"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.


    "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.
