Chapter 15 The Divine Script Duel

Three days later, a Divine Script Master from the Divine Void God Kingdom arrived in Divine Script City. Jiang Xuan led a group to welcome him. The man was a seventh-grade Divine Script Master, and even if he was here to cause trouble, they couldn't afford to be negligent.

Master Fu Xian was also a Celestial Venerable, but unlike Jiang Xuan, he was a native Celestial Venerable of the Asura Road, who had never been to the Thirty-Three Heavens, and had always cultivated the Heavenly Dao of the Asura Road.

The reason he joined the Divine Void God Kingdom was because the Divine Void God King possessed a True God-level cultivation and had an understanding of the Asura Road Heavenly Dao that even the Divine Script Master Guild couldn't match.

He had been ordered to come and engage in an unusual Divine Script Art duel with Jiang Xuan. Both were seventh-grade Divine Script Masters, but Master Fu Xian had heard that Jiang Xuan had become a seventh-grade Divine Script Master not long ago, less than a century.

In his opinion, the path of Divine Script Art was like a vast ocean. In a hundred years, even a Celestial Venerable could only learn the tip of the iceberg. He had been a seventh-grade Divine Script Master for over ten thousand years, so there was no way he could lose.

"Celestial Venerable Shenxuan, the outcome of this competition doesn't matter. Let's just treat it as a friendly exchange. You and I will each propose a question, how about it?" Master Fu Xian said. Although Jiang Xuan had repeatedly refused to join the Divine Void God Kingdom, he was still a Celestial Venerable, so the necessary courtesy had to be maintained on the surface.

As for what rumors would spread within the Asura Road after Jiang Xuan's defeat, that was not something he needed to consider.

Jiang Xuan looked at the smiling Master Fu Xian and calmly nodded, "Very well, then what is your question, Master?"

Master Fu Xian stroked his beard and smiled, "You and I are both seventh-grade Divine Script Masters, and Brother Shenxuan is also the Vice President of the Divine Script Master Guild. The duel question must naturally demonstrate the profundity of Divine Script Art, and at the same time, it must be innovative, and not always use the Divine Scripts of the Sages as exam questions..."

Hearing his words, Jiang Xuan remained silent, but he understood that this was an attempt at innovation. However, he wasn't afraid. He had already mastered seventh-grade Divine Script Art and had even begun to comprehend eighth-grade Divine Script Art.

In the eyes of others, this would undoubtedly be unbelievable. After all, Jiang Xuan had become a seventh-grade Divine Script Master in less than a century, and it was already difficult to completely stabilize at the seventh-grade Divine Script Master level. Advancing to the eighth-grade Divine Script Master level was simply a pipe dream.

But they couldn't imagine that the progress of someone with a cheat could be measured by common sense. As the understanding of the "Dao" deepened for his main body, clones, and the clones in various worlds, Jiang Xuan's speed of comprehension became faster and faster. The saying that understanding one law leads to understanding all laws was exactly like this.

Although he hadn't truly reached that level yet, given some time, his understanding of the Asura Road Heavenly Dao would not be inferior to True God experts like the Divine Void God King.

Moreover, he might even directly use the Asura Road Heavenly Dao to become a True God. Although the strength of this kind of True God couldn't be perfectly brought out of the Asura Road until he fully understood the Asura Road Heavenly Dao, it would be enough to make him invincible within the Asura Road.

"Fellow Daoist Shenxuan, my question is a ‘new’ word. Fellow Daoist can develop and innovate past Divine Script Runes, and refine a new kind of seventh-grade Divine Script Rune. In the end, the strength of the Divine Script Runes refined by you and me will determine the outcome, what do you think?" Master Fu Xian smiled.

For a moment, many sixth-grade and fifth-grade Divine Script Masters in the Divine Script Master Guild couldn't help but look displeased.

Seventh-grade Divine Script Masters did indeed lead the era. They would develop and innovate the past Divine Script Art system, but that was by no means something that could be done overnight.

The birth of any seventh-grade Divine Script Rune was the result of countless Sages spending countless efforts and countless time.

And now, this competition by Fu Xian actually required Jiang Xuan to create a new Divine Script Rune, which was completely deliberately making things difficult.

"Divine Void God Kingdom, why do you need to target Senior Shenxuan like this?!" Master Su said, suppressing his anger. In his opinion, this was completely unfair.

"Hehe, you're mistaken, how can this be considered targeting? Since it's a duel, Master Fu Xian naturally also has to complete this question. This is also to demonstrate the extraordinary and transcendent understanding of Divine Script Art of a seventh-grade Divine Script Master." Next to Master Fu Xian, another sixth-grade Divine Script Master stood up and said.

They had naturally made preparations long ago for this trip. Master Fu Xian had a brand new Divine Script Rune in his hands.

"You!" Master Su wanted to retort, but Jiang Xuan waved his hand to stop him. This was just a small matter. The other party thought that he had just entered the seventh-grade Divine Script Master realm and was far from being able to create new Divine Script Runes, but they were completely wrong.

"The question proposed by Master Fu Xian is very good. The path of Divine Script should not stick to the rules, but should constantly strive for progress and development. Otherwise, how can one pursue higher levels of cultivation?"

Jiang Xuan smiled. Although the other party wanted to create obstacles, the idea was indeed good. Any system can only survive the passage of time if it is constantly innovated. The same is true for Divine Script Art.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Shenxuan is absolutely right!" Master Fu Xian laughed loudly. He did agree with Jiang Xuan's words.

Jiang Xuan nodded, and then said, "Since Fellow Daoist Fu Xian uses 'new' as the topic, it is already enough to judge the level of a Divine Script Master. I will not propose any more difficult questions. Let's use 'strength' as the topic and each refine a seventh-grade Divine Script Rune. Whoever's is more effective will be considered the winner, how about it?"

As Jiang Xuan's voice fell, the Divine Void God Kingdom side also breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that Jiang Xuan would also deliberately raise some difficult questions that they were not prepared for at all, but now it was good. This question was very normal in a Divine Script Art competition, so there was no need to worry about anything else.

Master Fu Xian had no reason to refuse, and nodded, "Since that's the case, then let's settle it like this. You and I each have a year to prepare. A year later, we will compete in Divine Script City."

Giving a year's time seemed to give Jiang Xuan time to prepare, but in the eyes of experts, a year was no different from a day. Creating a brand new seventh-grade Divine Script Rune was simply not something that could be done in a year or two.

"Alright." But Jiang Xuan did not refuse, which puzzled the Divine Void God Kingdom side. They didn't believe that Jiang Xuan didn't know their intentions, but he agreed so calmly, which made them feel like there was a trap.

"Could it be that this Celestial Venerable Shenxuan also has a new Divine Script Rune?" A sixth-grade Divine Script Master from the Divine Void God Kingdom secretly speculated, but was quickly denied. If seventh-grade Divine Script Runes were so easy to create, then they wouldn't have used this as a topic.

This was like the Supreme Divine Martial Arts in the martial world. A Celestial Venerable, in most cases, could only create one Supreme Divine Martial Art in their lifetime, but for a Divine Script Master, creating a seventh-grade Divine Script Rune was even more difficult. To truly create a brand new seventh-grade Divine Script Rune, one would inevitably have to spend endless resources.

Although Jiang Xuan was a seventh-grade Divine Script Master and the Vice President of the Divine Script Master Guild, he had only advanced for a century. According to common sense, he could only be considered an entry-level seventh-grade Divine Script Master. Even if he had a monstrous talent, he would at most be a normal seventh-grade Divine Script Master. How could he possibly create a new seventh-grade Divine Script Rune?

As for borrowing Divine Script Runes created by others for his own use, this was unacceptable to any Divine Script Master. Moreover, they had to take a Heavenly Dao Oath for this kind of competition, so they couldn't fake it at all.

"Perhaps his initial idea was the same as ours, to win on the question he raised and lose slightly on the other party's question." Another Divine Script Master secretly transmitted his voice.

Their initial idea was to win on the point of refining a new seventh-grade Divine Script Rune, because this was already the most difficult topic in a Divine Script Art duel. Even if Jiang Xuan deliberately made things difficult for them when raising the question, leading to their eventual defeat, they could make a big fuss about it.

After all, for other questions, even if they lost, they could refine some corresponding Divine Script Runes and not lose too badly. But if they lost on the question raised by Master Fu Xian, they might not even be able to refine a Divine Script Rune.

And once that was the case, they would have many ways to completely discredit Jiang Xuan.

As for Master Fu Xian, although his reputation would also be damaged, the competition question was agreed upon by both parties, and this could be proven by the Heavenly Dao Oath. Even if others wanted to condemn him, they couldn't find an excuse.

They could only blame Jiang Xuan himself for being too arrogant and agreeing to such a competition. So even if he lost, he could only bear the consequences himself.
