Thus they battle.

The murderer replies: "Reasonable!"
Then summons the Life-Cutting Blade from the west, slashes open Furious Sea, ascending before all to Insight of Truth!

The murderer passes by without a word.
Then ascends the Heavenly Ascension Stairs, challenges First Elder Chongguang Zhenren of Diao Hai Building.
Both parties battle in The Nine Heavens.
Battle lasts three days and nights, wind and thunder cease.
The murderer’s left arm is severed, laughs loudly and departs.
All think the murderer is defeated.
Only Chongguang sighs and says: "I have lost thirteen years of life!"
Then compensates Zhongxuan Zun with Sinking Sea Jade Crystal.
— "Records of Near Sea"
...
...
In the space of the Star River, Jiang Wang sits facing Zhongxuan Sheng.
Zhongxuan Chuliang’s prestige at the Near Sea Archipelago was not today, only today did Zhongxuan Sheng mention it.
Jiang Wang simultaneously hurries on the road and cultivates by reading history, yet misses many changing winds and clouds.
"The Marquis of Ding Yuan’s blade, can really cut lifespan?" Jiang Wang’s face shows surprise.
Zhongxuan Sheng rolls his eyes: "Otherwise, why do you think the old man has lingered in the Divine Arrival Realm so long? During Qi Xia’s conquest, he was already in the Divine Arrival Realm, though not famous, actually, few in the same realm could match him. After the conquest, he was hailed as first in the Eastern Region! He honed himself for so many years because the Tao path is too strong, hard to grasp its truth. Rashly breaking through would actually have flaws."
"Then this time..."
"So many years have passed, it’s about perfect now. But uncle said, the Life-Cutting Blade must not have a nameless affair, he’s always been waiting for the right occasion. On Qi Yang’s battlefield, originally hoped Yang Jiande would perform, but unfortunately he fell into demon art..." Zhongxuan Sheng said: "This time out at sea, firstly for my cousin to stand out, secondly to suppress Diao Hai Building’s momentum. Family affairs and national matters as one, he thus proves Insight of Truth."
Wei Xun previously gathered strong individuals to ambush Wan Tong, greatly increasing prestige. With his resolve as True Lord Of Sinking City, supported a prematurely established Seize Sea Alliance.
Zhongxuan Chuliang then immediately went to Diao Hai Building to flaunt strength...
Qi Country’s suppression of Diao Hai Building is truly relentless, not even giving overnight courtesy, simply relentless day and night, year after year.
This time, the murderer if not been perfect, Qi Country surely would have other actions.
But nothing would be as fitting and awe-inspiring as the murderer’s strike.
Murderer standing up for his nephew, no one can contest his reasoning.
And his Divine Arrival invincible, proclaim Insight of Truth then Insight of Truth, just entering Insight of Truth then points blade at Near Sea Archipelago’s first True Man Chongguang...
Such fierce might, how can it not terrify the maritime people.
Recalling each time seeking guidance, facing Zhongxuan Chuliang’s profound feeling, Jiang Wang laments: "Just entering Insight of Truth can defeat Chongguang Zhenren, Lord Murderer truly makes one look up to the mountains."
"At Insight of Truth’s realm, what matters is understanding of the world. There’s no long ages, only the capable take precedence." Zhongxuan Sheng shakes his head: "But uncle said he can’t consider it a victory. After all, the higher in cultivation, the stronger the flesh, once damaged, recovery is rather arduous. He was in Insight of Truth realm and lost an arm, not much better than losing thirteen years of life... of course the Court will compensate,"
This is the advantage of background.
Zhongxuan Sheng’s cultivation is now stable below Jiang Wang, yet his understanding of cultivation realms still far exceeds Jiang Wang.
Zhongxuan Chuliang’s casual chit-chat, to Jiang Wang, is precious cultivation knowledge.
Supposedly life-reviving spiritual medicine is not rare, but those are mostly aimed at ordinary people.
Cultivator’s flesh, soul, all have been cultivated to certain extent, once damaged, not ordinary spiritual medicine can salvage.
The more powerful the cultivator, once damaged, the more the cost required.
Like when in the past Diaohai Tower Master Gu Huaixin prepared to resurrect Ji Shaoqing on the spot, it involved both altar and many materials prepared. If it were to revive an ordinary person just dead, as long as the soul isn’t utterly dissipated, perhaps Zhenren Gu could casually find a bit of spiritual medicine.
But if a cultivator in the Divine Arrival Realm died in battle, it’s not something Zhenren Gu could save.
Of course this knowledge, Jiang Wang understands, not just due to long cultivation and gradual accumulation, more importantly, he himself has experienced the feeling of losing an arm, deeply impressed...
What he lacks is Zhongxuan Sheng’s offhand remark "Insight of Truth’s realm relies on understanding of the world."
Zhongxuan Sheng understands these, he doesn’t.
Jiang Wang shakes his head: "Such realm’s power, beyond my imagination, better to talk about things I can understand."
Back then, Chongguang Zhenren took him to Lost World, that strange and otherworldly feeling, is something he still cannot fully comprehend.
He can only sense Chongguang Zhenren’s strength, but cannot understand to what level he’s powerful.
"I also know what but not know why, understanding ultimately needs to be grounded in one’s realm," Zhongxuan Sheng casually says, then adds: "Crown Prince sent you a gift!"
He laughs with some mischievousness and says: "Now it’s properly displayed in your room, right under the calligraphy of Eleventh Highness."
