"Supreme Elder!"
Master Taixuan was momentarily stunned but quickly got up to pay his respects upon recognizing the identity of the visitor.
Fu Zhao!
The Supreme Elder of the Taisu Sect.
He was also the only powerhouse of the Taisu Sect at the half-step to the Divinity Realm.
However—
Observing Fu Zhao just emerging from seclusion, Master Taixuan appeared to realize something, and his expression grew somewhat excited.
"Supreme Elder, have you broken through to the Divinity Realm now that you have emerged from seclusion?"
Divinity Realm!
Upon hearing these three words, the other sect elders became fervently animated.
Fu Zhao’s expression remained placid, "Thanks to the Sect Master bringing me the corpse of a True Intent Grandmaster, otherwise it would have taken me at least another ten years to achieve a breakthrough to the Divinity Realm!"
He was only a half-step away from the Divinity Realm, yet that half-step had trapped Fu Zhao for many years.
Until not long ago.
When Master Taixuan came back with the corpse of a True Intent Grandmaster, Fu Zhao finally managed to use it to successfully break through.
The royal family of the Ji Family was annihilated.
All the Grandmasters perished.
Naturally, the corpses of the warriors of this caliber were sought after by all parties.
Despite this, Master Taixuan, being powerful, forcibly snatched the True Intent Grandmaster’s corpse from the hands of numerous forces.
Otherwise.
Just as Fu Zhao himself had said.
Without this True Intent Grandmaster’s corpse, it would take him at least another ten years to break through to the Divinity Realm.
Master Taixuan was immediately elated by the other party’s affirmative response.
"It’s an unprecedented grand event for the Supreme Elder of the Taisu Sect to attempt the summit of the Divinity Realm!"
"There’s no need for further words, what is the current situation in Central State?"
Fu Zhao waved his hand, heading straight into the main topic.
Upon hearing this.
Master Taixuan’s smile faded, and he spoke with gravity, "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, since the royal family’s downfall, Sword King, supported by the Divine Sword Sect, has suppressed all parties, while the One Side Lord, supported by our Taisu Sect, has been continuously defeated.
Unless something unexpected happens, Central State is likely to fall into the hands of the Divine Sword Sect.
I believe that, with Sword King currently in his prime, it’d be wise for the Spirit King to temporarily withdraw to Ling Province, regroup the forces, and then battle them again!"
"There is no need for such trouble. Every sect supporting a One Side Lord to contest the Nine States is because all parties are about the same in strength, and if they truly turn against each other, both are bound to be injured, leading to mutual destruction.
But now that I have broken through to the Divinity Realm and am the sole figure in the Divinity Realm, our Taisu Sect naturally has the qualifications to contend for supremacy in the world!"
Fu Zhao raised his hand to interrupt Master Taixuan, speaking with a domineering tone.
His words.
Shook Master Taixuan to the core.
"Does the Supreme Elder intend to take action personally?"
"Why not?"
Master Taixuan’s expression showed understanding.
Indeed.
As Fu Zhao said.
The sects do not directly engage in a struggle for power; they support other forces because they do not want to openly confront each other and suffer mutual losses.
However.
All these premises.
Are under the condition that the opposing forces are equal in strength.
Now that the Taisu Sect has a powerhouse in the Divinity Realm, there was no need to adhere to the old rules.
If the Immortal Sects and noble families are the powers that established the rules, then a supreme expert in the Divinity Realm is capable of breaking those rules.
With that.
Many of the rules no longer needed to be followed by the Taisu Sect.
The next three thousand years.
Eventually belonged to the Taisu Sect.
Thinking this, Master Taixuan revealed a smile, "The Supreme Elder is right; I was somewhat biased in my view. What are your plans for your next move, Supreme Elder?"
"I shall personally visit Central State; all who resist will be slaughtered. If they are wise, I might spare their lineages.
Otherwise, these forces no longer need to exist!"
Fu Zhao spoke indifferently.
With the breakthrough to the Divinity Realm, it was as if the Nine States of the world were all within his grasp.
This level of power.
Was simply incomparable to the likes of the Transformation Realm and Martial Arts Grandmasters.
If he wanted.
He could suppress everything.
Master Taixuan nodded, "With the Supreme Elder holding these thoughts, the sect will surely support you."

"However..."
At this point, Master Taixuan’s expression became much more solemn.
"Unknown to the Supreme Elder, Qingyun State produced a supreme expert several years ago, one suspected to be on par with the legendary Martial Ancestor of ten thousand years past.
This person, with a single slash, killed Gu Yutian, destroyed the Tianyang Sword Sect and is deemed to be the foremost person in Universal Martial Arts today. Even before the fall of the Taixuan Dynasty, he was conferred the title of Martial Saint.
The Supreme Elder must be cautious regarding this individual!"
"Martial Arts’ first person?"
Fu Zhao also appeared startled, having been in seclusion for many years, he hardly paid attention to affairs in the Martial World and was naturally unaware of Gu Qingfeng’s existence.
It was not until Master Taixuan brought it up that Fu Zhao understood that, during the years of his seclusion, another powerful figure had emerged in the world.
Then.
Fu Zhao coldly smiled, "What of it, being peers with the Martial Ancestor of ten thousand years ago? It’s rumored that the Martial Ancestor set the stage for Universal Martial Arts, and his cultivation had broken through the limit of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, stepping into an even more profound realm.
But now that I’ve entered the Divinity Realm, even if the Martial Ancestor were reborn, it’s not certain that I cannot deal with him.
A younger generation, no matter how demonically talented, how much turmoil can he cause?"
Upon learning of Gu Qingfeng’s existence, murder intent arose in Fu Zhao’s mind.
Despite his dismissive talk about Gu Qingfeng, one who could advance Martial Arts to such an extent in just a few decades was definitely a talent that defied the heavens to an extreme extent.
Such a person.
Fu Zhao would certainly not let him live.
