[END] Will Eternal

Chapter 361: Only One?

Many disciples appeared to watch Bai Xiaochun ascend to River Defiance Mountain. Everyone knew why the other three Central Reaching sects came last month, and it made them smolder. They also knew that Bai Xiaochun would represent the River Suppression Sect in a fight within the mysterious pouch realm!

As news spread that the only person in the entire sect qualified to leave was Bai Xiaochun, many cultivators started to worry.

The River Antidote Sect was a newcomer in the Middle Reach, who was unfamiliar with the cultivation world there because they did not know him.

In this unknown environment, the River Antidote Sect seemed impressive, but the truth was that until they produced the Deva God experts, they were in a very dangerous position, and could easily be replaced.

The feeling of uneasiness and danger lurking in the hearts of not only ordinary disciples, but even patriarchs. Fortunately, they had the Blood Ancestor and the Skybanyan Dire, as well as a shocking true spirit that even the other three great sects were nervous about.

That was the only thing that gave the River Suppression Sect a little stability.

Bai Xiaochun realized all that. Therefore, despite the fact that he did not really want to go to the mysterious pouch realm, and despite the ferocity he witnessed among the disciples of the three sects, he was not, he had chosen to go along with the arrangements. Gritting his teeth and trembling in fear, he led Bruiser slowly to the top of the mountain.

Waiting there for him were Lord Godwind, Frigidsect, and Crimsonsoul. The three deceased Soul Master Daoist Nascent would escort him to the mysterious pocket world.

Everyone watched silently as Bai Xiaochun walked to the top of the mountain. Ghostfang emerged from his immortal cave, a dazed look in his eyes as he recalled the time he fought Bai Xiaochun back at the Spirit Stream Sect.

It was the first time he had lost to someone in the same generation as him, and although he did not seem to be affected in any way, it aroused in him a strong desire to surpass Bai Xiaochun.

However, at some point, he realized that Bai Xiaochun's progress was almost unbelievable. He was already so far ahead that it was almost impossible to catch up.

Then there was Song Que, who was standing on one of the mountains in the Blood Flow Division, hands clenched tightly into fists. He thought about the Fallen Sword World, the Establishment of the Heaven-Dao Foundation, and everything that happened after that. In his eyes burned the flames of defiance!

"I will definitely surpass you one day!"

As for the other blood masters and top Chosen in the Blood Flow Division, they were all equally restless. While they were worried about their sect, they also could not help but compare themselves to Bai Xiaochun. The fact that none of them were qualified to enter the mysterious pocket realm was exhausting for all of them.

Zhou Xinqi had difficulty controlling her breathing, and the Nine-Island's eyes were completely red. Master God-Diviner and Jia Lie were both restless. In the past, there was one Chosen Charm who was currently stuck in the bottleneck of the cultivation base. It was Lu Tianlei, who spent most of his time alone, refusing to go out. However, at this moment, he chose to come out of the immortal cave and stared at the figure that ascended River Defiance Mountain.

Chen Manyao appeared, as did Gongsun Wan’er. Gongsun Wan’er's expression was the same as before, her lips constantly turning into a faint smile. However, compared to everyone just mentioned, the person with the most complicated emotions of all was teetering on the verge of insanity: Shangguan Tianyou!

He stood straight and straight, his face as handsome as ever. He did not even have the desire to see Bai Xiaochun, and therefore refused to emerge from his immortality cave. Although he could not see Bai Xiaochun, his heart felt like it had been bitten by the most poisonous snake, and the pain he felt was hard to express.

Red eyes and fists clenched, he said, "You're just a cheap bastard with no parents and no education. I am Shangguan Tianyou! I will definitely crush you under my feet! ”

Although there were people who were jealous or angry, there were others who sent Bai Xiaochun away with blessings and good wishes. Big Fatty Zhang, Hou Yunfei, Xu Baocai, Third Fatty Hei, and Li Qinghou were all present. Hou Xiaomei and Song Junwan were also there, wishing he was fine, but at the same time, very nervous.

Countless eyes were on Bai Xiaochun as he climbed the mountain. Immediately, he was at the same altar where the Bruiser had reached the Core Formation.

That was where the three patriarchs were waiting for him. As soon as they looked up and saw his appearance, their jaws dropped, and they swapped awkwardly. Finally, Frigidsect coughed dryly and then waved his hand.

Instantly, a streak of silver light descended from the sky above. It was the Heavenhorn Sword, which began to grow bigger and bigger up to 3,000 meters long!

"Alright, Xiaochun, it's time to go!" she said. With that, he blurred his move, shooting towards the Heavenhorn Sword. Crimsonsoul and Master Godwind joined him, and in a few moments, they were on the sword, where they sat cross-legged in succession. Bai Xiaochun gritted his teeth and flew over to join them. Behind him, Bruiser threw his head back and roared as he followed.

"Let's go!" Frigidsect said, his voice blaring like lightning. The Heavenhorn Sword began to shine with a dazzling silver light, and then a rumble echoed as it shot out with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared, leaving nothing but a rolling sonic boom and a long streak of silver light.

Only after Bai Xiaochun left did people start talking again in the River Suppression Sect. Nine-Isles, Song Que, Ghostfang, and the other Chosen Ones as they all returned to secluded meditation, their eyes filled with determination to advance. They all vowed to reach the Core Formation as quickly as possible.

Even Big Fatty Zhang gritted his teeth and went into secluded meditation.

Almost everyone in the same generation as Bai Xiaochun did the same.

**

The cultivation world of the Middle Reach was so huge that it could not really be described as being divided into continents. Instead, the word ‘domain’ is used. As for the realm occupied by the River Opposing Sect, its name had recently been changed from Sky Domain to Defiance Domain.

As for the mysterious pocket realm, it was located far away from the Defiance Domain in the Dao Domain, next to a seemingly endless wasteland. Because the desert was so far away from the Heavenspan River, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was somewhat dim there.

It was in that rare region of spiritual energy that the mysterious sac realm existed, and regardless of its remote location, it could not be judged as a place that lacked good fortune.

There was a temple in that desert, an extreme ancient place that had existed for longer than anyone could remember. This was the location where legacy seals existed, as well as the entrance to the mysterious pocket world!

Surrounding the temple are more than a hundred stones sticking out of the desert sand, each more than 300 meters high.

The stones looked very strange, and at first glance they seemed to have been randomly distributed around the temple. However, a closer examination will reveal that they have been placed in a special pattern that changes the state of heaven and earth in the area. To his surprise, those stones were powerful spell formations!

Powerful fluctuations were launched from the spell formation that even Nascent Soul cultivators would suspect. Clearly, the only person who could possibly place such a spell formation was a god!

The power of the Starry River Court and the Polarity River Court could already be seen sitting cross-legged in meditation on the rock. Each of the two sects had more than twenty cultivators who had not lived for a full sixty-year cycle. There were men and women, all with calm expressions. However, no one hid a solitary arrogance in their eyes; they were all chosen in their sects.

The truth is that they have a right to be proud. A quick glance at one of them would reveal how different they were from ordinary cultivators.

The two sects had spent a lot of resources to raise these Chosen Ones, which were seeds that would grow into the pillars of their respective organizations. One of them was Chen Yunshan.

The two sects were sitting apart from each other, and their auras were clearly different. As for the Starry River Court, their cultivators were surrounded by a gloomy light that almost looked like countless stars, pulsing with a profound aura.

In contrast to them was the Election of the Polarity River Court. They had an evil aura, assassins, and gazes that seemed to be able to penetrate into the hearts and minds of their opponents. They looked like people who were killing by dropping hats, and were surrounded by a seething black fog. It was almost impossible to see the outline of the evil spirits within that fog, pacing back and forth.

The energy exhibited here was something that no sect in the Lower Reaches cultivation world possessed. Only the great sects of the Middle Reach could display like this!

As the strength of the two sects sat there waiting, the cultivators began to look up at the sky as they sensed a certain fluctuation in the distance.

A moment later, a streak of silver light appeared in the distance, which was the Heavenhorn Sword. As it pierced through the air, a tenfold spirit enhancement power propagated in all directions. Clearly, the River-Defying Sect was trying to put on a good show. In the blink of an eye, the sword approached the spell formation, allowing the cultivators of the Starry River Court and Polarity to see a figure on it.

Ignoring the three patriarchs, their gazes came to rest on Bai Xiaochun.

It was hard to tell who among the two sects said that, but the shock and ridicule in that person's voice couldn't be more obvious. "Just one person?!"
