Once upon a time, the Core Formation stage was a lofty and unattainable existence in the hearts of all disciples!
Outside the Wuwei Sect, the blood of Core Formation stage experts is flowing like rivers!
In the memory of some of the older disciples in the sect, the last time there was a large-scale massacre of Core Formation cultivators was when the Demonic Sect attacked the Wuwei Sect!
At that time, Lin Caogen was only at the Body Refinement stage. Wearing black and gold armor, he directly killed a Core Formation stage demonic cultivator. This feat is still recorded in the Wuwei Sect History Museum!
They slaughtered all the cultivators who came to provoke them!
Lin Caogen looked at the corpses and sneered, "There are a few more people in here. Aren't they the youngest elders of my Wuwei Sect? They just switched to another sect and now they're attacking my sect's gate! They deserve to die!"
Zuo Chan spoke up, "The sect leader is right! These people are opportunists and sycophants! They left our Wuwu Sect back then because they didn't want to get into trouble because of the demonic arts the sect leader used! Now that our Wuwu Sect has this Diversion Array, these people are envious and greedy! They claim to be demanding an explanation, but in reality, they want to seize our sect for themselves!"
Lin Caogen said, "That's just how the martial world is! This is the martial world! It doesn't matter!"
Gu Xun'er sheathed her weapon, the Moon Golden Wheel, and walked to Lin Caogen's side, saying, "The remaining nine major sects of the Three Rings Continent are now almost completely wiped out! Their peak combat power has all been killed! The remaining people are just some early Core Formation stage or Meridian Condensation stage disciples! Now our Wuwei Sect can be considered the only one in the Three Rings Continent! But I'm afraid danger is coming soon!"
Lin Caogen said, "You mean the Mu family, the Gu family, and the Fang family are sending people, right?"
Gu Xun'er nodded and said, "That's right! These three major families should have already learned of your appearance at the Wuwei Sect! They will probably send troops here soon!"
Lin Caogen said, "I'm not afraid of people with Nascent Soul stage cultivation! I'm worried they'll send fifth-tier Immortal Spirit experts here!"
Gu Xun'er shook her head and said, "Back then, the Ten Immortal Emperors made an alliance and set rules! Fifth-level Immortal Spirit experts are not allowed to use the official teleportation array to go to the Third Ring Continent and interfere with the lives of ordinary people! Eighth-level Immortal Venerable experts are not allowed to go to the Second Ring Continent through the teleportation array! Even if someone like the Golden Knife Master Lu Qian who traveled for thirty years on foot a few days ago was found out, he would be executed by slow slicing! So even the Immortal Emperors do not dare to openly send Immortal Spirit experts here!"
Lin Caogen asked, "Why would these ten Immortal Emperors establish such a treaty? What is their purpose?"
Gu Xun'er laughed, "Isn't it all to protect exceptionally talented geniuses from being wiped out! People like Brother Lin! Even the Ten Immortal Emperors have been through it all! They understand the difficulty of climbing up from the bottom step by step! In fact, every region hopes to produce more Immortal Saints to serve the Immortal Emperors! However, those who can become Immortal Saints are all unruly and cause bloodshed in their regions! Someone as unruly as you, Brother Grassroots! If an Immortal Emperor or Immortal Sect were sent right now, wouldn't they wipe you out instantly!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "It seems that the Ten Immortal Emperors do have some vision after all!"
Gu Xun'er sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it! This world is in chaos! In another ten thousand years, the Heavenly Tribulation will descend again! The Ten Immortal Emperors are just trying to find more helpers to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Lin Caogen was stunned!
He had never heard of the Heavenly Tribulation!
Gu Xun'er seemed to realize Lin Caogen's ignorance and took the initiative to explain: "The so-called Heavenly Tribulation is a mass extinction event that occurs once every million years! Species begin to cycle again! Once you can avoid the Heavenly Tribulation, everyone's cultivation level will improve by one step! But if you can't avoid it, even the Ten Great Immortal Emperors will die!"
Lin Caogen was even more puzzled and asked, "Xun'er! What exactly is this heavenly tribulation?"
Gu Xun'er smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's a trial for the gods! Brother Lin! There are gods in this world! But every million years, the gods send their young members to each universe for a blood baptism! Our universe has three thousand continents! Every continent has a civilization! The gods draw lots to choose the continent they will be on for their trial! One god fights against an entire continent! If the god wins, he can return to the gods and be crowned an adult god! If the god loses, he will be killed by the people of that continent, and his godhood will be taken. The person who takes the godhood will become the new god!"
Lin Caogen was startled!
"So that's how it is! The gods are using us, the inhabitants of billions of universes, as whetstones?"
Gu Xun'er smiled bitterly, "That's right! But you can't say the gods are cruel! Brother Lin, think about it! Don't we humans also go into the great forests to hunt for the cores and inner elixir of immortal beasts to hone our skills? When we are strong, we use weaker species as stepping stones and whetstones! So, don't the gods look at us just like they look at immortal beasts?"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "Xun'er, you're right! The whole world is ruled by strength! By the way, I've heard people talk about the Heavenly Gate! Do you know what the Heavenly Gate is?"
Gu Xun'er trembled and said, "That's a very dangerous thing! The so-called opening of the Heavenly Gate means opening the barrier to the God Realm! Once that barrier is broken, it means the Heavenly Gate will be wide open! At that time, not only mortals can enter the God Realm, but the gods can also freely enter the mortal world! I heard that in every universe, there is a possibility that a supreme being will be born to voluntarily open the Heavenly Gate, enter the God Realm to fight and hunt for the divine sparks of gods! Not only for their own use, but also to hunt for more divine sparks for their family members! In the end, the whole family will become gods and enter the God Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Caogen was filled with excitement and exclaimed, "I want to be that kind of person! I'll open the Heavenly Gate, enter the God Realm and fight my way through! I'll give each of my loved ones a piece of divine essence!"
Gu Xun'er laughed and said, "The Heavenly Gate isn't so easy to open! Besides having strength stronger than a first-order god, you also need luck! The so-called Heavenly Gates are all relatively weak barriers! There are at least hundreds or thousands of these weak barriers in the universe, but you may not be able to encounter them! Moreover, weak barriers may not remain weak forever! Maybe in a couple of days, with the flow of energy, they will become extremely strong again!"
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "Xun'er! If I hadn't met you, I would never have known so many secrets!"
Gu Xun'er smiled and said, "Even if I didn't tell you, Sister Mu would have already told you!"
Lin Caogen let out a sigh of relief and said, "Xun'er, go back and rest! I suddenly remembered there's something I haven't done yet!"
Gu Xun'er blushed!
She understood that Lin Caogen was referring to the matter of "dedication"!
Her face flushed like a peach blossom, and she said shyly, "I will definitely keep my promise! Don't worry! Wait for me tonight!"
Lin Caogen was overjoyed and took Gu Xun'er's hand as they entered the sect's protective formation!
That night! Inside Lin Caogen's bamboo house!
Gu Xun'er suddenly slipped inside quietly. Lin Caogen wasn't asleep! He had been waiting for a long time!
After all, Gu Xun'er has been working at the grassroots level for many years, serving as a sales assistant for decades!
He's stuck in his business attire, it's hard to change! His style is already set! Lin Caogen was a chairman of a company before! He just likes this style!
I didn't sleep a wink all night!
All that could be heard outside the window was the sound of wind and rain, followed by a sudden clap of thunder that silenced a groan!
In summer, frogs croak and cicadas chirp, and crimson hues appear in the season of spring!
Wait until dawn!
Lin Caogen stretched and glanced at Gu Xun'er, who was fast asleep beside him. Satisfied, he went to the kitchen and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for her!
Just as Lin Caogen placed breakfast on the table next to Xun'er, his soul power detected that there seemed to be some unusual activity outside the sect!
That was the aura of a powerful being approaching!
"What was bound to happen has finally happened! Very well! Let's fight to our hearts' content!"
