148: Chapter 148: The old man was dumbfounded when he entered the Jidao Tower

Outside Tianxuan Peak, streaks of light surrounded the entire peak. These were Disciples rushing from all directions. When they saw the peerless figure in the distance, their eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"It's really Senior Brother Jiang Xuan!"

"We pay our respects to Saint!"

All the Holy Land Disciples bowed in unison, their eyes filled with adoration. Not a single one of the tens of thousands of Disciples failed to show reverence; this was Jiang Xuan's charisma.

Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, and a Holy Dao power lifted everyone. "Fellow Disciples, you may rise."

The crowd looked up at their idol, their shining eyes like countless stars surrounding the bright moon in their hearts.

"After not seeing him for many days, Senior Brother Jiang Xuan has become even more extraordinary and ethereal, beyond reach," a Disciple in the crowd exclaimed with emotion.

"Indeed. I remember when Senior Brother Jiang Xuan first arrived, his Cultivation Technique was the lowest among that batch of assessment Disciples. Later, he rose step by step, shocking the entire Holy Land. And now, in just a few short years, he has become the Prodigy of the younger generation on the continent."

"He truly is a role model for our generation!"

"Hehe, to be honest with you, when I go out now, those who used to look down on me, once they know I'm Senior Brother Jiang Xuan's fellow Disciple, they can't wait to worship me. Those expressions, tsk tsk."

"What's that? I heard there was a Disciple who was abandoned by his fiancée. Later, when she found out he was Senior Brother Jiang Xuan's fellow Disciple, she cried and begged for forgiveness all day, even willing to be a concubine..."

"What! That's so explosive, something like that happened? Is it real or fake?"

"Absolutely true, I swear on this," a Holy Land Disciple said, pressing his pinky against his thumb, vowing solemnly.

For a time, the Disciples chatted incessantly, one after another, creating a lively scene.

Lin Wuyuan and the others laughed, "Haha, Jiang Xuan, it seems that in this Holy Land, I, the Holy Lord, am not as popular as you."

Man Dali, beside him, grinned foolishly, "Hehe, as expected of my boss, his charisma is just immense."

Jiang Xuan's lips curled slightly, and he sighed inwardly, "Alas, I've tried my best to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it."

The Vermilion Bird at the entrance said, "So?"

"Holy Lord, I want to challenge the Extreme Dao Tower again!"

At this moment, Jiang Xuan's voice rang out. Lin Wuyuan's expression was startled, then he nodded and said, "With your current strength, perhaps you might even reach the top."

Before long, outside the Extreme Dao Tower, countless Disciple figures stood densely packed. Upon hearing that Jiang Xuan was going to ascend the Extreme Dao Tower again, they all followed to cheer him on.

Perhaps, today they could witness history!

In front of the Disciples, Lin Wuyuan, Wu Tian, and others were all present, including Man Dali, their eyes filled with trust in Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan stood at the base of the tower, looking up at the hundred-meter-tall giant tower. He recalled the first time he challenged the tower and the white-haired elder's hundred-year pact.

Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes. Now that he had reached the Great Saint Realm, reaching the top was as easy as picking something from a bag!

With his mind set, he no longer hesitated, flying into the Extreme Dao Tower and heading straight for the twenty-sixth floor.

Among the Disciples, "Do you think Senior Brother Jiang Xuan can reach the top?"

"Can he?" The surrounding Disciples gave him an annoyed look.

"Please remove the 'can he?' Senior Brother Jiang Xuan will definitely reach the top!"

...On the twenty-sixth floor of the Extreme Dao Tower, Jiang Xuan looked at the familiar scene inside the tower and cupped his fists towards the Void Realm, saying, "Senior, Junior Jiang Xuan has come to fulfill the hundred-year pact."

In the Void Realm, a ripple came, and the figure of the white-haired elder gradually emerged.

Slowly opening his eyes, the elder's eyes were full of vicissitudes. Has another hundred years passed? Time flies so fast.

The elder looked at Jiang Xuan, felt the aura of a Great Saint within him, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Not bad, I truly didn't misjudge you. In a hundred years, little friend, you have exceeded my expectations, having already reached the Great Saint Realm. Haha, good, good, good."

Jiang Xuan's expression was strange. "Senior, from the time Junior left until he re-entered this place, less than ten years have passed in the outside world."

The elder hadn't reacted yet, stroking his grizzled beard and nodding, "En, not bad, less than ten years..."

At this point, the elder suddenly froze, his beard trembling, and he said uncertainly, "What did you say? Less than ten years?"

Jiang Xuan nodded, "Exactly."

"Swish!"

The elder's figure suddenly disappeared, and not long after, reappeared in the Void Realm, a hint of shock added to his ancient eyes.

He had confirmed from the outside world that Jiang Xuan had not lied to him, which meant that this little fellow in front of him had gone from a Spirit Connection Realm novice to a Great Saint in less than ten years!

The white-haired elder was somewhat incredulous for a moment. He was an artifact spirit that had existed since the time of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land's first-generation Old Ancestor, having experienced the darkest era of the Demon Race invasion and the golden ages of ancient and primordial times. What kind of Prodigy hadn't he seen?

But even so, no one had ever been able to be as monstrous as Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan saw the elder staring at him blankly and spoke to remind him, "Senior, Senior?"

"Ah?"

Hearing the call, the elder came back to his senses, his eyes still holding a look of shock.

"Can I challenge the tower now?" Jiang Xuan asked with a smile.

The elder nodded and said mechanically, "Oh oh, you can."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan's Battle Intent surged in his eyes, and he stepped into the Void Realm gate towards the twenty-seventh floor.

The elder watched Jiang Xuan's disappearing back in the light gate, remaining silent for a long time. After a while, he whispered, "Unprecedented, never to be surpassed."

On the thirtieth floor of the Extreme Dao Tower, Jiang Xuan stood in the Universe Void Realm. Releasing his Great Saint power, he struck out with a palm, instantly shattering the 'Jiang Xuan' with the Cultivation Technique of a Supreme Saint opposite him.

The last floor of the Extreme Dao Tower, unable to withstand a single blow!

If he were in the Saint Realm, it might have taken some effort, as it was another version of himself. But now that he had stepped into the Great Saint Realm, the limit of the Extreme Dao Tower was only the Saint Realm. This Cultivation Technique was no different from an ant in his eyes.

The white-haired elder's figure reappeared, his eyes smiling. "Congratulations, little friend, you have passed the last floor of the Extreme Dao Tower. The Extreme Dao path has already reached the Saint Dao Realm.

Just one more step, and you can reach a Realm no one has ever reached. Master's Heavenly Emperor Art finally has hope. You are the most monstrous person this old man has seen in many years."

Jiang Xuan cupped his fists, "Senior, you overpraise me. Junior merely stands on the shoulders of predecessors."

The elder shook his head, "Little friend, there's no need to be modest. The experience of predecessors is certainly important, but if one lacks a strong will and an unwavering belief in the Dao of martial arts, it is merely a waste of valuable resources."

After speaking, the elder flicked his sleeve, and three boxes instantly appeared before Jiang Xuan.

Immediately, the elder continued, "Little friend, I once said that when you pass the last floor of the Extreme Dao Tower, there will be a surprise.

These are the gifts I give you, left by the three first-generation Ancestral Masters. No one has ever opened them.

Jiang Xuan's expression brightened. The first-generation Ancestral Masters were the three Great Emperor Old Ancestors who founded the Supreme Beginning Holy Land. Jiang Xuan had already seen their illusory figures twice.

He wondered what the Old Ancestors would leave behind. Jiang Xuan looked at the three boxes before him, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He reached out and opened the first box. Seeing the item inside, Jiang Xuan's eyes showed confusion. It was actually a scroll. Could it be some powerful Cultivation Technique?

Picking up the scroll, an ancient aura wafted over him. Jiang Xuan slowly opened it. However, when he saw the first line of text within the scroll, his face instantly changed dramatically.

"Little friend Jiang Xuan, I am the first-generation Holy Land Master, Emperor Shijue!"
