Chapter 225: The Makings of a Greater Lord

Emanating from the enormous hand was an extremely distinct and ruthless suppression intent. Although it was clear that the force behind it was a bit lacking, it was still incredibly difficult to block!

A bell-shaped Psychic Magic Treasure appeared in front of Upper Flame Spirit Master, and he activated it at full force. An extremely realistic projection of a black bell emerged, but it was destroyed by the looming hand with a single grab!

Upper Flame Spirit Master gritted his teeth. He was just about to use a genuine protective Higher Knowledge ability, but he suddenly sensed that the profound yellow radiance filling the sky had disappeared without a trace. The merciless suppressing intent also vanished. When he looked up, he saw Xu Disheng, but the aura emanating from him was extremely feeble. The Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda was also gone, without any force to back it.

Upper Flame Spirit Master’s expression turned ugly, and he flicked his sleeves heatedly. “Sacred Son Bai Lu, no one could have guessed that this guy could exhibit the full might of a Profound Treasure. I’m afraid it can’t be avoided that we will lose face today.”

At this point, Bai Lu, and even Upper Flame Spirit Master, had lost all face. Inwardly, they were filled with shame and anger.

While it was true that Xu Disheng had a Profound Treasure, he was only at the Dao Foundation stage. Meanwhile, Upper Flame Spirit Master was a genuine Divine Core stage Spirit Master. But in these three exchanges, Upper Flame Spirit Master hadn’t been able to take the upper hand!

Even though Xu Disheng wouldn’t be able to stand a chance if this battle continued any longer, Upper Flame Spirit Master still had his face and honor to preserve. If he cut down Xu Disheng at this point when he was unable to resist, he would have cultivated to the Divine Core stage for nothing.

As he was now, neither Xu Disheng’s ability to move the power of the golden true spirit, nor his profound qi in his Jianggong acupoint were enough to support the incredible might that the

Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda displayed just now. Although the artifact spirit of the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda told him that he could use the full might of the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda for another half incense stick of time, it didn’t take into account Xu Disheng’s profound qi reserves or his mind’s ability to withstand it. It only made that estimate based on the power of the golden true spirit.

The Paramount Ancient Bell was constantly working without pause. Xu Disheng’s consciousness was above the ancient, golden true spirit, drawing on its power. He ingested several pills, and several breaths later, his aura started to recover back to normal, no longer showing signs of weakness or instability.

“How do you intend to handle this matter, Upper Flame Spirit Master?” Xu Disheng said, his face still pale.

In the three moves they had exchanged just now, Xu Disheng had taken the upper hand, even though his opponent was a Divine Core stage Spirit Master!

Upper Flame Spirit Master was silent, speechless.

Sacred Son Bai Lu knew that he had chosen to play Xu Disheng’s game and had suffered utter defeat. His expression was ice-cold as he cupped his fist in apology.

“Disciples of Cloud Abyss Peak, return with me to the Shangqing Sacred Sect at once,” Xu Disheng announced, turning to the Cloud Abyss Peak disciples below. He didn’t really care about Bai Lu’s attitude.

“As you command, Soul Suppressor Sacred Son!”

The moods and emotions that ran through the minds of Zhang Haobo and the others were complex to the extreme. There was still a look of incredulity hanging on their faces after what they had witnessed. Upper Flame Spirit Master had personally taken action, but Soul Suppressor Sacred Son did not suffer defeat. Instead, he had almost forced Upper Flame Spirit Master to use a protective Higher Knowledge ability!

The lofty, arrogant Bai Lu had even cupped his fist to Soul Suppressor Sacred Son in apology!

Although Xu Disheng and Bai Lu had both said that they would crush and suppress the other, neither of them would truly do that regardless of who came out on top in the end. At the most, one would make the other apologize and make amends.

How could the honor of the title of Sacred Son be something to lightly trample upon?

The moment Xu Disheng demonstrated the shocking might of the Moonlight over Kunlun technique, Bai Lu had already lost.

However, deep down in his heart, Bai Lu simply didn’t want to admit that a newly risen Sacred Son who had only been cultivating for 20 years had managed to suppress him in such a manner!

That was why he took out the command token from Primordial Lord Yanghua and commanded Upper Flame Spirit Master to suppress Xu Disheng.

But no one could have expected Xu Disheng to be so peerlessly powerful that he could demonstrate the might of a Profound Treasure. Although it was merely half of a technique, it was still enough to thoroughly shatter Bai Lu’s arrogance!

Bai Lu’s expression was gloomy as he watched Xu Disheng and the disciples of Cloud Abyss Peak disappear off into the horizon. A brightly glowing profound light appeared in the depths of his sleeve, and he swung out, ruthlessly slapping Li Xuanzong in the face!

“If it weren’t for you directly approaching Soul Suppressor with such an arrogant, domineering attitude, how would I have lost face today?!” Bai Lu shouted.

Li Xuanzong, who had previously been acting with unparalleled arrogance, didn’t dare to respond. One side of his face was swollen, and he kept his head lowered, making it difficult to see his expression.

Bai Lu’s anger still hadn’t subsided. He was just about to raise his hand again to reprimand him once more when the few others nearby began to speak up in an attempt to stop him and assuage his anger.

… …

The news of what happened in the Anxi Province where Xu Disheng, the newly risen Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, had not only steamrolled Sacred Son Bai Lu, but also took the upper hand in a three-move exchange with Upper Flame Spirit Master, caused a huge stir throughout the Eight Mountains of the Shangqing Sacred Sect.

The majority of the people were focused on two points regarding this news, one of which was Xu Disheng’s profound law foundation, the Paramount Ancient Bell.

Only someone with truly unbeatable powers of comprehension would be able to possess a profound law foundation like Xu Disheng’s, with so many mysterious capabilities. When this news spread, it was confirmed that Xu Disheng’s profound law foundation could multiply the power of his techniques and cultivation methods several times over!

The second point was the Profound Treasure that Xu Disheng used to suppress the Upper Flame Spirit Master!

Just how unimaginably precious was a Profound Treasure?

Even most Primordial Lords didn’t have a Profound Treasure, nor had they ever laid their hands on one.

It was evident how precious and rare a Profound Treasure was, given that the Spirit Controlling Primordial Lord had personally made the effort to leave the Yuluo Realm and travel to the Luminous Cloud Abyss during the Eight Mountains Grand Tournament, specifically to target Xu Disheng’s Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda.

However, no one knew of any Primordial Lord that had previously owned a pagoda-type Profound Treasure, so most people surmised that it came from Realm Master Kunxu, one of the three Yuluo Realm Masters.

Other people might not know, but only Xu Disheng was well aware that this Profound Treasure was definitely not given to him by Realm Master Kunxu. However, Realm Master Kunxu declined to comment on this matter. He remained silent in his meditation in the Yuluo Realm, which many people took as an implicit affirmation that it was he who gave Xu Disheng the Profound Treasure.

After this battle, the name of Xu Disheng, Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, caused a huge stir not only in the younger generation disciples of the Shangqing Eight Mountains, but also in other sects within the Shan Mountain Territory.

… …

In the Falling Moon Domain on Falling Moon Peak…

“So this Profound Treasure was what you used to slay Zhao Yan and the others in the Zhao Realm,” Celestial Tide Spirit Master commented, his tone indifferent, obscuring the true intent behind his words.

“I still must express my gratitude to Spirit Master for helping Disciple to cover up this matter,” Xu Disheng said modestly. Despite his rising rank and status, he always treated Celestial Tide Spirit Master with utmost respect.

Xu Disheng was referring to the matter where he had been ambushed in the Zhao Realm and turned the tables around on the attackers, which had happened a long time ago by this point.

“There is already no need to conceal this matter any longer,” Celestial Tide Spirit Master said, his gaze mysterious. “Do you know why Primordial Lord Kunxu dispatched Chen Xunming, the Peak Master of Clearheart Peak, to confer you the title of Sacred Son at such a critical moment?”

“Disciple does not know,” Xu Disheng responded.

“Greater Lord Zhuri once said to Realm Master Kunxu that given your unparalleled powers of comprehension, your profound law foundation, and the incredible luck that seems to converge upon you, you have the makings of a Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord,” Celestial Tide Spirit Master said, his tone calm despite the shocking meaning behind his words.
