Chapter 132: Bai Zihua Descends upon Mount Shu

Hua Qiangu, this young Heavenly Pride, finally officially became the Forty-eighth Generation Sect Leader of Mount Shu on this day.

A faint smile played on her face, yet her eyes flashed with a resolute light. She knew that from this moment on, she would shoulder the heavy responsibility of Mount Shu, leading this thousand-year-old Immortal Sect toward a more glorious future.

At the solemn ceremony, Hua Qiangu, dressed in the unique ceremonial robes of the Mount Shu Sect Leader, walked slowly onto the high platform.

With both hands, she received the token symbolizing the power of the Sect Leader.

At that moment, the entire Mount Shu seemed to tremble for her.

The Elders and Disciples cast looks of reverence toward her, one after another; they believed that this newly appointed Sect Leader would lead them toward new glory.

Hua Qiangu stood on the high platform, looking down at the crowd below.

Her voice was crisp and powerful: "Today, I, Hua Qiangu, officially become the Forty-eighth Generation Sect Leader of Mount Shu. I will do my utmost to protect Mount Shu and protect the common people of the world. I hope we can move forward hand in hand to create a beautiful future for Mount Shu."

As soon as her voice fell, thunderous applause erupted from below.

The Elders and Disciples expressed, one after another, that they would fully support the new Sect Leader and protect Mount Shu together.

The news of Hua Qiangu becoming the Forty-eighth Generation Sect Leader of Mount Shu also spread rapidly throughout the entire Immortal Cultivation World.

The other major Immortal Sects were full of curiosity about this newly appointed Mount Shu Sect Leader.

They were curious about what kind of ability this young woman possessed to be able to win the high regard of the various Elders of Mount Shu and become the Mount Shu Sect Leader.

In the days that followed, Hua Qiangu proved her ability with practical actions.

She reorganized the internal affairs of Mount Shu, selected outstanding talent, and strengthened the power of Mount Shu.

She personally led the Disciples to subdue demons and eliminate devils, displaying unprecedentedly powerful strength.

Every one of her decisions was precise and decisive, and every action was breathtaking.

The Disciples were filled with admiration and gratitude toward her, and the Elders also felt proud and honored by her achievements.

The other major Immortal Sects also began to look at her with new eyes.

Mount Shu's choice of this younger generation member, Hua Qiangu, to succeed as Sect Leader was definitely not out of impulse, but out of careful consideration.

Hua Qiangu also displayed the strength and means that a Sect Leader should have.

The other major Immortal Sects actually began to feel jealous, jealous that Mount Shu possessed such a Heavenly Pride.

Although she was of the younger generation, she had already clashed with them, the older generation.

How was Mount Shu so lucky that every once in a while, a peerless Heavenly Pride would emerge to bring it to another level?

This generation of Mount Shu had originally already declined, yet unexpectedly, a Hua Qiangu appeared.

Under Hua Qiangu's meticulous governance, Mount Shu regained its former glory, the sect took on a new look, the Disciples practiced diligently, and the Elders were also convinced and submissive.

Yet, all this prosperity and harmony was something Bai Zihua did not wish to see.

Bai Zihua's eyes held only the Qi Luck merit on Hua Qiangu's body.

He understood that as long as Hua Qiangu's life went smoothly, the Qi Luck merit on her would roll like a snowball, becoming larger and larger; by then, the difficulty of his schemes would increase exponentially.

Thus, Bai Zihua struck again in secret; he meticulously planned a conspiracy.

He used his influence in the Immortal Cultivation World to sow discord in secret, pushing from behind to incite the Qisha Demon Palace to attack Mount Shu.

He wanted Mount Shu to be left without a single survivor, to break Hua Qiangu's wings and cut off her support.

At the foot of the vast Mount Shu, the demon cultivators of the Qisha Palace surged in like a tide; black clouds pressed down on the city, and the momentum was monstrous.

Their target was precisely that Mount Shu, which had stood between heaven and earth for a thousand years through wind and rain.

Today, they swore to wipe out this legendary holy land in one fell swoop to manifest the prestige of the Qisha Palace.

"Mount Shu has long since declined; today's Mount Shu is no longer the Mount Shu of the past."

"Everyone, today we shall destroy Mount Shu to manifest the might of our Demon Sect."

"Destroy Mount Shu, destroy Mount Shu."

Bai Zihua's secret instigation and secret pushing had long since filled the Qisha Demon Palace with ambition.

In their eyes, Mount Shu was nothing more than this.

In reality, if it were the strength of the former Mount Shu, coupled with Bai Zihua's secret suppression and pushing.

With the strength of the Qisha Demon Palace, they might have truly been able to destroy Mount Shu.

But now, Mount Shu was different; the current Mount Shu was the Mount Shu led by Hua Qiangu.

When the demon cultivators of the Qisha Demon Palace surged toward Mount Shu like a tide, preparing to wipe out this thousand-year-old Immortal Sect in one fell swoop, Hua Qiangu had already made preparations to meet the battle.

This great battle concerned the survival of Mount Shu, and also concerned Hua Qiangu's honor and responsibility as Sect Leader.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Hua Qiangu used the Heavens Chat Group to successfully exchange for a simplified version of the Honghuang killing array—the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array.

This was an array of infinite power, capable of trapping enemies and putting them to death.

The Nine-Turn Yellow River Array was a killing array that displayed great divine power during the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, used to trap and kill the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

And now, what Hua Qiangu exchanged for was only a simplified version; this simplified version was already enough to deal with these demon cultivators of the Qisha Demon Palace.

At the same time, she also exchanged for the Great Emperor Killing Array; this was a tyrannical and powerful means of attack, capable of instantly destroying the enemy's defensive lines.

The Great Emperor's slaughter could trigger supreme carnage.

Long ago, Hua Qiangu had exchanged for these arrays, making the Mount Shu Disciples practice in coordination day and night.

Now that the Qisha Demon Palace demon cultivators were attacking Mount Shu, it was precisely the time to test these results.

As the great battle began, Hua Qiangu led the Mount Shu Disciples to quickly set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array.

With the activation of the array, the entire Mount Shu seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious power, and waves of powerful energy fluctuations surged within the array.

The demon cultivators of the Qisha Demon Palace were attracted by this power and stepped into the array one after another.

However, they did not realize that they had already fallen into a dead end.

In the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, they seemed to be placed in a state of Chaos, surrounded by endless Yellow River water currents; no matter how they struggled, they could not escape.

And Hua Qiangu stood outside the array, coldly watching all of this.

When the demon cultivators fell into despair, Hua Qiangu activated the Great Emperor Killing Array.

A majestic force erupted from the formation, like a landslide or a tsunami, instantly swallowing the demonic cultivators within it.

In the face of such powerful force, the demonic cultivators had no power to resist and could only let their lives be taken away.

The overbearing and powerful force of slaughter swept across the entire battlefield in an instant, tearing the demonic cultivators' defensive lines to pieces.

Disciples of the Qisha Demon Palace attacked Mount Shu, but what awaited them was not a slaughter, but a pit-slaughter.

The Mount Shu disciples did not even need to expend any effort before they were all annihilated by the Mount Shu disciples.

In the decisive battle, Hua Qiangu not only deployed a powerful formation through clever strategy, but also personally demonstrated her astonishing strength during the fight.

As the battle progressed, Hua Qiangu's figure shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost, her sword technique sharp and lethal.

When she swung her sword, a cold light flashed by, as if even Space itself were frozen.

That radiance instantly tore through the sky like a falling meteor, shaking the entire battlefield.

Under her sword, several originally powerful demonic cultivators fell one after another, their lives ruthlessly taken away at that moment.

The strength of Hua Qiangu's sword technique was chilling.

And what was most shocking was that Hua Qiangu had actually killed the Palace Master of the Qisha Demon Palace with a single sword strike.

This Palace Master was a top-tier expert among the demonic cultivators, with unfathomable strength.

Yet under Hua Qiangu's sword, he did not have the slightest power to resist.

Hua Qiangu swung her sword, and sword Qi surged, striking directly at the Palace Master's head.

In his astonishment, that Palace Master was instantly pierced through by the sword Qi and fell into a pool of blood.

In this battle, Hua Qiangu demonstrated her powerful strength as the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, and also made her name resound throughout the Immortal Cultivation World.

As the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, what she displayed was not only the means to devise strategies, but also strength.

After annihilating the demonic cultivators of the Qisha Demon Palace who had come to invade, Hua Qiangu did not stop her steps.

Alone with her sword, her momentum like a rainbow, she headed straight for the lair of the Qisha Demon Palace.

The lair of the Qisha Demon Palace was located in a remote and precipitous mountain range, surrounded by thick demonic Qi, appearing gloomy and terrifying.

However, Hua Qiangu was completely fearless; she held her long sword, traveled through the air, and went straight to the heart of the enemy.

When she stepped into the lair of the Qisha Demon Palace, those remaining demonic cultivators were still in a state of astonishment.

After all, today their Qisha Demon Palace was supposed to exterminate Mount Shu.

These people guarding the lair were all waiting for news that Mount Shu had been exterminated.

Who would have thought that not only did Mount Shu not seem to have been exterminated, but now Hua Qiangu would be so decisive and brave, killing her way directly to their doorstep.

Hua Qiangu did not give them any chance to catch their breath.

Her figure was like lightning, her sword light like a rainbow, as she shuttled among the demonic cultivators.

Every sword strike was accompanied by powerful sword Qi, slaughtering the demonic cultivators one by one.

Although those demonic cultivators were numerous, in the face of Hua Qiangu's powerful strength, they were as vulnerable as ants.

They fell into pools of blood one after another, and the lair of the Qisha Demon Palace was razed to the ground by Hua Qiangu in a matter of moments.

With this battle, Hua Qiangu completely erased the Qisha Demon Palace from the Immortal Cultivation World.

After this great battle, the name of Hua Qiangu spread throughout the world.

No one dared to look down on the current Mount Shu or the current Sect Leader of Mount Shu ever again.

Bai Zihua witnessed the scene of the Qisha Demon Palace being wiped out by Hua Qiangu alone with her sword, and he was furious, cursing: "Trash, simply trash!"

He had originally planned carefully, wanting to use the power of the Qisha Demon Palace to destroy Mount Shu, so as to suppress Hua Qiangu and weaken her influence.

To break Hua Qiangu's wings and suppress Hua Qiangu, paving the way for his later schemes.

But the result was beyond his expectations; the Qisha Demon Palace not only failed to destroy Mount Shu, but instead made Hua Qiangu famous and feared everywhere.

Bai Zihua's expression was gloomy; he knew deeply that the Qi Luck on Hua Qiangu was becoming more and more powerful, which made her increasingly difficult to deal with.

As the reincarnation of a deity, Hua Qiangu possessed immeasurable potential and power.

Once she awakened the power of her past life as a deity, or even inherited the power of a deity, even he would feel it was troublesome at that time.

This was the situation Bai Zihua least wanted to see.

He had been planning in secret to suppress Hua Qiangu, but her growth rate had far exceeded his expectations.

Whether it was Licentiate Hua being alive or Hua Qiangu becoming the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, these were all beyond his original expectations.

Bai Zihua's heart was filled with anger and unease; he knew that if he did not take action as soon as possible, Hua Qiangu would become stronger and stronger.

By that time, it would be even harder to deal with Hua Qiangu.

After careful consideration, Bai Zihua finally made up his mind. He did not hesitate at all and prepared to descend to the lower realm directly to take Hua Qiangu as his disciple.

In the Six Realms, the bond between master and disciple is regarded as one of the deepest bonds.

Once this relationship is established, one can not only share the Qi Luck Merit on the disciple, but also guide the disciple's path of cultivation.

Originally, Bai Zihua intended to take Hua Qiangu as his disciple in the guise of a savior.

He hoped to obtain the Qi Luck on Hua Qiangu, and at the same time control Hua Qiangu, cultivating her into being completely dependent on him.

But the development of events exceeded his expectations; Hua Qiangu was not destroyed by the Qisha Demon Palace, but instead became famous and her strength greatly increased.

Wanting to control Hua Qiangu in this way was, at least for now, impossible.

Now, Bai Zihua could no longer wait.

He understood that if he delayed any longer, Hua Qiangu's Qi Luck would become even more prosperous, and it would be even more difficult to take her as his disciple then.

Therefore, he decided without hesitation to descend to the lower realm personally to take Hua Qiangu as his disciple.

During the process of descending to the lower realm, Bai Zihua made full preparations.

He knew Hua Qiangu's personality and preferences well, and also understood her path of cultivation.

Bai Zihua made up his mind; he firmly believed that as long as he successfully took Hua Qiangu as his disciple, relying on his familiarity with her, he would be able to quickly control this gifted Disciple.

He knew Hua Qiangu's personality traits and hobbies well.

Bai Zihua planned to use this understanding to gradually infiltrate his own will into his interactions with his disciple, guiding Hua Qiangu to act according to his wishes.

It would be best if he could make Hua Qiangu voluntarily contribute her own Qi Luck Merit.

Thinking of this, Bai Zihua did not hesitate any longer and descended directly upon Mount Shu.

Bai Zihua descended upon Mount Shu in his capacity as an Immortal, causing a massive tremor throughout the Immortal Cultivation World.

Now that the God Realm has perished, the Immortal World, as the most powerful realm, naturally receives the reverence and respect of all cultivators.

And Mount Shu, as an immortal cultivation sect, naturally has an even deeper understanding of the Immortals of the Immortal World.

Bai Zihua chose to descend upon Mount Shu in the identity of an Immortal, which clearly had a deep meaning.

He wanted to display his strength and majesty in this way, and at the same time, he wanted to shock Hua Qiangu through this method, letting her understand his strength and status.

The moment Bai Zihua descended upon Mount Shu, the entire Mount Shu shook because of it.

The aura of an Immortal permeated the air, making all cultivators feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

And Bai Zihua's unfathomable strength and majesty made all the cultivators marvel at him.

Regardless of anything else, Bai Zihua is the number one Immortal of the Immortal World, and can be said to be the most powerful being in the Six Realms today.

Bai Zihua did not hesitate at all, speaking coldly from high above, "This Venerable is the Changliu Immortal of the Immortal World, Bai Zihua. Where is the Mount Shu Sect Leader, Hua Qiangu?"

The powerful pressure from Bai Zihua's body weighed upon the entire Mount Shu, allowing all the Disciples of Mount Shu to feel it.
