601 The Pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm (2/2)
However, this thought now made them feel so childish. The centuries of heritage of Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect, as expected, was not an existence that they could fathom. Although Medical Sect and Weapon Forging Sect had a few tricks up their sleeves, the mere presence of Grandmother Hui Ling was enough to keep them from daring to act brazenly.
Moreover, the two of them clearly knew that among the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Five Beasts Sect, there were still powers that they did not fathom. There would most likely be more than one figure that was not weaker than Pavilion Leader Ye Rong and Bu Zhangkun.
When He Xiangyu was in danger, Bu Zhangkun felt even more anxious, but his ability was limited. At this moment, he could not save He Xiangyu at all. The Corpse Puppet was less than ten meters from He Xiangyu. He was completely helpless.
”Humph, you're getting more and more useless, you old thing.”
Grandmother Hui Ling, who had not said anything all this while, coldly snorted, seemingly dissatisfied with He Xiangyu's cries. However, she did not ignore him. It was because she knew that only by joining forces did they have a chance at victory. If He Xiangyu died at the hands of the Corpse Puppet, it would be almost impossible for her to deal with the Corpse Puppet alone.
She had barely finished saying this when she appeared in midair. From inside the grey robe, a shriveled hand extended out. The hand held a crooked-shape crutch. The trunk of the crutch had a dark red dragon circling it, emanating a crimson glow.
A powerful aura swept out. The crutch was actually a spiritual weapon, and its rank was not low. It was top grade.
After the red light flashed, a dragon-shaped shadow appeared behind the Corpse Puppet. It directly passed through the Chill Circle, furiously colliding with the Corpse Puppet.
A terrifying power swept out. Deep black crack lines appeared on the ground of the palace hall. Even though the hall was cast with special materials, it could not withstand the terrifying battle power right now.
The Corpse Puppet, which was originally already less than five meters from He Xiangyu, felt the attack coming from behind it. It roared angrily, turning around and clawing out, directly shattering the dragon-shaped shadow. No attack seemed to be able to withstand even one blow from the Corpse Puppet.
However, Grandmother Hui Ling was not aiming to injure the Corpse Puppet. She had already achieved her goal. Due to the two terrifying powers colliding, the Chill Circle gradually collapsed and dissipated. With a flash of his silhouette, He Xiangyu escaped from the Chill Circle, flying out a hundred meters.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes showing signs of fear. Just now, if the Corpse Puppet had not bothered with Grandmother Hui Ling's disturbance and resolutely attacked him, under such conditions, even if he did not die, he would most likely be crippled within an inch of his life.
Fortunately, the Corpse Puppet did not have sentience. Everything it did was just based on instinct. It would not have so many considerations. This was He Xiangyu's fortune among his misfortunes.
”Such powerful cultivation.” A look of astonishment flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. His gaze fixed upon Grandmother Hui Ling. This mysterious person actually had the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm cultivation. It was the authentic pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm cultivation, higher than He Xiangyu's by quite a bit. This surprised him very much.
In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, there was actually such a figure. Her attack did not appear powerful, but with Mo Wen's sharp sensory ability, how could he not see through the terrifying power contained within it?
If it was not powerful, it would not have passed through the Chill Circle and directly acted on the Corpse Puppet. Normal attacks would most likely be immediately disintegrated under the freezing chill once it entered the Chill Circle.
”Elder He, are you alright?” When Bu Zhangkun saw that He Xiangyu had escaped, he immediately flew over to He Xiangyu's side. His gaze was focused on the Corpse Puppet.
”You've broken through?” He Xiangyu ignored Bu Zhangkun, his gaze furiously set on Grandmother Hui Ling. Just now, maybe Bu Zhangkun, Jiang Pingzhou and the others of the four later stage Golden Elixir realm practitioners had not seen through it, but how could she possibly keep it from him? The power just now could only be achieved by an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. Even he was slightly inferior.
”I just got lucky,” Grandmother Hui Ling said nonchalantly.
”As expected, the heritage of Purple Qi Pavilion is frightening.” He Xiangyu's gaze was somewhat complicated. He clearly knew how difficult it was to break through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. Eighty years ago, he had already reached the later stage Golden Elixir realm. But after eighty years of bitter practice, he had not broken through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. Although Grandmother Hui Ling said it simply, how could she reach this step with just luck?
”In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, aside from 'that person', you are most likely the number one strong practitioner,” He Xiangyu said somewhat forlornly. In reality, once one reached his realm, their experience and exposure would naturally be vast. There were quite a few later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners hidden in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. But among those who could reach the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm and beyond, in so many years, aside from that person, there was only Grandmother Hui Ling.
”That's not necessarily true. There are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. That person is the only existence that we can look up to. Who knows whether there are other hidden strong practitioners?”
Grandmother Hui Ling shook her head, a strange look in her eyes. The higher one's cultivation, the vaster their experience and exposure would naturally be.
”Grandmother, you…” Pavilion Leader Ye Rong flew up beside Grandmother Hui Ling, her expression pleasantly surprised as she looked at her. Everyone in the palace hall had heard He Xiangyu's words just now. She had not expected that Grandmother Hui Ling had actually broken through to this stage. In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, how many years has it been since a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner had appeared?
In reality, Grandmother Hui Ling mostly lived in seclusion. Her whereabouts were mysterious, appearing one moment and disappearing the next. It was hard for Pavilion Leader Ye Rong to even meet her. Hence, she had not known about Grandmother Hui Ling's exact cultivation. For Pavilion Leader Ye Rong, it was practically a huge surprise.
Once word of Grandmother Hui Ling's cultivation got out, Purple Qi Pavilion would certainly, undisputedly claim the position of the number one sect in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. They would surely overtake Five Beasts Sect. No one could surpass them.
