The old master sighed, "Talented people emerge in every generation!"
Lu Xuan sighed in agreement, agreeing that it was indeed true.
Old Celestial Master: "(￢_￢)"
Lu Xuan: "<(￣︶￣)＞"
Old Master: You really don't hold back!
Lu Xuan: Absolutely.
After exchanging two blows, he lost, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Old Celestial Master, a peerless master among men.
After a moment of contemplation, the old master sighed.
"Lu Xuan, you... didn't use your full strength, did you?"
If these words had not come from the mouth of the Celestial Master, and had fallen into the ears of others, they would probably have thought that the person who said them was crazy.
The battle between the two just now has undoubtedly exceeded the limits of the superhuman's imagination. Any one of their attacks, if it landed in the real world, would probably be enough to move mountains and fill seas.
But now the old master says that Lu Xuan didn't go all out. Could it be that Lu Xuan held back in those two seemingly unstoppable moves?
But that is indeed the reality.
The old master could sense that Lu Xuan, though seemingly the first to act, was actually the one who struck first and the one who followed.
The power of each move is precisely controlled at a level that is evenly matched with one's own strength.
But even so...
The old master no longer concealed himself and stretched out his hand to examine it carefully.
The wound was so deep that the bone was visible. Even though Lu Xuan used power at the same level as himself, he still easily cut through his protective golden light.
This only shows that he has far surpassed himself in terms of realm and cultivation.
This is not a level belonging to the human realm.
Therefore, it is only natural that Lu Xuan held back.
After all, the pinnacle of human power is ultimately human power, but Lu Xuan's power has already surpassed that of humans.
"You... came to see the Celestial Master?"
The old celestial master pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Now that you've seen it, why are you unwilling to use your full strength?"
"Even the profound mysteries of the Celestial Master's Degree are not enough to make you use your full strength?"
Lu Xuan's smile faded, and he didn't answer, but instead said seriously.
"Old Celestial Master, have you ever been defeated?"
The old master narrowed his eyes and understood what Lu Xuan meant.
Gently shaking his head: "No..."
"Whether it's sparring with fellow disciples, traveling down the mountain, or engaging in real battles, I have never truly lost..."
"However... Lu Xuan, fellow Daoist."
You don't think I can't accept failure, do you?
The old master said calmly, "The reason I keep winning is simply because I can't afford to lose. Defeat has never been something I can't accept."
The old master remained calm and composed; he was never one to be a sore loser.
He keeps winning because no one can make him lose, but that doesn't mean he can't accept failure.
Seeing the old master's frankness, Lu Xuan simply confessed as well.
"I just came to see the Celestial Master Du, whose profound teachings have reached the pinnacle of human understanding..."
Lu Xuan remained calm. He had held back just now to test the Heavenly Master's Degree, and his test had already revealed all the mysteries of the Heavenly Master's Degree.
Through the accumulation of generations of Celestial Masters, the Celestial Master's Degree has acquired profound mysteries that are unmatched in the entire world of supernatural beings.
"My understanding has surpassed that of all the Celestial Masters of the past, and is no less than that of Lü Zu."
"The power of this Celestial Master's Blessing is the pinnacle of human power, yet it remains confined to the human realm and is of little use to me..."
"The exchange just now was merely a friendly spar; why must the Celestial Master force it?"
I have already met the Celestial Master Lu Xuan and have fully understood his profound meaning, but I have no intention of giving him any guidance.
He was not without roots, nor did he have any desire to teach others.
If it's just self-righteous guidance, how is it any different from Wugensheng's intrusion into the Sanyi Sect back then?
Respecting the fate of others, Lu Xuan never liked to act as a teacher.
Moreover, the lineage of the Celestial Master's ordination is indeed capable of reaching the heavens, but... none of the Celestial Masters of all time are as good as me.
After pondering for a long time, the old master finally nodded and accepted reality.
The Celestial Master's Mansion is a lineage passed down by immortals and sages, so it is only natural that it would lose to a true immortal.
But then she changed the subject.
"Then let's disregard the Celestial Master's ordination and only consider how you and I are?"
"Lu Xuan! How about we try something else?"
The old master silently rolled up his sleeves.
Losing is one thing, being outclassed by the Celestial Masters is another, but Lu Xuan is just too arrogant.
Moreover, the old master, who had gone from being the pinnacle to a challenger, also wanted to know just how strong Lu Xuan really was.
"How about we have a fistfight?"
"Old Celestial Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Lu Xuan looked "reluctant," saying, "I really can't do something like beating an old person!"
"Then why are you rolling up your sleeves?"
"It was mainly because the Celestial Master extended such a warm invitation that I had no choice but to accept."
Lu Xuan looked embarrassed. "If you insist on taking action, then you can't blame me."
The old master was also prepared.
Lu Xuan has surpassed him, and even surpassed all previous Celestial Masters.
But the old master still wanted to see just how much worse he was when he was fighting to the death.
"Please, Elder Celestial Master."
The two smiled at each other, displaying the demeanor of highly accomplished individuals.
As the strongest individuals in the world of supernatural beings, their duels naturally displayed great sportsmanship.
The old celestial master struck first, raising his hand and slapping Lu Xuan's upper elixir.
A seemingly casual palm strike, yet it contained centuries of combat experience; countless masters had fallen to this move over the past hundred years.
Ultimately, this world is about cultivating one's life force; all techniques and supernatural abilities are external things.
No matter how fancy the methods are, as long as one's life cultivation is inferior to that of the Celestial Master, they can only be slapped down by the Celestial Master.
What appeared to be an ordinary palm strike contained the entirety of the old Celestial Master's life force and cultivation.
The old celestial master saw a palm strike coming straight at him.
The same action was aimed at one's upper dantian.
Old Celestial Master: "(ーー゛)"
Why does this scene look so familiar?
This was the last thought of the old master before he fell into a coma.
Lu Xuan quietly appeared beside the old Celestial Master and placed a palm on the old Celestial Master's elixir.
The old master immediately kicked his legs, fell backward, and slept soundly.
Lu Xuan: "┑(￣Д ￣)┍"
Everyone heard it; it was the Old Master who insisted on fighting me.
Abandoning all those fancy special effects, the result of relying solely on one's life and cultivation is so simple and unadorned.
The Celestial Master had reached the pinnacle in the human realm. The existence of the Celestial Master's Degree limited him, but it also granted him immense authority.
Unfortunately, though invincible in the world, an enemy came from the heavens.
The sheer numerical superiority is that simple and direct.
Lu Xuan looked at the old Celestial Master lying on the ground.
Since we're already here, why don't we bring something back for Master?
Lu Xuan: "????"
Countless images flashed before the old master's eyes, and everything from the past appeared before him.
Among them are those who defeated Lu Jin, Zhou Meng, Zhang Huaiyi, Fang Dongtian, and Wugensheng...
Old Master: "..."
What was supposed to be a slideshow has turned into a list of victims.
After recovering from looking at the list of victims, the old master realized that he seemed to have been slapped down.
Talented people emerge in every generation!
Losing is not terrible. The Old Master has lived for over a hundred years, so he can't even accept losing.
Even at the level of Longhu Mountain, considering the duties and status of a Celestial Master, it's simply that he lost because his skills were inferior.
Lu Xuan, at such a young age, has already transcended the mundane world. He is single-minded and truly has the demeanor of a "real person"!
Why does my chin feel a little cool?
The old master slowly woke up and then discovered that a certain "real person" was secretly plucking his beard.
Old Celestial Master: "?_?"
