Chapter 201: Chapter 107: Kill It Now _1
Everything was frozen in time above the massive platform in the midst of the river. This icy blue world seemed to have been paused by an invisible giant hand.
The picture of the six Qi Training Stage powerhouses remained static, with their faces still exhibiting shock and fear, striving to mobilize the mana in their bodies in an attempt to break free from this powerful Divine Skill’s restraint.
Yet, everything could only cease here. The force displayed by the Innate Great Qi Capture, fused with the chill of the late year, is no less powerful than the lowest ranking Earthly Destroyer Divine Power.
As all beings are immobilized by the freeze in time, the six Qi Training Stage powerhouses could only rely on their spirit treasures to barely cling onto life. Under these circumstances, for Gong Buyu to kill everyone would merely require a single thought.
Gong Buyu slowly descended on top of a snowy mountain. At this moment, her mana had been completely drained, even her Divine Sense was almost depleted. This Divine Skill, capable of suppressing everything, put a tremendous strain on her.
Yet, this battle was ultimately hers to win.
Defeating six chosen ones without the use of spirit treasures, she successfully demonstrated her strength.
Propping up her empty body with pride, Gong Buyu looked towards the direction of the Primal Chaos Tower, gracefully lifting her hand in salute towards Shen Yuan, and said:
“As your disciple, I fulfilled my duty without a disgrace!”
“Disciple?”
All members of the surrounding sects, startled by the situation unfolding before them, were taken aback. This word, coming out of Gong Buyu’s mouth, left them feeling a wave of dissonance that they couldn’t comprehend.
After all, Gong Buyu, at the Peak of Qi Training Stage, had already reached the apex in the world. Faced with six chosen ones, each possessing spirit treasures, she took on six opponents single-handedly without the use of her spirit treasure. Such feats absolutely qualified her as the strongest in the world.
Under these conditions, where the world’s rules are incomplete, and inhabitants of grotto heavens sacred ground are suppressed, Gong Buyu could even contend for the title of the world’s number one.
But even Gong Buyu, so unfathomably powerful, had declared herself as a disciple, and was saluting towards the direction of the Primal Chaos Tower.
For a while, the entire Dao discussion was fundamentally boiling.
“Such a powerful being, she still has a mentor?”
“In the world today, is there a cultivator even more powerful than her?”
“Given how powerful she is, what realm could her mentor possibly be in? A Great Cultivator of Transforming God? Spirit Refining True Being? Returning Void Great True Human?”
“Impossible, the world rules are incomplete. Before the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge progresses further, it is impossible for a Great Cultivator of Transforming God to appear in this world.”
“Could the mentor she’s talking about be an old creature who stepped out from the grotto heavens sacred ground?”
“But the rules of this world are limited, these old creatures leaving the grotto heavens sacred ground will surely have to bear terrifying rule backlashes. It proves quite difficult leaving the grotto heavens sacred ground even by itself.
And to continuously bear the suppression of the rules in this world, if action is taken, unpredictable unknown consequences might be triggered. Under such circumstances, not many old creatures would dare to leave grotto heavens.”
“So what’s the story with the mentor she’s talking about?”
All over Primal Chaos Tower, they are trying to find the mentor Gong Buyu spoke of. But Shen Yuan and the others had already secured an exclusive VIP box on the upper floor, courtesy of Xue Mingzhi’s Qi Transformation Peak cultivation, and not many people could find their way here.
Furthermore, with Gong Buyu having a connection to Mount Laojun, the majority of people had focused their attention on the people from Mount Laojun, neglecting the location where Shen Yuan was.
In front of the window, Xue Mingzhi, standing next to it, had finally recovered from the shock he had previously experienced.
With an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes, Xue Mingzhi couldn’t help looking towards Shen Yuan, eagerly saying:
“Master, Sister Gong has won! She really achieved it, taking on six, defeating the chosen ones of several major sects and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau!”
Xue Mingzhi, successfully promoted to the Qi Transformation Peak and rose to the top circle of the Imperial Capital’s elite, couldn’t be clearer about what a Qi Training Stage powerhouse represents at this point in time.
To step into the Qi Training Stage, not only an extraordinary talent is required, but also numerous precious spirit objects and inheritances. Only when these three elements are combined, can a Qi Training Stage powerhouse be successfully achieved.
Whether it’s Mount Laojun, Sword Casting Pavilion or Xuanshen Dao, they all have notorious reputations among the major sects of the world. The Qi Training Stage elites practically represent the identities of these major sects.
The two seat holders Xuanwu and White Tiger are just below the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, possessing the authority to supervise all officials and holding high rankings among the powerful figures in the imperial court.
Such figures have already left the circle of Imperial Capital’s elites and have stepped into the layer of real power holders. Now the rising star, Xue Mingzhi, in front of them, could only be considered a junior.
Seeing Gong Buyu easily trample these power holders underfoot was naturally extremely exhilarating for Xue Mingzhi.
Similarly, Xue Mingzhi was even more convinced of his choice to follow Master.
Gong Buyu was extraordinarily talented, Xue Mingzhi was very clear about the gap between himself and Gong Buyu and did not expect himself to reach Gong Buyu’s level.
Yet Xue Mingzhi was confident that as long as he continued to follow Master, there was a high likelihood that he could reach the level of those Qi Training Stage elites on the platform in the future. This was already enough for Xue Mingzhi.
Shen Yuan payed no attention to Xue Mingzhi’s excited words. Staring at Gong Buyu standing proudly atop the snowy peak, he felt both relieved and somewhat helpless at heart.
Relief came naturally from Gong Buyu fulfilling the task he had given her. She successfully defeated all strong opponents and truly became the leader in the Dao discussion convention, leaving only a hair’s breadth in completing the sect’s grand competition task.
