Immortal Artifact
Qingwang Sect Mountain Gate.
The once ethereal and otherworldly environment has long since vanished.
The fierce fighting among the disciples of the immortal sects had left the mountain gate stained with blood.
According to current statistics, more than half of the disciples of the Qingwang Sect have been killed or wounded, and all the surviving disciples are injured.
There's nothing they can do about it; compared to their opponents, the gap in both quantity and quality is simply too vast.
At best, they can only achieve a temporary stalemate by fighting to the death.
Fortunately, the commotion caused by Lu Bai's appearance was so great that it forced the fighting to stop throughout the mountain gate.
After all, the disciples of the various immortal sects all knew that these low-level cultivators were merely there to lend a hand and incidentally pick up some scraps from the destruction of mountains and temples.
What truly determines the course of events are the powerful beings within their minds.
Not only were the disciples inside the mountain gate silently observing, but Yuxu Zi and several elders of the Qingwang Sect were also looking at the sky, waiting to see how things would develop.
For a long time after Lu Bai finished speaking, no one spoke.
However, this does not mean that these high-ranking members of the immortal sects have no objections to this.
Above the Qingwang Sect's mountain gate, clouds from all directions gradually converged, revealing figures within each, each exuding extraordinary power.
If a well-informed disciple of a cultivation sect were to identify it, they would likely be so shocked that they would be at a loss for words.
Because these powerful figures all have incredibly impressive backgrounds; they are either Sect Master of major sects or elders of holy lands.
Some of the older generation, who were even rumored to have passed away at an advanced age, were also among them.
These powerful figures from the immortal sects all possessed Nascent Soul stage, with many being Mahayana stage at the Mahayana stage.
It was obvious that most of them did not look very well.
That makes sense.
They were all heavyweight figures who reigned supreme in their own sects, and who dared to disrespect them in Xuanzhou?
However, now that so many of them are gathered together, and they are being bullied by a junior like Lu Bai, even the best self-control cannot remain calm.
However, after Lu Bai appeared, he beat the Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land into submission without saying a word, and then crushed the newly emerged Elder Jian with lightning speed.
The strength demonstrated by this series of actions is indeed not something that can be easily dealt with.
This caused the higher-ups of these immortal sects to dare not provoke them rashly anymore, and they could only express their dissatisfaction through silence.
If any influential figure were to stand up and unequivocally oppose it, these high-ranking members of the immortal sects would certainly not hesitate to kick them while they're down.
The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land finally caught his breath, took a short break to adjust his breathing, and then gracefully ascended into the sky.
The Grand Elder observed the situation and understood.
However, perhaps because he couldn't bring himself to say anything, he simply moved discreetly toward Lu Bai.
Lu Bai waited for a while, his patience wearing thin. Seeing that the higher-ups of the various immortal sects still hadn't responded, he put away the smile on his face.
"It seems you have all made your choices."
Suddenly, a hazy divine light emanated from his body, and wisps of azure magic Mana rose from within him. Finally, an Immortal Dao Flower condensed and took shape above his head.
In an instant, the air around him became incredibly fragrant, as if a single breath could prolong life.
It appeared harmless and full of profound mysteries of immortality, yet the high-ranking members of the immortal sects present all changed color and tacitly prepared to take action.
"Fellow Daoist Lü, do not make a mistake." The Sect Master of the Taishi Sect cautiously advised, though he had already decided to back down and had no intention of fighting at all.
The leader of the Yuhuo Cult looked around. The presence of these powerful senior figures around him clearly emboldened him considerably. He said grimly, "If this boy makes a move, he will be making an enemy of the entire Xuanzhou."
"I don't really want to take action."
Lu Bai sighed helplessly, "How many people do you want me to kill before you'll know your place?"
Phew!
A flash of red light appeared in the clouds, followed by a sharp whistling sound.
Upon closer inspection, it was a large, blood-red halberd that burst through the clouds and shot towards Lu Bai.
Clearly, a powerful entity has chosen to strike first.
This attack was like the starting gun before a 100-meter race.
The other high-ranking members of the immortal sects no longer hesitated, and they unleashed their Mana, each employing their own methods.
In an instant, a large amount of Mana surged in the sky, so much so that the overflow of this Mana formed a turbulent current resembling a gale from the heavens.
Lu Bai remained unfazed, relying on his "Steel Body" to withstand the attack.
Amidst the dense clanging sounds, his body seemed to be cast from metal, with sparks flying all over his body.
These attacks couldn't actually hurt him; on the contrary, he had to use some of his Mana to protect the clothes on his body.
Lu Bai wouldn't just stand there and take the beating; he suddenly moved.
Incidentally, the stronger the user, the more pronounced the effect of the [Flash Time] ability will be.
With his current Mahayana stage cultivation level, even if the Dao Injury to his Primordial Spirit prevents him from going all out, he can still guarantee to kill a cultivator above the Integration stage every time he uses [Flash Time].
Seeing Lu Bai charging around recklessly, with all his attacks proving ineffective, the Taishi Sect Master's pupils contracted.
Although he had already noticed that Lu Bai's physical strength was extremely terrifying, seeing it to this extent still made him feel a chill run down his spine.
"Fellow Daoist, be careful!"
"How astonishing! Even the physical bodies of ancient savage beasts are probably no more than this."
"Fellow Daoist Xun! Stop holding back, quickly awaken the Immortal Artifact!"
It should be noted that the cultivators in this world of cultivation do not follow the path of self-centeredness and individualism.
A cultivator's strength largely depends on their spiritual techniques and magical treasures. This is why rogue cultivators can only be suppressed when facing cultivators with established masters at the same cultivation level.
Seeing Lu Bai defeat several fellow cultivators in a short period of time, no sect leader could remain calm.
Three imposing old men sat cross-legged in mid-air, summoning a bronze bell. The bell was covered in rust, yet it exuded an ancient and simple Dao Charm, growing taller as it was lifted by the wind.
The three people's nascent souls burst forth from their respective crowns, carrying innate divine light, and entered the enormous bronze bell.
Clang!!!
The bronze bell immediately emitted a clear, resounding hum that echoed throughout the heavens and earth, its sound waves even visible to the naked eye, distorting the space along its path.
An indescribable, heavy pressure enveloped the entire sky, causing even Nascent Soul stage cultivators to fall uncontrollably.
The power of the Immortal Artifact was so great that even the cultivator's Primordial Spirit couldn't help but tremble; this was a magic weapon belonging to a true immortal.
Under the pressure of the immortals, one either has to rely on cultivation levels above the Integration stage to withstand it, or one has to rely on one's own magical treasure for protection.
In order to resist the influence of this Immortal Artifact, the higher-ups of the immortal sects with slightly lower cultivation levels could only revive their own Immortal Artifact first.
At the same time, auras of the same level rose from various places, including the enormous golden lotus flower not far away.
