Ouyang Shuanger flipped her wrist, retrieving an ancient scroll from her Space Ring.
She took slow steps forward.
Seeing someone else taking the initiative to open the door, all the cultivators stepped aside, their hearts growing restless.
Such talents were too rare, and one couldn’t always wait for someone else to open the door; they had to seize this opportunity and rush in with this young girl.
“Miss, you can do it; you’ll definitely be able to open the door!”
“That’s right, it’s rare for someone so young to possess such attainment!”
“Compared to you, my foolish son is miles behind.”
Listening to the compliments from the surrounding cultivators, Ouyang Shuanger felt somewhat elated. In the past, such treatment had been due to her identity as a princess of Zhenyuan Country.
But today was different; in this Secret Realm, no one would know her real identity, and she had won everyone’s approval purely on her own strength.
A smile spread across her delicate face for a moment.
“Thank you all. I will do my utmost!”
With that, Ouyang Shuanger walked to the front of the door, took out the scroll, and prepared to start reading.
Li Xiaobai shook his head from behind; this woman was getting carried away, having lost her bearings after being flattered—could she not see that these people just wanted to take advantage of her to force their way through the bronze door?
A few people came forward, standing close to Ouyang Shuanger to ensure they could rush in at the first opportunity.
Ouyang Shuanger began to read aloud, and strands of white light flickered, shining upon the bronze door.
“In today’s world, national scholarship languishes, and the Confucian Path is in peril; it’s insufficient to cultivate a righteous spirit…”
“It has been twenty-one years since…”
The gentle and delicate voice of the woman gradually transformed into a man’s sigh. As the scroll was read aloud, a figure of a man in white appeared in the void, also holding a scroll, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if pondering something.
The surrounding cultivators suddenly came to their senses, snapping out of their entranced state.
“This is a work from a corner of Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s collection, the Liturgy Defiance Chart!”
“Who exactly is this woman to have elicited a vision from Great Immortal Zhenyuan!”
“To think we’d encounter the inheritance of a Confucianism Master on this trip—remarkable!”
The many cultivators were visibly shaken. Ouyang Shuanger was only at the Half-step Nascent Soul cultivation level, yet just a few lines from her had deeply drawn them in. Clearly, it was the effect of the scroll in her hands.
Wasn’t their purpose in entering the mini-world to find treasures of the ultimate Confucian sage?
Now, a treasure that presumably came from Great Immortal Zhenyuan was right before their eyes; the hearts of the cultivators were filled with impatient eagerness, wanting to snatch it immediately.
This was a relic left by Great Immortal Zhenyuan; it might be even more valuable than Beichen Feng’s Secret Realm!
But at that moment, a streak of light pierced through the darkness, and the bronze door cracked open again, creaking as it slowly swung open.
“Young Master Li, I’ve succeeded!”
Ouyang Shuanger’s face was filled with joy, completely unaware that disaster was looming over her.
Li Xiaobai said speechlessly, “Let’s go, get inside first. You’ve caught someone’s eye.”
“Indeed, miss, your talent is astounding…”
Yu Sanbian also spoke with a meaningful tone.
Ouyang Shuanger stiffened, realizing suddenly that the scroll in her hand had caused a phenomenon, which would certainly attract many cultivators’ covetousness. She quickly headed toward the world inside the door, not daring to hesitate.
“Stop, miss, leave the treasure behind!”
“Indeed, that’s not something you can control!”
“Hand over the treasure, and you shall be spared!”
The numerous cultivators roared from behind, their figures exploding with speed as they instantly attacked Ouyang Shuanger.
However, the moment they made contact with the door, everyone’s figure hesitated for an instant as lightning flashed and thunder roared in the void. Silver snakes danced chaotically, mercilessly striking down at the cultivators who dared to violate the treasure land.
“It’s the Heavenly Punishment!”
“Block the first wave of the Heavenly Punishment first!”
The cultivators were somewhat panicked, summoning their respective Magic Treasures to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.
Li Xiaobai and his group were also in the midst of it, and except for the Little Monk Liaowang, all were baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation.
[Attribute Points+1000…]
[Attribute Points+3000…]
Allowing the Heavenly Tribulation to strike them, it did not cause the slightest injury.
The power of the Heavenly Tribulation grew stronger and stronger, and the attribute points added kept increasing, but on the whole, it was still within the System’s defensive power capacity.
The effect was not bad.
Yu Sanbian drew his whip from his waist, shattering several strikes of the Heavenly Tribulation from the void with brute force, his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the world beyond the door in an instant.
“Gentlemen, I’ll go ahead, and wait for you on the other side!”
Ouyang Shuanger looked at the thunder dragon roaring wildly above and felt slightly unnerved, “Young Master Li, let’s hurry inside too.”
Li Xiaobai grinned, “No hurry, this batch of leeks has not been harvested yet!”
With a flip of his wrist, an ordinary looking longsword appeared in his hand, slowly raised above his head.
Monk Liaowang’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in a lost voice, “Master Li, do not casually commit killing, please stop your hand!”
Li Xiaobai’s move was too unexpected, Liaowang had never imagined that someone would choose to kill in such a dangerous place, and it was already too late to stop him.
Li Xiaobai sneered, “Master, if you don’t want to kneel, go ahead first; you can’t stop me.”
“These people wanted to murder and loot, for the sake of our future safety, today we must root out the problem!”
“Not even Jesus could save them, I say!”
Without waiting for Liaowang to react, he raised his sword and slashed down fiercely.
Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!
In just an instant, all the cultivators present abandoned their resistance to the Heavenly Tribulation and rushed madly toward Li Xiaobai’s position, kneeling on the ground with both hands raised high above their heads, ready to catch the sword.
Even Little Monk Liaowang and Ouyang Shuanger were no exception.
Their faces were filled with terror.
“What’s happening?”
“Why can’t I control my body!”
“I don’t know, I suddenly felt the urge to kneel and catch the sword, even with the Heavenly Tribulation ongoing!”
“Sword Imprisonment, Demon’s Wicked Sword, the Demon Sword, he’s the Demon Sword Li Xiaobai who soared nine thousand ranks in a single day on the leaderboard!”
“It’s him, ranked number one thousand, begging for a quick death – Li Xiaobai!”
The cultivators immediately recognized Li Xiaobai, their hearts filled with even more fear. They had received the message and knew of Li Xiaobai’s way of doing things – almost like a killing fiend.
Sword Imprisonment had become his signature move, and then there was his mount that liked to crush other cultivators, which had been the talk of the Secret Realm.
Li Xiaobai touched his nose, realizing he had become famous.
“Brother Li, as long as you spare me, I can hand over everything I’ve gained in the Secret Realm to you!”
“Yes, I am an Elder of the Three Mountains Sect. If you let me go, from now on, you will be an honored guest of our sect!”
The cultivators were terrified and anxious, kneeling was the least of their concerns now, as they couldn’t move and the Heavenly Tribulation above was far from over!
“Hehe, too late, once the Heavenly Tribulation has annihilated you, I will gain both fame and fortune!”
