Inspection Team

Xuanzhou was thrown into complete chaos, and the first to react were the holy lands and major sects that stood at the top of the immortal sect ecosystem.

The sudden emergence of someone like Lu Bai will definitely affect their status, so they must prepare for it as soon as possible.

Such astonishing news could not be kept secret. It spread from top to bottom, gradually reaching all the major and minor immortal sects in Xuanzhou, and even reached the ears of rogue cultivators.

Even though these things have nothing to do with ordinary people, they can still sense that the immortals, who used to be so high and mighty, have become noticeably more nervous lately.

I don't know what happened, I don't understand what's going on, all I know is that even the immortals are afraid, which is simply unbelievable.

As time went on, the entire Xuanzhou was plunged into a state of widespread panic.

On the misty mountain peak, a crack suddenly appeared on the chessboard placed in front of the old man in white robes.

"Broken."

The old man in white robes seemed to awaken from a dream, a hint of fear flashing in his deep eyes.

He then took out two pieces of tortoise shell from his storage ring, muttered incantations, and finally threw the two pieces of tortoise shell out.

The old man in white robes carefully examined the shape of the tortoise shell, and a look of worry gradually crept onto his face.

"The secrets of heaven are shrouded; who exactly is this person?"

"Monster! That's a monster! Even Immortal Artifact can't hurt him!" shouted an old man with disheveled hair as he walked across the land.

Ordinary people or low-level cultivators along the way dared not even entertain the idea of taking advantage of the situation.

After all, although this old man appeared to be crazy, he naturally exuded a powerful aura, indicating that he was at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

The difference in their levels of existence is so great that even ordinary people can't help but bow down in awe when they get close.

It was clear that this old man was one of the survivors who had escaped from the battle at the Qingwang Sect's mountain gate.

While passing through a city, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator bravely approached to investigate.

They found that the other person's physical body was intact, without any wounds, but their Primordial Spirit was extremely dim, so weak that it seemed as if it would dissipate at any moment.

Upon discovering this, the Nascent Soul stage cultivator was utterly terrified and lost his composure.

It should be noted that such injuries to the Primordial Spirit are not uncommon; in layman's terms, it is what is known as the Dao heart collapse.

But this old man's cultivation level was at least at the Nascent Soul stage. What terrifying thing could he have encountered to be so shocked that he was about to Feathered Ascension?

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator was a little panicked, feeling that he had stumbled upon such a great secret and might be in mortal danger.

He was considered a veteran Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

He knew very well that in front of true powerhouses, those at the Nascent Soul stage were nothing more than larger ants.

This rogue cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage sensed something was wrong and immediately turned back to the city, telling his disciples that he was going into seclusion and not to disturb him no matter what happened.

Golden Scale Holy Land, Golden Lotus Hall.

This is a forbidden area that only direct disciples are allowed to enter.

The hall was usually deserted, but now it was filled with a number of people.

The Holy Lord and the elders gathered together for a high-level internal meeting.

Two elderly men with white hair and beards sat at the head of the table. They were the only two remaining Grand Elder the Golden Scale Holy Land, representing the true foundation of the immortal sect.

"Have you all seen the message that the third brother sent back? What are your thoughts? Let's hear them," the First Elder said, her tone neither joyful nor sorrowful.

After a moment of contemplation, the Golden Scale Holy Lord said, "First, we need to ascertain what that person's true intentions are. If they easily lead the entire Holy Land to submit, they might be used. Once they lose their usefulness, they will be discarded like worn-out shoes."

With the Golden Scale Holy Lord taking the lead, the other elders also spoke up one after another.

To be honest, they were all quite dissatisfied with the Third Supreme's actions; no one likes someone suddenly putting a powerful figure above them.

However, some elders learned about Lu Bai's methods through various channels. Since they couldn't defeat him despite their best efforts, it seemed like a good idea to sell their own family for a good price as soon as possible.

Inside the noisy hall, an elder whispered, "Everyone should know about that person's background. His cultivation has soared to the Mahayana stage in such a short time, and he possesses many methods that we cannot understand. It is no exaggeration to call Mortal-Transcending Immortal."

"We cultivators seek nothing more than to ascend to immortality and attain eternal life. Now that an immortal is before us, choosing to submit is the only logical course of action."

An elder chimed in, "It should be known that since ancient times, the earlier one follows a dragon, the greater the benefits. Don't think that only our Golden Scale Holy Land has this idea."

This is not an isolated incident.

Such high-level internal meetings were being held throughout Xuanzhou.

All the major and minor sects in the cultivation world are discussing matters concerning Lu Bai.

The immortal sects that chose to relocate have already set off and are probably almost at the border of Xuanzhou now.

These immortal sects, unwilling to abandon their ancestral heritage, had to consider how to deal with an invincible being like Lu Bai.

But,

To everyone's surprise, half a month passed peacefully after the battle ended.

Instead of striking while the iron was hot and using the momentum of his great victory to force the major immortal sects to submit, Lu Bai chose to remain silent.

They even released some of the disciples from the various immortal sects who had besieged the mountain gate, allowing them to return to their own sects.

The various immortal sects had no idea what Lu Bai was trying to do. As for Lu Bai's complete indifference, and his apparent acceptance of letting the matter pass?

Realistically speaking, a ruthless person who wiped out so many elders and luminaries in one fell swoop could not possibly be easily defeated.

The unknown is often the most terrifying.

The uncertainty surrounding the final verdict has plunged the various immortal sects of Xuanzhou into a state of constant anxiety.

Lu Bai, of course, didn't care what the various immortal sects were thinking; he was busy training his "Inspection Team."

The Qingwang Sect Gate was once used as the plaza for entrance examinations.

Lu Bai sat cross-legged on the two-person-high Dao Seeking Stone in the center of the square, scrutinizing the team in front of him composed of surviving high-ranking members of various immortal sects.

Leading the group were naturally the Third Supreme of the Golden Scale Holy Land and Sect Master Xun of the Taishi Sect.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this team only has twenty-seven people at most; they are all at least at the Integration stage, and there are even four cultivators at the Mahayana stage.

It wasn't that Lu Bai looked down on Nascent Soul stage cultivators; it was simply that in that chaotic situation, once the pressure of the Immortal Artifact dropped, Nascent Soul stage cultivators were completely unable to participate and were all suppressed to the ground.

This is precisely why most of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators survived and took the opportunity to escape from the Qingwang Sect.

"Senior Lü, we have thoroughly studied the laws you have formulated and are ready to carry out our disciplinary work at any time."

The Third Supreme stepped forward, standing ramrod straight, showing no trace of his previous otherworldly demeanor.

One could say that while his physical body was tough, his physique was quite flexible.
