Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

"Chu Xinghe of Haoran Peak, please... fight against the Nascent Soul cultivator."

A single sentence was like a planet falling into the ocean, creating towering waves. Both the people of the Haoran Immortal Sect and the Taixu Sword Sect were stunned into place.

What followed was a flurry of discussion.

"Senior brother, did I hear that right? What did Junior Brother Chu Xinghe just say? He wants to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"If you heard me correctly, then you must have heard me correctly."

"Hiss... What do you think, Senior Brother?"

"How else can you look at it if you're just standing there?"

"I'm referring to Junior Brother Xinghe's challenge to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Just stand there and watch. Didn't I tell you? I've never seen a Golden Core cultivator fight a Nascent Soul cultivator, how can I possibly watch?"

It was clear that the disciples were generally bewildered during their discussion. The impact Chu Xinghe had had on them was simply too great.

Whether from a sensory or cognitive perspective, it is enough to overturn their original way of thinking.

First, it resonated with all the Daoist paths, leaving a significant mark on the history books of the Dao Peak. Then, with a single word, it averted the tribulation of five Golden Core cultivators, an unprecedented feat in the cultivation world.

Then, he instantly defeated Dugu Wentian, forcefully restoring the reputation of the Haoran Immortal Sect and displaying his invincible prowess.

Now, he's actually challenging a Nascent Soul peak cultivator while only at the Golden Core stage? Is he overly arrogant? Or is he truly confident?

People can't figure it out.

Even if Chu Xinghe triggered a resonance of all paths and instantly defeated Dugu Wentian, they still couldn't believe that... Chu Xinghe could fight across an entire major realm.

It's important to understand that, considering the cultivation speed of geniuses in sects, it generally takes over five hundred years to go from the peak of the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm. This clearly demonstrates the vast difference in cultivation speed.

It can be said that those at the Golden Core stage are like grandsons in front of those at the Nascent Soul stage, utterly powerless to defend themselves or retaliate. There is simply no comparison between them.

Moreover, Chu Xinghe was not facing an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Rather, it was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who could be considered a prodigy in the entire Northern Wilderness and even the Imperial Continent.

Theoretically speaking, this is simply impossible.

But then again, doesn't Chu Xinghe know this?

His rapid rise to prominence in just over a decade demonstrates his extraordinary abilities. It's impossible he wouldn't have considered this; the fact that he thought of it and still stepped forward speaks volumes.

The thought of that possibility makes it impossible for people to remain calm.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Chu Xinghe could rival Nangong Chi, his name would instantly fly out of the Haoran Immortal Sect and become a hot topic of discussion throughout the Northern Wilderness.

Even Taiyi back then couldn't do this. The significance of this achievement is self-evident.

"As expected of you."

Chang Wen was also deeply moved by Chu Xinghe's actions and began to look at him with new respect. He had thought that Chu Xinghe's ability to trigger the resonance of all paths and defeat Dugu Wentian was already his limit. He never expected that there would be something even more extraordinary.

To challenge a Nascent Soul cultivator with only a Golden Core Realm cultivation level? And a top Nascent Soul cultivator from the Northern Wilderness? That's quite audacious.

"Senior Brother, can Third Senior Brother beat him?"

Su Xiaoman asked worriedly. Chu Xinghe had given her a jade pen, and she had a good impression of him, so she didn't want to see him lose.

"I don't know. But your third senior brother isn't reckless. Since he's willing to fight, it means he's confident. Don't worry."

Chang Wen patted her little head and smiled.

Lin Baoding and the other peak masters also came to their senses and looked at Chu Xinghe, trying their best to stop him.

The Haoran Immortal Sect has finally produced a top-tier immortal seedling; they will not allow it to run rampant. A Golden Core cultivator challenging a Nascent Soul cultivator? That's utterly a pipe dream.

"Xinghe, I don't mean to discourage you. Let's discuss this matter further. As for the battle between Nascent Soul Realm cultivators... someone else will step in to resolve it."

Qiu Dao spoke first. He would rather lose the bet than have Chu Xinghe suffer any mishap.

"That's good, it's commendable that you care about the sect, but you should also act within your capabilities. Once you've become stronger, we can get our revenge later."

Lin Baoding also spoke up to persuade them. The other peak masters also chimed in with their own words of advice, and everyone was of one mind.

Taking over Haoran Peak was merely a means to make reasonable use of resources, and was by no means aimed at any particular person. This shows how much importance the interests of the sect hold in their hearts.

Now that Chu Xinghe has displayed unparalleled talent and shoulders the future of the Haoran Immortal Sect, they must protect him.

"Uncles, please rest assured, I know what I'm doing. Please grant me your permission."

Chu Xinghe remained unmoved and stuck to his own opinion.

He wasn't a competitive person, but since Dugu Wentian and the Taixu Sword Sect had actually called him a piece of trash, he had no choice but to stand up.

Furthermore, a high-level Qi Luck Spiritual Vein is extremely important to him. If he could obtain it, he might be able to use the power of Qi Luck to advance to the next level and enter the Nascent Soul Realm in one fell swoop, saving him several years of arduous cultivation.

The most, most, most, most important point is that Chang Wen has been too good to him. How could he not want to repay him?

If he could win this high-level auspicious vein and bury it beneath Haoran Peak, Chang Wen would also benefit from it. Considering these three points, he had to give it a try.

"No, absolutely not."

Peak Master Xingfeng immediately rejected the idea, saying, "With your talent, you will surely become the face of the Haoran Immortal Sect in the future. You must not let your Dao Heart be shattered here. If you want to fight, I will be the first to object."

He worried that Chu Xinghe's Dao heart would shatter after his defeat by Nangong Chi. This would be even more serious than losing a high-level Qi Luck Spirit Vein.

"Why are these old guys so protective of Xinghe?"

Chang Wen looked at them with new respect.

He used to have a stereotypical view of these peak masters, thinking they always put profit first. But now he's different.

If these peak masters valued their own interests, they would definitely encourage Chu Xinghe to seize the opportunity, rather than trying their best to obstruct him.

Furthermore, when Shen Nianqing awakened her Yin-Yang Sacred Body, they all vied to provide her with cultivation resources. They didn't seem like people who would be swayed by money; rather, they seemed to have a long-term vision and were focused on the continued development of the Haoran Immortal Sect.

"It seems necessary to re-examine the Vast Immortal Sect."

The situation on the field was changing rapidly, and no one dared to relax for a moment. They kept their eyes fixed on Chu Xinghe's location, trying to predict what would happen next.

The peak masters were still trying their best to persuade Chu Xinghe not to fight. Their words were flying everywhere, showing how hard they were trying.

"My fellow disciples, there's no need to persuade me any further; my mind is made up. However, before I go into battle, I would like to ask you all for a favor."

Chu Xinghe didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "If I can win this battle, could you give me the Haoran Peak with that high-level Qi Luck Spirit Vein?"

The peak masters frowned, their expressions turning strange.

So, we've been talking to you for ages, but we're not even on the same wavelength?

We old guys don't want your Dao heart to be damaged, and you're already eyeing high-level Qi Luck Spirit Veins? Are you that greedy?

It makes us old folks seem like we're worrying unnecessarily.

"Haha, as expected of a young prodigy! He speaks with such confidence!"

Kong Jian burst out laughing. "Hey Lin Baoding, you old folks are really going backwards! You're not even as good as a twenty-something! If he wants to fight you, let him. You won't lose your houses or land. You still have another chance, right?"

"That's right, let him go! Let us old guys see for ourselves whether this young man's abilities match his tone."

"It's actually a little scary~ Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

When the peak masters of the Taixu Sword Sect heard Chu Xinghe directly demand the Qi Luck Spiritual Vein, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
