Qi Yuan shook his head. "You're not an old man, so you don't qualify as my white moonlight. But if you can produce a Heaven-tier cultivation method, I might play with you."

Heaven-tier methods were rare. Even a Yin Spirit usually had only one, and it was often low-grade. Even after emptying Heavenly Ascension Pavilion, Qi Yuan hadn't found a high-grade Heaven-tier method.

"Heaven-tier? That's simple." Shen Wushen casually produced a jade slip as easily as pulling out a radish. "I obtained this by chance."

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up. "Let me have a look."

Due to differing world rules, he couldn’t use other worlds' methods to perfect the Qi Yuan Scripture. Shen Wushen clearly wasn't from Canglan World.

Shen Wushen tossed the jade slip over.

The Nascent Souls' breathing grew even heavier. Most cultivated Jade-tier methods. Even an occasional low-grade Profound-tier could cause bloodshed in Great Shang. And now there was a Heaven-tier method!

Qi Yuan was astonished. "Hmm? I can use this."

Even though the method wasn’t native to the Canglan World, it could be adapted into the Qi Yuan Scripture!

Qi Yuan asked, mind racing, "Do you have many like this?"

If Shen Wushen's world had many such methods, should he just conquer it and borrow them all?

"There's many." Shen Wushen's battle intent surged. "Do you want them?"

Qi Yuan nodded, though he sensed something off. "Yes."

"If you can hurt me, I'll give you five!"

Qi Yuan's heart stirred. Five Heaven-tier methods! This guy was rich. No wonder his left eye had been twitching all morning.

His eyes gleamed. "Then what if I defeat you?"

"If you defeat me, all the methods on me, even my primary Divine Method, can be yours!"

Qi Yuan grew excited. "Divine Method?"

He hadn't even seen a high-grade Heaven-tier yet!

Qi Yuan said enthusiastically, "I won't take advantage of you. If you defeat me, I'll upgrade your Divine Method for free!"

He didn't like taking advantage of others. If he won, he got rewards. If Shen Wushen won, he should too.

Jiang Lingsu was speechless. She muttered under her breath, "Senior Brother, how is that free?! You're clearly eyeing his Divine Method!"

Still, she shouted, "Senior Brother, good luck! And be careful!"

Qi Yuan replied politely, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

Shen Zhifeng sneered. "Soon, you'll understand true power!"

Most Nascent Souls agreed. Shen Wushen's victory seemed certain.

Jiang Lingsu couldn't bear it. She told Jiang Ran, "Let's cheer for Senior Brother!"

After all, today was his Nascent Soul Gathering. It shouldn't feel lonely. Thus, the two of them became a cheering squad.

Qi Yuan stared at Shen Wushen calmly. "I'll let you strike first. Otherwise, you won't have the chance."

Being a wealthy patron, he had to show kindness to his benefactors.

Shen Zhifeng snapped. "How arrogant!"

The others thought the same, but dared not speak. As if watching immortals fight, all they could do was stand as far away as possible.

"Come. Let me see how much of my strength you can force out!"

Shen Wushen unleashed an even greater aura than before. His power was almost double what he showed in the previous match. His immense attack rained down on Qi Yuan.

However, Qi Yuan remained rooted to the spot. It seemed that he did not manage to react in time.

The other Nascent Souls thought, It's over.

Withered Tree rushed forward to protect Qi Yuan, but it was too late. The attack struck Qi Yuan directly.

Soon, everyone was surprised. Not a single hair of Qi Yuan was damaged!

He said lazily, "Haven’t fought such a weak Nascent Soul in a while."

Shock spread through the crowd. That strike could’ve killed any of them, yet Qi Yuan barely registered it!

"You're strong!" Shen Wushen grew even more excited. "Once I defeat you, my Nascent Soul path will be completed, and I can reach Violet Palace! I've struck gold!"

Qi Yuan smiled lightly. "I suggest you reach Violet Palace before even thinking of defeating me."

Then, he gently blew toward Shen Wushen.

Shen Wushen's expression shifted dramatically. As a powerful wind swept forward, he looked horrified, as if staring into the heart of a storm. Qi Yuan’s casual breath felt stronger than an Origin Divine Technique!

"God-Slaying Severance Art!" Shen Wushen roared, unleashing his ultimate strike, capable of killing Violet Palace.

However, he was like an ant roaring at a tornado, completely powerless.

All the Nascent Souls were stunned.

"This kind of method..."

"It's not even a divine technique, how can this be?"

"Qi Yuan is still only a Nascent Soul, though?!"

"Great Shang's sky is about to change!"

Shen Zhifeng turned pale. "Impossible!"

Jiang Lingsu froze, then beamed with a faint trace of loss, waving her arms. "Senior Brother is mighty!"

The Nascent Souls' gazes had completely changed.

Shen Wushen lowered his head, dazed. "I lost... I lost..."

He couldn't understand. Why couldn't he even withstand a breath?!

He looked up. "We're both Nascent Souls. How are you so strong?"

Qi Yuan smirked. "Because your Nascent Souls are too few."
