“How could this be!” Bahesiba turned pale, his eyes full of disbelief.

If Master Sanfeng had made a breakthrough, then his own loss would be justified.

But since the opponent has not made any breakthrough, why did he lose?

Noticing Bahesiba’s slight loss of composure, the mastery and understanding of Martial Arts radiating from Master Sanfeng comforted him and stabilized his spirit. He calmly stated, “I, though not breaking through any realm, am confident that even those who have, may not necessarily be a match for me.”

He had not broken through due to the limitations of Heaven and Earth. But his understanding of the cultivation had stepped into that level, hence his confidence.

Even if I didn’t breakthrough, those that have, may not definitely be my match.

What an incredibly self-confident statement that was.

It made many people yearn for such strength. A true strong person should carry such self-confidence.

No one suspected him of lying, as a person of such strength would not stoop to lies.

“…” Pei Xuanjing said silently.

As expected, there still was a gap between himself and such a strong person. Even with the simulator in hand, it was still difficult to bridge the gap in a short span.

Bahesiba stayed silent, a glint of disappointment flashing in his eyes as he remained speechless for a long while.

Being of his realm, he naturally felt the binding of limitation, which hindered his further progress.

He had come to challenge with the thought of breaking through his limitations during the challenge.

Even though he lost this battle, he wasn’t frustrated. It seemed that he saw hope and the potential to progress further in Master Sanfeng.

That’s why he had asked that question.

Unfortunately, when hopes are high, so is the disappointment.

He didn’t get the answer he expected from Master Sanfeng. Instead, he received an answer that was almost despairing.

The limitation of Heaven and Earth, impossible to breakthrough.

“Amitabha!” Bahesiba’s eyes momentarily cleared of the desperation. His loud voice echoed everywhere, “Today’s defeat is solely due to my lack of prowess compared to the Master. You have mastered the art of Martial Arts, for which I respect and concede.”

The disciples behind him went pale upon hearing this, but remained speechless.

The heroes of the jianghu present there felt a sense of mourning. Even such a powerful guru of Great Yuan was defeated by Master Sanfeng. Who in the world could possibly challenge him now?

Before the arrival of the guru of Great Yuan, everyone was united in their enmity, hoping that Master Sanfeng, who represented the Central Plains Martial Arts, would win this contest.

But when they saw how effortlessly Master Sanfeng won, they felt uncomfortable, meaning that the old Taoist would dominate them for who knows how many more years.

Clever people couldn’t help but look at Pei Xuanjing, in his ragged clothes, and speculate that perhaps he could challenge Master Sanfeng in the future.

As everyone had their own thoughts, they only heard Bahesiba’s loud voice continue, “Today’s battle with the Master has benefited me greatly. Returning to the Western Regions, I will make further advancements. When my cultivation is more profound, I will return to discuss Tao with the Master.”

A momentary failure was not enough to make someone as steadfast in Martial Arts as Bahesiba completely lose hope, his previous sense of loss was due to the constraints of Heaven and Earth.

Since Master Sanfeng was able to free himself from these constraints and have strength far beyond it without breaking through, he, Bahesiba, was certainly confident he could do the same.

“I will be waiting for you on Taihe Mountain,” Master Sanfeng calmly responded.

Watching the retreating guru of Great Yuan and his party, Pei Xuanjing sighed inwardly, “Life is unpredictable, who could have known that this genius with breathtaking strength, the guru of Great Yuan, from this day onwards until his death, never set foot in the Central Plains again?”

According to later records, after Bahesiba returned to the Western Regions, he resigned as the guru of Great Yuan, practicing asceticism in the Esoteric Sect, aiming to reach Master Sanfeng’s realm.

Unfortunately, he meditated for thirty years but never achieved his goal. In the end, he died in the Esoteric Sect, never having the opportunity to achieve his goals.

Pei Xuanjing turned around, his gaze falling on Master Sanfeng.

Since he was here, and having already anticipated this grandmaster who was acclaimed to be the greatest in the past thousand years of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not seek guidance?

“I have an impolite request which I hope the Master will grant.”

Pei Xuanjing took a step forward, the sound of his newly changed robe fluttering in the wind, his loud voice echoing throughout, attracting the attention of all.

They were curious about what Danling Zi, who had just drawn all the attention, was going to do.

Master Sanfeng was slightly puzzled, “Speak, young man.”

As a token of gratitude for his assistance just now, he would not refuse the young man’s request, as long as it wasn’t too much.

A smile played on Pei Xuanjing’s lips as he declared loudly, “I am still at the learning stage and request the Master’s guidance!”

Upon hearing this, pandemonium set in among the crowd.

“What, he’s challenging Master Sanfeng!”

“This…”

People looked surprised, it was inconceivable that Pei Xuanjing would make such a request.

“Hehe.” Master Sanfeng laughed lightly, not declining, “In that case, make your move!”

Pei Xuanjing nodded slightly, his right hand gripping the sword.

At this moment, his momentum changed abruptly, rising rampantly. His Martial Arts true meaning permeated around him, the Blood Qi surged, and True Qi enveloped him.

“I have a sword, it was born in Spring, lives in Summer, grows in Mid-Summer, matures in Autumn, and dies in Winter; it’s born and dies through thunderstorm. The sword is called: Shenxiao Heaven’s Intention!” Pei Xuanjing said word by word, “Please appreciate it, Master!”

This was the sword he had created based on the Sky Outer Flying Immortal combined with Shenxiao

Heaven’s Intention.

The sword he used against Bahesiba earlier was this sword.

As he swung his sword, the weather became unstable, accompanied by thunderstorm. It represented the cycle of the four seasons and the circle of life and death.

The sword glows sharp and dazzling like the sun. It has the exuberance of Spring, the passion of Summer, the prosperity of Mid-Summer, the instant of Autumn, and the chill of Winter.

In the thunderstorm, destruction and creation intertwine.

Even Master Sanfeng showed a surprised expression upon seeing this sword.

Regardless of anything else, just by the charm of this sword, people knew that the youth in front of them had broken free from past shackles and embarked on his own path of Martial Arts.

He let go of his previous calmness, flapping his wide sleeves, forming a strong whirl of Tai Chi rune, confronting Pei Xuanjing’s sword.

The seemingly ordinary black and white Tai Chi rune emitted a simple glow, enveloping the sword’s light.

The sword light rose from the bottom, seeming to split Yin and Yang, yet also seemed to be enveloped and merged into them..
