Chapter 357: Chapter 356: Still Needs to Be Dealt With

Rumble~

The chaos in the void was extremely violent, each whirl carrying a terrifying sharpness capable of killing a Nascent Soul.

However, Lv Bai faced these overflowing chaotic currents without any intention to dodge, letting them sweep over him without sustaining any harm.

In fact, when Lv Bai used an overwhelming amount of mana to violently break through the Mountain Guarding Array of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, the onlookers were already baffled.

As for the subsequent void fissure, the Supreme Elder of the Golden Scale Sacred Land intervening, and Lv Bai forcibly stabilizing the naturally recovering void, causing it to expand anew...

These events made the cultivators in the city suspect they had entered a mythological world.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators had never witnessed such scenes which terrified all the cultivators.

In comparison, the many mortals in Wan Chong City were somewhat more composed.

After all, when faced with cultivators, mortals are powerless to resist, so strength doesn’t matter much to them.

"Who exactly are you?"

The Supreme Elder of Golden Scale Sacred Land gazed into the void at Lv Bai.

If he wanted to leave, he certainly could.

Unfortunately, he was holding onto an elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, and under such severe turbulence, this elder would never survive crossing the void.

He, the dignified Supreme Elder of a Sacred Land, came specially to rescue someone, not to mention the harsh words he had spoken before leaving.

If in the end he didn’t save anyone, it would be quite a blow to his reputation.

But the Supreme Elder did not act rashly, merely scrutinizing Lv Bai with a cold gaze.

All Immortal Sects had already investigated that since Lv Bai joined the Cyan Hope Sect, less than two weeks had passed.

Within such a short time span, to reach the Golden Core Stage was itself a myth, let alone the Mahayana Stage.

After coming out of seclusion and briefly understanding the situation, he had thought Lv Bai used some kind of trick to temporarily gain explosive power.

However, at this moment, he could judge from the mana fluctuations that Lv Bai’s cultivation realm was genuinely at the Mahayana Stage.

This completely unimaginable fact forced him to remain vigilant.

"May I know which Taoist friend is present?"

"Which Taoist friend?"

Lv Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, quickly realizing that the Supreme Elder mistook him for some old monster who had seized a body to cultivate anew.

Not bothering to explain much, he again amplified the mana output forcefully, suddenly expanding the void fissure, which was already the size of a house, by roughly another third.

The fierce winds generated in the void swept horizontally, razor-sharp, distorting the space around the void fissure.

The Supreme Elder of Golden Scale Sacred Land was fully exposed before Lv Bai.

The elder wore a gold-trimmed Taoist robe, but even a loose robe couldn’t conceal his exaggerated muscles.

Through the robe’s outline, one could vaguely see the incredibly sturdy muscle lines.

Combined with the white beard hanging to his chest, it created a slightly odd sense of discord.

"I underestimated you, but so be it. If you wish to kill, then kill."

The Supreme Elder casually tossed out the elder from the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, his immortal visage cold and merciless.

"I’m more interested in you now." Lv Bai didn’t even look, and with a surge of mana, instantly crushed the elder into powder, leaving not a trace behind.

The Supreme Elder did not blink, standing unmoved like an eternal glacier: "It seems close, but actually we are separated by most of Xuan Province, what can you do to me?"

Lv Bai certainly wouldn’t take his word for it, directly raising his hand to reach the Supreme Elder amidst the chaotic currents in the void.

Just as he said, the Supreme Elder remained relaxed, with no intention to resist.

"Is it really true?"

Lv Bai tried and found that it did indeed seem close yet unreachable.

This was actually a flaw or shortcoming caused by his rapid cultivation progression.

His understanding of many Dao Principles barely scratched the surface, just meeting the basic requirements for advancing to the Mahayana Stage. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Insights into Dao Principles can come unexpectedly, but under normal circumstances require methodical effort.

Usually, Mahayana Stage cultivators spent hundreds of years comprehending Dao Principles before crossing this bottleneck, yet Lv Bai, even including his time in the Spiritual Time House, had not exceeded two years.

Thus, essentially, he is a "puffed-up" Mahayana Stage cultivator, not assuming that a cubic meter of iron weighs the same as a cubic meter of cotton?

"If you truly wish to fight me, then come, I’ll be waiting at the Cyan Hope Sect."

Upon saying this, the Supreme Elder’s face bore more than a trace of mockery: "If you’re quick enough, you might catch Cyan Hope Sect’s last journey."

The Supreme Elder spoke no more, turning to disappear into the void.

Lv Bai did not forcefully retain him, allowing the enlarged void fissure to slowly close as he withdrew his mana.

The spatial area seemed like a wrung-out towel, retaining some wrinkles that might take time to smooth out.

Retracting the Immortal Dao Flower suspended above, without lingering in midair, Lv Bai descended directly in a natural freefall posture.

After experiencing such an ordeal, he temporarily lost interest in conducting societal experiments.

Judging by the Supreme Elder’s tone, the Immortal Sects intended to join forces to expel Cyan Hope Sect.

After all, bearing the title of Cyan Hope Sect disciple, Lv Bai had eliminated over a hundred Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators. While he anticipated other Immortal Sects would approach Cyan Hope Sect for accountability, their ruthless approach still caught Lv Bai by surprise.

If he were unaware, it wouldn’t matter, but now knowing this, Lv Bai felt he needed to handle the situation; otherwise, his thoughts would not be coherent.

Despite such a shocking event occurring, none of the surrounding cultivators dared approach Lv Bai to converse.

Only Li Mu appeared overly excited.

Having decided to curry favor, the bigger the support, the better: "Smiling Lord, you’re alright, aren’t you?"

"It’s nothing."

Lv Bai randomly selected a cultivator from the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects for a violent soul search, confirmed their location, then immediately continued: "I’m planning to return to Cyan Hope Sect, how about you?"

Li Mu answered without hesitation: "Of course, I’ll go wherever you go."

Hearing this response, Lv Bai swallowed back any words warning of danger, placing his hand on Li Mu’s shoulder: "Then let’s go."

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed across the surroundings, causing all nearby buildings to collapse under a violent shockwave, dust billowing everywhere.

Lv Bai pulled Li Mu disappearing from Wan Chong City, leaving only a terrifying crater over a hundred meters in diameter on the ground.

After confirming Lv Bai’s departure, the heavy burden on the hearts of the cultivators present finally eased.

Soon, the cultivators turned their gaze towards the shattered mountain gate of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, their eyes gleaming with greedy green light.
