"But Ke Haoran didn't take such a person seriously at all, and even pointed his finger at the teacher and cursed him to his face."
0·············
"Because in Ke Haoran's view, no one in this world is qualified to be his teacher, not even the Master."
"But Master Ke was not angry. Instead, he came up with a plan to have Ke Haoran take on the role of disciple, and the two addressed each other as fellow disciples."
"Thus, Ke Haoran became the junior master of the academy, and the only person in the academy who was of the same generation as the master."
"But Ke Haoran's strangeness doesn't stop there."
"He had a very bad temper, didn't learn any Confucian cultivation, and often drank and cursed people."
"There was even a time when I argued with my teacher for three days and three nights over a bowl of beef noodles."
"As for cultivation, he was too lazy to learn it and did whatever he liked."
"But Ke Haoran is Ke Haoran, and his talent is enough to allow him to do whatever he wants."
“He had never received any martial arts training, but after five years in the academy, he started from scratch and directly entered the terrestrial celestial realm.”
"What's even more amazing is that Ke Haoran, who has the cultivation level of a terrestrial celestial being, only has mastered one unique skill."
"That is the 'Righteous Sword Qi' that he created himself."
"He was able to sweep across the world and be invincible with just this one unique skill."
Chapter 73 Breaking the rules
There is a kind of amazing talent in this world called 'being proficient in all methods'.
"A person with this talent can integrate any cultivation method, even those with completely opposite philosophies, regardless of what they practice."
"The most famous of them is Lu Dongxuan, the Lu Ancestor of the Jianghu in Liyang."
"Because of his talent of being 'proficient in all methods,' Lu Zu was able to cultivate Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism simultaneously, and to cultivate each of them to a perfect state, achieving a perfect fusion."
"Ke Haoran's talent is even greater than that of 'Master of All Methods'."
"He is one who understands one method and understands all methods."
"It means that as long as he is proficient in one skill, he can use all other skills without having to learn them."
"This is why Ke Haoran can be invincible in the world with only a Qinggang sword and only one 'Haoran Sword Qi' technique."
"His cultivation has now reached the perfection of the Celestial Longevity Realm."
"If Lu Zu's flawless Celestial Longevity Realm is the limit that can be reached within the Celestial Longevity Realm."
"Ke Haoran's Celestial Longevity Realm is an existence that transcends this limit."
"That's what makes Ke Haoran so extraordinary."
"He can break all rules and all limits."
"His true strength has already surpassed the realm of the Celestial Great Longevity Realm!"
The main hall of Dengtian Pavilion was completely silent.
Everyone stood there like puppets, but their hearts were already churning with turbulent emotions.
Ke Haoran's ranking at the top of the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal List is enough to prove his formidable strength.
But no one expected him to be this powerful.
When Su Chen evaluated Ke Haoran before, many people wondered why he was not subject to any restrictions in the terrestrial Celestial Realm.
Now they finally understand that it's not that the rules set by Haotian have become invalid, but rather that these rules don't apply to Ke Haoran.
Although many people had already guessed this possibility, it still sent chills down their spines after they actually understood it.
This is not a family rule, nor a dynasty decree, but a world rule established by the true god Haotian.
Ke Haoran actually disregarded even such a rule.
What's even more unacceptable is that Ke Haoran's cultivation has absolutely no bottlenecks!
This was an unacceptable fact for all the martial arts practitioners present.
They knew perfectly well how painful and unbearable it was to be stuck at a certain level.
Some people practice asceticism for decades without making any progress; the suffering they endure can drive them almost insane.
Moreover, this kind of torment is something everyone will encounter, regardless of whether you have talent or not, or what your background is.
Even outstanding figures like Wuming, Mu Yingxiong, and Li Chungang faced numerous difficulties when they reached the Celestial Realm on the terrestrial level.
But Su Chen is now telling them that Ke Haoran has never experienced that kind of headache-inducing pain?
Now everyone truly understands what it means to feel envious, jealous, and seething with hatred.
Upon hearing Su Chen's next words, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
Ke Haoran, this guy, never received any martial arts instruction, yet he reached the Land Celestial Realm in just five years, and even reached the kind of "one thing leads to everything" level.
Such talent for cultivation is something I've never even dreamed of, let alone seen before.
He's an absolute genius!
At that moment, everyone mentally labeled Ke Haoran with this tag.
The geniuses I'd heard of before, while all incredibly talented, at least followed some patterns that made them understandable.
But Ke Haoran is completely outrageous, going to extremes and breaking all the rules.
He doesn't need a teacher, a sect to pass on his knowledge, or any enlightenment about the world. With just himself and his sword, he is invincible and can develop all sorts of unique skills.
Who in this world could be more outrageous than him?
Such a genius can only be described as "monstrous".
But what's most surprising is Ke Haoran's true abilities.
His cultivation level had reached the highest realm of the Celestial Longevity Realm, but his actual combat power had already surpassed that realm!
Without a doubt, he is the strongest among all the known masters.
Even the legendary figure Lü Dongxuan had to step aside at this point.
This is not to say that Lü Zu was incompetent.
In fact, Lu Zu had already reached the pinnacle that ordinary practitioners could achieve.
But then he encountered Ke Haoran, an unreasonable man with superhuman strength.
Everyone can imagine how much of a shock this news will cause to the major dynasties and the martial arts world.
It's unclear who was the first to react, but the hall erupted in chaos as a group of martial arts practitioners began discussing amongst themselves:
"This Ke Haoran is truly a man of strong character; he even dares to point his finger at and curse a transcendent figure like Confucius."
"There's no way around it. Ke Haoran's talent is too extraordinary. Even the teacher can only swallow his anger and coax him into the academy."
"Facts have proven that Master's judgment was correct. The Tang Academy has definitely struck gold. Ke Haoran's strength is not only unmatched in swordsmanship, but I think he is already invincible in the world."
"The most crucial point is that Ke Haoran reached this level in less than forty years, which is simply outrageous. With such high talent, he can do whatever he wants."
"There are very few geniuses like Ke Haoran in the world. Even the Celestial Immortal said that his talent is hard to find in thousands of years of history."
"My God! Did I hear that right? Ke Haoran's cultivation level is on par with Lu Zu at his peak, and his combat power is even stronger?"
"Lu Zu's defeat this time was not unjust. Ke Haoran is too abnormal. He doesn't even care about the rules set by Haotian. Who can compare to him?"
"I never expected that when the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking is listed, the Tang Dynasty Academy would be the most prestigious, with its entire force occupying the position of a Land Sword Immortal."
"I think Jun Mo can be ignored. Ke Haoran alone is enough to make the Tang Academy stand above all other sects."
In the second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor.
Sword Emperor Jiu was so shocked his jaw almost dropped, and he stammered, "What? Ke Haoran's strength is actually below the Celestial Great Longevity Realm?"
Li Chungang was just as surprised as Jian Jiuhuang.
He was the only person who had personally witnessed Lü Zu at his peak.
That was a flawless Celestial-level Great Longevity Realm, many times stronger than an ordinary Celestial-level Great Longevity Realm cultivator...
Otherwise, Li Chungang wouldn't have been heartbroken and broken his sword after just one glance.
Li Chungang was not surprised by the Celestial Longevity Technique, but by Lu Zu's Celestial Longevity Technique.
Because Lu Zu's ultimate immortality was so perfect that he couldn't even imagine it, and felt that it was impossible to surpass.
At that time, Li Chungang felt that Lu Zu had reached the ultimate in Tao, and no one could compare to him.
But Su Chen's evaluation has completely overturned his thoughts.
Even Lu Zu, who had reached a state of perfection, was still outshone by Ke Haoran.
"Only today have I come to understand that the Tao has no end!"
Li Chungang sighed deeply, his state of mind improving considerably.
In the first private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.
Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed in horror, "Beyond the Great Longevity of the Celestials? Ke Haoran's strength has actually reached this level?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she looked at Wu Zetian and said, "Your Majesty, there has been no news of Ke Haoran all these years. Could it be that... he has been guarding one of the five extreme realms and fighting against those extraterrestrial demons all these years?"
Ke Haoran's strength truly frightened her.
In her eyes, the Celestial Longevity Realm is the limit of martial arts, and Ke Haoran has already broken through this limit.
After much thought, she concluded that perhaps only extraterrestrial demons could be his match.
Furthermore, given her previous suspicion that the second floor of the academy might be one of the five ultimate realms of Confucianism in the world, this guess became even more reasonable.
If that were the case, it would be terrifying.
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is a spatial node connecting to demons from another world.
Once this news gets out, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an will probably be terrified.
Wu Zetian was well aware of the implications of this situation and could no longer restrain herself, so she strode out of the private room.
The beaded curtain blocking her view seemed to be twisted and deformed by a powerful force, automatically spreading out to both sides.
