsmanship has already reached the level of Divinity. However, this is the same for all cultivation techniques. To reach such a level, you'll have to rely on your heritage and resources, and as an unaffiliated cultivator, you won't be able to do so easily …"
"May I know if you're interested in joining the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion?"
From the other party's swordsmanship, Elder Lu Yun could tell that Zhang Xuan was a decisive person, so he went straight to the point.
"Join the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion?" Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully. He had thought that Elder Lu Yun was going to criticize him, but who would have thought that Elder Lu Yun would actually invite him to join the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion?
"Huo Jianghe and Xue Gan aren't a match for you in the same cultivation realm. Given your talent and capability, you should be able to apply for a slot as an inner disciple. Here, you'll be able to learn more profound swordsmanship, and there will be more disciples who wield swords to spar with. With that, you'll be able to improve much faster, "Elder Lu Yun said.
Given how Zhang Xuan was able to defeat the First Senior of the outer disciples so easily, he was already qualified to become an inner disciple.
"This … I'll have to think about it," Zhang Xuan replied hesitantly.
His goal in coming to the Azure was to find Lozosy, so he wasn't too interested in joining the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
"This is indeed a huge matter, so you'll have to think about it."
Elder Lu Yun nodded. He wasn't in a hurry.
Changing the topic, Zhang Xuan turned to Elder Lu Yun and asked, "Elder Lu Yun, I would like to ask you some questions. May I know if it's convenient for you?"
"Feel free to speak."
"May I know if … Elder Lu Yun has heard of a place called Spirit God Palace?"
Zhang Xuan asked nervously.
"Spirit God Palace?" Elder Lu Yun pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "I've never heard of it before."
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"I'm only an outer elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, and I'm responsible for guiding the students. As such, I don't know much about the affairs of the Master Teacher Continent. There are books in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion that introduce the various sects and powers of the Master Teacher Continent. You should be able to find what you want to know there. "
Elder Lu Yun replied with a bitter smile.
Even though he was an elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, he was actually one of the lowest elders in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
Since the Spirit God Palace had the word 'God' in it, it was likely that it was a place of great significance. It wasn't something that someone of his standing could understand.
"I see."
Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
That made sense. As an elder in charge of recruiting menial disciples and outer disciples, it was unlikely that he would know anything about the Spirit God Palace. Otherwise, the deity that he had summoned back then wouldn't have chosen to remain silent.
"It just so happens that I have a question regarding cultivation. Cultivators can be divided into Saint, Great Sage, and Ancient Sage. May I know what's above Ancient Sage?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"The highest realm of Ancient Sage is Dimension Shatterer realm. Beyond that realm is Pseudo Immortal realm. With a single thought, one's soul would be as tough as metal, and one would be impervious to fire. I'm currently at Pseudo Immortal realm, and the City Lord of Starlight City is at the same realm as me. Similarly, Pseudo Immortal is also divided into Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Pinnacle. Beyond this realm is True Immortal. True Immortals are considered true experts on the Forsaken Continent. This is the realm that the inner elders of the sects are at. Beyond that is High Immortal realm, the Monarch of Immortals … Only the core elders of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion possess such strength! "
At this point, Elder Lu Yun sighed deeply before continuing, "These are all the realms that I know. There are bound to be more realms beyond that, but it's not something that I can come into contact with … There's no end to cultivation. Without the support of a sect, sufficient cultivation techniques, and sufficient experience, it's simply too difficult to advance one's cultivation further without the support of a sect! It's as if this knowledge is something that even ordinary disciples would know, but you have to ask for it. "
"Ancient Sage, Pseudo Immortal, True Immortal, High Immortal …"
Zhang Xuan nodded as he memorized these four realms.
"Given your swordsmanship and my recommendation, it should be easy for you to become an inner disciple. May I know where you are at the moment? If there's no other choice, we can meet to discuss it, "Elder Lu Yun said.
No matter how much they talked about it, it would be pointless. They had to meet the person in person before they could ascertain the other party's cultivation realm, whether it was a man or a woman.
"I'm in Xuanjiang City right now. As long as Elder Lu Yun comes over, we'll meet. Furthermore, there's something that I'll need to trouble Senior Huo with, "Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
"Xuanjiang City?"
Elder Lu Yun shot a glance at Huo Jianghe, and the latter was clearly stunned as well.
When did such a formidable expert appear in such a backward place?
"As long as it's within my means, feel free to speak your mind!" Huo Jianghe clasped his fist.
"It's like this …" Zhang Xuan quickly explained the matter. After which, he clasped his fist and bowed deeply. "I'll be troubling Senior Huo with this matter then. I won't be bothering you anymore. Farewell!"
Zhang Xuan had expressed his goodwill and asked what he wanted to know, so he decided to leave.
He returned to the reception counter and asked the attendant, "May I know if you have any pills or treasures that can allow one to swiftly recover their strength?"
"We do have Low-tier Immortal Pills for sale. Each costs 100,000 Ethereal Coins!"
The attendant replied.
"Low-tier Immortal Pills?" A hundred thousand gold coins? "Zhang Xuan was astonished.
After asking around, he finally came to a realization.
Similar to spirit stones on the Master Teacher Continent, Low-tier Immortal Pills were categorized into four tiers — Low-tier, Middle-tier, High-tier, and Pinnacle.
Low-tier Immortal Pills were highly effective for cultivators beneath Pseudo Immortal, Middle-tier Immortal Pills were for True Immortals, and High-tier Immortals were for High Immortals. As for Pinnacle Immortal Pills, they were simply too rare. As such, not many people had seen them before.
Yet, a single Low-tier Immortal Pill was already priced at 100,000 Ethereal Coins. He thought that he had earned quite a bit earlier, but from the looks of it, it was still not enough.
Zhang Xuan used his remaining money to purchase a single Immortal Pill. Out of curiosity, he turned to the attendant once more.
"The Ethereal Hall is known to sell all kinds of items, including cultivation techniques and cultivation techniques. Is that true?"
"Of course!"
The attendant nodded. "However, most of the cultivation techniques that we sell are commonly used on the Master Teacher Continent. We don't have any of the core cultivation techniques of the Six Sects either!"
The Six Sects each had their own secret techniques, and it was impossible for them to leak them out. In fact, even if the Ethereal Hall were to learn of them, they wouldn't dare to sell them.
The Six Sects would allow their disciples to challenge one another in the Ethereal Hall, but if their foundation was shaken, they would have no choice but to kill them.
It was for this reason that the Ethereal Hall had always maintained a peaceful relationship with the Six Sects.
This was the bottom line that they had to uphold.
"I understand. The cultivation techniques that you sell are commonly used on the Master Teacher Continent as well … How much would it cost if I were to browse through them for a short period of time?"
Zhang Xuan asked in agitation.
Even though he had achieved a breakthrough to Dimension Shatterer realm primary stage, he didn't have a cultivation technique for that realm yet, let alone Pseudo Immortal, True Immortal, and High Immortal.
If he could purchase a cultivation technique and sufficient Basic Immortal Pills, he would be able to push for a breakthrough within a few hours. With that, it would be much easier for him to look for Lozosy's whereabouts.
"The price varies according to one's cultivation realm. The most common Dimension Shatterer realm cultivation technique manuals cost around 50,000 Ethereal Coins per book. Most of the time, we'll just buy them," the attendant replied with a shake of his head.
"50,000 Ethereal Coins per book?" Zhang Xuan's lips twitched upon hearing those words.
He had thought that the cultivation technique manuals would be cheap, so he had bought a bunch of them. He didn't think that the price would be so 'shocking'.
50,000 Ethereal Coins per book … and yet, it was the most common cultivation technique manuals. If he were to cultivate through a single round, he would need at least a thousand Ethereal Coins per book.
Not to mention, he had already harvested a batch of leeks, and he had no idea when the next batch of leeks would appear.
It seemed like buying cultivation technique manuals and gathering cultivation technique manuals was a little impractical.
"Do I really have to head to the Ethereal Hall?" Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella helplessly.
