Tan Yun and the others were surprised and excited at the same time.
"Could it be that Yun'er has already reached the saint level in the four arts of alchemy, formation, talisman, and artifact?"
They were overwhelmed with disbelief and curiosity.
As for whether Tan Yun's mastery of the four arts could reach the legendary immortal stage, they didn't even consider it!
Perhaps no one has ever reached the immortal stage in their mastery of the four arts since then!
While Dantai Yu and Dantai Xuanzhong were secretly astonished, the ancestral patriarchs of the Eight Lineages were overjoyed!
Especially the eight great ancestral patriarchs of the Eight Lineages, they knew that among them resided sacred alchemists, sacred artifact masters, sacred talisman masters, and sacred formation masters!
They were confident that under any one of their assessments, Tan Yun would surely fail.
Let alone the Demon Beast Fierce Domain; they were certain that if Tan Yun fought a fifth-level or sixth-level demon beast bare-handed, the result would be catastrophic, with his body shredded and devoured by the demon beast!
"Good, young sovereign, truly straightforward!" Si Tu Wu Hen laughed heartily.
"Being straightforward is one thing; this young sovereign is simply giving you an opportunity to eliminate him," Tan Yun squinted his eyes, surveying the eight great ancestral patriarchs and continued, "However, I have a proposal; how about adding a bit of flair to it?"
"You may speak, young sovereign." Jin Xianghai smiled, hiding a murderous intent. Thinking of Young Immortal Jin's death, he nearly wished to crush Tan Yun to death.
Tan Yun calmly said, "Among the four arts of alchemy, artifact, talisman, and formation, any one of you can present what you believe is the most difficult assessment for me. If I lose, you won't need to waste any more effort to kill me in the future."
"I'll take my own life!"
"If I pass the assessment, I will respect you, the eight great ancestral patriarchs, as seniors and request one of your right arms, along with a vow never to restore the lost arm for all eternity. How does that sound?"
"Think about it; it's quite a deal. If I lose my life, you only lose an arm!"
"Oh, of course, if you dare not gamble, then we can forgo today's assessment and simply let me take the position of sovereign directly!"
Tan Yun paused, coldly saying, "The choice is in your hands; the decision is also in your hands. Do you dare... or not dare?"
Over seven million disciples thought Tan Yun had gone mad upon hearing this!
Wasn’t this seeking death?
In the minds of the disciples, they knew that the young sovereign had some understanding of alchemical refinement, artifact refinement, talisman refining, and formation refinement. However, how could his mastery of the four arts compare to that of the ancestral patriarchs?
One must know these patriarchs were ancient relics, living for over a thousand, even thousands of years!
The disciples of the Meritorious Lineage and law enforcement disciples watched Tan Yun with worry, feeling uneasy.
In contrast, Shen Subing, Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shiyao, and Xue Ziyan, who knew Tan Yun was a reincarnated powerful being, still wore worried expressions.
At this moment, Tuoba Yingying conveyed a message to Mu Mengyi, Shiyao, and Ziyan, telling the three not to worry...
However, the "flair" proposed by Tan Yun sparked calculations in the hearts of the eight great ancestral patriarchs, as well as the more than one hundred ancestral patriarchs of the Eight Lineages.
In their hearts, they believed Tan Yun was just trying to bluff himself.
They thought that Tan Yun had entered the sect for less than forty years; in such a short time, it was impossible for him to reach the saint level in the mastery of the four arts. Even Tan Yun's renowned alchemical skill could not reach the low-level sacred alchemist stage!
One must understand that among them, those who rose to the positions of sacred alchemist, sacred artifact master, sacred talisman master, and sacred formation master all spent over a thousand years!
