Hearing this, San Ning Zhenren and the disciples guarding the gate on the ground all changed their expressions slightly.
Dare to pick up the Xuanyuan Divine Stone?
Such things, the Xuanyuan Gate did in the past, but it has stopped for a long time!
How is it that even today, people still come here specifically to challenge?
“Of course I’m serious, I came here especially to challenge it.” Fang Yu said.
<>>
He stared at Fang Yu, then raised his hand to touch the beard on his chin.
“Three Congealing True Person, anyway you guys have opened it before, now let Master Fang try it once, it’s not a big deal, right?” Su Changge beside him spoke.
San Ning’s gaze fell upon Su Changge, and he said in a deep voice: “The past is the past, and the present is the present. The rules of each era are different, and cannot be compared.”
Having said that, he glanced at Fang Yu again and asked, “Why do you suddenly want to challenge for the Xuanyuan Divine Stone?”
Before Fang Yu could speak, Su Changge began, “Here’s the thing… I told Fang-daren about the legend of the Xuanyuan Divine Stone. I said countless powerful figures throughout history could move it without a doubt… Fang-daren thought I was bragging. He believes there is no object in the world that cannot be moved.”
He also said that he could crush mountains with a single punch, let alone a fist-sized stone?
Therefore, to prove that I am not boasting and to let Master Fang be completely convinced, I had no choice but to bring him to the Xuanyuan Sect.
Upon hearing this, San Ning Zhenren looked at Fang Yu and smiled faintly: “What your subordinate said is indeed true. In the long history of our Xuanyuan Sect, countless strong individuals have tried to shake the Xuanyuan Divine Stone, but none have succeeded.”
“The Xuanyuan Divine Stone, from the moment it came into existence, has never moved an inch.”
Fang Yu sneered and said, “Not moved an inch? Then how did it get onto the statue?”
Moreover, if this piece of rock is truly that heavy, how could the statue possibly support it?
“So this is how you, the Xuanyuan Sect, spread your propaganda? All the stories are made up, just to emphasize your long history… Who knows what the truth is? After all, it’s been closed off for so many years.”
Upon hearing these words, the faces of San Ning and the disciples guarding the gate all flickered with displeasure.
Fang Yu’s meaning…is that the emblem of their Xuanyuan Sect, the Xuanyuan Divine Stone, doesn’t exist? It’s just a propaganda tool for the sect?
Such a statement is simply an insult to the Xuanyuan Gate!
And Su Changge, standing nearby, saw the expressions on these people’s faces and secretly applauded.
Truly worthy of being Fang’s esteemed adult, he seamlessly continued the conversation, perfectly employing the strategy of “exhortation by provocation,” leaving this group of Xuanyuan sect members feeling deeply disgruntled.
“I told you before, don’t waste my time, yet you insisted on bringing me here.” Fang Yu turned to look at Su Changge, accusingly. “This Xuanyuan Gate isn’t as amazing as you said… is this really the number one sect? You really haven’t seen the world.”
“… I’m sorry, Lord Fang. But the Xuanyuan Divine Stone truly exists…” Su Changge immediately lowered his head and whispered.
“Are you still persisting? If the legend of the Xuanyuan Divine Stone is true, why don’t they let people try it? Aren’t they afraid of being exposed? You’ve been deceived by rumors.” Fang Yu shook his head and turned to leave.
Su Changge immediately followed up and said loudly, “Fang sir, I really didn’t exaggerate. It’s just that the rules have changed now, and I don’t know…”
“Don’t bullshit me, what I said is the truth. After you go back, you’ll be confined to your quarters for three months.” Fang Yu said coldly.
“Master Fang…” Su Changge cried out in pain.
At this time, the group of Xuanyuan Sect disciples behind them were already furious.
And the three figures of Sanning, floating in mid-air, also wore expressions of anger.
“Hold on.”
San Ning Zhenren stared at Fang Yu’s back and spoke.
Both Fang Yu and Su Changge simultaneously revealed a smile on their faces.
However, when he turned around, all that was on Fang Yu’s face was impatience and disdain.
“What’s wrong again?” Fang Yu asked.
“If the Xuanyuan Divine Stone truly exists and is immovable… would you be willing to apologize to our Xuanyuan Gate, and also to your subordinate?” Sanning Zhenren narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
“Oh? You mean… you’re willing to let me in?” Fang Yu sneered.
“Your Honor, please answer my question first,” said Sanning Zhenren.
“Alright! If the Xuanyuan Divine Stone truly exists and I can’t even budge it, then I’ll apologize to you all and him,” Fang Yu said. “But let me be clear, if I find that you used any spells or identification techniques to make the stone unmovable, then I’ll destroy your entire Xuanyuan Sect!”
Hearing this blunt threat, San Ning Zhenren and the group of Shumen disciples all changed color.
As the number one sect in Beidu, Xuanyuan Sect had never been threatened like this before!
But considering the man’s identity and what he had done recently… it wasn’t so surprising after all.
However, to be so humiliated in front of their own sect’s gate made even the dignified Third Congealing True Person quite displeased.
He snorted coldly and waved his sleeve, saying, “You better think about how to apologize to us first.”
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the Xuanyuan Gate.
“Bring them before the nameless statue!” Sanning Zhenren said coldly.
“Yes!”
All the disciple guarding the gate stood up. The one at the front looked at Fang Yu and said in a stiff tone, “Follow me.”
Fang Yu glanced at Su Changge, both of their eyes twinkling with amusement.
These old men and children who have always lived in the deep mountains and old forests… are really simple-minded and easy to fool.
He immediately took the bait after a bit of psychological manipulation.
However, there is a downside to this.
Su Changge walked while using his divine sense to transmit a voice to Fang Yu, asking: “Fang sir… what if you really can’t pick up the Xuanyuan Divine Stone later… what should we do?”
“Can’t pick it up… Then just slip away. Do I really have to apologize to them?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
“As expected of Fang Da-ren, your decisions are decisive and reasonable. Little brother wants to learn even a sliver, I’m afraid it would take a lifetime of cultivation…” Su Changge said.
……
Under the guidance of the gatekeeper disciple, Fang Yu and Su Changge successfully entered Xuan Yuan Gate.
Before he walked a hundred meters, on the grass ahead, appeared a gray-white statue.
As Su Changge said, the statue is about the same size as a real person.
But… perhaps because it has existed for too long, the statue’s face has been smoothed away, and its features are no longer discernible.
But that’s not the point.
The key point is that his hands were raised to his abdomen, and indeed there was a round, silver-white stone resting on them.
This stone is slightly bigger than a fist.
But from the outside, it just looks like a rock. There’s nothing special about it, and you wouldn’t feel it was very heavy.
“This is the Xuanyuan Divine Stone,” San Ning Zhenren said, still hovering in mid-air.
“It just looks like an ordinary stone… And can you please land before talking? Doesn’t floating in the air get tiring?” Fang Yu said.
Sān Níng Zhēn Ren let out a cold snort, but said nothing.
Fang Yu looked at the Xuanyuan Divine Stone in front of him, squinting slightly, about to reach out and take it.
Hold on.
At this moment, the true person Sanning spoke again.
Fang Yu looked at Sanning Zhenren, his brows furrowed.
Since you’ve agreed to the terms, I need to find some witnesses. San Ning Zhenren said, clapping his hands.
Then his mouth kept moving, but his voice did not reach Fang Yu and Su Changge’s ears.
Soon, a smile appeared on San Ning’s face. He looked at Fang Yu and said, “Please wait a few minutes, the witness will be here soon.”
Over the next five minutes, the open space around the statue was packed with people.
Most of them were disciples wearing uniform blue robes, some, like the True Person Sanning, had white hair and beards.
There are also quite a few middle-aged men.
These individuals all possess powerful cultivation auras.
“This Sanning Zhenren is quite ruthless, I’m afraid I’ll play tricks. She brought the entire sect here, right?” Fang Yu looked at Su Changge and smiled.
“Yeah, he thought this through pretty well,” Su Changge said.
“Should I go or not, it doesn’t matter if there are many people.” Fang Yu said.
San Ning Zhenren looked at Fang Yu, a playful smile appeared on his face, he coughed dryly, and said: “You can begin the challenge now.”
