The White Jade Academy fell silent again as all eyes turned towards the distant grand hall.
"Those who co to White Jade, so ask about martial arts, so about the Sword Dao. You've seen it before, but rely reaching here is not enough if you wish to ask about the way of White Jade."
The voice echoed from afar once more, ethereal and as if from beyond the heavens.
"Then how should one ask?" Li Fan glanced upwards.
"To ask about the way of White Jade, you naturally need to ascend to the highest point of White Jade. If you can reach here, I will respond to you, the way of White Jade."
Li Fan looked ahead toward the main hall of White Jade. There was a staircase, flanked by ancient towers, seemingly guarding the Divine Hall.
Li Fan knew his own limits; if asking about the way of White Jade required defeating all cultivators there, he certainly couldn't do it.
This, the foremost academy under the heavens, does not lack Seventh Realm Great Cultivators. How could he ascend?
"I'm just at the early stage of the Sixth Realm. The senior is putting in a tough spot. White Jade Academy is full of powerful figures, including Seventh Realm Great Cultivators. If they make a move, how can I proceed?" Li Fan said, "If that's the case, then consider it the arrogance of a junior."
"White Jade Academy would not bully you. Even if soone of higher realm intervenes, they will be suppressed to your equivalent realm," the voice continued, causing a glint to appear in Li Fan's eyes. As he looked at the distant staircase, a thread of battle intent emanated from him.
"In that case, I shall try to inquire about the way of White Jade," Li Fan said, then walked toward that direction. Liu Qingwu watched him pass by, a peculiar look in her beautiful eyes as he went back along the path.
As the voice had said, over the years, those who inquired about the way of White Jade asked about martial arts or the Sword Dao, and there had been Seventh Realm Great Cultivators too.
But surely they would all fail here.
Of course, to reach here and inquire about the way of White Jade is already a matter of honor for cultivators worldwide. Truly succeeding in 'asking the way,' however, is an impossible feat.
Ultimately, they all et defeat.
Though Li Fan's combat power is exceptional, enough to crush and defeat the Saint Heir of Tiandu Palace and Shen Jing of Lingxiao Pavilion, astonishing her and others, to truly ask about the pinnacle of White Jade is another matter. How could it be possible?
To her, such a feat should be accomplished by soone from the Imperial Palace or soone like Jiang Taie, those renowned figures standing upon the clouds — they will be the future of the Great Li Cultivation World.
Only they have the true privilege to ask about the way of White Jade.
Evidently, in their eyes, Li Fan is still not enough.
As Li Fan passed by, the gazes of many talents followed his body, Shen Jing sitting far away on the ground, staring darkly at Li Fan's back.
Qi Zhanyun looked at Li Fan in astonishnt, thinking what a spirit; even in failure, there is pride.
Even though he hasn't inquired the way yet, even if Li Fan descends White Jade at this mont, he would be famous throughout the world.
Challenging White Jade, even in failure, would leave his na in the Great Li Cultivation World.
The question now is, how many will Li Fan defeat?
Only Lu Yuan showed a hint of excitent in her eyes, believing Li Fan would succeed.
Moreover, only she understood the significance of this inquiry.
This is not just a simple inquiry.
This is the inheritor of the Li Mountain Sword Dao asking the way of White Jade.
This inquiry is of unparalleled significance. When people of the future learn of Li Fan's identity,
this inquiry will beco a topic of interest throughout the world.
Lu Yuan's heart was stirred at this mont.
The expectation shone in her bright, clear eyes like a full moon.
This battle will also be the battle that truly marks Li Fan's na in the world.
As Li Fan proceeded, the disciples of White Jade Academy even yielded a path, watching him walk step by step toward the distant square's staircase's edge.
In the air around them, the cultivators of White Jade Academy watched Li Fan's figure with great interest. In this era, few possess such daring.
It's just, they hope not to be too disappointed, otherwise, it would beco a joke, for Li Fan's inquiry differs from others.
Finally, Li Fan arrived at the foot of the stairs. There was no array here. Glancing up, he beheld grand palatial complexes on either side, and in front, the ancient hall towering into the clouds like the Heavenly Palace, exuding an overwhelming pressure stronger than the stairs outside White Jade Academy.
At this mont, a figure appeared over Li Fan's head, floating from above and landing on the stairs above. It was Qin Baiyu, whom Li Fan had seen before, the one who defeated Qi Zhanyun.
Qin Baiyu, of the initial stage of the Sixth Realm True Realm, gifted, with strong combat capabilities, previously crushed Qi Zhanyun.
Perhaps because Li Fan cultivated martial arts, he was the first to appear.
"Even soone as strong as Qin Baiyu is just the first battle." Ye Yunke looked over there and said in a low voice, "Sir, how many rounds do you think he can overco?"
Li Fan is strong, Ye Yunke is very interested in him, but attempting to reach the pinnacle of White Jade is a difficult thing to see; it's virtually impossible to achieve.
Even soone as strong as Qin Baiyu is rely the first checkpoint.
Should Li Fan defeat him, would the second round bring out Guan Shanyue?
They had naturally seen how strong Guan Shanyue's Sword is.
"Three rounds, that's the limit." Prince Puyang beside him looked towards that side and said.
"Getting through three rounds would make him among the best in the world." Ye Yunke agreed with Prince Puyang. If Li Fan got through three rounds, at least defeating Guan Shanyue.
Guan Shanyue's talent is already near the elite level, if he could defeat and continue upward, which would imply Li Fan's talent was already the foremost in the Great Li Cultivation World.
"Qin Baiyu of White Jade Academy, pleased to et you." Qin Baiyu's voice rang from above Li Fan.
The crowd looked at Li Fan, curious about his identity.
"Lu Qingqiu, pleased to et you." Li Fan responded, causing so disappointnt among the crowd, still just a na, without revealing his background.
To this mont, they still had no idea which force in the Great Li produced such an arrogant prodigy.
In the distant grand hall, invisible intents emanated, making White Jade Academy appear to have an invisible barrier, guarding the palaces around it. The surface of tiered stairs glistened as if forming an array, cutting off outer combat.
Otherwise, Sixth Realm battles would flatten this land.
Then, Qin Baiyu's will moved, and a destructive aura spread out. Behind him, the imnse and majestic purple Divine General stood with thunder surrounding, turning the surrounding world doomsday-like, with purple celestial bodies orbiting like stars, becoming anomalies.
Under this true martial intent pressure, Li Fan appeared incredibly small below the stairs.
The sight inside evoked waves in everyone's hearts; the Sixth Realm martial talent Qin Baiyu was only the first ordeal.
Li Fan seed miniscule standing under this true realm; destructive purple godly thunder and those purple celestial stars transford into suppressive ons, killing him.
This martial true intent oppression made Li Fan seem exceptionally small at this mont.
The crowd was awestruck by the terrifying scene, feeling waves of emotion as they saw Qin Baiyu and Li Fan's battle, a fulfillnt of their fantasy of a pinnacle martial arts practitioners' duel, their combat prowess far exceeding his.
Qin Baiyu looked down, having rged whole with the purple Divine General's body, raising a hand downwards, violet divine light bursting from the heavens, and Li Fan, appearing to stand small in the field of the opponent's true intent, faced the destructive purple divine thunder and those myriad purple stars, impacting down.
The onlookers praised this strike of Qin Baiyu; Qin Baiyu cultivated the Purple Extre Heaven-shaking Technique, a martial arts thod of extre dominance, aggressive technique unmatched in power.
This Lu Qingqiu's martial arts were also extrely strong, but whether they could withstand it, no one knew.
Yet at this mont, wearing his resplendent robe, Li Fan appeared infinitely small under the pressure of Qin Baiyu's martial art intent emanating from the heavens' heights; his body shrouded in true dragon's power, dragon roars echoing through the void.
A colossal golden claw erged, tearing through emptiness with arching fury, crashing into the purple vision.
"What a powerful martial presence," ca an admiring voice from amidst the audience, as they witnessed the clash between Li Fan and Qin Baiyu, fulfilling their illusions about the summit of martial disciplines, with their abilities far surpassing his own.
Now, facing an overwhelming strike, Li Fan's golden realm exploded, with the majesty of dragons thundering through heaven and earth, golden claws tearing at the void, crashing into the realm of purple true intent, shaking the ground, the shockwave dissipating at the threshold of the stair.
Li Fan stood adorned in a magnificent robe, his fra almost dwarfed by the steps' invisible fluctuations as they radiated outward, neutralized at the distant hall's far end.
