Immortal Starry Sky

"I lost."

Li Dongbai, upon realizing, gave a gentle smile and said to Wang Xu.

The blood-red in his eyes receded, and the faint shadow of a white tiger dissipated as well.

Li Dongbai was truly convinced by Wang Xu.

Though he possesses an Innate Divine Body, giving him a significant advantage within the Celestial Tier.

Yet, Wang Xu managed to injure him in such a critical situation, and at the most vital and vulnerable neck area.

Li Dongbai believed, Wang Xu probably had the strength to decapitate him, while he did not possess the same capability.

In comparison, he completely lost.

"You are very strong."

Wang Xu responded.

This was not Wang Xu being perfunctory.

Li Dongbai was indeed very powerful, relying entirely on his own strength to fight, whereas Wang Xu borrowed the power of the Mechanical Ancient Eye, an external force.

In this respect, Li Dongbai was far more powerful than Wang Xu.

Subsequently, Wang Xu stepped straight onto the first step's number one position and sat cross-legged.

Numerous talented experts, who had been agape, unable to close their mouths, were now all looking at each other, faces alternating between red and white.

"I give up!"

Li Dongbai immediately chose to forfeit.

"Let's spar again properly another day, haha..."

Li Dongbai laughed heartily, and his figure turned into a flash of light, disappearing from the spot.

Wang Xu watched the light fade into the distance, then scanned the surrounding talented experts once more.

Under Wang Xu's gaze, everyone seemed as if a sharp sword swept over them, retreating continuously; Wang Xu paid them no heed and closed his eyes, entering a state of cultivation.

The scene stayed silent for a long while before the clamor resumed.

The battle for the first step's position began again; yet as before, no one dared approach the number one spot.

Everyone had witnessed Wang Xu's prowess; anyone who could defeat Li Dongbai could so easily kill them, and no one wanted to tempt fate with Wang Xu.

Wang Xu simply sat cross-legged in the number one spot, quietly remaining for a full three hours.

"Time's up!"

A sudden booming voice echoed within Wang Xu's mind.

With a swoosh!

Instantly, a pillar of light shot up to the sky, piercing the clouds from Wang Xu's step seat, engulfing Wang Xu entirely.

"Someone has successfully claimed the step spot again!"

"It's from the first step, it's the person on the first step!"

"Could it be Senior Brother Li Dongbai? I've heard he's the strongest among all the disciples of our Imperial Extreme Divine Sect!"

From the third step to the second step, numerous disciples all looked up at the beam of light connecting to the sky.

Before Wang Xu, there were disciples from both the third and second steps who had successfully claimed step spots, so Wang Xu was not the first.

The many talented experts on the first step all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

...

Wang Xu felt the power of spatial shifting, and when all the light before him receded, what unfolded was not the familiar Celestial Tier, but a solitary island surrounded by the ocean of the cosmos.

"Congratulations, Wang Xu, on successfully claiming the number one position of the first step!"

Wang Xu turned his head, seeing before him all the renowned figures of the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect!

This person is... Elder Yun Qu!

Wang Xu had read about the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect in the Scripture Pavilion, which contained descriptions of the appearances of the three great elders of the sect.

The person before him was identical to the description in the book!

"Haha... Wang Xu, you have done very well!"

A middle-aged man clad in the Void Star Sect's attire approached, and his gaze towards Wang Xu was filled with satisfaction.

The Sect Leader of the Void Star Sect, Yuan Lin!

Turning his gaze to the others, Wang Xu saw all of them as described in the books: the seven Star Sects' Sect Leaders, the three great sect's elders, the Sect Master of Shen Yi Sect, the Pavilion Master of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion...

It could be said that the most potent forces of the entire Imperial Extreme Divine Sect were concentrated before Wang Xu.

However, besides these significant figures, there were also several disciples in the Mixed Cosmos Realm and Initial Celestial God Realm.

They had claimed the step spots even earlier than Wang Xu and were now sitting cross-legged with faces full of joy, seemingly discerning something.

"Wang Xu greets the seniors."

This was a sign of respect for the strong, especially since Wang Xu wished to acknowledge the Divine Gate Elder as his master; naturally, he had to abide by the rules of the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect.

"No need for pleasantries; I'm just curious about how exactly you defeated Ning Haotian and Li Dongbai. Can you tell me the reason?"

The speaker was the Sect Leader of the Four Symbols Star Sect.

The Four Symbols Sect Leader's words piqued the curiosity of the other notable figures as well.

Wang Xu, as an unknown newcomer, was unrecognized by any of the high-level figures before entering the Celestial Tier.

Yet Wang Xu helped three women occupy three step spots, then decisively counter-killed Ning Haotian, and even defeated the highly anticipated Li Dongbai.

Such glorious achievements had entirely exceeded the expectations of these prominent figures.

"Just a stroke of luck."

Wang Xu replied indifferently.

The Four Symbols Sect Leader wanted to ask more, but was stopped by an eye signal from Elder Yun Qu.

"In any case, you've successfully claimed the number one position on the first step, and you deserve an appropriate reward."

Elder Yun Qu smiled gently, then waved his hand, and a golden light appeared in his hand.

Mysterious hand seals were made, and the golden light quietly dissipated, revealing what was hidden within.

"Five Curse True Thunder Spell."

"This is a Chaos Secret Technique that I have personally comprehended and modified. My main focus is on Thunder Skills, and the Supreme Law is also Thunder. I hope it will be of help to you."

Elder Yun Qu handed the "Five Curse True Thunder Spell" to Wang Xu.

Chaos Secret Techniques are not ranked, each having their own advantages.

However, those that surpass ordinary Chaos Secret Techniques are those personally comprehended and modified by a strong cultivator, making them even more perfect, more harmonious in cultivation, and naturally more powerful!

Yet such Chaos Secret Techniques are often known only to the cultivator themselves, with others unable to learn of them.

This moment, Elder Yun Qu gifting his cherished "Five Curse True Thunder Spell" to Wang Xu carries an obvious significance.

"'Five Curse True Thunder Spell'?"

Wang Xu received this Chaos Secret Technique.

He cultivated Sword Techniques, with the Supreme Law being light, making this Chaos Secret Technique of little help to him.

Moreover, Wang Xu no longer needed Chaos Secret Techniques.

He had already acquired three Chaos Secret Techniques that were most suitable for him in the Six Flavors House. With his comprehension and the analysis of the Mechanical Ancient Eye, Wang Xu firmly believed he could achieve a level more perfect than what Elder Yun Qu comprehended!

"Yun Qu, giving just one Chaos Secret Technique seems a bit stingy, don't you think?"

Suddenly, a voice with a hint of laughter sounded.

"Chaos Secret Techniques suit him best. At this moment, Wang Xu cannot yet cultivate the 'Chaos Secret Scripture'… huh?"

Elder Yun Qu was responding when his voice paused, looking towards the person who had just spoken.

Not only him, but all the great figures turned their heads, wanting to see who could call Elder Yun Qu "Yun Qu."

But as they all turned, they displayed expressions of extreme fear, utterly shocked.

Wang Xu faced these great figures, only needing to look up to see this person.

A man stood there in a flowing cyan robe, black hair dancing in the wind, looking handsome, his smile bright as the sunlight that melts snow in spring, warming the soul.

He held a flute made of cyan jade in his hand, devoid of any primordial qi fluctuations, completely an ordinary item.

Whoosh!

At this moment, all the great figures in front of Wang Xu knelt on one knee in unison, exclaiming in unison.

"Greetings, Divine Master!"

Divine Master… what?!

Wang Xu was momentarily stunned, then immediately responded, even he was genuinely startled.

This seemingly ordinary man in cyan robe was actually the Divine Master of the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect?

"It has been a long time since I have seen all of you, no need to be so formal."

The Cyan Robe Divine Master waved his jade flute, and an invisible force lifted everyone up.

Then, the gaze of the Cyan Robe Divine Master fell upon Wang Xu.

"I have witnessed all your battles earlier, which have exceeded my expectations."

The words of the Cyan Robe Divine Master made everyone cast envious glances at Wang Xu.

Who is the Divine Master? In the entire Red Sun Divine Continent, only the Divine Masters of the other two Divine Sects can compare to him.

Being praised by him is an immense honor.

"Divine Master, may I ask for the reason you have left the palace to come here?"

Elder Zhu Xiang asked respectfully.

The true form of the Cyan Robe Divine Master had never been shown to others, so all matters within the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect were managed by Elder Zhu Xiang.

With the appearance of the Cyan Robe Divine Master, could it be that some change has occurred within the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect?

The Cyan Robe Divine Master smiled faintly, looking at Wang Xu.

"I have come for him."

The eyes of all the great figures instantly flashed with a hint of surprise.

Wang Xu could actually make the Divine Master personally come for him, could it be…

They remembered, the last time the Cyan Robe Divine Master appeared was when "Teng He" appeared.

That day, Teng He also obtained the first rank on the celestial tier's first step, intending to apprentice under the Elder of Punishment.

Who knew the Cyan Robe Divine Master would appear and take Teng He as his first direct disciple.

Not long after, Teng He reached the Celestial God Peak, ultimately carving his name on the Celestial God List!

Teng He is a living legend, and to this day, no one in the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect could equal him.

Yet now the Cyan Robe Divine Master appears again, could a scene similar to Teng He repeat itself now?

The Cyan Robe Divine Master slowly walked forward.

Thump! Thump! Thump…

The closer he got to Wang Xu, the faster Wang Xu's heart raced.

This was the pressure of a life level. Even though the Cyan Robe Divine Master deliberately concealed his presence, as he got closer to Wang Xu, that tangible, true life level continued to affect Wang Xu.

"Wang Xu, are you willing to become my disciple?"

The Cyan Robe Divine Master stood before Wang Xu and asked softly.

Wang Xu's eyes flashed, and he quietly felt a huge stone in his heart settle down.

When he heard the Cyan Robe Divine Master came for him, he thought the Divine Master had seen through what he did on the celestial tier.

One must know, using either primordial qi or spiritual consciousness is a violation of celestial tier rules.

But the Cyan Robe Divine Master opened his mouth to take him as a disciple, making Wang Xu breathe a sigh of relief.

"I… am willing!"

Without hesitation, Wang Xu took a deep breath and said resolutely. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
