Book 4: Chapter 5: I Am In The Qi Refining Stage, Even The Opponent Recognizes It!
Although all the major sects on the scene wanted to occupy this Wise Immortal Mansion by themselves, the ancient city was won by the joint efforts of the Righteous Alliance and the Evil Alliance. Moreover, Bai Qiuran was watching.
In this cultivation world, it’s necessary to have a heel role like Evil Sect in order to maintain the Righteous Alliance’s cognition closer to the righteous path in its overall thinking.
Nearly a thousand years ago, the war between Righteous and the Evil had not yet been carried out. When the Evil Sects were rampant, these three sects left corpses all along their way. Even the most “gentle” of them, Ghost Spirit Sect, there was no grave left in the place where they pa.s.sed.
The fact Bai Qiuran befriended Huangfu Feng, supported Su Xiangxue in the upper position, and established diplomatic relations with the old men of the Ghost Spirit Sect, had already limited the damage that the Evil Sects could cause to the greatest extent.
Therefore, Bai Qiuran could not allow the power of the Righteous Alliance to grow uncontrollably, otherwise, the Evil Sects would be eliminated, and then the Righteous Alliance would inevitably start to rotten from the inside. This was due to the nature of human beings, even cultivators were no exception.
So everyone waited for a few days, and when the farthest one Ghost Spirit Sect also brought the disciples to gather, the elders of all the sects sent the disciples into the Immortal Mansion.
In the ancient city, the elders of the various sects performed their abilities, either controlling the flying sword or using a piece of clouds,… to bring the disciples to the height of several miles on the sky. This was the closest distance they could approach the inverted mountain.
Going forward, cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage would be attacked by the thunder summoned by the mansion, so the elders stopped here. The five sects of the Righteous Alliance grouped together, so did the three sects of the Evil Alliance. The sky was shining on the side of the Righteous Alliance and was overcast on the side of the Evil Alliance.
The elders began to give their disciples one last notice. Bai Qiuran noticed that Jue Yunzi, with a swollen nose and a swollen face, gave some talismans to Qing Danying, who was standing in front of him with her head high, and Liu Chengyin, who has cultivated for the longest time among the disciples in the Nascent Soul Stage. It’s probably mean to protect their lives.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Qiuran also called Tang Ruowei over, and quietly gave her three jade slips.
“This is something that Mystery Academy has just developed based on the Earth Immortal Teleportation Array not long ago. Inside this, there is a small s.p.a.ce, where three of my sword beam sealed inside.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“If you encounter a danger that can’t be solved, throw these three jade slips out… Remember, the attack range is ten meters in radius with the point the jade slips landing as the center. My sword beam doesn’t recognize friend or foe, so be careful when using it.”
Just after he instructed Tang Ruowei and let her go back to the team, Su Xiangxue brought You Meiqiao to find him again. The peerless beauty wearing a veil looked at Bai Qiuran up and down twice, and then pushed You Meiqiao forward and said to Bai Qiuran:
“This is my apprentice.”
Bai Qiuran nodded.
“I know.”
“Ok.”
Su Xiangxue turned her head and said to You Meiqiao:
“If you meet him after entering, follow his instructions…”
“What are you saying?”
Bai Qiuran said seriously:
“I won’t go in… How can I compete with juniors for opportunities?”
Su Xiangxue gave him a white look, and then said to You Meiqiao:
“It is inevitable that what you have encountered some illusions created in the cave. I will teach you a few ways to identify him…”
When people lived for a long time, they couldn’t avoid talking too much. The elders of the sect have instructed the disciples for a long time and finally watched them fly toward the upside-down mountain with their magic tools.
Along the way, the mansion’s Tribulation Formation did not respond, and the disciples approached the top of the mountain unharmed. A few meters away from the top of the mountain, s.p.a.ce suddenly appeared like ripples.
The figures of the disciples disappeared into these ripples as if they had entered another world, and no one could be seen on the upside-down mountain.
Seeing that the disciples entered the s.p.a.ce of the cave mansion without incident, the elders of the sects present were all relieved.
“Everyone, let’s pull up the barrier.”
After regaining his gaze, Jue Yunzi dully suggested.
“Ok.”
Ji Lingyun looked unharmed, but he was gasping when he moved.
“This is the first time in my life that I agree with your b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s proposal. I want to go back and lie down now…”
The other sect elders also nodded, and Bai Qiuran said at this moment:
“Wait, I want to go in too.”
“Oh?”
Su Xiangxue smiled and said:
“Who just said that he won’t compete with the juniors for opportunities?”
“The wind is too big, I can’t hear youuuu–”
Bai Qiuran stretched out his voice, drew out his ears and replied pretentiously, and then said seriously:
“Do me a favor, everyone. Whether I can build the foundation in my life may depend on this one.”
“Ok.”
Elder Xu of Mystery Academy leaned over and handed Bai Qiuran a spike similar to the black prism held by the Land Immortal before.
“Then… Sword Patriarch, please carry this thing. This is the latest research result copied by Mystery Academy from the materials of the Ancient City. It retains the original characteristics while preventing the invasion of souls. This thing is very difficult to make. We currently only have this one besides the prototype.”
Bai Qiuran took it and said:
“Thank me for the kindness of the dean Qiu Yuxuan, although I think the Land Immortal should not be able to invade my soul… After all, I don’t even have a Deity Soul.”
The elders looked at each other, and then Li Pengfei of Jade Tower said again:
“Of course we have to help you… but Sword Patriarch, although your cultivation level is low, your strength is superb, will you really not trigger the thunder if you enter?”
“Who cares.”
Bai Qiuran waved:
“It’s not that I haven’t struck by lightning before. If I can build a foundation, let alone withstand a bit of thunder, even if there are hordes of Immortals in front of me, I will go there!”
“Great!”
Jue Yunzi clapped his hands loudly:
“Then Uncle Ancestor, please depart!”
“Don’t say it if you can’t say good things!”
Bai Qiuran kicked him away, then looked around and jumped to Su Xiangxue’s side.
“Lend me a foothold.”
“What……”
Su Xiangxue sighed helplessly, took out the jade music instrument, pulled a string, and played it lightly.
Hum——
The melodious sound floated out, and the water vapor in the surrounding clouds was suddenly gathered and condensed into a five-meter-square thick ice platform, suspended in the clouds.
Bai Qiuran leaped lightly, jumped from the clouds of the surrounding cultivators to the ice platform, and then pushed slightly under his feet, and his figure suddenly raised.
boom!
The ice platform was crushed into small ice crystals by him, while his own body flew high, flying towards the top of the hanging mountain in the sky. Others looked up at him and kept watching him, just like the previous disciple, causing a wave-like spatial fluctuation a few meters from the top of the mountain and entering another world.
“There is no thunder…”
After a while, Weichen Master Monk touched his head and couldn’t help saying:
“It seems that this Immortal Mansion really recognizes that Sword Patriarch is in the Qi Refining stage. I don’t know whether he is happy or sad about that.”
“It’s so good, so good.”
Ji Lingyun and Huangfu Feng also looked up at the sky. After seeing Bai Qiuran’s figure disappeared, Huangfu Feng said to himself:
“It would be great if our Evil Alliance also had such a man with low cultivation level but combat power is out of the chart, don’t you think? Miss Su, ghostly old man.”
