Chapter 641 - 419: Sage and Title (Part 2)
"It was I who destroyed them, but it was no easy feat."
Wang Zhifan immediately looked at the monk and replied calmly.
He was speaking the truth. To eliminate these two Demon Venerables, he had to use the Epic Layer weapon, Blade of Time, and the two skills Dream Transformation Grand Thousand and Life Like a Dream, consuming more than half of his own power. It was definitely not an easy kill.
However, his statement sounded like intentional boasting to others, but it was the kind of boasting no one would resent.
Because in this world, eliminating demons is the greatest righteousness, and eliminating a Demon Venerable is righteousness among righteousness, capable of being recorded in the annals of the human race’s accomplishments.
After all, how many Demon Venerables are there in the entire Demon Realm? Less than a thousand! This number is negligible compared to the tens of billions of demons!
Therefore, eliminating a Demon Venerable can be considered a great contribution to humans, enhancing the power balance between humans and demons by a significant margin.
"To single-handedly eliminate two Demon Venerables! You are truly a natural talent! Who would have thought such an extraordinary person would appear in the Dao Realm! May I ask what your title is?"
Amidst the astonished expressions of the three monks, the nearby Qingfeng was also filled with shock, warmly asking for Wang Zhifan’s name.
This seems to be a tradition in the Calamity Realm; every notable expert tends to give themselves a resounding name.
For example, Wang Zhifan had encountered a Buddhist Sect Innate Realm expert named Venerable Longshan, a civilian Innate Realm martial arts expert named Spear Saint Extreme, and Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber is probably also a title, as her name wouldn’t just be Long Dao.
In short, how powerful one’s abilities are is one thing, but the title must be memorable and easily remembered by others.
"I have no specific name, but my Dao title is Fanyun."
Wang Zhifan responded directly, planning to skip the troublesome step of creating a nickname and simply use his Dao title as a form of Dao identity.
However, much to his dismay, although he didn’t care about such matters, Qingfeng was unwilling to let it go and, upon hearing that he had no nickname, thought of helping him come up with one on the spot.
"Fanyun Daoist, with such profound cultivation, how can you not have a title? This is making things difficult for us scholars who write! If you don’t mind, let me, this lay scholar, suggest a few, and you can choose any!"
After Qingfeng finished speaking, he shook his head in contemplation and, within seconds, came up with a few titles that rendered Wang Zhifan speechless, making him realize that not all scholars are good at naming.
"You are from the Dao Sect and have slain two Demon Venerables, how about ’Dual Demon Guardian’? No, that’s not quite right... You are proficient in martial arts and adept at wielding a long saber, so how about ’Dao Wu Blade Emperor’..."
He excitedly concocted several so-called titles, which only made Wang Zhifan feel awkward and had no practical significance, prompting Wang Zhifan to cough a couple of times and overlook him to observe the peculiar illusions in the nearby area.
It must be mentioned that in the Dream Realm created by Dream Transformation Grand Thousand, Wang Zhifan can perceive the general situation of the outside world, unlike the enemy trapped inside, who is isolated and loses contact with the outside world. Otherwise, Dream Transformation Grand Thousand would have a significant flaw.
"Is the Dragon Girl trapped in a technique similar to my Dream Transformation Grand Thousand, but far more complex?"
After observing the intricate illusions ahead for a few moments, Wang Zhifan realized that the situation for Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber was dire. It’s hard to say if she could escape, and even if he wanted to save her, there was no feasible way to start.
The reason is that this illusion is too complex, with a multilayered and multifaceted structure, making it easy to get lost once inside. Besides, he vaguely sensed the extraordinary nature of the illusion, leading him to abandon the rescue idea.
After all, this opponent was chosen by Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber herself, and he, as her helper, had fulfilled all his responsibilities, not letting the other two Demon Venerables interfere with her, and even killed the enemies outright.
If the Dragon Girl falls here, it can only be said to be regrettable, as she overestimated her power and chose the wrong opponent.
"Are you worried about your friend Mieyue? The virtuous have their blessings, and the sage will arrive soon, solving everything easily."
Seeing Wang Zhifan ignore the obsessed Qingfeng and gaze at the ever-changing illusions, the three monks from the Buddhist Sect slowly approached him, offering a few words of comfort.
This shows that the Buddhist Sect does not have a negative view of the Dao Sect, and they are not opposed to witnessing the emergence of a great Daoist expert. Instead, they wish to befriend Wang Zhifan and expand their valuable connections with distinguished experts.
After all, who made Wang Zhifan’s performance so outstanding just now? Single-handedly eliminating two Demon Venerables in a short period, achieving a near-perfect victory with hardly any injuries!
The items displayed here are extraordinary, indicating that Wang Zhifan’s combat strength in the Super Innate Realm is also highly competitive!
Moreover, he is so young that his overall potential cannot be underestimated!
"Thank you, senior monks."
Wang Zhifan immediately shifted his gaze upon hearing this, preparing to chat with the three monks for information he needed about the instance.
But suddenly, they all looked up at the sky!
A distinctive silhouette had appeared in the sky, instantly capturing everyone’s attention!
It’s hard to precisely describe what kind of man he was.
He appeared to be in his forties, of medium height, with gray-white long hair, dressed in a black scholar’s robe, holding a blue thread-bound book, and his appearance gave an average impression—not fat, not thin, not ugly, not handsome.
But his overall aura was extraordinary, vast as the celestial river, and anyone who glanced at him would never forget.
This scholarly-looking middle-aged man appeared in the sky, calmly scanning the scene below, then instantly, like teleporting, appeared on the ground beside Qingfeng.
"Ah... Qingfeng greets the sage!"
Previously furrowing his brow and shaking his head over Wang Zhifan’s title, Qingfeng was nearly startled when someone suddenly appeared beside him.
However, as a Super Innate expert himself, he recognized the sage’s presence immediately and hastily bowed in respect.
"Feng’er, didn’t I tell you before, there’s no need to be so formal with me."
The middle-aged man referred to as the sage returned with a smile, then showing a slightly puzzled expression, asked Qingfeng:
"Why were you shaking your head and mumbling just now?"
He referred to what he saw from above; witnessing a promising junior failing to notice his arrival immediately, but rather standing alone, seemingly engrossed compared to when the junior read the Confucian classics himself.
"Ah? Oh! To report to the sage, I was contemplating a title for this Dao Sect friend!"
Qingfeng didn’t react immediately upon hearing this, but soon understood, pointing to Wang Zhifan, who was watching from not far away.
For a moment, Wang Zhifan’s gaze met the sage’s eyes, feeling a kind of indescribable majestic power enveloping his entire being.
But fortunately, this power was gentle and balanced, not causing any adverse reactions or resistance in him.
After their eyes met, the sage nodded slightly at Wang Zhifan and then turned to look at the two Demon Venerables’ remains on the ground and the nearby illusion, contemplating briefly before speaking to Wang Zhifan:
"To be so young yet possess such astonishing martial arts cultivation is rare in my lifetime. Indeed, you deserve a fitting title... If you don’t mind, let me bestow upon you the title of ’Martial Venerable’... Should you progress further someday, the title of ’Martial Lord’ is reserved for you."
What Wang Zhifan didn’t expect was that the sage, like his junior Qingfeng, turned out to be another naming enthusiast, bestowing not one but two titles on him, leaving him speechless.
