The black clouds surged and then gradually dispersed. Revealing a thin middle-aged man, with terrifying killing intent.
A Demonic Cultivator!
Suddenly, exclamations sounded one after another, and many people’s faces showed their extreme shock.
Demonic Cultivators are notorious. Although these cultivators are not at odds with them, the relationship between the two parties is not harmonious.
They rarely appear together at the same time!
What’s his intention in coming to the Nascent Soul Gathering at Blue Cloud Mountain?
In particular, this Demonic Cultivator turned out to be an Expert of the Core Formation Stage.
This is enough to shock the cultivators present here. As we all know, Demon Cultivation may have some advantages, but it’s also quite bad.
In the lower levels, the progress is indeed very fast and even achieving the Foundation Establishment is much easier than the orthodox way. However, in further training, there will be many hidden dangers, and one’s speed will also be slowed down, especially in the Core Formation Stage. It’s very hard for Demonic Cultivators to achieve it. The success rate is even only one-fifth of the ordinary cultivators.
In the Immortal World, there is a saying that Demonic Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage are common, but those in the Core Formation Stage are hard to find.
Demonic Cultivators have difficulty achieving Core Formation, but once successful, their strength is better than those of the same level, their cultivation techniques are often very powerful.
Seeing that the other is an Expert of the Core Formation Stage, the two Foundation Establishment Stage disciples of Blue Cloud Mountain felt a little worried. But fortunately, a voice came into their ears: “You two, step back.”
“Yes, Uncle Master.”
Like hearing an amnesty, the two respectfully and immediately returned to the crowd. A middle-aged man wearing a white robe and possessing only one arm greeted him. Although he lacked a left hand, no one dared to look down on him. The voice came over:
“My God! It’s Taibai Sword Immortal! “
“In Blue Cloud Mountain, he’s only second to Nascent Soul Stage Experts.”
“I heard that this person despises evil, the Demonic Cultivator ran out of luck.”
…
Lin Xuan also changed his expression, the name Taibai Sword Immortal. He has already heard about it when he was in Spirit Pill Mountain. It’s not because of how famous he is, but that his position in Blue Cloud Mountain caught his attention.
The Elder in charge of the Medicine Garden!
Since he came here, the security of the Medicine Garden is much weaker.
Although his heart was moved, but Lin Xuan retreated at the thought of the terrifying power of the Seven Color Sword Array. That is a terrifying Formation that even Core Formation Stage cultivators wouldn’t survive. Lin Xuan doesn’t want to joke about his own life!
As for the arrival of the Demonic Cultivator, Lin Xuan was optimistic about his success. He hoped that an accident would happen at this Nascent Soul Gathering. The more chaotic, the better, and he’d have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!
Other cultivators had similar thoughts. Of course, they are not like Lin Xuan, with his unruly ideas. After all, there’s only a few who would dare to pull out the teeth from the tiger’s mouth.
These people just don’t want Blue Cloud Mountain to be dominant. And hope that some embarrassing situation would emerge and sweep their prestige.
However, things backfired. They originally thought that Taibai Sword Immortal would be filled with enmity, and would enter a conflict with the uninvited Demonic Cultivator. But he only glanced at that person with a dignified look, and then actually invited him to sit.
The people present looked at each other with shocked expressions. Of course. No one would stand out stupidly, but the heads of Yixian Valley and Thunder Cloud Mountain watched with a sneer on their faces.
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and started to ponder.
When the two men spoke, they placed an anti sound barrier around them, but Lin Xuan heard some words, this is because of his Cultivation Method ‘Nine Heavens Profound Art’, which was very magical and could easily penetrate the barrier that prevents people from eavesdropping.
But there’s some problems. Firstly, the distance is far away. Secondly, the other party is an Expert of the Core Formation Stage. Lin Xuan only practiced the Nine Heavens Profound Art to the entry level, so he just heard a few words in intermittent sentences.
Extreme Demon, Closed door meditation, a hundred years. Nascent Soul Stage.
He just heard a few words. At first, Taibai Sword Immortal’s mouth wore a sneer. But after the other party gave him a Jade slip, his expression became dignified and he invited the other party to a seat in the Eastern division.
Could it be that this Demonic Cultivator is a disciple of the Extreme Demon Venerable, and that Extreme Demon Venerable is a Demonic Cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage?
Lin Xuan inferred an astonishing fact from this, but later, he didn’t think too much about it, whether it’s the Demonic Cultivator, or the Blue Cloud Mountain which wants to collude with the other party. It has nothing to do with him. The most urgent thing is looking for an opportunity, and trying to steal the Seven-Star Grass from the Medicine Garden.
The cultivators present were all old foxes, and after a little confusion due to the presence of a Demonic Cultivator, they quickly recovered their calm.
Then, the Sect Master of Blue Cloud Mountain stood up and cleared his throat. He coughed: “Welcome, all of you. This event is to congratulate Uncle Master Zhao of this sect in achieving the Nescent Soul Stage.”
Naturally, Lin Xuan had no interest in listening, but quietly separated his Spiritual Sense, observing the actions of the Taibai Sword Immortal who was in charge of the Medicine Garden.
Because this person is a well-known Expert of Blue Cloud Mountain, many cultivators peeked at him, so Lin Xuan’s move is not noticeable.
An idea gradually formed in Lin Xuan’s mind.
He was thinking, and then suddenly, a huge Spiritual Qi wave passed over, Lin Xuan’s complexion changed, and couldn’t even breath, shrouded in the huge pressure, he felt like a newborn baby.
Not only him, but the thousands of Cultivators in the Cloud Sea, were all surrounded by this huge Spiritual Sense, except for a few Core Formation Stage Experts who could barely remain calm, everyone’s face was pale.
Many of the Spirit Condensation Stage disciples even collapsed on the ground.
Lin Xuan raised his brow, the Spiritual Qi which flowed in his body, resisted this pressure, but he did not panic.
As he had expected, this pressure came and went quickly, and after a few seconds, it disappeared without a trace.
“hehe, don’t be shocked fellow daoists, it was just Uncle Master Zhao that greeted you just now.”
“A greeting?”
Lin Xuan sneered in his heart, it’s simply a display of power, but a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is indeed terrifying, it’s just the pressure of Spiritual Qi, but it has such an amazing power!
The other cultivators also yelled in their hearts, but on the surface, they looked like they didn’t mind. At the same time, they sneaked a glance at the two giants, hoping that they would step out.
He didn’t know why, although the people in Yixian Valley and the Thunder Cloud Mountain had ugly expressions, they did not speak, this made the forces who wished to see conflict between the three factions disappointed.
What made Lin Xuan even more surprised, is that the Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Zhao reveals such a move and then disappears without a trace.
The mystery made him look even more powerful!
The following Nescent Soul Conference was still hosted by the Sect Master, with his cultivation in the Core Formation Stage. And the absence of the protagonist makes this conference a little strange.
Among them, the dark tides and the intrigues are endless.
But those are the affairs of the heads of various factions. For the Low-level disciples and the Rogue Cultivators, this gathering is still very interesting.
For centuries, the Cultivation World in You Prefecture has never been so many cultivators gathered together, which gave a nice experience.
Especially below, you can move freely, and exchange information and stuff that you need, some Rogue Cultivator even started contacting their favorite sects…
Of course, if you don’t want to stay in the Cloud Sea, you can also choose to leave at this time.
However, there are very few cultivators doing this.
The scene was lively, but it was also more chaotic. Lin Xuan scanned around with his Spiritual Sense and found that the Taibai Sword Immortal was being held by several Core Formation Stage cultivators, and chatting about something.
And at that small circle, there are still some high-ranking cultivators joining, it seems that this person, has a wide range of connections, for a while, it should be impossible for him to leave.
With this understanding, Lin Xuan left through the Cloud Sea’s exist.
Then he strolled around for a bit, and after making sure that no one had followed him, Lin Xuan found a hidden place to land and took out a Hidden Spirit Pill.
Using the Demonic Disguising Technique and changing into the face of the Taibai Sword Immortal, after a moment of indulgence, Lin Xuan took out a paper Talisman from his sleeve and pasted it on his left arm.
The other party only had one hand. Of course! Lin Xuan certainly can’t chop off his own arm. But this magical Talisman is of the highest level. It took Lin Xuan hundreds of Spirit Stones to purchase it, even a master of Core Formation Stage should barely be deceived.
What’s more, Lin Xuan inquired very clearly that there should be only one Core Formation Stage cultivator in the Medicine Garden, which is Taibai Sword Immortal. But there are several restrictions, and the Seven Color Sword Array is only one of them. First of all, unless it’s a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage, no one can forcefully break in.
Of course, Lin Xuan’s move is also very dangerous, but he is forced to do so. If he does not enter the tiger’s den, he won’t become a tiger. The Taibai Sword Immortal is not there. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, Once he misses it, it would be nearly impossible to steal the Spiritual Herb.
After checking himself, there were no flaws in his body, and Lin Xuan flew toward the direction of the Medicine Garden.
“Senior Brother Taibai!”
A shout came from behind, Lin Xuan was startled, and he turned around stiffly, only to see a light blue mist coming in front of him.
