Chapter 1346 The Challenge of Venerable Hongwu
"Serve tea!"
At Venerable Leng Feng's command, one after another, graceful women carrying tea and snacks entered the winding corridor.
These women were all young and beautiful, and each of them possessed the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage.
In the Canghai Sect, such cultivation would be enough to make one an elder of the sect, but here, one is merely a tea-serving maid.
"Junior Brother Changshou, please have some tea!"
Thank you!
"Come, come, have some tea!"
"Senior Brother Hongwu, I salute you!"
“Good tea!”
"Excellent, excellent, this tea is excellent!"
The group drank tea and chatted idly.
At this moment, no one's mind is on drinking tea.
After a few rounds of tea, Lu Lihe stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Venerable Leng Feng, and said, "Senior Uncle, I would like to spar with Senior Brother Jiang. Please allow me, Senior Uncle."
"hehe!"
Venerable Leng Feng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go."
With a wave of his hand, Venerable Gutai gathered endless white clouds and casually condensed them into a cloud platform.
Jiang Tianyi and Lu Lihe challenged Yuntai and began to spar.
The tea ceremony emphasizes stopping short of defeating the opponent; it's not necessary to win. Even if you win, you'll still save face for your opponent.
The two exchanged blows for a while, finding themselves evenly matched, and the match ended in a draw.
However, Xu Changshou could tell that Jiang Tianyi was stronger than Lu Lihe in terms of strength.
Lu Lihe jumped off the cloud platform, but Jiang Tianyi did not go down. Instead, he looked at Xu Changshou, clasped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I know I am no match for you, but I would like to spar with you and see how big the gap is between us."
"No need, you're no match for me!"
Xu Changshou shook his head slightly and continued drinking his tea.
Jiang Tianyi's challenge was meaningless to him, so he refused it outright.
"This guy actually challenged the Longevity Venerable. Who gave him the confidence?"
"Fortunately, Venerable Longevity doesn't think much of him."
"Isn't the Venerable Longevity being a bit too disrespectful?"
"What do you know? Their strengths are too different. Venerable Longevity wouldn't bother to make a move."
……
Jiang Tianyi was somewhat disappointed. He looked at the group of young people below, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Is there anyone else willing to spar with me?"
"I'll do it!"
Xu Ye took off and flew onto the cloud platform.
"It is him, Venerable Xu Ye, the disciple of Venerable Honglian."
"It is said that he was a fellow disciple of the Venerable Longevity."
Who will win?
"Xu Ye is definitely no match for Senior Brother Jiang."
……
Upon seeing Xu Ye enter the arena, Xu Changshou turned his gaze toward the cloud platform.
The two exchanged blows, engaging in a battle of wits. Clearly, Xu Ye was no match for Jiang Tianyi and was quickly defeated.
Next, the competition continued, with young people such as Su Qingrou, Lin Xueyi, Yang Yanjing, Xiao Changsheng, and Hu Kexian taking turns to compete.
Among these young people, Hu Kexian and Xiao Changsheng are the strongest.
After defeating an opponent, Hu Kexian looked at Xu Changshou, blinked, and said, "Senior Brother Xu, come up and have a go. I'll spar with you for a few rounds."
"Yes, Senior Brother Xu, let's go up and have some fun!"
"Longevity Venerable One, advance!"
"Senior Brother Changshou, it's just a friendly spar, please give me some face."
A group of young people joined in the commotion.
Xu Changshou took a sip of tea, waved his hand and said, "You guys have fun, I won't participate."
The strongest among Hu Kexian and his ilk is only at the late Mahayana stage. When he was at the late Mahayana stage, they were no match for him, and now he has even less interest in accepting their challenges.
Lu Lihe glanced at Xu Changshou and said, "Senior Brother Xu, let's make a deal. In a one-on-one fight, none of us are a match for you. How about this, Senior Brother Jiang, Junior Sister Yuexian, Senior Sister Hu, and I will come together for a friendly spar? What do you say?"
"Forehead……"
Xu Changshou hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, you guys play, I won't participate."
Upon hearing this, the young people's expressions turned rather unpleasant.
That's incredibly disrespectful.
The Venerable Longevity has quite the airs.
Hmph, what an arrogant person.
Venerable Leng Feng glanced at Lu Lihe and said, "You young people's sparring is none of Junior Brother Xu's business. You can have fun on your own."
"All right!"
After Venerable Leng Feng uttered these words, no one dared to challenge Xu Changshou's strength anymore.
However, people are more curious about Xu Changshou's strength.
The young people's sparring continued, and even Xu Xiangzu joined the fray. Xu Changshou discovered that Xu Xiangzu's combat strength was quite good. While he wouldn't say he was invincible among his peers, there were very few young people at the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm who could defeat him.
An hour later, the sparring between the young people ended, and then it was the turn of the older generation of Mahayana cultivators to spar.
call!
An elderly man with gray hair flew up to the cloud platform, clasped his hands in greeting to Hong Wuzun, and said, "Senior Brother Hong, come up and have some fun."
The cultivator who challenged Venerable Hongwu was a veteran cultivator from Jumen Peak, with a Mahayana Great Perfection cultivation level.
Almost all the veteran cultivators present wanted to challenge Venerable Hongwu, because Venerable Hongwu was a top 100 expert on the Mahayana Golden List.
Previously, Venerable Hongwu was ranked ninety-fourth. After so many years, some of the powerful figures on the list have passed away, and Venerable Hongwu is now ranked eighty-eighth.
"Hehe, no problem!"
Venerable Hongwu rose into the air and arrived at the cloud platform.
The duel between the two began.
With just one move, the old man was defeated.
Although they were both cultivators at the Great Perfection stage of Mahayana Buddhism, the difference in their strength was enormous.
"Senior Brother Hong, I'll fight you!"
Another Mahayana cultivator at the Great Perfection ascended to the Cloud Platform.
The sparring continued, and what followed was the moment of glory for Venerable Hongwu, as he was constantly challenged by others.
The older generation of Mahayana cultivators were far more formidable in their sparring than the younger generation, leaving the group of young people dumbfounded by their attacks.
boom!
boom!
boom……
In total, more than ten Mahayana cultivators at the Great Perfection stage challenged Venerable Hongwu, but none of them could withstand even a single move from him.
In the very end, Venerable Hongwu defeated almost all the cultivators at the Great Perfection of Mahayana, without even breaking a sweat.
His power was awe-inspiring, and people finally understood the true value of being among the top 100 on the Mahayana Golden List.
After defeating everyone, Venerable Hongwu did not come down. Standing on the cloud platform, he looked at Xu Changshou and said, "Junior Brother Xu, come up and have some fun. I know I am no match for you, but I just want to spar with you and see the difference between us."
"This..." Xu Changshou hesitated. Although Venerable Hongwu was quite strong, he did not inspire any fighting desire in him.
Venerable Hongwu clasped his hands and said, "Junior Brother Xu, I've risked my old face, you can't refuse to give me face."
"All right!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly, put down his teacup, and slowly stood up.
The group of young people immediately became excited.
"It's about to begin. The Venerable Longevity has finally made his move."
"It's not that he's not going to help; it's just that he looks down on us."
"How many moves do you think Venerable Hongwu could last against Venerable Changshou?"
"I'm so excited! I can finally see the Venerable Longevity make a move."
In an instant, every cultivator present became excited.
