Chapter 493: 493
"In other words, including the sect master, there are three great cultivators in the Vital Energy Sect?" asked Lu Sheng .
"…That's how it seems on the surface . The plain folk only knows that the seven Peak Masters are of the Nascent Soul tier . However, only cultivators of the same tier such as I have heard some insider information about the Vital Energy Sect . More importantly, the Vital Energy Sect even has some connections to the Higher Realms," Liu'er continued .
"Higher Realms?" Lu Sheng immediately slowed down . His eyes revealed that he was puzzled .
"Yes, the Higher Realms is what we call the Land of the Immortals . However, their connection with it is faint and minor at best . In the recent thousand years, the boundary between the Human World and the Immortal World has grown stronger . Even if a great cultivator wants to break through this boundary, he'd have to go through many troubles . He must either borrow strength from others or work together with other forces," explained Liu'er solemnly . "In today's world, there are only two sects that have maintained connections with the Higher Realms . One of them is the Vital Energy Sect, and the other is the Devil Path…"
"Interesting . " Lu Sheng had initially thought that this trip would end in him pushing over the Vital Energy Sect . He did not expect there to be so many interesting things for him to learn .
He was too powerful .
After he became a great cultivator of the Late-stage Nascent Soul tier, his supernatural power was almost 10,000 times greater than that of an ordinary great cultivator!
What concept was that?
There were not even 10,000 great cultivators in the world . 10,000 aside, it was impossible for there to be thousands or even hundreds of great cultivators . Great cultivators were not as common as Chinese cabbage; they were peak experts equivalent to the tier of Divine Lord Divine Intellect .
The Vital Energy Sect was already regarded as the most powerful sect, yet they only had a few great cultivators . If the other sects could have even one great cultivator among their ranks, they would be able to become overlords of the central plains and claim a portion of its resources for themselves .
"In the world today, those who can be mentioned in the same breath as you are the Vital Energy Sect's sect master and the Devil Path Earth King Hall's mysterious hall master . These two deserve their reputation of being peak existences . The great battle between the Righteous and Devil Path and the large-scale arrival of the Ancient Demon before this have been foiled by the Vital Energy Sect's sect master . He closed the Ten Thousand Devil School, and stopped the Earth King Hall's master's plan on the eve of complete success," Liu'er explained .
"Is that so?" Lu Sheng gave a faint, noncommittal smile . He was the current master of the four seas, and his supernatural power could drown out the heavens and destroy the earth . He was unrivalled . It was still unknown if there could be anyone in the world who could be mentioned in the same breath as himself .
He believed that even a Primordial Spirit elite who was on a higher tier than him would not be more powerful .
"Our objective today is to get an explanation from the Vital Energy Sect . When they were spreading their wings all those years ago, they had forced me to flee overseas . Hence, this time, I want compensation from them, and also an explanation," said Lu Sheng calmly .
Liu'er was hesitant . She was unsure what extent Lu Sheng would go to . "But, Sect Master, with just the two of us . . . isn't it slightly inappropriate for us to storm the Vital Energy Sect's main branch, the Swaying Gold Mountains?"
"That's alright . " Lu Sheng smiled . "You may continue your explanation . "
Liu'er nodded, no longer questioning him . To her, Li Sheng had always been a person who did things with a plan in mind .
"If…"—she paused slightly—"if we really take the Swaying Gold Mountain on as our opponent, we must first break through the Swaying Gold Mountain's Cyclone Nine Tripod Cauldrons Formation . It's a protective formation around the mountain that acts like a maze formation . However, this formation has actually surpassed the limits of the entire Human World . It's said to be a peak formation gifted by the immortals of the Higher Realms . It's a formation that can even touch upon the mysterious Space-time Art .
"After we break through the formation, we'll have to face the Twelve Goldwater Laws . It's a special method laid out by the seven Peak Masters; everything under the sun is contained within it . I was fortunate enough to witness a person charge at the mountain once…" Liu'er shook her head slightly . She was still filled with lingering fear even now .

"In other words, even with my current strength, you're skeptical as to whether I'm able to survive these Twelve Laws?" Lu Sheng asked with slightly raised eyebrows .
"That's indeed the case, Sect Master . Naturally, you're powerful, but the Twelve Laws are powerful as well . The two of you are at a level I can't even touch upon . Hence… I can't determine who's going to win…" Liu'er answered honestly .
"That's alright . What comes afterward?" Lu Sheng smiled .
"Then, there's the Seven Peaks . Each of them are independent units . Because of the formation, if we want to reach the highest point, Name Hall, we must pass through every single bedrock of every Peak until the very end . That's all I know," Liu'er said, and stopped talking .
"That's alright . I'll try it out myself for the later stages . " Lu Sheng suddenly stopped and looked before him .
The gradient of the forest increased before them . It was already at the gradient that called for a hike . Without them noticing, the forest was already filled with white mist .
The mist turned and swirled as if something was approaching them .
"I was unaware that True Lord Fu Hai would grace me with his presence . Please forgive me for not going out to meet you . " A blurry silhouette of a Taoist was formed by the white mist . The Taoist walked slowly out of the mist and bowed toward Lu Sheng and Liu'er from afar .
"The name's Lu Shan . Hall master of the Bright Sword Hall under the Vital Energy Sect's First Peak . "
Lu Sheng scrutinized the thick white mist . "I gather that the Cyclone Nine Tripod Cauldrons Formation has already been activated?"
"Sect Master, since you know that already, why do you ask for trouble still? The Swaying Gold Mountain's Nine Tripod Cauldrons Formation has never been broken since its activation a few hundred years ago . Even if you've reached the Nascent Soul tier and became a True Lord, it's impossible for you to bypass this formation," Taoist Lu Shan said with a smile .
Lu Sheng did not even look at him . Instead, he felt the flow of the Spirit Qi in the entire formation in detail . His Divine Lord's spirit possessed a deceptive nature unique to Heavenly Devils . This deceptive nature was referred to as the ability to distort reality by the Heavenly Devils, and was a terrifying ability that could even deceive nature itself . It was not something that could be impeded by this simple formation .
In no time, Lu Sheng's spirit had already gotten a grasp of the Cyclone Nine Tripod Cauldrons Formation's key points .
"The reason I'm making this journey is to get an explanation for the matter that happened a few decades ago . I was forced by your elites to flee overseas . I ask that you send someone in charge here to give me such an explanation . " Lu Sheng was in no hurry to attack . He merely stated his intentions with a naturally calm expression .
"There's no need for that . Our elders, the Peak Masters, are all in secluded cultivation for now . If there's nothing important, I'll ask that you see yourself out, Sect Master, so as not to break the peace we have . " The misty Taoist implied a threat with his words .
"Preposterous!" Liu'er suddenly made a move from the side . She waved an arm, and a spot of scarlet light shot out . However, the strange thing was that the spot of light had barely flown ten meters when it suddenly vanished in the air .
Liu'er paled . She immediately felt that the scarlet light which she unleashed had broken free of her control . It felt as if her flesh was cut down from her own body .
"Nascent Soul True Lord? You must be Senior Liu, Mount Qi's chief, right? There were rumors that said Mount Qi has formed an alliance with the Four Seas Sect . Seems like the rumors were true," the misty Taoist said with astonishment .
