Hsu Fengnian rode the red date horse that was originally assigned to Yu Youwei and looked up at the gray sky. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be a heavy rain tonight. Based on their current speed, they could stay in Hengshui City at dusk and not travel in the rain. Lü Qiantang, who carried the Red Cloud Sword, led the way at the front. Shu Xiu and Yang Qingfeng, who did not carry weapons, were in charge of bringing up the rear. In the middle, the old Taoist priest, Wei Shuyang, spurred the horse's belly and rode side by side with Hsu Fengnian. These four personal retainers all had the strength of around the Second Rank. Even if they were to face off against a Half-Immortal like Đồng Thái and Cao Guanzi, who occupied the thrones of the top masters, they still had the strength to fight. At the very least, they could hold off the cross-eyed old man in the carriage until he finished buttoning his feet and digging his nose.
Hsu Fengnian asked softly, "Grandpa Wei, what is the strength of the Top Ten Masters? Can you explain it in simpler terms?"
Apart from Wang Xianzhi, who can't be judged by common sense, the remaining nine people, including Deng Tai 'e, the leader of the new generation of swordsmanship, Wang Mao, who uses a broken arc spear, and Cao Guanzi, are obviously in a higher realm than the other six. I reckon that the so-called Top Ten Experts in the world are just more famous, but there should be quite a number of people whose real strength is similar to the other six. This group of people can be divided into two realms. Based on my deduction, I think that the Great Spiritual Master in our sect said that the' First-class Four Levels' are divided into the Vajra Level, Finger Level, and Celestial Level. Only those in the Vajra Level can be considered to have reached a higher level in martial arts. Liu Pu, who is responsible for guarding Li Yuanying in the Tide-listening Pavilion, and Chu Kuangnu, can probably be ranked in this category. As for the Celestial Level, which is one of the higher levels, I can't say anything about it. I think that Jian Jiuhuang, who escorted His Highness on a journey of six thousand miles, is in between the two realms. Deng Tai 'e, Wang Mao, and Cao Guanzi probably entered the Celestial Level at different times. Only Wang Xianzhi has been in the Celestial Level for half of his life. It's really too high to reach, too high to reach. "
Hsu Fengnian asked softly, "Grandpa Wei, did you miss the last realm?"
Wei Shuyang laughed, "Back then, the Great Spiritual Master only said that reaching this realm would make one an Earth Immortal. I thought that if there was someone in the human world with such supernatural powers, it would only be Wang Xianzhi. Tracing back further, Qi Xuanzhen of Mount Longhu and Old Celestial Master Zhao, who changed the late emperor's fate, could be counted in. However, every hundred years, the Wu family's Sword Tomb would produce an Earth Immortal Sword. After some calculation, it's about time for them to appear. As for the Two Zen Temples, it's hard to say. There might be a Golden Arhat sitting there in the holy land of Buddhism. However, when I was as young as His Royal Highness, there were a few masters whose names were known everywhere. They were collectively known as the Four Great Grandmasters. They were more deserving of their fame than the Ten Great Masters of today. The Red Armor Talisman General in the south was wrapped in a bright red armor. His face could not be seen. The Ancestor of Fengdu in the west was a woman in a green robe. The third one is in our Beiliang. It's the Spear Immortal Wang Xiu. "
Hsu Fengnian laughed coldly, "I've heard a little about this. Chen Zhibao learned the Spear Art from him. In the end, this Great Spear Master still died in the hands of his disciple."
Wei Shuyang stroked his beard and smiled, "The last one is the most famous. No matter how many people in the world learn the sword, they couldn't avoid this mountain peak. At that time, as long as he was there, no one dared to claim that their swordsmanship was superior. It's the same as Wang Xianzhi claiming to be second and no one claiming to be first. Does His Royal Highness already know who he is? "
Hsu Fengnian nodded, "The God of Swords, Li Chungang. The Wooden Bull in his hands was broken by Wang Xianzhi's fingers. There's been no news of him since then."
Wei Shuyang, who also had a period of youth, sighed with emotion, "There are geniuses in every generation of the martial world who stand at the top for fifty years. It's said that when God of Swords roamed the martial world, his swordsmanship was the best in the world. His elegance was unparalleled. At that time, there was no woman in the world who wasn't infatuated with God of Swords. Even the green-robed woman in Fengdu was willing to be pierced by the Wooden Bull. When I was young, I always dreamed of meeting God of Swords when I went out one day. I would be satisfied if I could talk to him. When he found out that Wang Xianzhi defeated him, he couldn't accept it for a long time. He wanted to fight Wang Xianzhi to the death. I had already learned the sword for more than ten years. Later on, I gave up the sword to cultivate. The main reason was because of God of Swords' retirement. A youth who doesn't roam the martial world with a sword isn't a youth with ambition. "
Hsu Fengnian was amused by Grandpa Wei's youthful feelings. The haze in the carriage faded a little. He couldn't help but laugh, "Grandpa Wei, did you also want to be a carefree swordsman when you were young?"
Old Taoist Mi squinted his eyes and smiled, "Who hasn't been young before? I might as well tell His Royal Highness the truth. I even admired a few heroines in the past. Once, I finally got the chance to meet one of them. I couldn't help but blush and tremble. I couldn't say anything. Compared to His Royal Highness, it's like a Vajra Realm and a Heavenly Image Realm. Even five Old Taoists combined can't compare. "
Hsu Fengnian and Wei Shuyang could be considered friends despite the difference in age. When they were young, he rode on the old Taoist's neck and peed mischievously. When he entered the Tide-listening Pavilion in his youth, he was also willing to listen to Grandpa Wei's stories about mountain spirits and immortals. If it wasn't for this, with Hsu Fengnian's shrewdness and stinginess in certain matters, would he have handed over the Wudang's Deed of Thorough Comprehension to Wei Shuyang the moment he received it? He even allowed Wei Shuyang to copy it for future annotations. Did Hsu Fengnian really not know the preciousness of the Deed of Thorough Comprehension? With the Great Yellow Hall's precious jade in front of him, the thin Deed of Thorough Comprehension might be even thicker.
Hsu Fengnian chuckled, "Grandpa Wei, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground in the martial world, I'll help you dig that Li Chungang out."
