Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Pinnacle Battle, Heavenly Dao Sect Advances (Fourth Update)

“In Southern Xuan Prefecture, a Golden Core cultivator has defied all odds and defeated a Nascent Soul practitioner—a true prodigy who goes against the heavens!”

“Nineteen years old and already defeating a Nascent Soul! My god, give him another eight or ten years, and it’s unimaginable how far he’ll rise!”

“If this young man advances to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, he will surely sweep through all his peers in Southern Xuan Prefecture!”

For a moment, countless people buzzed with excitement and awe in their voices.

A Golden Core going head-to-head with a Nascent Soul cultivator was already exceedingly rare, but Xiao Yan’s victory was even more impressive!

A sixth-layer Golden Core vying against a Nascent Soul at just under a hundred years old on the first layer!

What an astonishing and unparalleled talent!

Even a Grand Venerable’s resources could not sum it up—this Xiao Yan might possess the supreme talent necessary to leap all the way to Heavenly Venerable!

The Heavenly Venerable level!

Looking across the entire Southern Xuan Prefecture, in thousands of years, not a single Heavenly Venerable had ever been born!

Yet, upon the emergence of this prodigy with Heavenly Venerable potential, the five great Venerables of Southern Xuan Prefecture showed no joy.

Because this person was a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, not one of theirs!

“Join Southern Heavenly Gate, and you can become my direct disciple. I will grant you a set of top-grade Spirit Artifacts and teach you the unrivaled Immortal Techniques of Southern Heavenly Gate!”

A Southern Heavenly Gate Venerable spoke, his offer irresistibly tempting, stirring envy among disciples from many other sects.

A Venerable’s true disciple!

A full set of top-grade Spirit Artifacts!

The supreme Immortal Techniques of Southern Heavenly Gate!

Each one was the pinnacle of honor and treasure, driving people wild with desire.

“Join our Sacred Eagle Sect. I will take you as my sole disciple, grant you a set of supreme Spirit Artifacts, and provide you annually with one hundred high-grade Spirit Stones for your cultivation!”Another Venerable spoke up.

“Join my Sacred Lion Sect, and not only will you be my direct disciple, but you will also be the future head of the Sacred Lion Sect. Besides top-grade Spirit Artifacts and Spirit Stones, I’ll give you a hundred stunning beauties!”

“Come to my Sacred Roc Sect. On top of their offers, I will personally protect your path, ensuring you grow smoothly into a Venerable!”

Several other Venerables from the dominant powers of Southern Xuan Prefecture quickly spoke up, throwing out incredibly generous temptations.

Disciples from every sect went mad—these conditions were beyond anything they’d ever dared to dream of!

“Join our Dominating Heaven Sect. Our Old Ancestor will personally take you as his disciple, granting you unparalleled status. You will cultivate under our Dominating Heaven Technique!”

Even Venerable Xuan Ba couldn’t hold back and joined in. Such an extraordinary prodigy, if he could be recruited, would surely have an unlimited future.

But it was clear Xiao Yan was unmoved by all this.

Your sect’s Immortal Techniques can compete with those of the Heavenly Dao Sect?

Spirit Stones? Does he lack those?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression indifferent: “Sorry, I already belong to a sect. I will never join any other force in this lifetime!”

Venerable Xuan Ba’s face darkened.

The other five Venerables also looked displeased, a deadly intent already flickering in their eyes.

Such a talent—if we cannot have him, then…

“Gentlemen, isn’t it a bit excessive to fight over my disciple right in front of me?”

Su Bai appeared before Xiao Yan, blocking the view of the major Venerables.

Seeing Su Bai arrive, the Venerables snorted, closed their eyes, and fell silent.

“Announce the competition results!”

Su Bai then looked calmly toward the Chief Judge Elder of the Dominating Heaven Sect and spoke.

The Chief Judge Elder heard this and quickly spoke respectfully, “Disciple Battle, Heavenly Dao Sect, complete victory!”

“Main battle, begin now…….”

Before he could finish speaking, a voice sounded out: “I, the Sacred Tiger Sect, concede!”

The speaker was a Venerable of the Sacred Tiger Sect. He gave Su Bai a deep look, then said, “The Sacred Tiger Sect directly applies for a Pinnacle Battle!”

“Whoa!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in excitement.

A Pinnacle Battle!

To face a Pinnacle Battle in the first round of the elimination match!

It was just a pity that battles between Venerables normally took place in the Void Realm. They couldn’t investigate, so they could only wait for the outcome.

“Let’s make it quick. There are more important matters—I’m pressed for time!” Su Bai said calmly, tearing open the void and entering the Void Realm.

“Hmph!”

The Venerable from the Sacred Tiger Sect also stepped into the Void Realm. He was at the Fourth Layer of the Void Refinement Realm, far stronger than Venerable Heavenly Kun.

“Heh heh, I have a secret treasure that can project battles happening in the Void Realm,” Venerable Xuan Ba chuckled, pulling out a jet-black mirror and beginning to chant spells to activate his treasure.

On the surface, it looked like he wanted to broadcast the battle to everyone, but in reality, he was trying to learn more about Su Bai’s strength!

Slaughtering Heavenly Kun Venerable instantaneously? He was willing to pay any price to see it.

He wanted to know just how powerful Su Bai really was!

However, just as his incantation was complete, the void shattered again, and two figures emerged.

Su Bai’s white robe was immaculate, not a speck of dust or damage, his face calm and smiling.

In contrast, the Venerable from the Sacred Tiger Sect appeared in tatters—his clothes were shredded, his hair disheveled, and he looked utterly disheveled.

A careful observer would notice that before entering, the Sacred Tiger Sect Venerable had three Storage Rings on his fingers. But when he emerged, all ten of his fingers were completely bare!

“So… so fast!”

Venerable Xuan Ba’s pupils contracted slightly. This battle ended far too quickly!

The time taken was still… less than three breaths!

The Sacred Tiger Sect Venerable was much stronger than Venerable Heavenly Kun, yet he couldn’t even last three breaths!

He asked himself honestly: even using every ounce of his potential at a great cost, could he defeat the Sacred Tiger Sect Venerable within three breaths?

The answer was no!

The other Grand Venerables also felt a heavy weight settle in their hearts, growing increasingly wary of Su Bai’s strength.

To slay Venerable Heavenly Kun at the Second Layer of Void Refinement in under three breaths!

To defeat the Fourth Layer Venerable of the Sacred Tiger Sect within three breaths!

Such a defiance of natural order was terrifying beyond measure!

Slaying Venerable Heavenly Kun and beating the Sacred Tiger Sect Venerable wasn’t even the most shocking part—the most terrifying thing was the timeframe!

Three breaths!

They couldn’t even imagine what his upper limit might be!

“May the result be announced?” Su Bai asked calmly, his gaze fixed on the Chief Judge Elder.

“Y-Yes!” The Chief Judge Elder trembled all over and nodded instinctively.

“The first round elimination match between the Sacred Tiger Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect—the Heavenly Dao Sect wins!”

“The Sacred Tiger Sect is eliminated; the Heavenly Dao Sect advances to the next round!” The Chief Judge Elder’s voice shook as he announced the result.

Silence fell over the crowd. This Immortal Alliance Assembly in Southern Xuan Prefecture was truly explosive.

The Sacred Tiger Sect, who had ranked in the top five last time, was now eliminated in the very first match of the first round!

However, a stronger sect had stepped up to take their place.

Many people were secretly wondering how far this newly established sect could go in the competition!

After advancing, Xiao Yan returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect’s resting area, while Su Bai remained standing where he was.

He looked toward Venerable Xuan Ba, folding his hands behind his back, a faint smile appearing on his face.

“Heavenly Dao Sect won. Will you pay the tenfold spirit stones now, or should I personally come to demand them from your Dominating Heaven Sect?”
