Heh heh!
Hua Yu was not angry at all. Instead, she strolled leisurely in the great hall with an arrogant confidence: “Do you know? Before you came, this Hua Rong Sect did have disciples with an eight-point bloodline, and not just one or two. Every time they entered the sect, they would foolishly say words that surpassed me, but why is there no sound from them now?”
Hua Yu stopped and looked at Qi Huang: “Because as their cultivation progressed, they realized their own ignorance and arrogance, and the difference between a genius and a monster. Therefore, now they don’t even have the courage to speak big words.”
Hua Yu paused here and then looked around: “Am I right, elders of the various sects? You should know your own disciples very well!”
The high-level figures in the great hall all lowered their heads in shame. The truth was that their own personal disciples were like fireflies compared to the brilliant moon when contrasted with Hua Yu.
Hua Yu smiled with satisfaction, then arrogantly said to Qi Huang: “I believe you will be the next.”
“Is that so? Then you will probably be disappointed. I said I would be the first to shake your position as Saintess, and it will be tomorrow. I say what I mean.”
Qi Huang calmly reiterated.
“Very well! Since you are so confident…”
Hua Yu turned to Hua Ru Yi and said: “Then I hope Master will consider the overall situation. Before Jiang Ling’s talent is confirmed by the elders, do not be too hasty to discard the old and establish the new, otherwise it will be difficult to convince others.”
“That is natural. As master and disciple, I must let you lose convincingly.”
Hua Ru Yi was very agreeable this time, clearly full of confidence in Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang.
The discussion ended here, and everyone noisily left. Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling also rushed back to Jade Peak to cultivate.
“Don’t disappoint the Sect Leader, and don’t disappoint your Master!”
Shi Yuqi specifically reminded them halfway.
“Don’t worry, Master! Tomorrow morning, I will snatch the title of Saintess.”
Qi Huang guaranteed with great confidence.
…
The Cao family, located in the Gilded Empire in Zhongzhou, as the number one power in the cultivation world.
In addition, with the emergence of Cao Yang, a monster among monsters among the younger generation, their position is unshakeable, now and in the future.
After returning home, Cao Yang went straight to his grandfather’s dojo in the back mountain. He had to report his dealings with Hua Yu to his grandfather, as this concerned the future of the Cao family.
Cao Yang’s grandfather was named Cao Meng, the current strongest person in the Cao family. In the entire cultivation world, he was only weaker than the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance and the Grand Elder, and his cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Punishment Realm. However, due to his approaching end of life, he had been in secluded cultivation for more than ten years, and was usually inaccessible.
Due to his special status, Cao Yang entered the dojo without any obstruction. As soon as he crossed the shield formed by the soundproof talismans, deafening muffled sounds came from within. The surrounding space vibrated violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Cao Yang knew that those were the sounds of his grandfather attempting to shatter space, so he was not surprised. He continued to walk forward, heading towards the central area.
As Cao Yang gradually approached the area, the sounds became clearer and clearer. With each sound, a ripple of visible waves spread towards him. Wherever they went, all things were affected, causing plants to wither and walls to become mottled, leaving a scene of desolation.
Cao Yang’s steps began to become heavy, and dense sweat broke out on his forehead. After all, such spatial vibrations were not something that he, a mere cultivator at the Shentong Realm, could resist.
“Grandfather!”
Cao Yang finally could not hold on and shouted with difficulty. As his voice fell, the muffled sounds stopped abruptly.
“Not bad, you walked two more steps this time than last time. It seems you haven’t been slacking off during this period.”
An old man’s voice echoed from a distance.
“Grandfather, you repeatedly instructed me, how could I dare to slack off?”
Cao Yang took a deep breath and stepped forward, and the arena came into his sight.
At this moment, a white-haired old man stood on the arena. His figure was hunched, his limbs withered, and his skin-covered face was filled with age spots. His lips were chapped, with layers of calluses. His thin clothes were stuck to his body with sweat, outlining his skeletal figure. At first glance, he looked like a dead old tree, exuding an aura of death.
This old man was naturally the foremost expert of the Cao clan, Cao Meng.
In front of Cao Meng, a strange concavity was suspended. This concavity was roughly circular, about a foot in diameter, and it just hung in the air. Faint cracks spread around it, as if someone had punched a mirror, about to shatter.
“Grandfather, how is it? How much longer will it take to shatter space?”
Cao Yang looked at the concavity and asked.
“If your cultivation does not improve, I’m afraid you won’t achieve it even when you die.”
Cao Meng shook his head helplessly.
“No way? Why do I see that the concavity seems to be deeper, and the cracks around it are wider?”
Cao Yang walked up to examine the concavity.
“That’s your imagination!”
Cao Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head.
“It’s definitely not an illusion. Do you want me to punch it a couple of times for you?”
Cao Yang was eager to try.
“No! With your cultivation, if you touch a spatial rift, you’ll either die or be crippled. I don’t want to harm my grandson.”
Cao Meng repeatedly stopped him, then changed the subject: “Let’s talk about your matters. I heard that you had your father activate an Immortal Tablet?”
“Grandfather knows?”
Cao Yang was a little surprised.
“I’m just in secluded cultivation, not dead. Let alone the Cao family, nothing in the entire Gilded Empire can escape my eyes.”
Cao Meng replied haughtily. The truth was indeed so. With his spiritual sense at the middle stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, it was enough to cover the entire Gilded Empire.
“Grandfather is indeed amazing!”
Cao Yang flattered him, then explained the whole story.
“I didn’t expect the Hua Rong Sect to be so unappreciative. It’s only right to punish them appropriately.”
Cao Meng affirmed.
“Thank you, Grandfather. I thought you would blame me!”
Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
“How could that be? For the future of the Cao family, you must marry the Saintess of the Hua Rong Sect. Therefore, it is necessary to use thunderous methods to admonish them. If it drags on, there might be complications, as not only one or two people have their eyes on her.”
Cao Meng explained.
“Yes, that’s what I thought too. After this warning, they will probably have no choice but to accept.”
Hua Yu proposed the method of “eating from the east and dwelling in the west.”
Cao Yang showed a proud expression.
“Heh heh, that’s unavoidable. Since they can’t stop it, we can only try our best to ensure that the Hua Rong Sect doesn’t completely lose Hua Yu, and let her continue to be the Saintess. It’s the only choice.”
Cao Meng sneered with a grin.
“This way, the Hua Rong Sect not only provides wedding dowry for the Cao family, but also cultivates a daughter-in-law for me for hundreds of years for free. Instead of calling it a maternal family, it’s more like raising their own children. They are simply too filial, haha…”
Cao Yang laughed out loud proudly.
“That’s all because you, kid, are capable of finding such a good granddaughter-in-law for me. Eating from the east and dwelling in the west, perhaps only she could come up with such a brilliant plan, haha…”
Cao Meng also stroked his beard and laughed, then reminded him: “However, we cannot be careless about anything. If the Hua Rong Sect absolutely refuses to let her go, then you come and tell your grandfather. I will destroy their legacy even if I have to, just to get this granddaughter-in-law!”
“Thank you, Grandfather!”
Cao Yang bowed respectfully.
On the other hand, in the Hua Rong Sect, after a night of cultivation, Qi Huang had increased her cultivation level to about one-third of the third level of the Huashen Realm. With such an exaggerated increase, let alone spiritual sense, even the naked eye could easily see it.
Hua Yu! Hua Yu! You probably never dreamed that a cultivator with an eight-point bloodline would have such a heaven-defying cultivation speed!
Qi Huang couldn’t help but think with schadenfreude.
“Disciple, are you up? How is your cultivation? We need to go to the Tian Du Peak议事大殿 (Grand Hall).”
Shi Yuqi called from outside the door.
“Alright, today I will let them see what a true monster is!”
Qi Huang said impatiently.
