Compared to the young man's exaggerated smile, Daoist Wufa was much more restrained, with a hint of caution still hidden deep in his eyes. Others might take Li Sisui's cultivation at the Divine Illumination stage as a joke, but he couldn't, because this was Mount Fugu!

Below Mount Fugu lies Sage Hill. Cultivators on Sage Hill who wish to ascend Mount Fugu must pass through layers of restrictive formations. Many of these formations were created by sages and great figures throughout history, while others are remnants of ancient formations. With only a mediocre cultivation level at the Divine Illumination stage, even ascending Sage Hill is a struggle; attempting to pass through the formations of Mount Fugu is simply a pipe dream!

Therefore, when Li Sisui claimed to have the cultivation level of the Divine Illumination stage, Daoist Wufa did not believe him!

If Li Sisui appeared at Wulipo, then his cultivation level would be fine. But for him to appear at the Tianmen Sect on Fugu Mountain with such cultivation, and even brazenly try to steal a bride, he must either possess some unparalleled supernatural power, or have a reclusive master backing him up, or at the very least, some life-saving spiritual treasure. Otherwise, Daoist Wufa has never seen anyone so suicidal in such a flamboyant way...

If Li Sisui knew what was on Wufa Daoren's mind, he would probably say:

"Brother, just because you haven't seen some things doesn't mean they don't exist. I really am here to die, isn't that a coincidence..."

The more unscrupulous Li Sisui became, the more cautious Wufa Daoren became. Moreover, now that there were so many cultivators in Fugu Mountain, even if Wufa Daoren really wanted to kill him, he would at least have a legitimate reason. Otherwise, crushing Li Sisui would be a small matter, but ruining the reputation of Tianmen Sect in Fugu Mountain would be a much bigger problem!

The Tianmen Sect has stood firm on Mount Fugu for countless years, not just because of a momentary impulse. If Daoist Wufa didn't have a brain, the Tianmen Sect would have been wiped out hundreds of times over. How could it have become the number one sect on Mount Fugu today, with such a grand wedding for its only son, attracting the attention of all sects!

The young man laughed for a while before finally recovering his senses. He glanced at the Daoist Master Wufa on the high platform and saw his father slowly nod at him. The latter understood immediately, a sinister look appearing on his face as he thought to himself:

"You little rascal, you've dared to try and steal my bride! You've got some nerve!"

"You mere Divine Illumination stage cultivator, I could crush you with a single finger. But on such an important day, you've dared to humiliate me like this! I will grind you to dust, utterly destroying your body and soul!"

The young man raised his hand and retrieved the flying sword from the ground into his sleeve. Looking at Li Sisui's bitter expression, he sneered:

"Could it be that you don't have a master? Or are you some wandering cultivator in the countryside down the mountain?"

If that's the case, then I've misunderstood you!

Fine, I'll reluctantly tell you today, so that others won't say that I'm a bully who uses my power to oppress others!

The initial stage of cultivation is called the Divine Transformation Stage. After the Divine Transformation Stage comes the Divine Illumination Stage. Above the Divine Illumination Stage is the Transformation Stage, and above the Transformation Stage is the Transformation Realm. As for the later stages, you probably don't need to know about them.

Each realm is further divided into ten levels, from level one to level ten. Each time a cultivator advances in their realm, they must overcome a corresponding heavenly tribulation. Simply put, three levels equals a minor tribulation, five levels a major tribulation, and ten levels a divine tribulation!

At this point, the young man carefully looked Li Sisui up and down, smacked his lips, and said:

"Judging from your cultivation level of the third level of Divine Illumination, you probably haven't even experienced the first minor tribulation, have you? I really don't know how you got here!"

The young man couldn't help but voice his doubts. At this moment, the old man from the Hidden Moon Sect, who was hiding in the crowd, looked stern. However, when he thought of the scene when Li Sisui appeared, coupled with his composure in front of the stone gate, the old man revealed a cold smile. He was still convinced that Li Sisui was a reclusive master and that what he saw was just a smokescreen. Based on his understanding of the Heavenly Gate Sect, if Li Sisui were really a fool in the Divine Illumination stage, he would have turned into a pool of blood by now. How could the Old Demon allow him to be alive and kicking here!

Only then did Li Sisui realize that his Divine Illumination stage was no different from the Foundation Establishment stage in the cultivation novels he had read before. If he had to say what the difference was, it was that the name was much more profound and domineering than Foundation Establishment, but what good was that?

Li Sixui learned from the memories of this body that he was over two thousand years old. So he had been cultivating for over two thousand years, and apart from being a grandmaster uncle, he had only just reached the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm. He really was a cultivation genius...

Li Sisui was on the verge of tears. His invincible start had instantly shattered. He stood there blankly, not knowing how to clean up this mess. Seeing this, the young man grinned and threw a pill at Li Sisui. It was jet black and pitted, and just by looking at it, it didn't look like a good thing.

"Since I'm going to be a good person to the end, I'll reward you with another Marrow Cleansing Pill, which is exactly the kind of pill that the Divine Illumination stage needs most. Consider it a small gift for our first meeting, hehe!"

If you achieve success in your cultivation in the future, do not forget this opportunity today. If you can break through to the Transcendent Realm, the gates of the Heavenly Gate Sect will still be open, and I, this young master, will definitely give you priority in being accepted into the sect, hahaha!

The young man was smug and beaming, and the people around him chuckled softly. It was obvious that the young man was taking advantage of Li Sisui. Usually, only when a master and disciple meet for the first time would they exchange gifts. In addition, the young man's explanation was so profound and easy to understand that it sounded more like a conversation between a master and disciple. Moreover, he belittled Li Sisui to the point of being worthless, like a stray dog ​​wagging its tail and begging for mercy!

However, Li Sisui himself was completely unaware of this. His mind was filled with the disillusionment of his peak life, his invincible start, and he even became somewhat angry later. "This is too much!" he thought. When he saw a dark pill flying towards him, and heard the young man say what kind of pill it was, he swallowed it without thinking!

Ideally, it should be an incurable poison, so I can just die. It saves me from feeling aggrieved. Whatever, what protagonist's halo? Bullshit!

When the crowd saw Li Si swallow it without a second thought, they gasped in surprise again and began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Is this kid really stupid? What if it's poison?"

"Who in their right mind would dare cause trouble at the Heavenly Gate Sect, let alone try to steal a bride!"

"..."

Seeing that Li Sisui was so cooperative, the young man was overjoyed and subconsciously opened his mouth to smile:

"Ah, that's right, good boy...!"

But before the young man could utter the words "my good disciple," another unexpected event occurred!

Li Sisui, who had been ashen-faced, suddenly unleashed a powerful aura after swallowing the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The surrounding cultivators were caught off guard and were thrown about. Then, Li Sisui's robes fluttered without wind, and a mysterious force suddenly appeared in the world, pulling Li Sisui and slowly floating in mid-air!

To everyone's astonishment, the clear sky above Li Sisui's head suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, growing ever darker. Behind the dark clouds, crackling lightning flashed, and an invisible pressure spread out, making everyone present feel a chill.

"This is... a heavenly tribulation!"
