Chapter 2151 - Pei Si Hai
Chapter 2151: Pei Si Hai
Pei Si Hai was a legendary figure in Sin City and the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Rumor had it that Pei Si Hai had not even exceeded a hundred years old. However, he was an elite powerhouse in the Dao Martial Saint Land. His cultivation base was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and he was ranked 7th on the Supreme Saint Ranking!
In fact, many sectless cultivators believed that Pei Si Hai had the best innate talent in the Dao Martial Saint Land. They believed him to be a genius who appeared once in a thousand years!
Although no one knew what color Pei Si Hai’s Innate Spiritual Root was, many of them were convinced he possessed a violet Innate Spiritual Root!
Only a violet Innate Spiritual Root would allow Pei Si Hai to break through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in less than a hundred years. He was the number one prodigy in the Dao Martial Saint Land in the eyes of many sectless cultivators!
The reason Pei Si Hai was acknowledged as the number one prodigy on Dao Martial Saint Land only by sectless cultivators and not by everyone in the Dao Martial Saint Land was due to the reason he kept a very low profile so not many people knew about him.
Prior to today, the only time Pei Si Hai appeared in public was four years ago when he killed the powerhouse who was formerly ranked seventh on the Supreme Saint Ranking! Before that, no one had heard about Pei Si Hai.
It seemed as though Pei Si Hai had appeared out of nowhere at that time and killed the powerhouse who was formerly ranked seventh on the Supreme Saint Ranking in within a thousand moves. Although it was a narrow victory, he still successfully killed his opponent and took over his spot on the Supreme Saint Ranking! At that time, the battle had shocked many people on the Dao Martial Saint Land! The words he had said after he killed his opponent shocked the people even more.
After Pei Si Hai said, “My master is Nie Wu Tian!” He disappeared from the public’s eyes. From then on, he did not appear again until today. This could be considered as his second public appearance.
The commotion Pei Si Hai’s words caused in the Dao Martial Saint Land was not less than the commotion he caused when word spread about him killing the powerhouse who was formerly ranked seventh on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
Nie Wu Tian! Who was that? He was someone with almost God-like status in the Dao Martial Saint Land in the past hundred years.
Nie Wu Tian was a sectless cultivator. He was the number one powerhouse in the Dao Martial Saint Land in this generation. Accordingly, his cultivation base was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was widely acknowledged as the person who ranked first on the Supreme Saint Ranking!
A hundred years ago, ever since Nie Wu Tian rose to fame in the Dao Martial Saint Land, there were a lot of people who wanted to challenge him. Among these people were people from the three strongest sects.
Thirty years ago, Nie Wu Tian was able to move mountains and create rivers and injured the Great Oracle of the Heaven Divination Sect when he was trying to pass the Heavenly Tribulation. Since then, nobody dared to challenge him nor his status.
Ever since then, he had occupied the first place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. No one could threaten his position. However, it was also at this time that he had disappeared.
Some people said he had passed the Heavenly Tribulation and had ascended to another realm. Some said he was hiding in Sin City as he focused on his cultivation while waiting for his Heavenly Tribulation. Others said he roamed the Dao Martial Saint Land, enjoying a carefree life. Regardless of what was said, he was still first on the Supreme Saint Ranking!
Naturally, if a hundred years passed without any news from Nie Wu Tian, he would be removed from his position from the Supreme Saint Ranking! That was the rule of the Supreme Saint Ranking.
It could be said that Nie Wu Tian had become a legendary figure in this era. Ordinary people looked up to him, and for the most part, he had become only a story since he had not been seen for a long time.
“My master is Nie Wu Tian!”
Four years ago, Pei Si Hai’s statement shocked everyone in the Dao Martial Saint Land to the core. This was because no one knew the strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land, Nie Wu Tian, had a disciple.
Moreover, as soon as Pei Si Hai appeared, he had killed the person who was formerly ranked seventh on the Supreme Saint Ranking and took over his place!
After that, rumors flew about saying Nie Wu Tian was still in the Dao Martial Saint Land and that he had not ascended. He had been mentoring his disciple, Pei Si Hai, all this time.
As for the truth, only Nie Tian Wu and his disciple, Pei Si Hai, knew it.
Regardless, since then, people on the Dao Martial Saint Land knew of Pei Si Hai’s existence. They knew him as the disciple of the strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land, Nie Tian Wu, and that Pei Si Hai was a prodigy.
Later on, rumors began to circulate among the sectless cultivators about Pei Si Hai being under a hundred years old. The sectless cultivators, naturally, believed the rumor. After all, Nie Wu Tian was the pride of sectless cultivators. In their opinion, Nie Wu Tian was like a god. It was not surprising that he had a disciple under a hundred years old who had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
However, the major forces of Dao Martial Saint Land, the three great sects, refused to believe Pei Si Hai was under a hundred years old. Naturally, they acknowledged his strength since he was able to get the seventh place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. However, by doing so, they had indirectly denied that Pei Si Hai was a prodigy!
Naturally, there were reasons for the major forces to say this.
First, Pei Si Hai did not come out and prove he was less than a hundred years old. Second, they did not want the world to think that a sectless cultivator was better than those from the sect. Moreover, they did not want another Nie Wu Tian in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
“Lord Pei Si Hai? He’s Lord Pei Si Hai?!” Upon hearing the elderly sectless cultivator’s words, the other sectless cultivators regained their senses. An expression of excitement could be seen on their faces.
Many sectless cultivators even began to tremble in excitement!
“It’s indeed Lord Pei Si Hai! I was lucky enough to have seen a portrait of Lord Pei Si Hai. I just failed to recognize him due to my excitement.”
“I have seen him too. However, Lord Pei Si Hai seems even more handsome in real life… Did he come because of the treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial?”
“If he did, he’s too late.”
Many sectless cultivators began to discuss among themselves. All of them began to guess the reason for Pei Si Hai’s appearance.
“Pei Si Hai?” Meanwhile, the Violet Dragon King, one of the Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas, also looked at Pei Si Hai. Based on the look in her eyes, a hint of dread could be seen as though she had just met her foe.
She firmly believed in the Supreme Saint Ranking! She merely ranked tenth on the Supreme Saint Ranking when Pei Si Hai was ranked seventh. In other words, Pei Si Hai was stronger than her even though both of them were at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Faced with Pei Si Hai, she was, naturally, quite guarded.
While everyone, including the Black Kshetra Sect’s Violet Dragon King, was looking at Pei Si Hai, he glanced around before asked in an indifferent tone, “Has anyone of you seen Meng Hao?”
“Lord Meng Hao?”
“I didn’t see him!”
“Lord Pei Si Hai knows Lord Meng Hao? Lord Meng Hao is actually one of the patrons of Sin City!”
The sectless cultivators looked at each other in surprise as they exclaimed.
“Where’s the entrance to that treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial?” When Pei Si Hai spoke again, he sounded even colder. He emitted a coldness that made people feel as though they were standing in the harsh winter wind.
“Lord Pei Si Hai!” At this time, an elder from the Seven Kill Alliance stepped fomard. He bowed respectfuHy before he pointed at a space nearby and said, “The entrance to the treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial is there. However, it closed not too long ago.”
Hu!
As soon as that Seven Kill Alliance elder finished his sentence, Pei Si Hai disappeared from where he stood under everyone’s watchful eyes. When he reappeared, he was already standing at the void where the Seven Kill Alliance’s elder had pointed at.
Pei Si Hai’s eyes were closed as he hovered in the air. It was as though he was trying to sense something.
“He’s so fast!”
Pei Si Hai was so fast that the Violet Dragon King was the only one present who caught a trace of his movement. Even she was surprised by his speed.
He’s looking for the space barrier in between the treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial and the Upper Province?’
After seeing Pei Si Hai closing his eyes, the Violet Dragon King could sense the Divine Consciousness surging out from his body. She instantly guessed his intention because she was about to do the same.
After a few moments later, the sharp cry of blade rang in the air.
Weng!
A huge and dazzling blade appeared, blinding the Violet Dragon King’s eyes and mind. ‘He found it so quickly?!’
Before the others could react, the blade in Pei Si Hai’s hand had already been sheathed.
In the next moment, at the void near Pei Si Hai, a terrifying crack appeared. It was more than ten meters long and it was pitch black inside. What lurked behind was unknown.
Sou!
Following that, Pei Si Hai seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning as he flew into the crack and disappeared before everyone’s eyes.
This scent chills running up everyone’s spines.
Pei Si Hai managed to create an opening in the space barrier with just a strike of his blade and enter the treasure vault that was suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial?
