Chapter 484: Half-Immortal?

Moving time forward a bit.

"So this is the Congwendao Sect, how spectacular."

Mingtai stood in front of the Congwendao Sect's mountain gate, sighing with emotion.

"Mingtai, let's go." Elder Sikong urged him to keep up.

The two passed through the bamboo forest, crossed the stream, and entered the core location of the Congwendao Sect, the main venue for this celebration.

The River Spirit poked its head out, examining everyone entering the Congwendao Sect, determining whether they were qualified to enter the Congwendao Sect.

"This celebration is livelier than previous years." Watching the heaven-chosen and great experts file in, the River Spirit muttered softly, showing a satisfied smile.

It was the spirit of the stream, blessed by heaven and earth, producing a point of spiritual light, and then enlightened by the Innate Daoist, giving birth to true spiritual wisdom. Feeling the grace of the Innate Daoist, it voluntarily became the sect's guardian spirit, witnessing the rise and fall of the Congwendao Sect.

What the River Spirit didn't notice was that along with Mingtai and his companion entering the Congwendao Sect, there was also a group of uninvited guests.

They shuttled through the bamboo forest, silently, without any traces to follow, as if they didn't exist, and no one noticed their existence.

"I heard long ago that the Congwendao Sect has a sect guardian spirit with powerful strength. Seeing it today, it is indeed so. It's a pity you met me this time." The State Preceptor sneered, bypassed the River Spirit, and led everyone into the Congwendao Sect.

Entering the core location of the Congwendao Sect, the State Preceptor removed his disguise. There were too many cultivators here; even if they couldn't see them, they could bump into them. Continuing to hide would be disadvantageous to them.

Along the way, the State Preceptor saw several Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators, thinking to himself that it was fortunate he brought enough people; otherwise, relying on him alone, it would really not be easy to destroy the Congwendao Sect.

"My lord, when shall we make a move?" Venerable Black and White asked quietly via spiritual sense.

"No rush. The celebration has just begun, which is when the Congwendao Sect's defense is at its strictest. First, investigate clearly, figure out exactly how many Integration stage and Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators are participating in this celebration, calculate the strength gap between the two sides, and then decide when to make a move and when to make a move."

"According to the immortal sect standard, every immortal sect has at least one Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator and a means comparable to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. The Congwendao Sect couldn't possibly use all its combat power on this celebration. Important places like the sect treasury must have people guarding them."

"The River Spirit just now should be the means comparable to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. The Congwendao Sect's true Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators should be in other places. When the time comes, make a move quickly, and the Congwendao Sect's Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators won't be able to react. Even if they can rush over, it will be too late."

*Clang—Clang—Clang—*

The bell rang in the Congwendao Sect, totaling twelve sounds, meaning the celebration had officially begun.

The group fell silent. They saw the target of their trip step by step climb the altar to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

"What an ancient sacrificial method, it seems to originate from ancient times." The State Preceptor was slightly surprised. They were cultivators from the early Great Yu period, separated from the ancient period by only one Great Qian Dynasty.

The Congwendao Sect was established in the late Great Yu period, yet they mastered such an ancient sacrificial method.

"This Congwendao Sect really has something." Venerable Black and White commented lightly. Among the group, his status was second only to the State Preceptor.

An ancient sacrificial method couldn't explain the problem; it was not impossible to flip it out of some ancient book.

After all, so far, there were still many ancient ruins that hadn't been fully excavated.

"An ordinary kid, actually destroying Great Yu's plans time and time again, really doesn't know how to write the word 'death'!"

The celebration ended, the State Preceptor's brows relaxed, and a smile hooked at the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, you are..."

The State Preceptor analyzed for everyone: "Haven't you noticed? Compared to the celebration sacrifice, the number of high-level cultivators here is decreasing. It seems I overestimated the Congwendao Sect's position in Great Xia."

"These high-level cultivators should be participating in the celebration sacrifice out of face, and after the sacrifice, the various activities prepared by the Congwendao Sect, as well as the young cultivators' finals, cannot arouse their interest, which is why they left."

Everyone showed an excited expression. The decrease in the number of high-level cultivators meant their actions would be unimpeded, and the pressure would be suddenly reduced.

"Sure enough, destiny is with Great Yu." The State Preceptor's mouth turned up, his mood pleasant. In this way, the Congwendao Sect would definitely be destroyed.

"However, we must not be careless at the moment. It is not convenient to use spiritual sense here. You disperse and look around, collect information on the Congwendao Sect, and then come to me to summarize."

The State Preceptor pointed to his feet: "I'll wait for you here."

"Yes."

The group dispersed, leaving only the State Preceptor in place.

"They shouldn't be able to return for a while, so I'll go collect information on the Congwendao Sect too."

The State Preceptor was cautious in his actions; he wanted to verify the information collected by his subordinates with the information he collected, so as to ensure the reliability of the information.

"The most prosperous place here should be the passing commercial street, go there and take a look." The State Preceptor paced toward the commercial street.

"A small commercial street actually hides many Integration stage cultivators." The State Preceptor narrowed his eyes. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he saw at a glance that those seemingly ordinary restaurant owners and waiters were all incredible great experts who could dominate and be kings in the outside world.

"Relying on Integration stage cultivators alone, they can't stir up waves."

He alone could kill six Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators, although they were all early-stage Tribulation Transcendence, it was still remarkable. He didn't take Integration stage cultivators seriously.

"Guest, do you want to come and eat barbecue?" The three seductive ghosts, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi, were soliciting customers at the entrance of the barbecue shop, doing their best and attracting attention.

The barbecue shop's business was booming. Master Liu and Master Gao displayed three heads and six arms, starting work at the same time, and the efficiency of barbecue was significantly improved.

"Make way, make way, I'm here to deliver meat." The slaughterhouse owner who delivered meat asked the guests to make way so he could go in.

The barbecue shop's business was too good; even though they had expected it, the many meat skewers prepared were not enough.

The Decayed Immortal crossed his legs, watching all this happily, laughing from ear to ear.

The sales of this day could top ten days.

The name of the barbecue shop was temporarily changed by Lu Yang; otherwise, if outside cultivators ate barbecue, remembered the name of the barbecue shop, and then promoted it outside, the Jiuyou Sect would discover that the Congwendao Sect also had a "Come Again Barbecue Shop," and it would be difficult to fool the Jiuyou Sect then.

The State Preceptor heard Xiao Wu's shouting, looked up, and then saw the two barbecue masters and the slaughterhouse owner, feeling shocked in his heart.

"Three Integration stage vengeful ghosts? The Congwendao Sect's Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator is here?"

Only a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator could refine Integration stage vengeful ghosts.

Generally speaking, the distance between the vengeful ghost and the refiner of the vengeful ghost would not be too far. The Congwendao Sect's Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator was hiding in this barbecue shop.

"Not bad luck." The State Preceptor laughed, his smile full of confidence.

He had intended to investigate the situation first, not expecting to be able to solve a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator in advance.

His embryonic Dao fruit was related to concealment, which was why he could deceive the River Spirit comparable to the Tribulation Transcendence stage and lead everyone into the Congwendao Sect.

His embryonic Dao fruit could ensure that he silently solved the Congwendao Sect's Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator.

He walked into the barbecue shop and saw the leisurely Decayed Immortal.

The Decayed Immortal also saw him.

"Half-Immortal?"

The two spoke in unison.

The second update is at eleven o'clock. ===== CHAPTER 485 =====
