Chapter 96

In the sky, a pure white cloud served as a celestial carriage for several girls, each with a unique charm. Among them, a woman sitting in the center chair outshone them all with her captivating beauty—a fair complexion, delicate features, and enchanting eyes. She held a wooden zither in front of her.

As they looked down at the massive demonic beast tide below, one of the girls noticed Li Su engaged in a fierce battle with the Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast. The others quickly turned their gaze to the scene.

Li Su’s attacks against the Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast were relentless, leaving it no escape. His Immortal Ascension Sword covered a vast area, effectively sealing off all escape routes for the beast.

The girls couldn’t precisely determine the beast’s rank from their vantage point, but they speculated. “What rank is that demonic beast? Could it be Fourth-Stage?”

“I don’t think so. Mangkang Mountain isolates this area, and the spiritual energy is sparse here. None of the immortal sects in this region have joined the Immortal Alliance. Where would they find a Nascent Soul cultivator?”

“You’re right. Although I’m only at the foundation-building stage, its spiritual pressure is still at the Golden Core level. It just seems incredibly strong to me.”

The girls continued to discuss, unable to confirm the beast’s exact rank due to the Immortal Ascension Sword’s enclosure.

However, the woman on the cloud carriage sensed something amiss and exclaimed softly. The girls asked, “What’s wrong, Miss?”

“He should be at the Golden Core level,” the woman replied.

“I told you he should be at the Golden Core level,” one of the girls responded.

“But the demonic beasts below should be Fourth-Stage Demonic Beasts,” the woman added.

“Huh?”

“Is that demonic beast really at the Fourth Stage?”

“Miss, how is that possible? He’s just a Golden Core cultivator. How could he beat a Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast so badly?”

The woman in the cloud carriage assured Li Su, “We mean no harm, we were merely passing through Mangkang Mountain.”

Li Su’s gaze lingered on the woman, a Golden Core cultivator of notable presence. She seemed to belong to an outside sect, and Li Su deduced that these women were outsiders passing through the region. Given their lack of ill intentions, Li Su decided to leave.

With the beast tide approaching, Li Su worried about the Sect Master, knowing that more formidable creatures might be coming. As he prepared to depart, the woman on the cloud chair made an unexpected offer.

“You possess incredible power. It would be a waste to stay here. Our Brilliant Cloud Sect is the only upper-third-grade Immortal Sect in the Northern Region. If you’re interested, we can welcome you as a member,” she proposed.

Li Su, however, seemed unfamiliar with the Northern Region and asked, “What is the Northern Region?” The woman was shocked, realizing that Li Su was either a stranger to the area north of Mangkang Mountain or hailed from a different place altogether.

“The location we’re in is known as the Northern Region. Situated in the northeastern corner of this region, it’s somewhat isolated due to Mangkang Mountain and the sea, making it relatively remote with thinner spiritual energy,” she explained.

“It’s rumored that ancient remnants of immortal artifacts are scattered here, which has caused the elemental magnetic barrier of Mangkang Mountain. That’s why this place is also called the ‘Cape of Looking Immortal’,” the woman clarified.

“May I ask if the Falling Cloud and Purple Extreme Sect are also located in the Northern Region?” Li Su inquired further.

“These two sects are part of the seven major sects in the Northern Region. One is in the southern part, and the other is in the north,” the woman replied.

“I see. Thank you. However, I’m not interested in joining the Brilliant Cloud Sect,” Li Su said before leaving.

Seeing Li Su about to depart, the woman quickly added, “I’m called Biro. May I ask for your name, sir?”

“I’m Li Su,” came the reply just as Li Su had returned to his flying boat.

“Miss, does he not understand what it means to join an upper-third-grade Immortal Sect?” one of the girls said, observing Li Su’s departure while their mistress remained focused on him.

By this point, Li Su had become a small dot in their field of vision.

Biro shook her head and said, “Even if he understands, he might not care. The fourth-order demon beast is dead, and it’s a good time to cross Mangkang Mountain. Let’s go.”
