Chapter 26: This Saber Was Sloppy, But Very Effective…

The Xuantian Tower once released two major lists: the Peerless Grace List and the Peerless Prodigy List.

The Peerless Grace List recorded the top one hundred beauties in the Qiongsang Domain; those who made it onto the list all possessed world-shaking beauty.

The Peerless Prodigy List, on the other hand, recorded the top one hundred Prodigies in the Qiongsang Domain, regardless of gender, based on their talent and battle achievements.

At the top of the Prodigy List was none other than Gu Shengge.

The Master of Xuantian Pavilion once evaluated Gu Shengge as such:

“He steps on a Golden Dragon, possesses Double Pupils, has the appearance of a Heavenly Sun, the potential of a True Immortal, can defeat those above his cultivation level as easily as flowing water, and is unrivaled among his peers—this is no exaggeration. There is hardly a second like him in all the world.”

Such an exaggerated evaluation was nevertheless recognized by most Cultivators in the Qiongsang Domain, because Gu Shengge’s performance was clear for all Qiong Sang Cultivators to see.

His Comprehension Ability was Heaven-Defying; Divine Abilities and secret arts that ordinary Cultivators would need ten, or even a hundred years to comprehend, Gu Shengge could fully comprehend in at most three days.

His battle achievements were glorious: he once used his Golden Core strength to forcefully slay a Demonic Beast at Nascent Soul Great Perfection, and he also ventured deep into foreign lands to rescue millions of living beings. Furthermore, right after his Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, he fought a Soul Transformation Great Demon for several days and suppressed it.

He was truly worthy of being the top Prodigy.

Gu Shengge’s arrival shocked countless Cultivators outside Xuantian City.

Although they had heard many stories about Gu Shengge, most Cultivators were seeing this Double Pupil Person for the first time.

On the Butian Treasure Ship, a graceful figure walked out. She gazed at the Golden Dragon, her eyes like autumn water, falling upon Gu Shengge’s face, as if in deep thought.

The Wine Sword Immortal of the Lingxiao Sword Sect also stopped drinking. He put down his wine gourd and stared intently at Gu Shengge, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, seemingly disdainful, yet also murderous.

On the Luo Feng Ghost Chariot, Yanluozi rose, his Battle Intent like a raging furnace, directed straight at Gu Shengge.

The Prodigies from the Sacred Sects of the great Qiong Sang sects appeared one after another, gazing at Gu Shengge. They had all heard more or less about the deeds of this Peerless Prodigy, but had never fought him, and many felt unconvinced.

Now that they saw him, they naturally wanted to compete.

However, none of them chose to be the first to step forward, for the early bird catches the worm, but also gets shot.

As the Golden Dragon flew closer and closer, someone finally could not hold back and made the first move.

A Saber Light flew out from the Breaking Heaven Mountain’s Saber Edge Battleship, heading straight for the Golden Dragon.

Roar!!

The Golden Dragon roared in anger, its Dragon claws shining with golden light as it grabbed the dazzling Saber Light. The two collided like a needle point against an awl; the Saber Light was easily blocked and crushed into fragments.

The Physical Body strength of the Dragon Clan was inherently far superior to other living beings; how could a mere Saber Qi that pierced the air harm her in the slightest?

Zhigui’s Dragon eyes glared furiously, filled with killing intent.

She had been confined in a small dark room for over three months and was already displeased. She had just come out not long ago and was already attacked.

Who could be in a good mood?

A spiritual light flew out from the Saber Edge Battleship, blocking the Golden Dragon’s path.

As the spiritual light dispersed, a burly figure appeared before the eyes of the Cultivators. He stood nine feet tall, with resolute features, dressed in a blue tight-fitting suit. Saber Qi enveloped his body, and he held a nine-ringed great saber. The saber’s body was engraved with Qiongqi beast patterns, radiating Evil Qi and sharp brilliance.

“Xiao Zhanyun of Breaking Heaven Mountain. Today, I wish to seek the Dao from the Qiankun Daozi. I wonder if Daozi dares to fight!”

Xiao Zhanyun raised his great saber high, intending to seek the Dao from Gu Shengge. His resolute face was full of Battle Intent, and his clear voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

Since no one dared to challenge the Qiankun Daozi first, then I, Xiao Zhanyun, shall be that early bird.

Let’s see whether the Qiankun Daozi’s Double Pupils are more formidable, or if his great saber is sharper!

Upon hearing Xiao Zhanyun’s name, some Cultivators immediately began to discuss.

“Xiao Zhanyun! The Saber King ranked nineteenth on the Prodigy List. He actually wants to seek the Dao from the Qiankun Daozi? He must be crazy!”

“You’re the one who’s crazy! Saber King Xiao is the strongest Prodigy of Breaking Heaven Mountain, with unfathomable strength. Not long ago, he fought a Soul Transformation Demonic King and even cut off one of the Demonic King’s legs. Even the Qiankun Daozi might not be able to block Saber King’s world-shaking saber strike!”

“Heh~ You’re dreaming. Gu Daozi once suppressed a Demonic King at the Soul Transformation Purple Mansion realm, unlike Xiao Zhanyun, who merely cut off one of the Demonic King’s legs.”

“In this old man’s opinion, this Saber King Xiao is probably going to be the first to get beaten. Look at the Prodigies from the other great sects and sacred sects; they are all holding back, wanting to use Saber King Xiao to test the waters and see the Qiankun Daozi’s methods.”

“Xiao Zhanyun is going to lose a lot of face this time.”

“…………”

Some blindly praised Xiao Zhanyun, while others believed he was destined to lose.

Xiao Zhanyun’s senses were keen. After hearing the discussions of the surrounding Cultivators, he remained unmoved, as if these idle whispers did not exist. In his eyes, there was only the white-robed figure standing atop the Golden Dragon.

Gu Shengge looked down at Xiao Zhanyun, who was raising his saber to seek the Dao. His Double Pupils flickered with golden and silver light, and Yin and Yang Qi flowed, as if evolving Chaos, yet also as deep as an abyss, captivating the soul!

He parted his thin lips slightly, his voice indifferent: “You are not my opponent. Retreat.”

“Daozi speaks too highly. How can you know if I’m not your opponent without trying?” How could Xiao Zhanyun retreat because of a single sentence from Gu Shengge?

His gaze sharpened. Since you refuse to fight, then I’ll force you to fight!

Xiao Zhanyun immediately shook his Qiongqi Heaven-Slaying Blade, and endless Saber Qi erupted from his body, sweeping across the sky and ground, tearing through the azure heaven!

The surrounding Cultivators sensed that a great battle was about to occur and quickly retreated several hundred miles away. Even the representatives of those great sects and sacred sects were no exception.

Xiao Zhanyun gazed at Gu Shengge, his Aura like a rainbow, like a peerless Divine Saber, determined to compete with him!

“Gu Daozi, please evaluate this saber strike of mine!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhanyun’s Saber Intent transformed into a thousand sharp edges, condensing endless Saber Qi. His magical power surged like a spring, his entire body’s muscles bulged, and his blood Qi raged as he fiercely swung the Qiongqi Heaven-Slaying Blade!

The next moment, a supreme Saber Qi, dozens of times more powerful than the previous Saber Qi that pierced the air, was unleashed. Wherever it passed, any object, any existence, was split in two!

The Saber Qi cut across the sky, and a difficult-to-heal crack was torn in space. Its momentum was like a Dragon, unstoppable, with no room to retreat!

This saber strike made all Heavenly Gods retreat and severed the heads of all Demonic Beasts!

This saber strike condensed Xiao Zhanyun’s lifelong Comprehension Ability of the Saber Dao—a single strike that could cut down the heavens, cut down myriad mountains, and cut down Soul Transformation Cultivators!

This saber strike… somewhat dazzled Gu Shengge’s Double Pupils.

Seeing him stubbornly persist, Gu Shengge sighed softly. Being famous brings many troubles.

Since he wanted to challenge him so much, then he would grant his wish.

Gu Shengge slowly raised his hand, forming a saber with his hand. It seemed ordinary, like a child playing.

But as he swung it, everyone’s eyes seemed to see a supreme Heavenly Saber, intending to cleave this world apart!

There was no flashy Saber Qi crisscrossing, nor earth-shattering phenomena.

Gu Shengge’s hand-saber merely swung down lightly, and the supreme Heavenly Saber in everyone’s eyes followed, directly cleaving the world-shaking saber strike, which condensed all of Xiao Zhanyun’s Saber Qi, into two halves.

In an instant, it dissipated into nothingness.

This saber strike was sloppy, but very effective.

Xiao Zhanyun saw his most proud saber strike so easily resolved and stood stunned on the spot. The Qiongqi Heaven-Slaying Blade also slipped from his hand, falling tens of thousands of feet down.

The Butian Divine Maiden’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, revealing disbelief. The Wine Sword Immortal, who was originally reclining, immediately sat upright, not even noticing his wine gourd spilling. Yanluozi’s originally high Battle Intent instantly extinguished, thoroughly defeated…

Gu Shengge’s saber strike not only cleaved Xiao Zhanyun’s Saber Qi but also cut off the intentions of others who wanted to challenge him.
