Visiting the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect

"Later, the sages proposed that all paths should contend and that all beings could cultivate the Dao. The two sides disagreed and a great war broke out. The Primordial Beginning Dao Sect was defeated and moved into a rift in another dimension, sealing itself off, saying that it would come out again when the Dao Realm returned to chaos."

At this point, Northern Dark True Spirit sneered, "Now it seems that what they call chaos is actually the time when the Dao Realm is being upgraded and its structure is being reshaped. They want to take advantage of this transition to reap the rewards and regain control of the Dao Realm."

Silence fell over the main hall.

Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

A sect with unfathomable depths, which has emerged at this High Antiquity moment, is bound to have a huge impact on the existing balance of power among the Five Provinces.

"How do their strength compare to ours?" Mo Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"It's hard to say." Northern Dark True Spirit shook his head. " In High Antiquity times, they already had powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage."

Having been sealed away for so many years, no one knows how many trump cards they have hidden, or whether any old monsters have survived.

But one thing is certain: their overall strength is definitely above that of the current Luozhen Sect.

The elders' expressions changed slightly.

Even the Ancestral Vein True Spirit say so, then the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect is indeed a very troublesome one.

Li Yunjing remained calm and said indifferently, "We'll meet force with force and water with earth. Their emergence is their business. We'll proceed step by step and continue our plan to Jianzhou. As long as we are strong enough, we have nothing to fear from any changes."

Just as the words were spoken, a report came from the guard outside the hall:

"Reporting to the Sect Leader! An envoy from the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect has arrived, requesting an audience with the Sect Leader!"

Everyone in the hall was taken aback.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Li Yunjing's lips, "Oh? They've arrived quickly. Invite them in."

Before long, the two cultivators, led by the disciples on duty, entered the Sect Grand Hall.

The leader was an old man in a gray robe, with white hair and beard, a gaunt face, but sharp eyes like an eagle. His aura was restrained, yet he exuded an air of superior arrogance.

Behind him followed a young disciple dressed in a purple-gold Daoist robe, with an arrogant expression. When his gaze swept over the people in the hall, it carried undisguised scrutiny and disdain.

The two walked leisurely into the main hall, as if they were not visitors, but superiors inspecting their subordinates.

Mo Xuan frowned slightly upon seeing this behavior, feeling displeased.

The gray-robed elder walked to the center of the hall, his gaze falling on Li Yunjing, who sat in the main seat. He slightly bowed and said in a calm tone, "Primordial Beginning Dao Sect greets Sect Wei Xiao Sect Leader Li."

He simply cupped his hands in greeting, without actually bowing.

The young disciples behind him merely nodded slightly, not even bothering to offer a cupped-hand salute.

This attitude can be described as extremely arrogant.

The faces of all the elders in the hall darkened.

The Luozhen Sect is now a regional hegemon, a top force in the Five Provinces, and the most meritorious contributor to the Dao Realm's ascension.

Even when the leader of the Immortal Alliance personally came, he treated Li Yunjing with utmost courtesy.

How dare a newly emerged envoy from a reclusive sect be so arrogant?

Li Yunjing remained unmoved, seated on his throne, and spoke calmly, "Elder Wei Xiao has come from afar; I apologize for not greeting you properly. May I ask what brings your esteemed sect here today, sending an envoy?"

His tone was calm, yet carried the authority of someone in a superior position.

If you don't respect me, I don't need to be overly polite to you.

Wei Xiao seemed oblivious to the coldness in Li Yunjing's tone. He surveyed the Sect Grand Hall, a flicker of surprise in his eyes before his arrogance returned.

"Sect Leader Li's Sect Grand Hall does have some merit, with Golden Dragon of Fortune it, which is rare in the lower realm." He spoke lightly, as if commenting on an ordinary object, "However, compared to the Primordial Beginning Divine Hall of my Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, it still falls short."

These words caused the expressions of everyone in the hall to darken further.

To visit someone's home and immediately belittle their sect's Sect Grand Hall is not just arrogance, it's rudeness.

Mo Xuan was about to speak when Li Yunjing waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.

"Your sect has a profound foundation, which is far beyond the reach of small sects like ours in the lower realms," Li Yunjing said calmly. "Elder, please speak frankly if you have something to say. If you're here to flaunt your wealth, then there's no need for that."

Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Wei Xiao's eyes.

He had assumed that Li Yunjing, being young and impetuous, would be furious upon hearing these words, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so composed.

He snorted coldly and cut to the chase, no longer beating around the bush. "Sect Leader Li is a man of few words, so I will be frank. I have come here on the orders of my sect leader to give Luozhen Sect an fortuitous opportunity."

"Fortuitous opportunity?" Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed." Wei Xiao raised his head and said, "Our Primordial Beginning Dao Sect was the orthodox lineage of the Dao Realm in High Antiquity times. Now that we have emerged, we are here to restore order to the Dao Realm, expand our territory, and establish a completely new Dao Realm structure."

He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Li Yunjing: "Our sect leader has decreed the establishment of a sixth state beyond the Five Provinces, to reshape the world. This is a momentous undertaking, requiring the full support of all forces. Sect Leader Li has made significant contributions during the Dao Realm's ascension and enjoys some renown in the Five Provinces. The sect leader, valuing talent, is giving your Luozhen Sect a chance."

"If you are willing to the Luozhen Sect to join my Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, obey its commands, and jointly contribute to the grand undertaking of establishing the sixth Jianzhou, once the sixth state is completed, your Luozhen Sect will be designated as a branch sect of the sixth state, guarding the state for generations, enjoying endless wealth and honor, with all kinds of cultivation techniques, Cultivation Method Law Treasure, and rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures available."

"Such fortuitous opportunity is not something everyone can have. Sect Leader Li, you should be aware of the situation."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

The elders were first taken aback, then filled with boundless rage.

Seeking refuge?

Should they get the Luozhen Sect to submit to their Primordial Beginning Dao Sect?

That's an absolute joke!

The Luozhen Sect is now thriving, and its leader is a meritorious figure in the Dao Realm, a powerful expert in the Middle Void Refinement Stage, with the assistance of the Ancestral Vein True Spirit. Its future is limitless.

You, some Primordial Beginning Dao Sect that just sprang from a rock, come to our door and expect everyone to surrender, acting like you're doing us a favor?

Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!

"Presumptuous!"

The hot-tempered Ding Qifeng was the first to lose his temper, shouting angrily, "What are you Primordial Beginning Dao Sect? Do you think you're worthy of my Luozhen Sect Sect's allegiance? Do you really think you're so great just because you're High Antiquity sect? I think you've been sealed away for too long and are all confused!"

"How dare you!"

The young disciple behind Wei Xiao shouted angrily, pointing at Ding Qifeng and saying, "How dare a mere cultivator from the lower realm disrespect my Primordial Beginning Dao Sect? I think you're tired of living!"

"Say that again?!" Gu Lin suddenly stood up, his aura surging. "Kid, try saying that again!"

The overwhelming pressure of Nascent Soul Peak cultivator pressed down on the young disciple.

The young disciple's face paled. He was only at the Golden Core Late Stage stage; how could he withstand the pressure of Nascent Soul Peak? Yet he stubbornly insisted, "What? You want to fight? My Primordial Beginning Dao Sect..."

That's enough.

Wei Xiao raised his hand to interrupt the young disciple, his cold gaze sweeping over Gu Lin and Ding Qifeng. He slowly released the pressure of Void Refinement Late Stage cultivator, pressing down on everyone.

"Sect Leader Li, is this how the Luozhen Sect treats its guests?" he said coldly. "A bunch of Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation frogs at the bottom of a well, daring to shout in front of this old man?"

The pressure from Void Refinement Late Stage was extremely terrifying; the air inside the hall seemed to freeze.

Apart from Li Yunjing and Northern Dark True Spirit, the other elders all felt a tightness in their chests and difficulty breathing.
