The short three words brought a silence to the world.

Everyone looked up at Taoist Baishan, only feeling that there was an indescribable aura of dominance on his aged face.

He smiled broadly, but his gaze carried a condescending look.

As if saying, you are not worthy to walk alongside me.

Buddha Baoshu's expression slowly calmed down, without a trace of fluctuation, yet everyone could feel it.

He was angry.

With just three short words, Taoist Baishan broke his composure. He had thought of all possible reasons for Taoist Baishan's rejection, but not such a simple and direct one. In his view, nothing could outweigh the opportunities of the future.

For people of their caliber, just standing there is a kind of promise; everything else is minor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have purposefully sent a Heavenly Crane Tree to release tension while wanting to ally with Taoist Baishan, only because these are insignificant.

He believed.

The only reason for Taoist Baishan's rejection was that he thought he was not strong enough.

After a long while.

He sighed quietly:

"It seems that over the years, the old friend's strength has made a great breakthrough?"

Taoist Baishan's eyes gradually turned cold:

"What? Want to make a move?"

Gradually, Buddha chants began to emerge around Buddha Baoshu, surrounded by golden light, vaguely seeing Arhat Buddhas chanting in low voices. The sound, gathered together, gradually became mighty, and some martial artists with lower cultivation unknowingly had their faces become kind and gentle, seemingly assimilated, and were startled awake by their companions with an expression of shock directed at Buddha Baoshu.

Buddha Baoshu, holding the Glazed Buddha Tree, appeared increasingly holy:

"Please enlighten me."

The Buddha Tree blossomed with light, streams of never-before-seen power flowed out from it, sometimes transforming into golden lotuses, sometimes into Buddhas, carrying overwhelming power to oppress Taoist Baishan.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes filled with amazement.

Some older people had already guessed.

The power of the Martial Saint!

Their hearts were both astonished and excited. Unexpectedly, there was such a change during the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony today, with two rumored Martial Saint powerhouses stepping out of history. That impact was inherently incomparable, and now they are about to make a direct move!

Taoist Baishan smiled faintly:

"Bao Shu, after all these years, you still haven't made much progress; your Glazed Treasure Tree is lacking."

Facing the boundless Buddha light, his Taoist robe fluttered despite no wind, and as he reached out to grasp, an Ancient Seal inscribed with profound Taoist patterns appeared in his hand. As soon as the Ancient Seal appeared, it attracted everyone's attention—plain yet possessing immeasurable Taoist might.

The Ancient Seal grew rapidly in the wind, resembling a mountain, faintly accompanied by a long cry of Immortal Crane, with flowers dancing in the sky. A mysterious power unrelentingly suppressed Buddha Baoshu.

In an instant.

The Taoist grew as the Buddha faded, with golden lotuses crushed and Buddha chants compressed. Some who were affected by assimilation awoke in shock.

True Man Baixiang wept tears of excitement:

"It's the True Monarch's True Profound Seal!"

Seeing the legendary figure walk out before him, the realization of a belief left him feeling exalted.

The battle between two Ancient Saints was not earth-shattering.

But all Celestial Human Realm powerhouses were alarmed, and Taoist Longshan felt this was the most terrifying existence he had ever seen. That day when his apprentice fought Blade Demon, it was already spectacular, but compared to the two before him, it seemed lacking.

Now, mystical forces collided, visible to the naked eye, with tiny black fissures continually appearing at the edges of the clash, rapidly healing.

Celestial Human Realm powerhouses were aghast.

This was power strong enough to tear space apart!

"Is this the power of the Martial Saint Realm?" Everyone was shocked, filled with awe and longing.

But one person was the exception.

Ning Qi's gaze was slightly surprised.

He acknowledged that Buddha Baoshu and True Profound True Monarch were very strong, and those mysterious forces were indeed Martial Saint powers beyond doubt, but they were not nearly as strong as he imagined. He even felt that he could take on both.

Ning Qi stared into the sky.

He saw the Glazed Treasure Tree and True Profound Seal were already standing in the void, streams of mysterious power pouring out from the two treasures and intertwining, tearing open spatial fissures.

But Ning Qi was more focused on the treasures themselves, as for tearing spatial fissures, he could accomplish that now.

After reaching Celestial Being Perfection, his strength surpassed before.

"These Glazed Treasure Tree and True Profound Seal should also be Martial Saint Secret Treasures. If I'm not mistaken, the Martial Saint power used by Buddha Baoshu and Taoist Baishan is transformed through these two secret treasures!"

Gold light filled Ning Qi's eyes as he observed the operation of the two's power.

Amazed, he found that these two were not much different from the Yu King Pearl, possibly only a bit stronger.

"Why is this? Do they themselves not possess Martial Saint power? Has the power remained unrecovered or is there some reason they cannot use it?"

He was shaken.

But to some extent, this explained why the two weren't as strong as Ning Qi imagined.

Otherwise, these two Martial Saint Realm powerhouses left from ages past couldn't possibly only have this level of strength.

Ning Qi seriously considered, knowing that any further speculation was pointless now.

The best way is to ask these firsthand witnesses; perhaps Taoist Baishan is a breakthrough point. Before knowing Taoist Baishan was the True Profound True Monarch, he had a fairly good relationship with Taoist Baishan, but now knowing he is the True Profound True Monarch, Ning Qi cannot fathom the previous intentions of Taoist Baishan.
