The Assembly Begins

With Lu Bai's move, the immense magical Mana representing the Golden Core stage swept through the restaurant without restraint.

It's just that since there were no cultivators above the Golden Core stage present, it was impossible to accurately determine his specific cultivation level.

In fact, on the sixth day after Lu Bai embarked on the path of cultivation, he easily entered the late stage of the Golden Core realm thanks to his extremely powerful talent.

And this is not even his limit.

It's worth noting that he also retained an ability called the [Mental Time Chamber], which allowed him to elevate his cultivation to unimaginable levels whenever he wished.

Perhaps because his cultivation level improved too quickly, he was unable to achieve perfect control and lacked the various magical treasures and supernatural abilities that a cultivator should possess.

But these are all trivial matters in the face of an absolutely overwhelming level of cultivation.

Their main tactic is to intimidate others with their power.

The mortals in the restaurant had already fled when they sensed the situation was not good. Those who remained in the restaurant were mostly rogue cultivators who had come to join the fun and disciples from various immortal sects.

They were all incredulous and paled when they saw Xi Ao Yan being sent flying by Lu Bai's Mana handprint.

"What!?"

"Who is this person? How can he possess such profound cultivation?"

"When did such a monstrous talent appear in the Qingwang Sect?"

"The Yuhuo Cult's once-in-a-century genius is so utterly vulnerable in this person's hands. Even the Holy Son and daughters of the great holy lands are no better than this!"

Not to mention these disciples of the immortal sects, even the disciples of the Qingwang Sect themselves were all shocked after seeing this scene.

To be precise, it was actually more unbelievable to Fatty Feng and his group.

After all, they knew Lu Bai's background very well, knowing that he had only been cultivating for a week at most.

"No... impossible." Xi Ao Yan's face was deathly pale.

He took a blow from Lu Bai, and every bone in his body was shattered. Most of his body became a bloody mess, and he couldn't even stand up.

Having faced Lu Bai's attack head-on, Xi Ao Yan had lost all will to fight. He felt as if he had crashed into a hundred-ton construction vehicle, and even doubted whether he could even be considered a speed bump under Lu Bai's attack.

After Lu Bai revealed his cultivation level, the Drinking Youth on the second floor could no longer sit still and stood up with a solemn expression.

Even if Xi Ao Yan were at the same cultivation level as him, as a disciple of the Jiange, he would be confident enough to suppress his opponent with the various secret techniques and supernatural abilities of the Jiange.

But it's different when facing Lu Bai; the difference in their cultivation levels isn't so easy to bridge.

Compared to the astonished cultivators around him, Lu Bai's expression remained unchanged, still bearing an extremely kind smile.

The remaining disciples of the Yuhuo Cult naturally dared not continue to confront Lu Bai. They reluctantly used the excuse of finding someone to rescue Xi Ao Yan to slink away with the critically injured Xi Ao Yan, without even having time to collect the body of the dark-skinned young man.

"Fellow Daoist, you truly possess remarkable skills. May I ask your name?" The Drinking Youth, cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Bai.

"Qingwang Sect, Lu Bai."

Lu Bai responded politely.

The other party was a decent person, so Lu Bai naturally wouldn't deliberately cause trouble.

The Drinking Youth used some kind of lightness technique to land gracefully, then walked up to Lu Bai: "Fellow Daoist Lü, you're also here to participate in the Dao Commencement Assembly, right?"

"You could say that."

"Before leaving the mountain gate, my master warned me that there are countless talented people in the world, but I didn't take it seriously. I never expected to meet such a hero as Fellow Daoist Lü today."

The Drinking Youth, exclaimed with emotion, "In that case, we'll meet again at the Dao Commencement Assembly. I'll be waiting to see Fellow Daoist Lü Divine Might at the assembly."

After saying that, the Drinking Youth untied the gourd from his waist, tilted his head back, and chugged it down his throat. He walked away as he drank, looking quite dashing.

The other cultivators in the restaurant, probably feeling they weren't qualified, watched quietly and didn't approach Lu Bai to talk like the Drinking Youth.

After a long pause, Fatty Feng finally recovered from his disbelief.

He looked at the dark-skinned young man's body on the ground and said hesitantly, "Senior Brother Lü, shouldn't we inform Elder Wang about this?"

Lu Bai stroked his chin, not taking the matter to heart, and then said...

"Let's settle into the accommodations arranged by the Purple Cloud Villa first."

After all, the Dao Commencement Assembly was imminent, and cultivators were everywhere in Ziyun City.

After Lu Bai led the Qingwang Sect disciples away, the events that had occurred in the restaurant spread rapidly, like wildfire.

However, it wouldn't be to say that this matter has caused a major uproar.

As some of the spectators said at the time, Golden Core cultivators under the age of thirty are indeed very talented, extremely rare, but not nonexistent.

To be precise, the leading figures of each generation of young people in those top sects are basically at the Golden Core stage.

When people heard about it, they at most thought that Qingwang Sect had struck it lucky to have found such a talented disciple.

Unless it's revealed that Lu Bai reached this level after only one week of cultivation, it will just be something to talk about over tea, nothing more.

In any case, most of the immortal sect disciples who participated in the Dao Commencement Assembly would not have considered such a prodigy as their opponent.

This news seemed to spur the geniuses on, prompting them to begin showcasing their abilities.

Lu Bai, who was staying at the Daoist temple arranged by the Purple Cloud Villa, also heard the rumors.

Rumor has it that the true disciples of the Taishi Sect True Inheritance the city and immediately engaged in battle with the Sword Wielding Disciple of the Jiange.

That True Inheritance exuded profound true meaning, his whole body radiating light, like a human-shaped sun.

However, the Sword Wielding Disciple of the Jiange in this generation possess a natural sword heart, with their soaring sword intent revealing its sharp edge.

The clash between the two younger generations created a spectacle that was almost as impressive as that of the older generation.

Soon after, news spread that the Holy Son of the Golden Scale Holy Land had declared that the Young Academy Master of the Fongong Academy should come and submit to him, attracting the attention of many.

For a time, Ziyun City was a scene of great upheaval and turmoil.

Originally, Lu Bai thought these things had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't help but be instigated by many death fighters, and people would often come to the entrance of Lu Bai's dojo to provoke him.

Lu Bai casually killed two groups of troublemakers, only to find it pointless and completely intimidating.

Simply giving them a lesson is meaningless, but continuing the killings could easily incite public outrage.

I decided to ignore it and patiently wait for the Dao Commencement Assembly to begin.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long.

The next day,

As dawn broke, a tremendous drumbeat suddenly resounded throughout every corner of the city.

Translucent purple clouds stretched across the sky, pointing towards the square in the city center.

The Dao Commencement Assembly is about to begin.
