ALL NOVEL Chapter 163.1
In the Xuanxiao Palace, there were more than twenty Core formation cultivators from the Five Regions Sect. These were the strongest men who dominated the Hengwu Continent but rarely appeared in front of others.
When it came to Core formation cultivation, in a place where middle-grade spiritual stones were not abundant, Core formation cultivators were not willing to join too many disputes. They only took action if it involved an interest or an existential crisis for the entire continent.
And the Shura Sect had endangered the survival of Hengwu Immortal Cultivation. If an evil cultivator advanced to Nascent Soul, not only would several major sects be in danger of being destroyed, but even the Core Formation cultivators would not escape death.
So, this time, even the leaders of the Haoyue Immortal Sect and the Biluo Immortal Sect had to come in person.
However, as soon as everyone took their seats, they all noticed that there was an additional young cultivator from the Tianfan Immortal Sect.
This person was no stranger to the Core formation cultivators present. Li Tianyan’s incident of breaking into the training tower in the Haoyue Immortal Sect was still talked about in several areas.
On the contrary, in the Tianfan Immortal Sect, the experience tower had long grown stale. As soon as Li Tianyan was mentioned, what came to mind was the thrilling thunder tribulation.
The Core formation elders in the main hall were all looking at Li Tianyan, but they found that they could not see through his cultivation level, and they couldn’t help but feel suspicious. Judging by his bone age, he was indeed only twenty-one years old.
Elder Wei of the Biluo Immortal Sect was the first to speak, “Little friend Li is indeed very talented. No wonder Sect Master Xuan Zhen values him so much and wants to bring him to an occasion like today.”
How could Xuan Zhen fail to hear what he meant? He just smiled and said to everyone in the hall, “Tianyan just formed the core not long ago, and his cultivation is a little unstable. Don’t be surprised.”
These words were said so lightly, but they were like a thunderbolt thrown into the Xuanxiao Palace.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Core formation masters present all looked at Li Tianyan in disbelief. Even the leader of the Haoyue Immortal Sect, who had always been self-composed, had a crack in his composed expression.
Seeing this, several Core formation elders of the Tianfan Immortal Sect felt secretly pleased. How could it surprise only them every time?
“Isn’t he only a foundation establishment level cultivator? Is Xuan Zhen joking? Pavilion Master, can you see Li Tianyan’s cultivation?”
Pavilion Master of Lianhua Pavilion received the message from an elder, shook his head, and sighed, “You can’t tell, but he does have a hint of core formation’s aura about him. Xuan Zhen is probably not joking.”
“Pavilion Master, Li Tianyan is a core formation at such a young age. The power dynamics in the Hengwu Continent may have to be reshuffled in the future. We should make good allies of the Tianfan Immortal Sect.”
Because of the incident with the Evil Sect, Lianhua Pavilion had suffered a lot. Now it could no longer compete with Feiyun Villa in the Northern Territory, so it was still necessary to find a backer as soon as possible.
“No rush, let’s wait and see.”
“Sect Master, does Li Tianyan also plan to go to another continent? If he truly went away, the Tianfan Immortal Sect may secure the top rank in martial arts…”
The reason why the Haoyue Immortal Sect could firmly occupy the first place in Hengwu was inseparable from the feedback from its disciples in the other continent.
Li Tianyan’s qualifications were incredible. If he were allowed to explore the outside world, he might become like a wild horse, advancing to Nascent Soul, and even becoming a real immortal might not be impossible.
Sect Master of Haoyue Immortal Sect’s spiritual consciousness scanned Li Tianyan’s body several times, his eyes filled with deep thought.
The sect leaders and elders of each sect communicated with each other using voice transmission, with different expressions on their faces. But they didn’t know that Li Tianyan, who was sitting not far away, not only saw their reactions but also heard all their sound transmissions.
Tao Chenghao glanced at Xuan Zhen and the others, and said with some reluctance, “The Tianfan Immortal Sect really has a stroke of good luck.”
No one knew what kind of luck the Tianfan Immortal Sect had encountered. Not long ago, the sect leader and several Core formation elders had advanced one after another, catching up with their Biluo Immortal Sect. Now, there was an anomaly like Li Tianyan.
“Let’s not dwell on that. We’ve summoned everyone here today because we have important matters to discuss. Let’s get down to business,” Xuan Zhen said, directing everyone’s attention back to the topic at hand.
Sooner or later, the news of Li Tianyan’s advancing would spread. Several members of the Tianfan Immortal Sect had thought about it and decided there was no need to hide it. However, they didn’t want to provoke envy at this time, so they didn’t make any fuss.
After Xuan Zhen’s reminder, the others remembered the purpose of their gathering. They set aside their sour feelings and prepared to listen to what Xuan Zhen had to say.
Xuan Zhen didn’t waste any time. He took out the memory stone that Li Tianyan had given him, placed it on a bronze mirror, and then pointed the bronze mirror toward the people in the hall so that everyone could see it clearly.
Upon seeing this, many Core formation masters invested their spiritual consciousness into Xuan Zhen’s hands. The image in the light mirror showed the Shura battlefield.
Li Tianyan had secretly sent his spiritual eye to the Shura battlefield a few days ago and retained the image reflected by the spiritual eye.
However, for safety reasons, Li Tianyan didn’t allow his spiritual eye to get close to the Shura Sect’s palace and instead let it wander around the periphery of the Shura battlefield.
In the mirror, the Shura battlefield appeared comparable to the largest town in the Central Territory. The sky above the Shura battlefield was obscured by a blood-coloured thick fog, making it impossible to see the sky.
