Chapter 690: Bai Liuxian (1/2)
At the same time that the Grand Elder's voice died down, countless protective formations sprung from the heart of the Holy mountain, covering not just the Holy sect at the mountain's peak, but the entire Holy mountain in the blink of an eye.
These were the protective formations of the Holy sect that had been carved by many star-rank formation masters thousands of years ago.
Even if a large group of rank 9 Dao Emperors assaulted the Holy sect, these protective formations would stand strong without any issue.
But the Grand Elder knew, that in front of this purple-robed old man on the 'Hellfire crow's' back, it would need at most a couple of attacks before the Holy sect's protective formations were destroyed.
The purple-robed young woman's lips curved upwards when she saw these protective formations that could be destroyed even by the Hellfire crow she was standing, let alone the old man next to her.
At the same time, the old man shook his head and didn't pay any mind to these protective formations around the Holy sect, as if they were nothing but child's play in front of him, before he turned his gaze towards the Grand Elder behind them.
He could feel that this old man was the strongest person present in the Holy sect, a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor.
Although peak rank 9 Dao Emperors could travel through the central region unhindered and they would be considered high-level experts as well, in front of this purple-robed old man, Dao Emperors were nothing more than a bunch of children.
In the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black who was previously lying on the ground with his eyes closed suddenly opened them a moment later, before he said in a solemn voice
''Master, that old man on the 'Hellfire crow's' back is a Sovereign realm cultivator.''
Shun Long had a look of surprise flash inside his eyes as he stared at the gigantic black crow in the sky. He could also guess that a group that would naturally strut around inside the Holy sect's territory and sit on the back of a peak rank 7 magic beast like the 'Hellfire crow', most likely belonged to -at the very least- an extremely powerful peak-stage Dao Emperor who was probably even stronger than the Grand Elder himself.
However, Shun Long hadn't expected that the old man on the bird's back was a Sovereign realm cultivator.
This was the first Sovereign realm expert that Shun Long had seen so far in the central region.
Whether it was the inner court Elders of the sect, Jiang Chen's father, Jiang Tianfang, or even the Grand Elder himself, none of them had managed to breakthrough to the Sovereign realm yet and become Sovereign realm experts.
From this fact alone, it wasn't hard to guess how difficult it really was for someone to become a Sovereign realm expert.
From the experts that most people in the Holy sect's territory knew of, only the sect master of the Holy sect was rumored to have reached the Sovereign realm.
