Under the shroud of that terrifying Spiritual Power, Lin Xuan felt like a frog being stared at by a viper. Tian Xiaojian beside him was also pale. As for other Core Formation Stage cultivators, although they coped slightly better, many of them had their foreheads drenched with fine drops of cold sweat.
Lin Xuan was shocked. If he was a little doubtful before, then he was almost certain now. Except for an old monster in the Nascent Soul Stage, who else had such an amazing momentum?
This was not the first time that he had experienced such pressure. He remembered that at the beginning of the conference in Blue Cloud Mountain, the other party’s Nascent Soul Elder gave him the same feeling.
For a time, the hall was quiet, everyone did not dare to speak or even move.
After a while.
Creak, a gentle breeze blew over, and the door opened automatically. The terrifying Spiritual Power pressure surged in like a tide.
Lin Xuan’s complexion turned a bit pale, but fortunately, it came fast and went just as quickly. After a few seconds, the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared, and he raised his head with lingering fear.
The first thing that caught his eyes was still the slightly wrinkled face of Daoist Master Ku Mu. However, at this moment, the Sect Master, an expert at the Core Formation Stage Great Perfection, had a respectful expression on his face. He also carefully accompanied an old man with red hair.
In addition to his weird hair color, his whole person seemed out of the ordinary. After the restrained his aura, you couldn’t feel the slightest Spiritual Power on his body.
“Fellow Daoists, I’d like to introduce a senior to you. This is the red-haired ancestor, I believe that everyone here has already heard of his name.”Daoist Master Ku Mu said with a smile.
Red Haired Ancestor?
Although seeing his old appearance, the cultivators here had already guessed a thing or two, but once confirmed. Most of their faces were still surprised.
Lin Xuan also raised his head in surprise.
Although this old man rarely appeared in public, in terms of reputation, even the grand elders of the Big Three, or even the Extreme Demon Venerable were not as famous as him.
This was not to say that his cultivation base was higher than others. Except for the Extreme Demon Venerable who had entered the middle stage and cultivated a second soul and was obviously superior to others, the rest of the old monsters at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage should be equally powerful
The Red-Haired Ancestor was also in the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.
The reason why he was famous is that he was a Rogue Cultivator.
It was commonly known that the Cultivation World is divided into three groups: Sects, Clans, and Rogue Cultivators. Among them, Rogue Cultivators were the weakest and belonged to the grassroots family. Usually, if one successfully builds a foundation, they would be very popular. Throughout the ages, there have been very few Rogue Cultivators that have reached the Core Formation Stage. It could be described as rare.
As for the Nascent Soul Stage?
At least two hundred years ago, people would definitely rebuke it as ridiculous nonsense. The history of cultivation had been going for at least hundreds of thousands of years. How strong is the Nascent Soul Stage? If you wanted to cultivate this realm, you’d need to consume an astronomical number of pills and spirit stones, not even medium-sized sects can afford it, let alone a Rogue Cultivator without the cover of a big tree to shield from the wind.
However, nothing is absolute, just about two hundred years ago, this myth was broken.
An eccentric red-haired cultivator had successfully formed a Nascent Soul. Moreover, since this person had stepped into Immortal Cultivation, he had never attached himself to any sect or clan.
The newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator came to be known as the Red-Haired Ancestor. Naturally, countless forces wanted to win him over. However, this old one refused them one by one.
Although the major forces were unwilling, they were helpless. Only a fool would offend an old monster of the Nascent Soul Stage.
What’s more, although this person was not a Demonic cultivator, his personality was eccentric and unsocial. When he was in a good mood, he would be nice to even a young cultivator at the Spirit Gathering Stage, or even a mortal. But if he was in a bad mood, he would kill anyone who annoyed him.
His actions were sometimes righteous or evil, but the more this unpredictable person was, the more frightening he was, not to mention his cultivation base.
So although all the cultivators were surprised, no one dared to neglect him, and they all bowed to him.
“Forget it!
The Red-Haired Ancestor waved his hand and then walked to the main seat in front of the hall and sat down as if no one was around.
Then he glanced around the hall. The cultivators held their breath and kept silent, fearing that they would accidentally offend the old man at the Nascent Soul Stage.
“Eh?
In the face of the Core Formation Stage cultivators below, the Old Ancestor didn’t care much. Even when his eyes touched Xu Han, it was only a slight sweep.
But when his gaze turned to the corner near the south side of the hall, he cried out with a look of surprise and doubt.
The others were naturally moved. After all, the things that can surprise a Nascent Soul Stage Expert were certainly not trivial, and all of them turned their heads.
The figures of the two young men came into view.
One looked ordinary, the other was quite handsome, dressed like a child of a noble family, but other than that, there was nothing special. The two of them were only at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage.
After observing them for a long time, everyone still found nothing special, and they could not help but show expressions of confusion.
He didn’t know how Tian Xiaojian felt at this moment. Although Lin Xuan was still able to maintain his unrestrained appearance on the surface, his heart was jumping wildly.
The reason for the other party’s surprise was because he saw through his true cultivation base. Although he was able to hide it with the Hidden Spirit Pill and the Nine Heavens Profound Art from Core Formation Stage cultivators. However, the Spiritual Sense of a Nascent Soul Stage Expert was much stronger. Under his careful observation, he was naturally able to see through him
“The Cultivation Method you two are practicing is good. It seems that you have a strong background.”
The words of the red-haired ancestor put Lin Xuan’s mind at ease. The other party did not mean to expose it on the spot, although this sentence also attracted a lot of surprised gazes.
It also confirmed Lin Xuan’s conjecture that Tian Xiaojian was indeed the same as him.
