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 beautya 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 Sus 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 couldnt precisely determine the beasts rank from their vantage point, but they speculated. What rank is that demonic beast? Could it be Fourth-Stage?
I dont 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?
Youre right. Although Im 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 beasts exact rank due to the Immortal Ascension Swords enclosure.
However, the woman on the cloud carriage sensed something amiss and exclaimed softly. The girls asked, Whats 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? Hes just a Golden Core cultivator. How could he beat a Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast so badly?
Hearing her words, the girls found it hard to believe. The Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast seemed in dire straits, enclosed within the Immortal Ascension Swords perimeter.
The woman observed, Hes at the Golden Core level, but the demonic beasts below are Fourth-Stage Demonic Beasts.
The girls were left in shock, doubting their eyes. Li Sus incredible prowess was hard to understand. They considered that even First-Rank Golden Core cultivators might not achieve what they had.
Miss, fighting a Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast with Golden Core cultivation, his Golden Core must be incredibly powerful!
Were the only Upper Third-Rank Immortal Sect in the Northern Realm, and we dont have such a genius.
Thats right. Ive heard that a Third-Rank Golden Core, when it reaches perfection, can hold its own against an average Nascent Soul cultivator, a Second-Rank Golden Core can remain unbeaten for some time, and a First-Rank Golden Core can gain the upper hand. Hes defeated a Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast with ease. Could he be a First-Rank Golden Core cultivator?
The young girls were astonished by Li Sus extraordinary strength on the cloud carriage above. His power seemed to surpass even First-Rank Golden Core cultivators. They couldnt help but be amazed.
However, their awe was interrupted as Li Sus commanding shout echoed from below. The next moment, the Immortal Ascension Sword launched an all-out attack on the Fourth-Stage Demonic Beast. Although the beast swiftly reacted, Li Su had besieged it for a while, causing it to slow down momentarily. In that instant, it was consecutively pierced by several high-grade spirit treasure-level Immortal Ascension Swords, leading to its demise.
Its dead! How is that possible? Is he still just a Golden Core cultivator? The young girls on the cloud carriage exclaimed in disbelief.
Boom
The Flying Immortal Sword pierced the fourth-order demon beast, and it collapsed to the ground with multiple wounds. Li Su remarked, This creature certainly knows how to feign death.
Reaching out, Li Su extracted a concentrated energy core from the demon beasts body. Unlike a Golden Core from a cultivator, this core held immense value. Other valuable items were on the demon beasts body, prompting Li Su to collect them.
Li Su recalled the countless times in TV shows and movies where characters hesitated to finish off their foes, believing them dead. It had always annoyed him, and he wasnt about to fall for the same trick. He lashed out at the demon beasts corpse, ensuring it was finished.
Is it dead? someone exclaimed, and the Blazing Sun Sect cultivators in the distance marveled at Li Sus feat of defeating a fourth-order demon beast.
Li Su ascended into the air and was noticed by a group of young girls in a cloud carriage. They were captivated by his charisma.
The woman in the cloud carriage assured Li Su, We mean no harm, we were merely passing through Mangkang Mountain.
Li Sus 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 youre 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 were in is known as the Northern Region. Situated in the northeastern corner of this region, its somewhat isolated due to Mangkang Mountain and the sea, making it relatively remote with thinner spiritual energy, she explained.
Its rumored that ancient remnants of immortal artifacts are scattered here, which has caused the elemental magnetic barrier of Mangkang Mountain. Thats 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, Im not interested in joining the Brilliant Cloud Sect, Li Su said before leaving.
Seeing Li Su about to depart, the woman quickly added, Im called Biro. May I ask for your name, sir?
Im 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 Sus 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 its a good time to cross Mangkang Mountain. Lets go.
