Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 754 - 650: Swarming In (Part 2)
“The cultivators of the Northern Domain were able to repel Thousand Bamboo Sect’s strongest true inheritor Yang Shen.
I think their strength needs to be reevaluated and isn’t as simple as we thought!”
“Indeed, Liu Cheng from the Beastmasters Sect and Shen Qingzhou from the Money Sect previously tried to trouble them, but never took action.
I thought they didn’t care, but now it seems they had some apprehensions!”
“Which of these Northern Domain people is the hidden fifth layer Spirit Platform expert?”
Despite some renowned prodigies causing trouble, the Northern Domain’s sect members managed to retreat safely.
This drew considerable attention, and news of a fifth layer Spirit Platform cultivator could no longer be hidden.
Cultivators at the fifth layer of the Spirit Platform Realm are true strength among the Abyss.
They can vie for positions as Trench Patrol Guests, ordinary folks might not encounter one in a year or two.
No one can ignore cultivators of this level.
Everyone speculates about the true identity of the Northern Domain’s fifth layer Spirit Platform cultivator.
“True Blood Sect’s prodigy Shen Ao Qun, known as the greatest prodigy in his sect’s history, once repelled Jin Gang Sect’s true inheritor across levels!
I think he is the hidden master!”
“There’s also an elder cultivator, with graying hair and declining Qi-Blood.
Such people fear nothing, and if they really fight with their lives, they’re scary!”
“Can’t say there isn’t a hidden expert…
Previously I looked down on them, but now it seems they’re tough bones to chew, caution is needed…”
After showcasing their power by driving away Thousand Bamboo Sect’s prodigy Yang Shen,
Lou Yi, Shen Ao Qun, and the Northern Domain members gained fame in Fangsu District and gradually stabilized their position.
However, what Lou Yi and others did not expect was.
Most outsiders think the hidden-power fifth layer master is Shen Ao Qun, given his greatest fame among them.
No one would suspect that Lou Yi, seemingly yet to perfect his Dao Foundation as a Body Cultivator, is the true mastermind behind the scenes.
Next, some major sect disciples who came to inquire about the cause of a fellow member’s death suddenly became very polite and courteous.
Upon receiving a Shadow Stone, they thanked you gracefully.
In stark contrast to the previous major sect disciples who often threatened violence, they seem like completely different people.
“Hey, strength indeed speaks in this world!
Once your strength is recognized, others will be courteous when speaking to you.
Without strength, even if you have a valid point, you must see if the other side cares to hear your explanation!”
Shen Ao Qun had an even deeper understanding of the strict hierarchy and the cruel ecology of power supremacy within the Abyss at this moment.
“Fortunately, Fellow Liu is here.
Otherwise, we would have to retreat sour-faced back to the sect, missing the opportunity of the True Monarch’s blessed land.” The elder Body Cultivator from True Blood Sect lamented.
Though he came with the resolve to act as cannon fodder,
with only a fourth layer Spirit Platform cultivation, even he self-destructs, it’s hard to heavily wound a fifth layer Spirit Platform cultivator.
The fifth layer Spirit Platform is a major threshold, signifying a cultivator has stepped into a new level within the Spirit Platform Realm and can attempt Thunder Tribulation to charge into the Golden Core Realm.
Such cultivators are rare even within the whole Abyss.
The gap between the Fourth and Fifth Layer of Spirit Platform is far greater than between the Third and Fourth Layer.
Lou Yi was far less optimistic than the two.
Now that the power is exposed, the good is they have a certain intimidation factor.
Having a fifth layer Spirit Platform cultivator means they can firmly hold a position.
The downside is that, if someone wants to deal with them, they will surely prepare thoroughly.
Then, it would be even harder for them to escape.
Most crucially, the first avatar is just a facade, able to possess fifth layer Spirit Platform cultivation only during an outbreak.
Once the fleeting burst is over, it ’wilts,’ unable to sustain combat.
’Need to quickly gather energy, the more the better.’ In Lou Yi’s heart, an urgent sense arose.
…
At this time, in the Fogless District of Fangsu District, a red giant flying vessel suddenly broke through empty space, making a grand entrance and attracting attention.
The vessel was fifty to sixty zhang long, its body semi-transparent red, as if constructed entirely from precious crystals.
With a dragon-headed prow proudly raised, its black eyes made from giant pearls captivated souls.
The hull was engraved with numerous dense runes, seemingly containing the ultimate truths of the universe.
With each flash, a divine charm is triggered, causing dizziness in viewers.
Standing at the forefront of the vessel were over a dozen people, each looking dignified and upright, the weakest aura among them at least fourth layer Spirit Platform.
Encircled by them like stars around the moon was one wearing a pale yellow brocade robe, a white jade hairpin in his hair.
Tall and upright, his complexion like jade, his lips often curled in a faint smile.
Though he seemed only in his twenties, both in appearance and cultivation being top-notch among everyone, unmatched.
Upon seeing him, some passing cultivators below were greatly shocked.
“Isn’t that Taiyi Sect’s Fusing Vessel? The cultivators from the Seven Major Alliance Sects are finally entering the scene!”
“I recognize the young man standing in the center, one of Taiyi Sect’s strongest true inheritors, Jiang Hui!
Although he failed in the competition for the Daoist title, his cultivation deepened, now not much worse than lower-ranked Daoists!”
“Taiyi True Symbols, commanding all laws.
With Taiyi Sect being one of the seven major Alliance sSects of the Vast Sea Realm, only disciples from the other six can rival them.
We small sects ought to keep our distance, lest any misunderstandings arise.”
Though not a Daoist, Taiyi Sect’s true inheritor Jiang Hui, accompanied by many, flaunts great sect heritage.
If someone observes closely, they’d find those accompanying him are mostly major sect cultivators.
