Chapter 688: Chapter 456: Spirit Vein Treasure Land, Various Reactions, Saint Master’s Determination_2
“The failure of the old Palace Master’s tribulation is one reason, but the most important is.
The turmoil Cold Water Palace experienced decades ago depleted too much of its foundation.
The old Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm nearly all died.
Thus, with the old Palace Master gone, Cold Water Palace had no one left to maintain its presence.
This almost led them to be driven to desperation by the new Golden Core Cultivator.”
“Yet, it’s true that he is indeed worthy of his reputation, even a Golden Core Realm cultivator has no ability to resist before him, no one knows exactly how he cultivated.”
“The previous disappearance of the two mysterious powerhouses, and the vanishing of the Suspended Mountain, are rumored to be his handiwork.
But without solid evidence, there is still doubt.
This time it was witnessed by tens of thousands of Cold Water City citizens.
It completely confirmed the terrifying nature of this figure.”
“The first Tribulation Crossing person since the changes in heaven and earth, such an unparalleled genius is likely the person chosen by the heavens in this era.
At least, in the early part of this Immortal Dao era, he is to be revered.”
“Indeed, Qing Xu, remember to restrain the disciples in the future, don’t enter the Ten Thousand Great Mountains casually.”
“Yes, Temple Master.”
Immediately, several old Taoists established a rule not allowing disciples to freely enter the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
There’s no choice, that person is simply too frightening.
Although he didn’t deny the disappearance of the Suspended Mountain, he passed messages through the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master to other secret lands, claiming no ill intent.
But everyone remains skeptical about it.
After all, making a secret land, along with its reliant secret realm, completely vanish, is truly beyond belief.
They can’t imagine what level of cultivation and Divine Skills could accomplish such a feat.
Not to mention that the one who achieved all of this was a young man who just broke through to the Innate Realm two years ago.
Because it’s so inconceivable, it leaves everyone with a feeling of disbelief.
But this time, Lu Qing had all Cold Water City citizens, facing numerous Innate Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Easily, casually suppress and kill a genuine Golden Core Realm powerhouse.
Thus they must believe that Lu Qing has truly grown to an unreachable level.
For quite a long time in the future, it’s likely the entire world will respect him.
Since it’s already a fact, the best way is to learn how to get along well with this figure.
…
Central State, Holy Mountain.
Three Saint Masters are seated facing each other.
The aura of the First Saint Master, stable as a mountain, thick as the earth.
Obviously, after some time of recuperation, not only has his injury fully recovered, but his cultivation is completely stabilized and has advanced further.
As for the Second and Third Saint Masters seated opposite him, their aura is also powerful.
Revealing the meaning of perfection and harmony, mana occasionally flickers on their bodies.
They have evidently stepped into the Golden Core Realm.
“You’ve all received the news from below, haven’t you?”
After a moment of silence, the First Saint Master spoke in a deep voice.
“Brother, are you referring to the event in Cold Water City, where a newly ascended Golden Core Realm was slain?
There’s no much to say about that, he even managed to kill those two extraterrestrial visitors from that day.
Killing a newly ascended Golden Core Early Stage isn’t unusual.”
The Third Saint Master said, somewhat curiously.
“Indeed, we all felt how strong those two extraterrestrial visitors were that day.
Even now, the three of us together may not be the match of that youth in white.
That young man can kill them, his means and Divine Skills have reached an unimaginable level.
Killing a newly ascended Golden Core Realm is way too easy.”
The Second Saint Master also nodded.
Compared to the previous skepticism in Qingyang Temple, Holy Mountain had already been sure.
It was indeed Lu Qing who killed those two incredibly powerful extraterrestrial visitors.
After all, when Lu Qing killed those two extraterrestrial visitors, Lin Zhirui witnessed it firsthand.
And, since Tianji Building was governed by Holy Mountain, they would naturally report the matter to them.
So the Second and Third Saint Masters found it hard to understand why their brother specially brought up this matter.
In their view, it would be strange if that figure couldn’t kill the newly ascended Golden Core Realm.
“What I want to talk about is not the act of him killing the Golden Core Realm.” The First Saint Master said.
“I want you to pay attention to that slain Golden Core Realm.
This person, before the spiritual energy recovery, was merely an ordinary Innate Realm Cultivator with average performance, lacking any remarkable features.
However, after the spiritual energy recovery, within two or three short years, their cultivation has advanced enough to catch up with ours, achieving the Golden Core Realm.
This is indeed unusual.”
“It should be due to some extraordinary encounter, intelligence reported that a strand of Origin Energy fell into Long Hatred Mountain that day, supposedly obtained by Li Changbo.
Looking at it this way, that Changhen Sect Master should also be a person of extraordinary fortune.”
The Second Saint Master speculated.
“That’s exactly what I want to say.” The First Saint Master said, “After the spiritual energy recovery, the fate of the world has become more complex.
Many originally ordinary figures might suddenly see their fortunes soar, constantly encountering fortuitous events.
Within a short time, they will wield powerful forces and become strong.
However, thus the worldly patterns are bound to change.
These newly ascended powerhouses, whether searching for cultivation resources or for status.
Will inevitably contend for their interests.”
Upon hearing this, the Second and Third Saint Masters remained silent.
They know what their brother says is correct.
Once Cultivators grow strong, their desires will also magnify.
Whether fighting for resources or fame, they definitely won’t stay low-key.
If that’s the case, a new round of power restructuring is inevitably going to happen.
“Brother, hasn’t this issue been discussed before, prior to the changes in heaven and earth?
This is the major trend of the world, and we can only watch what happens, unable to defy it.”
The Third Saint Master couldn’t help but say.
“I am aware that this is an inevitable trend beyond our control.
However, while we can’t change the trend, we can make the process of evolution less intense.
Second Brother, Third Brother, do you still remember our sacred vow?”
The Second and Third Saint Masters trembled slightly, recalling events from over a thousand years ago.
At that time, the three brothers were relentlessly pursued by enemies and, seriously wounded, had to hide within the Holy Mountain.
To gain the recognition of the Mountain Soul, they made a vow to dedicate their lives to protecting exceptional talents and maintaining worldly stability.
Ultimately, they escaped death, not only recovering from injuries but also killing the pursuers.
They even obtained various inheritances, embarking on the path of cultivation, becoming revered as masters of Holy Mountain.
“Brother, we certainly haven’t forgotten the sacred vow we made.” The Third Saint Master said solemnly.
The Second Saint Master, though silent, had a grave expression as well.
“Though the Holy Mountain Soul has never forced us to anything.” The First Saint Master said, “I believe you understand if we wish to depart from the confines and seek freedom.
We must not violate our hearts, nor the sacred vow we made.
Otherwise, with our thoughts impeded, our cultivation progress will be difficult.
This lifetime might have no hope of leaving the confines.”
The Second and Third Saint Masters fell silent again.
After a while, the Third Saint Master asked: “Brother, what do you want us to do?”
“Nothing grand, with the current chaos in the world, I want to once again issue a decree in the name of Holy Mountain.
Strong Cultivators must not engage in fighting or exhibit power within cities where the Human Race congregates.”
The First Saint Master spoke slowly and solemnly.
The Second and Third Saint Masters showed shock.
“Brother, that might be impossible now.” The Second Saint Master couldn’t help but say, “Today’s world isn’t what it was a thousand years ago, our three alone might find it hard to do such things.”
The Third Saint Master had a look of agreement on his face.
“With just the three of us, it would indeed be difficult.” The First Saint Master said, “But there is someone who can.”
