Open up and break into another world

Amidst the dissatisfaction of the top experts, Xu Ming stood with the other nine hundred and ninety-nine victorious geniuses.

“Xu Ming, who did you choose as your master?”

“Xu Ming, why do I feel that the Palace Master and the elders don't look at you kindly?”

“Xu Ming, what level of genius have you been classified as?”

… …

Many geniuses transmitted messages to Xu Ming, asking questions.

After all, Xu Ming's conversation with Palace Master Po Tian and the other experts was conducted through small-scale transmissions; others couldn't eavesdrop on the conversation at all, and naturally, they were completely unaware of Xu Ming's earlier "arrogance and ignorance."

“Arrogance and ignorance?” Xu Ming didn't think so.

Xu Ming had his own ideas; he knew very well how his future path of martial arts should go! — Since he was already very clear, he naturally didn't need to take a master who would point fingers at his path of martial arts.

Moreover, Xu Ming often had to rely on hacking to improve his cultivation and strength — if he took a master, hacking once or twice would be fine; but if he hacked too many times, it would be easy to have his abnormality discovered. When that time came, it would be troublesome for Xu Ming to explain!

To avoid these troubles, Xu Ming had no choice but to be "arrogant" once.

As for whether Xu Ming was truly arrogant, only “time” could answer the great experts.

… …

“Brother Xu Ming, what's wrong? What happened?” Chi Xue couldn't help but ask with concern through a voice transmission.

“It's nothing,” Xu Ming replied casually.

It was best not to let anyone know about his bet with Palace Master Po Tian.

“Geniuses who emerged victorious from the Dao Enlightenment War!” At this moment, Old Man Xuan Qing slowly stood up, clearly about to announce something.

In many areas of the Dao Questioning Banquet, there were dissatisfied discussions in private:

“Those who emerged victorious from this Dao Enlightenment War can be called geniuses?”

“The real geniuses have been buried! Those who emerged victorious are just cats and dogs!”

“That's right! This Dao Enlightenment War is simply a joke!”

“If I were a high-level member of the Dao Questioning Palace, I would definitely demand that the Dao Enlightenment War be held again!”

Lin Chen, Yun Fan, and Qin Ke, these three geniuses, were the most frustrated — they had originally been recognized as the top three in strength; but now, they had all been eliminated!

What an ironic thing!

However, the three of Lin Chen could only silently accept this reality.

“Lin Chen, Qin Ke, don't be too depressed!” Elder Yao Ren of the Purple Moon Holy Land comforted these two geniuses under his wing, “Even if you didn't emerge victorious from the Dao Enlightenment War, the Holy Land will definitely buy you a spot to enter the Divine Kingdom!”

Buy a spot?

And the other geniuses of the Purple Moon Holy Land were probably even more depressed than Lin Chen and Qin Ke! — Because, “Divine Kingdom spots” were simply too expensive; the Holy Land simply couldn't afford to buy spots for them.

… …

Old Man Xuan Qing's gaze swept over every genius who emerged victorious from the Dao Enlightenment War. When his gaze landed on Xu Ming, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

Of course, this hint of regret was only fleeting.

Immediately, Old Man Xuan Qing continued, “All one thousand of you will enter the 'Divine Kingdom' to cultivate! After entering the Divine Kingdom, you will not be able to return to the Endless Continent for a very long time; therefore, you will be given half a year to deal with trivial matters — after half a year, gather at the Dao Questioning Palace and head to the Divine Kingdom together!”

“Yes!” The thousand geniuses responded in unison.

“Alright, disperse and return to your respective areas!” Old Man Xuan Qing said.

… …

Xu Ming and Chi Xue walked together towards the area where the six great territories were located.

Before they even got close, a large group of experts rushed to meet them in a flurry.

Among the experts, the five leading figures were the leaders of the five top-tier earth-grade forces — Sect Master Ouyang Xiexie of the Holy Fire Sect, City Lord Tang Chengxue of Floating Snow City, Sect Leader Tian Qizi of the Remnant Moon Sect, Palace Master Liu Junxi of the Qianyang Palace, and Patriarch Ye Zigui of the Ye Family.

Among the six top-tier earth-grade forces, only Lakeside Island didn't stand up to welcome them.

“Brother Xu Ming is truly unfathomable!” Sect Master Ouyang Xiexie of the Holy Fire Sect completely lacked his usual fierce and sinister expression, instead smiling obsequiously at Xu Ming, adopting an extremely humble attitude.

“As expected, heroes emerge from youth!” Palace Master Liu Junxi of the Qianyang Palace also greatly praised.

“Brother Xu Ming, I admire, I admire! At only twenty years old, your strength is already not inferior to us; in a few more years, you will definitely leave us old ghosts far behind!” Tian Qizi's flattery was very sincere; because what he said was all true — Xu Ming's current strength was indeed not inferior to the half-step Dao Venerables; and in a few more years, Xu Ming would definitely leave them in the dust!

Regarding Tian Qizi's flattery, Xu Ming only wanted to say — stop spouting such obvious truths!

And seeing Tian Qizi, Xu Ming couldn't help but think of the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain.

The Dao Seeking Demonic Domain was once jointly occupied by six major forces.

And several years ago, during the period when the Remnant Moon Sect controlled the Demonic Fiend Gate, Xu Ming “accidentally” completely destroyed the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain… …

The Holy Fire Sect and the other five major forces couldn't find Xu Ming, the culprit, so they could only vent their anger on the Remnant Moon Sect. Sect Leader Tian Qizi of the Remnant Moon Sect inexplicably took the blame for Xu Ming.

Moreover, it was said that Tian Qizi even suspected that it was someone from the Thousand Transformations Sect who destroyed the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain. He even went to the Thousand Transformations Sect for this, but was slapped in the face by the Sect Master of the Thousand Transformations Sect; even now, the two sides are still tearing each other apart.

“This Tian Qizi is really quite pitiful!” Xu Ming couldn't help but look at Tian Qizi with sympathy — after all, his meddling in the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain was simply a disaster for the Remnant Moon Sect!

“As long as I don't say it, then the Remnant Moon Sect and the other six major forces will probably never know the truth!” Xu Ming thought wickedly in his heart.

When Xu Ming was adventuring in the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain, he had always been disguised — this was an old rule of adventuring in the martial world! After all, when wandering outside, if you don't disguise yourself a little, it's easy for enemies to trace you.

And the Black Mountain Eighteen Axes, Blood Thunder Gate, etc., that Xu Ming brought back from the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain, had also been disguised to varying degrees when they were in the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain. After moving to the Barbaric Sect, they removed their disguises and slightly changed their names, which could be considered whitewashing.

“Of course… … With the strength and potential I'm currently showing, even if I tell the truth, the six major forces would definitely not dare to trouble me!”

However, Xu Ming would not tell the truth; it's better to avoid trouble!

As for the pitiful Tian Qizi… … let him continue to foolishly tear at the Thousand Transformations Sect!

If, someday, Tian Qizi is killed by the Thousand Transformations Sect, then Xu Ming would laugh — his servant, Vice Sect Leader Mo Shang Daojun of the Remnant Moon Sect, would forcefully take control of the Remnant Moon Sect!

Of course, Xu Ming wouldn't force this; after all, the Barbaric Sect already has too much territory! In the short term, the Barbaric Sect doesn't need more territory — so, it's better to leave the Remnant Moon Sect alone for now! And Xu Ming's previous conflicts with the Remnant Moon Sect in the Dao Seeking Demonic Domain can also be put aside.

… …

Behind Tian Qizi and the other five half-step Dao Venerables were the elders of the five top-tier earth-grade forces, as well as the leaders and elders of other small earth-grade forces.

Island Master Xing Li of Lakeside Island never came forward; instead, he secretly looked at Xu Ming with incomparable jealousy.

In his heart, he was constantly pondering the message he had received not long ago: “I have already shown you the path; I can also give you the opportunity — what are you still hesitating about?”
