Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 134 New Record!

?

[ 25! ]

Only one-fourth of an hour had passed and Crixus had already reached the highest floor he cleared in the past, and he did it in a much shorter Time frame.

With this, he had broken the record for the fastest ascension to the 25th floor, and that included Arthur's.

"This...."

Everyone present at the Sword Tower was short of words.

"This should be impossible! Or was the rumor about his cultivation level lies?"

"No, they are not. The Great Elders would not lie about something like that. And besides, he had previously taken a cultivation-level test in from of many disciples."

"I know but, this is just too hard to swallow."

"Sigh... I feel the same way too."

"The realm of these geniuses isn't something we average disciples can comprehend."

Many lamented their inferiority when compared to great geniuses such as Crixus.

The higher the cultivation realm, the harder it is to fight above your realm.

So for Crixus to reach this level of strength meant that he could really fight and defeat early-stage Martial Emperors easily.

[ 26! ]

"He advanced again!"

"He did it! He broke his previous record!"

"Now he is the second person to go beyond the 25th floor."

"That's right."

Everyone acknowledged Crixus as the second person to go past the twenty-fifth floor.

But no one knows that there was someone else who cleared the twenty-fifth floor and went beyond it.

'Zaith Asura'

But for some reason, no one seems to know about this very important information.

As the disciples present discussed animatedly the upcoming martial arts tournament, the news of Crixus's progress in the sword tower quickly spread throughout the sect.

They were all very excited.

The Grand Martial Arts Tournament will arrive soon and having a powerhouse like Crixus gave them hope to win the championship.

Some lamented how nice it would be if Arthur was at the same cultivation rank, then their victory will be assured.

If it wasn't for the fact that they know of the monsters of the Hartfield Academy, they would have a hundred percent confidence in winning.

The Hartfield Academy had the strongest disciples and their position has been unchallenged for thousands of years now.

The last time the Heavenly Sword Sect had a disciple whose strength could match that of the strongest disciple of the academy was over three thousand years ago.

But even then, he was only a match and could not defeat the strongest disciple of the Hartfield Royal Academy.

However, he himself could not be defeated either, so they became rivals.

That disciple later became the next Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect but he mysteriously disappeared a thousand years ago along with the Dean of the Heartfield Royal Academy who was his rival from his younger years.

The disappearance of two of the strongest Martial Ancestors caused quite a commotion which was later suppressed by their factions.

Anyway, that Sect Leader was the master of the current Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

And the Vice Sect Leader was his disciple-in-name.

....

At the Elder's Meeting Hall...

The Great Elders were gathered, still in discussion of the matters of the sect when they both received the news of Crixus's progress in the tower.

Immediately, the supporters of the Blood Sword Faction among them smiled victoriously.

"Fellow elders, with this our meeting should be concluded no?" One of them said as he eyed the previously opposing elders.

His meaning couldn't be any more clear.

'Crixus has already proven that his talent is not lower than Arthur's and might even be higher considering how hard it should have been to clear the tower with his current strength.

Meanwhile, the elders who supported Arthur were put in a dilemma.

'How did he get so strong and at the same time raise his battle power rating?'

The battle power rating was only one of the ways to rank geniuses but only at the lower levels of cultivation.

Because the higher the cultivation realm, the harder it is to cross a realm or a stage to battle.

So the battle power rating decreases as cultivation increases.

But Crixus just went against common sense as not only did his battle power rating not decrease, but it instead went through the roof!

"I still think we should wait a little while before deciding."

"What do you mean? Are the results not clear enough?"

"That's right, Elder Rover. You can not continue to drag things out. Let us quickly send our decision to the Vice-Sect Leader."

Elder Rover was the secret master of Matthew who informed Arthur about the plan of the Great Elders.

He was one of the low-key members of the Sect and was mostly neutral, as a result, no one knows his true strength.

He, like his disciple, prefers to be unnoticed, only showing up when important.

But for the first, he is showing interest in the matters of the sect. This confused his peers and they couldn't help but wonder if he knew anything about Arthur's real identity.

"Elder Lin, I am not stalling trying to drag things out. I just do not want us to make a hasty decision in the absence of the Sect Leader."

Elder Lin was the father of the Vice-Leader of the Blood Sword Faction and was also a member of a great martial arts family, the Lin Family which was one of the strongest martial arts families with a great heritage.

Elder Lin narrowed his eyes and responded, "What do you mean by that statement? Does that mean you don't trust the judgment of the Vice-Sect Leader?"

"Elder Lin please do not put words in my mouth. How could I imply such a thing, I-" Elder Rover defended himself but stopped talking halfway.

"Why are you suddenly silent? Do you admit to it?" Elder Lin sneered as he saw Elder Rover's frozen expression.

But he did not know that the reason Elder Rover got like that was because of a piece of news he just received.

'He is that strong now?'

His expression changed and he smiled instead, confusing the others.

'This young man is very interesting...'
