I Am a Man at the Pinnacle of the Great Dao

[The host can purchase an Expert Aura Trial Card]

[Kind reminder: fake is fake. Please cultivate diligently, host.]

Hearing the system's voice, Long Xiao's face immediately showed a trace of embarrassment.

"Right, right, right. Fake."

Long Xiao quickly spent 100 Summoning Credits in the shop to buy a two-hour Expert Aura Trial Card.

He now had over seven thousand Summoning Credits. When he had the time, he could make a big move.

After completing the purchase, Long Xiao immediately activated the Expert Aura.

Yet he did not feel any change in himself. But in that instant, Bibi Dong beside him turned pale with fright.

Hong Chan, Qian Daoliu, and everyone else stared wide-eyed, as though they had witnessed the most terrifying thing in their lives.

"Supreme divine might..."

Qian Daoliu fell to his knees, while the others did not even dare move. It was too terrifying.

Hong Chan's slender throat bobbed as she frantically swallowed. She even wanted to slap herself twice. Why had she refused to believe it just now?

Hadn't she offended this expert?

At that moment, in everyone's eyes, Long Xiao was like a god standing apart from the world. The aura spilling from him could overwhelm the sun, moon, and stars, intimidating all lands.

It seemed that with a single thought, he could rewrite everyone's fate and reduce them to ashes.

Looks like it worked.

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Long Xiao's lips. He had spent the money, so he had to keep acting until the end.

Clang!

Hong Chan's sword fell to the ground, and she dropped to one knee before Long Xiao. She did not believe anything about herself could be hidden before such an expert.

"One of the Big Dipper Dynasty's Four Imperial Envoys, Hong Chan."

"Greetings, Sect Master of the Divine Sect!"

The moment those words came out, Qian Daoliu and the others gaped. This woman looked intimidating, but she was actually from the Big Dipper Dynasty's imperial family!

No wonder someone so formidable had appeared in this remote backwater.

Tang San touched his thigh, feeling fortunate. Thankfully, he had not forced it back then... otherwise, he would have been dead for sure.

Mo Duo finally remembered this woman's identity. No wonder she had seemed familiar. Even this Imperial Envoy, who usually stood above everyone else, had knelt. It felt incredible.

He truly regretted not being captured by Sect Master Long earlier.

Even Long Xiao was inwardly startled. She was actually from the imperial city?

Still, he was an expert right now.

"Mm. Rise."

"Thank you, Sect Master of the Divine Sect."

Hong Chan stood up. She did not dare look too deeply into Long Xiao's eyes, because her heart had already begun pounding violently. Thump, thump, thump. It felt as though it would explode if she looked one second longer.

"This little woman dares ask: where exactly do you come from, Senior? And why have you come to my Big Dipper Dynasty...?"

As an Imperial Envoy, she naturally wanted to learn the origins of such a terrifying figure appearing within the dynasty.

But the moment she asked, a wave of fear washed over her.

She had been too rash. If someone of this caliber wanted to do anything to the Big Dipper Dynasty, it would take no more than a flick of his fingers.

Long Xiao looked at Hong Chan, then at Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and the others beside him, asking with a smile.

"Who do you think I am?"

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, unsure how to answer. They only knew that their sect master was incredibly powerful and could not act lightly. He was now walking the path of cultivation again, which was why he appeared weak.

Long Xiao looked up at the sky, calm and composed, every inch the lofty master.

"Heh. I am a god above the heavens, a man at the pinnacle of the Great Dao."

"I would not tell ordinary people this, unless they are people I trust or those fated to meet me."

Great Dao! Pinnacle! God above the heavens!

Those words shook their hearts to the core!

Trusted? Fated?

Qian Daoliu and Gu Rong were ecstatic. Wasn't the sect master talking about them?

In the future, they would surely go through fire and water for the sect master, even die ten thousand deaths without regret!

The thought alone made them a little excited.

Hong Chan also fell into thought. Did Senior mean that she was someone fated to meet him?

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were happy as well, though they hoped even more that they could become the sect master's beloved women.

"Enough. I only came to show you the Cultivation Tower. Follow me inside."

Long Xiao looked at the enormous black tower and lightly flicked his sleeve. The barrier covering it vanished.

He possessed absolute control over this black tower.

That effortless move made Qian Daoliu and the others admire him even more.

Long Xiao led the group into the black tower.

"Hiss..."

After arriving on the first floor, Gu Rong discovered that the space inside the tower was actually larger than it looked from outside.

"This involves the power of space." Knowing his confusion, Long Xiao explained with a faint smile. "The first floor alone has two thousand cultivation chambers."

Space...

The people of Spirit Continent fell into deep thought. At most, they could control teleportation. Gu Rong understood spatial control a little better, but because the gap between worlds was too great, he could no longer reach that level.

Mo Duo and Xu Jiaojiao looked even more lost.

Only Hong Chan understood a little. One could only touch upon the mysteries of spatial power after reaching the Tianyuan Realm. It was still far too distant for her.

"By the way, Sect Master, didn't you say the tower would have three times the spiritual energy? Why does it feel the same to me?" Xu Jiaojiao tilted her little head and looked around, but she could not find anywhere where the spiritual energy seemed especially dense.

"Yes. The Spirit-Gathering Array must gather the nearby spiritual energy here before it can reach three times the density."

As he spoke, Long Xiao flicked his sleeve again, and the Spirit-Gathering Array at the tower's peak instantly appeared.

A massive formation pattern emerged at the top of the tower, wildly drawing in the spiritual energy within ten miles. Streams of immense power flooded into every room.

That power continued to grow until it reached saturation.

The people of Spirit Continent had never seen such an advanced formation before, and their horizons were broadened once again.

"Done."

"However, the spiritual energy in the surrounding environment is rather scarce, so it can only be opened for two hours each day. Once we bring over an entire Spirit Vein, it will be much easier."

Bring over an entire Spirit Vein?

Hong Chan's beautiful lips could not help twitching. Spirit Veins were incomparably precious. Even the imperial family only possessed one Second-Tier Spirit Vein.

A Second-Tier Spirit Vein, aside from providing a large amount of spiritual energy, could at most create twice the usual concentration.

Yet this Spirit-Gathering Array could already create three times the concentration, proving that the formation was of no low grade.

This setup was better than that of even high-ranking sects.

"Good! Let's get ourselves dozens of them!"

Qian Daoliu and the others did not know what Spirit Veins were, but they understood that they were good things related to spiritual energy.

With the sect master around, what could they possibly fail to accomplish?

"Let's go to the second floor."

Long Xiao spoke lightly, as though all of this was merely a trivial matter to him.

His tone was calm, yet it carried boundless dominance.

Hong Chan's heart trembled. Was this the bearing of a legendary powerhouse?

Such a powerhouse was worthy of Hong Chan's reverence!

In truth, Long Xiao was also extremely excited. The instant he opened the spiritual energy valve, he had actually broken through to the Seventh Stage of Body Tempering.

Everyone followed Long Xiao to the second floor.

There were several kinds of public cultivation rooms here.

Puppet Rooms, Body Training Rooms, Combat Rooms, Soul Refinement Rooms... all sorts of them.

For example, the Puppet Room contained puppets of various levels for use as punching bags.

This broadened everyone's horizons once more.

I'll come train for two hours after work every day. I'll train to become an all-rounder, work hard in secret, and then amaze everyone. Tang San chuckled to himself.

Afterward, everyone arrived at the third floor.

There was a Spirit Pool and a Sand Bath. It seemed to be a relaxation-oriented cultivation area, and it had thoughtfully been divided into separate rooms for men and women.

"Sect Master, Xue'er likes it here." Qian Renxue quietly slipped behind Long Xiao and whispered.

Long Xiao turned around, patted Xue'er's little hand, and said fondly, "We can come together when we have time."

But the moment he turned back, he saw Bibi Dong's resentful expression.

Xu Jiaojiao envied them so much. Although her ultimate purpose in coming to the Divine Sect was to promote justice, Long Xiao was truly too captivating.

Hong Chan finally understood why those two women were fighting to become the First Virtuous Helper. If she were a disciple of the Divine Sect, she would fight for it with her life too. This was a heaven-sent opportunity!

When they reached the top floor, there were actually many walls there. Based on the system's instructions, Long Xiao also learned the purpose of the final floor.

"These are Scripture Inscription Walls. Qian Daoliu, when you have time, carve some of the sect's basic cultivation techniques and martial arts here. If you have any good soul skills, you can carve those here as well for the disciples to cultivate."

"Yes!"

Qian Daoliu answered at once.

The others also found it interesting and were happy to let others learn the skills they took pride in. After all, they would be able to learn even stronger ones in the future.

After finishing the tour, everyone returned to the cafeteria.

Hong Chan also followed along awkwardly. Without Senior's permission, she did not dare leave casually.

"Sister Hong Chan, this is for you. My father is the lord of Azure City, and he has a very good relationship with the sect master." Xu Jiaojiao brought her some food. After all, this was her father's superior.

Oh?

Hong Chan was startled. Even his daughter had been sent here.

That city lord had acted quickly. She needed to report this to His Majesty as soon as possible. If they could send several princes and princesses here to study, why would the Big Dipper Dynasty not prosper? What would they have to fear from the Demon Cloud Sect?

Long Xiao silently drank bull penis soup while enjoying Xue'er and Bibi Dong's personal massages. In truth, he had already anticipated Hong Chan's thoughts.

He wanted to use Hong Chan to establish a connection with the imperial family.

"Sect Master, is Xue'er's soup delicious?"
