Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Become My Apprentice, and You Will Be the Next Sect Leader

Good…acting!

Gu An stared blankly at the arrogant Lv Baitian, thinking to himself.

Lv Baitian tilted his jaw even higher, thinking his grandeur had stunned the kid.

“Could it be that you are the former Sect Leader who succumbed to demonic deviation?” Gu An feigned shock as he asked.

Demonic deviation…

A twitch crossed Lv Baitian’s face, and he snorted, “That was intentional on my part.”

“But you are only at the Energy Cultivation Realm now, how can you wipe out the Demon Path?”

“Kid, I merely compressed my spiritual power into my primordial spirit, pretending to be deviated, just to show those people what Supreme Sect would become without me,” said Lv Baitian, his tone filled with contempt, obviously directed at the Hall of Elders.

Gu An fell silent.

How many innocent disciples would die in the conflict between Lv Baitian and the Hall of Elders?

“Let’s go.”

Lv Baitian reached out, wanting to grab Gu An’s shoulder, causing him to hastily retreat.

“I’d rather not go, it’s too dangerous…” Gu An shook his head.

He had to guard Medicine Valley!

Lv Baitian laughed teasingly, “Don’t you want to see how the battle between good and evil will end?”

Gu An shook his head frantically like a bobblehead, waving his hands as he said, “I’d rather stay and watch over Medicine Valley.”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to your Medicine Valley. The aura I’ve just released has already attracted a Great Cultivator here,” Lv Baitian said, no longer referring to himself as ‘this seat’, his tone now warmer.

Gu An truly felt the presence of a Void Crossing Realm aura rapidly closing in.

The Supreme Sect has such a profound foundation; how many Void Crossing Realm Cultivators are they hiding?

Lv Baitian made another move, and although Gu An could see his actions, it was not good to evade, so he had to comply.

Grabbing Gu An’s shoulder, Lv Baitian vanished into thin air with him.

During the process of being grabbed, Gu An ran his Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill to the maximum, concealing his Golden Core and Primordial Spirit, making himself appear a genuine Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.

The fact was, he was worrying too much, as Lv Baitian had no intention of examining his physical body.

After ten breaths, Lv Baitian stopped, bringing Gu An to a grand hall.

The hall was spacious, and the stone pillars on both sides were entwined with familiar Divine Beasts like True Dragons, Phoenixes, Qilins, and other Divine Beasts that Gu An did not recognize.

Lv Baitian let go, moving forward with a step, leaving a sentence behind, “Wait here for me, my powers have not fully recovered.”

Gu An could tell that he hadn’t reached his peak simply by using Life Span Detection, yet hearing such words from Lv Baitian seemed far-fetched.

You haven’t recovered and still you put on an act before me?

And you released your aura, not fearing that your adversaries might take this chance to finish you off?

Wait, could this rash man have brought him along because he had discovered he was Sword Venerable Fudao?

Once Gu An considered this, a cold sweat broke out on him.

He watched Lv Baitian ascend the steps, sitting on a golden chair like an emperor, looking down on all.

He could see that Lv Baitian was indeed cultivating, as the spiritual power inside him was being released rapidly.

The hall fell into silence, and Gu An pondered over Lv Baitian’s intentions.

After a while, Gu An sensed two presences rapidly approaching, one of which was familiar to him.

An Hao!

The aura of the other person had reached the Unification Realm!

He did not look back but instead walked to one of the side pillars to wait.

Seconds later, two figures flew into the hall.

Gu An glanced up and immediately performed a Life Span Detection.

[Lei Zhen (Unification Realm Layer One): 1465/2700/2750]

Lei Zhen?

Gu An had never heard of him and thought that it would be Sect Leader Chu Tianqi who would come.

It seemed that Chu Tianqi’s cultivation level might be even higher.

Gu An felt his own Unification Realm Nine Layers cultivation level was not that stable.

After this calamity, he’d have to work even harder to hoard life span!

Being the strongest in Supreme Sect wasn’t enough; he also had to survive the upcoming Demon Calamity. Thinking of this, Gu An felt pressured.

“Lv Baitian, you’re actually still alive!”

Lei Zhen spoke as he walked towards Lv Baitian, his voice booming like a bell.

He had a broad frame, clothed in splendid black robes, with a mysterious and fierce beast’s head on his back, mouth containing pale thunder, adding an even more domineering air to his appearance.

The sixteen-year-old An Hao had grown taller, dressed in a tight blue robe, with long hair tied high, and two strands of hair flying like sword winds, his handsome face unable to hide the sharpness in his eyes.

Gu An felt gratified looking at how he had turned out.

He’s really grown handsome, like me.

An Hao noticed his gaze and looked towards him, giving a slight nod.

“Lei Zhen, do you wish for me to be alive or dead?” Lv Baitian’s voice rose, his eyes remained closed, his tone even more indifferent and pressuring than when he faced Gu An.

Lei Zhen stood in the hall observing Lv Baitian, narrowed his eyes, and said, “A Void Crossing Realm, it seems you were indeed affected.”

Lv Baitian did not respond.

The atmosphere in the hall grew subtly tense.

Meanwhile, An Hao came by Gu An’s side, transmitting his voice, “Brother, who is this Lv Baitian?”

Gu An looked at him incredulously.

You don’t know yet you came?

An Hao then transmitted, “I was brought here against my will. My master asked Elder Lei to protect me, and we were evacuating, but suddenly Elder Lei turned on us and brought me here.”

Gu An couldn’t help but transmit a message asking, “In their presence, do you think our Sound Transmission Skill is of any use?”

Upon hearing this, An Hao couldn’t help but glance at Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen’s robes fluttered slightly as a terrifying aura brewed around him, ready to erupt at any moment.

“Lv Baitian, since you have faked your death, you’d better not come back. Supreme Sect doesn’t need you.”

After Lei Zhen’s words fell, the great hall’s doors thunderously closed, and an immense aura enveloped the entire hall, causing An Hao’s breath to catch.

“In front of the junior, you want to make a move on me, a former Sect Leader?”

Lv Baitian’s voice sounded, his eyes remaining closed from beginning to end.

Lei Zhen stepped forward and said, “Let him witness the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivation World!”

He suddenly charged towards Lv Baitian, raising his right palm to strike toward the top of Lv Baitian’s skull.

Boom!

The collision of two powerful Spiritual Powers created a terrible gust, shaking the entire hall violently, while Gu An pretended to barely withstand it.

An Hao shifted his position to stand in front of Gu An, using his own Spiritual Power to contend against the pressure, protecting him.

This kid …

Gu An looked at An Hao’s figure in front of him and felt a surge of relief.

Although An Hao was only sixteen, he had reached the Fifth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and in terms of aura, Gu An felt that he was already not inferior to Cultivators at the Eighth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Unfortunately, he faced the aura of the Unification Realm.

An Hao clenched his teeth, but even so, he was forced to retreat by the combined pressure of Lei Zhen and Lv Baitian.

Gu An seemed to sense something, his gaze shifting to the front, only to see Lei Zhen, who was on the offensive, trembling all over, his aura rapidly weakening, while another aura was escalating at an exaggerated rate.

Lv Baitian!

“You… it’s impossible…”

Lei Zhen suddenly cried out in shock, his tone incredulous and filled with despair.

The sitting Lv Baitian slowly stood up, his feet leaving the ground as he levitated and looked down upon him.

Lv Baitian’s expression was so cold.

Ninth Layer of the Void Crossing Realm!

Lv Baitian’s Cultivation Level had soared several levels in an instant, not only that, but he was also breaking through to the Unification Realm. To be precise, he was merely releasing his true strength.

An Hao too was captivated by Lv Baitian’s figure, his eyes filled with astonishment.

“You deceived me… Defying Fate Divine Skill!”

Lei Zhen said with a trembling voice, a mix of shock and anger.

Lv Baitian looked down at him mockingly and said, “Lei Zhen, you are still as impulsive as before. Your recklessness has caused the deaths of many, yet you never learn your lesson. Today, it’s your turn to face the consequences.”

“I was hoping to wait for Chu Tianqi to arrive, but you came to deliver yourself to death first. Since that is the case, I will accept your Cultivation Level. Don’t walk too fast in the netherworld; Chu Tianqi will soon come to your company!”

As his words ended, Lv Baitian raised his right hand and pressed it against Lei Zhen’s forehead.

Lei Zhen struggled desperately, but he couldn’t break free, and not only that, Gu An could see his Primordial Spirit also struggling.

Lv Baitian was using an unimaginable Divine Skill to suppress and then devour Lei Zhen’s physical body, Primordial Spirit, and Spiritual Power.

Gu An watched with a heart pounding in terror.

What kind of Cultivation Technique was this?

Boom!

Lv Baitian’s aura climbed to new heights, while Lei Zhen knelt on the ground, his body visibly withering away at a rapid pace, his wild black hair quickly turning white.

First Layer of the Unification Realm!

At the same time, Gu An and An Hao felt the pressure on them sharply decrease as Lv Baitian began to conceal his aura, sparing them from difficulty.

An Hao let out a sigh of relief, standing in front of Gu An, quietly watching.

Gu An felt helpless in his heart; he had taught the boy too little. In such a situation, this kid didn’t think to flee but instead continued to watch the spectacle, leaving Gu An with nothing to say.

Lv Baitian’s aura soared higher and higher, while conversely, Lei Zhen’s aura rapidly declined, the trembling of the hall beginning to subside.

After a while.

Lei Zhen’s Spiritual Power was completely drawn out by Lv Baitian, and when Lv Baitian withdrew his hand, his body fell backwards and then rolled down the stairs.

He struggled to lift his head, his weakened face filled with pain.

He raised his hand towards Lv Baitian as if to plead for mercy.

Lv Baitian lifted his right hand and flicked his index finger. A bloody Strength Energy burst forth, piercing through Lei Zhen’s forehead, scattering his Primordial Spirit.

Gathering Spirit Divine Finger!

Gu An sensed that Lv Baitian’s aura had reached the Third Layer of the Unification Realm, and there was still an outpouring of Great Spiritual Power within him.

That is to say, Lv Baitian’s Cultivation Level was definitely more than just the Third Layer of the Unification Realm, which was why he was an existence that the entire Demon Path dreaded.

Gu An became secretly vigilant, afraid that Lv Baitian would go mad and attack him.

After all, Lv Baitian’s son, Lv Xian, was not normal!

Lv Baitian ignored An Hao, looking towards Gu An with a smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and said, “How about it, do I now have the qualifications to eradicate the Demon Path?”

Gu An pretended to reply nervously, “You are the Sect Leader, you naturally can…”

He took a step forward, positioning himself in front of An Hao.

“Gu An, take me as your master, and you will be the next Sect Leader!” Lv Baitian looked down at Gu An, speaking in a tone that brooked no argument.

Upon hearing this, Gu An was immediately troubled and responded with a wry smile, “Sect Leader, I am of mediocre talent; no matter how much you cultivate me, I could never achieve a Cultivation Level that would make everyone in the Sect truly convinced. The moment you pass on the leadership to me will be the moment Supreme Sect falls into chaos.”

Lv Baitian gave a disdainful smile and said, “What if I were to transfer my Cultivation Level to you before my time is up?”

That …

Gu An suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

But he couldn’t possibly accept the role of Sect Leader!

Even the powerful Lv Baitian had been forced to fake death and pass on his position; Gu An certainly didn’t want that trouble.

Besides, by the time Lv Baitian’s time was nearing its end, his Cultivation Level might not represent much to Gu An!
