1081: 280_3 1081: 280_3 They likewise did not use a Flying Boat, but flew on their swords, each one of them at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
Cao Zhen discovered that the Central Continent seemed far stronger than their Eastern Wasteland—not by a small margin.
Since their arrival, everyone they met was at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection stage.
Upon spotting the group, the four of them paused briefly, and one of them raised a hand to ask, “Fellow Daoists, did you just see four people pass by?”
“We saw them,” Xiang Ziyu replied without hesitation, “The Four Sons of Snow Mountain just went by, saying they were headed to the Cloud Reaching Sect’s grand gathering.”
“Oh?
They have already passed by?”
“Let’s hurry and catch up to them.”
Among them, the one who had asked the question bowed fist in palm towards Xiang Ziyu and said, “Thank you for the information, fellow Daoist.
We shall meet again!”
With that, they set off in pursuit.
In the blink of an eye, these people had vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, Bei Yan looked at Xiang Ziyu with a peculiar expression and said disdainfully, “Brother, I didn’t expect you to be such a person.
They merely exchanged a few words with you and took off, yet you betrayed them by telling those behind us where the Four Sons of Snow Mountain had gone.
Look at the sinister expressions on those people behind us; they are obviously out to cause trouble for the Four Sons of Snow Mountain…”
“It has nothing to do with me.
I have absolutely no connection with the Snow Gods’ Four Sons,” Xiang Ziyu said, shaking his head.
While shaking his head, he exclaimed, “Besides, who says that just because someone looks murderous, they are definitely out to kill someone?
Maybe they look so menacing because they are going to protect the Four Sons of Snow Mountain.”
“You can say that, but I doubt even you believe it.”
Bei Yan sneered at Xiang Ziyu and then looked around and asked, “Master, what should we do now?
Why don’t you go check it out by yourself first?
Then we can quietly follow from behind.
Later, we can check out the situation at the gathering and learn more about the world, then regroup with you?”
“Regroup?” Cao Zhen felt that Xiang Ziyu was really being arrogant, especially since Xiang Ziyu had also reached the Golden Core Period Limit, he was utterly aloof, now completely disregarding his master.
“Do you think your master can’t enter the Cloud Reaching Sect?” Cao Zhen had just spoken when Xiang Ziyu interjected before he could finish.
“Master, how about we make a bet between us?
Your disciple here is at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and it was mentioned earlier that those at Great Perfection can directly attend the gathering.
But your disciple, unlike them, won’t show off my Great Perfection Cultivation Base.
Like you, master, I’ll only reveal the power of Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, yet I will still be able to enter.
Master, dare you compete with your disciple to see who can enter the Cloud Reaching Sect first?”
“So, are you trying to rebel now, competing with your master?” Cao Zhen scoffed, “Fine, I’ll take you up on that challenge.
I won’t be too harsh on you; if you lose, once the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth ends, I’ll teach you some spells, and whatever spells I teach, you must, unconditionally, cultivate them to the highest level possible.”
“Alright, no problem,” Xiang Ziyu replied crisply, then asked, “What about you, Master?
What if you lose?”
“Me?
If I lose…” Cao Zhen thought for a moment and answered, “If I lose, I promise to give you one chance to go out on an adventure, whenever you like.”
“Agreed, it’s a deal!”
With the final word settled, Xiang Ziyu instantly soared into the air, flying in the direction where the Four Sons of Snow Mountain and those filled with evil qi had gone.
Moreover, he was true to his word; during his flight, he didn’t display his Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection stage of Cultivation Base at all.
Instead, he only released nine golden pills before flying off.
Little Beiyan, seeing Xiang Ziyu’s actions, exclaimed in confusion, “Wait, that doesn’t seem like Third Disciple Brother’s style.
Shouldn’t he be flying in the opposite direction?
Isn’t he supposed to avoid the conventional path?”
“Little Beiyan,” Cao Zhen patted the shoulder of Bei Yan, who was no longer a little Disciple, and said, “You should have said that earlier.
Your Third Disciple Brother might have chosen a different direction to fly, but now it’s too late.”
Xiang Ziyu was not foolish.
Clearly, the Cloud Reaching Sect was in that direction, and since he wanted to win, he naturally flew that way.
Taking a different direction would only make him fly even farther away, unless someone provoked him.
Unfortunately, Little Beiyan provoked him too late.
Cao Zhen sighed inwardly and turned to his other disciples, saying, “Alright, your master is setting off now.
All of you, listen well, remember to follow your Eldest Sister’s instructions.
However, if possible, Little Beiyan, it’s best if you abstain from fighting.
Alright, your master is leaving first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhen quickly flew off on his sword.
Although he and Xiang Ziyu were the strongest of the group, the rest of them were also strong, especially since they had cultivated the Eight Nine Mysterious Art.
Although their Cultivation Base and Mana might not show obvious growth, their physical bodies had increased immensely in strength.
