The victor is Dugu Wudi, current ranking: fourth in Inner Mansion Realm.

Before the Sound-Attuned Immortal Form had even ended, the battle was already over!

This wasn’t a match against someone ranked around ninetieth, but facing the fourth-ranked Inner Mansion expert in the Grand Illusory Realm.

In life-and-death confrontations, victory and defeat often hang in a single instant.

But the performance of the Sound-Attuned Immortal Form was indeed too stunning.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t just the Sound-Attuned Immortal Form itself.

The state of “Ten Thousand Sounds Ascend, I Hear Them All” is powerful, but it only provides mastery over all information obtainable through sound.

The true capturing of opportune moments and influencing of victory or defeat still relied on Jiang Wang himself.

Jiang Wang’s superior combat talent was the fundamental key.

The combination of the two resulted in such a beautiful outcome.

The facts proved that Jiang Wang’s decisive choice of the Sound-Attuned Immortal Form and his expenditure of significant effort to engrave this Dao technique was an extremely wise decision.

The battle just now wasn’t the most striking aspect of the Sound-Attuned Immortal Form.

What Jiang Wang saw through this battle was actually the ‘Wrong Path’.

The greatest restriction of the ‘Wrong Path’ divine ability lies in “Knowledge and Perception”.

Knowledge is consciousness, perception is eye-consciousness. By discerning matters and judging difficulties, one gains knowledge and perception.

To some extent, it is also “Self-Knowledge” and “Perceiving the Enemy”.

And the Sound-Attuned Immortal Form can undoubtedly help supplement the “Perceiving the Enemy” part. This allows the ‘Wrong Path’ divine ability to be partially freed from its restrictions, and this, right now, is the greatest value of this Dao technique!

Jiang Wang couldn’t help but think, if one could cultivate the Eye Immortal, Ear Immortal, Nose Immortal… as depicted in the Ten Thousand Immortals Ascending diagram, wouldn’t one be able to understand the enemy thoroughly in a single glance? “Perceiving the Enemy” would no longer be a restriction. How terrifying would the ‘Wrong Path’ be then?

This thought flashed and disappeared, as it was far too unrealistic.

Even the Ear Immortal was a long way off!

However, under the Sound-Attuned Immortal Form just now, using Eight Tones Burning Sea, he felt some points of disharmony.

Eight Tones Burning Sea is not perfect, at least in the sound-killing part, it’s not enough.

The victory or defeat of a single matching battle didn’t linger in Jiang Wang’s heart for long.

Only by standing firm on one’s feet can one climb high.

He silently calmed his mind and entered a detailed adjustment of Eight Tones Burning Sea.

This almost苛刻 pursuit of perfection…

He wasn’t like this for a moment, or for a day.

In the same battle, the victor and the loser naturally have different moods.

Jiang Zhaoyuan is the son of Jiang Kelian, the Great General of Qinghai卫 in the Jing Kingdom, and also the fifth-ranked expert in the Inner Mansion Realm of the Grand Illusory Realm, having just been knocked down from fourth place.

As the only military-court empire among the world’s top six powers, the entire Jing Kingdom is ruled by a military court composed of six protector armies and seven guard armies, thirteen armies in total, with the military leader as the national ruler.

The thirteen armies jointly honor the national ruler and govern the populace below.

Jiang Zhaoyuan’s status can be seen from this.

At this moment, he sat on his bed, still somewhat in a daze.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength and had held back in the Grand Illusory Realm, but… he just lost like that?

That powerful fire-sound mixed Dao technique wasn’t the main point. The key was that the opponent seemed to have completely predicted his combat choices.

He almost delivered himself to the opponent, actively colliding with the opponent’s Outer Mansion level Dao technique.

This usually happens only when there is a complete crushing of strength. Just like how he now deals with cultivators in the Ascending Dragon Realm, he can easily predict all of the opponent’s choices.

So, under the same Inner Mansion Realm, was he completely crushed?

Even if he unleashed all his power, was there really any possibility of victory? Was there even one percent of a possibility?

He intended to participate in the Yellow River Meeting and was working hard to secure a spot in the Inner Mansion Realm, but this battle just now undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water over him.

In the Grand Illusory Realm, where expansion speed has always been restricted, fighting against fellow realm cultivators is already so difficult. How can one hope for first place when truly facing the prodigies of the entire world?

“Zhaoyuan!” A refined voice sounded from outside: “The Lantern Festival the day before yesterday, I didn’t see you! Why are you weary again?”

This voice was all too familiar, belonging to his close friend Zhongshan Weisun.

He was the direct grandson of Zhongshan Yanwen, the Great General of the Red Horse卫.

The Qinghai卫 and Red Horse卫 have always been harmonious, and he and Zhongshan Weisun were also childhood playmates. Unlike other friends who gradually drifted apart, they became more kindred spirits as they grew older.

“It’s meaningless!” Jiang Zhaoyuan said in a muffled voice: “The door isn’t locked, come in yourself!”

Zhongshan Weisun pushed the door open and entered, dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing white jade, with a smile on his face and polite demeanor.

In the Jing Kingdom, which is governed by the military, such refined and gentle young men are rare.

Even Jiang Zhaoyuan himself was burly, used to baring his chest and drinking from large bowls.

“Why is it meaningless again?” Zhongshan Weisun said as he walked into the room.

“Going to the Yellow River Meeting and raising the banner for Great Jing is the true interest of a man.” Jiang Zhaoyuan got up and poured two bowls of wine: “What’s there to see at the Lantern Festival!”

“It’s not just a man’s interest. If Huang Sheli heard this, she would trouble you again!” Zhongshan Weisun smiled and then asked: “Didn’t we agree to see the outcome of the Yellow River Meeting when the time comes?”

Among the seven guard armies of the Jing Kingdom, the bald great general of the Yellow Dragon衛 is surnamed Huang.

Huang Sheli was his beloved daughter, quite fierce. She was someone who could use her reputation to scare men like Jiang Zhaoyuan.

Jiang Zhaoyuan didn’t answer his previous sentence, drank a bowl by himself, and said in a muffled voice: “You’ve seen the outcome, but I don’t have much of a chance!”

As for the Outer Mansion Realm spot, Zhongshan Weisun naturally considered it already in his grasp. But he was a little surprised by Jiang Zhaoyuan’s frustration.

“This isn’t like you.” He asked: “What happened?”

Their friendship was very deep, so there was nothing to hide.

Jiang Zhaoyuan briefly described the battle he had just experienced in the Grand Illusory Realm, emphasizing that the opponent’s combat power completely crushed him.

Zhongshan Weisun frowned, as he was naturally aware of Jiang Zhaoyuan’s strength.

“Could it be another Zuo Guanglie?” He asked: “Can you tell which country the opponent is from?”

Jiang Zhaoyuan shook his head: “Everyone in the Grand Illusory Realm hides themselves deeper than the last. How can you tell?”

Zhongshan Weisun thought about his name Zhao Tiezhu in the Grand Illusory Realm… He couldn’t disagree.

“However…” Jiang Zhaoyuan added: “That person’s name in the Grand Illusory Realm is quite arrogant. He must be a boastful person.”

“Not necessarily.” Zhongshan Weisun said: “People who are arrogant in the Grand Illusory Realm may just be low-key and reserved in reality. This way they can better conceal their identity, right? What did you say his name was?”

Jiang Zhaoyuan said with lingering fear: “Dugu Wudi.”

Dugu Wudi!

Zhongshan Weisun was greatly shocked!

That person was only in the Inner Mansion Realm? Can someone in the Inner Mansion Realm take down a Blessed Land?

How is that possible!?

Even Zuo Guanglie, when he was in the Inner Mansion Realm, couldn’t do it!

But Jiang Zhaoyuan had no reason to lie to him.

There is actually such a prodigy in the world!

Zhongshan Weisun felt that his long-held self-importance and arrogance had been crushed to nothing.

Noticing his friend’s unusual expression, Jiang Zhaoyuan asked: “What, you know him too?”

Zhongshan Weisun struggled to calm his emotions: “I can only say that person might be even more terrifying and powerful than you feel, than you imagine!”
