Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 515 - 267, Today, the Butian Sect is established!

At this move, the cultivators present instantly held their breath, nervously watching the scene.

The dispute of the Orthodoxy of the Upper Sect would be decided by this secret decree. If the secret decree was genuine, then the current Flying Feather Immortal Palace would be a sham.

"This secret decree..."

Under everyone's gaze, Ruan Baimei took a deep breath, slowly opened the Immortal Decree, and meticulously examined every word upon it.

"This secret decree is genuine..." he said through gritted teeth.

However, before his words fully registered, he immediately added, "But the decree's intent is not for you, Xu Xing, to inherit the Seventeenth Sect Leader's Position. It is for you to await the opportune moment and safeguard the inheritance..."

"Xu Xing? You deceived me?"

Xu Xing's secret decree might have deceived the Dao Lords of the Starfall Sect, but it couldn't fool him, the true Junior Sect Leader of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. The wording in the secret decree didn't appoint Xu Xing to the Seventeenth Sect Leader's Position; it merely designated him as the inheritor of the law vein.

However, three days prior, when Elder Buxu Zi read it aloud, he deliberately omitted certain passages, only mentioning that Xu Xing was to "inherit the law vein"...

He had mentally filled in the blanks regarding the secret decree's content, which led to his deception.

These few words caused the cultivators from the Righteous Path sects in front of Welcome Hall to look at each other, their faces etched with astonishment.

They hadn't anticipated that, from start to finish, this entire dispute was a deception orchestrated by Xu Xing, the Pride of Heaven of the Righteous Path.

"Brother Ruan, why speak of deception? I never claimed that Sect Master Ren allowed me to inherit the Sect Leader's Position. That was entirely your own speculation," Xu Xing's expression remained impassive. As he looked at Ruan Baimei, a sneer touched the corners of his lips. "From the very beginning, my sole intention was to use you, Brother Ruan, to eliminate Hai An. You muddled the primary and secondary objectives; that is your failing, and it cannot be blamed on me."

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he retrieved a Record-Keeping Talisman and activated it with his Magic Power in front of the cultivators from the various sects.

Instantly, the events that had transpired at the Nanhua Sect's main gate three days prior materialized before the assembled cultivators.

"So that's how it was..."

"It turns out the Butian Sect never mentioned anything about being Orthodox or not..."

After viewing the scenes stored within the Record-Keeping Talisman, the Sect Masters of the various sects in Welcome Hall slowly nodded, concurring with Xu Xing's account.

"Since Master Xu made no such claims, then Young Sect Leader Ruan... doesn't his haste to refute him prove he has a guilty conscience?"

For a moment, uncertainty rippled through the cultivators.

If Ruan Baimei's position as Junior Sect Leader was genuinely bestowed by Ren Yuanrui, why would he react so hastily and lose his composure upon encountering this secret decree, thereby allowing himself to be manipulated?

"However, Brother Ruan, you yourself stated that the Butian Sect was co-founded by us with the intent to mend the heavens. Therefore, the implication of your words is that this Flying Feather Immortal Palace is not the true Orthodoxy!" Xu Xing, seeing the crowd's reaction, knew events were unfolding as he had anticipated. He immediately twisted the knife, adding, "In that case... since the Flying Feather Immortal Palace has lost its claim to be the Orthodoxy, what prevents me from leading the Butian Sect to pursue it?"

"The lesser sect shall supplant the greater!"

"Our Butian Sect is the true Orthodoxy of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace!"

He flicked his great sleeve, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone present as he declared, word by word, his voice amplified by Magic Power, instantly resonating throughout the area.

Simultaneously, Xu Xing unleashed his Nascent Soul Pressure without reservation, directing it squarely at Ruan Baimei's faction. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

PUFF—

Struck by Xu Xing's pressure, Ruan Baimei, a Dao Pill Daoist, had no chance to resist. His body shot backward like a kite with a severed string. His mouth fell open, and he spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"You..." he stammered, "you actually attacked... So decisive, so ruthless..."

Ruan Baimei, sprawling on the ground, glared at Xu Xing with a flicker of hatred in his eyes. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and gritted his teeth.

The disparity in strength was simply too vast to be bridged by artifacts or foundational power.

A Sect Master-level Nascent Soul Daoist Lord was on an entirely different plane than ordinary Nascent Soul Daoist Lords.

Although Ruan Baimei was a Pride of Heaven, possessing the Taibai Immortal Body, he was still leagues away from the level of the Five Elders, such as the Burial Halberd Elder. He stood no chance against ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators, let alone confronting a Sect Master-level Nascent Soul Daoist Lord like Xu Xing.

"Xu Xing, this is the Nanhua Sect! Aren't you afraid of repercussions from the Nanhua Sect for attacking here?"

"Don't say we didn't warn you!"

The Hai Family Daoist and the Ruan Family Taoist Lord exchanged a glance, then stepped forward to shield Ruan Baimei, rebuking Xu Xing.

Even when facing Xu Xing, these two veteran Dao Lords were not confident of victory. What they had heard before was hearsay; now, seeing was believing. The Nascent Soul Pressure Xu Xing had just displayed was potent enough to prove this. Had Ruan Baimei not been protected by a rare artifact, he would have been gravely injured in that instant.

They were willing to help Ruan Baimei and lend their support. However, when it came to a life-or-death struggle against a peer of the same realm, risking their lives for a junior was not worth the price. After all, Xu Xing truly possessed the power to kill them.

Standing behind the Ruan Family Taoist Lord, Zuoqiu Ying listened to the two Dao Lords' words of concession, a faint, mocking smile playing on her lips.

Nanhua Sect? They actually want to use our Sect to intimidate Xu Xing? The grand Flying Feather Immortal Palace, a Higher Teachings, with two great Dao Lords... to be so spineless... A thought suddenly bloomed in her mind: marrying into such a Sect... She no longer considered it a fortunate prospect. Compared to Ye Hualian, who had voluntarily died three days ago, this Ruan Family Taoist Lord and Hai Family Daoist seemed like mere buffoons.
