Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

Chapter 44 The First Person of the Young Generation in the Northern Wilderness

"Gentlemen, I am a seeker of the Dao. I thank you all for coming from afar..."

"...Now I hereby declare that the 1988th Daofeng Dao Discussion Conference shall now begin."

The old, deep voice, carried by true energy, drifted across the entire Lake of Inquiry, reaching the ears of countless people.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, Qiu Dao caused the misty vapor on the surface of the entire Dao Asking Lake to suddenly rise, transforming into spiritual fog that drifted towards the Heavenly Street.

The spiritual mist cleanses the body, removing all impurities. It helps one calm the mind more quickly during cultivation, a benefit enjoyed by many. Those who benefited clasped their hands in praise, saying that this single act alone made the trip worthwhile.

"That's quite a show."

Chang Wen couldn't help but sigh. Then, driven by curiosity, he took a look at the Seeking the Dao panel.

[Name, please ask. 】

[Age/Height/Weight: 42012 years old/175cm/75kg]

[Identity: Peak Master of Dao Peak.]

[Realm Level: Ninth Level of Mahayana Realm.]

[Spiritual Root, Top-Grade Wind Spiritual Root.]

[Physical constitution: None.]

[Favorability, 60/100]

[System review: Classic and outdated.]

"The favorability rating is actually 60."

Chang Wen had long anticipated that Qiu Dao was a Mahayana Realm expert, so he wasn't surprised by Qiu Dao's strength. However, the level of goodwill he received was somewhat unexpected.

However, this was clearly a good thing. Chang Wen quickly regained his composure and continued watching.

I heard that the Taixu Sword Sect will send someone to this Daoist Conference. I wonder how things will turn out.

As the spiritual mist cleansing finished, Qiu Dao looked at the tens of thousands of Dao Peak disciples preparing to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference. Just as he was about to speak, his attention was drawn to the commotion in the distant sky.

"Having heard that Dao Peak is holding a Daoist discussion conference, I have come uninvited. May I ask if you could prepare a seat for me?"

Suddenly, an old voice rang out, its penetrating power comparable to that of the one who had just sought the Dao, startling everyone present.

Then, four extraordinary figures appeared in the public eye, making a very high profile.

Before long, the four appeared in the sky and were seen by the disciples on the Heavenly Street, causing a series of exclamations.

"The Sect Master of the Taixu Sword Sect! It's the Sect Master of the Taixu Sword Sect! He actually came in person."

"Why would such a high-ranking figure come to my Dao Peak in person?"

"It must be something very important, otherwise he would never have come out in person."

"It's just a forum, what could be so important?"

"I don't know about that. By the way, does anyone recognize who those three people behind him are?"

"I recognize the one on the far left. He's Taiyi, the number one young talent in the Northern Wilderness. I didn't expect even he to be here."

"Holy crap, he's the Taiyi who's dominated the Northern Wilderness for nearly a century?"

"That's right, rumors say he has a red sun mark between his eyebrows, it can't be faked."

"It doesn't look particularly special."

"Heh. Nothing special. The number one young talent in the Northern Wilderness, do I need any other adjectives?"

"That's true. Who are the other two?"

"I don't know him. But judging from his age, he should be a leading figure of the Taixu Sword Sect in recent times."

"Bringing so many fighters here, are they here to cause trouble for us?"

"You just realized that?"

Whispers rose and fell. A shadow fell over the disciples' hearts.

Taiyi was like a mountain, making it hard for all of them to breathe. This was a thorn in the hearts of many disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

Whenever they fought with disciples of the Taixu Sword Sect, the other side would bring up Taiyi as an example. They would insult him, saying: "The younger generation of the Haoran Immortal Sect are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of Senior Brother Taiyi."

They simply couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Taiyi is truly too strong, having ranked first on the Northern Wilderness Heroes List for ninety-nine consecutive years.

The more outstanding one is, the more one can feel their power. It's simply beyond human capability to contend with.

Even Quan Zhenzi, the number one disciple of the Haoran Immortal Sect, was repeatedly defeated by him, and his Dao heart was almost shattered.

Therefore, even when mocked by the Taixu Sword Sect, they couldn't find a reason to retaliate. They felt extremely frustrated.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire Tianjie Street dropped a bit, and there was a sense of morale being dampened.

Seeing Taiyi means facing the painful truth that no one in the Haoran Immortal Sect can rival him. This is a disaster for them, who take pride in the Haoran Immortal Sect.

It's like there's something stuck in my chest, but I just can't seem to get rid of it. It's almost developing into a heart condition.

Taoist viewing platform.

Chang Wen's gaze also fell on the four people as he checked the panel.

First is Kong Jian, the sect leader of the Taixu Sword Sect.

[Name: Kong Jian]

[Age/Height/Weight: 49252 years old/179cm/78kg]

[Identity: Sect Master of the Taixu Sword Sect.]

[Realm Level: Peak of Mahayana.]

[Spiritual roots: Top-grade metal spiritual root, top-grade water spiritual root.]

[Physical constitution: None.]

[Favorability, 0/100]

[System evaluation: His life goal is to curb the development of the Haoran Immortal Sect, and he enjoys doing so immensely.]

"Unsurprisingly, it's another peak Mahayana expert. This should be the sect master of the Taixu Sword Sect."

Chang Wen made his judgment and moved his gaze, which landed on the three young men behind him.

Two men and one woman.

Chang Wen first looked at Taiyi.

[Name, Taiyi. 】

[Age/Height/Weight: 456 years old/182cm/82kg]

[Identity: Holy Son of the Taixu Sword Sect.]

[Realm Level: Fifth Level of the Integration Realm.]

[Spiritual Root: None.]

[Physique: Chaotic Saint Body.]

[Favorability, 10/100]

[System evaluation: Rapid progress.]

"Fifth level of the Integration Realm, Chaos Saint Body. No wonder he can consistently rank first on the list of outstanding talents in the Northern Wilderness."

Chang Wen couldn't help but sigh, while also glancing at him a few more times. With a system at his disposal, he was bound to shine brightly in the future, and perhaps he would even have to spar with him; he was definitely worth watching closely.

After looking at Taiyi, Chang Wen looked at the remaining two.

There's a man and a woman; let's look at the man first.

[Name: Dugu Wentian]

[Age/Height/Weight: 399 years old/172cm/82kg]

[Identity: Candidate for the next Holy Son of the Taixu Sword Sect.]

[Realm Level: Peak Golden Core]

[Spiritual root, top-grade five-element spiritual root.]

[Physical constitution: None.]

[Favorability, 0/100]

[System evaluation: Arrogant and disdainful of everyone.]

"The Golden Core Realm is not worth paying much attention to."

Seeing that Dugu Wentian was only at the Golden Core stage, Chang Wen ignored him and looked at the female cultivator.

[Name: Nangong Chi]
