Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1401 - 727: Biyun Sect_2

As for what made Liu Hongming’s reputation soar, it was a duel with a Late Stage Golden Core cultivator.

The process of that battle was particularly intense, Liu Hongming, with his Mid Stage Golden Core cultivation realm, faced off against a veteran Late Stage Golden Core expert, and surprisingly did not fall into too much disadvantage.

Although in the end, Liu Hongming was a bit unlucky and ultimately fell short by a narrow margin to the Late Stage Golden Core cultivator.

But it’s clear to discerning eyes that Liu Hongming’s strength is indeed formidable.

At least in that sparring match, Liu Hongming did not seem to have exerted his full strength, and this encounter was just a sparring after all!

In such a competition, many will hide some cards and methods to avoid exposing their strength, rarely does anyone go all out regardless of the consequences.

Under such circumstances, if it were a life-and-death struggle, the final outcome would be hard to predict.

However, it was after this sparring that Liu Hongming’s name immediately resonated throughout the Seven Southern Countries of Qingzhou.

Even in some of the more northern countries, many cultivators were aware of Liu Hongming’s name.

In the countries of Southern Qingzhou, numerous Golden Core cultivators deeply feared Liu Hongming.

The reason for this is that Liu Hongming’s cultivation in poison arts is unusually strange, with an unbelievably strong attack power.

Moreover, Liu Hongming has gone through many hardships since childhood, participated in countless duels, and has faced numerous crises, keeping his inner self calm and composed.

For such an experienced duelist with an eerie attack style, any Golden Core cultivator would undoubtedly be cautious upon encountering him.

Liu Hongming did not appear in the battle to besiege the Earth Armor Dragon earlier, presumably because the Five Poison Sect wanted to hide their strength, preventing the exposure of Liu Hongming’s Mid Stage Golden Core prowess.

Now, to strive for a higher ranking in the contest, the Five Poison Sect has dispatched Liu Hongming.

It is evident that the Five Poison Sect is keen to secure a significant share of the Spirit Stone mine vein.

At this critical juncture, sending Liu Hongming unexpectedly has caught many forces off guard.

Because of this, Lin Tianyun has vaguely felt a special pressure from Liu Hongming.

This pressure is subtle, easily overlooked unless carefully perceived.

Yet Lin Tianyun, being exceptionally gifted and powerful himself, only needs to focus a bit to realize this pressure indeed exists.

In this regard, Lin Tianyun felt a hint from Liu Hongming, and previously sensed this pressure from both Xu Zuo and Wang Minghong.

It is evident that Xu Zuo and Wang Minghong are very strong, as expected from members of the Liyang Sect of Xitang Country and Jiuyou Gate.

These two forces have a long heritage, their current foundation is deep, and the strength of their members is still formidable.

Comparatively, although the Five Poison Sect’s foundation is slightly inferior to these two sects.

It’s undeniable that the Five Poison Sect is also quite strong, hence producing a powerful Golden Core cultivator like Liu Hongming isn’t surprising.

In this regard, not only Lin Tianyun fears Liu Hongming’s strength, but also Xu Zuo and Wang Minghong.

However, according to the contest rules, as long as any strongman below the Late Stage Golden Core realm participates, it is not considered a violation.

And Liu Hongming’s cultivation realm is indeed Mid Stage Golden Core, naturally adhering to the rules.

This way, even though Xu Zuo and others are wary of him, it won’t alter the unanimously agreed contest rules among the cultivators.

Lin Tianyun, as the representative of the Lin Family, naturally understands this.

Moreover, he won’t retreat out of caution for anyone.

In his view, the benefits of the Liusha Wasteland must be secured by the Lin Family no matter what.

Based on this, let alone Xu Zuo, Wang Minghong, or Liu Hongming, even offending all Golden Elixir forces won’t change his resolve.

Knowing this, Lin Tianyun calmly glanced at Lin Tianfeng and the others behind him.

Afterward, Lin Tianyun leapt and hovered in mid-air at the center of the platform.

As each of the twenty Golden Elixir forces’ representatives emerged, Xu Zuo, being one of the organizers, took out a special magic artifact.

Then, Xu Zuo’s hands didn’t stop moving as he chanted a special spell incantation.

Soon, twenty differently colored light clusters appeared above Xu Zuo’s head unexpectedly.

These light clusters are the same size and aura, and even Divine Sense at the Golden Core Stage can’t penetrate them or manipulate their trajectory.

The cultivators present marveled at this change, clearly not expecting Xu Zuo to possess such a special item.

Thinking carefully, Xu Zuo, as a Third Order Formation Master, whose Formation Dao expertise is undoubtedly the strongest in the Seven Southern Countries of Qingzhou.

With his Formation Dao expertise at the Third Order level, creating something that isolates Divine Sense and prevents Golden Core cultivators from manipulating it is not too difficult.

Understanding this, the people present, though perplexed, knew for sure this was a method for drawing lots.

As for those light clusters, their number was precisely twenty, each representing one of the twenty forces participating in the contest.

Indeed, as these light clusters emerged, some text appeared faintly upon them.

And this text varied, once fully revealed, each corresponded to a participating Golden Elixir force.

Among them, the Lin Family, where Lin Tianyun belongs, was included.

Following this, under the attention of a group of cultivators, Xu Zuo swung his hand, causing the light clusters to bounce around wildly without any pattern.

In the blink of an eye, these numerous light clusters had countless movement trajectories, some even collided.

Then, a flash of light occurred, and two forces’ names appeared in the sky.

According to this, the names represented the two forces for the first round of duel.

At this point, Lin Tianyun also looked ahead with wide eyes, eagerly anticipating which force would be the Lin Family’s opponent in the first round.

Under his watch, the Lin Family appeared in the seventh light cluster.

As for the opponent of the Lin Family in this round, it was the Biyun Sect from Yuan Luo Country.

Regarding this Golden Elixir force, Lin Tianyun, though unfamiliar, had read a lot about this sect from numerous records.

According to intelligence records, Yuan Luo Country is located south of Golden Crow Country, in central Qingzhou Southern Seven Kingdoms, its territory almost equal to two Wei Kingdoms.

Within Yuan Luo, open and covert conflicts have never ceased, Golden Elixir forces have continuously emerged.

Especially over the past thousand years, there have always been five or six Golden Elixir forces in Yuan Luo Country.

As time passes, some sects decline, while others have grown stronger.

Among them, Biyun Sect has a long history, dating back two thousand years.

Currently, only five Golden Elixir forces exist in Yuan Luo Country.

Among these, Biyun Sect and Soaring Cloud Sect are the strongest, each having a long history, with publicly known Golden Core Stage cultivators numbering no fewer than six.

With such strength, Biyun Sect and Soaring Cloud Sect have almost continuously dominated the Immortal Path forces of Yuan Luo.

In the competition for the Spirit Stone mine vein, these two sects acted quickly, with great resolve.

Thus, in the siege against the Earth Armor Dragon, Biyun Sect and Soaring Cloud Sect were among the participants.

For this reason, both Biyun Sect and Soaring Cloud Sect have lost a Golden Core cultivator each in previous battles, the losses are considerable.

Yet despite this, Biyun Sect’s current strength allows it to faintly occupy a leading position in Yuan Luo Country, its influence dominating the cultivation world of Yuan Luo.
