Chapter 1137: Chapter 722: Presenting the Treasure (Part 3)

Many people call Gao Xuan the first strongest in the Cyan Celestial Realm!

The Cyan Celestial Realm is full of strong cultivators, who dares to claim themselves as the first strongest?

Even the East Sea Dragon King, as powerful as he is, doesn’t dare to call himself the first strongest in the Cyan Celestial Realm.

This title of "first strongest" for Gao Xuan is too flashy and too much a target of envy.

Cultivators and demons with some level of practice all find this title hard to accept.

Cultivators from various sects participating in the Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly have started entering Celestial Dragon Island, and this statement has also caused dissatisfaction among the major sects.

However, as this saying just spread, its impact is still not significant.

Gao Xuan is already renowned, so even if the major sects are unhappy, no one dares to rashly challenge him at his doorstep.

Anyway, with the Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly about to commence, someone will certainly challenge Gao Xuan in front of all the world’s cultivators to test the weight of his "first strongest" title.

"The first strongest?"

Jiang Yuelan was also a bit surprised: "Did this Celestial Master Gao say so himself?"

"No, it’s just a rumor in the streets."

Bai Sheng said, "However, recently, this Celestial Master Gao has been the most prominent, so there’s some truth to this statement."

"Oh, I didn’t know that. Senior Brother Bai, please tell me more."

Jiang Xiaowei loves lively matters the most, yet unfortunately, her master is very strict, so she hasn’t had the chance to hear such gossip.

"This matter is a bit complicated. It’s best to start from the beginning to make it clear..."

Bai Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Gao Xuan is a Celestial Master from the Celestial Court, dispatched to Wuyuan Country in the Northern Province, where he successively clashed with the Buddhist Sect and Dragon Race, ending with him annihilating the forces of the North Sea Dragon Court and the Buddhist Sect..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After all, the Northern Province is quite far away. Bai Sheng originally didn’t know much about these things, but with people talking about it daily, he naturally learned a lot of details.

As for whether these details are true, Bai Sheng isn’t sure. However, this kind of chatting doesn’t need to be taken too seriously.

Everyone had heard more or less about it, just not as detailed as Bai Sheng explained.

After listening to Bai Sheng’s detailed account, everyone listened with great interest.

Jiang Xiaowei said with some fascination, "Speaking of which, this Celestial Master Gao is truly formidable."

She thought for a moment and then asked, "It’s said that Celestial Master Gao has unparalleled grace and elegance. Is it true?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Bai Sheng also shook his head, "I haven’t seen him in person, so it’s hard to say."

Bai Sheng added, "I have heard that this Celestial Master Gao even killed the Third Prince of the East Sea and the Tenth Prince Ao Shibidi..."

"Ah?"

Jiang Xiaowei was very surprised, "Really?"

The East Sea Dragon Court has always been the overlord of the Eastern Province, and although the Buddhist Sect is ambitious, it doesn’t dare be disrespectful to the East Sea Dragon Court.

The Daoist Sect is even worse. The many sects of the Daoist Sect are just like a loose sand. Clearly stronger than the Buddhist Sect, yet suppressed by them. Facing the East Sea Dragon Court, they are even more respectful.

Cultivators who hadn’t heard of this were very shocked.

It’s one thing for Gao Xuan to run rampant in the Northern Province given its remoteness, where the Dragon Race and Buddhist Sect are likely weaker and thus brutally bullied by him.

But the East Sea Dragon Court is extremely powerful, basically the imperial court of the Eastern Province. The East Sea Dragon King is the emperor of the Eastern Province.

For Gao Xuan to dare kill the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Court, it’s simply insane in the eyes of many Daoist cultivators!

Jiang Xiaowei asked the question everyone was very concerned about: "And then what?"

"There was no ’then’. It’s said that the East Sea Dragon Court sent people to apologize to Celestial Master Gao, and that was the end of it."

Bai Sheng said.

Everyone was astonished. Jiang Xiaowei was even more caught with her mouth wide open: "Really? They tolerated this?"

The East Sea Dragon Court is domineering outside. It’s one thing to kill a member of the Dragon Race, but accidentally killing any demon races under the East Sea Dragon Court is already a big trouble.

Because the East Sea Dragon Court governs all waters in the Eastern Province, and for this, the major sects have often clashed with the East Sea Dragon Court.

The East Sea Dragon Court always acts very overbearing and unreasonable.

The major sects are all deeply afflicted by this, yet they have no solution. After all, the East Sea Dragon Court is powerful. The major sects, even if united, might not be a match for the other.

The major sects have endured and retreated against the East Sea Dragon Court for so long, they are accustomed to it.

To suddenly hear that someone dared to hard counter the East Sea Dragon Court, and the East Sea Dragon Court didn’t dare to speak up, everyone finds it somewhat unbelievable.

Bai Sheng nodded affirmatively, "Indeed, this is the truth. There are many sources of information on this, confirming it’s true."

He paused and added, "Therefore, Gao Xuan has the title of being the world’s number one."

"This is too amazing."

Jiang Xiaowei’s eyes sparkled, filled with curiosity about Gao Xuan, wishing she could meet him right now.

Jiang Xiaowei said to Bai Sheng, "Since he is a part of our Daoist Sect, why don’t we go pay a visit to Celestial Master Gao together?"

Bai Sheng hesitated a bit, "We are strangers to Celestial Master Gao, visiting rashly would be too impolite, wouldn’t it?"

He was very curious about Gao Xuan but didn’t really want to visit him.

Gao Xuan’s reputation is now widespread, there must be people fanning the flames behind. The key is Gao Xuan has offended the East Sea Dragon Court and the Buddhist Sect. This Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly, I’m afraid it will be difficult for Gao Xuan to leave alive...

This is also the judgment of most cultivators. Offending the two most powerful forces in the Eastern Province, no one can retreat unscathed.

At this moment, getting involved with Gao Xuan surely brings no benefit.

Other cultivators also realized this and declined Jiang Xiaowei’s proposal. This left Jiang Xiaowei a bit disappointed.

After the tea gathering ended, Jiang Yuelan and Jiang Xiaowei returned to their residence, the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, and Jiang Xiaowei recounted the whole matter to their master, Jiang Yumei.

Jiang Yumei sighed gently, "This Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly is truly tumultuous, waves surging undercurrents. You must remember not to cause trouble, especially stay far from that Celestial Master Gao!"
