Chapter 380: Chapter 379: Maybe a Bit Too Extreme

The ability pool for the third round of the remaining Death Fighters was only at the Silver Level. Abilities of this level couldn’t produce any extraordinary effects, not to mention that there was always the possibility they wouldn’t be usable.

As a result, these Death Fighters in the arena didn’t spend much time selecting from the third round’s ability pool.

After quickly choosing a skill, these Death Fighters naturally turned their attention to Lv Bai, who was examining the Immortal Dao Flower.

"What’s the big boss doing?"

"That flower, it’s the ’node’ of this Death Arena, right?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don’t disturb the big boss."

As the Death Fighters eyed the resplendent Immortal Dao Flower, they all felt a little envious.

After all, the Deathmatch System provides real-time positioning of the ’node’, allowing these Death Fighters to see at a glance which one of them held the ’node’.

Nonetheless, despite their envy, none dared to rashly snatch anything from Lv Bai; they simply observed from the shadows and indulged in their own fantasies.

Lv Bai naturally didn’t care about the thoughts of these Death Fighters. With the power he displayed, even if he were to put the Immortal Dao Flower on the ground, he was confident nobody would dare to reach for it.

He temporarily shifted his gaze from the Immortal Dao Flower and smiled at everyone, "No need to worry about me, you can move freely now."

After saying this, without waiting for the Death Fighters to respond, Lv Bai returned his attention to the Immortal Dao Flower, continuing his research on how to add restrictions to this ’node’ as if no one else was present.

Since he had spoken, how could the Death Fighters continue watching him? They all turned to find a corner to squat in.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment but chose to leave quietly as well.

Even though he felt relatively familiar with Lv Bai, he still didn’t dare to disturb him.

Though Lv Bai always seemed amiable, the terrifying power he wielded was clear, holding the authority over life and death, evoking inevitable fear in others.

The so-called "being in the company of a ruler is like being in the company of a tiger" exists for this reason.

...

"Mission accomplished."

Lv Bai let out a long breath and reabsorbed the Immortal Dao Flower into his Primordial Spirit.

He looked up at the sky, noticing it was already midday.

Simply adding restrictions to the Immortal Dao Flower shouldn’t have taken so long.

He spent most of the time checking for omissions, as once he left this Death Arena, he wouldn’t have the chance to make modifications if something went wrong.

He cast the Great Derivation Immortal Technique several times, which, while predicting the future, posed a considerable burden on him.

"Next, once I send out this Immortal Dao Flower, this match should come to an end?"

Lv Bai stood up, stretched his not-at-all-stiff limbs, glanced around, and murmured to himself, "So who should I give it to?"

A few candidates flashed through his mind.

Master Yuxu, the Third Supreme of the Golden Scale Sacred Land, the Sect Leader of Taishi Sect...

It seemed it could be given to any of them.

In any case, with the restrictions he added, no matter who he gave it to, they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

Emotionally, however, he favored Master Yuxu.

Unfortunately, the Sect Leader of the Cyan Hope Sect’s cultivation was only at the Integration Stage.

Ignoring Lv Bai as the First Generation Celestial Venerable, a successor as a Second Generation Celestial Venerable is better suited to be a Mahayana-level Great Power.

After all, he just adjusted the societal structure of the Cultivation Realm; choosing a powerful successor would ensure a smooth transition.

So should he choose the Supreme Elder of the Golden Scale Sacred Land?

Feeling uncertain, Lv Bai simply sent a message to the Mahayana Cultivators in the Inspection Team, asking them to come to the Cyan Hope Sect to meet him.

He notified more than a dozen Mahayana Cultivators, and during the process, he couldn’t help but mumble, "It seems there are still quite a number of Mahayana Cultivators in the current Cultivation Realm."

Proportionally speaking, it wasn’t actually much.

The number of living beings in the entire Xuan Province was in the billions, and how many Cultivators have reached the Mahayana Stage?

All told, there were only a few dozen, each with a name and a face, and more than half of them are on the brink of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man due to their aging.

For the sake of humanistic values, Lv Bai hadn’t recruited these aging Mahayana Cultivators into the Inspection Team.

The problem was, even if the number of Mahayana Cultivators was reduced by half, still no individual Mahayana Cultivator could suppress multiple peers on their own.

Currently, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was only declining and hadn’t yet depleted to the point where it couldn’t support even one Mahayana Cultivator.

Thinking of this, Lv Bai’s expression turned grim, a sense of killing intent rising within him.

His right hand slowly clenched into a fist.

"Since there’s no guarantee these Mahayana Cultivators will behave once I leave, it might be better to just slaughter all the Mahayana Cultivators in Xuan Province."

"Uh, Elder Lü, I’m not accusing you, but... isn’t this idea a bit too extreme?" Master Yuxu said with fear on his face, instinctively.

By the way, when Lv Bai had notified the Mahayana Cultivators in the Inspection Team, he also messaged Master Yuxu. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As the Sect Leader of the Cyan Hope Sect, Master Yuxu naturally remained stationed at the sect’s mountain gate.

Upon receiving the message, he rushed over immediately, just in time to hear Lv Bai’s last sentence, which sent shivers down his spine.

If he hadn’t heard any sinister laughter, he might have suspected Lv Bai of turning to demonic ways.

Lv Bai did some facial management briefly and teased casually, "Yuxu, do you want to become a Celestial Venerable?"

Hearing this question, Master Yuxu’s heart skipped a beat, not having time to correct Lv Bai’s form of address.

Instead, he hurriedly asked, "Elder Lü, is there something about me as Sect Leader that you’re dissatisfied with? I can change."

"It’s not that..."

Lv Bai let out a sigh, "Forget it, let’s wait for the others to arrive first."

...

Speaking of the other side.

Those Mahayana Cultivators who received Lv Bai’s transmission naturally dared not be negligent.

No matter what they were doing, they each put down their tasks and hurried to the Cyan Hope Sect at full speed.

Apart from Master Yuxu, the fastest to arrive was the Third Supreme, whose loyalty was beyond words.

Relying on a robust physical form, this Supreme Elder of the Golden Scale Sacred Land did not slow down once on his journey.

For someone to be faster over the same distance would probably require the use of blood-consuming escape techniques.

Being the one who was beaten down the hardest by Lv Bai but still left with a breath of life, the Third Supreme before Lv Bai paid the least heed to maintaining his predecessor image as a Mahayana Cultivator.

Upon arriving before Lv Bai, he solemnly bowed, "I pay my respects to Celestial Venerable Lü, your most loyal follower salutes you!"

Master Yuxu: "..."

Lv Bai remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand, "Since you’re here, just find a place to wait."

"At your command, Celestial Venerable!"

Third Supreme stood up with a loud shout, "Loyalty! Fidelity!"

Lv Bai: "..."

For some reason, Lv Bai suddenly felt a bit of a toothache, regretting having them shout this slogan.
