Chapter 18: Is This the Strength of the Dao Sect?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Floating in the sky, Su’en’s gaze was cold.

He’d seen the black-robed figure when he’d arrived, but he hadn’t attacked, and Su’en hadn’t been able to gauge his cultivation level. But now, he realized the man was a Golden Core Realm cultivator. In ordinary sects, a Golden Core Realm cultivator could be elevated to the status of an elder.

“An elder, attacking a disciple. Is that what the Nether Saber Sect is worth?” Su’en’s voice was frosty.

Instead of replying, Elder Lin stared at Su’en intently. Slowly, he said, “You’re a Golden Core Realm cultivator!”

Everyone was shocked, especially Wei Pan, who had survived after all.

The tales of the Dao Sect’s weakness must have been false. This disciple, the most senior of them, likely possessed great power. But Wei Pan hadn’t expected him to be this strong. Su’en looked young, in his twenties at most, and it took twenty years to enter the Golden Core Realm, under the tutelage of a high-level sect in the Heavenly Domain. How had the Dao Sect achieved it? Wei Pan’s own natural aptitude was decent, but he had only entered the late-stage Crystallization Realm after more than thirty years of cultivation.

“Senior!”

Ye Lingyun’s eyes were also full of shock. She’d thought she was going to die, only for her senior to save her. What’s more: he had broken through to the Golden Core Realm! Three months ago, he had only been at the late-stage Crystallization Realm. How had his cultivation advanced so rapidly, with merely average talent?

For a moment, Ye Lingyun was stunned. Su’en had become even more mysterious and perplexing.For the first time, she realized her senior was not half as simple as he seemed.

“You must be an elder in the Nether Saber Sect. Have you forgotten the rules of the Heavenly Domain?” Su’en asked slowly.

Elder Lin’s expression darkened.The laws of the Heavenly Domain stipulated that elders could not interfere in grudges between the disciples. Otherwise, they would be severely punished. It was a grave offense, one that might cost him his cultivation powers!

“Watch your tone, brat. Being a Golden Core Realm cultivator doesn’t make you my equal,” Elder Lin sneered. “Our Sect Master has already broken through to the Spirit Convocation Realm and is about to become one with the primordial spirits. Once he succeeds, we will become a powerful sect in the Heavenly Domain. Do you really think the higher-level sects will punish me on behalf of a weak sect like yours?” Even a high-level sect would take a Nascent Soul Realm master seriously, whose power gave them the right to no longer be called ordinary Daoists.

Laughing, Su’en jeered back, furious. “In that case, I’ll spare them the trouble. I’ll deal with you myself!”

Although Elder Lin had withheld his full strength earlier, he might have severely wounded Ye Lingyun, if he hadn’t killed her. If something had really happened, he might have lost his cultivation powers! It was already against the rules for an elder to interfere in a dispute between disciples, but such ruthlessness might strip him of his cultivation abilities.

If he let this elder off easily, how could he call himself the most senior disciple of the Dao Sect?

“How dare you!” Elder Lin’s expression was contorted. “Although we are both at the Golden Core Realm, you are only at its early-stages, whereas I am already at its mid-stages. How can a junior like you compare to my years of cultivation?”

“Enough talk. Show me just how powerful the Nether Saber Sect is.”

Not wasting time, Su’en sailed through the air. When one’s cultivation reached the Golden Core Realm, they would be able to fly.

“Then take a good look!”

Elder Lin wouldn’t back down in front of so many people. Still, he was wary of Su’en. Even the female disciples of the Dao Sect knew Earth-rank cultivation techniques, let alone their most senior disciple! Therefore, he was facing a Golden Core Realm cultivator who knew Earth-rank cultivation techniques.

It would be foolish to judge strength by realm alone. The Nether Saber Sect also possessed knowledge of a low-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique, but only the direct line of the sect master could cultivate this cultivation technique. Elder Lin was an outsider to this lineage and couldn’t cultivate the technique, unless he made a huge contribution to the sect.

If he had an Earth-rank cultivation technique, he wouldn’t be concerned about some brat who had just entered the Golden Core Realm.

“You can make the first move, brat. Don’t let it be said that I’m bullying the weak!” Elder Lin chose his words deliberately. After all, he was still an elder. If he attacked first, it would be humiliating. Besides, he wanted to see how strong Su’en was.

“Me first? I hope you don’t regret it!” Su’en laughed. This old man was about to die, and he still cared about his pride. Wasn’t he afraid to go out in disgrace, then?

In that case, there was no point holding back.

Su’en exhaled, raising his right hand and holding out his index and middle fingers vertically in front of him.

In an instant, his aura changed. It was as if a tsunami had erupted from a placid sea.

A powerful aura burst from Su’en’s body. A destructive aura of Divine Lightning crackled in the air and gradually condensed.

It made for a jaw-dropping sight. A second later, something even more shocking happened.

Above Su’en’s head, a huge white sword slowly appeared. The sword constantly emitted a lightning aura, and its deadly power was terrifying.

“Divine Lightning Sword Technique, Annihilation Form!”

An aura with the potential to destroy the world enveloped the entire mountain range. To their terror, almost everyone could feel it. Especially the Chen and Wang families. Most of them were only at the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realms, and the rest of them were mere mortals. Never before had they seen something so terrifying!

The sheer force of the aura alone was too much for them. What had happened in the contest today had completely exceeded their imagination. First, a disciple of the Nether Saber Sect had been defeated in one blow by the Dao Sect. Then a Nether Saber Sect elder had attacked a disciple of the Dao Sect, only to be stopped by their most senior disciple, a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

The whole saga had frightened them. In the past, there had been disputes between families and duels between sects, but only the disciples had fought. Today, an elder had attacked!

“Is this the strength of the Dao Sect?” Chen Ziling’s eyes widened, filled with admiration and longing.

Today’s events had made clear to her the power of cultivation!
