The fact that even Black Puppy said it could not defeat the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect made Qingfeng Li worried.
Slightly frowning, Qingfeng Li couldn’t help but ask Sky-Devouring Snake the same question. Unsurprisingly, Sky-Devouring Snake told him that it was no match for the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect either.
It was then that Qingfeng Li finally realized the invincible strength of the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect. Among all those who had shown up so far, this Sect Master was definitely the strongest. The fact that he was able to ride and navigate an aeroboat was an obvious indicator.
We welcome the arrival of the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect,
Qixuan Zhenren said to the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect, who was still in the air.
Even Qixuan Zhenren showed his courtesy towards an overlord like the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect, and he was someone that had his heritage traced back to the ancient era.
The Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect smiled cooly and closed up the aeroboat before jumping onto the front of the plaza with those elders and disciples behind him.
Naturally, all the self-cultivators in the surrounding area stepped back and gave way to the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect.
They held great fear and respect for an invincible sect like the Five-Elements Sect. No one dared to show any gesture of disrespect.
Except for the western self-cultivators. Western self-cultivators paid no mind to eastern self-cultivators. Their goals were to seize the eastern spiritual treasures and cultivation techniques, and to slaughter Eastern self-cultivators.
The Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect looked to Qixuan Zhenren and reminded,
Zhenren, it’s about time for the competition to begin.
Qixuan Zhenren smiled faintly as he replied,
Please wait, we’re still awaiting the arrival of a few more people.
Qixuan Zhenren’s words brought a hint of astonishment to the eyes of the Sect Master of the Five-Elements Sect. He couldn’t help but wonder who these big shots could be that they were arriving even later than him.
Rumble!
At this time, an uproarious noise came from faraway in the sky. A massive waterfall was flying along the sky towards the plaza.
Generally, water was seen on the ground or within the oceans, but rarely in the sky. Yet, now there was a waterfall in the air and a water bridge was forming out of it.
All the self-cultivators witnessing this scene were shocked beyond belief. Their faces looked totally stunned as if they had just encountered a ghost.
Qingfeng Li was completely shocked as well. He had entered the world of self-cultivators for a year now, and this was the first time he saw water appearing in the middle of the sky.
Watching the waterfall and the water bridge, Qixuan Zhenren bursted out laughing and said,
Old Monster Lishui, finally! You surely took your time.
Hahahaha! Qixuan Zhenren, it’s been a long time. Hope all is well.
A loud laugh came from faraway. The sound had the might to shock the world, and the laugh could be heard by everyone at the Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
Along with his voice, a white-haired elder walked towards the crowd.
His two legs were steady on the water bridge, as if they were just walking on land. Moreover, they were advancing at great speed. With one step, he had advanced almost fifty meters forward.
He was an elderly man who was over two hundred years old. His hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles. His wrinkles seemed like a sign of the vicissitudes he had experienced in his life, yet, his eyes emitted great power and strength. Vague ripples were seen twirling in his eyes, giving off the power of water.
Old Monster Lishui!? It can’t be that legendary Old Monster Lishui, can it?!
Old Monster Lishui is a contemporary of Qixuan Zhenren. He had dominated the world of self-cultivators two hundred years ago – he was unstoppable.
Who would have thought a mighty powerhouse like Old Monster Lishui from two hundred years ago would show up at the competition for the alliance chief of the Eastern self-cultivators…
The crowd of self-cultivators were in awe and disbelief as they chattered among themselves.
Standing where he was, Qingfeng Li naturally heard all the chatters from the other self-cultivators. He was beyond dumbfounded to find that the elderly was the legendary Old Monster Lishui.
In the world of self-cultivators, everyone had heard of Old Monster Lishui. Two hundred years ago, like Qixuan Zhenren, he dominated the world of self-cultivators and was known as one of the top-notch masters.
About a hundred years ago, the devilish forces and the unorthodox forces were both working to demolish the orthodox forces. Old Monster Lishui and Qixuan Zhenren had made an appearance then. Together, they suppressed the devilish forces with their invincible powers.
After that, Old Monster Lishui found a gigantic but clandestine underwater river to reside and -cultivate in. He had not appeared in the world of self-cultivators since then. It was to everyone’s surprise that he had come to the competition for alliance chief of the World of Self-cultivators.
What worried Qingfeng Li the most was that Old Monster Lishui might have come to compete for Chief, too. If he had to compete against a master like Old Monster Lishui, his chance of succeeding would significantly decrease. His frown grew even bigger as he became worried.
Unfortunately, things started to unfold the way Qingfeng Li had feared it would.
Qixuan Zhenren asked as he looked to Old Monster Lishui,
So old brother, what are you here for? Don’t tell me you are here to compete for the position of Chief as well?
Old Monster Lishui smiled gently and nodded,
Yes, I am indeed here to compete for the position. From what I heard, all self-cultivators are eligible to compete. Am I wrong?
All the self-cultivators rolled their eyes at Old Monster Lishui’s remark.
Unlike Old Monster Lishui, who was already over two hundred years old, most of the competitors were in their youth, and even the older ones were still only in their midlife. The self-cultivators thought it was unfair that they had to compete against Old Monster Lishui.
However, the rules did state that all self-cultivators in Huaxia were eligible to participate in the competition. Therefore, even though the crowd was irritated, no one dared to voice their annoyance and questions.
Old Monster Lishui’s words gave Qixuan Zhenren a frown, his eyes filled with doubts and confusion.
Though the two were good friends, Qixuan Zhenren also thought that it was not as appropriate for Old Monster Lishui to compete for Chief of the World of Self-cultivators.
Using a voice transmission, Qixuan Zhenren asked,
Old brother, you are now more than two hundred years old and are at the Ninth Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm. Soon, you will reach the Spirit Supreme Realm. Why would you bother competing for alliance chief?
Old Monster Lishui started a voice transmission as well,
Old brother, you can’t compete because you are the host of this year’s competition. But you should know that I don’t have many years left, and if I want to prolong my life, I have to find a way to get to those high-tier planets.
If I could become Chief of the World of Self-cultivators, I would be able to enter the ancient forbidden district and activate the transmission array. With this way of accessing other planets, I can obtain spirit herbs that could help prolong my life.
After hearing Old Monster Lishui’s reply, Qixuan Zhenren ended the conversation understandingly. Qixuan Zhenren felt that life was beyond all else, so it was understandable that Old Monster Lishui wanted to enter the competition for the sake of prolonging his own life.
The voice transmissions between Qixuan Zhenren and Old Monster Lishui was only audible to the two, all the other self-cultivators had no idea about their communication.
Looking at Qixuan Zhenren and Old Monster Lishui, Qingfeng Li was in awe at the power of these two senior figures in the world of self-cultivators. They both were emitting shockingly powerful aura that could take over the world.
