Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1831 - 1836: Mockery from All Sides
Ugh... Ugh... Ugh...
"What did I just hear?"
"What did Elder Bai just say?"
"Haha! Is there something wrong with my ears?"
"What a colossal joke, if everyone present here is trash, then what does that make the Hundred Victories Hall, which hasn’t won entry into the Imperial Sky Tower even once in a thousand years?"
"Haha!"
Faced with Bai Xiao’s cold snort.
Countless elders began to taunt back.
They genuinely couldn’t believe that Bai Xiao dared to say such words.
Unbelievable!
Under the gaze of all cultivators present.
Bai Xiao did not respond further.
With a smile on his face, he walked towards the top of the hall.
There, Ma Bai was diligently registering something.
Regarding the events in the hall, he merely glanced up and then continued with his work.
This kind of thing was all too common.
The Hundred Victories Hall had not just suffered this kind of communal oppression today.
"Protector Ma, Disciple Xia Liu of Hundred Victories Hall is entering the fray!"
"Oh?"
Ma Bai stopped his actions and raised his head to scrutinize Xia Liu.
He still remembered the situation back then.
Xia Liu, as part of the tenth group, ascended to the top with Fan Xin and Fan Yong.
Fan Yong possessed a rare Earth Spirit Root and was accepted as a disciple by Sect Master Tang Ze.
All resources were poured into his cultivation, with the intent to have Fan Yong form a Golden Core.
Fan Xin and Xia Liu, on the other hand, joined the Hundred Victories Hall.
In just a few months, Xia Liu, who joined the Hundred Victories Hall, unexpectedly altered Bai Xiao’s century-long rule of not having disciples participate in the Imperial Sky Tower competition.
What exactly is he hiding?
Ma Bai felt somewhat regretful.
Because at that time, he was entirely focused on Fan Yong.
He didn’t test Xia Liu’s potential.
But today, finally, there was a chance.
Let’s see what kind of talent Xia Liu has!
"Xia Liu of Hundred Victories Hall, step forward."
As Xia Liu stepped forward.
Everyone was able to determine exactly who was representing the Hundred Victories Hall in the competition.
"Tsk Tsk! Is it this young cultivator? Aside from being pale-faced, there’s nothing impressive about him!"
"Yet, he’s only at the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation and dares to participate in the competition..."
"The Hundred Victories Hall is truly formidable; after a century, they emerge with a shock!"
"Yes, it’s indeed quite shocking. Among the other competing elders and disciples, isn’t he the only one not at the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
"Terrifying indeed..."
...
Facing the hall’s commentary, Xia Liu didn’t respond.
He couldn’t be bothered to reply; you can never wake someone pretending to sleep.
Besides, before he astonished them with his strength, they would never believe he was truly powerful.
The position of Hundred Victories Hall was next to Tiande Hall.
Xia Liu glanced at the cultivators of Tiande Hall.
Among them, he didn’t see Sun Kong or Sun Huai.
It seemed they hadn’t reported the incident with their arms to the others.
This was within Xia Liu’s expectations.
After hearing from Bai Jue about Tiande Hall’s influence within the Imperial Sky Gate.
Xia Liu knew.
Even if a mysterious person had knocked their teeth out, they wouldn’t tell anyone.
After all, it was a matter of face.
Once the matter was exposed, someone would inevitably mock them.
While it might not be said openly, it would undoubtedly be a topic of private conversation.
Tiande Hall couldn’t afford to lose face like this.
However, the higher-ups in Tiande Hall probably knew about the matter.
Their elders looked at Xia Liu and Bai Xiao with such fire in their eyes they almost emitted flames.
Especially Su Mu and Mo Xing.
The two had accompanied Sun Kong to the Hundred Victories Hall that night.
Had it not been for Tang Ze’s appearance at the time, the Hundred Victories Hall would have been wiped out!
For those cold and even slightly murderous gazes, Xia Liu and Bai Xiao exchanged a knowing look and laughed quietly in their hearts.
Xia Liu had Bai Jue as his powerful trump card; whom would he fear?
Bai Xiao had long put life and death aside.
Now, they just needed to support Xia Liu and protect him.
"Cough, cough, everyone quiet down."
After jotting down for a while, Ma Bai stopped writing.
The Spirit Sound reverberated, and everyone inside and outside the hall quieted down.
Everyone eagerly looked toward a certain direction.
There, a grand figure was approaching on a flying crane.
It was none other than the Master of the Imperial Sky Gate, Tang Ze!
Swoosh!
The white crane flapped its wings, its breaking sound resonating through the Nine Heavens.
As he approached the Heaven Choosing Hall, Tang Ze transformed into a stream of light and respectfully entered the grand hall amidst the acknowledgment of all present.
"A flying Dharma beast! What a breathtaking entrance!"
Xia Liu couldn’t help but marvel.
This was truly the grandeur of the Master of a sect!
Back when he was in Dao Primordial and the Northern Region.
There was no such grand scene...
"Hehe, just a wild crane and a False Elixir Stage cultivator, it’s a scene that makes you want to laugh,"
Bai Jue’s voice echoed in Xia Liu’s mind.
"..."
What else could Xia Liu say?
For one who once had Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation.
A top powerhouse in the Cultivation Realm.
How could anything a sect from a fourth-level region compare?
It wouldn’t even be worthy to carry his shoes...
"No need for formalities, everyone."
Sweeping his gaze around, Tang Ze’s divine sense covered a radius of tens of miles.
The soothing Spirit Sound spread, putting every nervous low-rank disciple at ease.
As the Master of the Imperial Sky Gate.
He rarely made appearances before Outer Sect disciples or disciples under the various elders.
For disciples who hadn’t seen him, it was quite normal to be nervous.
"I won’t say much unnecessary. Today marks the day the Imperial Sky Tower opens, also the time to assess the sect’s talents. I hope everyone can display their top-notch strength and talents!"
Tang Ze continued, "Next, I, Protector Ma, and the attending elders will observe the competition among the talented disciples. Protector Ma will now explain the rules and procedures."
After the brief two sentences, Tang Ze remained silent.
His divine sense stayed on Xia Liu.
Since leaving Thousand Victories Peak last time.
He had been highly anticipating Xia Liu’s performance.
Today, he would finally witness his talent and strength!
By the time Ma Bai finished detailing the precautions and rules, an ancient hour had passed.
"I’ve finished speaking. Lastly, a reminder, during the final duels, no causing deaths!"
"Understood!"
After receiving the response, Ma Bai looked at Tang Ze.
"Good! Since everyone understands, let’s proceed to the talent and strength tests!"
As Tang Ze’s voice concluded, they watched as his Seal Decree manipulated streams.
A streak of light shot from his fingertips, infused into a wall of the grand hall.
Rumble...
Amidst a thunderous boom, that wall slowly rose.
In everyone’s sight, a transparent pillar was revealed.
The Heavenly Gift Pillar!
"Disciples competing for Imperial Sky Tower quotas, step forward!"
Tang Ze announced.
Before long, Xia Liu, along with dozens of other disciples, entered the inner hall.
Everyone else stayed outside to watch.
On this occasion, Xia Liu immediately sensed the strength of these disciples.
Almost all of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
This was freaking terrifying!
Xia Liu almost thought he had misjudged.
He quickly asked Bai Jue.
The answer received was unexpectedly correct!
"Xia Liu, don’t overthink Foundation Establishment. They are all key disciples under the Imperial Sky Gate elders. Without Foundation Establishment cultivation, they wouldn’t participate."
"Elder Bai, you don’t understand..."
Xia Liu wanted to say, in his world, reaching the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation was rare.
Foundation Establishment didn’t even exist.
"If there’s something I don’t understand, then you’re really impressive..."
"Cough, cough, just kidding, just kidding..."
