Chapter 211
Who is he? Peak Master Dieyun thought.
Li Su noticed that Peak Master Dieyun had observed him and beca aware of his presence, and she had halted her advance. At the sa ti, Peak Master Dieyun was curious about Li Su’s identity. Li Su appeared to be at the Nascent Soul stage, and the fact that a Nascent Soul cultivator could detect his presence was remarkable.
As one of the three peak masters of the Returning Origin Sect, she was one of the three most powerful individuals within the sect, aside from the sect leader. However, Li Su’s ability to sense her presence from a considerable distance away, even when concealed, was impressive.
Peak Master Dieyun hadn’t realized that this Nascent Soul cultivator was the sa Li Su she had heard about in Central China. She couldn’t help but wonder, “Could it be… is he that Li Su?”
Soon, Peak Master Dieyun sensed another presence belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator, which was remarkably close to her. She was certain that this was the source of the unusual fluctuation, which ca from another Nascent Soul cultivator.
It’s her! Peak Master Dieyun saw Sect Leader Shangguan Xue and felt confused. She wondered why another Nascent Soul cultivator had suddenly appeared and how it was possible for this Nascent Soul cultivator to be at the Foundation Establishnt stage. Did this an she had Immortal Spirit Roots? This raised the question of who the “Li Su” was that she had heard about. Could it be the Nascent Soul cultivator standing nearby who had sensed her arrival?
Peak Master Dieyun deduced that the Immortal Spirit Root female cultivator in the process of Foundation Establishnt likely ca from another region, possibly a Sacred Ground. She might have achieved a breakthrough in Nascent Soul while traveling and establishing her Foundation in the Northern Territories. The Nascent Soul cultivator guarding her might also be from the sa Sacred Ground, serving as her protector.
Peak Master Dieyun felt it was the most logical explanation, even though she had a faint feeling that this protector’s strength was sowhat astonishing. In Sacred Grounds, top-tier talents often have powerful protectors to safeguard them.
Unfortunately, it would have been better if it were a cultivator from the Northern Territories. Peak Master Dieyun planned to observe the circumstances of these two disciples from the Sacred Grounds and gather information about Li Su.
She remained within Li Su’s perception range, neither advancing nor retreating, indicating that she had been passively drawn here to assess the situation and had no ill intentions.
At that mont, Peak Master Dieyun noticed the arrival of another person in the area, even though there was nothing to be seen. She was certain that soone was concealed there.
“Friend, since we’ve both sensed each other and been noticed by that Nascent Soul cultivator, there’s no need to hide any longer, is there?” A figure erged, and upon closer inspection, Peak Master Dieyun recognized the person as the sect leader of the Tianluo Sect, a Second-Rank Immortal Sect in the Eastern Region, slightly less powerful than herself.
In most Immortal Sects, the sect leader was typically the strongest.
However, there were so exceptions, with a few Immortal Sects having more powerful individuals operating behind the scenes. This was especially true for so Sacred Grounds, which possessed profound foundations.
After the other person spoke, Peak Master Dieyun revealed her form.
“So, it’s Peak Master Dieyun. I didn’t expect that Peak Master Dieyun would personally co. It’s a pity, it’s a pity. These two individuals are highly likely to be from a Sacred Ground,” the Tianluo Sect Leader said.
He had made a similar deduction because Li Su had also sensed his presence.
After the Tianluo Sect Leader noticed the extraordinary strength of Li Su’s divine sense, he also saw the sect leader in the process of Foundation Establishnt. It was challenging not to make a similar inference. Naturally, this made him feel a sense of regret.
His Immortal Sect was a prominent entity in the Eastern Region, and countless cultivators in the Eastern Region aspired to join it.
However, the appeal for disciples from Sacred Grounds was quite low. Not to ntion his Immortal Sect, even the Returning Origin Sect, which was very close to being a Sacred Ground, had limited attraction for disciples from Sacred Grounds.
While a First-Rank Immortal Sect might be considered close to a Sacred Ground, how could it compare to a genuine Sacred Ground?
When a disciple from a Sacred Ground ventured outside, most Immortal Sects preferred not to provoke them, except for so audacious demonic cultivators. These disciples often possessed rare life-saving cards.
Sacred Ground disciples at the Nascent Soul stage and above even had items like “Soul Lamps” in the Sacred Grounds. If soone killed a Sacred Ground disciple, it was challenging to do it without alerting anyone.
As long as the Sacred Ground was willing to pay the price, finding the person who killed a Sacred Ground disciple was not too difficult. Of course, there were cases in the past where Sacred Ground disciples were killed without consequences.
Even a Sacred Ground had limitations. However, those who dared to lay hands on Sacred Ground disciples were few and far between. Coupled with the various benefits offered by the Sacred Grounds, they held imnse allure for cultivators.
Peak Master Dieyun gazed from a distance at Mangkang Mountain and did not respond to the other person.
