Early in the morning , unlike other days , the entire Spirit Arc City was filled with a loud and lively atmosphere.
It is due to their Martial Festival getting near their neighborhood.
Martial Challenge will take place after one month , but the excitement and preparation for the Martial Challenge can't be stopped just because of one month's distance .
"I am so excited about Martial Challenge of this year , there are Young master Long , Young master Mu , Young miss Mu and many of other Geniuses of our Spirit Arc City "
"And don't forget , there are also Geniuses from Cities that comes in territory of Casket Sword Sect "
Both Mortals and Cultivators were hyped up because of this Martial Festival that comes once in a year .
"Everyone are already hyped up because of Martial Challenge approaching near the hometown "
"But I don't know if this Martial Challenge will be held this year or not because of the lurking danger "
Sect Master Qi was right now standing in the middle of the Gathering Hall .
The Gathering Hall is a Sacred Hall for all the Leaders of Sect to gather for important meetings .
After a while , he walks to his Main Seat that is placed above all . There is a layer of steps separating the floor into two volumes , while one side of the floor is attached with the ground , the other half is level up from the ground .
The high level Main Seat is reserved for only Sect Masters . While on both sides of the red carpet, there are few seats placed for Elders and District Lords of the Sect .
Soon one after another mighty figures come to the Gathering Hall .
Each and everyone has their Heavenly Kingdom activated behind their body , illustrating the image of Celestial Projection .
Their Aura alone would be enough to suppress those so called Invincible Immortals that run rampage .
"Greeting Sect Master , this Long greets you "
"Greeting Sect Master , this Mu greets you "
"Greeting Sect Master , this You greets you "
"This Tan greets the Sect Master "
One after another , District Lords of the Spirit Arc City enter inside the Gathering Hall .
"My greeting to all respective District Lords and Elders "
With a light nod , Sect Master Qi greets everyone .
With that , everyone rests on their Seats . While District Lords sit on a seat close to Sect Master . Elders and Young Geniuses have to sit on a Seat close to District Lord .
This is in order to display the Authority and Status .
" In your Voice Recording Jade , you said that a Cultist has been lurking in our Sect ? Are you serious ?"
With a sharp gaze , District Lord Mu looks at Sect Master Qi . He is a middle aged man with an unfathomable Cultivation Base . With a single wave of his hand , ten thousand Divine Mountain will face annihilation .
"For your doubt , I will let District Lord Long to explain everything "
With a serious Aura surrounding , Sect Master Qi answers .
"It is indeed true "
District Lord Long nods his head and does not deny the statement from Sect Master Qi .
Inhales long breath*
Everyone suddenly becomes serious , clearly not in the mood for jokes .
With old generation Cultivators , even younger generation Geniuses are present with them .
This is to help younger generation Geniuses to learn from them .
"Just a night before yesterday , our guards responsible — "
District Lord Long explains to everyone about the incident that happened in his territory .
He is a middle aged man , with green hair and eyes , combined with handsome looks . He is a Man with a lady-killer appearance . And paired with his gentle and kind presence which he gives to everyone , he is one of the gentlemen with no equal .
"What my father said is indeed true , I can verify you all with a proof "
Long Tian who was sitting next to his father speaks , soon everyone's attention stops on him .
"Young master Long , you have to know how grave this situation is ?"
District Lord You who is also a middle age man , surrounded with Divine Energy opens his mouth .
"Matter regarding Fiend is not something you can leisurely speak of "
"Even the Forefather of powerful Powerhouse dares not speak of this matter so lightly "
It is not that District Lord You was being harsh , but he was just stating the truth .
"I dare not "
As a young Genius nurtured by his family , how can Long Shenlong not know the gravity of matter regarding Fiend ?
"If you have evidence that can prove what you and the Sect Master said is true , why not share with everyone ?"
With a gentle yet mysterious Aura surrounding District Lord Tan , she asks Long Shen for evidence .
She is a very beautiful lady , not matching her age at all . With long dark hairs and enchanting eyes , a devilishly Sexy and voluptuous body , she can be said to be the Supreme Seductress .
"I have an evidence "
Turning to look at his subordinate standing behind his back , Long Shenlong asked the subordinate to bring the evidence .
After a while , before the eyes of everyone , Western Long guards bring a dead body of a young man .
They place the dead body of a young man in the middle of the Gathering Hall , for everyone to observe and see it clearly .
After that , his subordinates left .
The dead body of a young man is fully naked , exposing each and every part of his skin .
He seems to be in his early 21 , handsome and young . Muscular body and tall height .
"What is the meaning of this "
Young master Tan , a young boy in his late 19 frowns . He is extremely handsome and attractive , no less than Immortal from the Upper Realm that is mentioned in legend .
"I will not say anything "
Shaking his head , Long Shenlong shakes his head with a gentle smile . He continues .
"Everyone can use their [ Third Eyes ] to see through this body and find out the origin "
When everyone heard Long Shenlong , they looked at each other . After a while , everyone nods their head and activates their [ Third Eyes ]
Boom —
But when they tried to see through the origin of this dead body , their Consciousness shook violently . Almost collapsing their Mind Palace .
"What was that ? "
It was District Lord Tan who was first to ask , her eyes clearly revealing deep shock and indescribable fear .
"This , this is the Aura Of Faith "
When Sect Master Qi opened his mouth and mentioned Faith , everyone felt a conflict in their heart .
Aura Of Faith , sounds so simple yet extremely mysterious .
One has to know , in order to give birth to Aura Of Faith , at the very least one has to be cultivating Faith Dao for ten thousands of years .
And this Aura Of Faith can't be cultivated by just one or two people , even at minimum , there needs to be almost a hundred thousands Cultivators .
For example , take the legend from Mortal World .
One Mortal will make up a Ghost Story , and if he is the only one to believe that story is real . He will only be one to [ Believe ] his own Story .
But if his Story is passed to others , and more and more people begin to believe the story is true , they will be in trance when the time they begin to think of the story is actually true or not .
And with that , if lots of people begins to believe the story is not just a legend but real , they will subconsciously use their [ Faith ]
And that Faith will slowly gather from all around the world , through those people who believe the story to be true .
And just like that , [ Faith ] will Evolve into [ Aura Of Faith ]
And this [ Aura Of Faith ] will bring the Entity that you believe into Existence .
And someone born from one's Imagination can't be killed unless one has some Secret or Supreme Scheme .
"Aura Of Faith , impossible !!"
It was District Lord You who roared when he heard such blatant claims .
"How can someone cultivate a Fiend in secret , if this is true . I will be the one to decapitate this group of bastards first "
District Lord You clearly reveals his deep and inerasable hatred for Fiend .
When he was still a young and arrogant youth , his wife to whom he used to be childhood sweetheart , was killed by a Fiend .
Although that Fiend was later sealed by the True Emperor of that generation . But still , his hatred for Fiend is something that can never be erased .
"This is truly not something we can take lightly , should we contact with other Powerhouse and team up with them "
District Lord Long asks everyone for their opinion.
And just like that , their gathering extended.
*****
While everyone was busy discussing matters regarding Fiend , on the other hand Young master Qi asked You'er to come closer .
"Yes , Young master. "
Right now , they are standing in the backyard of Qi Residence.
Few servants and bodyguards are standing a few hundred meters behind them .
"You'er , I want to teach you something . Would you like to learn ?"
When Young master Qi ask You'er if she wants to learn something he will he teach her or not ?
With a ferocious nod , You'er nods her head ferociously .
"Are you gonna teach me Immortal Cultivation , Young master ?"
You'er smile widens , almost to the point where the corner of her small lips touches her ears .
"Not an Immortal Cultivation , but a Sword Cultivation "
Young master Qi may not be a Sword Cultivator . He does not even know the basics of Sword Cultivation , so he wants to do some experiments through You'er .
With a wave of his hand , he takes out a wooden sword .
Looking at the wooden sword , You'er innocently blush .
Young master Qi ignores this silly girl , he is somehow beginning to get used to how strangely she behaves sometimes .
"I will give you this sword , and I will also give you a simple task "
While running his left two fingers on the wooden blade of the wooden sword , Young master Qi continues .
"Your task is to , be one with this wooden sword "
"Be one with this wooden sword ?"
You'er was confused . She blinks her eyes and shows an expression that screams she understood nothing .
"You'er , what is a Sword Cultivator ? "
This time , instead of answering . Young master Qi asked instead .
But such a simple question was replied with a simple answer .
"Sword Cultivators are those who can split Sky with their sword , split Mountains with their swords "
"They flies in the sky while riding their sword "
"Aren't they ?"
You'er has a simple understanding about Sword Cultivator because she has yet to meet a true Swordsman .
Even though Young master Qi does not know anything about Sword Cultivator , he has still fought with Sword Cultivator . resulting in his ass kicked .
True Emperor Gong was truly something else .
He forced True Emperor Yang to such a miserable state which forced True Emperor Yang to recuperate his Emperor Core for almost half a million years .
That is why he came up with the idea of Cultivating in a Sword Cultivation System .
Although there are many Cultivators and powerful Cultivation , Sword Cultivation has left a deep impression in his heart .
His Black Snake was split into two halves by the Divine Sword summoned by True Emperor Gong .
"You are right"
"Now , you have to imagine that this Wooden sword is you and you are the wooden sword"
"You have to give it all "
When Young master Qi said to this point , he sees You'er exerting all her strength in her head .
She seems to try to communicate with the sword through pure bullshit .
"...."
"Forget it , take your time and Cultivate in Sword Cultivation when you are free "
Young master Qi suddenly felt his hope drop . This You'er will need at least three lives to cultivate in Sword Cultivation .
"Young master , don't you worry "
"I will cultivate in Sword Cultivation and make you feel proud of me "
You'er arches her beautiful pair of breasts forward , not minding how her breasts are bouncing up and down .
At this point Young master Qi has lost all his hope on this girl .
He just said something to You'er so to not hurt her pride .
"Yes , yes , you can do it "
"I believe in you "
You'er feel shy when she hears the praise from her Young master .
Young master Qi , although you are very good at concealing your feelings . You at least praised me and revealed how much you are confident in me .
Don't worry Young master , for you , for me , and for our future .
I will master Sword Cultivation , no matter what .
"What is this girl thinking now ?"
When Young master saw that proud , confident and unwavering expression on You'er , he shrugs his shoulders .
With that , he leaves the backyard . Leaving You'er all alone to herself .
After entering inside his room , Young master Qi enters inside his Timespace Pagoda .
******
"The decision has been made , this will be the final decision agreed by all the District Lord and Elders "
Sect Master Qi announced to everyone his final decision . After receiving his decision , no one voiced their disagreement .
Because everyone has agreed on the matter .
"Since we all know , once we ask support from other powerhouse , they will send their Elites for our support "
" We will need to do our best not to shame our Sect , after all by bringing other powerhouse Elite , we are also putting our Sects prestige on stake "
Sect Master Qi is not only facing the threat from this mysterious Cult but also facing the threat from so-called Aide .
After all , to let other Sect's Elite enter your territory is to let a Tiger enter your Forest .
"And of course , do your best not to reveal too much about your Secrets In front of other powerhouse"
"No matter how friendly they are with you "
This was also something to always remember .
Even the members of Sect do not know too much about their Allies , so how can they let an outsider learn about them ?
After a short conversation , Sect Master Qi and everyone leaves .
"Dear , is it the correct decision to let those powerhouses enter our Casket Sword Sect ?"
When everyone left , Sect Master Qi returns back to his room .
There Sect Matriarch Gu is waiting for him while brewing some Heart Calming Tea .
After taking some sip from the cup of tea , Sect Master Qi feels his heavy heart going light .
"Nothing is right , but I need to take this risk "
During his youth , no during his and his second wife's prime , they venture through lots of locations existing in Holy Dan World .
And at that time , they made both friends and enemies . And those enemies are still seeking an opportunity to destroy them .
"Did we truly made mistakes during our youth ?"
Sect Master Qi can't stop himself from questioning himself . It is like their past is now coming to hunt them .
Sect Matriarch Gu also feels her heart heavy , she tries to comfort her husband .
"Why don't we call our old friends too when we ask help from a powerhouse from all around ?"
"That is a good idea . But still , dangerous "
Sect Master Qi also have thought of this , but it will be too bloody if a Tiger and Dragon were to meet each other .
Just like that , they both falls in deep conversation .
*****
" The Praying Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind "
"Such a wonderful phrase to describe the situation "
Massaging his temple , Young master Qi falls in deep contemplation .
While everyone is troubled by the Fiend case , Young master Qi is calculating something else .
"Rip the benefits while letting others do the work "
He tries to come up with lots of ideas and schemes .
"In the middle of countless masters "
"From the eyes of everyone "
"Without getting suspicious "
"How the hell would one steal a Treasure ?"
Even after so much thinking , Young master Qi feels troubled .
After all , even the weakest masters present during Investigation or should we say Cult Hunting will be at least Enlightenment Realm masters .
And an Enlightenment Realm masters are not someone to scoff at . After all they have already become [ One With World ]
And [ One With World ] means not just to materialize Domain , but to be able to borrow powers from World itself .
That is also the main reason why High Realm masters avoid battle as much as they can .
After all , after borrowing power from the world , they can suddenly achieve huge Growth in Cultivation , temporarily.
"This is getting headache for me "
Young master Qi has only schemed against others a few times so he can not be said to be master of Scheming .
With a deep breath , he stabilizes his Mentality .
"Let's just refine some few Elemental Imp "
Elemental Imp are a type of weak Spirits refined through Elemental Stones found easily in markets .
Although they can even be killed by a Mortal , their Elemental Ability to blend with surroundings is extremely profound .
Even with their weak body and soul , their ability gives them power to blend their users with surroundings .
Fire , Wood , Metal , Earth and Water . Through Five Elements , one can refine Elemental Imp .
This Technique is developed by Five Elemental Saints from Ancient Era . Even before True Emperor Yang was born .
And this Technique is mainly used by Five Elemental Saint Valley hidden somewhere in Myriad World .
One or two sets of Elemental Imp may not be terrifying but if the Practitioner knows [ Five Elemental Catastrophic Saint Array ] , they can even force a True Emperor to retreat.
Because Five Elemental Catastrophic Saint Array is something that used to mainly cultivate to fight against the True Emperor .
Five Elemental Saint was master of Five Elemental Dao , even those that cultivated a single Dao System were not as unfathomable as him when it comes to controlling the power of Five Elements .
"Sadly I fail to convince Five Elemental Saint Valley on giving me Five Elemental Catastrophic Saint Array "
"I should have asked for Five Elemental Heart Transformation from the valley and not gone for the Golden Spoon "
Only now , Young master Qi was feeling somewhat regretful .
Even though the Valley is only Saint Powerhouse with no legacy of True Emperor , the Valley is still one of the legendary [ Myriad World Race Alliance ]
When all the forces of Myriad World Race Alliance gather , not even Heaven can stop them from massacring and annihilating God and Demon .
After a while , he takes out some Elemental Stones in order to refine the stone into Elemental Imp .
*****
"What the hell , you asking for some beating ?"
Yu Danlan twists his nose and shouts at a few mysterious young youths entering the Central District .
Group of few young people , wearing aristocratic dress , all seem to come from dignified and prestigious families .
A young boy in his late 18's , no doubt he is handsome . He looks at Yu Danlan and snorts disdainfully .
"Senior brother , why are you wasting your time on this beggar ? "
"Let's leave before Master Dong gets angry at us "
A very beautiful young lady , straight out of Divine Painting , looks at Yu Danlan and coldly speaks .
"Shut up you bitch !! "
"So you guys are asking for beating "
"Since I am free today , I will beat you guys up . With that , I may even feel some stress relief "
Yu Danlan spins his arms , warming up his body before the fight .
"You "
"You dare call me a bitch ? "
"Insolent fool , you deserve thousand death "
As a proud Heavenly Genius of the younger generation , how can Jiang Linlong tolerate when someone calls her a bitch ?
She is already a Dao Flower , just one step away from achieving Heavenly Array Realm and becoming a True Daoist .
But this random beggar of Mortal World dares to insult her ?
Intolerable !!
"I deserve death ? "
"No bitch , you deserve death !!"
"Even my girl who left me was less bitch than you , bitch "
Yu Danlan smiles proudly , not minding how he insulted this young miss from who knows where ?
Jiang Linlong is an Inner Court Disciple from Heaven Freedom Sect , a Sect comparable to Casket Sword Sect .
She is destined to become a supreme master in the future . One who will look down on millions of lives .
But now , someone insulted her so leisurely .
"How dare you insult my junior sister , you are so leisurely courting death "
Tian Xi felt his blood rushing all over his head , furious to extremes .
"How dare you dog bark at this grandfather ? "
"Did my son fail to teach you about mannerisms and discipline ?"
"In my son's place , I shall teach you a lesson "
Yu Danlan's words only manage to add fuel to a burning flame .
"Insolent "
In the middle of Central Market , Tian Xi burst out with endless Qi , completely trembling the land and air .
"That dog is making trouble again "
"Shit !! Who are those newcomers ? They look like someone from a prestigious family but how did they come in conflict with that dog ?"
"Whatever the reason is ? At the least , we can finally see that dog's ass getting beaten "
The surrounding spectators began to circle the group of troublemakers . The main reason is to just pass their time.
"Swoosh "
Channeling Spiritual Qi in his right hand , Tian Xi runs to Yu Danlan . He was sure he could beat this insolent man very easily .
But something very unbelievable happened .
Yu Danlan spins his body , completely crossing his path with Tian Xi .
And soon , Yu Danlan was behind Tian Xi . After that , Yu Danlan clenched his fist tightly and punched on the back of Tian Xi .
Tian Xi gets flown away from his original position. But he wisely takes his actions and lands on the ground with leisure .
"Senior brother Tian "
The group of young Genius from Heaven Freedom Sect cries when they see their senior brother getting punched by Yu Danlan .
But Tian Xi frowns tightly , as a Heavenly Genius , although he is angry and lost his calm for a second . How can he not understand the situation .
This rude person is as strong as him .
He glares at Yu Danlan for a while and leaves with his juniors .
Yu Danlan keeps on looking at those disappearing silhouettes before snorting.
"How can I lose to someone like you ?"
"Hump "
After that , he looks down and feels pain .
Those motherfucker , how can they have heart to throw his priceless [ Immortal Sword ] away , so heartlessly .
"Better not let me see them "
He cursed them in his heart for disrespecting his [ Immortal Sword ]
As for the crowds , they were left disappointed.
"And here I thought those young masters were something . not even able to beat that dog's ass "
"so disappointing , those young masters are only in name "
"let's go , there is nothing fun to watch "
