This was the second time Ling Yi had encountered cultivators in this world.
The first time, naturally, was with Ran Xiyue.
There were five people in total, all of whom were Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. The highest level of cultivation among them was only around the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, these people acted as if facing a formidable enemy, displaying extreme vigilance, which puzzled Ling Yi.
Could it be that my hidden strength has been discovered? That shouldn't be the case.
Let alone these Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, even if Spirit Severing Realm cultivator came, they wouldn't be able to tell!
Before Ling Yi could say anything, the five of them simultaneously unleashed their Spiritual Power, pressing down on Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was immediately displeased.
What, you think you're the only ones who can overwhelm others with Spiritual Power?!
Then you can receive it now!
"Disciple, let these five little trash see what it means to be a frog in a well."
Shi Rui and Shi Yun were already furious. How dare these five old men bully their the Final Master? They were wicked people.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, the two girls unleashed their full Golden Core Stage Spiritual Pressure almost without reservation.
The five junior members of the Hundred Leaps Sect let out a muffled groan and immediately knelt down.
"Pfft, senior, spare us! We were blind to your Mount Tai. Please spare us for the sake of the Hundred Leaps Sect."
"Senior, pfft... spare me, have mercy!"
"I waited in the wrong place, pfft!"
"Pfft, pfft!"
The five people were so overwhelmed by the Spiritual Pressure from Shi Rui and Shi Yun that their Spiritual Power was running wild, their meridians were on the verge of collapse, and their internal organs were instantly injured.
One by one, they coughed up blood and were clearly on their last legs.
This is the enormous difference that comes from different levels of understanding.
According to the data, the Foundation Establishment Stage requires a maximum of nine thousand Spiritual Power, while the Golden Core First Level requires ten thousand Spiritual Power, and the Golden Core Ninth Level requires ninety thousand Spiritual Power.
In online novels, we often see Protagonist challenging opponents far stronger than themselves, but in reality, this is almost impossible.
"Alright, that's enough!" Ling Yi snapped his the Snap.
Shi Rui and Shi Yun instantly withdrew their Spiritual Pressure and obediently said to Ling Yi, " The Final Master!"
Ling Yi patted the two little girls' heads and laughed, "Not bad, but not good enough. Next time you encounter such an arrogant fool, just kill him."
"Yes, the Final Master, we understand!" Shi Rui and Shi Yun carefully wrote it down.
The five elders of the Hundred Leaps Sect were dumbfounded.
What the heck? These two young girls at the Golden Core Stage are actually this handsome young man's disciples?
Just how high is this young man's cultivation level?
Such strength is impossible for the other Five Domains to possess, therefore, these three are from the Saint Region?
Thinking of this, the five of them disregarded their injuries and immediately knelt down.
" Hundred Leaps Sect Wu Yuanzi Sect greets Senior!"
" Hundred Leaps Sect is high..."
"Alright, Laozi don't want to know who you are or why you attacked us. Besides, why aren't you from the Hundred Leaps Sect staying in your sect? What are you doing here?"
The five people exchanged glances, and finally, the one with the highest cultivation level, Wu Yuanzi, stepped forward.
"We dare not conceal the truth from you, senior. The reason we are here is because there is a suspected ancient immortal realm appearing in the Central-Northern Empire."
"We came here to confirm this matter. We thought you were from another sect in the Cangnan Region, which is why we had this misunderstanding."
"An ancient immortal's cave?" Ling Yi became interested.
He wasn't coveting the so-called ancient immortal's cave, but was simply interested in the so-called cave itself.
Or rather, since Bored anyway, I might as well go see something interesting to Passing Time.
He has a system, but no cultivation techniques. What's in the ancient immortal's cave? Could there possibly be cultivation techniques surpassing even God Grade techniques?
Ling Yi didn't believe it.
"Interesting! Where is it? Take me to see it!"
"Senior, this matter cannot be confirmed at the moment; we just arrived ourselves."
"Tell me in more detail!" Ling Yi frowned. This old man was clearly trying to hide something, which made Ling Yi a little impatient.
Seeing Ling Yi frown, Wu Yuanzi shuddered, his face contorted in pain, no longer daring to conceal anything.
In the eyes of cultivators, the strong kill the weak, sometimes without even a reason.
"Senior, about three days ago, a massive surge of Spiritual Power appeared in the direction of the Central-Northern Empire. This Spiritual Power was extremely terrifying and powerful!"
"But it disappeared in just a brief moment."
Ling Yi's expression was somewhat strange as he asked, "How can you be so sure this is an ancient immortal's cave? What if it's some cultivator experimenting with some kind of technique?"
Wu Yuanzi explained, "Senior, that surge of Spiritual Power was far too immense. Even for a brief moment, it was terrifying and made one's heart pound, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking."
"It is absolutely impossible for a cultivator to unleash such terrifying Spiritual Power."
Ling Yi chuckled, his eyes flashing, and said, "Interesting. Then go and pinpoint the location of the ancient cave. Let me know once you've confirmed it."
After saying that, he turned to the still dazed Second Prince Xiang Zicheng, "Arrange a place for us to stay. These next few days, behave well. If you behave well, I will give you a great opportunity."
Ling Yi casually offered the Second Prince a pie in the sky.
"Yes, Immortal Master, please follow me!" The Second Prince instantly snapped out of his daze, his face filled with excitement.
Although he wasn't a cultivator, he could tell that this immortal was far more powerful than the people of the Hundred Leaps Sect.
His two female disciples, who look younger than him, are strong enough to overwhelm the five elders of the Hundred Leaps Sect. Just how powerful must this immortal the Final Master?
After Ling Yi and the others left, Wu Yuanzi and the other four exchanged glances and fell silent for a moment.
After a while, the five of them almost simultaneously took out a Healing Pill from their storage magic treasure.
Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to sort out the chaotic Spiritual Power within his body.
About ten minutes later, all five of them opened their eyes at the same time.
" The Saint Region truly Saint Region. These two disciples of this senior are probably enough to crush the entire Cangnan Region. We are truly like frogs in a well, with no view of the sky." Wu Yuanzi sighed deeply.
"Then, what about this ancient immortal's cave? With such terrifying Spiritual Power, this cave must be extraordinary, and the gains within are probably unimaginable," another person said, frowning.
"Why would someone from the Saint Region come to the Cangnan Region? Are they just bored and have nothing better to do?"
"Junior Brother Song, shut up! How can you be so disrespectful to your senior?" Wu Yuanzi scolded, pointing outside with a grim expression.
They're practically fighting over this guy, he's at least Nascent Soul Stage expert. What if he overhears you and angers him?
That junior brother Song was just being impulsive; after saying it, he felt a wave of fear.
"We can't make this decision ourselves, let's inform the sect leader first!"
The group nodded; that was the only way.
But they knew very well that even if the sect leader found out, so what? Would he dare to scheme against a Saint Region expert?
Regardless of the entanglements of the Hundred Leaps Sect members, Ling Yi was currently strolling around the palace with Xiang Zicheng.
Xiang Zicheng discovered that this senior seemed quite interested in the architecture of the imperial palace.
So he volunteered to be a tour guide.
Ling Yi and Shi Rui, the sisters, have certainly broadened their horizons.
"Immortal Master, this is the Council Hall, where Father Emperor and important court officials discuss important matters!" Xiang Zicheng said, pointing to the palace before him.
Just then, a Taunt voice rang out from behind.
" Second Brother, you really have a lot of nerve, leading people of unknown origin around the palace like this?"
Xiang Zicheng Zicheng's face immediately turned cold, and he shouted, "Fifth brother, shut up! These three are the most distinguished guests of our Central-Northern Empire. Not to mention me, even Father Emperor would treat them with the utmost respect."
Just then, the doors of the council hall opened, and two elderly men walked out of the hall.
One of them, wearing Golden Dragon robe, was Xiang Wuqi, the emperor of the Central-Northern Empire.
This Xiang Wuqi, whose hair was half-white, was physically strong and Qi and Blood, clearly possessing martial arts skills.
The old man beside Xiang Wuqi, however, was dressed in a gray-white cloth robe, with the cuffs and trouser legs rolled up.
The old man's physique was even more exaggerated, with bulging muscles all over his body and a height of over 1.9 meters, making him look like a monster.
"Zicheng, Zifeng, why are you making such a racket here!" Xiang Wuqi first glanced at Ling Yi and the other two, then his gaze swept coldly over Xiang Zicheng and the Fifth Prince Xiang Zifeng.
"Father, my Second Brother is leading unidentified people around the palace. I tried to stop him, but Second Brother scolded me instead," Xiang Zifeng said first.
"Zicheng, do you know your crime!" Xiang Wuqi stared at Xiang Zifeng and said coldly.
"Father, these three immortals are new to our Central-Northern Empire, and your son dares not be negligent."
"Is the Hundred Leaps Sect really getting more and more audacious?" Xiang Wuqi sneered.
Upon hearing this, both Xiang Zicheng and Xiang Zifeng were somewhat dumbfounded.
Holy crap, when did our father become so brave? He actually dares to challenge the people of the Hundred Leaps Sect!
Although Xiang Zicheng knew that Ling Yi and the others were not from the Hundred Leaps Sect, his father was most likely mistaken.
Xiang Zicheng also knew that his father, the emperor, was ambitious and had long been dissatisfied with the Hundred Leaps Sect.
But if you say it directly, wouldn't that be tantamount to breaking ties with the Hundred Leaps Sect?
"Father, these three immortals..." Xiang Zicheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiang Wuqi.
"All land under heaven belongs to the emperor. Since the Hundred Leaps Sect is in my Central-Northern Empire, it must abide by the rules of the Central-Northern Empire and my rules."
After saying this, he looked at the muscular old man beside him, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Grand Preceptor Lin, please help me Intimidation these villains!"
The "National Preceptor Lin" walked up to Ling Yi with a somewhat strange expression.
Then, to the astonishment of Xiang Wuqi, Xiang Zicheng, Xiang Zifeng, he bowed to Ling Yi and said, "Greetings, the Final Master. The Final Master, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing "National Preceptor Lin" address Ling Yi his the Final Master, Xiang Wuqi, nearly fainting from fright.
"I was just Bored. You've really got some nerve, becoming the Imperial Preceptor Lin?"
This National Preceptor Lin is none other than Lin Huai, one of Ling Yi's local deities.
"Ahem, the Final Master, we need materials to establish our sect, so you understand!"
"Hmm, not bad!" Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Of all these disciples, Ling Yi was actually most satisfied with Lin Huai.
Lin Huai is now roughly equivalent to the chief steward of the Heaven-Exploding Sect.
"Let's go, Second Prince, take me to see other places."
"Ah, yes, Immortal Master!" Xiang Zicheng glanced at his father, the two exchanged a quick look, and then respectfully led Ling Yi away.
Xiang Wuqi Wuqi's face turned pale, and he was trembling with nervousness.
This is insane! His supposed trump card, the Imperial Preceptor Lin, turns out to be this young man's disciple! And he's actually letting someone else's disciple teach his the Final Master a lesson?!
He felt like he was about to die of fright just now.
This attempt to borrow the tiger's power was truly poorly executed; it almost got him into serious trouble.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. My the Final Master is a very easygoing person. Since he hasn't said much, it means he doesn't care about this matter."
Lin Huai comforted Xiang Wuqi.
"Is... Imperial Preceptor Lin really alright?"
"Nature!"
Xiang Wuqi asked, "National Preceptor Lin, I wonder what level your master has reached?"
"What level? Let me put it this way, if the Final Master were willing, he could unify the six regions in an instant."
Xiang Wuqi was first greatly surprised, then overjoyed.
Lin Huai was referring to the Six Domains, which means that the Saint Region is included.
"Emperor Xiang, as long as you work diligently for my Heaven-Exploding Sect, the Central-Northern Empire might just produce a Immortal Emperor. The Final Master is very generous!"
