The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 450 A duel awaited for nearly thirty years

The word "grandfather" sent a jolt through Old Peng Wang. He turned around abruptly, his old eyes flashing with terrifying golden light.

He stared blankly at the gate of the ancestral hall.

There was a figure he longed for day and night standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, none other than his beloved grandson, the Golden-Winged Roc King.

The Golden-Winged Roc King was dressed in a golden robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome and dashing, and a calm, serene smile on his face.
He walked up to the old Peng King and paid his respects with great ceremony!
"Grandson has worried his grandfather."

Looking at him and hearing these words, Old Peng's eyes welled up with tears.

He reached out his trembling hands and placed them heavily on Xiao Peng Wang's shoulders, helping him up.

"Good boy, good boy."

"I'm so glad you're back safe and sound."

"Hahaha"

Old Peng Wang laughed heartily, all the pent-up frustration of the past few years vanishing in that moment.

Wangkong City, a famous ancient city in the Central Region, is shrouded in mystery because it is said that Wushi often gazed at the starry sky from the Wangkong Stone in the center of the city in his later years. This has made the ancient city, which has stood for countless millennia, even more mysterious.

Around the square stood rows of taverns and teahouses, one of which Lu Zhou and Ye Fan had once stayed.

At that moment, in the same restaurant, people were discussing the matter of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

"Hey? Have you heard? Something big has happened to the Tianpeng clan."

"What's the big deal?"

"I heard that the Golden-Winged Roc King, who disappeared many years ago, successfully passed the nine trials left by the ancestor of the Tianpeng clan and emerged from seclusion a few days ago."

"These past few days, the old Peng King's loud laughter can be heard from a great distance, emanating from the ancestral land of the Tianpeng clan."

"What? The Golden-Winged Roc King succeeded in passing the challenge?"

"hiss"

"It is said that the Nine Trials of Saints left behind by the ancestor of the Tianpeng Clan are extremely terrifying and involve some earth-shattering secret. No one has ever successfully passed through them since ancient times."

"But those who successfully overcome this obstacle will inevitably become supreme beings, ruling over their respective regions and holding absolute power!"

"I never expected that Xiao Peng Wang would actually succeed in making it."

"Hey, what's so surprising about that!"

"Think about it carefully. With the Golden-Winged Roc King's talent, it would be surprising if he hadn't successfully passed the nine trials of sainthood left by his ancestor. Look at those who competed with him back then; quite a few of them are now capable of defying sainthood."

On this day, a message spread rapidly throughout the world from the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness, sweeping across the six directions and eight wastelands.

In a very short time, many cultivators heard that the Golden-Winged Little Peng King of the Tianpeng Clan in the Central Region had successfully passed the Nine Trials of Saints left by his ancestor.

This news caused a great stir and moved many cultivators.

However, many cultivators were completely bewildered, as they had never heard of any Golden-Winged Roc King.

This even includes quite a few cultivators from the Central Region.

As the saying goes, new talents emerge in every generation.

Nearly thirty years is neither a long nor a short time.

In this golden age, thirty years is more than enough time for a generation to grow up.

Those cultivators who had never heard of the Golden-Winged Roc King noticed that wherever they went these days, people were talking about him, their expressions quite interesting, as if the so-called Golden-Winged Roc King was some extraordinary being.

This piqued the curiosity of everyone who had never heard of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

In the restaurant, someone immediately asked the group of cultivators who were discussing the Golden-Winged Roc King for their opinion.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists. May I ask who this Golden-Winged Roc King is? I've never heard of him before?"

"Judging from what you're saying, he seems to be someone far from simple!"

"Fellow Daoists, would you be so kind as to tell my brother and me about the Golden-Winged Roc King? We'll treat you to this meal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of agreement rang out from inside the restaurant.

They were all consulting with the demon cultivators who were discussing the Golden-Winged Roc King.

It's clear that most of them are young people; judging from their vitality, most are no more than thirty years old.

Clearly, when the Golden-Winged Roc King became famous in the Eastern Wilderness, they were not yet born, or even if they were born, they were very young.

They had no idea that thirty years ago, the Golden-Winged Roc King was famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness, with impressive achievements that overshadowed many of his peers.

It's always nice to be invited to drinks.

Not to mention, the people at that table who were talking about the Golden-Winged Roc King were actually senior members of the Big Dipper Gossip Party.

What makes them happiest on ordinary days is when others come to them to ask them all sorts of gossip.

They enjoyed watching those people, who, as they vividly recounted their stories, uttered all sorts of exclamations and displayed a variety of expressions on their faces.

This will give them a great sense of accomplishment.

Therefore, someone at that table immediately laughed.

"Hey!"

"Speaking of that Golden-Winged Roc King, how could the word 'extraordinary' possibly describe him?"

"Just a few things I'll tell you about him will be enough to show you just how extraordinary he is!"

"He once overwhelmed his peers in the Central Region, and was invincible. Looking across the entire Eastern Wilderness, few among his peers could rival him!"

"Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family, is the previous head of the Ji family who embarked on the Ancient Starry Road a few years ago. Isn't he amazing?"

Many people in the restaurant nodded in agreement.

Some people may not have heard of the Golden-Winged Roc King, but they have heard of Ji Haoyue, the previous head of the Ji family.

Several years ago, when Ji Haoyue embarked on the Ancient Starry Road, he stepped down from his position as the head of the Ji family, a position he had held for only a few years.

He didn't value power and had little interest in controlling the Ji family.

"It is said that the Ji family's divine body once fought against the Golden-Winged Roc King, but was ultimately defeated by him!"

"Sigh~"

"Really? He's that powerful? Even the Ji family's divine physique isn't a match for him?"

Some people were immediately shocked.

"Hehe. It's just a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, but there's no smoke without fire, besides..."

"Not to mention what?"

Some people were impatient and kept urging and asking questions.

Then, exclamations of surprise rang out from time to time in the restaurant and in other places where cultivators gathered.

Those cultivators who had never heard of the Golden-Winged Roc King before quickly learned about his various awesome and incredible deeds from some older cultivators.

For example, many of the holy sons and daughters of the same generation as the Golden-Winged Roc King were very wary of him and were no match for him.

For example, the Golden-Winged Roc King was one of the few prodigies who dared to provoke the Overlord Immortal, yet he survived in the end.

For example, the Golden-Winged Roc King once fought a fair battle in front of everyone against Ye Fan, the now world-renowned Holy Body of the Human Race and the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

Although the final result was that the Golden-Winged Roc King narrowly lost to the Human Saint Body, the Saint Body Ye Fan also exhausted all his means in that battle and suffered very serious injuries.

Rumor has it that both Ye Fan, the Holy Body of the Human Race, and Lu Zhou, the Overlord Immortal, cherish each other and have made a pact to fight again after the Golden-Winged Little Peng King successfully completes his trials.

These numerous glorious deeds of the Golden-Winged Roc King immediately gave many cultivators who had never heard of him before a very intuitive and three-dimensional impression of him.

In short, he is a prodigy of the same generation as the Overlord Immortal Lu Zhou and the Holy Body Ye Fan.

Very few of his peers could rival him.

"He went to challenge the nine trials of the Heavenly Roc Clan's Saints, and disappeared for nearly thirty years. Now that he has successfully passed the trials, I really don't know how strong he has become now?"

Many people gazed at the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness, at the ancestral land of the Tianpeng Clan, and expressed their feelings, speculating about the current cultivation level and combat strength of the Golden-Winged Little Peng King.

"It is rumored that Ye Fan, the Holy Body, can kill half-saints, and Lu Zhou, the Overlord Immortal, slaughters saints like dogs, having killed dozens of saints in the Eternal Starfield." "And those holy sons and daughters who were of the same generation as the Overlord Immortal and the Holy Body back then have basically all achieved the Dao. It is rumored that many of them can fight against a Great Completion King, or even a half-saint!"

"Leaving aside the Overlord Immortal, since the Golden-Winged Roc King could compete with the Holy Body Ye Fan and those other holy sons and daughters of his generation back then, he probably won't be far behind now!"

"Perhaps he could even kill a half-saint now."

Hey.
I don't know when it started, maybe it was because of that war between the demon courts, but gradually, the semi-saints who were originally high and mighty in the Big Dipper are now increasingly becoming a unit of measurement.

Many cultivators speculate that the Golden-Winged Roc King, after successfully passing the trial, possesses the combat power to slay a half-saint.

Some people say this is an exaggeration.

Upon his return, Ye Fan slew Yuan Gu, the eighth-generation descendant of the Yuan Emperor, in a single battle, earning him a formidable reputation.

But Ye Fan possesses the renowned Sacred Body physique, a fully developed Sacred Body that can rival even the Great Emperor, demonstrating its incredible power.

Furthermore, Ye Fan has cultivated multiple imperial scriptures and mastered various nine secrets and imperial techniques.

It is clear that Ye Fan has far surpassed many of his peers.

Many cultivators believe that although decades ago, Little Peng King, like many holy sons and daughters, was able to compete with the Holy Body and even successfully passed the nine trials of the Saint left by his ancestor.

They must have already severed their path by now.

However, his combat strength should be similar to that of some of his contemporaries, at most capable of fighting against a Great Completion King or even a Half-Saint.

Most of them are not as ruthless as Ye Fan, the Holy Body, or Hua Yunfei, who was reborn after being destroyed, to the point of being able to kill a half-saint.

"Hey, I'm saying it's possible that we've all underestimated the Golden-Winged Roc King!"

"Oh?"

"How to say?"

"Don't forget, the Golden-Winged Roc King went to challenge the Nine Trials of the Sage left behind by the Great Sage of the Heavenly Roc in ancient times."

"Since it's called the Nine Trials of the Sage, and it was left behind by a Great Sage, is it possible that the Golden-Winged Roc King, after successfully passing through the trials, has already become a saint?"

"Ah this."

"hiss"

Some people clicked their tongues in amazement, while others gasped in shock.

Only then did some people realize that it wasn't impossible.

If not, why would it be called the Nine Passes of the Sage?

Does this imply that as long as you successfully pass those nine trials, you will become a saint?

Some cultivators thought this was very likely.

Many monks still hold onto their original views.

It has only been less than thirty years. I heard that the Golden-Winged Roc King had not yet broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm before he went to challenge the trials.

In such a short time, they did not believe that the Golden-Winged Roc King could break through the barrier of the Holy Realm and become a Saint of the Fourth Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.

This speed of cultivation was truly exaggerated for them, exceeding their comprehension.

After all, even the legendary Overlord Immortal, who is said to slaughter saints as easily as slaughtering dogs, has not yet become a saint.

Finally, amidst the heated discussions about the Golden-Winged Roc King, cultivators holding these three viewpoints even clashed, each sticking to their own ideas.

"Eh eh eh"

"I said, what's there to argue about?"

"Isn't it rumored that after the Golden-Winged Roc King narrowly lost to the Holy Body, he made a pact with the Holy Body and the Overlord Immortal that if he successfully passed the trial, he would have to fight the Holy Body and the Overlord Immortal again?"

"It is rumored that both the Holy Body and the Overlord Immortal had promised to do so at the time."

"Now that the Golden-Winged Roc King has emerged from seclusion, and both the Overlord Immortal and the Holy Body are in the Big Dipper and the Eastern Wilderness."

"I suppose that soon, this challenge that has been awaited for nearly thirty years will be fulfilled!"

"When the time comes, we just need to wait for them to fight, and we'll know the answer!"

This person's words caught the attention of many onlookers.

They were really looking forward to this excitement.

The anticipation isn't just about what kind of combat power the Golden-Winged Roc King will possess after successfully clearing the challenges.

Many cultivators wanted to indirectly verify whether the rumors about Lu Zhou's successive massacres of saints were true or false.

The rumors were too brutal. It was said that Lu Zhou, who had not yet become a saint, had slaughtered several terrifying beings at the Saint King level in the Eternal Starfield.

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
When this rumor surfaced, some people believed it, while others did not.

Those who believe it do so because, many years ago, Lu Zhou had already decisively defeated a half-saint in the starry sky.

This scene was witnessed by many people.

Now, so many years have passed, and based on Lu Zhou's various achievements since his debut, some people believe that even if the rumors are exaggerated or unfounded, some of them should still be true.

They believed that Lu Zhou, in his current state, might not be able to defeat a Saint King, but he should be able to defeat some Saint-level beings.

In recent days, quite a few idle people have argued about this rumor, each sticking to their own point of view.

They were looking forward to seeing Lu Zhou make a move again.

Unfortunately, as everyone knows, Lu Zhou has rarely made a move and hasn't taken action in BeiDou for many years.

It seems that there are fewer and fewer people worth his time these days.

The older generation either had a good relationship with Lu Zhou, or even if they wanted to kill him, they didn't dare to bully the younger generation, or they simply couldn't find a good opportunity to secretly kill him.

And those of the same generation as Lu Zhou?
Ha ha
I'd better not say anything!
Now that such an opportunity has presented itself, those who haven't seen Lu Zhou make a move in years are naturally very excited.

As time passed, many cultivators who had witnessed Lu Zhou accepting the challenge from the Golden-Winged Roc King came forward and confirmed that it was indeed true.

Gradually, I wondered if someone was secretly guiding me.

Or perhaps this was simply what everyone wanted.

There are too many onlookers and too many cultivators who, for one reason or another, are looking forward to the duel that has been awaited for nearly thirty years.

In short, the wind direction is slowly changing.

The initial heated discussion about the Golden-Winged Roc King's successful breakthrough turned into a heated debate about when the Golden-Winged Roc King would fulfill the nearly thirty-year-long duel with the Holy Body Ye Fan and the Overlord Immortal Lu Zhou.

The news caused a great stir, shaking the Central Region, creating a commotion in the Eastern Wilderness, and filling the Five Regions with anticipation!
Many cultivators turned their gazes toward the Central Region, toward the Heavenly Court, and toward the Emperor.
Someone's here, damn it!
Looking in the direction of Wanlong's Nest, he was filled with hatred.

Clearly, Lu Zhou is not the only one who wants to become a dragon knight.

Rumors have been circulating that the Overlord Immortal has been staying at the Dragon Nest lately, and has even taken advantage of the Dragon Girl.
This once again shook Beidou, even overshadowing the Golden-Winged Roc King's successful breakthrough and the matter of the challenge.

Some people were envious, while others were speechless.
Some people have become numb and indifferent, thinking that this is just a perfectly normal script.

Regardless, many cultivators turned their attention to the parties involved: the Overlord Immortal, the Holy Body, and the Golden-Winged Roc King.

We're just waiting for their response.

In response to this battle between the three of them, will we fight again or not?

If war is to be fought, when will it take place?

Where will the battle take place?

As a result, I heard that some powerful groups have even started gambling operations.

Amidst this clamor of heated discussion and widespread anticipation,

On this day, a voice suddenly came from the ancestral land of the Tianpeng clan.

It is the Golden-Winged Roc King.

"war!"

The word "war" lingered in the sky above the ancestral land of the Tianpeng clan, refusing to dissipate for a long time.
