240: Goodbye Black Robe

In an instant, the world changed color.

The immense pressure of the Great Seal instantly enveloped all the Black Robed People!

They were all in a panic, only the leading Black Robed Person remained calm.

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? This person's Qi intensity is at most just entering the Dao Body Realm, he can't possibly defy the heavens, can he?!"

"Break for me!!!"

In an instant, the sky tilted and the earth overturned!

The immortal sword in the Black Robed People leader's hand continuously flipped, and the surging Sword Qi shot straight out, soaring across the sky!

Endless Sword Qi enveloped the Great Seal, quickly submerging it completely.

"Hmph, mere parlor tr—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the Black Robed People leader's eyes suddenly widened.

The endless Sword Qi was instantly torn apart, and the Great Seal, its momentum unchecked, struck him!

"Pfft!"

The Black Robed People leader's clothes and hair were disheveled, and fresh blood splattered.

At the same time, the Dao Lotus beneath his Dao Body also gradually began to crack!

One!

Two!

Three!

...

Until finally, his Dao Body also showed dense cracks, completely turning into dust!

"You... how is this possible?!"

"I am a Dao Lotus fifth-layer, possessing six lives!"

"How can you?! You..."

The Black Robed People leader's lips constantly moved, but he could no longer make any sound.

He died!

The scene shocked everyone present, especially the remaining Black Robed People!

They wanted to retreat, but the Formation they had previously set up became their obstacle.

Under Xuan Yu's command, many Mystic Cloud Mountain Cultivators quickly launched a counterattack!

And you, after instantly killing the remaining three Black Robed People with the highest Cultivation, pretended to be profound and stood still.

Time passed bit by bit.

The Black Robed People successively died at the hands of the Mystic Cloud Mountain Cultivators.

And as Mystic Cloud Mountain became safe, you could clearly feel your Cultivation continuously improving.

Although you still didn't know what your current Realm was, you knew that this method was effective.

The feedback brought by the Power of Leadership indeed worked; even if you couldn't absorb the Spiritual Qi and Dao Yuan in the air, it could still allow your Cultivation to continue to improve.

After the great battle, you "successfully retreated" and returned to your attendant Immortal Cave.

And Xuan Yu, the Grand Elder of Mystic Cloud Mountain, came to find you immediately.

"Greetings, Senior."

You nodded slightly, your demeanor in every gesture revealing your "unfathomable" nature.

Seeing this, Xuan Yu's respect grew even deeper; your unknown Cultivation Realm was clearly regarded by him as an extremely profound existence.

"Senior, you are truly demeaning yourself by staying in this outer sect Immortal Cave. Why not come to my Xuanxiao Peak to Cultivate? The Dao Yuan there is much more abundant than here."

Upon hearing this, you merely shook your head gently.

After all, you currently couldn't absorb Spiritual Qi and Dao Yuan, so Cultivating anywhere was the same.

Afterward, you asked Xuan Yu about the Cultivation Realms after Dao Yuan.

He was first stunned, and although he didn't understand why you would ask such a question, he still explained it to you.

He stated that Cultivators, after introducing Dao Yuan into their bodies, naturally became Dao Yuan Realm Cultivators.

And after Dao Yuan was tempered to a certain extent, they could condense it into a Dao Body.

At this time, the Dao Body could help Cultivators do many things, including but not limited to Cultivation and combat.

And after the Dao Body, came the Dao Lotus.

Every additional Dao Lotus a Cultivator condensed beneath their Dao Body would raise their Realm by one, and at the same time, each Dao Lotus was an extra life for the Cultivator.

However...

Many Dao Lotus could be condensed, but in this region, no one had truly completed the condensation of all Dao Lotus.

Naturally, no one had broken through to a Realm above the Dao Lotus.

"Hmm? Could it be that no Cultivator in this world has broken through beyond the Dao Lotus?"

"Uh... Senior, of course there are."

"Recently, there's you, and further back, there might be Senior Fang Xiao and Senior Qi Sea. They are knowledgeable and have left this region to travel outside."

"So they might know the Realms beyond the Dao Lotus."

Upon hearing this, you frowned deeply.

You were now completely certain that the Cultivation path you were on had no relation to this world.

If you continued to stay here, you might be able to rely on the Power of Leadership to continuously improve your Realm, but in terms of both speed and strength, it would be inferior.

It's just...

Where did the Cultivation path you were on originate from?

A hint of doubt flashed in your eyes.

You had read various ancient texts of Mystic Cloud Mountain.

And according to what they recorded, you clearly knew that outside of this Supreme Dao Pearl, there was only one world.

However, this world was very, very large, so large that even the authors of the texts had only explored a fraction of it.

After pondering for a moment, you finally decided to first visit Fang Xiao and Qi Sea, as mentioned by Xuan Yu, to see if you could discover anything new from them.

The 130,002nd year.

You quietly left Mystic Cloud Mountain and embarked on a new journey.

The 130,100th year.

Following the records in the ancient texts and Xuan Yu's descriptions, you traveled all the way, quickly passing through mountains and arriving at a market town where Cultivators gathered.

You saw Fang Xiao, as mentioned by Xuan Yu.

This person had a pale, beardless face, and his Cultivation was unfathomable, far surpassing Xuan Yu.

"Perhaps I can glean some useful information from him."

Your heart stirred, and you immediately went to Fang Xiao's Immortal Cave, intending to speak with him face-to-face.

But just then, it got dark.

You were first stunned, and then as you looked up, you discovered those familiar Black Robed People.

They had set up a Formation identical to the one in Mystic Cloud Mountain, and it was now enveloping the market town!

"What's going on? Why are they using such methods against other factions too?"

You muttered to yourself.

Initially, you thought these Black Robed People had some grudge against Mystic Cloud Mountain, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Your heart stirred, and you immediately concealed yourself on the outskirts of the market town, beginning to observe everything here.

The market town was in chaos until Fang Xiao appeared, which calmed everyone down.

"Greetings, Emissary."

Fang Xiao bowed respectfully.

"Not bad, you are much more sensible than the others."

"The matter we agreed upon back then, have you prepared for it all these years?"
