Chapter 927: Chapter 876-Chapter 877: Life Simulation—Transformation, The Test of the Invitation, Combined Into One Large Chapter_2
This was a probe as well as a qualification screening. Only the martial artists who were truly capable of accepting the invitation and then colliding with Pei Xuanjing’s martial intent, would they be able to know the true contents of the invitation and understand the real purpose behind Pei Xuanjing’s move this time.
As for those martial artists who were incapable of bearing the invitation, it was meaningless. Even if they were informed afterward, their power was insufficient to get involved. Instead, they would become a burden.
“Yes, I understand!” The Guard Captain bowed and withdrew.
He began to dispatch the many guards under his command to deliver the invitations according to a list that had already been prepared, making sure to place these items into the hands of the powerhouses.
After the Guard Captain had left, Pei Xuanjing sat at his desk and started to peruse the documents laid out before him. These were the things his subordinates had collected over the past ten years, including letters passed down from ancient Immortal Path sects and some information about the sporadic records of the Martial Lunatic.
As Pei Xuanjing sifted through these items, he absorbed all the information into his mind. He rearranged and recombined the fragmented pieces and cross-verified the repetitive and contradictory details, carefully linking the secrets hidden within and striving to uncover the truth.
Finally, Pei Xuanjing gathered some truths from these scattered pieces of information, addressing his doubts.
“Is the Lord of Tianwu Pavilion present? By command of my Royal Highness, I am here to deliver an invitation.”
A guard under Pei Xuanjing’s command appeared outside the residence of Tianwu Pavilion. His clear voice echoed within Tianwu Pavilion, and nearly all the martial artists there heard his call.
“Who goes there?”
“How dare you behave so insolently before Tianwu Pavilion!”
“Who is this arrogant fool!”
…
The guard had just spoken when many of Tianwu Pavilion’s martial artists immediately scolded him.
They considered Tianwu Pavilion to be one of the great forces in the rivers and lakes of Dahong, a well-known existence even Between Heaven and Earth. Although they had suffered considerable losses to Star Moon Temple in previous years, they had recovered over this period of rest.
Moreover, they had seized the chance to absorb other forces within the alliance, which not only prevented Tianwu Pavilion from declining but made it more powerful than before, ranking it alongside the leaders of the rivers and lakes of Dahong.
As such a flourishing force, the martial artists of Tianwu Pavilion naturally held their status highly, believing themselves to be a cut above the rest in the rivers and lakes. Now, hearing someone standing outside Tianwu Pavilion adopting such an attitude, how could it not anger them?
However, the guard sent to deliver the invitation had not been chosen for being timid and faint-hearted. Besides having the backing of the Royal Mansion, their own confidence stemmed from their strength.
This time, the guards deployed to dispatch the invitations were at least martial artists at the eleven-floor Realm of the Martial Arts. While such martial artists have not stood at the very pinnacle Between Heaven and Earth, they were among the top echelon of powerhouses.
“Where is the Lord of Tianwu Pavilion? I am on a mission to invite the Lord to honor the ten-year agreement. I wonder if the Lord still remembers?” The guard spoke loudly, his resonant voice echoing both inside and outside Tianwu Pavilion, clearly reaching the ears of every Tianwu Pavilion martial artist.
Originally, those martial artists from Tianwu Pavilion who came out were filled with rage, but once they realized the messenger was a martial artist of the eleven-floor Realm, many of them changed their expressions and looked to a few among them, the decision-makers of Tianwu Pavilion. One of them was a martial artist at the twelve-floor Realm, a powerhouse.
“The Lord is in seclusion. Perhaps you would like to entrust the invitation to me?” the twelve-floor Realm martial artist spoke.
“Hmm?” The guard delivering the invitation slightly furrowed his brow and said, “His Highness’s order is to hand it to anyone who can accept this invitation. Although you are not the Lord of Tianwu Pavilion, you may still attempt it.”
The guard’s calm words angered many martial artists of Tianwu Pavilion. The twelve-floor Realm martial artist’s eyebrows also showed a hint of impatience, but he was aware of the messenger’s standing.
He could offend the guard, but not the person behind him, and he was curious about the banquet, so, suppressing his dissatisfaction, he said, “Let me attempt it then!”
“Good!”
The guard didn’t mind; according to the leader’s instructions, as long as someone from Tianwu Pavilion could catch the invitation, that was sufficient. He had called for the master of Tianwu Pavilion because he considered him the most powerful one. Now, seeing another powerhouse from the Twelve-Floor Tower appear, he had no objection to passing it to this person.
“Please, catch the invitation!”
The guard took out a brocaded box from his bosom and slowly opened it, revealing a gilded invitation inside.
And at the moment the brocaded box was opened, a terrifying aura emerged from nowhere, prevailing in everyone’s hearts, startling them. They looked at the gilded invitation with eyes filled with horror, for the source of this terrifying pressure came from the invitation itself.
Ordinary martial artists might have been fine, but the more powerful the martial artist, the more pressure they felt from this gilded invitation. The formidable Martial Tao Will almost materialized, pricking one’s eyes painfully, feeling like thorns in the back.
“Please take out this invitation!” called the guard.
According to the leader, as long as the recipient could take out the gilded invitation once the brocaded box was opened, it would prove that they were qualified to attend the banquet.
Hiss!
This Martial Artist from the Twelve-Floor Tower looked solemn. He felt somewhat bitter inside, realizing he had been overly confident. But at this juncture, he couldn’t back down; he could only grit his teeth and make a move.
He secretly circulated the true essence within his body, then condensed his Martial Tao Will to try and counteract that terrifying Martial Tao Will.
Pfft!
What he hadn’t anticipated was that the Martial Tao Will would grow stronger in the face of strength. As soon as his Martial Tao Will emerged, the invitation’s Martial Tao Will intensified, amplifying the pressure and, very frighteningly, exceeding his own.
As this Martial Artist from the Twelve-Floor Tower stepped forward, hovering mid-air while reaching for the gilded invitation in the brocaded box, the Martial Tao Will on the invitation burst forth once again at that moment, repelling him and causing him a severe injury.
“This!”

The complexion of this Martial Artist turned grim, his eyes flickering uncertainly as he looked at the brocaded box held by the guard, his heart indescribably conflicted.
Although he had long heard of Your Highness’s immeasurable strength, he didn’t expect that although he had ascended to the Realm of the Twelve-Floor Tower, he couldn’t even withstand the Martial Tao Will on the other party’s invitation. Such a result left him feeling both embarrassed and disheartened.
“Could it be that we just let it be, and allow our Tianwu Pavilion to lose face?” The powerhouse thought to himself as he looked at the many disciples beside him.
Even though he was caught off guard and repelled by the Martial Tao Will just now, this powerhouse didn’t want to retreat, not just for his own pride, but also for the prestige of Tianwu Pavilion. Thus, he decided to forcefully attempt catching the invitation, even if it meant sustaining severe injuries today, for not catching it would become a joke among others and tarnish Tianwu Pavilion’s reputation.
Hmm?
Just as the powerhouse was about to take action, a hand landed on his shoulder to stop him. He turned his head to look at the newcomer and quickly said, “Master, you’ve concluded your retreat!”
The master of Tianwu Pavilion smiled and said, “If I don’t come out, wouldn’t others truly think that Tianwu Pavilion is devoid of capable people?”
He originally didn’t want to come out, even knowing that Your Highness was extraordinary. But even if there was a difference in strength between them, at least they had equal status. There was no need for him to go outside to greet the guard delivering the invitation; it didn’t fit his station.
However, even though he didn’t want to come out, he kept his attention on everything. When the guard opened the brocaded box revealing the gilded invitation, and he felt the Martial Tao Will on it, the Tianwu Pavilion master knew this was no small matter. Just from the Martial Tao Will alone, Your Highness’s power seemed much more terrifying than he had imagined.
When his deputy was about to try catching the invitation, he didn’t stop him because it was a test. Without full knowledge of the situation and absolute certainty, if there was a mishap, it could affect the face of the master himself.
