This is truly baffling.

Who in the martial arts world doesn't want to improve every day and dreams of becoming the best in the world?

With Liu Bai's current combat strength, he can rival a true master of the Celestial Realm at the Great Perfection stage. Once he breaks through, his strength will definitely double, making him virtually invincible.

Everyone was really baffled as to how anyone in this world could resist taking that step.

They simply couldn't understand why Liu Bai did that.

After a brief silence, the hall immediately became lively, with many martial arts heroes discussing the matter.

"I knew it. Sword Saint Liu Bai would definitely be on the list. No one in the world who dares to call themselves a Sword Saint is a pushover."

"I've long heard of Liu Bai, the Sword Saint of Southern Jin. I heard that he has a great reputation in Southern Jin. Now it seems that he really has some skills."

"Liu Bai is the sword saint of Southern Jin and a legend in the martial arts world. He is hailed as a genius who appears only once in a thousand years. His status is similar to that of Lu Zu and Li Chungang of Liyang. I never expected him to be this strong."

"Yes, it's not surprising that Liu Bai is on the list, but his strength is terrifying. Below the Celestial Longevity Realm, he is practically invincible."

"The number one person below the Celestial Longevity Realm? Although Liu Bai has not yet reached that realm, his strength is already at the Celestial Longevity Realm level, even stronger than Huangfu Jian at his peak."

"This is terrifying! Liu Bai's Great River Sword Intent is already invincible and unmatched in the mortal world. I never expected that he also has a One-Foot Sword Domain and the 'Sword of the Mortal World'. Who in the world can be his opponent?"

"Just as the Celestial Immortal said, Liu Bai is already invincible in the mortal realm. Even if he went to the Heavenly Realm, he could kill him without leaving a trace."

"I thought Mu Yingxiong and Wuming had already reached the peak of the terrestrial celestial realm. Now it seems that I was short-sighted. It turns out that there really are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people."

"Strange, Liu Bai could easily break through to the Celestial Realm of Great Longevity, so why is he suppressing himself from breaking through?"

"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone who could break through but deliberately didn't, especially someone at the Celestial Longevity Realm."

In the fifth private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.

Yan Shisan's face was icy cold, his expression one of shock, and even his voice trembled: "Is this the strength of the third-ranked Sword Immortal? I never imagined that Sword Saint Liu Bai had become this powerful."

"The title of Sword Saint must be recognized by the entire martial arts world."

"Not to mention that Liu Bai is a martial arts prodigy recognized by the Southern Jin Dynasty as one in a thousand years."

"As the saying goes, a great reputation is never undeserved, and Liu Bai's strength truly deserves this honor."

"I'm just curious about how powerful his Great River Sword really is, and what's so mysterious about the 'Sword of the Mortal World'?"

Xie Xiaofeng said with deep emotion.

Even Ximen Chuixue showed a rare expression of emotion, gripping the black-sheathed sword at his waist tightly.

Liu Bai's strength ignited his boundless fighting spirit.

There are countless top swordsmen in the world.

Throughout his kendo journey, there are always peaks he needs to overcome.

Originally, the three towering sword mountains that stood furthest away were A Qing, Wuming, and Mu Yingxiong.

But the appearance of Liu Bai caused a divine peak, even taller than the three sword mountains, to suddenly appear behind them.

Even more terrifying is that behind the Liubai Mountain, there are two more sacred peaks hidden in the mist, making them difficult to see.

The only certainty is that these two sacred peaks are even more terrifying than the one in Liubai.

Only by surpassing all these divine peaks and trampling them all under his feet can he truly be considered to be invincible and unrivaled.

Thinking of this, Ximen Chuixue was extremely excited, and his eyes became even sharper.

In the sixth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.

Lei Wujie stared wide-eyed and said, "What a sword saint Liu Bai! His swordsmanship is truly unheard of. His swordsmanship is even more powerful than the 'Six Annihilation Sword Twenty-Three'."

"I do not seek to fly ten thousand miles with my sword, but only to be invincible within a foot of my body."

"Sword Saint Liu Bai is indeed worthy of his reputation. His understanding of the way of the sword has completely surpassed that of millions of swordsmen in the world."

Tang Lian said with great admiration.

Wu Xin revealed a meaningful expression and said:

"Liu Bai is not only the Sword Saint of Southern Jin, but also the Chief Guest Elder of Xiling Temple."

"He holds an extremely high position in the Haotian Dao Sect, and must know many secrets that the world does not know."

"It is truly intriguing that such a person does not pursue the advancement to the Celestial Realm of Great Longevity, but instead remains at the Celestial Realm of the Land."

Upon hearing this, the people in the private room all wore serious expressions.

Only Lei Wujie asked foolishly, "Right, Liu Bai clearly has the strength to break through to the Celestial Great Longevity Realm, so why doesn't he break through? With his status, he should know very well how powerful this realm is, right?"

Xiao Se took a small sip of tea, squinted his eyes, and said:

"Perhaps it is precisely because Liu Bai understands the Celestial Longevity Realm too well that he is unwilling to break through."

Do you remember what we were speculating about before?

"The struggle between the great cultivators in the human world and the true god Haotian has never stopped since ancient times."

"The bottom line for great cultivators in the mortal realm is the Celestial Longevity Realm, because only those at this level can perceive the existence of Haotian..."

"Conversely, only those who reach the Great Longevity Realm of Celestial Beings or above will be regarded by Haotian as potential 'Conquerors of Heaven'."

"As the chief guest elder of the Xiling Temple, Liu Bai likely already knew this secret."

"This explains why he has always suppressed his cultivation at the Land Celestial Realm."

"He didn't want to become Haotian's rival."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Ruofeng and Wuxin immediately expressed their agreement.

They thought so too.

In the world, the only one who could make a powerful figure like Liu Bai feel wary is probably Haotian.

In the third private room on the east side of the thirteenth floor.

Jian Chen exclaimed, "How terrifying is Liu Bai! No one can stop the Great River Sword Intent. The sword of the mortal world makes even the heavens tremble. Just how powerful must this sword intent be?"

He had some doubts before, thinking that it was fine if Mu Yingxiong was slightly stronger than Wuming, but who could be more powerful than Wuming?

But after hearing Su Chen's evaluation of Liu Bai, Jian Chen was completely convinced.

Because Liu Bai's strength is completely overwhelming.

Although they were all experts at the Land Celestial Realm, he was clearly far superior to Mu Yingxiong, Wuming, and Aqing.

Currently, there are only three publicly known masters at the Celestial Longevity Realm: Lu Zu of Liyang, the Great Swordsman of the Great Han Jianghu, and Huangfu Jian at his peak.

Liu Bai's strength was even greater than Huangfu Jian's at his peak, which shows how terrifying he was.

Even though he had always admired Wuming, he now had to admit that Liu Bai's strength was indeed superior to Wuming's.

"That's quite interesting,"

"Liu Bai clearly has the ability to break through to the Celestial Longevity Realm, but he has not yet made the breakthrough."

"Is it really as the Great Swordsman said, that the Celestial Longevity Realm hides immense dangers, and that humans cannot look directly at gods?"

Dugu Qiubai said slowly.

Wuming nodded slightly: "Besides this, I really can't think of any other reason why Liu Bai wouldn't break through."

"Does Master mean that Liu Bai already knows that once he breaks through to the Celestial Great Longevity Realm, he will anger Haotian, so he has been suppressing his cultivation level?"

Jian Chen asked in surprise.

Wuming replied, "The Haotian Dao Sect is probably the oldest force in the world, and it has a complex relationship with Haotian. It is not surprising that Liu Bai, as a member of it, knows this secret."

Upon hearing this, Jian Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling even more how terrifying Haotian was and how much pressure he exerted on the human world.

After they finished discussing, they all fell silent and turned their gazes toward Bai Yutai.

No matter how much they discussed it, it was all just guesswork; only Su Chen could provide the answer.

Su Chen felt the eager gazes coming from all directions, smiled slightly, and slowly said:

"Many friends in the martial arts world must be curious as to why Liu Bai has been suppressing his cultivation level all this time."

"This has to do with the rules of this world, which involve the ultimate secret of this world."

"If we compare the entire Haotian world to a country, then Haotian is the monarch of that country."

"If we compare the entire Haotian World to a family, then Haotian is the patriarch of this family."

"As the saying goes, a country has its laws, a family has its rules, and the Haotian World naturally has its own rules as well."

"The one who made these rules is none other than the only true god of the Haotian world—Haotian."

"In a sense, it was Haotian who sowed the seeds of cultivation in the human world, which enabled martial arts to flourish."

"But this does not mean that everyone can cultivate at will."

"Because the primordial energy in the world is limited, the more powerful a cultivator is, the more primordial energy they consume."

"Therefore, Haotian set a rule to restrict the power of those above the terrestrial immortal realm."

"The reason why Liu Bai dares not break through his realm is because he is constrained by this rule."

After Su Chen finished speaking, everyone in the hall stared wide-eyed.

It turns out that there are rules set by Haotian in this world.

Just like the laws of the imperial court or the clan rules of a large family, there are rules and regulations that must be followed.

This is truly unprecedented.

After hearing what followed, everyone had an expression of sudden realization.

Haotian established the rules to restrict those great cultivators, especially those above the terrestrial immortal realm.

Such people are extremely rare throughout the entire land of Kyushu, and have no connection with most martial arts practitioners, so ordinary people can't even sense them.

But this matter still aroused great interest among the public.

What kind of rules could make an invincible powerhouse like Liu Bai hesitate?

After a brief discussion, everyone looked intently at Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen to continue his explanation.

Su Chen didn't keep them in suspense; he opened his folding fan and said directly:

"The Earth Immortal Realm is divided into three levels: Earth Immortal, Earth Celestial, and Celestial Great Longevity Realm."
