Chapter 1065: Tianbao Pavilion Takes Action
Not only were many people present surprised, even Liu Bai Ru was shocked.
This Xu Nian is not only powerful but also an Array Master, and a top-grade one at that.
It's well-known that becoming an Array Master is even harder than cultivation, requiring extremely high comprehension skills.
Lin Wu's expression also changed, and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
This Killing Array gave him a dangerous feeling. If it really came down to a fight, he might not be able to withstand this Killing Array.
This gave him a sense of being slapped in the face.
Standing in the crowd, Mei Ji seemed a bit disappointed, completely dispelling any doubts about Xu Nian.
In her impression, Xu Nian was a top-grade Artifact Refiner, not a top-grade Array Master.
"So, do you still have anything to say? My junior brother, Xu Ping, is a genius in formations, mastering ten types of super Killing Arrays and even involving taboo formations. If it really comes to a fight, I guarantee you'll be doubting your life." Shi Guangxu said arrogantly and sarcastically, staring at Lin Wu with mocking eyes.
The faces of everyone around changed, even the Tianbao Pavilion Master and Elder Yu Mo showed looks of surprise.
If this young man truly mastered taboo formations, it would be a huge threat to them as well.
Lin Wu, however, looked furious but couldn't refute.
"He's a top-grade Array Master, I admit I was wrong, but what about you? Could it be that you're also a top-grade Array Master?" Lin Wu coldly snorted at Shi Guangxu.
He didn't believe Shi Guangxu was a top-grade Array Master. If Shi Guangxu really was, he might as well take a knife to his own throat.
"I'm indeed not a top-grade Array Master, but I'm going to Hell Sea. What's it to you?" Shi Guangxu retorted confidently.
"You..." Lin Wu hadn't expected the other party to speak so boldly.
"What 'you' or not, if you want to cause trouble, just do it directly. Why bother making all sorts of fake excuses here?" Shi Guangxu looked at him with disdain.
"Hmph, scoundrel, do you not know how dangerous the Hell Sea is? You, in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, going there might drag us all down, could you bear that responsibility?" Lin Wu coldly retorted.
"What a demoralizing remark. If you think I'll drag you down, you can choose not to go." Shi Guangxu once again showed his inherent knack for frustrating others.
Lin Wu's face turned red with anger; this guy was impossibly shameless.
"Is the Young Sect Master Lin implying that those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage aren't qualified to go to Hell Sea? Does that mean I am also unqualified to go?"
At this moment, Mei Ji's voice rang out from the crowd.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at Mei Ji.
No one expected Mei Ji to stand out and speak on behalf of the Tiande Sect.
It was obvious to everyone that Lin Wu wasn't targeting cultivators in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but rather the Tiande Sect, provoking Liu Bai Ru to take action.
Therefore, Mei Ji's intention was clear, to protect the Tiande Sect.
As everyone looked at Mei Ji, they also glanced at the Tianbao Pavilion Master.
The Tianbao Pavilion Master just smiled without any intention of stopping her.
Seeing this, everyone once again turned their focus back to Liu Bai Ru, as if asking when the Tiande Sect and Tianbao Pavilion started working together.
Liu Bai Ru was also a bit surprised at this moment, not expecting the people of Tianbao Pavilion to stand up for them.
Lin Wu's expression was extremely ugly; the sudden intervention of Tianbao Pavilion caught him off guard.
He looked at his father, Lin Shanhai, who shook his head.
So Lin Wu stopped speaking.
"Haha, everyone is going to Hell Sea together tomorrow, so maintaining harmony is the best. Please, follow me." Guihai Badao, the Guihai Family Master, seeing the situation could not escalate into a fight, laughed and spoke up.
Xu Nian looked down upon this, thinking that Guihai Family should have stepped in earlier or later, but it's clear their current stance favors the Mountain Sea Sect.
If it seemed he were to take action against Guihai Family, the Mountain Sea Sect wouldn't stand by idly.
"Then, let's deal with them together!" Xu Nian resolved in his heart, a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes and then vanished.
The Killing Array he just used was taught to him by Emperor Ye Tian.
In fact, he hasn't fully mastered it; he only released it to frighten people.
The reason he agreed to this Ancient Sage Sect trip was also because of Emperor Ye Tian's request.
According to Emperor Ye Tian, the greatest threat he would face next would be the Heavenly Tribulation of the Nine Level Heaven Forbidden.
This tribulation would be terrifying, so he must prepare well to confront it.
While crossing the tribulation, it's necessary for his true self and avatar to merge and face it together, otherwise, it would be very difficult to overcome this tribulation.
Moreover, before that, he needs to seek more opportunities to strengthen his power.
So this opportunity from the Sage Sect must not be easily missed.
On this, Dao Tian Rat and Emperor Ye Tian had the same view.
Currently, he was just a step away from sensing the Heavenly Tribulation; as long as Xu Nian is willing, he can take that step at any time.
But Xu Nian didn't dare to easily cross the tribulation.
Soon, the Guihai Family arranged accommodations for everyone.
In the courtyard where Xu Nian and others were staying, Liu Bai Ru looked at Xu Nian in surprise and asked, "You really are a top-grade Array Master?"
"He is not only a top-grade Array Master but also a top-grade Artifact Refiner!" Shi Guangxu answered eagerly from the side.
Liu Bai Ru's eyes widened in surprise, revealing a look of disbelief that someone could be both a top-grade Array Master and an Artifact Refiner?
How did Xu Nian manage to cultivate this way?
Xu Nian awkwardly smiled and said, "Sister Liu, there's no need to be surprised, I was just lucky to have encountered some opportunities and apprenticed under a few very powerful masters."
Liu Bai Ru nodded, having no doubt about the truth of Xu Nian's words.
Without a few powerful mentors, who could teach such a heaven-defying disciple?
No wonder Xu Nian disregarded the position of the Tiande Sect Master.
"For this Hell Sea journey, be extremely careful. It seems the Mountain Sea Sect is planning something against us, and even the Guihai Family is ready to collude with them. These useless guys, I haven't even troubled them, yet they are looking for us first." Liu Bai Ru snorted coldly.
Xu Nian smiled slightly and took a bottle of Pill from his pocket, handing it to Liu Bai Ru, "Sister Liu, this is a Nirvana Pill. Eating it should allow you to break through to the Late Stage Earth Immortal in a short time."
"Nirvana Pill?" Liu Bai Ru was full of surprise, not expecting Xu Nian to have such a top-grade Spiritual Pill.
This kind of Pill is the crème de la crème, able to help a Middle Stage Earth Immortal accelerate the tempering of their Immortal Body.
But such a Pill is too precious, even the Tianbao Pavilion might not be able to produce one.
Xu Nian actually gave the Pill away?
"I can't take it, it's too valuable..." Liu Bai Ru was about to refuse when Xu Nian interrupted.
"Sister Liu, this Hell Sea mission will be extremely dangerous, I happened to obtain this Pill by accident. By breaking through, you can better protect us, so don't decline." Xu Nian said with a smile.
This Pill was obtained from an Immortal Emperor he killed in a forbidden zone in the Black Corner Domain. He originally intended to keep it, but now it seemed more suitable for Liu Bai Ru.
As for himself, he didn't need such a Pill at all.
"Alright, then I'll accept it." Liu Bai Ru nodded and accepted the Nirvana Pill.
"Xu Nian, quick, do you have any Pills to help me enhance my strength? Give me one?" Shi Guangxu hurriedly smiled and asked.
Xu Nian just smiled, and with Shi Guangxu's face full of anticipation, replied, "No!"
Shi Guangxu's face instantly darkened with fury.
