Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 291: Chapter 288: A Challenge at the Door

”Is this all?”

On the vast plaza,

the white-robed youth spoke calmly.

Around the plaza,

the faces of the Dragon Cloud Sect’s Outer Disciples were flushed red, but not a single one dared to speak.

Upon the high platform,

the few Sect Elders gathered there, who were also Master Wandering Dragon’s Direct Disciples, all furrowed their brows slightly as they watched.

They had lost!

All the Outer Disciples had taken their turns,

and every single one was easily defeated.

Among the several hundred Outer Disciples of the entire Dragon Cloud Sect, not a single one was his match!

One could say,

that the white-robed youth, single-handedly, had swept through the entire Outer Sect of the Dragon Cloud Sect.

To be honest,

this outcome,

had actually been expected.

After all, their opponent was a peerless Demon,

and one who had ascended to the Soul Emergence Realm by coalescing a Divine Seed!

There was never any chance of winning from the very beginning.

But the problem was,

the outcome was too brutal!

To show fairness,

the white-robed youth, a member of their own generation, stood in the center of the plaza,

and calmly laid out his terms: he would suppress his Cultivation Realm to the Qi Introduction Ninth Layer, without using his Divine Sense or any techniques beyond the Qi Introduction Realm...

If they could force him back even half a step,

it would be his loss!

Those words were practically dripping with contempt.

They undoubtedly sparked the fury of everyone present.

’Sure, you’re in the Soul Emergence Realm. You’ve walked further than any of us, that’s true.’

’But aren’t you underestimating us a little too much?!’

’Shen Changchuan was able to fight above his level and defeat someone in the Soul Emergence Realm while he was still in the Qi Introduction Realm.’

’We can do the same!’

’Suppressing your cultivation to the Qi Introduction Ninth Layer Realm, not using any power beyond the Ninth Layer Realm, and you lose if you’re forced back half a step?’

’Who do you think you’re looking down on?!’

Ignited with fury, the crowd of Outer Disciples challenged him one after another.

And then,

there was no ’and then’.

The white-robed youth stood his ground, an immovable reef pounded by the tide, yet he remained unshaken.

In contrast,

among the hundreds of disciples in the Dragon Cloud Sect’s Outer Sect,

whether they were the top-ranking prodigies or just ordinary members,

before him,

they were all like seafoam, easily shattered!

At that moment,

all the Dragon Cloud Sect’s Outer Disciples facing the white-robed youth profoundly understood the meaning of the word ’invincible’.

The youth just stood there calmly,

and became an insurmountable chasm!

All their pride,

was shattered to pieces before him,

leaving them on the verge of despair!

”If that’s the case, then let’s end it here.”

Seeing that no one else would step forward,

a dead silence fell all around.

The white-robed youth spoke calmly, his expression unchanging.

Or perhaps, for him,

he had known this would be the outcome long before he arrived at their gate.

And that gaze, which regarded others as insignificant as insects,

only served to further fuel the indignation and anger in the hearts of all the Outer Disciples present.

But no matter what they felt, in the end, they were utterly powerless...

”Hahaha!”

”My apologies, Senior Brother. My disciple is not well-versed in social graces and went a little overboard.”

”This kid... If I had known, I would have told him to hold back a bit. Otherwise, with Senior Brother having just established his Mountain Gate, for all his Disciples to be so easily swept aside by a peer... where would you save face...?”

”Ah, I do hope this doesn’t leave too great a shadow on your disciples. For any offense caused, I ask for your forgiveness, Senior Brother.”

On the high platform,

Vajra’s Furious Gaze Wu Zhen apologized to Master Wandering Dragon, a smile on his face.

But his words contained not the slightest hint of an apology.

Instead, they were tinged with smugness and mockery.

In response,

Master Wandering Dragon’s expression remained completely unfazed.

”In this world, not everyone is a peerless genius. On the path of cultivation, winning and losing are both part of the norm.”

”Being one step ahead now doesn’t mean you’ll be ahead for a lifetime.”

”Rest assured, Junior Brother, my disciples are not so fragile that they can’t handle a loss. They won’t take it to heart.”

”By the way, congratulations on accepting such a fine disciple, Junior Brother.”

Master Wandering Dragon said, his voice calm.

It was as if he hadn’t taken the matter to heart at all.

”You’re certainly broad-minded, Senior Brother... It seems establishing your Sect and holing up here has given you quite a few epiphanies!”

”I’ve had some small insights, but nothing compared to your luck, Junior Brother, to have taken in a junior with an Innate Spiritual Body as your disciple... It’s just that for a peerless prodigy, the likes of which are seen once in a century, I wonder how many people would want to take him as their legacy disciple. You’d better keep a close eye on him, Junior Brother. Don’t let your own backyard catch fire and have him be poached by someone else.”

”Heh, you don’t need to worry about that, Senior Brother.”

”Speaking of which, since you seem so enlightened about the ways of the world, Senior Brother, why not retreat a little more thoroughly? After all, taking a step back opens up a wider sea and a vaster sky.”

”Is that what the person behind you wants?”

Master Wandering Dragon’s gaze suddenly turned cold, his eyes instantly becoming sharp as a blade.

The meaning behind the other’s words was crystal clear.

He was being told to withdraw from his position as one of the Yuqing Seven Sons.

However,

if the title of ’Yuqing Seven Sons’ were merely a name, it wouldn’t matter to Master Wandering Dragon whether he relinquished it or not.

But unfortunately, it was not.

This title involved immense benefits!

It could even be said that it was the very foundation Master Wandering Dragon needed to break through to the Profound Pill Realm!

This ”suggestion” was, without a doubt, tantamount to obstructing his Dao!

A cold killing intent,

began to spread at that moment.

The temperature of the air dropped suddenly!

It felt as if it were about to freeze solid,

chilling to the bone!

Wu Zhen still wore a faint smile, his expression barely changing,

as if nothing had happened.

But in the void surrounding the two of them, space had begun to subtly distort.

This was the bizarre phenomenon caused by the collision of their terrifying auras, which was powerful enough to warp the very vacuum of space!

The power between them was stretched to its absolute limit,

and it seemed as though space itself would shatter in the next instant!

And yet, within this tense atmosphere,

thanks to their incredible control,

the clash of auras between the two Divine Travel Realm experts didn’t leak the slightest sliver of power!

On the plaza below,

no one even noticed the terrifying confrontation happening above.

Only Master Wandering Dragon’s few Direct Disciples, who were also standing on the high platform and were relatively close, could sense the heart-stopping aura permeating the air.

Their hearts leaped into their throats,

and they secretly gathered their Magical Power,

ready to strike at a moment’s notice!

”Hehe, why such a strong reaction, Senior Brother?”

”This was just a casual, well-intentioned suggestion from your Junior Brother.”

”It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it, Senior Brother.”

”I’m just concerned for you, Senior Brother!”

The smile vanished from Wu Zhen’s face as he simultaneously retracted his terrifying aura.

His gaze shifted to the white-robed youth on the plaza below, who was dominating the entire field,

and he spoke in a somewhat lazy drawl.

The tense atmosphere of the standoff dissipated.

But Wu Zhen’s words remained utterly merciless.

”Master, this disciple wishes to enter the field and witness the skills of our little Junior Brother for myself!”

Seeing that Master Wandering Dragon’s honor was being ridiculed,

the several Dragon Cloud Sect Elders beside him, who were also Master Wandering Dragon’s Direct Disciples, immediately glared at Wu Zhen with fury.

Among them, Wu Tianhao took a step forward,

and loudly requested to fight!
