Ancient Phoenix Domain, Bright Phoenix City.
This was a large city, even larger than Heavenly Phoenix City. This city was bustling with people coming and going like a tide.
Chen Zong was sitting in a restaurant. This restaurant was the largest restaurant in Bright Phoenix City, and it was also the most famous restaurant. Similarly, it was also the most expensive restaurant. A meal would cost at least tens of Profound Coins, and a better meal would cost over a hundred Profound Coins. Ordinary cultivators would not be able to afford it.
Chen Zong had more than 100,000 cultivation coins on him. Naturally, he wouldn't be stingy with those cultivation coins. What was the use of money?
It was to make his life more comfortable.
Moreover, Chen Zong's method of obtaining these cultivation coins was relatively simple.
He ordered a table of delicacies and a bottle of fine wine. It directly cost more than 200 cultivation coins. However, the taste was indeed worthy of the price. It was very good. Chen Zong liked it very much.
Even Chen Zong planned to take some of the delicacies and wine from this restaurant when he left so that he could taste them himself.
Although the cost of this restaurant was very high, there were many people who came. It was indeed unique.
Chen Zong tasted the fine wine and delicacies while looking at the scenery outside the window. It was a green lake that was very vast. There were flower boats sailing slowly on the lake, and the weeping willows by the lake swayed with the wind.
The clear water and blue sky were picturesque.
In the restaurant, many people were tasting the delicacies and chatting.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps rang out. It was like rapid drumbeats rushing up the restaurant.
"It's out, it's out."
Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, there was an excited shout.
"What's out?"
"Don't you know it's noisy?"
Suddenly, someone scolded.
"This batch of Taixuan Policy is out."
"What, Taixuan Policy is out?"
"Quick, go buy one."
Taixuan was a very mysterious organization in the Ancient Profound World. Perhaps other than themselves, no one knew where Taixuan was located or how many people were there.
It was very mysterious, very mysterious, so mysterious that no one knew how they were being observed. In short, every once in a while, maybe half a year, maybe a year, maybe even two or three years, Tai Xuan would give a relatively authoritative evaluation.
These evaluations would be compiled into a book called the Taixuan Strategy.
There was a lot of information recorded in the Taixuan Law.
Of course, there were also differences in the Taixuan Policy. It was divided into two types, the main policy and the sub-policies.
The so-called Chief Policy was the Supreme Mystery Policy that included the entire Ancient Mystic World. It recorded the top geniuses and experts in the entire Ancient Mystic World.
As for the sub-policies, they were recorded within each domain. For example, the Ancient Phoenix Domain.
The sub-policies were evaluated once a year, and the chief policy was usually evaluated for three to five years.
What appeared now was the Ancient Phoenix Domain's Great Mystery Division. It recorded the geniuses of the Ancient Phoenix Domain.
Every time the Taixuan Policy was released, it would attract a wave of attention.
"Hahahaha, I've already snatched one." The person who rushed up the restaurant was suddenly very proud and laughed.
The Taixuan Policy was not unlimited. It was limited. Whether one could snatch it or not depended on the person. Moreover, the Taixuan Policy was not expensive at all. It only cost one hundred cultivation coins.
One hundred cultivation coins sounded like a lot, but sometimes it was just the money for a meal or a drink.
It was very cost-effective to buy a Taixuan Policy that recorded the information of many geniuses with the price of a meal or a drink.
Therefore, every time the Taixuan Policy appeared, it would lead to a round of fighting.
Chen Zong also showed a look of curiosity as he looked at the book in the hands of the person who was holding it up high.
This book was thread-bound and looked simple and unadorned in dark gold. The surface looked like it was frosted and had an ancient charm. Just by looking at it, one could feel that it was extraordinary.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to it. Some even looked like they were gnashing their teeth. Looking at the proud look on his face, they couldn't wait to pounce on him and bite him a few times.
"Cut the crap. Open it quickly."
"Open it quickly."
The crowd didn't leave the restaurant. Instead, they asked the person to open the Taixuan Policy. They couldn't wait to take a look.
Chen Zong was also very curious. He didn't know if his name and title would appear in the Taixuan Policy. If there was, it meant that his reputation had indeed been promoted. It was like an official recognition of authority.
"I'll open it now. I'll open it now." The person didn't dare to be too proud. He didn't want to cause public anger and be besieged. He immediately opened the Taixuan Policy. Immediately, a circle of people surrounded him.
"Let's take a look at the geniuses who have changed first." Someone suggested.
Every time the Taixuan Policy was released, there would be new geniuses. There would also be a rise or fall in the evaluation of geniuses.
This kind of evaluation was quite authoritative, but it wasn't permanent. After all, different cultivators would have different degrees of changes when they obtained different opportunities. It was possible that their talent and potential would be improved, which would bring great benefits to their future cultivation.
However, there were also geniuses who were weakened for various reasons. Naturally, they would be downgraded in the evaluation.
For example, Tantai Bai Mu was evaluated as a top genius last time. He had the potential of an eleven-star battle strength. But now, it was gone because he had been crippled by Chen Zong.
Sure enough, the first thing that everyone saw was the news about Tantai Bai Mu.
"Tantai Bai Mu, who has the Wind of Extinction bloodline, has been crippled."
"It's terrible."
"How did he do it?"
"It's written very clearly that the person who crippled Wind Spirit Tantai Bai Mu is Chen Zong, who claims to be the Unparalleled Sword. It also mentioned the conflict between the two."
"It's really pitiful. He's a top genius after all. The Wind of Extinction bloodline is ranked in the top 100 among the Heavenly Bloodlines. He's talented and has endless potential. After a few hundred years of cultivation, he might have the battle strength of the Transcendent Realm." Someone said regretfully.
"By the way, this Unparalleled Sword Chen Zong has been in the limelight for the past few months."
"It's said that this person is challenging people everywhere and winning every battle. And after winning, he wants people to promote his reputation. It's really strange."
"He must be crazy to be famous," someone muttered.
They didn't know that at this moment, Chen Zong was in the restaurant.
Although the Unparalleled Sword Chen Zong was already very famous, most people had only heard of the name and had never seen the real person. Therefore, they didn't know that Chen Zong was sitting in the restaurant.
Continuing to read, some geniuses were promoted from the Heaven's Pride level to the top genius level. Some top geniuses were promoted to the Exceptional Heaven's Pride level, but some were downgraded.
"I see, it's the Unparalleled Sword Chen Zong."
"Let's take a look."
Everyone was in high spirits. After all, the Unparalleled Sword Chen Zong had been in the limelight recently.
"Sword Cultivator Chen Zong, suspected to be an itinerant cultivator, first appeared in Sky Phoenix City, like a group of geniuses, to see the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden …"
Someone immediately read out the contents of the Taixuan Policy, which was also transmitted to Chen Zong's ears. Chen Zong was secretly surprised.
It was recorded in such detail. It could be said that except for his identity as coming from the outer universe, everything from the moment he entered the inner universe to when he met Yang Yi and the others until the major events that happened a few days ago was described in detail.
For example, everything that happened in Sky Phoenix City, including the Battle Star Pagoda, the fight for the name cards, the Morning Phoenix Banquet, after that, he got rid of the Green Wolf Bastion, went around challenging Heaven Stage masters with the battle power of the Low Extremity, and fought with Tantai Baimu and the others.
As Chen Zong listened, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
It was as if there was an invisible person following him all the time, recording his every move in detail.
Who liked to be stared at like this?
There was no one around. The feeling of being exposed to the gazes of others was not a comfortable thing. Soon after, Chen Zong frowned slightly and became puzzled.
If there was really someone following him all the time, why didn't he feel anything at all?
He didn't feel anything once, twice, or three times, but it was impossible that he didn't feel anything every time. Besides, sometimes he was walking alone in the wilderness, and there was no one else within a radius of ten miles. Chen Zong was still very confident in his perception.
To be able to hide from his senses, what kind of expert was that?
Was the Taixuan Policy really so amazing that it could casually send such an amazing master to secretly follow him all the time and observe his every move?
It was impossible no matter how he thought about it.
Besides, the Taixuan Policy recorded not only him, but also other geniuses, and even monster-level invincible Heaven Stage masters. They would also be recorded in the Taixuan Policy.
How could a powerhouse of that level follow and observe in secret without being discovered?
Could it be that a Saint-level master was dispatched?
Chen Zong decisively overturned this guess. It should be a treasure, a powerful treasure that could unknowingly observe a group of geniuses.
Although he didn't like being observed, there was nothing he could do.
"… Chen Zong's swordsmanship is superb. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is unparalleled, but he does have a bit of unparalleled talent …"
"… According to the Taixuan Policy, this child may be a peerless genius …"
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations in the restaurant, and such exclamations also sounded in other places.
A peerless genius, that was not a simple evaluation. In the vast Ancient Phoenix Domain, there were not many people who were evaluated as peerless geniuses. On the contrary, there were very few of them.
Therefore, when the Taixuan Policy described it as such, it directly caused many people to be surprised and shocked.
In the restaurant, Chen Zong was also slightly stunned.
A peerless genius!
This was indeed a very good evaluation.
However, Chen Zong felt that there seemed to be some unforeseen circumstances, because the language of the description was "perhaps", not "certainly".
"… However, according to the Taixuan Policy's final evaluation, Chen Zong is not a peerless genius, not a top genius, and definitely not a genius …"
For a time, everyone was surprised.
The achievements mentioned above all showed that Chen Zong was extraordinary. Why couldn't he be a genius? The answer was at the end.
"A few hundred years old!"
"What, that Chen Zong's age is actually a few hundred years old."
"Impossible, it's said that that guy looks quite young, less than a hundred years old."
"Haha, it must be some old guy who cultivated some special secret method to maintain his young appearance. In fact, he is no longer young."
