Over the next two days, Fang Xingjian passed down all the arrangements to his subordinates. The materials for the ninth and tenth levels of the mystical prints continued to be gathered, and the Eastern Sand Region's Wang Clan's team continued to make arrangements to make preparations to forge Divine Remains Equipment.
During these two days, Fang Xingjian had also let Lilia experience Heaven's Perception three times consecutively.
After these three experiences, coupled with the effects of the mystical prints, Lilia entered a dazed state. It was as if she would step into a brand new realm at any moment.
It was also during these two days that a tremendous amount of materials that could be used to speed up the condensation of specialty seeds were sent into Fang Xingjian's Gates of the Netherworld. He brought them along with him at all times to help in the condensation of specialty seeds.
Therefore, after making all the arrangements, Fang Xingjian announced to the public that he would be going into seclusion.
However, during the few days when Fang Xingjian had suppressed the factions in the Great Western Region, searched for a base, defeated Number 10, and then returned to the Great Western Region to make arrangements and go into seclusion, a man by the name of Tian Yi appeared out of nowhere in the Great Western City.
This Tian Yi, who claimed to be the Unparalleled Sect's Sect Master, displayed terrifying abilities the moment he appeared. He was not a Demigod, but he was comparable to one.
He challenged the eight strongest martial techniques factions in the Great Western City. Not only did he not lose a single time, but he also defeated his opponents without needing a second move.
However, what really made him famous was that he had headed to the Illumination Society's headquarters alone and defeated the Illumination Society's Chief and many other experts who had just returned.
He had also only used two moves to defeat the Illumination Society's Chief.
Although many of the Illumination Society's disciples claimed that the Illumination Society's Chief had been seriously injured, a victory was a victory, and a defeat was a defeat. Tian Yi had become another genius expert of the Great Western Region almost overnight.
He then consecutively defeated the top three students from the Great Western Region Regional Academy, gaining even more fame. He was said to be the strongest genius amongst the younger generation in the Great Western Region, with the exception of Fang Xingjian.
Just as he was in the eye of the storm, he issued a challenge to Fang Xingjian, who was in seclusion.
...
On the rooftop of the highest restaurant in the Great Western City, Tian Yi smiled as he looked at the scenery of the entire city. It was as if he wanted to bring the entire Great Western City into his embrace.
Just then, the door behind him was pushed open slowly, and the Myriad Stars Palace's Divine level disciple, Hoult, walked in slowly. The moment he entered, he frowned and asked, "Brother Tianyi, why did you think of challenging Fang Xingjian?"
Hoult and Tian Yi had gotten to know each other at a gathering. Tian Yi still held this Divine level expert's disciple in high regard. Moreover, Hoult's Myriad Stars Palace had a long legacy and had taught Tian Yi a lot of knowledge that Hoult had not known before. This allowed him to understand a lot of information about Demigods and Divine level experts. Hoult's Stalwart Eidolon Conviction improved further and gained all sorts of unbelievable profoundness.
"Oh? Why can't he challenge Fang Xingjian? " Tian Yi smiled and said, "He's recognized as the strongest genius of this generation in the Great Western Region, while I'm recognized as the second strongest. Of course, I have to challenge him and become the undisputed number one."
"But Fang Xingjian has defeated the Supreme Chief and the other two. His cultivation is already at the Demigod level." Hoult tried to persuade Tian Yi to give up on the challenge. "Why don't you train hard for a few more days and challenge him after you've stepped into the Demigod realm?"
"Two days ago, I made a trip to the Governor's manor at night."
"What?" Hoult lifted his head abruptly. The Great Western Region's Governor Devitt was a level 29 expert in the second tier. Although he had yet to step into the Demigod realm, he was still very powerful and had profound Killing techniques. Moreover, after he had learned Fang Xingjian's Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves, he had become extremely powerful. To Hoult, he was unfathomable.
Hoult asked nervously, "You fought with the Governor?"
Tian Yi nodded and said, "We exchanged three moves. Just as I was about to defeat him, another two experts who were not much weaker than him came. However, they weren't the key. With my current cultivation, it would only take me a little more effort to defeat them. "However, I sensed that there was a vast consciousness hidden in the Governor's manor. He focused his attention on me. If I were to continue fighting, I wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand. Therefore, I retreated."
Hearing Tian Yi's words, Hoult's heart was in turmoil. He had not expected Tian Yi to be so daring.
Hoult guessed that the two experts who were not much weaker than Devitt should be the Governor from two generations ago, as well as the current Deputy Governor.
As for the hidden consciousness that Tian Yi had mentioned...
"It's a good thing that you didn't make a move against that powerful hidden consciousness. It's very likely that it's the Second Prince's Thought Across A Thousand Li."
"The Second Prince?" Tian Yi let out a soft laugh and said, "I'll have to fight him sooner or later."
Hoult sighed, "To think that you were able to retreat so easily from the Governor and the other two... It's true that you have some hope of fighting against Fang Xingjian. "However, Fang Xingjian has defeated The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief after all. His sword arts are unfathomable..."
Hearing Hoult's worries, the smile on Tian Yi's face became increasingly confident and at ease.
He took one step at a time, and with each step he took, the surrounding space seemed to be trembling. It was as if the space was shattering, and the ground under his feet seemed to have turned into seawater, undulating incessantly.
Under Hoult's astonished gaze, the colors in the space were peeled off bit by bit, just like a broken television lens. The surface of the scene shattered, and the entire space turned from a room in a restaurant to a street in the Great Western Region.
Seeing that he had turned from a restaurant into a street, and that the people around him were not the least bit surprised, Hoult looked at Tian Yi in astonishment and asked, "What on earth did you do?"
"Ever since you told me about how powerful Demigods and Divine level experts are, I've thought about it for a very long time and finally understood something," Tian Yi said slowly. "There's a limit to one's physical strength, but only one's will can become infinitely powerful. Because of this, I've also comprehended the true profoundness of the Stalwart Eidolon Conviction. "In the past, I focused all my attention on the power of my physical body. It was extremely foolish.
"To slay a person, one must first slay their soul. Compared to attacking the physical body, it's far inferior to attacking the consciousness directly."
As Hoult spoke, the scene before him kept on changing. There were streets, plains, rivers, and snowy mountains.
Various scenes appeared before him as if he was looking at flowers on horseback.
No matter how he performed his Heaven's Perception and how sharp his five senses were, he was unable to detect any abnormalities.
Hoult said in astonishment, "You've completely taken control of my consciousness?"
"That's right. A fight between cultivators is a fight between wills," Tian Yi said calmly. "In the path of Knights, the will is number one. "And my Stalwart Eidolon Conviction excels in the use of the power of the will. As long as I'm willing to, I can let you see or feel anything I want you to feel right now.
"I call this move God's Perception."
Hoult's eyes were wide open as he saw the surrounding space changing rapidly. The entire land continued to shrink and eventually appeared in Tian Yi's palm.
"This is the power of the number one in the world."
Right now, Tian Yi had almost completely given up on strengthening his physical body. He had completely transferred the powers of the Stalwart Eidolon Conviction to his spirit and will, and they had become unbelievably powerful.
...
On the day that Tian Yi challenged Fang Xingjian to a battle, Zhou Xingwen stood outside Fang Xingjian's training room and mumbled to himself, "As expected, Xingjian still isn't going to come out to fight?"
Just as he was thinking of this, he lowered his head and saw that a letter had unknowingly appeared in his hand. He did not even realize when this letter had landed in his hands.
Similarly, even though he had not heard Fang Xingjian speaking to him, he knew that this letter was something that Fang Xingjian had wanted him to hand to Tian Yi. It was as if this matter had existed in his memories all along.
