"What do you want?"
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent.
"Fight me."
Xiahou Fengyun's tone was simple and direct.
His purpose in coming to Jixia Academy was not to learn the Confucian Dao at all.
He was not interested in the Confucian Immortal Weapon, the Celestial Chapter Scroll, either.
He just wanted to gauge Jun Xiaoyao's true strength.
"You... are not qualified enough."
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at Xiahou Fengyun.
His tone contained no deliberate belittlement or mockery.
It was as if this was a very objective, very natural evaluation.
But this, on the contrary, was an even greater humiliation.
"I am one of the kings sealed by the Xiahou Emperor Clan, not a character like Xiahou Zhen!"
Xiahou Fengyun's aura surged, as if the sound of wind and thunder resonated.
"Gu Qingtian, he's yours."
Jun Xiaoyao was too lazy to bother with Xiahou Fengyun, he said indifferently.
"Alright, fighting is my favorite!"
Gu Qingtian grinned and laughed.
He had no interest in the Celestial Chapter Scroll either; he only wanted to battle.
"Gu Qingtian, what does this have to do with you?" Xiahou Fengyun frowned.
"My Master defeated me, so I have to listen to my Master for now," Gu Qingtian said.
"What?"
Xiahou Fengyun looked surprised.
Gu Qingtian of the Ancient God Emperor Clan was not someone to be trifled with.
If it came to close combat, even he wouldn't have an easy time against him.
"Only by defeating Gu Qingtian will you barely be qualified to challenge me."
After Jun Xiaoyao finished speaking, he directly ascended the spiritual mountain with Yiyi.
Xiahou Fengyun wanted to make a move directly, but he was blocked by Gu Qingtian.
"You are from the Ancient God Emperor Clan, why do you obey Jun Xiaoyao!"
Xiahou Fengyun was also a bit exasperated.
He came to gauge Jun Xiaoyao's true strength.
Now, he didn't even have the qualification to challenge Jun Xiaoyao.
This was simply absurd; he would surely face criticism when he returned to his clan.
"When you make a bet, you have to accept the loss. I lost, so I have to acknowledge it." Gu Qingtian was almost single-minded.
On the other side, Tantai Qingxuan and others were also preparing to ascend the mountain.
"Qingxuan."
Chu Xiao suddenly spoke.
Tantai Qingxuan didn't show much expression.
"Qingxuan, you believe me, don't you? I wouldn't do such a thing..." Chu Xiao was still explaining.
Tantai Qingxuan took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, then sighed.
"Chu Xiao, perhaps there might indeed be some misunderstanding."
Chu Xiao's face lit up upon hearing this, but then he heard her say:
"However, you hurt Mingzhu; that is an undeniable fact."
"She is my cousin, my relative. How could you lay a hand on her? How am I supposed to understand you?"
Tantai Qingxuan's tone carried a deep sense of disappointment.
And also loss.
If it were the old Chu Xiao, no matter what, he would absolutely never harm her relatives.
But now...
"No, it's all because of her..."
Chu Xiao's face fell.
And precisely at this moment, Tantai Mingzhu, who was behind Tantai Qingxuan, even made a face at Chu Xiao.
This instantly ignited a fire in Chu Xiao's heart.
If it weren't for this bitch, how could Tantai Qingxuan misunderstand him so much?
"You bitch..."
Chu Xiao was furious and couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Chu Xiao, you..."
Tantai Qingxuan bit her silver teeth, her expression growing even more disappointed.
She turned her head, no longer paying attention to Chu Xiao.
Tantai Mingzhu, on the other hand, stuck out her tongue, her face full of playful provocation.
Chu Xiao's expression was extremely cold.
He knew that his only chance to turn the tables now was to surpass Jun Xiaoyao.
He wanted to tell Tantai Qingxuan that he was no worse than Jun Xiaoyao!
The spiritual mountain, towering into the clouds.
Ten thousand steps, under normal circumstances, a Cultivator could fly over in the blink of an eye.
However, this place possessed the powerful pressure of the Confucian Immortal Weapon, the Celestial Chapter Scroll.
So it was not that simple to reach the summit.
Han Ping'an, possessing the Magnificent Heart, naturally considered this place his home ground.
Therefore, his steps were quite leisurely and at ease, as if walking on flat ground, showing no signs of difficulty at all.
Han Ping'an smiled, but when he looked back, his expression slightly froze.
Because Jun Xiaoyao was also ascending with equally steady and composed steps.
It was as if the pressure of the Celestial Chapter Scroll had no effect on him whatsoever.
Han Ping'an immediately understood after a moment's thought.
He himself was like a fish in water because he possessed the Magnificent Heart.
As for Jun Xiaoyao, he was truly breaking through all obstacles with his own strength.
Even if this place was not Jun Xiaoyao's home ground, he still walked as if on flat ground, without any hindrance.
At this, Han Ping'an's eyes also became a little more serious.
And what surprised him even more was that, let alone Jun Xiaoyao, even the young girl beside him didn't seem to have any difficulty.
"What's going on? Has the pressure of the Celestial Chapter Scroll weakened?"
Han Ping'an was a bit confused.
However, he saw that other academy Disciples were having a very difficult time.
Even a proud daughter like Tantai Qingxuan was moving as slowly as if she were wading through a swamp.
This meant that the pressure of the Celestial Chapter Scroll was not weak.
It was just that it had little effect on Jun Xiaoyao and Yiyi.
"That Jun Xiaoyao aside, what's going on with the young girl next to him?"
Han Ping'an was puzzled.
However, he didn't have time to think too much now.
He had absolute confidence in himself.
Moreover...
Even after ascending the spiritual mountain, there was still one final test.
That ancestral hall was not something anyone could easily enter.
Han Ping'an was almost the chosen one of the Confucian school.
As time passed, the people present clearly divided into several tiers.
Han Ping'an, Jun Xiaoyao, and Yiyi were in one tier.
Tantai Qingxuan, the True Disciple Saints of Jixia Academy, and Chu Xiao, among others, were in another tier.
Even Song Daosheng was struggling to advance.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to reach the summit.
However, enduring the pressure of the Celestial Chapter Scroll was also a kind of gain, no less than the Righteous Qi Source.
At this moment, Chu Xiao's expression was a little unsightly.
Because truthfully, he wasn't particularly interested in Confucian martial arts.
And he had Cultivated for over two hundred years in the Universe World.
He had only been comprehending the fragmented pages of the Time Book and understanding the Divine Abilities of the Chu Clan Emperor Clan.
He hadn't Cultivated many Confucian Divine Abilities.
Therefore, at this moment, facing the pressure of the Celestial Chapter Scroll, Chu Xiao couldn't gain any advantage.
And he was not like Jun Xiaoyao, who possessed the confidence and strength to ignore everything.
So his progress was also getting slower and slower.
But even so, he was only second to Han Ping'an, Jun Xiaoyao, and Yiyi.
About a quarter of an hour later, Han Ping'an, Jun Xiaoyao, and Yiyi reached the top of the spiritual mountain.
They finally saw the full view of the ancestral hall.
It didn't look luxurious or extravagant, but rather appeared ancient and vibrant.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, this is an ancestral hall personally built by the Sacred Confucian. I wonder if you have the ability to step inside?"
Han Ping'an said indifferently.
"Then let's try it." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
The two were at odds, needless to say.
At this moment, outside the Sacred Realm Space, at the Dragon Gate.
The three Masters also saw the scene on the spiritual mountain's ancestral hall.
"This time, there shouldn't be too much suspense, right?" Master Gu stroked his beard.
"Who knows what the situation will be?" Yan Qinghua shook the fan in her hand and said indifferently.
But her gaze was fixed intently.
Han Ping'an had the advantage of timing, geographical location, and human relations; he was almost the pre-determined inheritor of the Dao.
While Jun Xiaoyao was powerful, he was, after all, an outsider who came halfway.
Under everyone's gaze, Han Ping'an and Jun Xiaoyao stepped into the ancestral hall almost simultaneously!
