Chapter 817: She Might Have Reached the Immortal Realm
Even Cao Hui found himself in a state of indecision this time. He had never dreamed that the little demon girl would be so terrifyingly powerful, shaking an Immortal Tablet with a mortal body. It could be said to be unprecedented. Cao Hui struggled for a long time but still couldn’t make up his mind, so he said, “Let’s go back and discuss it with your grandfather first.” Upon hearing this, Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly. On the other side, after leaving the Lü family, Qi Huang led her relatives and friends towards Supreme Peak. “Where are you going? Supreme Peak or Jingtian Sect?” Cheng Hong Ling guessed. “How did you know I was going to find them?” Qi Huang was very curious. “Don’t I know you? Although sometimes you are a bit too kind, you have always been clear about your grievances. Since the Immortal Tablets of these two sects attacked you, how could you possibly endure it?” Cheng Hong Ling said with great confidence. “My wife understands me best! I can’t bring myself to destroy entire families and sects, but removing two broken stone tablets doesn’t require much courage.” Qi Huang chuckled. “That’s good. Not only can you retaliate against them, but you can also deter the entire Cultivation World. Our Dao Alliance has just been established, and we need to show our strength, otherwise, who would be willing to follow?” Cheng Hong Ling affirmed. “Yes, that’s my thought too. The strongest in the Cultivation World are those few Immortal forces. For our Dao Alliance to gain a foothold, we must make an example of a few to frighten the monkeys. As long as they are dealt with, the other cats and dogs will also behave.” Qi Huang expressed her thoughts and then began to speed up her journey. Qi Huang soon arrived at Supreme Peak and boldly removed the sect’s Immortal Tablet. Next was Jingtian Sect. Qi Huang removed three Immortal Tablets in one day, shocking the entire Cultivation Continent!
Sects or families wouldn’t accept defeat, after all, Qi Huang only removed their Immortal Tablets and did not destroy their immortal ancestors, who were the owners of the Immortal Tablets.
First was the Lü family. Although Lü Dao’s lineage was wiped out, many members of other branches survived, such as Lü Ze’s descendants.
How could these people be willing to give up? That evening, they set up an offering table in front of the spatial rift created by Qi Huang, offered some tribute, and then desperately called for help from within.
The onlookers around, who were about to leave, stopped again when they saw this scene.
“Everyone, look quickly, what are the people of the Lü family doing?”
“The rift leads to the Immortal Realm, they should be calling for help from the owner of the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet.”
“They are quite smart, using the spatial rift to contact their immortal ancestors. This is their only chance to turn the tables.”
“Yes, no matter how strong Qi Huang is, she can’t be stronger than an immortal. If Lü Bing really appears, there will be a good show to watch.”
The onlookers watched with great interest.
The people from Supreme Peak and Jingtian Sect followed suit, begging for their immortal ancestors to descend near the other two spatial rifts.
“Huh?”
Qi Huang quickly noticed these people’s unusual behavior and told Cheng Hong Ling beside her.
“They are still not convinced? What do you plan to do? Cut the grass and remove the roots?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked.
“The Lü family still has so many old, weak, women, and children. As the clone of the Dao Alliance Leader, I can’t kill them all. Let them be.”
Qi Huang replied after a moment’s thought.
“What? Let them be?”
The decisive Cheng Hong Ling was clearly not satisfied with this answer.
You should understand that brute force cannot solve fundamental problems. The best countermeasure now is to ignore them, because the Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, and they are unlikely to receive a response from their immortal ancestors. By then, everyone will understand that those Immortal forces pinning their hopes on the owners of the Immortal Tablets are daydreaming, and they will completely behave themselves.
Qi Huang explained patiently.
Cheng Hong Ling fell into thought upon hearing this. After a moment, she reminded him, “That makes sense, but as the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry. What if the owner of the Immortal Tablet is nearby?”
“If it’s that coincidental, I’m not afraid, because the immortal’s body is too powerful to enter the Cultivation World. At most, they can only use the peak power of the Cultivation World to deal with me remotely. What do I have to fear?”
Qi Huang reminded him.
“That’s true. Even someone as strong as Lu Yao couldn’t return to a low-level world, let alone these nobodies.”
Cheng Hong Ling also reacted. Qi Huang no longer paid attention to those clowns and then took the fragments of the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet to Shuiyu Valley, placing them at the entrance of the outhouse as a threshold, thus fulfilling her promise.
As Qi Huang predicted, the people from the three Immortal forces cried by the spatial rifts for several days but didn’t even see a hair of their immortal ancestors. In the end, they could only watch as the spatial rifts healed.
At this time, everyone understood that the Immortal forces could not pin their hopes on the owners of the Immortal Tablets, and they became even more in awe of Qi Huang.
Late at night, although there were four or five people in the Cao family’s main hall, it was as quiet as a morgue.
“Grandfather, about what cultivation level is required to casually open three spatial rifts?”
Cao Yang broke the silence first.
His wife, Hua Yu, chimed in.
“If he knew, he wouldn’t have died.”
Cao Meng sneered dismissively and then made a judgment: “Not only did Qi Huang casually tear open spatial rifts, but she also removed three Immortal Tablets in one day. Her strength has likely reached the peak of the Heavenly Punishment Realm, or perhaps even… an Immortal.”
“What?”
Everyone was startled.
“Grandfather, that’s impossible, isn’t it? If she has already reached the Immortal Realm, why is she still lingering in the Cultivation World? This world cannot accommodate her!”
Cao Yang questioned excitedly. He had coveted Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang for so long that he naturally didn’t want to wake up.
“How is it impossible? We were thinking within a confined scope before, believing that immortals must ascend. But don’t forget, Qi Huang’s main cultivation is her Spiritual Sense, and Spiritual Sense is not restricted by space!”
Cao Meng reminded him.
The expressions of the family members changed dramatically, and it was clear that they had all woken up.
“If she has truly reached the Immortal Realm, then our plan is in vain?”
Cao Yang said dejectedly.
“Do you still have any lingering desires? The difference between mortals and immortals is like that between clouds and mud. If we provoke her, our fate will not be much better than the Lü family’s.”
Hua Yu advised. She clearly realized that she was not qualified to be a competitor to Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang.
“Then… then the revenge for Cao Hong will not be avenged? How will Grandfather explain to the entire clan?”
Cao Yang asked unwillingly.
“When our lives are at stake, what explanation is there? If they want revenge, let them take revenge themselves, and don’t implicate others.”
Hua Yu berated him impatiently.
“Yes, as the Clan Leader, Father’s most important task is to keep everyone in the clan alive, not to be like Brother Nongfu, who only knows about grievances and grudges.”
Cao Yang’s mother, Madam Duan, rarely sided with her daughter-in-law.
“Alas! What a pity, such a monstrous girl. If we could have married her and obtained her cultivation method, then our Cao family, let alone dominating the Cultivation World, could easily dominate the myriad worlds.”
Cao Hui lamented with regret.
“Don’t be downcast. It’s not impossible for Cao Yang to want to marry her.”
Cao Meng suddenly said.
“Really? What is the method? Please enlighten me, Grandfather.”
Cao Yang became excited again.
Hua Yu frowned, but dared not interrupt.
“Don’t forget, our Cao family’s Immortal Tablet is the strongest in the entire Cultivation World, and our treasure land is also the best on the entire continent. Qi Huang can shake those low-level Immortal Tablets, but maybe not our Emperor-grade Immortal Tablet.”
Cao Meng reminded him first.
“I understand, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. What if she can really do it? Then we can only be slaughtered by her.”
Cao Yang said dejectedly.
“Cao Yang, you can be choked to death even when eating or drinking. If you want to marry such a monster, are you willing to take no risks at all? Is that possible?”
Cao Meng said with some displeasure.
“…”
Cao Yang wanted to say something but stopped, feeling ashamed.
“Father, what you said is indeed reasonable, but our Cao family is the foremost Immortal Family in the Cultivation World, and we are not yet at a point of life and death. Is it necessary to go all out? Offending that little demon girl will come at a price we cannot afford. The Lü family is a living example.”
This time, Cao Hui sided with Cao Yang.
“I never said we should go all out.”
Cao Meng smiled confidently and said, “Those Immortal Families cannot count on the owners of their Immortal Tablets, but our Cao family is different!”
