Chapter 2054: Chapter 2054: Can’t Keep a Low Profile Even If I Want To!
After Xu Yeming, Hong Ying, and Jiu Bailu completed their tests.
The disciples of the Supervisory Temple and the various Great Powers drawn in by Hong Ying’s astonishing golden light fell silent.
They just stared fixedly at the remaining Mu Fusheng and Netherworld King.
This talent, this power.
Far surpasses the others in the Supervisory Temple!
They recalled their previous comments, feeling as if a slap landed on their faces, burning hot with pain.
However, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Mu Fusheng sighed helplessly.
Even though Second Senior Sister’s words made sense.
Revealing more strength indeed grants more influence.
Yet if all of them display extraordinary talent and power, it will inevitably attract attention from all around.
This is a double-edged sword.
Must exercise control...
Mu Fusheng thought to himself.
At this moment, Yang Shao snapped out of his amazement, looked at Mu Fusheng, and laughed loudly, "Brother Mu, don’t scare me like that; if there’s another golden light, I might die of fright."
Mu Fusheng replied, "Don’t worry, you won’t die of fright. I’m actually... quite weak."
Yang Shao hesitated, then waved his hand and laughed, "Come on, your friends are so strong, let alone you?"
Mu Fusheng said earnestly, "I’m serious."
After speaking, Mu Fusheng walked towards the Heavenly Observation Stone under the gaze of countless people.
Yang Shao hesitated, glanced at Netherworld King and the others, and pointed at Mu Fusheng, "Is he telling the truth?"
Netherworld King and the others felt a laugh stifled in their hearts and nodded.
If referring to the talent and strength about to be displayed, it’s true.
Yang Shao furrowed his brow, looked at Mu Fusheng, and pondered, "Did I judge wrongly? Or why did I feel Brother Mu was the strongest among you, but didn’t discover your talent and strength before and even looked down on you?"
Netherworld King and the others turned their heads, their faces slightly flushed...
Mu Fusheng arrived before the Heavenly Observation Stone, bowed to the Third Elder.
The Third Elder nodded slightly, "You are the one Yang Shao mentioned who’s proficient in talismans, correct? Let me see the level of your talent."
Of course, the Third Elder held back one thought.
If, on top of being proficient in talismans, this person reaches the Silver Light eight or nine layers... or even the level of Golden Light, he will be second to none!
Mu Fusheng nodded, placing his palm on the stone surface.
The Heavenly Observation Stone began to shine.
Under everyone’s gaze.
Especially under Yang Shao’s nervous gaze and the Third Elder’s expectant look.
The Silver Light rose steadily from the base, not as fast as the ascension of Xu Yeming, Hong Ying, or Jiu Bailu, but the control of the spiritual qi within was better than theirs.
The Third Elder nodded slightly.
Only alchemists and talisman masters could control their inner power so finely.
Three layers... the speed slowed down progressively.
Yang Shao’s throat tightened, whispering, "No way..."
Reaching the Silver Light three layers already met the threshold for inner sect disciples.
However... he previously thought Mu Fusheng was the strongest among them!
Four layers...
Eventually, it stopped at Silver Light Four Layers.
This was an average level within the inner sect disciples.
Disciples of the Supervisory Temple breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully... no more monster emerges.
The Third Elder looked a bit regretful, "Silver Light Four Layers, but the Heavenly Observation Stone doesn’t measure talisman mastery, so your talent is quite commendable."
Mu Fusheng again bowed, "Thank you, Elder. I’m taking my leave."
The Third Elder nodded.
Mu Fusheng returned to the crowd, wanting to say something but paused seeing Yang Shao looking dejected.
"What’s wrong with him?"
The Netherworld King shrugged, "Probably questioning his perception."
Yang Shao was indeed questioning life, doubting his perception.
Is his perception really that poor?
Overlooked a true monster and instead spotted the "weakest" one?
Mu Fusheng shrugged, "Senior Brother, it’s your turn."
Then voice transmitted, "Senior Brother, keep it low! Let Second Senior Sister and the others be high-profile... anyway you’ve gone through this kind of test before!"
The Netherworld King’s face darkened hearing this, glancing at Mu Fusheng before stepping towards the Heavenly Observation Stone.
As before, he bowed to the Third Elder.
At the Third Elder’s indication, the Netherworld King placed his hand on the Heavenly Observation Stone.
No surging spiritual qi, no grand momentum.
But the moment his fingertip touched the stone surface—
A crisp sword hum seemed to resonate within the Heavenly Observation Stone!
The next instant, silver-white light exploded from the stone heart like a volcanic eruption! In a flash, it enveloped the entire giant stone, the blazing silver light as dazzling as the blazing sun at noon, forcing many disciples to squint.
Silver Light Nine Layers!
And within the silver glow, countless sword shadows drifted, each sharp and distinct, existing for just an instant yet making every swordsman present tremble in their souls.
Just a moment!
Silver Light Nine Layers?
Everyone’s face showed shock.
The Third Elder appeared extremely grave.
Mu Fusheng slapped his forehead.
Didn’t I say to be low profile... why does this happen again?!
Yet the Netherworld King too was momentarily stunned.
He had been suppressing his internal sword intent.
But upon pressing against this Heavenly Observation Stone.
He realized this stone also held a trace of sword intent.
That sword intent seemed insistent that Netherworld King’s internal sword intent not be restrained, and, before he could react, it forcibly dragged out his internal sword intent, infusing it into the Heavenly Observation Stone!
Rumble!
The sword intent within Netherworld King continuously flowed into the Heavenly Observation Stone.
At the same time, the sword intent within the stone soared skyward!
A vast area of silver light enveloped the sky above the Supervisory Temple!
Silver Light Ten Layers!
Everyone watched the sky, faces grave, then hurried toward the Heavenly Observation Stone.
This commotion... likely signals another golden light monster!
Too fast!
Sure enough.
As disciples, stewards, even the Second Elder and First Elder rushed to the scene.
The sword intent soaring up, from inside to out, began emitting strands of golden light!
As the golden light flowed.
The sword intent seemed like blades, shaking the surrounding space!
Even some disciples of the Supervisory Temple found themselves forced to activate defenses, fearing injury from this golden light sword intent!
What’s going on here?
Even with golden light, it wouldn’t affect others!
The approaching First Elder was stirred, after all, Netherworld King was brought back personally by him!
"Sword cultivator... the Heavenly Observation Stone was cut into ninety-nine pieces by a Great Power sword cultivator of the Holy Court, situated at ninety-eight Supervisory Temples, with the largest piece residing in the Holy Court!" First Elder explained, "And this person too is a sword cultivator; likely his talent in Sword Dao resonated with that sword intent!"
Rumble!!!
Another thunderous sound.
Sword hymns chimed crisply throughout the Supervisory Temple.
The soaring sword intent, completely transformed into gold!
Golden Light Ten Layers!!!
