Chapter 174

This was none other than Wuyun Xian, the leader of the Seven Attendant Immortals.

The Seven Attendant Immortals—by the very meaning of their name—are the Jie Sect disciples who accompany Lord Tongtian, or one might say they serve as his guardians.

Their status is unique, and even more importantly, their strength is no ordinary matter.

Far stronger than most Jie Sect disciples.

After all, the Seven Attendant Immortals, as the term literally suggests, are the living beings who accompany Lord Tongtian.

Therefore, the ones Lord Tongtian selects must at least possess a certain level of strength.

This is unlike direct disciples, who must inherit his Great Dao.

The Seven Attendant Immortals are merely his public face.

As a public face, they naturally must possess a certain level of strength.

When Lord Tongtian first chose the Seven Attendant Immortals, countless Primordial World beings fought desperately for the position.

Though the Seven Attendant Immortals could never compare to the Jie Sect's direct disciples, they held a special position closest to the Saint.

They could hear the Saint's sermons and teachings.

For many Primordial World beings with no hope—or with ambition—this was a rare opportunity.

After all, if one wished to become a Saint's disciple, one's strength could not be too great; this had been established long ago.

Too much strength meant one could no longer receive the Saint's inherited Great Dao.

Because one's own cultivation path had already imprinted ancient methods too deeply, making them nearly impossible to correct.

Such beings could never become a Saint's disciple.

Thus, the Seven Attendant Immortals were a superb opportunity, and many Primordial World beings came to Mount Kunlun at the time.

In the end, Lord Tongtian selected seven from among the countless beings.

Wuyun Xian was the strongest among them.

His bloodline was no ordinary one; his own strength, even on Mount Kunlun, ranked among the very top.

Though he lacked the Quasi-Saint Realm, Wuyun Xian possessed the power of a Great Luo Jinxian.

During the time before the Saint's direct disciples had grown strong.

A Great Luo Jinxian was then the true apex strength on Mount Kunlun.

Aside from the three Saints and the Quasi-Saint, Daoist Randeng, who had forcibly become Chanjiaofu Sect's deputy head, Great Luo Jinxian was the most powerful.

Wuyun Xian belonged to this class of Great Luo Jinxian.

One could say that, so long as he did not provoke the three Saints or Daoist Randeng, Wuyun Xian was among the absolute top tier.

This was why no Jie Sect disciple dared approach Wuyun Xian casually.

He was, in effect, a Jie Sect elder; who would dare intrude upon him except the Saint's direct disciples?

"Luo Fu's bodily cultivation has indeed reached the level of Dao attainment, but this is not all the power he possesses," Wuyun Xian said gravely, his eyes gleaming.

In the Combat World, the aura Luo Fu emitted, Wuyun Xian could faintly sense something of it.

The power of bodily Dao attainment was not all Luo Fu possessed; there was another terrifying force within him, restrained and unexerted.

This was what Wuyun Xian, as a Great Luo Jinxian, perceived.

Further details, if Luo Fu did not reveal them, Wuyun Xian could not probe any deeper.

After all, he could not invest his spiritual energy into Luo Fu.

Not to mention anything else—Luo Fu, as a Jie Sect direct disciple, held a higher status than Wuyun Xian himself.

Wuyun Xian held a certain respect for this younger brother.

In the future.

In Wuyun Xian's view, this direct disciple's future prospects were not merely that of a Great Luo Jinxian—he had great potential to reach the Quasi-Saint Realm.

This was Wuyun Xian's inner thought.

You should know that the quasi-saint realm, in the current era of the Wu-Lich contest, can be considered a truly top-tier powerhouse.

Even the Wu and Lich races would treat them with caution.

Of course, that's all there is to it.

Although a quasi-saint is a top-tier powerhouse in the Primordial World, to the Wu and Lich races, a quasi-saint is nothing special.

These two top forces of the Primordial World actually have many quasi-saint powerhouses within them.

Therefore, even other quasi-saint powerhouses in the Primordial World would not lightly provoke the Wu and Lich races.

A quasi-saint powerhouse certainly does not wish to experience being besieged by many quasi-saints.

Only beings like the Three Pure Ones, who are saints, would not be lightly provoked even by the Wu and Lich races.

Although the people of the Primordial World do not yet know exactly how terrifying the saints truly are, it is a foregone conclusion that these saints are far beyond quasi-saint powerhouses.

This is also the reason why the Wu and Lich races do not provoke them.

Later, during the great decisive battle between the Wu and Lich, perhaps the world will finally learn how terrifying those legendary saints of the Primordial Realm truly are.

Compared with quasi-saints, they are entirely two different kinds of life, two different realms entirely.

Wuyun Immortal would not think about these things; he simply believed that Luofu reaching the quasi-saint realm was already an astonishing feat.

Among the countless beings of the Primordial World, those who can become quasi-saint powerhouses may seem rather numerous.

But that is premised on how many beings have failed along the way.

It took nearly countless beings to barely produce this handful.

Therefore, Wuyun Immortal's assessment of Luofu's strength already shows that he holds Luofu in very high regard.

Even for those personally taught by saints, becoming a Da Luo Golden Immortal is certainly not a problem.

But becoming a quasi-saint powerhouse is not a realm that every saint's personal disciple can necessarily reach.

"Luo Fu's younger brother is hiding even greater power," said Jin Ling, astonished.

"Could it be that Brother's strength has reached the Taiyi Jin Xian realm?" Wu Dang Shengmu asked.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know by watching further," Daoist Duobao shook his head.

Daoist Duobao had already overestimated Luo Fu's strength.

But from just now, when Luo Fu punched Blasting Guang Chengzi into the air, he had not overestimated at all—he had underestimated.

On the other side, the Yijichan Sect.

Originally, the Yijichan Sect's direct disciples, upon seeing Blasting Guang Chengzi blasted away by Luo Fu's punch, were all stunned speechless.

What on earth was going on?

Had they all seen a hallucination?

Their own senior brother, Blasting Guang Chengzi, the foremost of the Twelve Golden Immortals, had been knocked back by Luo Fu, a direct disciple of the Jie Sect.

Even if Luo Fu had previously defeated Huang Long, Daoist Cihang, Chi Jingzi, and others among the Twelve Golden Immortals, they still could not have imagined him standing against Blasting Guang Chengzi.

Blasting Guang Chengzi's strength, among all direct disciples, ranked among the very top.

Yet this very powerful figure had just performed in a way utterly beyond expectation.

"Brother Cihang, did I see wrong?" Chi Jingzi exclaimed in shock. "Senior Brother Guang Chengzi was pushed back by Luo Fu's punch!"

"This…," Daoist Cihang replied dumbly, "Brother, I saw the same thing—Senior Brother Guang Chengzi was pushed back by Luo Fu. Am I not hallucinating?"

Yes.

By now, Daoist Cihang himself wondered whether he had seen things, or suffered a hallucination.

After all, what they had just witnessed was utterly unimaginable.

The other Twelve Golden Immortals and Yijichan Sect disciples, hearing the exchange between Chi Jingzi and Daoist Cihang,

At that moment, understood one fact.

What they had seen—Luo Fu pushing back Blasting Guang Chengzi—was real, unfolding before their very eyes.

"Is this truly Brother Luo Fu's real power?" Wenshu drew in a sharp breath. "We all saw how Brother Luo Fu had only just broken through to Jin Xian not long ago."

"More importantly, Brother Luo Fu's physical body has been refined to such an terrifying degree," Yu Ding True Person sighed. "His bodily strength, even among the Holy Ones' disciples, makes him unquestionably the first."

"Senior Brother Nanji, can Senior Brother Guang Chengzi defeat Brother Luo Fu?" Pu Xian True Person asked.

Originally, the Yijichan Sect had full confidence in their senior brother—but now, their confidence was gone, replaced by doubt.

One could only say that Luo Fu's punch had just shaken them awake.

It had fully awakened the overconfident direct disciples of the Yijichan Sect.

Luo Fu was not weak, as they had imagined—he was immensely powerful.

"Huang Long, did you feel the same just now?" An old man with a cane, white-haired and ruddy-faced, spoke slowly.

This old man was Nanji Xianweng.

Though Nanji Xianweng looked aged, in truth, he had been born only slightly earlier than the Twelve Golden Immortals.
