Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Sect leader of the Autumn Path School, is this what you want?” Ling Qingyun’s calm voice rang out as she looked in the direction of the Autumn Path School’s sect leader.
At this moment, the sect leader of the Autumn Path School no longer had his initial smug expression. In fact, there was even a hint of astonishment on his face.
He didn’t understand why his disciple was in the perfection of the late-stage foundation establishment, a heaven’s favorite who was only one step away from breaking into the golden core stage could lose.
Before the Autumn Path School, other than the chief disciple, Huo Meng was the strongest disciple. Why would he be attacked by a mere late-stage foundation establishment disciple?
However, since he had already been defeated, the sect leader of the Autumn Path School could only pinch his nose and accept his loss!
He gritted his teeth and took out a high-grade spiritual weapon. He had never thought that he would lose, and he had never thought that he would have to give away this spiritual weapon!
However, he didn’t expect that he would lose in a duel that he was sure of!
Ling Qingyun looked at the unyielding expression on the face of the sect leader of the Autumn Path School and sighed.
“The strength of cultivators can not be determined by their cultivation alone. We should have understood this a long time ago when we destroyed the ancient Heretic Sect a thousand years ago.” Ling Qingyun looked at all the cultivators present. She used her spiritual energy to make her voice loud and clear so that all the cultivators present could hear her.
“Yes, the stage is the most basic way to judge a cultivator’s strength. However, there are always heaven’s favorites and evildoers that cannot be judged by ordinary people. Their strength was not something that could be determined by their stage. Fighting one against ten and even killing those of a higher cultivation level is an easy feat to a heaven’s favorite.” As Ling Qingyun spoke slowly, she realized that all the cultivators present had shocked expressions on their faces, and she couldn’t help but feel a wave of sorrow. The five sects had been too peaceful. A thousand years had indeed made many sects forget the might of that ancient Heretic Sect!
“Heaven’s favorites have reached the legendary tenth layer of the Qi cultivation stage and have a perfect foundation establishment. Just the foundation of their stage alone is already several times stronger than ordinary people! Some heaven’s favorite experts even have twice the amount of spiritual energy of an ordinary person, while the evildoers could even reach a terrifying three times! At this time, how could it be difficult to kill an enemy who is one minor stage higher?” As Ling Qingyun spoke, she looked at Su Wanyi, who had just returned.
All the cultivators present looked at Su Wanyi. After all, Su Wanyi had just killed Huo Meng, who was half a rank higher than her, in seconds!
All the cultivators present stared at Su Wanyi intently, as if they could see how Su Wanyi had become a heaven’s favorite expert who could kill enemies of a higher stage!
Su Wanyi stood there quietly. She looked down at her nose and her heart. She was a little embarrassed to be watched by so many people.
“Even Su Wanyi is only a senior sister of our Spirit Valley. Su Lingyun, I believe that all the cultivators present have heard of her. ” Ling Qingyun suddenly said. At this moment, she realized that the moment she blurted out this name, more than half of the cultivators present could not help but tremble.
The weakest of the disciples present was at the late-stage foundation establishment, so they naturally knew Su Lingyun, the chief disciple of Spirit Valley!
Back then, Su Lingyun used her absolute strength to suppress the disciples of the five sects. At first, these disciples thought that Su Lingyun’s cultivation speed was just too fast. Now that they thought about it, not only was Su Lingyun’s cultivation speed fast, but her strength was also stronger than ordinary people’s!
“Is Su Lingyun very powerful?” Ling Qingyun asked.
All the cultivators present nodded. They had all been treated to Su Lingyun’s powerful strength before.
“If I say that Su Lingyun is just a stronger disciple compared to heaven’s favorites from the Heretic Sect a thousand years ago, what would you think?” Ling Qingyun’s words were shocking! One must know that Su Lingyun had suppressed all the disciples of the five sects by herself! No one dared to say that they could defeat Su Lingyun!
In one of the Five Sects Tournament, Su Lingyun had fought against the first disciples of the other four sects alone and defeated them without even having her clothes stained with dust. With such terrifying strength, was she only just a slightly stronger disciple?
Then what were they, these ordinary disciples, worth? Old, weak, sick, and disabled?
Some of the disciples began to feel indignant. After all, they didn’t want to be belittled so much!
“Sect leader of Spirit Valley, you don’t have to be so harsh. After all, the heretic cultivator is dead, and our five sects have been developing for thousands of years. It’s time to give our disciples some confidence.” The Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader couldn’t help but come out and say this when he saw his disciples’ morale suffer a setback.
“The world of the five sects. It seems like you’ve been blinded by this term. After developing for a thousand years, we’ll need to send out all our elites, 3000 late-stage foundation establishment cultivators, and 300 golden core cultivators, even when facing a mere Heretic Saintess. Even the five sect leaders have no choice but to come out to support, isn’t it?” Ling Qingyun said without any trace of politeness.
The Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader’s face turned ugly. Ling Qingyun was right. In recent years, they had indeed been smug about the reputation of the five sects. He only cared about the number of high-stage disciples and forgot to pursue the number.
Now, 3000 foundation establishment cultivators and 300 golden core cultivators seemed to be a large number, but if they didn’t hold the fort and let the disciples rush into the Avici Hell, they would probably be completely annihilated, and their corpses would become the cultivation materials of the Heretic Saintess!
“This battle might be very difficult, but I hope that the disciples of the five sects will wake up and only pursue cultivation. They may be stuck in the foundation establishment stage for the rest of their lives.” Ling Qingyun continued. This time, all the disciples were listening to her attentively.
“Stabilize and strengthen your foundation, focus on yourself. After this crusade, I hope that everyone will pay attention to their own strength and not have no combat power despite having a high cultivation stage.” After Ling Qingyun finished speaking, she waved her hand, and Su Wanyi immediately came forward.
“This high-grade spiritual weapon is a reward to encourage all the disciples to cultivate. Anyone who can defeat Su Wanyi in the same stage can get this high-grade spiritual weapon!” Ling Qingyun said softly. Her words caused all the disciples that were present to be in an uproar!
It was a high-grade spiritual weapon, the sect-protecting spiritual weapon! They only needed to defeat Su Wanyi to get it!
The fighting spirit of many disciples was ignited!
“Sect leader Ling Qingyun is really good. She managed to gather all the disciples ‘attention and even used this opportunity to push all the disciples to work harder. This is something that the Cherishing Jade Sect is truly impressed with.” The sect leader of the Cherishing Jade Sect came forward and said.
“I’ve written here that if it weren’t for this move of yours, my lazy disciples would have only focused on studying the side arts and ignored the root of cultivation.” The sect leader of Myriad Flower School also stepped forward and said.
Ling Qingyun smiled faintly. Her words this time had finally resolved the internal noise of this expedition. It also incited the fighting spirit of the disciples.
As long as these disciples could make it back alive, the five sects would most likely be able to rise to another level.
“Swish!” All of a sudden, the needle appeared on the spiritual board in Ling Qingyun’s hand once more. Qiao’er’s tracks had appeared once again!
