Han Clan Immortals: I have a hundredfold energy-gathering bottle
Chapter 8 Cataclysm
The cultivators on the mountain were still in shock. The purple-robed elder paused, his expression unreadable, and bowed slightly towards the Zhengqing Peak in the south.
"Congratulations to the Ancestor on achieving supernatural powers. May the Ancestor enjoy eternal life and a long and prosperous path in the Dao."
The onlookers then realized what was happening and respectfully said in unison.
"Congratulations to the Ancestor on achieving supernatural powers. May the Ancestor enjoy eternal life and a long and prosperous path in the Dao."
Han Jieliu mingled in the crowd, bowing slightly, but felt a unique sense of awe.
"It's actually this martial uncle..."
The white-robed cultivator who had just established his foundation was none other than Xue Yinbai, the sword cultivator from Zhengqing Peak and Xue Yiqing's uncle.
Unexpectedly, he was only in his fifties, yet he had already attained supernatural powers.
"This talent is truly outrageous. They've already successfully established their foundation so quickly... Xue Yiqing, Xue Yinbai, no wonder I encountered such a thing when I was doing sect missions back then."
Upon seeing Xue Yinbai successfully establish his foundation, Han Jieliu's confusion suddenly cleared up, and everything connected.
The sect is not a monolithic entity; each sect and peak has its own agenda. Currently, apart from the main peak, Qiwei Peak, which has two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Dongquan Peak, which has no Foundation Establishment cultivators, the other five peaks each have only one peak master.
The time required to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is measured in years, so the news of Xue Yinbai's sudden disappearance could not be kept secret from other Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The sect's resources are limited. If Zheng Qingfeng suddenly gains another Foundation Establishment cultivator, it will naturally affect the distribution of benefits.
Therefore, it is likely that someone at the Foundation Establishment stage intended to start with Xue Yiqing to test Xue Yinbai's condition, but was interrupted by the original owner of the body.
"I never expected to stumble into such a game of cultivation. The original owner of this body is really unlucky. No wonder the Xue family gave such a generous reward."
Realizing this, Han Jieliu recalled Xue Yiqing's words and looked around with a start.
Now that Xue Yinbai has successfully broken through and become the new patriarch of the sect, all attempts to test him must cease.
As for himself, an ant who had disrupted their plans to some extent, who knows what might happen? He might face retaliation from that peak... or even be among the crowd behind him preparing to leave the sect.
Thinking of this, a deep glint flashed in Han Jieliu's eyes, and he took two steps back from the crowd without making a sound.
The mid-stage Qi Refining Divine Speed Talisman was also secretly kept in his sleeve, ready to be used at any moment when the mountain gate would open.
······
Xiaoweishan, on the very top of Qingfeng.
As Xue Yinbai successfully established his foundation, the Mistfall Mountain Formation that had been operating gradually faded away, and three figures were suspended in the sky. They were none other than the Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the sect.
An elderly man dressed in casual clothes, whose every move exuded a radiant aura, smiled slightly first.
"Fellow Daoist Xue, congratulations on the emergence of another fellow Daoist in your clan. At such a time, it is truly a blessing for Xiaowei Mountain."
The old man then looked down at the countless peach orchards below and sighed.
"Such a magnificent phenomenon is probably even more powerful than what we were back then. I remember Yin Bai is only in his early fifties. With such talent at such a young age, he may even be able to glimpse the Purple Mansion."
The old man in the green robe beside him, stroking his beard, waved his hand helplessly, his eyes filled with undisguised amusement, and said, feigning concern.
"Sect Master Chang is too kind. This child went into seclusion early without telling us. It's just a pity that my verdant peak has to be renamed Peach Blossom Peak."
Another female cultivator, dressed brightly and with a dashing appearance, smiled lightly and took out an item with a flick of her wrist.
"Peak Master Xue, this Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object [Liuzhi Wood] for the Wood Virtue Path is a congratulatory gift brought to me by the Han family of Dongquan Peak. Please pass it on to Fellow Daoist Yin Bai. I still need to make a trip to Xunjiao Mountain, so I won't stay any longer."
"Fellow Daoist Li, take care..."
The old man in the green robe took the spiritual object and gently held it in his hand.
After the red-armored female cultivator left, Xue Dejiu and Chang Minghu waited for a while before a figure in white appeared before them.
The newcomer had a gentle aura, with his black hair hanging down. His eyes were like spring water, inspiring goodwill upon looking at them, yet possessing the calmness of a deep pool. He was Xue Yinbai, who had just attained supernatural powers.
He still smelled of peach blossoms as he bowed to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Grandfather Chang."
"Young friend Yin Bai, now that you have attained supernatural powers, let us address each other as fellow Daoist," Chang Minghu said kindly.
Xue Yinbai did not refuse; this was the rule in the cultivation world that those who had achieved the highest level should be given priority, so he agreed.
He didn't say anything more, but simply cupped his hands in greeting to Chang Minghu.
"Sect Master, I have a request."
Chang Minghu looked into his calm eyes and immediately fell silent, realizing what Xue Yinbai wanted to say.
As the sect leader of Xiaowei Mountain, having been in charge for a century, he naturally knew about the conflicts between the various families and peaks within the sect.
Among the seven peaks of Xiaowei Mountain, the main peak, Qiwei Peak, has always been the core of the lineage, where the master-disciple tradition is passed down, harmonizing the other peaks and governing the entire sect.
The Xue family of Zhengqing Peak, the Li family of Duanyan Peak, and the Han family of Dongquan Peak, which no longer has a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge, were all established when the sect was first founded, following the founding Purple Mansion True Person.
The peaks that followed were either established by disciples of the sect after they had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, or by recruiting rogue cultivators who had formed supernatural powers outside. Although hundreds of years have passed and they have changed countless times, their conflicts with the original three families have only deepened.
Ultimately, the reason why Xiaoweishan is now without Zifu in charge is that it is not worthy of its position and its controlled area is getting smaller and smaller. Of the three counties it once controlled, only the most remote Linjiang County remains.
The scarcity of cultivation resources has exacerbated conflicts, and the sect is now vaguely divided into several factions.
The Xue, Li, and Han families, the other three peaks, and the main peak that has always been outside.
The reason why Xue Yinbai did not inform the sect this time and chose to break through in secret was also due to this.
Chang Minghu understood that Xue Yinbai had cultivated mental manipulation techniques. He could not hide the thoughts of any cultivator below the Foundation Establishment level. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he only needed to scan with his divine sense to know which Foundation Establishment cultivator had obstructed him and attacked his junior.
The things one asks of oneself are mostly related to this.
However, as the sect leader, Chang Minghu naturally couldn't allow the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect to fight each other at every turn, so he sighed.
"Junior Brother Yin Bai, this matter was the fault of Peak Master He. According to the rules of the sect, I will punish him by sending him to guard Chengji Peak for several years, and I will also compensate you with Foundation Establishment spiritual items..."
"Nephew Yiqing's injury was blocked by an inner disciple, so it has no impact. As you probably know, the sect is currently in a critical period, so it is best to avoid any conflicts between the peaks."
Xue Yinbai's eyes were filled with spring water, but the long sword at his waist rang out, only to be gently pressed back by a hand hidden under his sleeve.
His expression remained calm and unchanged; he simply said...
"Sect Master, I promise not to use the sword."
Looking at Xue Yinbai, who possessed an otherworldly air, Chang Minghu knew that this sword cultivator's mind was always straightforward and could not be swayed.
With his mental magic and extraordinary swordsmanship, Xue Yinbai is likely to become the next pillar of the Xiaowei Mountain sect.
If the main peak doesn't have good seedlings to build a foundation, it will probably have to rely on them in the future, so it's natural not to offend them.
Chang Minghu looked at Xue Dejiu beside him, hoping that his old friend could persuade him again.
But he found that the old man was pretending not to hear him, and was just playing with the [Liuzhi Wood] in his hand, so he could only sigh.
"Young friend Yin Bai, we can only engage in a spiritual exchange. Let's stop here and not harm the disciples on the peak."
Xue Yinbai didn't say anything, just nodded, casually broke off a peach branch, and strolled away, disappearing into the damp, swirling peach blossom rain.
