Pei Xuanjing glanced at Ye Daoyuan, standing with his hands clasped behind him, his eyes shining brightly, and he spoke softly, “A Heaven Rank expert exercises the Primordial Qi within his body to connect with the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, immersing himself in Heaven and Earth, thus drawing upon their power. Yet the method of using a talisman as an intermediary to initiate the power of Heaven and Earth, as you have just demonstrated, appears far more subtle.”

“Still, it seems not as profound as your Taoist Profound Skill.” Ye Daoyuan said lightly, his eyes filled with curiosity, “In my judgment, Your Profound Skill also originates from the Taoist School. However, I have never seen such a skill in the Taoist tradition before. I can only sense traces of Zhengyi Thunder Method in it.”

Ye Daoyuan was not boasting — he was a high-level practitioner from the Taoist School. In addition, he was in the Titled Inspector Position of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. He might not have known all the Taoist methods in the world, but he was confident of knowing nearly ninety percent of them. However, he couldn’t identify the Taoist Profound Skill used by Pei Xuanjing and could only detect traces of Zhengyi Thunder Method in it.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t bother to hide it and said, “Shenxiao Sect!”

“Shenxiao Sect?!” exclaimed Ye Daoyuan, frowning slightly. He was sure he had never heard of this name in his memory.

However, from Pei Xuanjing’s expression, he clearly knew the other party was not lying.

All he could do was suppress his doubts and regard it as a secret branch of a particular Taoist school.

The world was vast, and countless branches of the Taoist tradition had been handed down over countless years in the World of Myriad Manifestations. No one could be certain that they understood all the various factions.

He set aside this thought and smiled at Pei Xuanjing, saying, “Let’s call it a day!”

“Alright!” Pei Xuanjing nodded readily.

Their brief clash had given each a reasonably good measure of the other’s capabilities.

Although Pei Xuanjing had yet to wield his Longevity Sword, he did not consider the power displayed by Ye Daoyuan to be the sum of his abilities.

In terms of combat power, they were evenly matched, and it would be difficult to determine a winner. After all, they had no intention of fighting to the death.

Pei Xuanjing knew that although his practice of Cultivating Three Ways Simultaneously gave him great combat power, the opponent had extremely profound achievements in the practice of Qi. He was truly on the verge of stepping into the Heavenly Human state, as rumored.

In essence, Ye Daoyuan had almost reached the point of merging his body with Heaven and Earth. If Pei Xuanjing couldn’t knock him out of this state, there was no way he could defeat him.

With the level of Pei Xuanjing’s strength, the use of the Shenxiao Heavenly Will Sword might present a possibility, but it was merely a possibility.

If the two continued to fight and eventually went all out, it would end only in a mutually destructive scenario.

Pei Xuanjing did not want this to happen.

His time was still long. After all, his current realm was only just entered into the Heavenly Rank. When he has spent more time at the Heavenly Rank and reached the Peak of Heaven Rank, he would also be able to defeat Ye Daoyuan.

Let’s call it a day, thought Pei Xuanjing.

He had learned a lot from the day’s encounters, and the insights he had gained from his exchanges with Ye Daoyuan on the use of the power of Heaven and Earth were invaluable.

“Are you preparing to challenge the Red Sun Martial Venerate?” asked Ye Daoyuan.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, “I wonder who is more superior between the two of you?”

Ye Daoyuan laughed lightly,”He is not my match!”

“He is not my match!”

A flicker of surprise flashed through Pei Xuanjing’s eyes. He had expected the other to modestly claim a match between them.

But Ye Daoyuan’s confident assertion had taken him by surprise.

“Heh heh,” Ye Daoyuan understood Pei Xuanjing’s surprise. He laughed and said, “If he could overcome me, Da Li wouldn’t have been trapped within the grasslands. He would’ve swept south long ago!”

Pei Xuanjing nodded, understanding.

Indeed, given Da Li’s hatred towards the Great Tang, if he could overcome Ye Daoyuan, nothing would hold back the Red Sun Martial Venerate’s Da Li.

It was precisely because he wasn’t confident in his victory, he had remained dormant in the grasslands, reluctant to invade the Great Tang rashly. f𝗿𝚎eweb𝗻o𝐯𝐞l.𝚌om

“He’s too greedy, so now he’s no match for me!” Ye Daoyuan sighed, “Perhaps if he shed some of his ambitions, he might have a chance at catching up with me.”

“Oh?” Pei Xuanjing was curious.

However, Ye Daoyuan had no intention of explaining and simply said, “When you cross swords with him, you’ll see.”

“In that case, I am quite intrigued.” Pei Xuanjing chuckled.

He was curious, wondering what the Da Li national advisor had done to draw such an assessment from the Superintendent.

Those who had made it to their level knew and firmly followed their path, allowing no criticism, and seldom questioned the paths of others.

Their duel had ended, and after agreeing to a discussion in a few days, while Ye Daoyuan still had to meet with the emperor, Pei Xuanjing simply turned and left without returning to the garden.

The Garden was full of the empire’s nobility, not to mention the emperor and the queen were present. Such a casual departure could be considered audacious.

Had it been someone else, even an expert of the Heavenly Rank, they would not have escaped the emperor’s wrath and ostracism.

But surprisingly, not one person present was angry with Pei Xuanjing’s actions, not even the emperor showed any signs of annoyance.

In the end, all that mattered was strength.

When Ye Daoyuan returned to the garden and told everyone that his exchange with Pei Min had ended in a draw, even though everyone knew Ye Daoyuan was modest, they couldn’t help but elevate the status of Pei Min, practically equating him with Ye Daoyuan.

They knew that the current Pei Min was only sixteen years old. In terms of cultivation, he was just starting out. In comparison to Superintendent Ye Daoyuan, Pei Min’s time spent in cultivation was negligible.

He had a long time to improve his strength. With his talent, should he continue cultivating for a few more decades, he would become even more terrifying, and undoubtedly the most formidable person in the world.

Even if, hypothetically, Pei Min’s strength stalled at its current level, and didn’t improve at all, as long as he maintained his current strength, he would remain a dominant force in the world, commanding respect and reverence from all.

Such a powerhouse was, for all intents and purposes, above many rules and conventions. His presence alone set the rules.

As they mused upon this, many cast envious glances towards the crown prince, particularly those princes with considerable influence and aspirations for the throne. They wore expressions of jealousy.

The Sword Saint had arrived in the Capital because of the Crown Prince, and given his disinterest in social interactions, he had hardly ventured out, let alone interacted with others, save for the Crown Prince.

As a result, no one had the opportunity to court and connect with him, evoking jealousy and envy in many.
