Chapter 888: Chapter 889: Our Old Nest Has Been Uprooted

“Easy to say, easy to say.”
Li Xiaobai laughed heartily. He was not afraid of any newcomers, no matter their purpose, and he accepted all the gifts they brought with them.
As for those who came seeking favors, he let their requests go in one ear and out the other, not taking them to heart at all. He might take the money, but he wouldn’t do the tasks.
The Sword Sect disciples looked on enviously at the twinkling stars of the Second Peak. Brother Li truly was a genius. In no time after joining, he leaped from a nobody to become the Peak Master of the Second Peak, and he even rebuilt it, clearly on track to make it the strongest peak in the Sword Sect.
“Damn it, you nearly scared me to death, and that Sect Master too, stirring up such a fuss without any warning, my little heart is still pounding fiercely.”
The old beggar appeared out of nowhere, patting his chest with a mournful look in his eyes, which gave Li Xiaobai the creeps.
“Elder, mind your image.”
Li Xiaobai strolled around the Second Peak. Countless disciples from within the sect swarmed over, sharpening their heads to get into the Second Peak. A mountain surrounded by stars was simply too impressive, not to mention the treasures like Huazi and the bathhouse.
“Chen Yuan, Li Chen, take good care of the Second Peak. Don’t let the disciples stir up strife.”
Li Xiaobai spoke to the two stewards.
“Don’t worry, Brother Li. We’ve already planned it out. From now on, whoever enters the Second Peak, their first stop must be to punch in at the latrines, to labor and contemplate life. Struggling together in the manure pit invisibly cultivates profound friendships. It’s quite necessary for the steady development of the Second Peak.”
Chen Yuan and Li Chen stood tall and straight. The changes in the Second Peak allowed them to finally breathe easy and elevate their status. Just a moment ago, there were disciples and Elders trying to bribe them for favors. And all this was thanks to Brother Li’s cultivation!
“Good, I feel much more at ease with the two of you looking after the Second Peak. Everything on the mountain is open to you. Take whatever you need from now on.”
Li Xiaobai nodded. The two had been instrumental in managing the Second Peak in an orderly manner.
“Thank you, Brother Li!”
The two were visibly moved, full of gratitude. They were finally recognized by a master. The Second Peak of the Sword Sect was their blessed land!
In a corner, a group of Human Immortal Ranking List prodigies huddled together, whispering.
“Sister Meng Yao, what kind of person is this Sect Master of the Sword Sect? The power he showed just now is fearsome. He might have surpassed the Half-Saint Realm, having casually created a space. I’ve heard that’s an ability exclusive to those in the Saint Realm.”
“Yes, and to reconstruct an entire mountain out of thin air, refining it with the power of the stars. That peak is almost on par with a Magic Treasure!”
A few cultivators trembled, their eyes filled with horror.
“No, he probably hasn’t reached the Saint Realm yet. Cultivators in the Saint Realm are on the same level as our Sect Masters—it’s not so easy to break through. Creating space isn’t a big deal; the true hallmark of the Saint Realm is integrating oneself with space. But from his recent actions, it seems his strength may have already surpassed the Half-Saint Realm, and he’s just a step away from the Saint Realm.”
Wu Mengyao spoke solemnly, feeling the pressure from the existence of the Sword Sect. Not only did they have an extraordinary genius like Li Xiaobai, but they also had formidable powers like Ying Diao and Xiao Lao Di. Is the Eastern Continent rising?
“Looking at it now, the Sword Sect indeed has more potential. Our cultivation levels have been advancing by leaps and bounds within the sect, hardly inferior to a Super Sect.”
“Speaking of which, are we still going back?”
“Go back my ass. Our sect doesn’t have Huazi or a bathhouse. Here in the Sword Sect, you can grow stronger just by lying down, and there’s much less scheming and deceit compared to the Super Sects. It’s countless times better.”
…
At the top of the mountain, Li Xiaobai slowly entered the spatial portal. Ying Diao had opened up a vast space here, where three city-states and many sect forces had taken up residence, and the terrain and surroundings were identical to those of the previous three dynasties, with no noticeable differences.
“This nurturing indeed enhances the cultivators’ sense of belonging and avoids feelings of being visitors in a strange land.”
“`
Li Xiaobai nodded, took out the Jade Gourd, and gently tapped it to release the captured cultivators all at once.
The verdant light flourished, and hundreds of thousands of cultivators appeared all together in this moment. The previously empty city and countryside suddenly became densely packed with cultivators, bustling with activity everywhere one looked, causing a dizzying spectacle.
“Where are we?”
“Are we still within the dynasty?”
“I remember being captured by that Sword Sect’s Li Xiaobai, why am I suddenly back home now?”
“Yeah, weren’t we all bound by him? How come we are back? Could it be that some powerful senior acted with valor, slaying that demon head and restoring our freedom?”
“It’s quite possible! If that’s true, it would be incredibly satisfying!”
The cultivators looked around, their faces a mixture of confusion and excitement as they engaged in animated conversations, somewhat unclear about the current situation.
“Look up there on the mountaintop!”
“It’s that Li Xiaobai, he’s the one who released us!”
A sharp-eyed cultivator suddenly pointed towards the mountaintop, where a young man cradling a sword and standing on a golden chariot looked down at them indifferently. Without question, he was the one who had set them free.
“Why would he release us, what could he possibly be planning?”
The cultivators were restless and uneasy.
Atop the mountain, Li Xiaobai spoke up, “From today forward, there will be no more Three Great Dynasties. Our Sect Master is benevolent, and on the Second Peak of the Sword Sect, a small spatial realm has been opened up for all of you to cultivate in. Within this small realm, you are free to govern and distribute as you see fit, without interference from the Sword Sect. However, each month you must tribute one million top-grade Immortal Stones to the Second Peak. Remember this well.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.
What had they heard?
There were no more Three Great Dynasties, and their current location was a small realm created by the Sect Master of the Sword Sect?
“Impossible, this is one of the Three Great Dynasties, Yan City is right here. Everything is consistent with the scenes within the dynasty, how could it be some small realm? Don’t deceive us!”
Yan Nian, the City Lord of the Great Flame Dynasty, vehemently exclaimed.
“Indeed, our three main cities are here, and the surrounding mountains and landscapes have not changed. I’ve lived here for dozens of years; how can this be a small realm?”
Several older experts shared the sentiment.
“The Sword Sect has moved the Three Great Dynasties into this Secret Realm so that all of you can live more comfortably. The entrance is over here. If you do not believe, you are free to explore for yourselves.”
“Once outside, you will find the Second Peak, whose resources are likewise open to you. I hope you will make the best use of this and steadily develop as a part of the Sword Sect!”
After dropping these words, Li Xiaobai turned and left.
He left behind many cultivators with bewildered faces.
“Is what he said true?”
“It seems to be true, look at the sky, there’s no sun.”
“Damn, our lair has been completely uprooted!”
