Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Becoming a Golden Core Before Twenty, Overcoming the Tribulation?

The Sacred Tiger Sect Elder’s words immediately caused an uproar, and everyone’s eyes turned toward the Heavenly Dao Sect.

If the Heavenly Dao Sect had falsified their disciple’s age, it wouldn’t just make them a laughingstock—it would result in disqualification and a ban from the rest of the Immortal Alliance Assembly!

Such an incident would be a severe blow to the Sect’s reputation!

For this reason, very few Sects would ever risk faking a disciple’s age. It simply isn’t necessary and is easy to detect.

After all, many Sect rivals often know their opponents’ disciples even better than their own members!

If the Heavenly Dao Sect had indeed faked the age of their disciple, there would definitely be something entertaining to watch today.

No, actually, whether or not there was cheating, this tournament was already the most entertaining one in history!

“I’m over a hundred years old?”

Xiao Yan almost laughed out loud. Of all things to doubt, they chose to question his age?

“You old guys from the Sacred Tiger Sect can’t train your disciples properly, so don’t blame the path for being uneven!”

Xiao Yan showed no politeness at all and fired back directly.

“You…”

The Sacred Tiger Sect Elder was furious. A formidable Divine Transformation expert like him had never been snapped back at by a junior before.

But before he could respond, he suddenly felt a deadly cold stare.

Looking up, he saw Su Bai standing silently with his hands behind his back, calmly observing him.

Stay calm!

The Sacred Tiger Sect Elder took a deep breath twice, suppressing his fury, then said, “My suspicion is reasonable. May I ask everyone here—don’t you want to know the true age of the Heavenly Dao Sect disciple?”

“If you think I am wrongly accusing the Heavenly Dao Sect, I will admit my mistake. But does the Heavenly Dao Sect dare to test their disciple’s age?”

As the Sacred Tiger Sect Elder spoke, those around him all nodded in agreement.

What they wanted to see wasn’t whether Xiao Yan was over a hundred years old, but rather, what his true age actually was!

Because Xiao Yan’s behavior and style seemed so arrogantly youthful, it didn’t at all fit the image of someone over a hundred years old.

Even a Divine Transformation Elder dared to directly challenge him!

And even if he had a Venerable backing him, wasn’t he afraid of assassination or ambush?

For a Divine Transformation expert to assassinate a Golden Core practitioner would be far too easy!

A Venerable might protect someone temporarily, but certainly not for a lifetime!

Many even suspected that Xiao Yan’s age was not just under a hundred, but possibly shockingly young!

“What am I afraid of?!” Xiao Yan smiled lightly, as if everything was under control.

“Hmph!” The Sacred Tiger Sect Elder sneered coldly at the corner of his mouth.

He then pulled a treasure sword from his Storage Ring. “This sword is called the Frost Sword; it is a high-grade Spirit Artifact!”

“If I am wrong, this sword will serve as compensation. But if my suspicion is correct…”

The Divine Transformation Elder’s eyes flashed sharply as he continued, “If my suspicion is correct, then you must take responsibility for injuring so many of my Sect’s talented disciples and perform self-execution here to atone!”

Generally, questioning someone’s age cannot be done lightly. It is disrespectful to another Sect and requires a price to be paid before such an accusation can be made.

Otherwise, if everyone just questioned each other, how could the tournament even proceed?

As for testing each disciple’s age upon entry—that’s simply impossible.

Because each activation of the Bone Age Testing Stone consumes one high-grade Spirit Stone.

With so many participants, nobody would be willing to bear such a cost.

“Hiss~”

Hearing the words of the Sacred Tiger Sect Divine Transformation Elder, everyone around gasped sharply.

The Sacred Tiger Sect Elder was basically sentencing the other party to death.

Xiao Yan, however, smiled. In his eyes, victory was guaranteed—this was equivalent to getting a high-grade Spirit Artifact for free.

Even if he couldn’t use it himself, selling it would fetch him a large sum of Spirit Stones!

“I’ll answe…” He was just about to agree when a figure appeared before him.

Looking up, he realized it was his Master.

“A high-grade Spirit Artifact just to exchange for my disciple’s life? Aren’t you taking that for granted?” Su Bai said coolly.

“What’s this? Is the Heavenly Dao Sect scared?” Seeing Su Bai intervene, the Sacred Tiger Sect Divine Transformation Elder only grew more certain of his suspicion.

“If you lose, you will also take your own life,” Su Bai said calmly.

“Ha! Me, take my own life? The life of a respected Divine Transformation Elder—how could it be comparable to that of a late-stage Golden Core junior?”

The Sacred Tiger Sect Divine Transformation Elder laughed loudly toward the sky, his laughter full of scorn.

“No, you’re wrong. I’m only here to prove that my disciple meets the age requirement.”

“As for your life—it means nothing to me!”Su Bai shook his head, his tone calm.

“You!” The Sacred Tiger Sect Elder was furious but didn’t dare to actually make a move.

“Heh, old man, didn’t you say you wanted to bet your life with me? So, are you willing to? Afraid now? Coward!” Xiao Yan mercilessly taunted.

The Sacred Tiger Sect Elder gritted his teeth, clenching his fists so tightly it seemed he wanted to tear Xiao Yan apart alive!

But he was powerless!

The Venerable was right there; he couldn’t even lay a finger on him.

Yet, the harder the other side pushed for him to take his own life, the more he suspected something was fishy!

They were trying to pressure him into stepping down out of guilt!

Yes, that had to be it!

Once the Sacred Tiger Sect Elder figured this out, he relaxed instead of worrying, sneering coldly, “You little beast, once I expose your trick, it’ll be your doom!”

“Enough nonsense. Are we betting or not? If not, then get lost!” Xiao Yan snapped fiercely.

“Hmph, fine! I’ll bet with you!” The Sacred Tiger Sect Divine Transformation Elder snorted coldly.

“Good, since both sides have agreed, let’s test the bone age!”

Venerable Xuan Ba spoke up. With a wave of his hand, a giant purple stone three meters tall descended from the sky, landing on the arena.

“Rumble!”

The giant purple stone slammed onto the platform, emitting a deafening roar.

“Test it!” Venerable Xuan Ba said calmly.

The Sacred Tiger Sect Elder snorted. With a wave of his hand, a high-grade spirit stone was fused into the Testing Stone.

“Whoosh!”

As the spirit stone entered the Testing Stone, it activated, emitting a beam of light, while a palm print appeared in the center.

“Kid, place your palm on it!” the Sacred Tiger Sect Elder said to Xiao Yan with a cold smile.

“You old beast, no need for your nonsense. I have eyes and can see for myself!” Xiao Yan snorted coldly as he strode forward and slapped his palm onto the purple Testing Stone.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of onlookers involuntarily fixed their gazes on him.

Everyone wanted to know: what was the actual bone age of Xiao Yan, the Heavenly Dao Sect’s prodigious disciple who had defeated eight Sacred Tiger Sect disciples one after another?

“Humming!”

The purple Testing Stone emitted a dazzling red light.

After a moment, the red light faded, revealing the final number.

Nineteen!!!

The moment they saw this number, all hundreds of thousands of cultivators stood up at once!

Everyone was stunned.

They stood there, dazed, shocked, and in disbelief—an array of emotions etched across their faces, the moment frozen in time.

Nineteen?!

They stared wide-eyed at the Bone Age Testing Stone, as if witnessing the most unbelievable event in the world, something they would remember for the rest of their lives.

“Damn it, no way! Achieving Golden Core before twenty and undergoing tribulation? I’m still playing with mud and bird eggs before I’m twenty!”
