C276 I Refuse to Admit Defeat!(1)

"Profound Iron Number One Token!"

This term might not be familiar to outsiders, but for members of the Profound Heaven Sect like Helian Bozhong and Fu Chuan, it's all too well-known. They each have a similar Profound Iron token, differing only in number.

"Impossible! The Profound Iron Number One Token doesn't exist!" Helian Bozhong immediately retorted.

"Doesn't exist? Are you sure about that? Or is it just that you couldn't get it?"

"Wait... could it be true? Legend has it... the Profound Iron Number One Token is in the ninth level of the Mirror of Inquiry. Zhengyang, did you actually reach the ninth level?" Fu Chuan stepped forward, examining the token in Woo Zhengyang's hand with disbelief.

Woo Zhengyang nodded, about to speak, when Helian Bozhong interrupted, "Dream on! Everyone knows he only passed the first level of the Mirror of Inquiry, holding token number 9,999, the lowest-ranked among the outer disciples at the time."

"Number 9,999? The lowest-ranked disciple? Do you really believe that? It's obviously a deliberate setup."

With Fu Chuan's words, Helian Bozhong was left speechless. He had spoken out of urgency and regretted it immediately.

Woo Zhengyang had indeed been the 9,999th outer disciple, yet he soon defeated Liu Tianli, the seventh-ranked outer disciple, and dismissed the significance of the seventh token, which was quite suspicious in itself.

Based on this analysis, it seems likely that Woo Zhengyang really does have the Profound Iron Number One Token. Because he possesses the Number One Token, he might have chosen to use a different token to avoid drawing attention, which explains why he doesn't care much about the Number Seven Token from the outer sect...

"This... this can't be... The Profound Iron Number One Token hasn't been seen since the founding of the Profound Heaven Sect. How could it be in his hands?"

"Legend has it that the Profound Iron Number One Token has always been in the Mirror of Inquiry, but it hasn't appeared because no one has reached the Ninth Heaven of the Mirror!"

"Do you really think he can reach the Ninth Heaven?"

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't believe it. But with Mr. Zhengyang showing the token, I absolutely believe it's true!"

Fu Chuan and Helian Bozhong continued their heated debate, leaving Woo Zhengyang unable to get a word in.

"The emergence of the Profound Iron Number One Token is a great fortune for our Profound Heaven Sect!" A distinct voice suddenly came from the side, and before Woo Zhengyang knew it, the token was snatched from his hand.

"Master!" Upon hearing the voice, Fu Chuan forgot his argument with Helian Bozhong and exclaimed with delight.

The newcomer was none other than the current Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect, Nie Fengyu.

"Sect Master!" Even those like Helian Hanhai, who often clashed with Nie Fengyu, couldn't afford to be disrespectful in front of so many people and promptly paid their respects.

Nie Fengyu waved his hand without looking up, engrossed in studying the Profound Iron Number One Token. After examining it several times, he finally looked up at Woo Zhengyang and asked, "Hey, did you really make it to the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Mirror? Tell me, what's it like there?"

"It's a stone chamber. Besides this token, there's also a manifestation of our sect's founder, Xuan Tianshang," Woo Zhengyang replied honestly.

"The founder! You actually saw the founder's manifestation? Did he say anything to you?"

"He told me to give the current Sect Master a good beating..."

"Why on earth!" Nie Fengyu exclaimed, completely dropping any pretense of being a dignified Sect Master.

Seeing this, Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but recall Xuan Tianshang's quirky demeanor. It seemed like this was just the fate of the Profound Heaven Sect!

"The founder said our sect should be called the Profound Heaven Clan and instructed me to beat the current Sect Master and change the name back."

"You didn't agree to that, did you?" Nie Fengyu glared.

Woo Zhengyang was speechless for a moment. Was there really a need to be so tense? Even if he had agreed, it wasn't like he would immediately act on it. Besides, if he did, he wouldn't need the elders to intervene; he'd be kicked out of the Profound Heaven Sect on his own.

"I agreed to the second condition!"

"The second condition? The Profound Heaven Sect? Haha... well, you truly are a madman, always have been!" Nie Fengyu laughed heartily.

"Such arrogance!" the Elder scoffed from the side.

Though only the Elder voiced it, many shared the sentiment. Not just Yue Jiuxiao and Zhou Lianshan, but even the onlooking practitioners from various countries likely felt the same way.

The Profound Heaven Sect!

What does that signify?

The Heavenly Martial Sect is renowned because it has a Martial King expert at the Essence Shaking Stage. To be called a sect, it requires someone at an even higher level.

Higher than the Essence Shaking Stage is the legendary Void Transformation Stage, the Martial Sovereign!

From Martial Disciple, to Martial Master, to Grandmaster, to Essence Shaking King, and finally to Void Transformation Sovereign!

Back then, Woo Zhengyang had just begun to harness his Origin Genuine Qi. Even now, as he steps into the Martial Master Stage, he is still a long way from becoming a Martial Sovereign.
