Li Hanyi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."
The four of them went to the seventeenth floor together.
At this moment, on the seventeenth floor of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, Su Chen was already sitting in the hall, leisurely sipping tea.
Upon the arrival of the four, Sikong Changfeng first bowed and said:
"I have met Mr. Su."
"These two are Yaoyue, the Grand Master of Yihua Palace, and Lianxing, the Second Master, who have come from afar from the Jianghu of the Ming Dynasty."
"They heard that Mr. Su was proficient in divination and esoteric arts, so they came here specifically to ask for a divination."
"I hope Mr. Su will forgive me for bringing them here without permission."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen looked at Yao Yue and Lian Xing. Although he could not see their faces, he was very excited.
His month of hard work finally paid off, as he caught two big fish!
But as a reclusive master, one must still maintain one's demeanor.
Su Chen said calmly, "All things in heaven and earth are equal. As long as the time is right, everyone can come. There is no need to worry. It's just that I only perform a divination every seven days, without exception."
Yaoyue quickly stepped forward and said, "We sisters will definitely abide by the rules of the Celestial Immortal. We only came here today to see you."
As she spoke, Yaoyue carefully examined Su Chen, her heart pounding faster than usual.
This man is even more handsome than Jiang Lang back then!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Yaoyue would never have believed that such a handsome person existed in the world; he was simply like a god descended to earth.
However, Su Chen's youthful and handsome appearance deepened her doubts.
This image was far removed from the celestial being she had imagined.
Just then, Li Hanyi stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Su, what I want to calculate today is the number one swordsman in the world."
"Swordsmanship is prevalent in this world, with millions of swordsmen. I wonder where my swordsmanship ranks?"
Sikong Changfeng remained calm, as if he had expected Li Hanyi to ask this question.
Although she was a woman, her competitive spirit was even stronger than his.
However, the world is vast, and no one can travel to every corner, not to mention that there are many hidden masters who remain unknown to the world.
In the martial arts world, Li Hanyi's swordsmanship is widely recognized as having reached its peak, making her one of the top swordsmen in the world.
But where it will ultimately rank, only the heavens can know.
Yaoyue and Lianxing's eyes lit up after hearing this.
They were also quite interested in Li Hanyi's questions.
Every proud and arrogant master wants to know their ranking among the world's top figures.
In Yaoyue's opinion, Li Hanyi's strength should be comparable to her own, both being at the pinnacle of martial arts.
There may be people in the world stronger than her, but there certainly aren't many.
Su Chen didn't say much, but pointed directly to the chair in front of him and said, "This is a divination for the heart; one must examine the very bones of the heart."
Li Hanyi was prepared and obediently sat down.
Yaoyue and Lianxing exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised, not expecting this to be the method of divination.
Looking at Li Hanyi, the two couldn't help but think about their own situation, and their hearts began to ache.
"The fortune telling for Li Hanyi was successful."
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the top-grade martial art 'Zhouliu Liuxu Gong'."
Upon hearing the system notification, Su Chen removed his hands from Li Hanyi's chest and back.
No one noticed the excitement he was feeling at that moment.
The Six Void Flow Technique!
This is definitely one of the top martial arts techniques in the world of wuxia, almost approaching the level of immortal arts.
The so-called "flowing through the six voids" is based on eight forces in nature—heaven, earth, mountain, marsh, wind, thunder, water, and fire—and combined with the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes.
If one masters this skill, one can easily control these eight powers, and with every move one makes, one can summon wind and rain. Even ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to attain such power.
Most importantly, as far as Su Chen knew, this world had not merged with the worlds of the Kunlun series.
This means that he is the only one in the world who has mastered this divine skill, and no one else.
This time they made a killing!
"Mr. Su, what was the result?"
Li Hanyi noticed a subtle change in Su Chen's expression and couldn't help but ask a question.
Su Chen then came to his senses and calmly said:
"I have already calculated the celestial secrets of tomorrow."
"There are eight million swordsmen in the world, but only a dozen or so can defeat you."
To rank among the top thirty out of eight million swordsmen is an extremely remarkable achievement.
But for those present, it was like a blow to the head.
Li Hanyi is not even ranked among the top 30 swordsmen in the world.
You must know that she is none other than Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal!
For nearly two decades, Bei Li has been recognized as the number one genius in the martial arts world, a standout among the younger generation, and even considered one of the top masters in the martial arts world.
How could such a sword immortal not even rank in the top thirty?
At this moment, the worldviews of Yaoyue, Lianxing, Sikong Changfeng, and Li Hanyi all began to crumble.
Su Chen sensed the somewhat oppressive atmosphere and continued:
"Snow Moon Sword Immortal, there is no need to be sad."
"There are indeed people whose swordsmanship is better than yours, but most of them are seniors who are much older than you."
"Among your peers, your swordsmanship is already top-notch."
"Especially female swordsmen, perhaps only the Empress of the Great Tang Illusionary Sound Pavilion and Fan Qinghui of the Great Sui Cihang Jingzhai can be compared to you."
"Moreover, Fan Qinghui is about ten years older than you, and her comprehension of the Cihang Sword Manual has reached a bottleneck."
"You just haven't caught up with her yet; it's only a matter of time."
At this point, Su Chen seemed to have thought of something and sighed softly.
Hearing this, everyone relaxed a little.
There are indeed many reclusive seniors in the martial arts world, and with these people included, they reluctantly accepted Li Hanyi's ranking.
Su Chen's words, in particular, indirectly affirmed Li Hanyi's talent.
She is still young, and she may very well surpass those older masters in the future.
Li Hanyi, who was closest to Su Chen, noticed his sigh and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Su, why are you sighing?"
Su Chen didn't hide anything and asked directly, "Have you ever heard of the name Wu Su?"
Li Hanyi thought for a moment and replied, "Is Mr. Su referring to Wu Su, the late Princess of Beiliang of the Liyang Dynasty?"
Sikong Changfeng, Yaoyue, and Lianxing immediately realized what was happening.
Swordsmanship is extremely prosperous in this world, giving rise to many famous sword holy sites, such as the Sword Sect of the Great Han, the Sword Heart Tomb of Beili, and the Wu Family Sword Tomb of Liyang.
Li Hanyi's mother was the previous generation's successor of Kenshinzuka, and her swordsmanship was also based on Kenshinzuka.
The reputation of the Wu family's sword tomb in Liyang is in no way inferior to that of the Li family.
Princess Wu Su was the sword crown of the Wu family sword tomb twenty years ago, and also the youngest sword crown in history.
In addition, she was exceptionally beautiful, and from the moment she was born, she attracted much attention from all walks of life in the martial arts world.
She did not disappoint. As soon as she left the Sword Tomb, she wielded the Dragon Sparrow Sword and defeated various sword masters, earning her the reputation of being the number one swordswoman in the world and the head of all female sword immortals.
Back then, she married Xu Xiao, who was known as the "human butcher," which caused quite a stir in the martial arts world.
However, Wu Su has been gone for twenty years.
If Su Han hadn't brought it up, none of them would have remembered this once-famous female swordswoman.
Su Chen said with deep emotion, "Speaking of talent, Princess Wu Su of Beiliang is truly outstanding."
"When she left, she was about the same age as the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, but her skills were far superior."
"At her peak, she was just one step away from truly becoming a sword immortal!"
Although Wu Su is very famous, none of the people present had ever seen her in person and had no idea how amazing she really was.
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the group couldn't help but gasp.
When Wu Su was about the same age as Li Hanyi, she was actually much more capable than Li Hanyi.
Chapter 4 The True and False Sword Immortals
Li Hanyi is already an outstanding person among her peers, so how frightening must Wu Su's talent be?
Only then did they understand why Su Chen sighed.
If Wu Su's swordsmanship talent were alive today, she would definitely be a master among masters of swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, fate is cruel to those with great talent.
Li Hanyi asked astutely, "Mr. Su just said that when Wu Su was at her most powerful, she had one foot in the door of a true sword immortal. May I ask what the true realm of a sword immortal is?"
Yaoyue and Sikong Changfeng also showed curiosity upon hearing this.
This was the first time they had ever heard of such a statement.
Are there real and fake sword immortals?
Su Chen slowly sipped his tea, looked at everyone, and said gently:
