Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 77

Chapter 77: The Empire’s First Golden Core?

“That Sect Master Su Bai of the Heavenly Dao Sect took advantage of your absence, Senior Brother. The defenses of Lingxiao Sect were weak, and he launched a surprise attack.”

“That guy has a very powerful Fire Qilin, possibly the mount of that genius from the Immortal Alliance. I was injured severely and unable to resist.”

The Supreme Elder of Lingxiao Sect looked at the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect, his tone weak.

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect instantly became furious!

“Cao Ni Ma, Su Bai!”

“Ah!”

He shouted, consumed by rage, disregarding the authority of the Nascent Soul, and couldn’t help but curse.

At the same time, the overwhelming aura of the Nascent Soul exploded forth, shocking everyone around.

“Junior Brother, what is the situation in Lingxiao Sect now?” he asked through gritted teeth.

“The Lingxiao Sect has completely collapsed; that Su Bai has stolen all our resources!”

“Later, when I secretly returned while Su Bai was away, I found that Lingxiao Mountain was gone, and the Spirit Veins had disappeared!”

“Senior Brother, the foundation of our Lingxiao Sect built over hundreds of years is utterly ruined!!”

The Supreme Elder of Lingxiao Sect began to report the situation, his tone filled with sorrow.

Upon hearing his report, the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and nearly fainted!

“Bastard!”

“Su Bai, you brat!”

“I, the Old Ancestor, will definitely destroy your entire Sect!”

The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect roared.

His eyes were bloodshot, akin to a mad beast, fixating intensely on the direction of the Heavenly Dao Sect. The people from Yuntian Sect and the Great Zhao Royal Family were momentarily taken aback by this scene. Soon after, they couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, silently exclaiming how impressive it was. They had directly destroyed the foundation of Lingxiao Sect!

As a result, the influence of Lingxiao Sect would undoubtedly be severely weakened! “Heavenly Dao Sect, if I don’t wipe you out, I swear I won’t be human!” The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect was furious, locking his gaze on the Flying Boat where the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect were located, and shouted angrily, “First, I’ll collect some interest! Kill!” He surged forward toward the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Flying Boat, intending to destroy it first.

“Here I come. How will you extinguish me?” At that moment, a faint voice echoed from the horizon. Following this, above the clouds, a radiant figure entirely enveloped in fiery red, exuding scorching flames appeared. It kicked out with a hoof, crashing down like Mount Tai falling upon the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect. It was none other than the Fire Qilin!

Boom! A tremendous explosion erupted, flames filling the sky! With that single hoof strike, the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect was immediately sent reeling back, spitting blood. After successfully landing the blow, the Fire Qilin proudly raised its hoof, showing a claw gesture to the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect.

The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect’s face turned red, his chest heaving violently, with the smell of charred flesh wafting up. Above in the sky, a figure in white robes descended step by step; with each step, the sound seemed to strike the heart of the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect.

“Boom!”

“Boom boom!”

The sound of footsteps echoed like thunder.

“Su Bai, you little brat!” The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect roared, wishing he could tear Su Bai to pieces.

“Master!!!”

“It’s really the Master!”

“Great! Great! The Master has arrived!”

Inside the Flying Boat, the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect were overjoyed to see Su Bai appear. Especially at that moment, Su Bai’s towering figure stirred everyone’s hearts. No wonder the Master chose to come later; it turned out he had seized the entire territory of the Lingxiao Sect! Such a god-defying achievement—who else in the entire Great Zhao could do that?

Su Bai’s expression was calm as he hovered in the void, looking down on everyone with indifference.

“The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Su Bai!”

The Sect Master of Yuntian Sect and the Great Zhao Emperor both fixed their eyes on Su Bai, with deep apprehension in their pupils.

In recent days, they had secretly tried to gather information on Su Bai, but they found nothing. This person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and not a trace of information could be uncovered. All they could ascertain was that this individual was extraordinarily powerful, unfathomable!

With a single move, he had annihilated the Golden Core power of Linglong Sect!

With another move, he had slain three Golden Core Daoists!

Three strikes, and even the Exalted Immortal from the Immortal Alliance dared to kill!

His power was at the Golden Core level… no, at the very least, Nascent Soul Level!

Not only was he incredibly powerful, but his audacity exceeded even his strength; he dared to kill the top disciple of the Immortal Alliance!

Furthermore, alongside him, there was even a Fire Qilin at the Nascent Soul Realm following him!

With such power, he was already subtly overshadowing the Lingxiao Sect!

“I’ll hold off the Fire Qilin; you go deal with that brat Su Bai!”

The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect was reckless as he spoke to his disciple Lingxiao.

“The sect’s revenge must be wiped clean with Su Bai’s life!”

“Today, even if it costs me my life, I won’t hold back!”

His eyes were filled with murderous intent and hatred as he charged towards the Fire Qilin, engaging in battle.

“Sect Master, should we take action?” the Grand Elder of Yuntian Sect said gravely.

“Do not act rashly!” Yun Zhi decisively refused.

“Now that Lingxiao Sect is half-destroyed and Heavenly Dao Sect is ambitious, if we act and suppress the momentum of Heavenly Dao Sect, our chances of competing for the Spirit Veins will significantly increase!” Yun Li continued.

“Still, we cannot act; the Sect Master of Heavenly Dao Sect, Su Bai, is unfathomable. If we rashly become enemies, it would be extremely disadvantageous for our Yuntian Sect!” Yun Zhi frowned and replied.

Although she also wanted to contend for the Spirit Veins, she had not lost her reason.

Facing an enemy with unknown strength, remaining still was the most sensible choice!

On the other side, after some debate among the royal faction, the Great Zhao Emperor glanced at the people of Yuntian Sect but refrained from taking action.

After all, at this moment, one wrong step could ruin everything!

Meanwhile, Lingxiao drew his great sword and slowly approached Su Bai.

“Su Bai, today, let this Daoist test your true strength!”

“If you are indeed at the Nascent Soul level, I will concede!”

“But if you are not, I will show you what the strongest Golden Core in the Empire is capable of!”

“Boom!”

With that, Lingxiao shot up into the air, charging towards Su Bai, exuding a terrifying sword intent.

“Nine Heavenly Slashes!”

With a loud shout, he swung his arm, transforming his movement into nine dazzling silver sword lights that surged towards Su Bai.

Each sword light was powerful enough to slay an average Golden Core Daoist!

This was the ultimate skill of Lingxiao Sect, and Lingxiao had mastered it completely!

As he watched the sword energy rush towards him, Su Bai merely smiled faintly.

The strongest Golden Core in the Empire?

Unmatched by the Nascent Soul?

Indeed, within the Great Zhao Empire, Lingxiao’s strength was already very formidable among his peers.

But in reality, he was leagues away from the limit of Golden Core Realm battle prowess!

Let’s not forget, he was only considered a genius in this territory of five thousand miles in Great Zhao!

Moreover, there were surely many others like Zhuge Feng, incredibly talented individuals without a background who were buried due to lack of resources to cultivate Immortal Techniques.

Lingxiao’s true talent might not even place him in the top ten within the Great Zhao! However, the continent is vast, and this mere Great Zhao is nothing more than a speck of dust. Moreover, the weapon in Lingxiao’s hand is still just an Intermediate Grade Spirit Artifact used by those in the Golden Core Realm! High Grade Spirit Artifacts are far too expensive! The Lingxiao Sect has two, but they belong to the two Nascent Soul Old Ancestors and are not yet available to Lingxiao. “Let me see just how much substance lies in the number one Golden Core of the Empire!” Su Bai said with a faint smile, as a Black Spear appeared in his hand and he thrust it forward in an instant.
