The demonic cultivator resisted consuming it, but resistance proved futile.
Following that, Elder Wu administered a distinct pill to the other demonic cultivators, one that was poisonous and would further debilitate them.
In reality, even a Golden Core peak demonic cultivator wouldn’t pose much of a threat in these circumstances.
After completing these actions, Elder Wu summoned some disciples to confine these demonic cultivators in the underground dungeon for further interrogation. He intended to question them personally.
“Who could have guessed that among the leaders of the Heavenly Demon Sect, there were two Golden Core cultivators, including one at the Golden Core peak? Elder Li, we are greatly indebted to you this time,” Elder Huang said, his eyes filled with amazement as he gazed at Li Su.
It wasn’t just him. The other nearby cultivators also stared at Li Su with absolute astonishment.
Venturing alone this time, Li Su had captured even the Golden Core peak demonic cultivator! In the eyes of everyone present, Li Su had only recently advanced to the Golden Core stage, as the sect leader had not disclosed his true cultivation level.
Most elders still considered Li Su to be in the early stages of the Golden Core realm. But who could have anticipated that Li Su would make such a remarkable display this time, dealing even with a Golden Core peak demonic cultivator in this manner? How powerful had Li Su become?
“Elder Li, if I recall correctly, you achieved the Golden Core stage around forty years ago, correct?” a voice inquired. It was the sect leader of the Blazing Sun Sect addressing Li Su.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
This marked the first encounter between Li Su and the sect leader of the Blazing Sun Sect, and although they had not crossed paths previously, Li Su immediately recognized the sect leader’s identity.
“It has been approximately forty years, and I vaguely remember. I can hardly believe how swiftly your strength has surged, Elder Li. Have you, perchance, reached the Golden Core peak?” The sect leader of the Blazing Sun Sect questioned.
Using talismans also required cultivation, but potent talismans could give a late-stage Golden Core cultivator a fighting chance against a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, such opportunities were exceedingly rare in the regions of the three major immortal sects.
Li Su’s achievement in defeating a Golden Core pinnacle demonic cultivator was already astonishing to the Sect Masters, even before he unveiled his current cultivation level.
“Reaching Golden Core Eighth Level in just over forty years...”
Muttered the Sect Master of the Fiery Sun Sect, and those around him were equally stunned.
The two Sect Masters were deeply impressed as they recollected the rumors surrounding Li Su.
Starting with Foundation Establishment at a hundred years old, taking multiple wives, and then rising rapidly after reaching Foundation Establishment. Li Su was now only a few years away from turning 200, yet he had already attained the Golden Core Eighth Level. It was simply unbelievable.
Could his spiritual roots be even rarer than Heavenly Spiritual Roots? pondered the Sect Master of the Fiery Sun Sect.
“Perhaps his spiritual roots aren’t as mediocre as the rumors suggest but rather an uncommon and extraordinary type,” the Sect Master of the Fiery Sun Sect speculated.
Even the Sect Master of the Seven Star Valley began to entertain wild theories. The elders of the Flying Immortal Sect joined in their speculations.
Going from Golden Core First Level to Golden Core Eighth Level in over forty years was extraordinary.
Everyone found it incredibly difficult to believe, considering they were all Golden Core cultivators who knew the immense effort required to advance on the stage. Even those with decent spiritual roots struggled to reach the Golden Core.
So, the only plausible explanation was that Li Su had concealed his cultivation or possessed exceptional spiritual roots. He must have encountered incredible strokes of luck, might even hide his cultivation in the past, to account for his astonishing progress.
In the great hall, amazement filled everyone’s faces as they speculated about various scenarios. Li Su knew he didn’t need to explain. He had no intention of doing so. He would let them arrive at their reasonable conclusions through their speculations.
