Xianxia: I Built the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; All People Worships Me (Patreon)

Chapter 82: Do You Want to Experience It?

In the Radiant Light Holy Land, in the main hall of the Sect Master.

The Radiant Light Holy Lord stood with his hands behind him, his breath profound and towering, giving people a feeling of looking up at a lofty mountain.

Even when he remained still, he seemed like a demonic peak, making it hard for people to breathe.

Behind him, a young man stood respectfully, his expression solemn.

"My son, have you seen the Heavenly Genius Ranking that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion just released?" The Radiant Light Holy Lord spoke.

"I have already seen it," the Radiant Light Holy son said, and then after a moment of contemplation, he added, "In my opinion, this Genius Ranking is just a way to seek fame and reputation. Feng Nishang, a mere lone cultivator, can also be ranked above our Radiant Light Holy Land?"

"No." The Radiant Light Holy Lord shook his head slightly, saying in a deep voice, "Feng Nishang is not ranked above the Radiant Light Holy Land; she is ranked above you. If you want to remove this title, you need to defeat her with your own hands."

"I understand." The Radiant Light Holy son spoke, "I will send someone to find Feng Nishang's whereabouts. Once found, I will personally kill her to restore the prestige of the Radiant Light Holy Land!"

"Good." The Radiant Light Holy Lord spoke, "It's not just about the prestige of the Radiant Light Holy Land; in the future, there will be more important responsibilities for you to shoulder."

Some matters, the Radiant Light Holy Lord did not say much. The less his son knew, the better for him.

Actually, he was a bit worried.

Having grown up in the Radiant Light Holy Land since childhood, his son had a strong sense of belonging to the sect.

What if he found out about his true identity in the future and couldn't accept it?

Father and son turning against each other?

Just thinking about it made him feel a headache.

"Feng Nishang can rank above you, indicating she has some skills. If you face her, you need to be careful," advised the Radiant Light Holy Lord.

Although he harbored significant grievances against the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he had no doubt about the abilities of the Pavilion Master.

Someone capable of deducing the Heavenly Secret wouldn't fabricate false information to deceive the world.

Being cautious wouldn't hurt.

"Father, you are too cautious. This is just a little trick from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master. Being an enemy of the Radiant Light Holy Land, he will do everything to belittle us," remarked the Radiant Light Holy son with a disdainful expression. "Placing a lone cultivator in front of me is surely intentional on his part."

In the cultivation world, it was widely known that lone cultivators found it challenging to make a name for themselves.

Lacking complete cultivation techniques and with limited resources, some of them resorted to cruel methods.

Over trivial resources, they could become enemies.

Achieving greatness in such circumstances was rare, and even if a lone cultivator became a Saint after thousands of years, they were still an exception.

"Some experts can emerge among lone cultivators," said the Radiant Light Holy Lord, refraining from further explanation.

Some things he understood, but his son might not, given his limited experiences.

More trials would be beneficial.

Feng Nishang could be a decent stepping stone.

Just one rank above his son, she probably wasn't much stronger.

His son had a chance.

If his son defeated Feng Nishang, it would enhance his reputation and mock the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Incorrect ranking—what Heavenly Secret could they deduce?

"Father, before I came, I received some news," the Radiant Light Holy son said softly.

"What news?" inquired the Radiant Light Holy Lord.

"I heard that Jade Virtue Holy Son sent a challenge letter to Ye Chen."

"Do you want to watch it?" The Radiant Light Holy Lord turned around and spoke.

"This might be an opportunity," the Radiant Light Holy son replied confidently.

He knew Ye Chen was strong, backed by an Imperial clan with numerous powerful figures.

However, Jade Virtue Holy Son was no weakling either.

With a history spanning millions of years, the Jade Virtue Holy Land was an ancient sect.

The depth of their heritage and the strength of the Holy Sons they cultivated were unknown.

Though powerful, Jade Virtue Holy Son inexplicably failed to make to the Heavenly Genius Ranking, raising questions not only for him but also for other Holy Sons.

This battle was not just about the face of two influential forces but also about the accuracy of the Heavenly Genius Ranking.

"If the two are evenly matched, then the Heavenly Genius Ranking is unreliable. A person who ranks second should ultimately crush those who are not in the list. Others' strengths can be easily guessed. If Ye Chen cleanly wins, everyone will reconsider the significance of the Heavenly Genius Ranking," explained the Radiant Light Holy son.

"Go and have a look. I will send a high-ranking elder to accompany you," the Radiant Light Holy Lord said with a smile.

"Thank you, Father," the Radiant Light Holy son respectfully replied.
