Tonight, the capital city was destined to have a sleepless night.

The glazed tile and the dazzling Imperial Palace had been destroyed by more than half, the plaque at the entrance of the palace was toppled over, destroyed and displaced.

At this moment, there was a heavenly light flickering in the distant night sky. It came closer, standing upright in the void, overlooking the capital city below.

It finally converged into a human shadow. This was a youth in a black Taoist robe, with a Yin Yang Fish pattern on his chest – It was unmistakably the Eight Diagrams. He murmured to himself:

“The spiritual qi in this world is so vast, it must be related to the previous reversal of spiritual qi. I didn’t expect there to be such a cultivator in the Mortal world f”

The youth in the Taoist robe was named Xu Muchen, who was this year’s gatekeeper of the Limitless Immortal Sect in the Mortal World.

The so-called gatekeeper refers to the important positions set up by the Five Immortal Sects in the Mortal World. They are held by powerful cultivators, replaced every ten years, and their role is to observe the situation in the Mortal World.

The Immortal Cultivation World doesn’t interfere with the Mortal World, but it still supervises, if there is a powerful cultivator doing whatever he wants, damaging the Mortal World and creating bad influences, it will elicit cleanup from the Immortal Sect.

The major events of the Mortal World are reported regularly by the gatekeepers.

This is the reason why Xu Muchen came here.

Just now, while he was cultivating stealthily, he sensed strong fluctuations of spiritual qi within a thousand miles and came to investigate.

Xu Muchen elegantly landed on the ruins of the Imperial Palace, sweeping his Divine Insight over the entire palace, but found nothing.

“Senior, you’ve finally arrived.”

Seeing a familiar figure from a distance, Yu Yunping’s face lit up with joy.

Of course, he recognized the person in front of him. He was the gatekeeper of the Limitless Immortal Sect. He rarely appeared in these three years, but each appearance left a deep impression on him.

Unfathomable and incredibly powerful!

Although he appeared young, he was actually over a hundred years old!

He was a genuine cultivator in the Golden Core Realm.

“What happened?”

With an unruffled expression, Xu Muchen remained indifferent towards Yu Yunping’s attitude. Even if the founding Emperor of Xia Country stood in front of him, his attitude would remain the same.

But Yu Yunping didn’t care at all, he immediately poured out all his sorrow, expressing his dire circumstances.

He told the other party everything that had happened, including the

Zhao Huai felt his palm tighten slightly, so he soothed her, “Don’t worry, I can handle it. Your husband is stronger than you imagine. In the past, you protected me, now it’s my turn to protect you.”

After hearing this, Yu Qinghan let go of his hand.

Upon thinking about it, it made sense. Her husband actually managed to infiltrate the capital city alone, his strength must be higher than she imagines.

In fact, she was only half right, Zhao Huai wasn’t sneaking in, he fought his way in.

After placing his wife in a safe spot...

Zhao Huai moved forward alone, and soon a youth in a Eight Diagrams Taoist robe appeared before his eyes.

The powerful can always sense each other.

Especially Zhao Huai, whose imposing aura hadn’t faded away, the Killing Sword was still unsheathed, with a faint spirit of awe radiating from his body, and his bones were surging with spiritual light.

Therefore, in Xu Muchen’s eyes, the approaching man was a formidable opponent.

Xu Muchen stood in mid-air, even though he was a Golden Core cultivator, he was not careless at all. He stretched out his right hand, a soft green light condensed in his palm, forming a transparent spirit sword, pointing diagonally to the ground.

He directly took out his life-bound magical treasure, showing his seriousness. Seeing this naturally formed spiritual sword, Zhao Huai instantly understood.

The person in front of him was a Golden Core cultivator.

The True Vigor of the Initiation Stage condenses and solidifies to form the Golden Core, by fusing essence and qi. The higher the quality of True Vigor, the stronger the Golden Core.

Simultaneously, the Golden Core can be used to create life-bound magical weapons, that are very compatible with oneself. The life-bound magical treasures can be constantly refined, going up to the point of ascension is not a problem, and you can fly without borrowing any magical weapon.

The Golden Core Stage is an extremely important realm on the path of cultivation, emphasizing the concept of representation. The Golden Core of a cultivator is the representative of True Vigor. Powerful Golden Core cultivators also have strange images that can intimidate enemies without any effort.

After stepping into the Golden Core Stage, the effect of the spiritual root will weaken a lot, and the speed of cultivation depends entirely on the quality of the Golden Core.

“Brother, looking at your attire, you should be a sect disciple. Why are you wading into the muddy waters of the Mortal World?”

Zhao Huai held the momentum of being able to eliminate thousands of enemies with a single hand, and in his light conversation, he aimed to suppress the opponent’s momentum.

In response to Zhao Huai’s display of power, Xu Muchen’s expression remained unchanged, and he calmly said:

“I am already a hundred years old, it’s not appropriate tor you to call me brother.”

Zhao Huai slightly smiled, seeing his opponent showing no flaws, he couldn’t use the Insanity Technique to break the deadlock anymore. In his white robe, he made no excess movements, he just placed his hand on the sword handle at his waist, adopting a ‘sword-drawing’ posture.

The people on the ground, seeing the postures of the two men, were so nervous they could hardly speak.

Some people strive all their lives to merely reach the Initiation Stage and don’t even know what the Golden Core stage looks like.

So, this confrontation before their eyes was beyond their imagination.
