Chapter 165 Old Maid, Madwoman
The Six Paths Supreme Saint chuckled lightly: "This is truly infuriating."
As Wan Sangu lowered her legs, the moment her feet touched the ground, the muscle lines were clearly outlined under her white scholar's robe, revealing a powerful and firm physique.
"Enough talk, let's set a time for a spar!"
Where is the demeanor of a leader of the righteous path and a supreme elder of the Wanfamen sect?
It was clearly the behavior of street thugs challenging each other to a fight, all that was missing was the phrase "Don't you dare leave."
Her self-centered and unconventional behavior, completely disregarding her status and dignity, is precisely why many Nascent Soul cultivators secretly call her a "madwoman" behind her back.
As for why it wasn't said in person...
Of course we can't beat them!
The Six Paths Supreme Saint flicked his sleeves. "Since that's the case, I have an idea. Why don't you, Fellow Daoist Wan, go and meet that person to test the depth of his cultivation?"
Aunt Wan was not easily fooled and smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"You want me to scout ahead for you? You got screwed over and now you want to drag me down with you, using me as a stepping stone? That just proves you really did try your best?"
The Six Paths Supreme Saint was exposed in person, but he was not angry. His voice remained calm and indifferent.
He paused briefly, then offered another suggestion.
"What if the two of us joined forces?"
These words were like a boulder thrown into stagnant water!
The entire cave space seemed to freeze for a moment, then was filled with a sudden burst of whispers.
On the bronze mirror, a dozen blurry phantoms appeared. The Nascent Soul stage experts from both the righteous and demonic paths could no longer remain silent.
"Joining forces?!"
"Two powerful cultivators joining forces against one?"
"I think it's a good idea!"
Just as previously feared, if Tianxing City truly has a third late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in charge...
Even if the two Saints are trapped in Yuanci Mountain and cannot leave Tianxing City, the fact that a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator can move freely outside will pose a fatal threat to the Reverse Star Alliance, making it difficult for them to even maintain a "balanced" situation.
The mocking smile on Wan Sangu's face vanished, replaced by a cold indifference.
Give me a reason.
The Six Paths Supreme Saint said unhurriedly, "Several thousand years ago, the Heavenly Realm Hermit broke through the Star Palace, severely damaging its vital energy, but its foundation remained. Now, Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing are cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, but they are trapped by the power of Yuan Magnetic, unable to leave Tianxing City. This is like adding insult to injury for the Star Palace."
Third Aunt frowned. "So what are you trying to say?"
The Six Paths Supreme Saint continued, "If we allow them to recover and continue to monopolize the resources of the Inner Sea and control the Void Heaven Palace Secret Realm—as far as I know, Fellow Daoist Wan, you have been trapped at the late Nascent Soul stage bottleneck for hundreds of years, haven't you? Are you truly willing to exhaust your lifespan and die here?"
"Among the many ancient secret techniques passed down from the Void Heaven Palace, there are records of paths to breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. I admit I am determined to obtain them, but Fellow Daoist Wan, are you truly not curious at all? Don't you want to see the splendor of the Nascent Soul realm?"
After listening, Aunt Wan did not rush to answer, but fell silent, her fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of the chair.
The longer you live, the more you want to live.
Although cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage have a lifespan of over a thousand years, they are not truly immortal.
For centuries, people have been trapped in a bottleneck, watching helplessly as the great path lies ahead, yet unable to enter, waiting for their lifespan to run out. This feeling is difficult for those who have not experienced it firsthand to understand.
have to say.
This devil's skill in bewitching and instigating was truly masterful. After his words, she couldn't muster much desire to refuse. Instead, she felt that joining forces was inevitable.
The truth is that in the ten thousand years of the Chaotic Star Sea, apart from the Star Palace, no one else has been able to successfully advance to the God Transformation stage.
Even the once-renowned Heavenly Realm Hermit, who had killed a former Star Palace Master, was said to have ultimately stopped at the late Nascent Soul stage.
The reason why the Star Palace was able to dominate the Chaotic Star Sea for so long was that one or two Nascent Soul cultivators were born there.
This is precisely why the Star Palace's unshakeable rule was established.
As for why the Star Palace can tolerate the Void Heaven Palace opening once every three hundred years, allowing both the righteous and demonic paths, as well as rogue cultivators, to enter together.
It's simply because they fear the wrath of the masses.
However, the truly crucial ancient heritage within the hall had been completely plundered after several openings, leaving very little behind.
Therefore, for cultivators like Wan Sangu and Liudao Jisheng who have stopped at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, it is difficult to advance further.
The only hope lies in the jade slips or ancient texts in the Void Heaven Palace that may still exist, containing ancient secret techniques and methods for breakthroughs.
There is no other way.
Wan Sangu once gleaned a few words from a surviving ancient book.
The records indicate that the spiritual energy in ancient times was far beyond what it is now. Unfortunately, in an extremely distant era, so distant that it is difficult to trace back, a truly earth-shattering war took place.
It was that catastrophe that led to the current predicament of scarce spiritual energy in the world and the severance of many paths to enlightenment.
"The Void Heaven Palace will open in less than twenty years. When are you planning to plot it? If it's near Tianxing City, you can go and die. I'm not going to accompany you. If people misunderstand and think you're a pair of doomed lovers, that would be the most ridiculous thing in the world."
Aunt Wan's tone was normal, but her speech was not.
As soon as these words were spoken, several suppressed laughs came from the surrounding area.
The Nascent Soul cultivators on the righteous path remained silent, though a strange atmosphere inevitably lingered.
The situation was different on the demonic path. Several old monsters, who were already known for their unrestrained nature, let out a few light laughs that sounded particularly jarring.
Wan Sangu's eyes instantly darted to the side, her sharp gaze sweeping over the illusory figures of the demonic faction as if it were a tangible blade.
"Laugh? You think I'm talking to you for laughs?"
Those old monsters, swept by her gaze, their phantom images blurred and swayed, like candles flickering in the wind.
A few coughs suddenly rang out, and there was no trace of laughter left.
Only a crazy woman like her could say such things, and say them with such self-righteousness.
There's nothing we can do; their level of understanding is simply too high.
She's a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who's been cultivating for hundreds of years, yet she's still a spinster. No wonder she's so temperamental and irritable, exploding at the slightest provocation.
As for her "great achievements," which of the old monsters present hasn't heard a few of them?
What is most talked about is that when she was still in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, a male cultivator, probably because he thought she was pretty, proposed to become her Daoist partner.
The implication is that he wants to sleep with her.
How is the result?
I thought it would be a perfect ending where everyone was happy.
Unexpectedly, Wan Sangu didn't even bother to refuse; instead, she decided to kill him.
With her initial cultivation level, she actually engaged in a fierce battle with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
At first, Wan Sangu was no match for her, but she was extremely patient and persistent, and she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
While diligently cultivating, he relentlessly attacked the man.
Each time he made a move, if he missed, he would flee a thousand miles away, never lingering in battle.
This continued until a hundred years later when she finally killed her opponent, which was when Wan Sangu reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
It is said that when she beheaded the other person, she spat fiercely, leaving behind that famous saying that has been passed down to this day, and is worth drinking three large bowls of wine whenever it is mentioned.
"What kind of scrawny wretch dares to lay a finger on me? A piece of trash who isn't even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, dares to speak!"
After that incident, Wan Sangu's reputation as a "madwoman" was completely cemented.
From then on, the first reaction of Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths upon seeing her was no longer one of amazement at her stunning beauty.
Instead, they were only thinking about how to stay away from her, lest they inadvertently offend this crazy woman.
The Six Paths Supreme Saint naturally understood the deeper meaning in the other party's words.
If they were to carry out an ambush near Tianxing City, facing three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, the two of them would have little chance of success, let alone escaping unscathed, and would most likely perish there.
This matter requires careful consideration and deliberation before taking action.
Since the two saints cannot be separated from Yuanci Mountain, there is naturally no need to pay attention to them.
The key is to lure the other party out of Tianxing City, or to create an opportunity to force them to leave.
"No need to worry, I will take care of the planning and arrangements."
The Six Paths Supreme Saint spoke with a calm and composed tone.
"The location will definitely not be near Tianxing City, so you can rest assured about that. In addition, we will need the assistance of several mid-Nascent Soul cultivators. Fellow Daoist Wan, do you think the righteous path can gather a few like-minded individuals?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Sangu's gaze sharpened, sweeping over the Six Paths Supreme Saint before she remained silent.
No one who has lived to this age is a fool.
She and the Six Paths Supreme Saint had both reached the pinnacle of the late Nascent Soul stage, their cultivation levels were nearly identical, their cultivation techniques were all top-tier inheritances, and they possessed numerous secret arts, making them far more than just "capable fighters."
However, the fact that the Six Paths Old Demon needed to summon an additional seven or eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators can only mean one thing.
His claim of a "deadly" match is highly exaggerated.
Not only did they lose, but they may even have suffered a significant loss!
Wan Sangu's mind raced, and she instantly grasped the key point.
And indeed, that was exactly what she had guessed.
The claim that the Six Paths Saints lacked confidence was not unfounded.
Back then, when he fought Lu Jianghe, one of his demonic statues was destroyed by the opponent.
This damage to his foundation meant that, decades later, he has still not recovered to his true peak condition.
To make up for this deficit and enhance his killing power, he had to devote some of his energy to refining an ancient demon banner.
As for why we didn't call on some early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators?
Because at this level, quantity becomes meaningless.
Even if you send an invitation, you'll most likely be rejected outright.
Aunt Wan turned to face the righteous faction and said directly, "Which of you is willing to accompany me on this journey? I'll start."
Who is Xiao Wan?
Naturally, this refers to Wan Tianming, the leader of the Wanfamen sect.
Throughout, he never spoke, but the first illusory figure to her right spoke in a refined voice.
"I will obey the decree of the Supreme Elder."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Diankong of the Taiyang Sect also chimed in, "I am also willing to go."
Based on this calculation, the righteous path alone could produce one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Six Paths Saint turned his gaze to the demonic faction.
However, the old monsters at the table remained silent, none of them uttering a word, as if it were none of their business.
Upon seeing this, a clear displeasure appeared on the face of the Six Paths Supreme Saint for the first time.
He was the one who proposed this, and Wan Sangu easily got two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to respond with just one sentence, while he was left speechless. How could he save face?
