My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

After being rebuked by Gu Qing, the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Liang family was somewhat disarmed.

The two looked at each other.

They could both see the undisguised killing intent in each other's eyes.

"This is the Azure Emperor Sword Sect. Guests are welcome here."

"Fellow Daoist Liang Hui, please restrain yourself."

Seeing Gu Qing's resolute character and fearlessness in the face of pressure from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a hint of approval flashed in Meng Yu's eyes.

Meng Yu then stepped in to defuse the situation.

"snort--"

"Kid, you better be alright."

After forcing Liang Hui to retreat, Meng Yu comforted Gu Qing, saying:

"Young friend, please rest assured, within the territory of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, no one dares to lay a finger on you."

"My Azure Emperor Sword Sect is protected by a sword formation, so even a Golden Core cultivator wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

Yang Xiuyuan had met Gu Qing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Tiger-Slaying Fiend Sect.

He knew how terrifying Gu Qing's true strength was, but he didn't say anything more to avoid leaking Gu Qing's information.

"fine."

"He's just a clown, nothing to be afraid of."

Gu Qing smiled calmly, completely disregarding the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Liang family.

"hehe."

"Young friend, you are truly courageous. To have such a mindset at such a young age, if you were to cultivate the sword, you would surely be able to condense the profound sword intent with ultimate sharpness."

Meng Yu smiled and stared at Gu Qing, his admiration undisguised.

……

The Azure Emperor Sword Sect, the Sword Dao Palace.

Sect Master Su Changge and Li Daoyi of the White Emperor Sword Sect sat facing each other, with a tea table and spirit pot in front of them.

"The four great sword sects are closely connected. I never expected that only Brother Li would come in person. The other two probably hope that I will perish in that secret realm."

Su Changge gazed at the ever-flickering spiritual light of the flying swords below the mountain, his expression somewhat dejected.

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

"They don't even consider that if any one of the four great sword sects can't survive, how can they possibly protect their ancestral property?"

"Brother Su!"

"Are you still holding on?"

Li Daoyi put down his teacup and sighed softly.

In today's world, all forces are doing everything they can to strengthen themselves. Sects like the Tiger Demon Sect have reduced themselves to something neither human nor demon.

"cough--"

Su Changge coughed lightly, a trace of black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes: "I chopped off one of the heads of the nine-headed worm in that secret realm."

"If I can refine the insect soul inside this head, my strength can be further improved."

"Hopefully, someone can refine that kind of pill at this alchemy gathering."

Looking at the distant square, Li Daoyi said with some concern, "You've invested quite a bit this time, attracting many excellent alchemists."

However, there are also three Grand Alchemists at the Golden Core Realm among them.

By promising the position of guest elder, aren't you afraid of inviting trouble?

"You are already severely injured. If anything else happens, the Azure Emperor Sword Sect might truly fall into the hands of others."

Su Changge smiled:

"There's no other way. This world is getting crazier and crazier. We have to fight for it; we can't just wait to die!!"

"We can only see if there are any usable candidates among the Foundation Establishment stage Grand Alchemists..."

Looking down at the bustling square, he couldn't help but reminisce about the old days.

At that time, he was still a Qi Refining Realm disciple, and his fellow disciples lived in harmony.

I don't know when it started, but some strange things suddenly appeared in this world.

Upon hearing this, Li Daoyi also fell silent.

A short while later.

Outside the gates of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, three streaks of light streaked across the sky and landed directly outside the sect's gates.

Gazing at the three streaks of light, Su Changge felt a slight tremor in his spiritual energy, and a sharp aura emanated from him, as if a dusty sword had been drawn from its sheath once more.

"Han Feng, Lou Guan, and Lan Siqi, the three Grand Alchemists at the Golden Core Realm, have arrived."

"The alchemy gathering can begin now."

Let's go!

Before Su Changge could finish speaking, he had already disappeared from the Sword Dao Palace on his sword.

Li Daoyi, who was behind him, shook his head helplessly. He was hundreds of years old and still so impatient. He could only follow closely behind.

……

At the Azure Emperor Sword Sect Plaza, two sword cries rang out from afar, growing closer and arriving above the crowd in less than a second.

"Hahaha!!"

"Welcome everyone to the Alchemy Gathering hosted by the Azure Emperor Sword Sect."

A hearty laugh echoed from the sky.

As everyone looked up, they saw two Golden Core Realm sword cultivators traversing the sky. In the blink of an eye, the two landed on the high platform in front of the square.

"Master Su of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect doesn't look like he's seriously injured!!"

"It's hard to say."

"The Azure Emperor Sword Sect has a history of ten thousand years; perhaps it possesses some hidden strength that can heal injuries."

"don’t worry."

"Didn't you notice that Master Li from the White Emperor Sword Sect is also nearby?"

In the lounge, the ten invited chambers of commerce, as well as the various alchemists who had volunteered, all came to the square after hearing Su Changge's voice.

Just as Gu Qing was about to look up at the platform, a deep voice suddenly came from the edge of the square:

"Old Su, we're not late, are we?"

The speaker's voice was not loud.

However, its sound drowned out all the noise in the square.

The voice used some profound wind-attribute mystery, mixing mysterious power into the sound vibration frequency. The speaker's manipulation of wind-attribute mystery was simply terrifying.

If he were to incorporate this profound mystery into sound wave-based Taoist techniques, he could probably kill a large number of people with just a few words.

In the Immortal Realm, it's rare to see high-level cultivators showing off like this.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qing felt a chill run down her spine.

Unless one is absolutely certain of success, it is not advisable to offend a Golden Core cultivator in this world at present.

"Not too late, not too late, you've arrived just in time."

Su Changge responded with a smile from the high platform.

Unintentionally.

Gu Qing frowned slightly, feeling a fluctuation sweep over her. Even with her mental power, she couldn't detect what Su Changge was using; it seemed to be an invisible sword aura.

As soon as Su Changge finished speaking, the traces of the wind's mysteries on the square were cleared with a single click.

The square became lively again.

However, this commotion caused turmoil in the hearts of both Qi Refining Realm cultivators and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Golden Core Realm!!

Once I swallow a golden pill, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.

The Golden Core Realm is a hurdle to overcome.

Once you cross this hurdle, your life transcends the realm of the mortal.

As a Grand Alchemist at the Golden Core Realm, his ability to refine Grade 3 pills is beyond doubt.

therefore.

Su Changge personally invited Han Feng, Lou Guan, and Lan Siqi to rest on the high platform.

The three of them did not need to participate in the first two rounds of the Danhui assessment and directly advanced to the final round of the Danhui assessment. Moreover, the three of them were also judges in the first two rounds of assessment.

……

Su Changge arrived at the front of the high platform and looked at the nearly thirty alchemists in the square, his gaze sweeping over them one by one.

When Su Changge's gaze fell on Gu Qing, her eyes flickered slightly.

But when Su Changge saw the sign on Gu Qing's body that represented the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce, and thought of the Yang family's plight, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"Fine, let him give it a try."

Su Changge thought to himself.

He then looked at the guests and disciples of the sect in the entire square.

"At this alchemy gathering of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, those who meet the final criteria will not only be hired as guest elders by the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, but will also be rewarded with a three-thousand-year-old [Sword Realm Bitter Bamboo] as a reward."

"The Bitter Bamboo of the Sword Realm, three thousand years old!!"

Before Su Changge could finish speaking, countless disciples of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect gasped for breath.

A glint of light flashed in Gu Qing's eyes. This was a remnant of the primordial era. If he could refine it into his natal treasure...?

"Now, the Dan meeting will officially begin!!"
