Chapter 437

He could not help sighing inwardly:

The master truly is the master.

Such heaven-defying talent — one could scour the four seas and eight wastelands, the nine heavens and ten lands, and still scarcely find another to match him!

At the very beginning.

He himself was at the seventh level of the Sun Wheel realm.

Yet the master was merely at the first level of the Star Wheel realm.

But now?

He had shockingly reached the first level of the Sun Wheel realm!

In just a few short months, he had leapt across two great realms!

Such a pace of progress was truly terrifying to hear of!

One must know that ordinary cultivators, the higher the realm they cultivate to, the slower their cultivation speed becomes!

A being like the master, whose cultivation speed grows ever faster, almost defies common reason — truly unimaginable!

For a moment, Jiang Xiao could not help lowering his head, a wave of shame welling up within him!

Had it not been for the opportunity bestowed upon him by the master some time ago.

Relying solely on his own aptitude.

Whether he could break through even a single minor realm to reach the eighth level of the Sun Wheel realm by now was still uncertain.

Compared with the master's progress, advancing a thousand li in a single day, his own was simply as slow as a snail.

The two simply had no comparability whatsoever!

At the same time.

Tiger Strength tilted his head, a hint of confusion flickering in his eyes.

As a Sun Wheel realm spirit beast, his perception of the surrounding aura was naturally not weak.

Thus he too had detected the anomaly on the scene.

This aura seemed to be only... Sun Wheel realm?

Tiger Strength found it somewhat hard to believe this result.

Originally, based on Lord Bai's performance.

He had already guessed that the white-robed man before him was that utterly mysterious master.

He had not expected, however, that the other party was not a Primordial Spirit realm expert.

But had merely just broken through to the Sun Wheel realm.

His cultivation base was not even as strong as his own third brother's!

With such a weak cultivation base, how could he possibly become Lord Bai's master?

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Just as Tiger Strength was deeply perplexed.

Jiang Xiao swiftly gathered his thoughts.

Then he no longer concealed himself.

Under the astonished gazes of Tiger Strength and Zhao Hu.

He dropped to his knees with a thump and bowed, saying: "Xiao Bai, greets the master!"

The moment these words left his mouth, it was as if the heavens had split!

Zhao Hu's eyes flew wide, and he was so startled that his whole body gave a shudder!

He had never in his wildest dreams imagined.

That Senior Bai, whose aura surged like a tidal wave and who possessed the cultivation base of a Myriad Manifestations realm, would actually honor Clan Leader Jiang as his master!

Originally, in his own expectations.

Senior Bai was probably some reclusive ancestor of the Jiang clan.

He had never thought that the other party was merely a subordinate of Clan Leader Jiang.

For a moment, Zhao Hu could not help feeling a creeping dread upon reflection.

To be able to subdue Senior Bai, a Myriad Manifestations True Lord, as a subordinate.

Just how terrifying must Clan Leader Jiang's true strength be?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu suddenly became aware of a question he had subconsciously overlooked!

Namely, that from beginning to end, he had never truly understood the other party's strength!

Everything he knew came from hearsay.

The only time he had seen the other party act was the one-strike killing of Sima Nan.

Seen in this light, it was he himself who had been blinded by a single leaf.

Clan Leader Jiang's true strength was by no means as simple as the rumors claimed — far beyond anyone's imagination!

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu was struck with sudden dread.

Immediately after, he hurriedly dropped to his knees as well and said respectfully: "Your subordinate Zhao Hu, pays respects to the Clan Leader!"

At the same time.

On the other side.

After witnessing Jiang Xiao's actions.

Tiger Strength finally confirmed the identity of the white-robed man before him — he was indeed Lord Bai's master!

He was instinctively startled at first, then plunged into enormous confusion.

With merely the cultivation base of the first level of the Sun Wheel realm, how could that possibly be?!

Could it be... that the other party isn't as simple as they appear on the surface?

Thinking of this, Huli hurriedly began to sense again.

The moment it sensed, it was no small matter.

Once it sensed, it actually did detect something fishy!

"Besides the original Sun Wheel realm aura, there seems to remain a wisp of extremely faint aura, one not easy for a tiger to detect..."

"Wait, this wisp of aura is somewhat off!!!"

Huli's vertical pupils shrank sharply, and an intensely visible, strong fear instantly surfaced on its face!

At the same time, its tiger body shuddered, scared out of all its strength.

Its four limbs collapsed to the ground, unable to get up no matter what!

It was not that its courage was not strong enough.

Only because the essence of this wisp of aura was truly too terrifying!

Looking over its entire life, it had never experienced such a horrifying feeling!

Even the feeling Lord Bai gave it—

—became feeble and weak before this aura, like clouds and mud, utterly incomparable!

Just how powerful had this wisp of aura become?

Wanxiang? Primordial Spirit? Or Heaven-Man?!

At this moment, Huli only felt its heart and liver both tremble, its divine soul shivering unceasingly!

It helplessly discovered—

—that even having used up all the knowledge and experience of this lifetime, it still could not fathom the depth of this wisp of aura!

"As expected... as Lord Bai's master, the cultivation base realm absolutely cannot be just Sun Wheel realm, so simple!"

"That wisp of Sun Wheel aura from earlier was probably just to fool people's eyes, right?"

"Its true cultivation base must surely be far beyond this — this is merely the tip of the iceberg!"
