However, the effect on Huang Shiliu’s battle strength could only be said to be ordinary. After all, her powerful physical body was still there.
“Come back!”
Huang Xiaoqi grabbed Huang Shiliu, who was about to run out, and said coldly, “I’ll go.”
At this moment, the group of Phoenix clan disciples also suggested that they go out.
Everyone knew that the first one to go out was the most dangerous.
Once they said that the seal was ineffective or something, they would be forced to ascend.
“Deputy Sect Master, let’s go out.”
“Exactly. You have a body of ten thousand Gold Immortals. You should stay in the sect.”
“I’ll go out and try,” everyone said in a flurry.
Huang Xiaoqi didn’t frown and berated them instead, “What are you fighting for? If I say I’ll go, I’ll go. With my cultivation, I have a way to deal with whatever happens. With your cultivation, if something happens outside, don’t you still need me to take action?”
Huang Xiaoqi’s words calmed everyone down.
After she finished speaking, she directly left the Scripture Pavilion.
And then, it was still the same as before.
Lu Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The advantage of being the first to publicize was naturally that it could stabilize the situation, but the disadvantage was that there would definitely be people who would think of a way to deal with it. It could even be said that there were quite a number of such people.
However, looking at the overall situation, stability was good. As for the individual fish that escaped the net, it actually didn’t matter.
To put it bluntly, he was willing to call himself the ancestor and protect the younger generation. Furthermore, he had a way to stay. That was his ability.
At this moment, in the Azure Cloud sect, Patriarch Zi Yun was lying on a platform.
He wasn’t willing to ascend.
Of course, compared to Huang Xiaoqi’s seal, the price he had to pay was even more painful.
His physical body had already lost all of its vitality.
At this moment, his divine soul was looking up at the sky.
Seeing the celestial tribulation gathering in the sky, he began to dissipate the cultivation base in his divine soul.
This kind of dissipation was irreversible.
In other words, he was dissipating his many years of bitter cultivation.
“Patriarch, I’ve already prepared a body. It’s a clone made from your body. You can enter at any time.” The sect leader of the Azure Cloud sect sent over a young and lively physical body.
The development of technology had improved a lot in this aspect.
However, a cultivator’s possession couldn’t be unlimited.
Even if it was an unconscious clone body.
It was just that when one’s lifespan reached its end, they would use this method.
Possession was actually a great damage to a cultivator’s foundation. To put it in layman’s terms, it was just prolonging one’s life.
Once a cultivator possessed a body, they would have a large amount of karma. The path of cultivation would be even more difficult. If that was the case, it would be easier for one to have a mental demon while cultivating.
In general, the path of cultivation would be even more difficult.
In reality, Lu Ping had never expected that the patriarch of the Qingzhou state sects would have such a strong resistance to ascension.
He would rather dissipate his life force and possess someone else to cultivate, then stay.
As his cultivation base dissipated, the celestial tribulation in the sky slowly dissipated.
The soul of Zi Yun became increasingly dispirited, and finally entered the young body.
When he opened his eyes, they were filled with confusion.
“Sigh…” he sighed.
His ten thousand years of cultivation had vanished into nothingness.
“Patriarch, why are you doing this? There’s nothing wrong with accepting the control of the Heavenly Court,” the sect leader said bitterly.
In fact, he didn’t think much of the patriarch’s decision.
The reason was very simple. The sects’s Immortal stage cultivators didn’t just ascend.
After these people ascended, he would be the one in charge of the sect.
He would be the one who would make the final decision in the sect.
However, the patriarch chose to pay a huge price to stay.
In his opinion, this not only caused the patriarch to lose tens of thousands of years of cultivation, but also gave him an additional restriction in the sect.
The patriarch moved his body and said indifferently, “I don’t like being controlled by others. When I go to the Heavenly Court, I have to listen to others in everything. What’s in it for me? Although I lost some of my cultivation now, it’s still an opportunity!”
“Opportunity? What opportunity?” The Azure Cloud sect’s master was a little confused.
He sighed and said, “Do you know? My cultivation in the Earth Immortal stage hasn’t improved for ten thousand years. For many years, it’s been difficult for me to advance to the next level. I’ve reflected on the reason for it countless times. When it comes to talent, I think I’m a dragon among men. When it comes to resources, after I cultivated, I had countless fortuitous encounters. I even founded this sect and made it the largest sect in the state. It’s a natural treasure that can be easily obtained. When it comes to my Dao heart, I have been cultivating wholeheartedly and have never slacked off in the slightest. However, in the end, it is still the same.”
He continued in a deep voice, “Therefore, I believe that the biggest problem still lies in the cultivation technique. In the path of cultivation, from the beginning of the Qi Refining stage, I have been laying a foundation. I was born from a humble background. In the early years, the cultivation technique was of low quality and my foundation was not solid enough. Even if the cultivation technique’s grade was raised, my foundation was still not solid enough. Cultivation techniques determine the ultimate limit of cultivation. My current cultivation is like a skyscraper built on a pillar. It’s already a miracle that I’ve reached this step. If I want to improve further, it’s impossible. Even if I go to the Heavenly Court and have the so-called Heaven and Earth merit, I don’t think I can change too much.”
He felt helpless.
“Afteryou become the sect master, I’ll leave the matters of the sect to you. If you don’t have any important matters, don’t contact me.”
“Oh? Who do you want to take as your master?” The sect leader was a little confused.
“Naturally, it’s the Seven Phoenixes sect.”
The eyes of the patriarch flashed with a bright light as he said, “The Seven Phoenixes sect possesses the highest grade cultivation technique on Fengming Planet. Being able to enter it would be extremely beneficial to me.”
The sect leader said hesitantly, “The disciples they accept are all at the Foundation Establishment stage and above. You don’t have any cultivation right now. Most importantly, the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix of the Seven Phoenixes sect wouldn’t have discovered any clues, right? It is said that spiritual objects of Heaven and Earth have extremely sharp spiritual senses. Although you have possessed a body and reincarnated, you are still different from ordinary people. If you are discovered by others, what should we do?”
“Hahaha! Have you forgotten? Lu Ping said that all cultivators above the immortal level on Fengming Planet will be forcibly recruited, including demons! Right now, the highest cultivation in the Seven Phoenixes sect is at the Nascent Soul stage. How can I be seen through by a few Nascent Soul stage brats?”
In the last trial, although the Seven Phoenixes sect had shown its potential, it had also exposed the Seven Phoenixes sect’s current lack of strength.
To put it bluntly, they couldn’t even gather three Nascent Soul stage disciples. This was the short-term weakness of the sect.
Hearing him say this, the sect leader was overjoyed.
Good, this old thing was gone. No one could order him around anymore.
On the other side of the Seven Phoenixes sect, Huang Xiaoqi was still testing.
If she acted normally, it would indeed not cause any celestial tribulation.
Her methods were still effective.
Immediately, Huang Xiaoqi released a trace of spirit energy, and in an instant, the wind and clouds gathered in the sky.
Huang Xiaoqi frowned, and then she withdrew her cultivation.
The tribulation clouds dispersed.
Huang Xiaoqi tried to absorb the Heaven and Earth spirit energy again, but this time it was fine, and everything was as usual.
After a round of testing, Huang Xiaoqi entered the Scripture Pavilion.
She told the disciples, “Remember, you can cultivate normally, but if you want to fight, you can’t bring along even a little bit of your cultivation base. If you reveal your cultivation base, you will be sensed. Once the tribulation cloud appears, those below the Gold Immortal stage will find it difficult to escape from the celestial tribulation. At that time, you will be forced to ascend!”
Lu Ping touched his chin and began to think.
In other words, normal cultivators couldn’t fight even if they were on the original planet. Once they attacked, they would be discovered.
Their influence was actually very limited.
But then again, even if these Phoenix disciples didn’t use their cultivation, just their physical strength alone could unleash terrifying battle strength.
After all, their body talent was there.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ping smiled at Huang Xiaoqi and said, “Alright, don’t worry this time. The methods are indeed effective. Just be careful and don’t expose yourself. I have to go to Yun Xiao’s place to take a look.”
“Why?”
Lu Ping sighed and said, “Many people on Fengming Planet know of your existence. There might be some who have a cheap mouth. We have to cover it up.”
