"But...didn't you ever consider that this opportunity might not be a gift from heaven and earth...but rather the result of the prayers of the masses and the petitions of all living beings?"
The middle-aged man chuckled, as if he were making a casual remark.
But when these words were spread, they still moved everyone present.
"Perhaps."
Su Bai said calmly, "But right now, all I want is to be myself."
"I, stripped of these fabricated identities, am just like you all, simply a pure sword cultivator."
"What a fine pure swordsman!" the middle-aged man shouted. "Well said! Putting aside these fabricated identities, who among us is not a pure swordsman?"
"Young Master Su Bai, you're absolutely right," Chu Xiaoxiao said softly.
"Willing to give up... such an opportunity, just for the sake of being a pure swordsman... You are truly the number one swordsman in history!"
Xia Yuan also stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.
"You flatter me." Su Bai shook his head.
"No, you should have been a ninth-order True Saint, why... have you fallen so low?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.
His words left Chu Xiaoxiao and the other person stunned in place.
"In the lower realms, the power of laws is scarce, yet it's possible to produce... a ninth-tier True Saint?"
After a long while, Xia Yuan finally spoke with an incredulous expression.
"The world is full of extraordinary talents... in all shapes and sizes. Let alone a ninth-order True Saint, it is not impossible for him to become a powerful immortal who has shaken the past and present."
"Furthermore, young friend Su Bai... being able to obtain this opportunity to become the supreme human emperor, he himself is naturally an incomparably monstrous talent. Becoming a ninth-level true saint would certainly not be a difficult task for him."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Senior knows me so well, could you perhaps be someone from the lower realm?"
Su Bai looked at the middle-aged man, who was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"Humanity's ancestral planet is no simple place. You will understand in the future."
"Moreover... you look a lot like one of my benefactors. I suspect that you and he have a deep connection, so I couldn't help but inquire about it."
The middle-aged man smiled and picked up his wine glass. "I can't remember my name anymore. People in the Second Heaven Realm call me the Drunkard. You can call me the Drunkard too."
Su Bai clinked glasses with him. "Whether you're called a drunkard or have a name, it doesn't matter. All I need to do is remember you as a senior."
After saying that, Su Bai drank it all in one gulp.
Beside them, Chu Xiaoxiao and Xia Yuan, who had just raised their glasses, also silently finished their drinks.
"I didn't expect you to say that, but you've come here for that sword, haven't you?"
"However... I did not sense the aura of that sword on you."
The drunkard put down his empty glass, and Chu Xiaoxiao immediately got up and refilled it for him.
"I promised her, and I will not go back on my word."
Su Bai said calmly.
The drunkard nodded and said nothing more.
The shop was quiet, and the four of them looked at each other in silence, just drinking their wine in silence.
Just then, the void cracked open, and a group of ten True Saints at the fifth level, dressed in the robes of the Celestial Palace, emerged from it.
"The sinner Su Bai deserves to die!"
The words fell.
Dozens of laws descended in succession, suppressing the area where the four people were located.
Chu Xiaoxiao and Xia Yuan were immediately shaken by the immense pressure, their faces turning pale and their bodies trembling.
