Chapter 1960
At the summit of Wanshan, where clouds and mist swirl like cotton, a dueling platform paved with white marble floats above the sea of clouds. Ancient runes engraved on the platform glow with a faint golden light, separating the warships of various holy lands.
Xuan Yi, Tian Yi, and several other powerful figures were still gathered around the side of the platform, their fingertips flashing with spiritual light as they discussed the order of battle. The whispers of tens of thousands of cultivators below the platform had not yet ceased when Chen Xuan, in the center of the sword-fighting platform, stepped forward, his robes fluttering in the mountain wind.
He spoke loudly, his voice carrying spiritual power that pierced through the clouds and struck the giant ship of Yao Guang Holy Land, which was covered in azure light. The ship's hull was carved with mysterious star maps, and the azure phoenix statue at the bow, with its eyes containing crimson crystals, was trembling slightly as Chen Xuan spoke.
"I can set my own rules, which means I can choose my own opponents!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan pointed his right hand like a sword, and a silver light condensed at the tip of his finger. With a swift movement, the light landed on the deck of the Yao Guang warship.
The silver light hovered above the head of a figure in a green robe, none other than Xiao Xuanche, hailed as the first holy son of Yao Guang. He was leaning against the ship's railing, playing with a jade talisman. When the silver light locked onto him, he raised an eyebrow and a faint hint of disdain curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Are you ready for battle?!"
Chen Xuan's voice boomed again, instantly causing an uproar below the dueling platform.
"Directly naming Xiao Xuanche? Has Chen Xuan gone mad?!" A cultivator gripped his magic sword tightly, his tone filled with disbelief. "I thought he would choose a personal disciple to test the waters first, after all, Xiao Xuanche is the pillar of Yao Guang!"
"Hmph, this is quite interesting." Dao Yi stood on a cloud, his fair fingers twirling a whisk. His gaze, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, swept over Chen Xuan, whose aura was growing stronger, before returning to Xiao Xuan Che on the deck of the warship. "Judging from this situation, he and Yao Guang probably have a deep-seated grudge."
Xuan Yi shook his head upon hearing this, made a hand seal to dispel the clouds in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "That brat Xiao Xuan Che is far more powerful than he appears. Although the Xiao family's influence in the Yao Guang Holy Land is waning, I fought him three years ago in the battlefield of the Immortal Ancient Relics—"
"Oh? Is that so?" Tianyi leaned closer, the pearl string hanging from his sleeve jingling softly with his movement. "And what was the result?"
Xuan Yi sighed with a wry smile, a faint blue mark appearing on his fingertip: "In the end, I could only escape by using escape techniques. He cultivates the Xuanhuang Great Dao, which combines strength and gentleness to the extreme. He can empower his divine weapon with Xuanhuang Qi, allowing the sword to unleash the power to shatter mountains; he can also wrap his physical body. Ordinary techniques simply cannot break through his defenses. He is extremely difficult to deal with."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the direction of several warships in the distance: "You know me, I've challenged almost all the top figures of my generation. I've killed Xia Jiuyou, Han Jiuling, the Ziqing Twins, and the Tianxuan Saint. And Xiao Xuanche is definitely in the top tier of our generation."
Dao Yi's eyes brightened slightly upon hearing this, and he lightly waved his whisk to sweep away a drifting cloud: "Oh? In your heart, he actually holds such weight?"
"You'll see soon enough." Xuan Yi snorted and turned his gaze back to the dueling platform. "This kid is not only difficult to deal with in terms of magic, but he also has the secret technique of Yao Guang hidden in him. He has a deep foundation."
……
The uproar spread along the sea of clouds to the warships of other holy sites.
Bai Qianhuan, in the Sacred Land of Heartless Love, was gazing into the distance from the railing when she heard Chen Xuan's challenge. She suddenly clenched the light gauze handkerchief in her hand, and Liuli beside her also frowned, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the jade pendant at her waist.
Zi Guang from the Purple Mansion Holy Land even stood up from his seat, his spiritual energy surging so much that the jade cups around him trembled slightly.
"Brother Chen Xuan!" Zi Mang's voice was urgent as she called out towards the dueling platform, "Even if you have a deep grudge against Xiao Xuan Che, there's no need to rush things! You've only recently entered the Holy Land. If you could use the Holy Land's resources to cultivate in seclusion for a thousand years, you might not be without the power to fight back then. But now..."
As he finished speaking, his tone was full of helplessness, feeling that Chen Xuan's actions were truly risky.
