"Master, why did you let her go? Over the years, Little Yan has killed many of our Demon Sect members, even Master Hong fell at her hands. Wasnât this a perfect opportunity to eliminate her since she was alone?"
One of the figures asked in confusion.
"I didnât deliberately let her go; itâs just that this little girl is indeed formidable. She wanted to leave, and I couldnât stop her,"
the strangely handsome man shook his head and said.
"Even you, Master, couldnât stop her?"
The two figures were startled, deeply aware of how profound and unfathomable their mysterious master was.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of cultivation realm, having reached the Second Transition of the Golden Core Realm, they still couldnât discern their masterâs true realm.
And now, such an enigmatic master says even he couldnât retain Lu Xiaoyan?
"Do not underestimate this Fairy Lu. According to the terms of your era, though she has just stepped into the Fourth Transition of the Golden Core Realm, the Magic Power Golden Core she has condensed is likely the most potent Top-grade Golden Core.
Coupled with her extraordinary swordsmanship, even I can only manage to remain undefeated.
To keep her here, if she fights desperately, would likely result in mutual destruction.
We have more significant matters ahead, and itâs not worth clashing over temporary emotions."
"Fourth Transition Golden Core, Top-grade Golden Core?!"
The two figures were shocked once more upon hearing this.
Since the day Lu Qing spoke of the path of the Golden Core within the Holy Mountain, introducing the division of the Golden Core into nine transitions and three grades.
Over time, this concept gradually spread and became known to the world.
Now the entire Cultivation World has begun adopting this realm classification.
Upon hearing the master say that Lu Xiaoyan may have condensed the legendary Top-grade Golden Core and has reached the Fourth Transition, how could the two figures not be astonished?
Since the revival of spiritual energy, decades have already passed.
Currently, the number of cultivators within the Golden Core Realm worldwide is considerable.
But they have yet to hear confirmed news of anyone condensing a Top-grade Golden Core.
If Lu Xiaoyan truly holds a Top-grade Golden Core, itâs no wonder even Master Hong fell to her recently.
Thinking of this, the two figures couldnât help but feel a little relieved.
They prided themselves on their exceptional cultivation talent, having endured a red Heavenly Tribulation and survived five strikes of Tribulation Thunder, ultimately forming a Mid-grade Golden Core.
But compared to Lu Xiaoyan, they clearly fall short.
With a mere swing of her sword, they might not be able to withstand it.
"Master, is Lu Xiaoyanâs cultivation talent truly so terrifying?"
One of them still had a hard time believing it and asked.
"Indeed, Fairy Luâs talent is such that even in my era, few could compare. Itâs rumored that her brother was even more outstanding, and was considered the worldâs number one back then, so you can imagine what kind of an exceptional individual he is."
The strangely handsome man couldnât help but sigh.
"Isnât there news that he left our world decades ago to explore the stars?" a figure asked.
If not for this, these Demon Cultivators wouldnât dare to be so conspicuous.
After all, back when spiritual energy began recovering, he achieved the status of Golden Core and was hailed as the worldâs number one.
Such a person is feared by all.
"Even so, thatâs merely speculation. No one can confirm whether the news is true or false," the strangely handsome man said.
"What if he is merely closed-door cultivating, not exploring the stars?
All our actions over the years have been to test whether heâs still around or not.
Even if we assume heâs already left our world, he must have left something behind, likely in the hands of Fairy Lu.
Thatâs why I didnât forcibly hold her. If cornered, causing him to reveal his plans, who knows what might happen?
Should it end in mutual destruction, it would merely benefit others."
The strangely handsome man was still very wary of the one who had become a Golden Core before his own revival and was recognized as the worldâs number one.
Although he was a Primordial Spirit Demon Cultivator from a previous era, he deeply understood how terrifying those favored by the worldâs fortune could be.
Such beings cannot be treated with common sense, a slight error might lead to doom, losing oneâs life at his hands.
Therefore, without absolute certainty, the strangely handsome man did not want to confront him directly.
"The best course now is to restore my strength as soon as possible. If I can return to the Primordial Spirit Realm, then even if fortune favors him, in the face of absolute strength, the path of fortune can still be crushed.
Moreover, I can employ Devil Technique to seize his worldly fortune and add it to my own.
By then, the entire world would tremble beneath my feet, for me to do with as I please!"
In the eyes of the strangely handsome man, a ghostly light flickered.
In the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, he was exceptionally gifted as a Demon Cultivator.
In his youth, he achieved Primordial Spirit and was one of the most remarkable figures within the Demon Path.
But due to his unfortunate timing, just after achieving Primordial Spirit, the worldâs spiritual energy nearly reached depletion.
