Chapter 98: Endless Sky Holy Land
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A heaven’s favorite.
Someone who was considered the strongest among the younger generation of the sect!
Just the name of a prodigy was enough to suppress countless people of the same generation.
To be able to be called a prodigy in the sect, that was indeed extraordinary.
Of course, the most important thing was that this heaven’s favorite from the
Endless Sky Holy Land was even more talented than Chen Qingke.
Hearing Lu Lan’s words, even Chen Qingke grew curious.
“The Endless Sky Holy Land actually has such a person?”
“If I can meet a person such as that this time, I really need to have a good spar with them!”
Chen Qingke’s face was filled with excitement. It looked like she was really eager to see how she would compare to such a person.
They were both regarded as prodigies, so the competitive spirit she felt was naturally greater.
In fact, it was the same for Li Ming.
Chen Qingke’s talent was already very outstanding, and now it seemed that there was an even more talented guy in the Endless Sky Holy Land.
This naturally piqued Li Ming’s interest.
How much difference was there between him and the so-called heaven’s favorites?
It would obviously be exciting to compete with those who were considered the strongest in their generation!
Ever since he stepped into the golden core realm, Li Ming seemed to have become even more obsessed with the feeling of cultivation. He believed that on the path of cultivation, one could not just bury their head in bitter cultivation. More importantly, one had to seek out and face challenges in order to make further progress!
This was especially true for him, who cultivated both his body and qi. He needed more battles and more opponents to test his abilities and to sharpen his own path!
He deemed this inevitable.
Three days later, the group finally arrived at the border between the Heavenly Southern Region and the Heavenly Northern Region.
The border area was a mountain range, the Sunset Mountain Range.
Li Ming and his group arrived at the mine in the Sunset Mountain Range that belonged to both the Divine Will Sect and the Endless Sky Holy Land. The mineral vein that mainly composed this mine could even produce mid-grade spirit stones, which would be of great help to cultivators.
At the same time, it was also one of the two sects’ foundations. It could provide them with a large number of spirit stones to ensure the growth of their sects.
“This place has always been filled with demons.”
“It is just that they did not dare to provoke the two sects in the past. They must think that due to the approaching sect competition, the two sects do not have the spare resources or attention to keep hold of this mine.” As Lu Lan spoke, the group finally saw the location of the mine.
However, the mine was surrounded by demons!
There were many of them. Moreover, there were quite a few foundation establishment demons!
“Fellow daoists of the Divine Will Sect, you have come quite quickly.”
While Li Ming was in the middle of deciding what to do, a clear voice sounded from behind him. He turned around and saw a group of youths dressed in a single style of clothes walking over.
The leader of the group was a young man with a delicate face and a calm expression.
It was obvious that these people were disciples of the Endless Sky Holy Land.
“Everyone, I am a disciple of the Endless Sky Holy Land and the leader of this mission.”
“Qin Siyue, perfected level of the foundation establishment realm.”
“Please guide me.”
The young leader, Qin Siyue, had a refined attitude. He spoke with a warm and intimate tone, making it difficult for those who heard him to be annoyed with him.
After all, this was a place shared by both sects, so they were on the same side.
In addition, although many sects in the Heavenly Northern Region were not on good terms with the Divine Will Sect, the Endless Sky Holy Land was one of the few neutral parties.
Naturally, they would not attack them out of nowhere.
Listening to the other party’s introduction, Li Ming also stepped forward and faced him with a smile. “I’m Li Ming, a consecrated elder of the Divine Will Sect and the leader of this mission.
“I am at the early golden core realm.”
When Li Ming introduced himself, the Endless Sky Holy Land disciples were stunned.
A consecrated elder?
Early golden core realm?
They looked at Li Ming, who appeared to be of the same age as them, shocked to discover that he had already reached the golden core real!
It appeared to them that the Divine Will Sect did indeed have an impressive foundation!
They had thought that Chen Qingke of the Divine Will Sect was already a genius for reaching the perfected foundation establishment realm in just over a year.
However, they did not expect that there was another prodigy hiding in the Divine Will Sect!
“I did not expect Consecrated Elder Li to have already reached the golden core realm at such a young age.”
“Then it appears that we will have to rely on you for this mission.”
Qin Siyue maintained a humble attitude, but Li Ming did not completely buy it.
“Fellow daoist, you’re too kind.”
“There’s no need to address me as a consecrated elder. I’ve been in seclusion all year round and do not know much about the outside world.”
“Since our two sects are working together, it’s better to cooperate with each other.”
“Right now, what we need to do is to drive these demons out and ensure the safety of the mine.”
Li Ming spoke without pause, and the other party nodded.
With the sect competition just around the corner, these were troubled times.
The most important thing to do right now was to resolve this matter as soon as possible and return to the sect.
“Since that’s the case, let’s move.”
“Let’s end this quickly.”
“There are usually foundation establishment demons here.”
Not to mention for demons, golden core cultivators were rare even among all the cultivators in the Eastern Continent.
Cultivation for demons was complicated and difficult. The difficulty they faced
in increasing their cultivation was several times that of human cultivators.Those who had reached the golden core realm had a high status among them.
Both sides agreed.
They would immediately launch an attack!
Although there were many demons here, there were many of them as well. Moreover, the lowest cultivation level among them was at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.
It should be simple for them to emerge victorious.
As soon as they got close enough, the disciples of both sects displayed their own respective abilities!
The Divine Will Sect’s specialty was undoubtedly the Cauldron Transformation Art. Bronze cauldrons appeared one after another, causing great damage to the demons.
In comparison, the Endless Sky Holy Land was not any worse.
They were skilled in sword techniques, so they brought out all kinds of flying swords and sword arts!
Moreover, their lethality was particularly powerful!
Qin Siyue, who was the leader of his group, dished out the fiercest attacks. While he spoke like a gentleman and appeared as gentle as jade, when he fought, he was like a god of war. He attacked ruthlessly and mercilessly!
The battle was intense, and the two sects had the advantage. They quickly eliminated most of the demons.
Li Ming relied on the strength of his physical body and did not need to use any magical arts at all. He simply relied on the fruits of his body cultivation to make his way through.
He faced no obstructions as he moved through the group of demons.
Li Ming’s physical body was so powerful that even foundation establishment cultivators could not damage it.
The same was true for these demons.
After all, no one had ever cultivated body cultivation to such a level.
Qin Siyue looked at Li Ming as he charged into the group demons alone. He clearly did not show any regard for the demons, and he did not even use any magical arts. He relied solely on his fists and the sword in his hand. Wherever he passed, corpses littered the ground behind him!
“I did not expect your sect’s consecrator to be so domineering.”
Qin Siyue was stunned.
Although they were not in the golden core realm, it was not like they had never seen golden core cultivators fight.
However, other people were only able to do so through powerful techniques and boundless spiritual qi, but Li Ming was the complete opposite.
His body itself was terrifying, and he was able to completely ignore the attacks of these demons.
A golden core cultivator’s body should not be that strong.
Although their bodies were indeed slightly stronger than those at the foundation establishment realm, they were still naturally vulnerable to demons and monsters who were known for their physical strength.
However, the sight before Qin Siyue’s eyes overturned his knowledge..
