"Trash?"
Ning Tian smiled calmly, causing everyone in the grand hall to tense up, eager to see how he would respond.
But the next words he uttered left everyone in the hall with strange expressions.
"I am indeed trash."
Hmm?
Is this self-destruction?
The group of powerful figures and the elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were all taken aback.
Ning Tian's lips curled into a smile as he said indifferently, "If one cannot reach the heavens in a single step, how dare they call themselves a genius?"
Wow!
With these words, the hall fell into a dead silence!
"If one cannot reach the heavens in a single step, how dare they call themselves a genius!?" Many of the holy sons and princes murmured to themselves, their faces turning extremely ugly!
They prided themselves on being geniuses!
But!
They couldn't reach the heavens in a single step!
Ning Tian's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to all the holy sons and princes present!
Since they couldn't reach the heavens in a single step, they weren't worthy of calling themselves geniuses!
They were just like trash!
Creak, creak.
Many of the holy sons and princes gritted their teeth in anger, glaring furiously at the smiling Ning Tian.
Their hearts were filled with rage!
They were already less handsome than Ning Tian, so they could only call him trash!
But now!
Damn it, they had become trash too!
"What a... ruthless move!"
The Great Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted, a gleam flashing in his eyes as he looked at the smiling Ning Tian.
This young man, with just a single sentence, had fiercely slapped the faces of all the so-called "geniuses" present!
If you can't reach the heavens in a single step, what right do you have to call yourself a genius?
"Hiss..."
The Great Elder took a deep breath, glancing at Luo Wuqing on the high seat, feeling even more admiration for the Empress's insight!
"However..."
At this moment, a gentle smile appeared in Ning Tian's eyes as he said slowly, "Fortunately, I recognized my own status and didn't become arrogant and self-proclaimed like you all."
With these words, the hearts of the holy sons and princes in the hall felt as if they had been struck hard!
Their chests were filled with suppressed anger!
They were aggrieved!
Was he openly saying, I'm proud to be trash?
Shameless! They had never seen someone so shameless!
Poof-!
A mouthful of blood spurted from a holy son's mouth, his eyes filled with frustration, literally angered to the point of spitting blood by Ning Tian! Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
Poof!
Poof! Poof!
Then, several other holy sons and princes were also angered to the point of spitting blood!
They had always prided themselves on being geniuses, but now Ning Tian's words had directly turned them into trash.
This damaged their Dao hearts, causing them to be so enraged that they spat blood!
"So handsome!"
"With just one sentence, he defeated so many holy sons and princes!"
In the hall, the saintesses and princesses looked at Ning Tian with admiration, seemingly completely infatuated with him.
If the Empress weren't present, they might have fought over Ning Tian!
With his already handsome appearance and the influence of his Divine Charm Physique, these princesses and saintesses couldn't resist Ning Tian's allure!
"Genius? Trash... trash?"
Lin Xiaoyao's heart trembled violently, and in that moment, the pride within him was completely shattered by Ning Tian!
"Ahem..."
At this point, the Great Elder coughed a few times. If Ning Tian continued speaking, the Dao hearts of these holy sons and princes might shatter.
"Ning Tian... I ask you, where did you learn this Heavenly Demon Palm?"
The Great Elder's eyes were fixed on Ning Tian.
Countless pairs of eyes fell on Ning Tian. The Heavenly Demon Palm, only two people in the entire Heavenly Demon Sect knew it.
How did Ning Tian learn it?
"Oh, that..."
Ning Tian seemed nonchalant, but his mind was racing for a response. Soon, he thought of a solution.
"I learned it in the Scripture Pavilion."
"Scripture Pavilion?"
The Great Elder was taken aback. The Heavenly Demon Palm indeed had a copy in the Scripture Pavilion. "Then, how long did it take you to master this Heavenly Demon Palm?"
The Heavenly Demon Palm was extremely difficult to cultivate!
Some elders spent half their lives without success!
The Great Elder himself took seven whole months to master it!
However, Empress Luo Wuqing was an exception. It took her only three days to master the Heavenly Demon Palm.
"As for the time..."
Ning Tian raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed like he had learned it in less than a minute?
But saying that might sound too arrogant? Forget it, let's be a bit more subtle.
Ning Tian pondered for a moment and raised one finger, "One day."
He thought, one day should be long enough, right?
One day was indeed longer than a minute.
"What!?"
"One day!??"
The Great Elder was dumbfounded.
The elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were stunned.
One day? This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Damn, that's even faster than the Empress's cultivation speed!
Is this trash?
"What... what's wrong?" Seeing their shocked expressions, Ning Tian scratched his head. Wasn't one day quite long?
His perspective was still stuck on Earth. One day was indeed quite long, over a thousand minutes!
"One day, this is simply genius! No, no! This is a once-in-a-lifetime genius in martial arts cultivation!"
The Great Elder was so excited that his body trembled, tears streaming down his face.
How many years had it been!
Finally, their Heavenly Demon Sect had a disciple with talent enough to rival, or even surpass, the Empress!
In less than a few decades, another Emperor Realm figure would emerge!
[Ding!]
[You have shocked the elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect, rewarding you with a thousand spiritual energy cultivation!]
Ning Tian suddenly felt a surge in the spiritual energy within his body.
Poof-!
"One day? Poof-!"
In an instant, many holy sons and princes in the hall were once again shocked, their chests suppressed, and old blood surged forth.
One moment, you say you can't reach the heavens in a single step, not daring to call yourself a genius.
But the next moment, you can comprehend an extremely difficult martial art in ONE day!!!
What does that make them? Not even worthy of being trash?!
"Poof..."
"Not good! The holy son of the Holy Land of Light has fainted from anger!"
"The crown prince of the Heavenly Kingdom has passed out!"
"The holy son of the Celestial Sanctuary is vomiting blood from anger, losing too much blood, and has fainted!"
"..."
In the hall, countless holy sons and princes felt the blood rushing to their heads, their vision going black, and they collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the Great Elder shook his head repeatedly, feeling a headache.
After today, who knows how many holy sons and princes would have their Dao hearts damaged, and Ning Tian might even become their inner demon!
But fortunately, with the Empress present, the forces behind these holy sons and princes wouldn't dare to demand an explanation.
The farce ended, and the wedding ceremony continued as planned.
At this moment, no one thought Ning Tian was unworthy of the Empress anymore.
In their eyes, Ning Tian now had infinite potential, and it was highly likely that in a few decades or centuries, the Heavenly Demon Sect would give birth to another Emperor Realm powerhouse!
******
Tianling Domain, Righteous Alliance.
Immortal energy swirled, and cranes flew among the clouds, resembling a paradise on earth.
In the mountains, there was a magnificent hall hidden amidst the swirling immortal energy.
Inside the hall, several white-haired elders sat facing each other.
Each white-haired elder was surrounded by a silver glow, with the laws of the Great Dao upon them, exuding an incredibly powerful aura!
After a long silence, a white-haired elder in a black robe looked at the others and slowly spoke.
"Now, the demonic path is rampant, with the Heavenly Demon Sect at its head. What are your thoughts, gentlemen?"
