Chapter 88: A Magnificent Lineup, Lords of the World!
Chapter 88: A Magnificent Lineup, Lords of the World!
In the following three short days, Lin Xiuqi had made a decision. All the cultivators of the Lin family returned from various spiritual veins, secret realms, medicinal fields, and markets in Baoshan Prefecture. Yes, they abandoned the mining of all resource points and even ignored the possibility of those points being stolen.
The Lin family, consisting of 13,863 cultivators, had all returned to the Baolin Mountain Range. Naturally, the significant movements of the Lin family did not escape the attention of other cultivators in Baoshan Prefecture.
News that the Grand Ancestor of the Lin family was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm quickly spread. The Nascent Soul cultivators in the neighboring provinces fell silent. This Lin family Grand Ancestor was truly formidable. He could easily overpower Nascent Soul cultivators at the Golden Core Realm. If he really broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, one could imagine how extraordinary his strength would be.
However, no one dared to make a move. The Lin family was a power handpicked and nurtured by the Ancestral Temple to the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, at least on the surface, there was no grudge between them and the Lin family.
No faction would do something so foolish as to inexplicably provoke such a powerful enemy. Consequently, after a tumultuous seven to eight days, the entire Liuyun State, and even the surrounding States were in an uproar.
Powers of the third rank or higher above the Golden Core realm fell into an eerie silence. They were all waiting for the results of Grand Ancestor from the Lin family's breakthrough.
In fact, some of them had already prepared gifts, ready to congratulate him after his breakthrough. They wanted to get closer to this Lin family Grand Ancestor.
Baoshan Prefecture, above the sky. Over ten rays of light tore through the sky and stood in the heavens. If someone could stand here and see their cultivation, they would be shocked on the spot.
Because within these ten rays of light, the cultivation of each living being was at least in the Soul Formation Dao Lord realm. The only exception might be a woman in a white tight-fitting dress.
At this moment, the woman watched the formation rising from the Baolin Mountain Range with a touch of anger. "Why is this guy breaking through so quickly? He's about to step into the Nascent Soul Realm."
Beside her, Tu Qi and Luo Shenji were also greatly surprised. They certainly knew how formidable Lin Xuan was. However, they did not expect that his breakthrough speed far exceeded their expectations.
One must know that from Lin Xuan's birth, it had been only half a year. In half a year, he had reached the fourth level of cultivation, the Nascent Soul Realm. Even the most outstanding races in the vast universe might not be able to accomplish this. Moreover, Lin Xuan's combat power had reached inhuman levels.
"Miss Yunyao, did Lin Xuan really tell you that he needed to ask a Great Ascension Realm Ancestor for help?" Tu Qi couldn't help but ask.
Nangong Yunyao nodded. Everything went smoothly. The only hiccup was that she inadvertently revealed her desire to help Lin Xuan, but was ultimately rejected.
Both Tu Qi and Luo Shenji attached great importance to this matter. He had actually summoned all nine half-step Supreme Gods Dao Lords stationed on the Luo God Dao.
Apart from that, Tu Qi, the Palace Master of the Demon Governing Hall, had also used his identity to urgently call for reinforcements from the Demon Governing Hall in the surrounding ten Precept Domains.
Except for one of them who had an urgent matter to attend to, the other nine Precept Domains' Demon Resistance Hall Masters had all come to help.
They brought the Demon Resistance Hall's unique long-range teleportation formation. Within one day, they had gathered at the Luo God Dao.
It should be noted that using such a teleportation formation consumed resources equivalent to cultivating a Soul Formation Realm cultivator. Therefore, unless there was an emergency, people from the Demon Resistance Hall would not be willing to use it.
This included Nangong Yunyao, who was at the ninth refinement of the Golden Core realm. This group constituted 18 Soul Formation Dao Lords and one Golden Core, forming a terrifying lineup. A few days later, they arrived in Baoshan Prefecture.
"Is it really necessary to be so surprised by just a Golden Core Cultivator Serpent breaking through the Nascent Soul stage?"
A woman on the side saw Tu Qi and Luo Shenji's reactions and couldn't help but ask. She was the Hall Master of the Dao Resistance Hall in the Western Domain, Hua Haijuan. She was already at the peak of the Soul Formation Realm.
She had lived for over five thousand years and was a true antique. However, her life was coming to an end. If not for consuming life-extending treasures, she would have already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
"Fellow Daoist Hua, this serpent is the one passed down from the Ancestral Hall," Tu Qi simply reminded her.
The next moment, Hua Haijuan, looking down at the Baolin Mountain Range, revealed a look of astonishment.
"Is that it?"
Not only Hua Haijuan, but also the Hall Masters of the other domains, showed the same expression. The news that the Grand Ascension Realm Ancestor had deduced a Golden Core Serpent and had been backlashed was the biggest news the Ancestral Temple had seen in thousands of years.
Naturally, the Hall Masters of the various domains knew about it. However, they didn't expect to see it in such circumstances.
"However, even so, is it possible for one sentence to gather all the Soul Formation Realm pinnacle experts?"
Endless Blade, the Lord of the Thousand Beasts Sect's Demon Resistance Hall, asked with a cold expression. It's worth noting that the combined power of these people could stir up a storm in a world. Using them to deal with the Mid Nascent Soul Realm Dao Lord seemed like an overreaction.
Tu Qi and Luo Shenji exchanged a glance and shook their heads. "It's different. According to our observations, this guy's combat power is no weaker than that of a Soul Formation Dao Lord. Add to that this White Serpent's cautious nature, and it's clear it hasn't personally acted for a reason.
"Don't forget, there's a rumor in the Ancestral Temple that this guy might be the reincarnation of a powerful being from the Immortal Realm. It's better to be safe than sorry. We'll cover the cost of this teleportation formation. And I owe you a favor."
Tu Qi said resolutely. There was one thing he didn't mention. He was the Hall Master of the Demon Hall in the Luo God Dao, representing the Ancestral Temple here. His Primordial Spirit was already at the pinnacle of the Soul Formation realm, and he had established some connection with the human dao of the Luo God Dao.
His Primordial Spirit had been throbbing anxiously, as if warning the entire Luo God Dao that something big was about to happen. This was one of the reasons he attached so much importance to it.
Hearing Tu Qi's words, the other Domain Hall Masters thought he was overreacting. Getting a favor from a Soul Formation pinnacle Dao Lord in exchange for a free trip, they had nothing to say.
"What do we do next? Search the entire Baoshan Prefecture?" Endless Blade asked.
But Tu Qi shook his head and looked to the distant sky. "Not yet, someone hasn't arrived!"
"Who? Why are all of us Soul Formation Dao Lords waiting for him?" Hua Haijuan couldn't help but complain.
"The Mountain Lord of this world!"
"Tu Qi, are you out of your mind? You dare to alarm the Mountain Lord for a mid-stage Soul Formation guy?!" Endless Blade exclaimed in surprise.
The faces of the nine Domain Hall Masters immediately became very interesting. They looked at Tu Qi in disbelief, as if he were a madman!
