Chapter 534: Chapter 533: Bai Ziyue is the Real Boss
"Senior, I..."
Sunx Mei’s face turned pale, cold sweat dripping profusely.
*The intense fear made her shiver all over, unable to speak.*
Steward Li, on the other hand, looked even more horrified, wishing he could hide in a corner where no one would notice him.
Bai Ziyue paid no attention to Sunx Mei standing beside him, and looked at Qiu Yuepiao, saying blandly, "You must remember that we do not provoke trouble, but we also do not fear it.
You belong to me, and no one may insult you lightly.
If anything happens, even if I am not here, you can ask for help from the brothers and sisters stationed at the Qingxu Sect in Cloud-piercing City. I will instruct them to take care of you.
As for them, someone will naturally come later, and how to deal with it is entirely up to your conscience."
Saying this, he gave a slight nod to Wang Tuijian, and the two of them moved, instantly slicing through the air and disappearing.
It was only then that everyone’s faces showed surprise and astonishment, and they began to discuss eagerly.
"Who are they really?
Did they actually manage to wipe out the Gou Family and the Sunx Family in such a short time?"
"I vaguely heard the sound from that communication talisman just now; it seemed like the Qingxu Sect took action?"
"One of the Four Great Immortal Sects, the Qingxu Sect? Hiss... No wonder, when the Qingxu Sect makes a move, let alone the Patriarchs of the Gou Family and the Sunx Family, who are just at the Four-star and Six-star Divine Realm level, even if they’re above Seven-star, they don’t stand a chance.
And just sending a communication talisman could prompt the Qingxu Sect to send someone to act, signifying that these two hold not a small status within the Qingxu Sect, right?"
"Then the question arises, who are they exactly?"
"Elder Bai? Senior Brother Tuijian? Hiss... I felt earlier that these names sounded familiar, isn’t this Senior Brother Tuijian the chief disciple of Qingxu Sect’s Sect Leader Wang Tuijian, the candidate for the next Sect Leader, who recently broke through to the Golden Core Realm level, True Monarch Tuijian?
And the other one, Elder Bai, could he be the legendary peerless alchemy genius from Qingxu Sect’s Pill Treasure Hall, Fourth-Grade Initial Stage Alchemist, Master Kunlun Bai Ziyue?
However, judging by the situation just now, True Monarch Tuijian seemed more respectful towards Elder Bai. Could it be that Master Kunlun Bai Ziyue’s status is even more prestigious than True Monarch Tuijian’s?"
...
The onlookers speculated in their hearts, all extremely excited.
The conflict, in their view, was truly exciting and worthwhile.
*Just the numerous backgrounds contested by Sunx Mei and Zhang Yaqiong earlier left them astounded, dazzled, never expecting that just because of a store, such a fierce battle would erupt.*
Initially, everyone thought that after Zhang Yaqiong gave in, the matter would naturally end with Sunx Mei’s great victory.
Who knew, at the crucial moment, the seemingly weak and unremarkable Qiu Yuepiao was backed by people even more shocking?
Elder of Qingxu Sect, the next Hall Master candidate for the Pill Treasure Hall, Fourth-Grade Initial Stage Alchemist... which of these identities was not more esteemed than a Six-star Divine Realm cultivator?
Not to mention, beside him, there was also the newly promoted Golden Core Realm True Monarch from Qingxu Sect, the candidate for the next Sect Leader, True Monarch Tuijian following him.
As expected, with just one order, misfortune befell the Gou Family and the Sunx Family... and the event turned out to be an earth-shattering reversal.
Truly beyond everyone’s expectations.
Today’s affair was too thrilling, coupled with the removal of two major Immortal Cultivation Clans from Cloud-piercing City, it would certainly spark countless discussions and likely spread throughout Cloud-piercing City in no time.
And the name of Kunlun Pavilion would surely fall into every cultivator’s ear, leaving a lasting impression, making them cautious not to offend.
...
Cloud-piercing City, Mingxuan Restaurant, elegant room.
Bai Ziyue, Wang Tuijian, were present. In addition to them, there were also Master Fushui, Master Jin Ting, Master Xuu Jin, and several others.
Among them, Master Xuu Jin was the very disciple who Master Fushui invited Bai Ziyue to treat in Blood Peak City.
Now, he had recovered, and looked in great spirits.
This time, Bai Ziyue had arranged the banquet to thank these people for helping him act.
"Thank you all for dealing with my matters, let me first toast everyone."
Bai Ziyue stood up, raised a glass of spirit wine, and drank it all in one go.
"Elder Bai is too courteous, it’s only natural for those from the same sect to assist each other."
Master Fushui said with a smile.
"Indeed, to be honest, if it wasn’t for Elder Bai back then, whether I’d still be alive is uncertain, let alone recovering fully without any impact on my cultivation.
Having the opportunity to contribute to Elder Bai this time, I feel grateful for him giving me a chance to repay this favor."
Beside him, Master Xuu Jin also stood up with a slightly respectful tone.
"Haha, this seems to make us distant."
Bai Ziyue laughed heartily, choosing not to dwell on it further.
*Immortal Cultivators were also people; people engaged in emotional exchanges, and such debts and repayments formed bonds.*
He hoped to make more friends.
After some small talk and a few rounds of drinks, ultimately, True Monarch Tuijian’s strength was the highest—reaching the Golden Core Realm—making everyone feel awe-inspired. Therefore, Master Fushui first looked at him with admiration and said, "The last time we met, I knew Senior Brother Tuijian would not be as the rumors outside claimed, wasting away after being severely injured by a Demon Cultivator.
But even so, I never expected that Senior Brother would have such great aspirations, able to endure nearly a hundred years of criticism in silence, painstakingly creating his own Cultivation Technique. Now, with this self-created Cultivation Technique, he has broken through the realm and formed a Golden Core.
This alone is something that only one with great perseverance and ambition can achieve.
Of course, within Qingxu Sect, there are quite a few who create their own Cultivation Techniques, but what truly makes me admire you, Senior Brother, is the high grade of the technique you have created, surpassing even our Qingxu Sect’s treasured technique, the Qingxu True Scripture.
At least at the Divine Realm Level, Senior Brother’s Cultivation Technique is unparalleled in the Cloud-piercing Mountain Range, blessing our Qingxu Sect for three thousand years, and giving our future disciples superior strength and foundation."
"The Cultivation Technique created by Senior Brother Tuijian is indeed world-shattering. Especially the ability to forge an Upper Three Grades Golden Core. In the Cloud-piercing Mountain Range, aside from the mysterious Nine-star Daoist Palace, I doubt any sect possesses a technique of the same level.
Senior Brother Tuijian forged a Second-grade Golden Core, making him the strongest in the Cloud-piercing Mountain Range.
Perhaps the first Primordial Spirit Realm Powerhouse in our Qingxu Sect will be Senior Brother Tuijian."
Master Jin Ting exclaimed repeatedly.
Among Immortal Cultivators, there was a widely accepted rumor that only those who formed an Upper Three Grades Pill, creating a true Golden Core, had the opportunity to pass through the great tribulation of heaven and earth smoothly, thus breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Realm Level.
And yet True Monarch Tuijian was the only known cultivator in the Cloud-piercing Mountain Range who had forged an Upper Third-Grade Golden Pill, and among that, a Second-grade Golden Core. As long as nothing unexpected happened in the middle, he had a very high chance of advancing to become a Primordial Spirit Realm Powerhouse in the future.
Even though they all valued Bai Ziyue very much, they admired and revered True Monarch Tuijian even more.
"You praise me too much.
However, in front of Elder Bai, I dare not take this credit.
The success of my Cultivation Technique does not come from myself, but from Elder Bai’s guidance.
If it weren’t for Elder Bai’s two instances of advice, especially the last time, when he nearly completed the entire perfection of my Cultivation Technique by himself, even if I had managed to create it, the grade would surely be much lower than it is now.
Moreover, it would have taken at least twenty more years.
Therefore, Elder Bai is the real maestro. I’m just a fortunate person blessed by Elder Bai, succeeding by luck alone."
True Monarch Tuijian spoke as he once again bowed to Bai Ziyue, saying earnestly.
"What?"
"Your Cultivation Technique was completed with Elder Bai’s guidance?"
The others were immediately shocked, looking incredulously at Bai Ziyue.
A Cultivation Technique capable of forming an Upper Three Grades Golden Core, how precious was it? How superior? Even their Sect Leader, whose Immortal Technique Realm had reached the Mid-Stage Golden Core Realm, would not dare to lightly claim he could offer guidance.
And yet, this Cultivation Technique was perfected in Bai Ziyue’s hands?
"I was just in the right place at the right time."
Bai Ziyue did not deny it, speaking calmly.
The others were immediately stunned, speechless.
They hadn’t expected it all to be true.
"I remember Elder Bai once searched for various Divine Realm Level Cultivation Techniques and began creating his own technique.
Now, Elder Bai’s Immortal Technique Realm has reached the Mid-Stage Divine Realm Level, but has the technique been completed? What level has it reached?"
Master Fushui couldn’t help but ask.
To avoid unnecessary complications, Bai Ziyue had only revealed his Mid-Stage Divine Realm Level Immortal Technique Realm in front of Qingxu Sect disciples.
After all, soaring directly to the Peak of Divine Realm in such a short time was indeed too astonishing.
"Without forming a core, we ultimately do not know the grade."
Bai Ziyue smiled.
*Some things are better kept secret from others, as it may not necessarily be a good thing once known.*
*He had too many secrets; just the fact of having achieved Primordial Acupoint Perfection would probably cause a commotion, so naturally, he didn’t want to be too conspicuous.*
He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Wasn’t Master Fushui always patrolling near Blood Peak City for Demon Cultivators? How come Master Jin Ting also came to Cloud-piercing City this time?"
"Elder Bai must have already heard about the Fifth-Grade Spirit Meridian emerging in Cloud-piercing City, right?"
Seeing Bai Ziyue unwilling to discuss further, Master Fushui didn’t insist. He nodded solemnly and asked in a deep voice.
"That’s right, and accompanying it seems there are also rumors of the Demon Sect Mountain Gate being right above that Fifth-Grade Spirit Meridian."
Bai Ziyue nodded, he said.
*This was indeed something that made him quite terrified.*
*If this were true, it would indeed make him and others, like Master Giant Axe who traveled with him, break out in a cold sweat.*
After all, in the Demon Sect’s lair, there would surely be a multitude of powerhouses. Even demon cultivators at the Golden Core Realm might outnumber just one or two. With his strength at that time, dealing with the Soul-controlling Demon Monarch was already challenging. If one or two more were added, he would likely be unable to escape calamity.
