Chapter 526: Chapter 294: The Deterrent Power of a Quasi-Great True Monarch

The reason for Qi Chuan’s confidence naturally stems from his clear understanding of his own strength.

Now, thirteen years have passed since he slew a male and female Cloud-breaking Whale at the Thousand Cloud Reef.

His capabilities and methods in all areas have been greatly enhanced.

The most crucial aspect, of course, is the height of his Nascent Soul.

In the realm of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the height of a Nascent Soul ranges from three inches to five-inch nine-nine.

And now, his Nascent Soul has reached five-inch nine eight!

Five-inch nine eight is already a very high height.

It is just 0.2 inches short of Qi Chuan’s own ultimate height of six inches.

From the perspective of an ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, this almost counts as the peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

After all, the final 0.19 inches is not something everyone can achieve.

The vast majority of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators, upon refining their cultivation method to the utmost in this realm, have a Nascent Soul height that ranges from five-inch five to five-inch nine eight.

More importantly, Qi Chuan’s Nascent Soul has evolved from a First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core, making its foundation unmatched by others at the same height.

As for Golden Stele True Monarch and Spirit Creation True Monarch, while they are also regarded as formidable figures in the realm of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, they are still far from the peak of this stage.

It is likely that the height of their Nascent Souls has not even reached five-inch five.

The gap between them and Qi Chuan is quite obvious.

With such a significant disparity, dealing with them is not too difficult for Qi Chuan.

While Qi Chuan appeared at ease,

Not far away, after witnessing the astonishing power faintly contained in the three azure sword shadows of Qi Chuan, both Golden Stele True Monarch and Spirit Creation True Monarch could not help but be astonished.

Although their strength is not exceptionally strong, they are not without discernment.

Previously, Qi Chuan had not revealed his full hand, which was excusable.

Now that he made a move, they finally saw something.

"Is this... the peak of Nascent Soul Middle Stage?"

Golden Stele True Monarch’s expression slightly changed.

"It’s not just an average peak of Nascent Soul Middle Stage. The height of his Nascent Soul definitely exceeds five-inch nine eight, and might even surpass five-inch nine. Since when did True Monarch Cyan Bamboo get to know such a formidable force?"

Spirit Creation True Monarch’s expression also became extremely serious.

He knew that a Nascent Soul height of five-inch nine eight is almost considered the ultimate height in the eyes of most Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators.

Anyone who surpasses five-inch nine eight is a prodigious genius with high potential; such individuals are exceedingly rare and hard to find.

As for those who can break through to five-inch nine, they are like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, with a considerable chance of advancing to the realm of the Great True Monarch.

In other words, they are potential Great True Monarchs or Quasi-Great True Monarchs.

Though not true Great True Monarchs, they still are not easily provoked by ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators.

"Continuing the magical combat further is already meaningless."

Spirit Creation True Monarch’s face showed a hint of helplessness.

Since seeing the opponent reveal a Nascent Soul height of five-inch nine, he understood that even if he and Golden Stele True Monarch joined forces against one, they were bound to lose.

Facing such a strong adversary, having just one additional person bears little significance.

While it might be possible to stall for a while, that’s all they could do.

Without True Monarch Cyan Bamboo lending a hand, simply relying on Qi Chuan alone could secure victory with a little time.

Moreover, observing Qi Chuan not far away with such a relaxed expression and posture, it’s likely he hasn’t even used his true Great Divine Techniques.

Once the opponent reveals his true trump card, it will not just be a matter of defeat for both him and Golden Stele True Monarch.

But rather serious injuries... or even... fatality!

Thinking of all this, Spirit Creation True Monarch took a deep breath, then relaxed entirely.

"Your strength garners my respect, I, Spirit Creation True Monarch, admit defeat!"

Spirit Creation True Monarch remarked.

Immediately, he gestured a spell.

The massive stone bottle Spirit Treasure before him ceased its earthy-yellow spirit wind and then emitted a suction force, retrieving the previously released earthy-yellow spirit wind back inside.

Finally, all the spirit wind returned to the stone bottle Spirit Treasure.

Spirit Creation True Monarch capped the stone cover of the stone bottle, then shrunk it down and stored it in his body.

Subsequently, he cupped his fists toward Qi Chuan and said, "Spirit Creation previously offended you in many ways, I ask for forgiveness. I am willing to provide compensation for my earlier disrespect!"

Beside him, seeing Spirit Creation True Monarch take the initiative to admit defeat, the somewhat nervous Golden Stele True Monarch also had no choice but to gesture and put away his Spirit-suppressing Golden Stele.

After all, without Spirit Creation True Monarch’s assistance, defeating a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak expert like Qi Chuan alone was a mere fantasy.

"I... also admit defeat, and like Spirit Creation True Monarch, I am willing to provide compensation..."

Golden Stele True Monarch similarly cupped his fists toward Qi Chuan, lowering his head.

The arrogance they had before was now replaced with trepidation.

"This..."

Witnessing this scene, not only the disciples and elders of the Cyan Bamboo Sect but even True Monarch Cyan Bamboo by Qi Chuan’s side, observed Qi Chuan’s three swords, and Golden Stele True Monarch and Spirit Creation True Monarch immediately retracting their spirit treasures and bowing in submission, couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan..."

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo sighed inwardly.
