“Senior Shenxuan, the Shenxu Divine Kingdom's challenge this time is clearly deliberately difficult, why did you agree?” After the group from the Shenxu Divine Kingdom left, Grandmaster Su inquired of Jiang Xuan.

He really didn't understand Jiang Xuan's actions. Although if they hadn't agreed, the Shenxu Divine Kingdom would definitely publicize it widely, they could still find reasons to refute it, and the impact wouldn't be too great.

But now, Jiang Xuan directly agreed to refine a brand new divine script rune, which, he felt, even the president of the Divine Script Master Guild wouldn't be able to accomplish within a year without preparation, let alone Jiang Xuan, who had only advanced to become a seventh-grade divine script master less than a century ago.

"Do you think the Shenxu Divine Kingdom really wants to suppress only me?" Jiang Xuan asked with a smile. Although he was a seventh-grade divine script master and even had the cultivation of a Heavenly Venerate, and had previously rejected the invitation of the Shenxu Divine Kingdom many times, for such a behemoth, having one more or one less seventh-grade divine script master or Heavenly Venerate made no difference at all.

The divine script masters present immediately realized something upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words. No wonder the Shenxu Divine Kingdom was acting this way, clearly trying to make things difficult for Jiang Xuan. This was completely different from the previous situation.

In the past, although the Shenxu Divine Kingdom would send people to compete because of being rejected, the content of the competition was within a normal range. It was nothing like this time, which was clearly meant to create difficulties for Jiang Xuan.

"Even if I refuse their challenge this time, they will still have a second and third time, until they achieve their goal, because they don't want to suppress just me, but the entire Divine Script Master Guild," Jiang Xuan said.

The Shenxu Divine Kingdom and the Divine Script Master Guild were considered the two top forces in the Asura Road. The Shenxu Divine Kingdom had a True God sitting in charge, while the Divine Script Master Guild had countless divine script masters.

Although the Divine Script Master Guild was inferior to the Shenxu Divine Kingdom in terms of hard power, countless years of accumulation had also made the Divine Script Master Guild a sacred place in the hearts of almost all divine script masters. In the field of divine script techniques, the Divine Script Master Guild had a prestige that the Shenxu Divine Kingdom couldn't match.

"Then should we notify the other vice-presidents, and the president?" Grandmaster Su asked again. The Shenxu Divine Kingdom had come with ill intentions, using the competition as a pretext, seemingly making things difficult for Jiang Xuan alone, but in reality, it was aimed at the entire Divine Script Master Guild. This matter should be told to the other high-level figures.

"You guys can contact them. After this matter, I will temporarily leave Divine Script City and go deep into the Asura Road. To avoid the Shenxu Divine Kingdom from entangling us again, we indeed need a high-level figure to return and take charge."

Jiang Xuan said that he didn't take this challenge from the Shenxu Divine Kingdom seriously, and he had full confidence that he could win.

However, after winning this time, he also planned to leave for a while. When divine script techniques reached his current level, if he wanted to improve further, the best way was to find the divine decree left by the master of the Asura Road. However, even if such treasures existed in the known areas, they would be occupied by forces like the Soul Clan and the Holy Clan, which had True Gods sitting in charge.

Only in the unknown and dangerous areas of the Asura Road was it possible to find undiscovered divine decrees, and use them to comprehend higher-level divine script techniques, thereby advancing to become an eighth-grade divine script master.

"Yes!" Grandmaster Su respectfully replied. Although he didn't know why Jiang Xuan wanted to leave temporarily, they didn't dare to ask more questions. They just needed to do as Jiang Xuan instructed.

After that, Grandmaster Su and the others contacted the other high-level figures of the Divine Script Master Guild while also busily preparing for the competition a year later. After all, it was a duel between seventh-grade divine script masters. Even if the other party had come with ill intentions, they couldn't be discourteous.

Putting aside other things, at least the spectacle had to be grand. In past competitions between seventh-grade divine script masters, people from all sides would be invited to hold a grand gathering, during which there would also be discussions and debates from various parties.

But this time was different. Jiang Xuan and Fu Xian represented the Divine Script Master Guild and the Shenxu Divine Kingdom respectively. The scale of this grand gathering couldn't be small, especially for the Divine Script Master Guild. If the preparations weren't thorough, they would inevitably be criticized.

Gradually, the news of the duel between the two great seventh-grade divine script masters spread throughout the Inner Asura Road. Especially since they were from the two top divine script system forces within the Asura Road, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Especially for divine script masters, a duel between seventh-grade divine script masters was rare throughout history. Especially after the challenge topic was announced this time, many reclusive seventh-grade divine script masters rushed to attend.

The entire Divine Script City, which was already prosperous, was now filled with divine script masters from all directions. Competitions and debates took place every day, and the liveliness reached its peak.

At the same time, the time for the competition was also approaching bit by bit. Divine Script City had already made sufficient preparations, using countless kinds of divine scripts to construct the dueling arena, fully displaying the profundity of the divine script path.

……

Finally, the one-year period arrived. Jiang Xuan and Fu Xian, the two seventh-grade divine script masters, finally appeared. Previously, only people from their respective forces and other seventh-grade divine script masters were able to meet them.

But now that the competition had arrived, they also appeared before the numerous divine script masters, standing on the divine script arena constructed in the void, officially beginning the competition.

All the divine script masters looked forward to it. It was rare to see a seventh-grade divine script master taking action in person. Only at this time would they have the opportunity to see it.

In the void, all the materials for engraving divine script runes had already been prepared in front of Jiang Xuan, as well as several kinds of "Tai Xuan" (Profound Mystery) grade divine runes. These were essential materials for refining seventh-grade divine script runes. Without divine runes, no matter how skilled a divine script master was, it would be impossible to refine a seventh-grade divine script rune.

After the competition began, Jiang Xuan and Fu Xian began processing the materials they had prepared at the same time.

To draw a divine script rune, it was generally divided into three major parts. The first part was processing the materials, the second part was the drawing process of guiding the materials with soul power, and the third part was the fusion of the divine script rune with the divine runes of the Asura Road.

The first part was the simplest, especially for a powerhouse like Jiang Xuan who had the cultivation of a Heavenly Venerate. Processing the materials was very simple, and the most difficult part was not the drawing in the second part, but the fusion in the third part.

The third part was the most crucial part of divine script techniques. The reason why divine script techniques could be independent from inscription techniques was because of this third part. It was in this step that it fused with the Heavenly Dao of the Asura Road.

In this way, the divine script rune was a rune that represented the Heavenly Dao of the Asura Road. At the same time, the higher the level of the divine script rune, the greater the difficulty of the third part. Many high-level divine script masters failed because of the complex, mysterious, and infinitely powerful Asura Heavenly Dao.

In past exchanges and competitions, the Shenxu Divine Kingdom had always done better in the third part than the Divine Script Master Guild. After all, they had a True God sitting in charge, and their understanding of the Asura Heavenly Dao was beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

Of course, as the sacred land of divine script techniques, the Divine Script Master Guild was not much weaker in the third part, and with generations of genius divine script masters constantly researching and developing, the overall level of the Divine Script Master Guild was still higher than that of the Shenxu Divine Kingdom.

However, two tigers cannot share a mountain. Just as the Shenxu Divine Kingdom, which belonged to the Soul Clan, and the Qitian Divine Kingdom, which belonged to the Holy Clan, had been fighting openly and secretly, the struggle between the Shenxu Divine Kingdom and the Divine Script Master Guild had never stopped.

This time, the duel with Jiang Xuan was just an excuse for them. Even without Jiang Xuan, the two major forces would eventually have a full-scale confrontation sooner or later.

In the void, various precious divine materials floated in the air, guided by the soul power of the two seventh-grade divine script masters, and then constantly decomposed. Randomly, they were attracted by the divine script pens, outlining and drawing various dazzling patterns, which were breathtaking for a time.

"Two kinds of the latest divine script runes, and both will be seventh-grade divine script runes, it's really something to look forward to."

"Just now I saw Myriad Divine Fruit, Phoenix Blood, and so on. What kind of divine script runes are the two grandmasters going to draw?"

"Wait patiently, any kind of seventh-grade divine script rune will take a lot of time to refine. It's just the beginning, it's still early!"

In Divine Script City, many divine script masters were already impatient. If Jiang Xuan and Fu Xian were both successful, then two kinds of the latest seventh-grade divine script runes would appear in the world, which could be called a rare grand occasion in the divine script technique system. How could they not be excited?

This was equivalent to the martial arts system, where two kinds of supreme divine martial arts appeared in one day. Which martial artist wouldn't yearn for it?
