Chapter 981: Chapter 433: The Powerful and Confident Black Sword

If Qi Yuan’s earlier statements were considered a joke, now his confidence and domineering attitude had deeply shaken them.

Among so many Heaven Prides present, who wasn’t subdued by Brother Black Sword?

Even Ice Sword, though he wouldn’t admit to treating Black Sword as his benchmark, was always striving to catch up with him.

He knew that the more he chased after Black Sword, the wider the gap became.

So, what was this Blood Robe saying now?

Black Sword wasn’t part of the Great Ultimate Reasoning and didn’t qualify to be his target!

All the Heaven Prides were stirred, their gazes on Qi Yuan varied.

This Blood Robe, he was challenging Brother Black Sword!

Or rather, declaring war on Brother Black Sword.

The old stories of Ziyuan Tian unfolded in their minds.

Many seemed to smell the scent of gunpowder and war.

Thinking of how the ancestor of Ziyuan Tian had directly sent Black Demon Ancestral Blood to Blood Robe, they couldn’t help but wonder.

Brother Black Sword represented the elders of the Black Demon Abyss.

Half of the other nine elders were disciples of this elder.

The sixth elder of Ziyuan Tian was one of them.

But the sixth elder held a grudge against the elder and had always been discontent, which was no great secret within the Black Demon Abyss.

Now, with Blood Robe challenging Brother Black Sword, everyone could smell an intense whiff of gunpowder.

Was this a continuation of the struggle between the sixth elder and... the elder?

But... did this Blood Robe... really have the confidence to rival Brother Black Sword?

It must be known that once a practitioner of the Supreme Ultimate Reasoning from the Great Ultimate Reasoning visited the Black Demon Abyss, upon seeing Black Sword, had said, "In my youth, I was far from equal to Black Sword."

Of course, they didn’t know that Qi Yuan had no such notion.

Others claimed he intended to surpass Brother Black Sword and considered Black Sword his target.

He simply wanted to clear his name; the person he sought to surpass wasn’t even qualified to be Brother Black Sword.

Black Sword’s expression remained unchanged, indifferent as a chrysanthemum, "I am merely walking a bit ahead of you all. You don’t need to see me as the target to surpass."

It seemed he didn’t take Qi Yuan’s words to heart.

An Xunlu looked at Brother Black Sword with stars in her eyes, and then disdainfully at Qi Yuan, "Look at Brother Black Sword and then at you; can you see where the difference lies?"

"Ah?" Qi Yuan didn’t quite understand An Xunlu’s words, "I can see it; he’s not as good-looking as me. That’s the difference."

"You!" An Xunlu was infuriated, "What are you babbling about? Brother Black Sword’s talent is a hundred times stronger than yours, and he surpasses you in looks by a hundredfold!"

Qi Yuan couldn’t be bothered to converse with An Xunlu any longer.

He could see that she was a mindless fan.

He disliked mindless fans the most; arguing with them was pointless—they’d just weave their own fantasies.

However, Ziyuan Xiaolu couldn’t help but interject, "Clearly, Senior Brother Blood Robe is more handsome than Brother Black Sword...!"

"Ziyuan Xiaolu, are you blind?" An Xunlu couldn’t believe that the normally reserved Xiaolu actually refuted her; she was caught off guard.

"My eyes are perfectly fine. It’s clear that Senior Brother Blood Robe is more handsome!" Ziyuan Xiaolu’s face reddened, clearly arguing was not her strong suit.

"Hmph!" An Xunlu changed the topic because, indeed... Blood Robe was much better looking than Brother Black Sword, "Brother Black Sword is the Sun God Heavenly Venerable, the number one Heaven Pride of our Black Demon Abyss, his talent far surpasses Blood Robe!"

"Senior Brother Blood Robe just started practicing the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ recently. If he’s given enough time, surpassing Brother Black Sword would not be a problem!" Ziyuan Xiaolu defended her position with reason.

Witnessing this scene, Qi Yuan was stunned.

This Ziyuan Xiaolu... seemed to be his mindless fan.

Qi Yuan suddenly felt he had been prejudiced, viewing a certain group through tinted lenses.

"Mindless fans" could also be good people.

The two girls chattered and argued non-stop.

At this moment, Brother Black Sword spoke out, his voice indifferent, "There’s another matter to announce.

The Ultimate Reasoning and Discourse Assembly is about to start. There are thirty spots for the younger generation to attend as observers.

The observer spots will be allocated based on one’s contributions to the Black Demon Abyss."

Hearing this, the Heaven Prides’ faces changed instantly, their breathing becoming rapid.

The Ultimate Reasoning and Discourse Assembly was one of the most significant events in the Sixfold Heavens.

When the time came, all invited Sun Gods and powers would go to the Council of Ultimate Reasoning to engage in discourse.

That was the Sun God Discourse, to comprehend ultimate reasoning!

For Heaven Prides like them, the benefits were tremendous; it could lay the foundation for their future paths.

It could be said that if they gained any enlightenment, it might save them hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.

But ordinary cultivators had no right to attend.

Even ordinary Sun Gods, without doing voluntary work for the Council of Ultimate Reasoning, were not eligible to participate.

Only top-tier Holy Lands like the Black Demon Abyss had several spots, even allowing the younger generation to attend.

"Contributions... it seems we can’t just cultivate anymore, we need to undertake missions!"

"Damn it, I haven’t done missions in so many years!"

"With less than a year until the Ultimate Reasoning and Discourse Assembly, how much contribution can we accumulate?"

The present Heaven Prides had faces filled with solemnity, a mix of joy and worry.

There were two ways to acquire contribution points, one by undertaking missions, and the other by breakthroughs in the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’.

The higher the level of breakthrough in the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’, the more contribution points earned.

Take Ice Sword, for example, at what level his ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ had reached.

Just the contribution points redeemable from this could support his obtaining a spot at the Ultimate Reasoning and Discourse Assembly.

After the Heavenly Venerable’s teaching session ended, everyone slowly left.

Ziyuan Xiaolu’s face was a bit red now; she obviously seldom quarreled and was somewhat inexperienced.

At times she frowned, and at times she pondered, seeming to replay her argument, thinking about how to improve further.

And at this moment, not far away, An Xunlu suddenly taunted her with a bizarre tone, "It’s a pity that Senior Brother Blood Robe, who just arrived in Ziyuan Tian and has only recently started practicing the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra,’ hasn’t undertaken much in the way of missions. He’ll probably miss this Ultimate Reasoning and Discourse Assembly, won’t he?"
