108: Go to Jinyang Sect, and become the god Liu Baichi
“That’s good then.”
After they exchanged pleasantries for a while,
Chen Xuan directly stated the purpose of his visit.
Upon hearing this, Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi immediately patted his chest, guaranteeing that he would handle everything.
“Young friend, rest assured. Once I suppress the Nascent Soul Realm Grand Elders of those three sects and place a Restriction on their Divine Souls, everything will fall into place naturally.”
For Demonic Path forces,
their specialties were Soul Searching techniques and Sealing techniques.
Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi thought that Chen Family Old Ancestor Chen Xuan might be planning for the future.
After the Blood Demon Sect withdrew from the Chen Family and returned to their original stronghold in the western part of the Northern Barrens, the Chen Family would inevitably have to face those three Soul Transformation forces again.
At that time, without assistance, it would be difficult to suppress and subdue them again.
Relying on the Chen Family and Chen Family Old Ancestor, it might require some extra effort.
Now, with all members of their Blood Demon Sect here,
Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi didn't even need to personally intervene; he could send his Void Heaven Palace Disciples to easily fulfill Chen Xuan’s wish.
Of course, since Chen Xuan had come to him,
Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi decided to make the trip himself.
It was a good chance to get some fresh air.
Staying in this remote place for too long was still very unaccustomed.
Thus, a streak of light rose from the Chen Family,
heading straight towards the Golden Sun Sect, which was the closest to the north.
Inside the streak of light was a Flying Sword, with Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi and Chen Xuan standing one in front and one behind.
Chen Xuan’s escape speed was relatively slow.
Therefore, Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi carried him, allowing them to reach their destination faster.
At this moment, inside the Golden Sun Sect, it was still as quiet and peaceful as usual.
The people within the sect were unaware that a powerful enemy was about to arrive.
At the mountainside of the Golden Sun Sect's peak, a powerful aura suddenly appeared, spreading in all directions.
Immediately after, a figure was seen flying from below into the sky.
“Soul Transformation Realm, finally!”
A suppressed look of joy also appeared on Liu Baichi’s face.
A Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator could live for five thousand years.
He was currently less than five hundred years old.
He still had plenty of time to assault higher Realms.
Proving the Dao of longevity was absolutely not an illusion.
Soon, figures gathered towards Liu Baichi.
The first to arrive was Liu Baichi’s Revered Master, Huang Tianqi, whose cultivation was also in the Soul Transformation Realm.
Upon his approach, he respectfully saluted Huang Tianqi.
“Disciple, greets Revered Master!”
Huang Tianqi scrutinized Liu Baichi.
A complex expression couldn't help but appear on his face.
This Disciple of his,
had actually broken through to the Soul Transformation Realm so quietly, which was truly unexpected.
He had only broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm less than ten years ago, right?
With such cultivation speed, if there hadn't been a Chen Xuan in the Chen Family,
Liu Baichi would likely have taken his place as a prominent Prodigy in the Qilian Mountains and even the Northern Barrens.
Crossing a major Realm in ten years.
What an abnormal Prodigy.
In the past, it was simply unimaginable.
But now,
compared to Chen Xuan, who broke through from the Early Stage Nascent Soul Realm to the Soul Transformation Realm in three years,
Liu Baichi was still a bit weaker.
“Not bad!”
“Both you and I, Revered Master and Disciple, have broken through to Soul Transformation. From now on, the Golden Sun Sect will surely stand firm!”
Such great news also diluted Huang Tianqi’s recent worries and frustrations.
The worries were due to the various forces that had poured into the southern region of the Qilian Mountains because of the sudden appearance of the Void Heaven Palace.
The frustration was that the Cultivator market built by their Golden Sun Sect in alliance with the Chen Family, Yang Family, and Yunxi Sect, ultimately became a wedding dress for others.
As for the one-tenth profit left for their four forces,
it was purely insulting.
No matter how many resources that one-tenth profit represented,
the four forces would not ask for it.
Not only would it be demeaning, but if they ate such bones casually thrown by others, the backbone of their forces would break.
Besides this, the Chen Family also made Huang Tianqi worried.
Earlier, he had ridiculously gone to the Chen Family to seek Chen Family Old Ancestor Chen Xuan, wanting to join forces with him to destroy the Yang Family and Yunxi Sect.
But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the shocking news spread that the other party had killed Kunwu Sect’s Late Stage Returning Void Realm Grand Elder Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan with a single sword strike.
Late Stage Returning Void Realm.
What kind of concept was that?
What kind of existence was that?
It was something their Golden Sun Sect couldn't even look directly at. If the troublesome Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan had gone to their Golden Sun Sect instead of the Chen Family,
the Golden Sun Sect would probably no longer exist.
Not to mention the later news that the Blood Demon Sect, a large Returning Void force in the Northern Barrens, had befriended the Chen Family.
Although the Blood Demon Sect was labeled as a Demonic Path force,
it was still a large force, with three great Returning Void Realm Cultivators overseeing it, possessing extraordinary strength.
The Chen Family,
was clearly a deeply hidden behemoth.
It was simply not on the same level as their Golden Sun Sect, the Yang Family, and the Yunxi Sect.
Huang Tianqi initially worried whether the Chen Family would make a move to destroy their Golden Sun Sect.
Later, he had a change of thought: since they were so powerful, why would they bother with their small Golden Sun Sect?
He was probably overthinking it.
Just like their Golden Sun Sect, they would not causelessly destroy a Golden Core force.
There was no great necessity.
Instead, it would be like a tiger eating a fly—not much meat, and it might also get labeled as a Demonic Path force by other forces, causing a lot of trouble.
After Sect Leader Zhao Hong, Yang Dingtian, Zheng Xun, and others arrived, they all congratulated Liu Baichi.
“Congratulations, Elder Liu, on successfully proving the Dao of Soul Transformation and ascending to the position of Grand Elder.”
Liu Baichi did not dare to be arrogant.
He returned the bow.
Then, Sect Leader Zhao Hong also looked at Huang Tianqi.
“Elder Huang, since Elder Liu has broken through to the Soul Transformation Realm, do we need to hold a banquet and invite guests from all directions to celebrate?”
Before Huang Tianqi could speak,
Liu Baichi responded first, directly refusing.
“Sect Master, there’s no need to trouble yourself for me.”
“Now is a chaotic time in the Qilian Mountains; everything should be kept simple to avoid attracting disaster.”
“If I, Liu, am fortunate enough to break through to the Returning Void Realm one day, it won’t be too late to set up a banquet and invite guests from all directions.”
Breaking through to the Returning Void Realm.
How easy was that?
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Zhao Hong was first stunned, then responded jokingly.
“In that case, this Old Man will first wish Elder Liu an early Dao of Returning Void.”
“Hahaha, then I’ll borrow the Sect Master’s auspicious words.”
Liu Baichi’s hearty voice had just fallen when his face, originally full of joy, suddenly changed drastically.
He turned to look south, his expression incredibly solemn, his brows tightly furrowed.
Huang Tianqi was the same.
Sect Leader Zhao Hong and the other two didn’t understand, but they could see the abnormality from the two men’s serious expressions, and they also followed their gaze to look south.
“What a powerful Divine Sense!”
“The arrival is probably a Returning Void Realm Cultivator!”
What!
Returning Void Realm!
As Huang Tianqi’s voice fell, the faces of Sect Leader Zhao Hong and the other two instantly turned incredibly pale.
They stared intently at the due south, their hearts filled with unease.
Miscellaneous thoughts flew through their minds.
Which force’s Returning Void Realm Cultivator was visiting?
Was it a friend or foe?
If it was an enemy, how should their Golden Sun Sect respond?
