At the foot of the Ninth Peak, the five Golden Immortal wore expressions of bitterness and shock.
The five Golden Immortal exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock, followed by bitterness and pallor. Although Su Xiuyi's sword strike had contained much of its killing intent, it had still severely injured them all. It would take at least ten days to half a month for them to recover.
The five Golden Immortal struggled to their feet and bowed to Su Xiuyi. "We have lost today, but we have no complaints. We accept our defeat. Let our immortal swords remain here, so that we may be taught that we should not underestimate anyone in the world, nor be arrogant or look down on any genius."
Although the five Golden Immortal looked reluctant, they still kept their promise for that very moment.
Although leaving the immortal sword here greatly weakened their strength, the five Golden Immortal felt that their Dao heart was unbreakable, and that a sword cultivator's word was as good as gold.
Su Xiuyi remained remarkably calm. Seeing the five people's gazes, Su Xiuyi smiled and said, "I see that the cultivation levels of the five of you are not too weak. I can give you a choice: join the Ninth Peak."
"If any of you are willing, you may stay here to cultivate. Of course, you will need to sign a contract and never betray me."
"In other words, the five of you must entrust your Destiny to me. If I want you to die, you five must die. Of course, if I die, the five of you will also be buried with me."
Su Xiuyi's gaze fell on the five Golden Immortal as she expressed her thoughts.
The five Golden Immortal cultivated five different Great Daos, and they seemed to have no chance against Su Xiuyi. However, Su Xiuyi was very clear that she had not been hiding her strength just now, and had almost unleashed her full power.
Whether it's the earth- Earth Overturning and Heaven Upending supernatural power or the spatial supernatural Space Breaking the void, these are Su Xiuyi's strongest supernatural powers. The fact that these five people were only severely injured by his two supernatural powers clearly shows that their talent and strength are astonishingly powerful.
Once they sign a 'contract' with her, Su Xiuyi can allow the five to merge with her world. Once they merge with her world, Su Xiuyi will not only gain all the insights of the five Golden Immortal, but at the same time, the lives and deaths of the five will be bound to Su Xiuyi from then on.
Once Su Xiuyi perishes, her Inner World will collapse, and the five Great Daos will also collapse, meaning all five of them will surely die.
So in that instant, Su Xiuyi directly presented the choice, letting the five people decide.
The five Golden Immortal Golden Immortal exchanged glances but did not answer immediately. Su Xiuyi's terrifying talent had shown them what a prodigy was, but as incomparably powerful sword cultivators, they were somewhat reluctant to entrust their lives to her.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I'd rather leave the Immortal Sword here. Farewell."
The five Golden Immortal exchanged words for a while, and one of them ultimately chose to leave on his own.
The other four Golden Immortal knelt down in front of Su Xiuyi with a thud. They knew very well that Su Xiuyi was extremely young, yet her Dao of the Sword was divine. They knew that by following Su Xiuyi, their growth would be much faster.
Moreover, compared to the one who left, the four of them were slightly less talented. It would be difficult for them to reach the pinnacle of the Sword Gate on their own, since they had no powerful mentors from the Sword Gate to guide them.
Their Lineage was also quite weak, and their only chance to advance further and follow Su Xiuyi was to do so.
"We are willing to follow our senior brother, no matter what dangers we face."
"The four of us are willing to sign a contract: if the four of us Undying, our senior brother will absolutely not suffer any harm."
Seeing the four Golden Immortal kneeling before her, Su Xiuyi smiled and said.
Are you sure?
"I'm giving you time to reconsider. Once you've made a decision, if you try to back out, you'll pay with your lives."
Su Xiuyi did not answer immediately, but asked again.
Su Xiuyi knew very well that if the four people were unwilling to merge with her Inner World, she would absolutely not let them leave.
The Inner World was Su Xiuyi's biggest trump card, and absolutely no accidents could be allowed to happen.
"Senior Brother, the four of us have made our decision and will never repent."
The four Golden Immortal looked at Su Xiuyi with unwavering expressions.
Su Xiuyi looked directly into the eyes of the four people and saw that they indeed had a determined look on their faces. Then, a smile appeared on her lips.
He personally reached out and helped the four Golden Immortal up, saying with a smile.
"Since that's the case, then I accept you. From now on, we'll share happiness and hardship, and you'll be with me through thick and thin. I will never let you down, and you'll get everything you want."
"Come, follow me to the Ninth Peak."
As Su Xiuyi's voice fell, she waved her hand, and the four immortal swords instantly landed in their hands, heading towards the main hall of the Ninth Peak.
Among the God Mountain, at this moment, the incredibly powerful disciples all turned their gazes to the Ninth Peak, their brows furrowing involuntarily.
Everyone sensed the danger. Su Xiuyi had only been in the Sword Gate for about a month, yet Su Xiuyi strength and influence had grown terrifyingly within that time.
The Ninth Peak, which originally only had four people, suddenly gained four incredibly powerful Golden Immortal cultivators in the blink of an eye.
This change was completely unexpected by everyone; even when they were growing up, they couldn't have achieved such a terrifying speed.
Ye Qingcang's expression also turned extremely grim. He said coldly, " Bai Zhan, go and inform the elders to prepare and open the Heavenly Demon Battlefield ahead of schedule, and begin the Sword Gate's trial."
" Su Yi's growth rate is terrifying. We absolutely cannot give him time. We can only have peace of mind if we eliminate such a monster as soon as possible."
"If his cultivation continues to grow, there's a high chance that something unexpected might happen if he enters the Heavenly Demon Battlefield."
"Furthermore, you should contact the other true disciples and see if they are willing to join forces. Although we used to be competitors, it was a matter of life and death, now, Su Yi is our true enemy. If we cannot suppress or eliminate Su Yi, no matter how much effort we put in, we will have absolutely no chance of ascending to the throne of sect leader."
"And tell them that the third-generation sect leader thinks highly of Su Yi."
As Ye Qingcang finished speaking, he entered the cave, ignoring Bai Zhan.
Bai Zhan's eyelids twitched wildly today. He never expected that five incredibly powerful Golden Immortal would be defeated by Su Xiuyi's sword in the blink of an eye, and that four of them would become Su Xiuyi's followers, giving Su Xiuyi's power an extremely terrifying boost.
At the Ninth Peak, four Golden Immortal accompanied Su Xiuyi into the main hall.
Ye Chen, Yang Yi, and the other three, who were originally in seclusion, also emerged from their seclusion ahead of schedule.
Su Xiuyi's Sword Qi below the Ninth Peak had already awakened them from their cultivation.
Upon seeing the four Golden Immortal Realm realm cultivators behind Su Xiuyi, Ye Chen and his companions felt immense pressure.
At that moment, Su Xiuyi naturally saw the anxiety in the eyes of the four people, and then smiled and said, "You four don't need to worry. Since you are willing to follow me, I will definitely not let you down. But today I want to give you four a choice. No matter what you choose, I will not treat you unfairly."
Having followed Su Xiuyi for a long time and knowing of Su Xiuyi extraordinary talent, Ye Chen and his companions asked, "We will never disobey any orders from the Peak Master, even if it costs us our lives."
The four were extremely decisive. In their view, if they wanted to walk the path of the strong, they had to follow Su Xiuyi.
Even though Ye Chen appears extremely strong, compared to the true geniuses, the power of his Lineage cannot help him reach a higher level.
"I will control your lives and deaths. Of course, if the four of you are willing to let me control your lives and deaths, you will receive unimaginable opportunities."
"Whether you are willing to entrust your lives to my control is your own decision, including the four Golden Immortal. I am now giving you a chance to consider. Although you will receive a heaven-defying opportunity by entrusting your lives to me, your cultivation will drop to the Void Immortal Realm realm."
The four Golden Immortal were stunned for a moment upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words. This was something none of them had ever considered, but they were very tempted by Su Xiuyi's mention of Heavenly Secrets!
"Will our cultivation level dropping to the Void Immortal realm cause severe damage to our foundation?"
The four exchanged glances and voiced their doubts.
Hearing the four people's doubts, Su Xiuyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, your foundation in the Great Dao will not suffer any serious damage. In fact, it will make your foundation even more solid. I'm going to forcibly suppress your cultivation to the Void Immortal realm!"
"Of course, I will soon reach the Golden Immortal realm, and your cultivation will subsequently reach the Peak True Immortal."
"You eight should think this through carefully. I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you refuse me, I will absolutely not blame the four of you. I will still protect you and give you the resources you deserve."
"But you will have no chance to obtain that extraordinary opportunity."
"The decision and choice are entirely up to you; after all, this is your life."
In that instant, after Su Xiuyi's voice fell, she stopped speaking, waved her hand, and a tea set appeared in front of her. Su Xiuyi elegantly brewed tea, no longer paying attention to the eight people.
In that instant, all eight people frowned. No one had expected their cultivation to be suppressed so much, especially the four Golden Immortal.
But soon, the eight people made a decision.
"We are willing to follow the Peak Master's arrangements."
Su Xiuyi was not surprised by the decision of the eight people.
Su Xiuyi downed the spiritual tea in her cup in one gulp and said with a smile, "The eight of you will embark on the path to heaven because of your decision."
"Of course, I need to Undying."
"You eight, come with me."
The next moment, Su Xiuyi led the eight people into the depths of the cave, activated the formation, and blocked any prying eyes.
After finishing everything, Su Xiuyi waved her hand, and Dao Sect phantom appeared in front of Su Xiuyi. This huge portal seemed to lead to another world.
The eight people's eyes showed shock. They felt that Su Xiuyi seemed to have control over a Lesser Thousand World. Su Xiuyi stepped into it without explanation. The eight people looked at each other and hurriedly entered.
The next moment, the eight people followed Su Xiuyi into a magnificent hall.
The moment the eight people appeared with Su Xiuyi, several figures appeared in the main hall, and these people immediately knelt down on one knee.
"We pay homage to Heavenly Lord and welcome Heavenly Lord return."
At the same time, Daoist Tianxuan and Han Shuang, among others, saw the eight terrifying figures beside Su Xiuyi and their eyelids twitched.
Everyone wore a bitter expression; they knew very well that the competition was growing.
However, no one said anything. They all knew that the more powerful people followed Su Xiuyi, the stronger the myriad paths of heaven and earth would become, and their strength would also become more powerful.
The eight Golden Immortal following behind Su Xiuyi trembled violently at that moment. Although these people in the hall were not powerful, they had a feeling that these people were very different from them. In this Lesser Thousand World, the eight of them felt that these people were extremely powerful.
"Rise, there's no need for such formalities."
"Let me introduce you. These eight are my followers, and from now on, they are also like-minded people. Welcome to them as fellow Daoists. On the road to supreme enlightenment, we have gained a few more true fellow Daoists."
At that moment, when the eight people heard Su Xiuyi say "fellow Daoist," they noticed that the gazes of those people were somewhat different, and they felt a little puzzled.
"Welcome, fellow Daoists. From this day forward, let us work together to perfect the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
"We cultivate the myriad paths together; that's what true fellow Daoists are."
Han Shuang and Daoist Tianxuan spoke with smiles on their faces.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen and the other eight looked puzzled, not yet fully understanding.
Su Xiuyi smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, this Lesser Thousand World is a realm I created. I am the master of this realm, the creator of Heaven Splitting. What you need to do now is choose the Great Dao that suits you in this realm to cultivate. Of course, because of me, your cultivation will be suppressed."
The moment Su Xiuyi's voice fell, the eight people trembled violently. They had never imagined that Su Xiuyi had created this world.
Creating one's own world is an extremely difficult task, and no one expected that Su Xiuyi would achieve this at such a level.
These people had reached such a level of cultivation and had also learned about some legends. Those who could Heaven Splitting were all rulers of the world.
The eight people, who had been somewhat apprehensive, suddenly brightened up, their bodies trembling with excitement.
Because those who follow Su Xiuyi first will reap the greatest benefits.
The reason why it is so difficult to become the supreme ruler in this world is that the Great Dao of this world has already been divided up, making it extremely difficult to become the ruler.
However, within Su Xiuyi's Inner World, there are far too many choices; this is the true great opportunity.
"We are willing to follow Heavenly Lord to the death and fight for Heavenly Lord in the heavens."
The eight people, their faces filled with fanaticism, instantly knelt before Su Xiuyi, their fervor stemming from the depths of their hearts.
"Go and choose the path that suits you. The Sunmoon, and stars in the void are my Great Dao Universe."
"I haven't concealed the vast universe, which makes it easier for you to comprehend it. First, merge with the Great Dao Universe. Afterwards, you will cultivate in seclusion here. If you go out, conceal your cultivation level so that no one can detect anything unusual."
After Su Xiuyi finished speaking, she left the Inner World without lingering.
