The entire audience fell silent.

Why would a young grandmaster invited by the Yangyao Sect know their sect's most treasured martial art?

[“Oh…” Someone suddenly realized, “It must be advertising. Look, even that young grandmaster abandoned his original martial arts to cultivate the Sun Technique. Doesn’t that prove the superiority of the Sun Technique?”]

But you must never allow this erroneous idea to spread.

A member of the Qinghe Gang, disguised as a rogue martial artist, asked with suspicion, "Master Yun, why did you switch to cultivating the Sunburst Technique?"

"This is the Sunburst Technique? No way!" you asked, puzzled. "It's a broken little technique I picked up on the road. I thought it was interesting that it could glow, so I practiced it."

"What a pity, the effect is terrible." You dispersed your power in front of everyone: "It's not as good as my Colorless Supreme Technique. This 'Radiant Technique' is simply a pile of crap!"

The Yangyao Sect master forced a smile and agreed, "It does seem quite a coincidence, rather similar..."

A voice rang out from the crowd: "This method is quite interesting. Master Yun, could you share some insights with us and broaden our horizons?"

"Of course." You're a generous person, and you love answering the inquisitive little martial artist: "First, there's the general outline of this Radiant Light Technique: 'Radiant Sun,'..."

[After only a dozen or so words were uttered, a deafening roar erupted from the side, a voice brimming with boundless rage: "Shut up!"]

The Yangyao Sect master, unable to bear the humiliation, became so angry that his eyes turned red. He realized that the person they had invited was someone to cause trouble!

He swung his staff, but you flicked it away with a finger.

[You look completely innocent: "It's not my fault. I obtained this martial art honestly and fairly. I swear on the path of martial arts that I never acquired it through despicable means."]

You complained, "Why did you attack me? If I weren't a grandmaster, but just a lowly martial artist, wouldn't I be the one being hunted down by you for no reason?"

[You actually know that the main reason you were hunted down in the simulation before last was Zhao Yuan. Because Zhao Yuan had a connection with Bai Jianghe, whom you defeated, you showed him absolutely no mercy.]

[If it were anyone else from the Yangyao Sect, they would probably have just accepted you into their sect, achieving a win-win situation. It was Zhao Yuan, that humiliating bastard, who made things worse.]

[Originally, only martial arts masters would be hunting you down, but one of the pursuers you crippled had a powerful backer, which attracted the attention of a grandmaster (Chapter 51)]

The gazes of the Yangyao Sect members were as if they wanted to devour you. They desperately wanted the Supreme Elder—that Grandmaster who had only made a move nearly twenty years ago—to deal with you, but they knew they couldn't persuade him.

[Grandmaster of Yangyao Sect: "Is this trivial matter disturbing my connection with the heavens? Let him learn it, so what?"]

The "Sect's Treasured Martial Arts" is not a top-secret document like the one revealing the truth of 1999; it's more of a symbol of prestige.

[In other words: Everyone, listen up, this martial art belongs to us, you are forbidden from practicing it.]

[In fact, many sects have some understanding of the signature martial arts of other sects, and even know how they are practiced, but there is no need to spread them, just like a patent.]

[You've used this method to humiliate the Yangyao Sect, and the grandmaster who stepped forward was repelled with a single finger, so the rest can only... forgive you.]

"That's it then." You shrug and leave.

The Yangyao Sect's "Young Talent Competition" ended in discord.

In the year 277 of the Daqing era, a Grandmaster of the Daoist sect approached you. Upon hearing that you had a mysterious master, he was greatly disappointed. Later, he challenged you to a martial arts contest.

With just a little guidance from you, this grandmaster became willing to become your disciple.

"I have also become a martial arts master."

[Your seniority has risen significantly, and you have become the Grand Master Uncle of the Daoist Sect.]

[In the year 278 of the Daqing era, the Qinghe Gang's power gradually grew. With the snake blood resources you subtly provided, Song Xiaohu grew into a martial arts master, and you decided to appoint him as the gang leader.]

[In the 279th year of the Great Glory, you gained a group of half-disciples who were Grandmasters. They respectfully called you Half-Master Yun. In this world, Grandmasters are all those who relentlessly pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. Some of what you said is the Great Dao to them!]

The "Way" of "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"

[In the 281st year of Daqing, you feel you are getting closer and closer to becoming a Primordial Being, and you believe you have a chance to truly mobilize vital energy within thirty years.]

[In the 282nd year of Daqing, you were blocked at your door; it was Zhu Baowen.]

"Strange..." Zhu Baowen tentatively reached out to you, and you felt the air around you freeze. You struggled, but couldn't move.

Zhu Baowen then dissipated the frozen air, indicating he meant no harm. He looked surprised and said, "Whose holy son from a great clan or lineage has descended to the mortal realm? But this... shouldn't be happening."

Which major sect would send a human prodigy with a sacred body to the lower realms?!

[Experience the full spectrum of human life? This is martial arts, not cultivation!]

"Let you gain experience in a small place? Bullshit! All these years you've either been wasting your time or trying to understand the world. How can that be called experience?"

You cough lightly and say, "Senior, is it possible that I am from this world?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Baowen didn't believe it. This was just a remote, lower-level world, where almost no living beings knew of the existence of the concept of "outside the world."

[It's somewhat possible for a naturally born holy body to appear in such a world, but the fact that you used the term "this world" means you know about the existence of multiple worlds!]

"Because I have a master from the upper realm."

"That can't escape my eyes, unless—"

"He said he was supreme."
