"You... you actually walk the path of the Netherworld Great Dao?"

Great Sage Tongyou looked at Chu Feng, who wore a faint, unreadable smile, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Chu Feng said with a smile: "The Netherworld Great Dao is but a minor path. My title is Great Sage Qiankun; with a single palm, I hold heaven and earth, so a mere Netherworld Great Dao is naturally within my control."

His tone was very flat, but to everyone else, it sounded incredibly arrogant.

But Great Sage Qiankun was worthy of such arrogance.

Many cultivators began to discuss in whispers.

"This Great Sage Qiankun has only been a sage for a few years; how has he traveled further on the Great Dao than Great Sage Tongyou?"

"The path of the Great Dao emphasizes the word 'enlightenment'. If Great Sage Qiankun's understanding of the Great Dao is deeper than Great Sage Tongyou's, then naturally he has traveled further."

"There is another possibility: Great Sage Qiankun became a sage through destiny and comprehended nine hundred and ninety-nine truths of the Great Dao. In this way, after breaking through to the Sage Realm, he is stronger than ordinary sages."

"..."

Chu Feng listened to the discussions of the crowd without any change in expression, and with a wave of his big hand, all the phenomena before his eyes disappeared.

He cast his gaze upon Great Sage Blood Sea not far away: "Senior, do you also wish to offer me some guidance?"

"Hmph!"

Great Sage Blood Sea snorted coldly: "Kid, you are strong, but defeating an old man like me isn't that easy. Today, this old man wants to witness for himself just how strong your so-called single palm holding the universe is."

His strength was about the same as Great Sage Tongyou's; since even Great Sage Tongyou was no match for this kid, he most likely couldn't take the other down either.

But as a sage, he would absolutely not shy away from battle.

"As you wish, Senior, please make your move."

Chu Feng spoke and also made a gesture of invitation.

The more lightly and calmly he behaved, the more it seemed to the world that he did not place Great Sage Blood Sea in his eyes.

Great Sage Blood Sea, as the person involved, had a face that turned green and purple alternately, looking extremely ugly.

He said through gritted teeth: "Junior, today I will let you experience my power, Blood Sea's Fury!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, heaven and earth changed color, and a vast ocean of blood surged out from the void.

Enveloping Great Sage Blood Sea, it also howled towards Chu Feng.

Chu Feng looked at the sea of blood before him and said with a smile: "Senior, I didn't expect you to really be a genius. If I am not mistaken, as long as this sea of blood is not extinguished, you are immortal and indestructible."

"Count you as having some insight, kid, but today even if you talk until you're blue in the face, this old man will not show mercy."

As Great Sage Blood Sea spoke, the sea of blood had already swallowed the pressure emitted by Chu Feng.

At this moment, Chu Feng was like a small boat facing a tsunami, possibly swallowed by this endless sea of blood in the next second.

"Sword, come!"

Chu Feng shouted loudly, his big hand grabbing into the void.

Clang!

Accompanied by the sound of a sword cry, a precious sword cut through the void and flew towards Chu Feng.

It was a precious sword that could destroy heaven and earth.

That sword was clearly suspended high in the sky, but everyone present was frightened by the sword intent emitted from this sword, causing their souls to tremble with unease.

"Great Sage Qiankun indeed did not lie; his Great Dao can control the universe and create all things!"

"Is this Great Sage Qiankun's Qiankun Great Dao? The Three Thousand Great Daos are all grasped in hand!"

"Great Sage Qiankun is actually this terrifying!"

"Slash!"

Chu Feng shouted loudly, and that sword slashed towards the sea of blood.

Rumble!

Accompanied by a loud noise, heaven and earth cracked within the secret realm.

It was as if this Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm would be shattered in the next second.

Grand Sage Jiuding saw this scene, and his heart could not stop bleeding.

Even though he knew there was the divine might of the Great Dao left by the ancestors in this secret realm, it could not withstand the constant consumption by these guys!

A long time later, the explosion ended.

Inside the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm, everything returned to normal.

The endless sea of blood disappeared, leaving only Great Sage Blood Sea floating in mid-air, the look of astonishment on his face still not dissipating.

"Daoist Qiankun, your Great Dao is matchless; this old man admits defeat."

Chu Feng smiled and cupped his fists: "Senior, you flatter me. Without the guidance of you two seniors, this junior would not know what level my understanding of the Great Dao has reached."

Great Sage Blood Sea: "..."

He now only felt his heart being ruthlessly stabbed. He wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out, so he could only choose to return to the Blood God Sect's camp.

Chu Feng still stood in the sky without changing his expression, sweeping his gaze over the group of sages present.

He asked with a smile: "I don't know which other senior wishes to come up and guide this junior with a few moves?"

His words were still that calm, but to everyone, they sounded incredibly arrogant.

It was just like saying "I want to fight nine at once."

Great Sage Zhanshen was the first to step out and say: "We have already witnessed Daoist Qiankun's Dao, and it is truly extraordinary. We will not make a move."

As soon as these words were spoken, Great Sages Tongyou and Blood Sea felt an impulse to beat someone up; this old fellow was very bad.

You let yourself be the good guy, and let the two of us brothers be the bad guys, right?

Chu Feng asked with a smile: "Then, regarding the upcoming Ten Sages Grand Competition, does everyone have any opinions?"

Great Sage Zhanshen said with a smile: "According to the rules of previous years, there are two methods. One is for the disciples of the various holy lands to draw lots for combat, deciding a single winner."

"However, this method is not only laborious, but also many disciples below the Nirvana Realm do not have the opportunity to properly display their strength."

Chu Feng nodded slightly: "Senior is absolutely right. I wonder what the other method is?"

Great Sage Zhanshen continued: "The other method is to let the disciples challenge each other; only by defeating all the chosen geniuses can one be called the number one genius of the current era."

"That works very well."

Chu Feng smiled: "Then let us use the second method. I wonder what the other Daoists think?"

"We defer to Great Sage Qiankun."

The sages present chimed in one after another.

It was not that they did not dare to fight Chu Feng, but that this method suited their intentions. After all, drawing lots might very likely cause internal battles among their disciples.

Great Sage Zhanshen said: "Since fellow Daoists have no objections, let us start now. For the first three days, disciples below the Nirvana Realm will exchange pointers; in the following days, disciples above the Nirvana Realm will engage in combat."

"Agreed."

Chu Feng did not object either. After speaking, he returned to the camp of the Asking Dao Academy.

As soon as he landed, the Grand Sages and elders of the Asking Dao Academy came up to greet him.

"Chief Chu, you are truly amazing to have easily defeated two sages."

Chu Feng said with a smile: "They simply didn't use their full power. If it were a battle of life and death and they both attacked together, I might not have won so easily."

Hearing this, everyone didn't know whether to continue flattering or say something else.

"Alright, you all prepare yourselves; let the disciples below prepare to face the geniuses of the various holy lands."

Chu Feng brought the topic back to the right track.

"Yes."

After the crowd responded, they each retreated to instruct their disciples.

Half an hour later, the Ten Sages Grand Competition kicked off...
