Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1863 - 1868: Laying All the Cards on the Table

Xia Liu asked sincerely.

"Alright, then I'll tell you. The Lady's Pavilion is an affiliate of a Great Sect in a third-level Capital County."

"A third-level Capital County Great Sect, does this mean there are Golden Core Stage cultivators in this sect?"

Tang Ze nodded.

"Yes, because the elder Sect Master once traveled to this county and interacted with that senior, they've been in contact ever since. He asked me to take care of Elder Xiao, so I had Elder Xiao establish the Lady's Pavilion."

"However, during this period, the Lady's Pavilion hasn't used any resources from the Imperial Sky Gate, and even provides substantial resources every hundred years."

Tang Ze worried that Xia Liu might let his imagination run wild.

After all, very few people knew about this matter.

With the Lady's Pavilion being part of the Imperial Sky Gate for so long, it practically acts as the Elders Pavilion of the Imperial Sky Gate.

Within the Imperial Sky Gate, only the Sect Master and the protector are aware of this.

"I see!"

Xia Liu nodded in understanding.

It seems that if I want to protect Ling Feng, I can't rely solely on my current cultivation!

"Can the Sect Master tell me about the situation of this Great Sect?"

"Certainly, the Great Sect is called the Joy Cultivation Sect, roughly the situation is..."

Tang Ze shared all his knowledge about the Joy Cultivation Sect with Xia Liu.

Especially speculations regarding the strength of Golden Core Stage experts.

Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage, much like Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation, are incomparable and impossible to transcend.

However, after speaking, Tang Ze realized something wasn't right.

Xia Liu, with Qi Cultivation Stage, could overwhelm Foundation Establishment Early Phase, and likely would have no pressure fighting Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage.

Telling him this was somewhat foolish.

"Thank you for the information, Sect Master. If the opportunity arises in the future, I will certainly venture into the third-level Capital County!"

"Hmm, it's good for young people to go out and explore, and besides, one of the exams for Sect Master requires venturing into the third-level Capital County and making friends at Foundation Establishment Stage. If they have strong backing, it can be advantageous."

Tang Ze revealed some information about the Sect Master exam to Xia Liu.

Hoping to observe his reaction.

"Is this about providing the sect a backup?"

"You could say that, but it's not entirely that."

"Hmm, I understand. If I ever have the opportunity to participate in the Sect Master examination, I will strive for it earnestly!"

Xia Liu said seriously. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Haha! Enough of that, you haven't told me, inside the Imperial Sky Tower, which level did you reach, or rather, which level can you reach."

Tang Ze was most concerned about the present situation.

This guy doesn't yet have a Foundation Establishment Physique.

Talking about the Sect Master position was somewhat premature.

"I obtained the Imperial Sky Order from the Tower Guardian."

"Pfft! Imperial Sky Order!"

Upon hearing this news, Tang Ze sprayed his tea.

Xia Liu actually obtained the Imperial Sky Order!

That's an order that allows free travel inside the Imperial Sky Tower!

No wonder Ling Feng said Xia Liu would have a surprise upon emerging.

This news was a huge surprise for Tang Ze!

"No wonder Ling Feng mentioned you'd have a surprise, it truly is shocking yet delightful!"

"Haha, it's nothing much, the Imperial Sky Order isn't particularly useful to me, I didn't go to the top floor."

"What do you mean by this! Do you regard the legacy of past Sect Masters as worthless?"

Tang Ze suppressed his joy, looking gravely at Xia Liu.

If this guy dared to belittle the legacy of past Sect Masters, Tang Ze would certainly teach him a lesson!

"It's not that, it's because of my own Energy Body, making it difficult to receive external legacies."

"Oh? What cultivation technique do you practice?"

"If I said Thunder Control Art, would the Sect Master believe me?"

"Thunder Control Art!"

Upon hearing these three words, Tang Ze's heart raced.

In the past, Bai Zun roamed the lands with Thunder Control Art, finally returning during the Nascent Soul Stage.

No wonder Xia Liu wasn't interested in the top floor's legacy; he is Bai Zun's descendant!

"No, you don't possess Thunder Energy, only Fire and Wood Origin!"

Suddenly, Tang Ze realized.

This guy is fooling me!

As his aura released, Xia Liu instantly felt the pressure from a False Elixir Stage cultivator.

However, as the cultivation technique operated, this pressure gradually weakened.

"Noteworthy abilities! But today you need to provide a reasonable explanation, otherwise you won't leave this grove!"

Tang Ze had already sealed off a ten-mile radius.

No matter how Xia Liu used Blood Shield, it would be pointless!

"Sect Master, let me be honest. I not only possess Fire and Wood Origin, but also other Origins, which I have hidden. My Spirit Root isn't what it seems on the surface as a Yellow-Level Low-Grade."

"Interesting!"

While half-believing, half-doubting, Xia Liu started the Five Elements Mantra.

A stream of Water Spirit Energy burst from the Dantian, finally converging into his palm.

"This is Water Spirit Energy! And its quality is extremely pure!"

Tang Ze immediately widened his eyes, somewhat disbelief over the scene before him.

"Xia Liu! With your talent and skills, you could easily enter a Great Sect in a third-level Capital County. Why choose the Imperial Sky Gate?"

"I came to the Imperial Sky Gate for the Earth Spirit within the Imperial Sky Tower, to enhance my Origin."

"Earth Attribute Origin!"

Tang Ze exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes! Most of my Origins have already reached Second Tier, and soon I will smoothly reach Foundation Establishment."

"Good, good! I never expected the Imperial Sky Gate to harbor such a scheming rogue cultivator!"

Tang Ze clapped his hands.

He slowly savored Xia Liu's performance.

Let's see how he intends to justify stealing the Earth Spirit!

"I did enter the Imperial Sky Gate with intentions, but I harbor no guilt towards the sect. In the future, when my cultivation succeeds, I will assist the Imperial Sky Gate."

"Oh? Why should I trust you will assist the sect in the future?"

Tang Ze suddenly stood up, his aura surging, aiming straight at Xia Liu: "If I allow you to leave today, never to be seen again, how will we account for the Earth Spirit the Imperial Sky Gate lost?"

"Sect Master Tang, do you want to know why?"

"Yes! Show me something convincing."

"Very well! Would you believe me if I said my power of Righteous Law upon reaching Foundation Establishment could be convincing?"

Speaking thus, Xia Liu wielded the Power of Righteous Law.

Instantly, vast golden Spirit Energy surged forth.

In a flash, it enveloped Xia Liu.

This force is too upright; those with evil thoughts could never control it.

Tang Ze understood this.

Because this righteous force is the purest he has seen in his lifetime!

Until today, he could never have imagined one could refine their righteous energy into power.

"If Sect Master Tang feels it's insufficient, what about this additional force!"

Xia Liu performed the Seal Decree, and suddenly, Prajna Holy Brilliance bloomed within his body.

Instantly, Holy Energy poured forth like an ocean.

Enveloped by Holy Energy and the Power of Righteous Law.

At this moment, Xia Liu felt less like a cultivator.

And more akin to a saint descended from the heavens!

Only a saint could wield such pure, supreme strength!

"This is Prajna Holy Energy from the Southern Realm's Great Brahma Gate!"

Just as Tang Ze was about to express something, a voice of exclamation echoed from somewhere...
