Chapter 162: Chapter 161 – No More Pretense, I am at Transcendance Tribulation Stage

Translator: 549690339

A disciple from the Luban Sect regretfully quit the match, but the Sect Master of the Luban Sect, watching from the stands, was overjoyed. This conference was excellent free publicity, and he was certain that after today, a large number of disciples would choose to join the Luban Sect.

People often lumped the Luban Sect together with the Corpse-Driving Sect, considering them to be quite similar, as one manipulated puppets, and the other manipulated corpses.

The corpses of the Corpse-Driving Sect were not considered Spiritual Treasures and could not generate spiritual intelligence, while the puppets manipulated by the Luban Sect were indeed Spiritual Treasures, and could generate spiritual intelligence.

Now, he was interested in seeing who would still dare to claim that there was little difference between his sect and the Corpse-Driving Sect.

Aside from the Luban Sect disciple who had hid his skills, there was also the prince, clutching the Luminous Pearl. Though it didn’t seem to have much offensive power, once the Luminous Pearl manifested its spiritual intelligence, it could control its own brightness and darkness at will.

The Luminous Pearl blinked at an astonishingly rapid frequency, blinding its opponent directly. The prince took advantage of the temporary blindness of his opponent to strike decisively, and won a round.

This conference gave rise to a raft of legal questions. For instance, a Golden Core Stage cultivator had detonated his Spiritual Treasure, injuring his opponent, and the Minister of Law argued that the Spiritual Treasure also had the right to life, and this was deliberate murder, which should not be considered a normal competition tactic.

Ji Zhi could foresee that this issue would surely stimulate a heated debate in the court.

Another trouble had arisen.

There were no surprises in the Nascent Soul group. The four loose cultivators left the others in the dust, easily dealing with whatever tactics their opponents used and winning victory.

The finals of the conference didn’t necessitate one-on-one battles but tested the cultivators’ adaptability and team spirit. It promoted chaos among the ten-advancing cultivators on the arena, with the last one standing being crowned victorious.

“Yun Fan manipulated eight large coins to transform into bronze swords to combat his opponent head-on, while the last one sneaked an attack from behind. He emerged victorious… What? The opponent is dissatisfied with the results, claiming Yun Fan used nine large coins, exceeding the Spiritual Treasure quantity limit and breaking the rules.”

After voting, the referees deemed that these large coins were traditionally used as a set and should thus be treated as a single Spiritual Treasure. Yun Fan didn’t break any rules.”

“Yun Fan has emerged as the champion in the Foundation Establishment group! Let’s congratulate him!” The Heavenly Command Taoist provided exciting commentary.

Once the Heavenly Command Taoist was done, a disciple of the Sky Mechanism Tower, pretending to be a spectator in the audience, started clapping, leading the rest of audience to join in.

This was a cultivator specially arranged by the Heavenly Command Taoist to keep the atmosphere going.

Commonly known as shill.

The Golden Core group concluded.

The highly anticipated Nascent Soul finals began.

There were ten Nascent Soul cultivators standing on the stage, divided into two groups of four and six, the difference between them was clear to see.

The six Nascent Soul cultivators had battled their way through to stand here now. They already agreed unanimously that if they wanted to win, they would have to defeat these four Formidable loose cultivators.

“Charge! Let’s attack together!” One of the Nascent Soul cultivators roared with the air of a general, commanding the other five.

“The six Nascent Soul cultivators form a huge formation, combining their Spiritual Treasures to shocking power. This is the Six Sacred Dao Formation; the six of them occupying six positions, taking their advantages to the extreme. This is a formation that only those in the Divinity Transformation stage can activate. They’re barely using it in the Nascent Soul Stage. This is certainly a formidable weapon, and they’re charging forward! They’ve been thrown out of the stage by Bai Hongtu… huh?”

“Bai Hongtu is inscrutable.” The Heavenly Command Taoist barely got out this sentence. He didn’t fully understand Bai Hong’s tactics. While it clearly didn’t exceed the spiritual power of the Nascent Soul stage, he still couldn’t understand it.

“Who will be the ultimate winner in the end? Will it be the playful Bai Hongtu, the cold and ruthless Yu Ming, the Chen Jiannan who adheres to ancient rituals, or the plain and unadorned Li Er? Let’s wait and see!”

At this juncture, an odd atmosphere overtook the four men in the ring.

Bai Hongtu spoke with an ambiguous smile, “Everyone, since we are at the

Nascent Soul Stage, why don’t we stop using tactics beyond that?”

Li Er added, “We should all compete within the rules.”

The Sword King said nothing, instead drawing his treasured sword, the Sword Intent reaching to the heavens.

“Chen Jiannan has drawn his sword. He’s a sword cultivator!” The Heavenly Command Taoist expressed his surprise. This guy called Chen Jiannan had never used the Spirit Sword before, instead using other methods. Yet even so, the Heavenly Command Taoist, with his vast knowledge, should have been able to see through some of his tactics.

This Chen Jiannan had concealed himself deeply enough that the Heavenly Command Taoist began to feel a sense of unease.

Yu Yin brought out a gourd. The gourd’s mouth was opened, and it spat out thunderbolts.

“So, the gourd isn’t just a decoration. Yu Ming finally uses her gourd!” The Heavenly Command Taoist looked at the gourd in Yu Yin’s hand, and no matter how he looked at it, it felt familiar.

No, it couldn’t be. Was it possible for an Immortal Artifact to appear here?

Haha, he must be seeing things.

Next, Bai Hongtu held a sword in one hand, a talisman in the other while Li Er performed a small Dharma Appearance.

These were all Nascent Soul Stage techniques, but the Heavenly Daoist felt an unease in his heart.

“Presumed to be a sword cultivator, yet practicing talismans and formations, it’s a disgrace to us sword cultivators.” Swordsman was displeased with Bai Hongtu’s style.

“Who can blame the younger generation for being energetic? Cultivating the sword, talismans, and formations simultaneously without interference,” Bai Hongtu chuckled, not agreeing with the Swordsman, and was quite proud of his triple cultivation identity.

“Then let’s fight!”

“Then let’s fight!”

Bai Hongtu and Swordsman fought head-to-head, their swordsmanship was exquisite. When their Spirit Swords collided, the sound of echoing sword Dao resonated, showcasing their sharp and high spirits.

Their battle was considered a classic amongst the Nascent Soul Stage. Not a shred of spiritual energy was wasted. Bai Hongtu had many techniques. He pinched a talisman with two fingers, and made a formation with three fingers. Employing the sword, talisman, and formation simultaneously, he coordinated them seamlessly. Their combined power shocked the heavens and shook the earth, causing the platform – which even the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators couldn’t destroy – to start cracking under this power.

Needless to say, Bai Hongtu remained at the Nascent Soul Stage throughout!

Swordsman was devoted to the sword, his sword could slay all laws. With the Heart Demon broken, his Sword Intent rose to a higher level. No matter how flashy Bai Hongtu was, Swordsman could break it with his single Sword!

A thunderbolt was spat out from the magic gourd and Yu Yin wielded white flame in her hand. The temperature on the platform suddenly rose, the view was also distorted. This cold and ruthless woman turned out to be a fire spiritual root cultivator!

The intertwining lightning and flames formed countless thunderclaps. With a point from Yu Yin towards Li Er, the thunderclaps exploded in succession, producing a thick black smoke. Even though there was a big shield protecting the surroundings of the platform, the audience were shaken by the loud noise and their ears rang.

Any ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would die if they went too near it!

Though Li Er defended himself unparalleled by embodying the Dharma, he emerged from the smoke unscathed by the thunderclaps!

The audience below the platform were dumbstruck, was this still the Nascent Soul Stage? Even if it were the Divinity Transformation Stage, they might not necessarily be able to fight like this,

The four of them slowly heated up the battle. With the supremacy of the sword Dao, Bai Hongtu and Swordsman refused to admit defeat. Swordsman was the first to strike with a sword at the Divinity Transformation Stage level.

Bai Hongtu was at a disadvantage and immediately became furious: “Do you dare to say this is a sword at the Nascent Soul Stage?”

“Upon encountering battle, I break through due to my outstanding talent.”

“Very good! Excellent!” Bai Hongtu’s face was not smiling, “I have a Transcendence Tribulation Stage expert assisting me from within, I can temporarily elevate to the Body Integration Realm!”

A grand and splendid big formation surrounded Swordsman. Swordsman was unable to stop once he started moving and even couldn’t hold onto the sword in his hand.

This was a grand formation invented by Bai Hongtu alone, inspired by Jiang Li, which can reduce the friction within a specific range to zero!

“Without a sword, how do you plan to fight!”

“Without a sword in hand, I can’t fight. Is the sword such an inconvenient object!”

Swordsman invoked the Sword Qi in his heart, breaking the formation.

This is the technique of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage!

“You’re not holding back anymore, eh.” Bai Hongtu carved a precise formation on his sword and split the sky with a single stroke, clearing a cloudless path for thousands of miles.

It’s also a technique of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage!

On the other hand, Yu Yin and Li Er also stopped suppressing their realms, exhibiting the true intent of Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

The grand formation on the platform simply couldn’t withstand such power, and it cracked on its own.

All four chose to fly towards the vast universe without prior agreement.

The audience and representatives on the stage were all shocked by this sudden change. They gazed into the sky with their mouths open, speechless for a long time.

After quite some time, someone finally broke the silence.

“Imperial Physician, bring my heart-saving pills!”

Jiang Li considerately handed it to Ji Zhi..
