Chapter 1060: Gathering of the Strong
Guihai Star, at this moment bustling and lively.
Numerous cultivators are coming and going here, prompting the Guihai family to specially build this teleportation array.
Xu Nian and Liu Bai Ru utilized the teleportation array, arriving directly on Guihai Star.
However, the Guihai family did not set up the teleportation array within Guihai City, but instead built a new base point outside Guihai City.
Xu Nian walked out from the base point, looking towards Guihai City not far ahead.
The last time they set this Guihai City ablaze, now it has been rebuilt.
Not only is it more magnificent than before, but even the building area is much larger than before.
"Tsk tsk, the Guihai family is indeed wealthy, actually using Black Dragon Jade Stone for construction, this kind of hardness could probably withstand a full-force strike from a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert. Is this because they're afraid of someone causing trouble again?" Shi Guangxu teased with a laugh.
The playfulness in his eyes was self-evident.
Obviously, he had an urge to burn down the newly built Guihai City by the Guihai family.
At that time, the expression on Guihai Family Master Guihai Batian's face would definitely be intriguing.
Liu Bai Ru couldn't help but glare at Shi Guangxu.
This guy was full of mischief, how could she not know what he was thinking?
The key is that if he wants to cause trouble, he needs enough strength. Without enough strength, it's essentially courting death.
Thinking of this, she involuntarily looked towards Xu Nian.
Regarding Xu Nian, ever since she witnessed Xu Nian's strength, she has always admired him immensely.
Later on, Xu Nian even took out the precious Dao Trace Fruit to save her, which filled her heart with gratitude.
She knew Xu Nian only took it out because of Shi Guangxu, otherwise, such an invaluable item wouldn't be easily given away.
"Xu Nian, if someone asks about you later, just say you are a disciple of Tiande Sect, and go by the name Xu Ping." Liu Bai Ru said to Xu Nian.
"Alright!" Xu Nian nodded with a smile, he had the same intention.
Watching the continuous flow of people emerging from the teleportation array, Xu Nian knew today would be exceptionally lively for the Guihai family.
Liu Bai Ru also nodded, increasingly seeing the worth in this young man before her.
Calm and composed, not only with formidable strength and exceptional talent, but also without arrogance or impatience, a truly rare genius.
If she were a few hundred years younger, she felt she would definitely fall for such a youth.
But now...
"Haha, Liu the beautiful, didn't expect you to come as well. I originally thought you wouldn't show up."
At this moment, a loud laugh rang out.
Soon after, Xu Nian and his companions saw three people walking out from the base point.
Two men and one woman.
The leader was a middle-aged man with golden hair, burly, like a lion. He was the one who spoke.
His cultivation was not low, having already reached the Middle Stage Earth Immortal, just a step away from the Late Stage Earth Immortal.
Behind him stood a pair of young man and woman, both of whom had reached the Early Stage Earth Immortal, though merely at the Early Stage Earth Immortal.
Upon seeing this person, Liu Bai Ru also smiled.
At the same time, she transmitted to Xu Nian: "This person is Yuan Ba, the Sect Leader of the Batian Sect. I suppose you know of the Batian Sect."
"I do. The fourth-ranked power in the Tianhen Star Domain, right after the Mountain Sea Sect, and its strength is on par with Tiande Sect." Xu Nian replied via sound transmission.
In the Tianhen Star Domain, there are many forces, among which the top-ranked is Mu Residence.
The second is Tianbao Pavilion.
The third is the Mountain Sea Sect, Liu Bai Ru's enemy.
As for the fourth, it's the Batian Sect, and the fifth is the Tiande Sect.
The Guihai family originally ranked eighth, but now they might have climbed to sixth.
The Batian Sect's main focus on Body Cultivation is somewhat similar to Xu Nian's Divine Demon Sect.
However, because the line of Body Cultivation has broken, after crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, they are forced to switch to Spirit Cultivation.
The trio in front of them is such.
Yuan Ba's traces of Body Cultivation are not obvious, but the two young people behind him still retain strong traces of Body Cultivation, not yet fully converted.
Thinking of this, Xu Nian felt somewhat relieved that he was cultivating the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique.
He can continue cultivating without being forced to switch, otherwise, his Spirit Body Dual Cultivation would lose its significance.
With the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique, once reaching the Earth Immortal realm, the path of cultivation will diverge entirely from Spirit Cultivation, becoming a new journey altogether.
"Lion Yuan, I didn't expect you haven't broken through to the Late Stage Earth Immortal. You entered the Earth Immortal realm a hundred years earlier than me," Liu Bai Ru mocked.
"Hmph, if not for the troublesome switch from Body Cultivation to Spirit Cultivation, how could I be this slow? However, once we Body Cultivators achieve Immortal Body Completion, we still have significant advantages," Yuan Ba retorted, not convinced.
Indeed, though the Body Cultivator's physique is refined, converting can be difficult, but once successful, the Immortal Body's strength surpasses that of Spirit Cultivators.
Liu Bai Ru smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Yuan Ba had no intention to continue arguing, glanced at the Third Elder beside him, then focused on Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu, an arrogant smile spreading across his face.
"Haha, Liu the beautiful, it looks like your Tiande Sect really has declined, not even a single disciple of Earth Immortal realm?" Yuan Ba laughed.
Upon hearing this, the young man and woman behind him also sported smug smiles.
Angry, Liu Bai Ru felt her sore spot was being poked.
Although Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu weren't disciples of their sect, it was true they had no Earth Immortal disciples within the sect.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be considering Xu Nian for the role of sect inheritor.
Xu Nian, unfazed by Yuan Ba's mockery, chuckled internally, dismissive.
If Yuan Ba knew he possessed the Divine Demon Refining Body Technique, he might kneel down begging to become his disciple.
"Lion Yuan, are you looking for a fight?" Liu Bai Ru glared at Yuan Ba.
"Haha, I'm not going to fight you; your enemy isn't me." Yuan Ba laughed heartily, walking past Liu Bai Ru.
The young man and woman behind him also lifted their heads high, walking past as well.
"Tch, what's there to be proud of, Xu Nian could take on both of you with one hand," Shi Guangxu scoffed at the three walking away.
"Why don't you mention yourself?" Liu Bai Ru retorted, glaring at him.
Shi Guangxu immediately deflated, saying no more.
"Let's go too!" suggested Liu Bai Ru.
Just as they were about to leave, the teleportation array lit up once more, revealing three figures to everyone's sight.
With the appearance of these three figures, a subtle expression emerged on Xu Nian's face.
Because these three were from the Tianbao Pavilion, and one of the women among them was none other than the Innate Charm Body, Mei Ji.
Shi Guangxu also noticed this and gave Xu Nian a questioning look.
But Xu Nian subtly shook his head, indicating not to reveal his identity.
Shi Guangxu wore a helpless expression.
Xu Nian appeared indifferent, not because he didn't trust Mei Ji, but because he did not wish to involve her just yet.
