Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 170: All parties gathered
The voice was cold and harsh, each word distinct and deliberate, like a battering ram, making one's eardrums ache and one's vision blur.

The ground inside the tent trembled, dust and mud flew everywhere, startling the nuns so much that their faces paled.

It was only with a wave of her sleeve, Master Jingyue, that a burst of radiant light was able to stabilize the tents and prevent them from collapsing.

Who is coming?
If a single voice can shake a magic array, how high must its cultivation level be?
"Master?"

Du Bingyan's expression was solemn. He placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his internal energy surged, and his chest and abdomen glowed with light, as if he were eager to try.

"The Rakshasa Sect Master, Dugu Xiong."

Abbess Jingyue waved her hand and said in a deep voice:
"You stay in the tent and protect them. I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, she moved swiftly and left the tent, joining several Qi Refiners and unabashedly releasing the aura of a Qi Refiner.

"Senior sister, is Sect Master Rakshasa very powerful?"

Jingyi, being naturally feisty, quickly turned to Du Bingyan.

The dozen or so disciples of Shuiyue Nunnery inside the tent all looked over.

Du Bingyan glanced at the nuns, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"The Rakshasa Sect Master, Dugu Xiong, is a peerless genius who appears only once every five hundred years in Jinzhou. He is only twenty-six years old, and he has already..."

A peerless genius, appearing only once every five hundred years in Jinzhou!

He began learning martial arts at eight, developed his qi and blood at nine, his muscles and bones at ten, his internal organs at eleven, his true form at thirteen, entered the Dao and laid the foundation at seventeen, and reached the Dao's perfection at twenty-five!

He is twenty-seven years old this year, and it is said that he has already reached the realm beyond the Dao.

Two years ago, he single-handedly stormed Vulture Mountain, killing more than 600 demons. Three demon leaders, all at the peak of the Daoist realm, were killed, and two were injured. He almost wiped out the entire sect of the demons.

He fought his way through Jinzhou, and neither humans nor demons could defeat him.

It can be said that he is the number one martial artist in Jinzhou today!
And he has another identity—

The adopted son of the King of Jin.

"Touched the realm beyond the Path of Enlightenment? Is it that powerful?"

Liu Sheng was taken aback and became more vigilant.

This is a level that even his avatars cannot reach.

Whether it's martial arts or immortal cultivation, the gap between each major realm is like a chasm, enough to cause overwhelming destruction.

For example, the true form corresponds to the internal organs, and entering the Dao corresponds to the true form.

Similarly, those above the Dao realm will also have an overwhelming advantage over those in the Dao realm.

If this adopted son of the Prince of Jin and the leader of the Rakshasa Sect truly possessed cultivation beyond the Dao Realm, he would likely be able to sweep across the entire arena.

Even if Liu were to reveal all his cards, he could at most escape with his life.

However, if Master were present...

Wait, what exactly is Master's cultivation level?
I completely forgot last time!
However, he shattered the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation with just two strikes, and cleaved off half of the Golden-Toothed White Elephant's head with a single blow, leaving Xie Bao utterly terrified...

It should be, perhaps, maybe above the level of entering the Tao?
"Dugu Xiong, don't push your luck!"

At this moment, Xie Bao's voice rang out, facing off against the Rakshasa Sect Master, but it sounded weak and lacked strength, revealing a hint of bravado masking cowardice.

"Going too far? Hahahaha... We're just bullying you trash. What, you're not happy about it?"
"Come out and fight me. If you can last three moves, I'm leaving. You dare?"

The Rakshasa Sect Master was extremely domineering, laughing and cursing, and didn't take Xie Bao seriously at all.

Faced with such provocation, Xie Bao merely snorted coldly and then fell silent.

At this moment, Commander Situ's voice rang out:

“This place is extremely dangerous, yet Sect Leader Dugu is only concerned with empty words and boasting. If something happens to the Prince of Jin’s heir, you will regret it.”

"Commander Situ is mistaken. I am of dull talent, not even a fraction as good as my thirteenth brother. But I have now entered the Dao and am confident that I can protect myself."

"Guests are always welcome. Why didn't you inform me beforehand that you've come to my Jinzhou territory? That would have allowed me to extend my hospitality."

At this moment, another voice broke in. It was not loud, and the tone was soft and gentle, like that of a scholar, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears.

Noble, humble, and gentle, she makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.

Heir Apparent of the Prince of Jin!

With just a few words, he retorted to Situ Qianhu, and also demonstrated his strength.

Entry-level!
"According to what Qin Shuang, the ghost, said before, the Jin Prince's Mansion is stronger than the imperial court's power in Jinzhou, enough to carve out a territory... Seeing it today, its momentum is indeed overwhelming!"

Liu Sheng gently tapped his feet, extending his five senses, and quickly perceived that at the edge of the magic array, one "black hole" after another was confronting each other.

Qi cultivators and demons are passively devouring the light, heat, and spiritual energy around them, causing their aura to become concealed and difficult to detect.

Only when they actively release themselves can they be perceived by others.

At this moment, wisps of Dao-level aura rose up, clashing fiercely, like a mountain pressing down, making it hard to breathe.

At this moment, Commander Situ remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all people are subjects of the king. We have come to Jinzhou on the emperor's orders. If we are to be considered guests, then is Jinzhou not part of the territory of our Great Yu?"

His voice was clear and resonant, growing stronger with each word, until the last sentence was like a thunderclap, deafening and awakening.

Reprimand him to his face!

"Bullshit!"

The next moment, a domineering voice rang out, and the air crackled with the sound of electric arcs.

It was as if the Thunder God was on a rampage, his voice and power awe-inspiring.

Liu Sheng had heard this voice once before, but it left a deep impression on him. It belonged to one of the thirty-six leaders of the White Lotus Sect, the Five Thunder Heavenly Venerable.

Lei Zhong!

A Qi Refiner at the Perfected Dao Stage!

He was renowned for his thunder magic.

The White Lotus Sect members have arrived too!

In an instant, the shores of Yuding Lake were filled with turbulent winds and surging waves.

Liu Sheng lay on top of Jing Lin's head, his feet moving rapidly, his five senses spreading out like a spider web.

Thus, one "black hole" after another was reflected in his perception.

If a Qi cultivator is like a series of black holes in his five senses, then the size of "Xie Bao's" black hole is 1.

That means the black hole representing Abbess Jingyue is 1.3.

The black hole representing Lei Zhong is 1.7.

The black hole representing Du Bingyan is 0.7.

The black hole representing the heir of the Prince of Jin is 1.1.

The black hole representing the Rakshasa sect leader is 4-5.

The gap is huge!

"Wait, who is that person next to Xie Bao? The one representing his Black Hole is actually on par with Dugu Ba!"

During the process, Liu Sheng was astonished to discover that there was a black hole next to Xie Bao.

A black hole no less powerful than Dugu Ba's!

This means that a master above the Dao level has also arrived on the side of the imperial court!
However, Xie Bao, that cunning old fox, kept it hidden and never revealed his trump card.

If this trump card had been used back then, the Silver Horned Thunder Bull wouldn't have been able to stop them at all.

"Lei Zhong! You traitor, how dare you covet the ruins!"

Xie Bao roared angrily, his words righteous and unyielding.

Even when facing both the Prince of Jin's mansion and the White Lotus Sect at the same time, he remained calm and confident.

"You're hiding in your shell like a coward, yet you dare to talk big. Get out here!"

Lei Zhong, who had a fiery temper, flew into a rage upon hearing this and loudly gave the order.

Those who accompanied him this time were all elites from the White Lotus Army, each clad in armor and armed with bows and crossbows.

Among them were six Qi Refining Masters and dozens of True Form Martial Masters, who launched their attacks simultaneously at a single command.

Then, a great surge of light and clouds appeared, and crossbow bolts rained down, bombarding the newly raised five-colored barrier.

"Boom!"
