The first level of the Tiandu Sect's mountain gate was a place without much visual obstruction. At this moment, when the wide-ranging spiritual formation of rocks floated around Xue Kong, it was seen by all the demon cultivators on the first level.

The focus of everyone's attention.

All eyes converged on Xue Kong. He stood on top of the stone pillar, his posture upright and his expression undaunted. His sharp gaze met everyone's gaze one by one as they swept across.

Xue Kong did not disperse the spiritual formation of rocks, but let it float quietly around him as a protection.

"Even Liu's Asan, who is at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, is no match for this kid. It seems that Du Gong and Senior Sister have brought back a formidable guy this time."

"The formations he skillfully employs, and that extraordinary flying sword, these two abilities, combined with his sixth-level Qi Condensation cultivation, are more than enough to put him among the top three outer disciples of our Sky Poison Sect."

"Not only is his cultivation profound, but he also has many skills. He is able to return with Du Gong and Senior Sister today. He might have a chance to snatch the spot to be promoted to an inner sect disciple."

"He's making such a big fuss just after arriving at the Sky Poison Sect. This person has a flamboyant and arrogant personality. Is he trying to establish his authority over us?"

The disciples of the Tiandu Sect were discussing the matter, and they naturally recognized Xue Kong's strength.

In this demonic sect, strength is respected even more than in the outside world.

As long as you are strong enough, you will be respected and recognized, and no one will blame you even if you act in a domineering manner.

Those who accused Xue Kong of being unreasonable, like Liu Jia's Ah San, simply thought that Xue Kong had just arrived and didn't understand the local customs. In the end, they didn't expect that Xue Kong not only didn't fall for it, but instead fought back.

"Great! I finally hit the jackpot this time!" Liu Yunzhi was so happy that he almost shouted. From the looks of his fellow disciples around him, he could see their respect and recognition for Xue Kong.

This means that they also believe that Xue Kong is qualified to compete for the position of promotion to inner disciple.

"I'm more far-sighted. Instead of fighting for the stone pillars and practicing hard here, I'd rather bet on my fellow disciples who are more powerful. As long as they are promoted to the inner sect, I will have the honor of using the formations in the inner sect disciples' caves."

"It's a pity that I never won a single bet before."

"God has not let me down. Good luck has finally fallen on my head this time."

Ling Yunzhi was already laughing in his heart, but he still kept a serious expression on his face.

He turned around and looked at his fellow disciples who were staring at him.

He was even worried that Xue Kong couldn't see his "efforts", so he ran a little further away.

So that Xue Kong could see his every move even on the stone pillar.

He held his head high and chest out, like a guard, standing firmly not far from the stone pillar where Xue Kong was. He would secretly glance at Xue Kong from time to time, and when he saw that Xue Kong had noticed him, he performed even harder.

Xue Kong took everything in and couldn't help but laugh inwardly: "This person... is quite clever."

Such a cunning person can get along well no matter where he is. Perhaps this is why his cultivation is higher than most people here.

Xue Kong didn't care much about these things.

Under the gazes of those demonic cultivators, Xue Kong sat cross-legged directly on top of the stone pillar.

Just as he sat down, his expression suddenly changed. He looked down at the stone pillar beneath him and said in surprise, "It turns out this is not an ordinary stone pillar. It is connected to the ground and the empty space of the underground altar, emitting a trace of spiritual power."

"Practicing on this stone pillar will be faster than below. No wonder it is so popular."

There were people sitting cross-legged not only on Xue Kong's stone pillar, but on every other stone pillar. Xue Kong felt their cultivation level and found that none of them was below the fourth level of Qi Condensation.

From the beginning to now, Xue Kong has not even met a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, the highest is only the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

He is actually the person with the highest cultivation level here.

Not in a hurry to practice, Xue Kong spread out his right hand, and in his palm lay a thousand-eyed ant larva.

The larvae of the thousand-eyed ant are less than half the size of the little finger nail.

The naked eye couldn't see clearly, so Xue Kong could only use his spiritual sense to scan and finally see the Thousand-Eyed Ant inside and out.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"A Thousand-Eyed Ant larva, still in deep sleep. Its entire body is empty, just a hollow shell without any internal organs. It must first require me to nourish it with my spiritual blood before it can slowly grow and become complete."

This Thousand-Eyed Ant is quite strange. Even Xue Kong, who has a hundred years of practice experience, has never heard of it.

However, the effect he had felt before made Xue Kong interested.

The fake body created by the Thousand-Eyed Ant has no power at all, but whether viewed with the naked eye or spiritual consciousness, no flaws can be seen, and it feels exactly the same as the original body.

It may not seem to be of much use to low-level cultivators at first glance, but it is actually very extraordinary.

As for what state it will be in when it is actually used, Xue Kong has no way of knowing it now. He needs to cultivate the Thousand-Eyed Ants into shape and use them before he can explore it.

Thinking of this, Xue Kong didn't study it too much. He didn't have a beast-raising bag, so he put the thousand-eyed ant larvae into his sleeve first.

The animal breeding bag is the same as the storage bag, with independent space inside.

The difference is that the animal-raising bag can hold living things, while the storage bag can only hold dead things.

After doing all this, Xue Kong closed his eyes, feeling the spiritual power continuously coming from the stone pillars beneath him, absorbing it into his body to improve his cultivation.

The Stone Spirit Array was still floating around him, and it would activate immediately if anyone stepped into the range of the Stone Spirit Array.

…

The third level of the Tiandu Sect’s mountain gate.

On the windowsill of an exquisite ancient wooden attic, Du Gong and Jiuxing Lian'er stood quietly, looking towards the first floor, paying attention to Xue Kong's movements.
