I'm Just at the Qi Refining Stage-even My Enemies Know It!

Although all the major sects present wanted to occupy the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode for themselves, the Earth Immortal Ancient City was, after all, taken by the Righteous Path Alliance and the Demonic Sect Alliance effort. Moreover, Bai Qiuran was also present and watching.

In this Cultivation World, there's always a need for the Demonic Sect villainous sects to play the bad cop in order to keep the Righteous Path Alliance aligned with the Righteous Path in its overall ideology.

It should be noted that nearly a thousand years ago, before the war between the Dao and the Demonic Sects took place, when the Demonic Sect were rampant, the places these three sects passed through were littered with corpses. Even the Yin Ling Sect, which had the most "mild" style of conduct, left no graves for the extinct in its wake.

To some extent, Bai Qiuran's acquaintance with a demon like Huangfu Feng, his support for Su Xiangxue's rise to power, and his establishment of diplomatic relations with the elders of the Yin Ling Sect have already limited the harm that the Demonic Sect could cause to the greatest extent possible.

Therefore, Bai Qiuran cannot allow the power of the Righteous Path Alliance to grow Temperance. Otherwise, as the Tao grows stronger, the demons will weaken, and the organization will inevitably begin to rot from within. This is human nature, and even Cultivators are not exempt from it.

So everyone waited a few more days until the Yin Ling Sect, which was the furthest away, also brought its disciples to gather. Only then did the Elder of all the sects escort the disciples into the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode.

Within the Earth Immortal Ancient City, the Elder and sect Sect Master of various sects displayed their abilities, some riding Magic Treasure and Flying Sword, others directly riding auspicious clouds and dark clouds, leading their sect's disciples to fly several miles into the sky, reaching a height close to that of the Inverted Hanging Mountain.

Further ahead, those with strength above the Nascent Soul Stage would be attacked by Tribulation Lightning summoned by the Cave Abode. The Elder stopped here. The five sects of the Righteous Path Alliance and the three sects of the Demonic Sect Alliance each formed a separate area. The Righteous Path Alliance side was bathed in rosy light, while the Demonic Sect Alliance side was shrouded in dark clouds.

The sect elders began to give their disciples a final instruction on precautions. Bai Qiuran noticed that Jueyunzi, with a bruised and swollen face, stuffed some Spirit Talisman into the hands of Qing Danying, who was standing in front of him with her head held high, and Liu Chengyin, the Chief Personal Disciple had been with the sect for the longest time among the Nascent Soul Stage Qingming Sect Disciple. It was probably a life-saving measure for them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Qiuran also called Tang Ruowei over and secretly slipped her three jade slips.

"This is something that the Profound Law Academy recently developed Earth Immortal Teleportation Formation. Inside is a small space, which seals three of my Sword Qi."

Bai Qiuran said, "If you encounter a danger that you really can't handle, just throw these three jade slips out... Remember, the attack range is ten meters from the landing radius of the jade slips. My Sword Qi doesn't discriminate, so don't get caught in it."

Just after giving Tang Ruowei a few instructions to return to her unit, Su Xiangxue arrived with You Meiqiao. The stunningly beautiful woman, wearing a veil, looked Bai Qiuran and down twice, then pulled You Meiqiao aside Bai Qiuran, "This is my apprentice."

Bai Qiuran nodded.

"I know."

"Um."

Su Xiangxue then turned to You Meiqiao and said, "If you encounter him after you go inside, follow his instructions..."

What are you saying?

Bai Qiuran said seriously, "I'm not going in... Why would I compete with a junior for an opportunity?"

Su Xiangxue her eyes at him, then said to You Meiqiao, "Just in case you've encountered an illusion created within the Cave Abode, I'll teach you a few ways to identify his true form..."

People inevitably become talkative as they live longer. The elders of the sect gave their disciples a long lecture before finally watching them ride their respective Magic Treasure and fly towards the upside-down mountain.

Along the way, the Cave Abode's Tribulation Induction Formation remained unresponsive, and the disciples approached the mountaintop safely. Just a few meters from the summit, ripples suddenly appeared in the space, like the surface of water.

The disciples vanished from the ripples, as if entering another world, disappearing without a trace. No one could be seen on the inverted mountain peak either.

Seeing that their disciples had entered the Cave Abode safely, the elders of the sect present all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, let's set up the Barrier."

After turning his gaze away, Jueyunzi bruised and swollen, made a sullen suggestion.

"Can."

Ji Lingyun appeared unharmed, but she was gasping for breath when she moved.

"This is the first time in my life I've ever agreed to your suggestion, you bastard. I just want to go back to bed right now..."

The other sect elders nodded in agreement, but Bai Qiuran then said, "Wait, I want to go in too."

"Um?"

Su Xiangxue laughed and said, "Who was it that just now said they wouldn't compete with the juniors of the sect for opportunities?"

"The wind is too strong, I can't hear you--"

Bai Qiuran drawled out a sentence, pretending to pick his ear as he replied, then said seriously, "Please give me some face, everyone. Whether I can Foundation Establishment in this lifetime might depend on this one."

"Um."

Elder Xu from the Profound Law Academy approached Bai Qiuran a spike similar to the Black Prism the Earth Immortal had held earlier.

"Then please accept this item, Sword Ancestor. This item is the latest research result copied by the Profound Law Academy from the data of the Earth Immortal Ancient City. While retaining the original characteristics, it can prevent the intrusion of Souls. This thing is quite difficult to make; currently, besides the mold, we only have this one."

Bai Qiuran accepted it and said, "Please thank Qiu Yuxuan for his kindness, although I believe that Earth Immortal shouldn't be able to invade my Souls... after all, I don't even have Nascent Soul."

The others exchanged bewildered glances, then the Painting Sage of the Immortal City Jade Tower spoke up, "Of course we must give face to the Sword Ancestor... but Sword Ancestor, although your realm is low, your strength is extraordinary. Are you sure you won't attract Tribulation Lightning if you go in?"

Who cares?

Bai Qiuran waved his hand and said, "It's not like I haven't faced Tribulation Lightning before. If I can Foundation Establishment, let alone withstand Tribulation Lightning, even if there are groups of Great Luo Golden Immortal in front of me, I will withstand it!"

"Wonderful!"

Jueyunzi clapped his hands loudly and said, "Then please, Martial Ancestor Uncle, set off on your journey!"

If you can't say nice things, then don't say them!

Bai Qiuran kicked him flying a long way, then looked around before jumping to Su Xiangxue's side.

"Could you lend me a place to stay?"

"Ha..."

Su Xiangxue sighed helplessly, summoned the Jade Zither, and gently plucked a string with her delicate hand, plucking it softly.

Buzz--

The melodious sound of the piano drifted out, and the water vapor in the surrounding clouds suddenly gathered and condensed into a thick, upside-down Ice Island about five meters in diameter, which floated in the Cloud Top.

Bai Qiuran lightly leaped from the clouds above the surrounding cultivators onto the Ice Island, then with a slight push of her feet, her body suddenly rose higher.

Boom!

He shattered the Ice Island into tiny ice crystals, while his own body soared high into the air, flying towards the inverted mountaintop in the sky. The others looked up at him, watching as he, like his disciples before him, created ripples in space a few meters from the mountaintop, entering another world.

"No Tribulation Lightning..."

After a moment, Dust Zen Master touched his buzz cut and Book of Questions, and couldn't help but say, "It seems that this Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode really believes that the Sword Ancestor only has the cultivation of the Qi Refining Stage. I wonder if he is happy or sad about it."

"That's so nice, so nice."

Ji Lingyun and Huangfu Feng of the Heavenly Demon Sect also looked up at the sky. Only after Bai Qiuran's figure disappeared did Huangfu Feng mutter to himself, "If only our Demonic Sect Alliance had a fighter like this who could hold back his true strength despite his low cultivation level, wouldn't you agree? Miss Su, Old Skeleton."
