Chapter 1827
Before Chen Xuan went into seclusion, he was actually quite apprehensive. He had never truly faced the methods of a second-class True Immortal or a first-class True God. His previous understanding of these powerful individuals was merely based on some horizontal speculations made using the trump cards he possessed. He himself was unsure of how confident he was in his abilities.
But today is different—the little tower was the natal divine weapon of a half-step Great Dao Realm expert during the Immortal Ancient Era. Having witnessed the rivalry between Immortal Kings and the battles between Dao Lords, its vision and knowledge far surpass what he can compare to now.
Such a person, willing to offer serious critiques, could not possibly be making casual jokes.
"Hmph, putting aside the defensive capabilities of your lotus platform that carries the Taiyin and Taiyang Dao, just the fact that you can combine the complete array Dao with the Qiankun Dao, which is best at escaping, means that ordinary first- or second-class True Immortals can't do anything to you."
The small tower's voice came from within the tower, carrying a touch of old-fashioned certainty.
"Based on my understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao, you probably already secretly integrated the several Daos you've mastered into that lotus platform, forming a new killing move, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile and nodded frankly:
"I can't hide it from you after all. This breakthrough in both cultivation and realm, this water-fire lotus that integrates multiple Great Daos, is indeed my newly acquired trump card."
"Your little schemes are as transparent to me as if they were transparent," Xiaota scoffed, her tone tinged with arrogance.
"Boy, the years I've lived and the number of all kinds of beings I've seen are more than the number of hairs on every living being you've ever seen since you were born. You think you can hide your little schemes?"
Chen Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement, but didn't think the little tower was bragging.
After all, he is an existence that has lived from the ancient times to the present, and such experience is by no means an exaggeration.
He composed himself and his tone became sincere:
"Little Tower, I'd like to show you my offensive methods and trump cards. Could you give me an objective analysis of the combat strength of my peers in various major forces?"
After a cultivator's power increases significantly, they often first stabilize their realm before seeking ways to verify their strength level.
If you have the backing of a holy land-level power, and a powerful elder can make a decision with just a word, you will know whether to fight or flee when you encounter a strong enemy in the future.
What Chen Xuan lacks now is precisely such a "yardstick" that can see through his strength.
The small tower was silent for a moment, the runes on its surface flickered a few times, and then it said:
“Alright. But kid, remember this first lesson—even when facing your closest friends, you have to keep some cards up your sleeve. First, sink your primordial spirit into your Purple Mansion space, and then I'll see what you're capable of.”
Seeing Chen Xuan's confusion, Xiao Ta added:
"Don't ask why. In the ancient times, the Strange Clan was most skilled at infiltration. Many top geniuses with simple minds revealed all their trump cards, only to be targeted by the Strange Clan in advance and die mysteriously. Later, during the decisive battle at the Imperial Pass, our side fought so hard because too many people had been infiltrated."
Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine and silently kept those words in mind.
He had asked Xiaota many times before about the cause and effect of the war between the strange race and the cultivator civilization, but each time Xiaota would shut him down with a sentence: "At your current level, you are not even qualified to be a junior observer at the God's Gate. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Now that he has reached the late stage of the Returning to the Void Realm and has mastered four complete Great Daos, Xiaota is finally willing to bring up this ancient calamity. This shows that this analysis is by no means a simple assessment of combat strength.
In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chen Xuan's primordial spirit withdrew from the Purple Mansion space.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still brimming with barely concealed excitement—the little tower had not only seen his trump cards in the Purple Mansion space, but had also pointed out several flaws in the fusion of the Great Dao that he himself had not even noticed.
"Kid, let me warn you first, I'm only making a horizontal evaluation based on the methods and trump cards you've shown, not the only standard."
