Old Huang responded with a smile.
But after clinking glasses with Lao Huang, Xu Fengnian's face darkened.
He remembered the fortune-telling that Su Chen had done for him before.
The White-Clad Case in the Capital Years Ago: His mother, Wu Su, was besieged by numerous experts from the Liyang Royal Family, but this was merely the surface.
Behind the scenes, there are also powerful figures at the level of terrestrial immortals secretly vying for power.
With the release of the Li Yang Top Ranking, those hidden terrestrial immortals are likely to reveal themselves.
Perhaps then he will be able to find out who was behind the murder of his mother.
Thinking of this, Xu Fengnian's gaze turned cold, and even the wine in his glass seemed to cool down.
Su Chen listened to the lively discussion below the stage and felt happy.
It seems that the next monthly review will definitely attract countless heroes and bring him even more benefits.
Thinking of the gains from fortune-telling, Su Chen couldn't help but look at Ye Ruoyi, signaling her to proceed to the next step.
But he didn't leave as usual; instead, he wanted to stay and watch the excitement of the battle for the Heavenly Secret Token.
Upon receiving Su Chen's signal, Ye Ruoyi immediately sprang into action, appearing before the white jade platform in a flash. She spoke gently in a sweet and melodious voice:
"That concludes today's monthly analysis of the mysteries of the heavens."
"Next is the battle for the Heavenly Secret Token."
"First, let's decide who owns the Silver Heavenly Secret Token. Which expert is willing to be the first to step up and defend the arena?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the noise in the hall immediately quieted down.
The Battle for the Heavenly Secret Token!
This is a major event that many people are paying attention to.
Especially with the Silver Heavenly Secret Token, as more and more top experts come to the Ascension Pavilion, the challenges are becoming increasingly fierce, and there may even be a duel between terrestrial immortals.
Thinking of this, everyone perked up and looked around, eager to know who would come out on top and win the Silver Heavenly Secret Token.
At this moment, those powerful figures who wanted to compete for the Silver Heavenly Secret Token were also eager to make their move, but they did not rush to do so.
After all, the competition for the Silver Heavenly Secret Token is a contest of defending the title, and unless you have overwhelming strength, it is not a wise move to be the first to step up.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating what was to come, an elderly man with white hair emerged from the fifth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.
"Since no one is willing to step up, then I will defend the title."
As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, he gracefully stepped onto the arena, and a surge of righteous energy erupted from his body.
As everyone looked up, it was as if they saw the sun slowly rising, without a trace of darkness or gloom.
He seemed to be the embodiment of justice and light.
"The light will never be extinguished, and the heavens will endure forever!"
"I come from the Western Mausoleum Temple and was once the High Priest of Light, Wei Guangming!"
Wei Guangming stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the entire audience, revealing his true identity directly.
As soon as Wei Guangming's identity was revealed, the hall erupted in chaos.
Haotian Dao Sect is the oldest Dao Sect in the world, as everyone knows.
Chapter 155 Evaluation
Especially after Su Chen revealed Haotian's existence and proved that he was the only god in the world.
The Haotian Daoist sect, which worships Haotian, has risen rapidly to become the most mysterious and unpredictable superpower in the world today.
The Xiling Divine Palace is a branch of the Haotian Dao Sect established in the Xiling Divine Kingdom, and its close relationship with the Haotian Dao Sect is well known to everyone.
So when everyone learned Wei Guangming's identity, they were all shocked.
The Temple of Light is headed by its chief priest, who is followed by three high priests, with the High Priest of Light holding the highest position.
In other words, Wei Guangming was once the second most important figure in the Xiling Temple, second only to the temple's leader.
Such a prominent figure was renowned in the martial arts world; anyone with a modicum of knowledge in the martial arts circles of various dynasties had heard of his name.
Those with better connections would also know that a momentous event occurred at the Xiling Temple fifteen years ago.
At the time, Wei Guangming, who was the High Priest of Light, violated the temple's taboos and was severely punished by being dismissed from his post.
After that, he disappeared completely.
As for what mistake he made, whether he is alive or dead, no one knows.
Now that Wei Guangming has suddenly appeared at the Ascension Pavilion and wants to compete for the Silver Heavenly Secret Token, who wouldn't be shocked?
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
"What? This person is the High Priest of Light of the Western Mausoleum Temple?"
"This High Priest of Light is the head of the three high priests. It is said that his status is second only to the Temple Master. He is indeed unfathomable."
"I remember that since that incident fifteen years ago, the Xiling Temple has not had a High Priest of Light. People in the martial arts world say that Wei Guangming is dead."
"This is getting interesting. The Xiling Temple is full of experts. As the former High Priest, Wei Guangming must be very powerful. I wonder who can snatch the Silver Heavenly Secret Token from him?"
In the fifth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.
Ye Hongyu's mouth dropped open slightly, not expecting Wei Guangming to reveal his identity so openly.
However, she quickly came to a conclusion.
As the former second-in-command of the temple and the recognized number one expert in the temple, Wei Guangming has many supporters within the temple.
Ye Hongyu was young and had not experienced Wei Guangming's era, but she knew that Wei Guangming was a remarkable person.
The question of what crime Wei Guangming committed fifteen years ago and why he was imprisoned in the secluded pavilion has always been a taboo topic within the temple.
For the past fifteen years, Wei Guangming has stayed quietly in the secluded pavilion. There must be a reason why he suddenly ran out now.
Since he came to the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, his purpose was obvious: to find the Celestial Mystery Immortal.
Neither she nor Wei Guangming had much money, so the Golden Heavenly Secret Token was out of the question. After much deliberation, they could only rely on force to compete for the Silver Heavenly Secret Token.
As for why Wei Guangming took the initiative to reveal his identity, Ye Hongyu thought about it and figured it was probably related to the questions he was going to ask later.
Thinking of this, Ye Hongyu couldn't help but feel nervous, glancing at Wei Guangming on the stage and then at the surrounding private rooms.
Although Wei Guangming's strength was rumored to be incredible in the temple, she had never seen him in person.
There are quite a few ruthless characters in the Dengtian Pavilion now.
Whether Wei Guangming can protect the Silver Heavenly Secret Token is really hard to say.
"Then I shall have a go at you!"
Just as everyone in the hall was discussing this, a loud voice suddenly rang out throughout the room.
The next moment, people saw a figure appear on the high platform, dressed in a black robe with a cold face. It was none other than Dugu Qiubai!
Now, all the heroes present were excited.
Dugu Qiubai was a true immortal on land, ranking fifth on the list of masters in the Song Dynasty.
With him involved, they'll definitely be able to find out just how powerful this self-proclaimed former High Priest of Light, Wei Guangming, really is.
"Dugu Qiubai, please enlighten me."
Dugu Qiubai shouted loudly, and the four swords behind him were simultaneously drawn from their sheaths, hovering in mid-air, their tips pointing directly at Wei Guangming.
Wei Guangming also showed a serious expression, raised his left hand, and said politely, "Please."
No sooner had they finished speaking than the two of them attacked simultaneously.
Dugu Qiubai's sword intent instantly filled the entire arena, as if stirring up a storm of sword energy.
Wei Guangming, on the other hand, appeared very calm. Auras like the morning glow emanated from him, easily dissolving all the sword energy. He looked extremely composed.
This unusual response stunned everyone present, their eyes wide with disbelief.
On the white jade platform, Su Chen was so engrossed in watching that he couldn't help but ask for an explanation:
"As I said before, there are five major cultivation systems in the world today."
"They are Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Demonism, and Martial Arts, each possessing a supreme mystery that transcends the immortality of gods and men..."
"Actually, besides these five, there is another cultivation method whose power is comparable to these five."
"That is the Heavenly Revelation Cultivation Method personally taught by the True God Haotian!"
"This method is based on Taoism, but the development after the Earth Immortal Realm is completely different."
"Because this is unique to the Haotian Dao Sect, I didn't include it in the general cultivation system before."
"What you are seeing now is the true path of divine revelation."
"Although Wei Guangming is not the most outstanding in the Heavenly Revelation Cultivation Method, he has grasped the true essence of 'Heavenly Revelation' the most."
"Only the most devout believers in Haotian can reach this level."
After Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in noise.
These words not only confirmed Wei Guangming's identity but also gave him extremely high praise.
"The person who has best grasped the true meaning of 'divine revelation' in this world"—this evaluation is not given lightly.
After all, the Heavenly Revelation Cultivation Method is on par with Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Demonism, and Martial Arts, belonging to the top-tier cultivation system.
At the same time, everyone finally understood why they thought Wei Guangming's martial arts were so special; it turned out that he practiced the method passed down by Haotian.
The thought that this was a cultivation method personally passed down by Haotian made everyone even more surprised.
This is undoubtedly yet another secret about Haotian.
The Haotian Dao Sect actually possesses the Heavenly Revelation Cultivation Method personally taught by Haotian.
This perfectly aligns with many people's assumptions: the Haotian Daoist sect is definitely not just a sect that promotes the teachings of Haotian.
There must be an unknown connection between Haotian and the Haotian Dao Sect.
Just then, the outcome of the battle was decided.
