Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 184: Assemble

Chen Shouyi was seething with anger. He knew that Yong Ji was sent by the sect to protect Mi Xiaojing. Now, in the eyes of the sect\'s higher-ups, Mi Xiaojing was a precious gem, and they would never allow him to be harmed.

His anger burned like a flame, assaulting his heart in waves.

Upon further reflection, Chen Shouyi felt a wave of sorrow. The Heart Sect was a microcosm of the Cultivation World. Once you lost a certain status, it was extremely difficult to regain it. He had served the sect for so many years, not to mention his contributions and hard work, even a word of comfort would be good. But the higher-ups of the sect simply ignored him.

"Just give me a chance, and I\'ll kill you!" Chen Shouyi thought, his head lowered, teeth gritted.

Someone at the entrance of the main hall said, "Foundation Establishment cultivators stay outside, those at the Foundation Establishment stage enter the main hall."

Mi Xiaojing had just stopped when Yong Ji said, "You don\'t have to stay outside, come in with me."

Many people around heard Yong Ji\'s words and looked at Mi Xiaojing curiously. Many of them had seen Mi Xiaojing before and suddenly realized that this child was currently the favorite in the eyes of the sect\'s higher-ups.

There were also many people who didn\'t recognize Mi Xiaojing. Seeing his attire, they knew he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and couldn\'t help but ask the people around them.

Immediately, discussions broke out.

A group of Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered outside the main hall, chattering away.

"Who is this? So young... and already at the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Why can he go in? He\'s not a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, huh... isn\'t that Elder Yong next to him?"

"Who is that next to Elder Yong?"

"You guys don\'t even know this? That kid is a Pill Master from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, a master of Alchemy!"

"Don\'t talk nonsense, I believe he\'s a Pill Master, but a master of Alchemy? Isn\'t Uncle Chen Shouyi an Alchemy Grandmaster..."

"I\'m not sure about the rest, but I know that Uncle Chen can\'t refine Spirit Pills for the Elemental Infant stage, hehe, but this kid can!"

"What\'s his name?"

"Mi Xiaojing!"

"That\'s... impressive. Spirit Pills for the Elemental Infant stage... that\'s terrifying. Is he a reincarnated senior?"

"I heard he\'s not. Reincarnated people usually have someone to guide them. This kid was brought back from a small Evolutionary Immortality sect and later converted to Cultivation... His cultivation speed, tsk tsk, we\'ve all been outdone. I heard this kid has great potential and a genius level of comprehension. He\'s currently a key cultivation target of the sect."

...

"He really went in, he entered the main hall..."

"Damn it, I\'m at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, but I\'m still standing outside the main hall, while a kid gets to go in. I\'m so embarrassed..."

"Embarrassed... and you\'re still standing in front of me!"

Outside the main hall, Tian Cang also saw this scene and was quite shocked. He remembered that when he first returned to the sect, he had a fight with Mi Xiaojing over a residence.

Although he lost miserably, he didn\'t think Mi Xiaojing was anything special. But now he knew he was wrong. Mi Xiaojing was not someone he could compare to.

Another person was also watching Mi Xiaojing, and that was Han Chang. He was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment and had a hand in destroying the Western Evolutionary Sect.

Seeing Mi Xiaojing enter the main hall, Han Chang felt a surge of unease. He regretted not killing all those children back then. But regret was useless now. Mi Xiaojing\'s growth made him feel a great threat, especially since he had once blocked Mi Xiaojing\'s path.

Unfortunately, he didn\'t recognize Mi Xiaojing back then, nor did he see his potential. Otherwise, even if he didn\'t kill Mi Xiaojing, he would at least severely injure him and hinder his progress.

A shadow flashed in his eyes, and Han Chang made up his mind. If he had the chance, he would not let Mi Xiaojing continue to grow. Killing him would solve all problems. Since he had destroyed his sect, he would also destroy him if he had the chance.

Upon entering the main hall, Mi Xiaojing realized that the Heart Sect had so many Foundation Establishment cultivators. It seemed like a general mobilization this time, with at least a hundred Foundation Establishment experts in the main hall.

Mi Xiaojing\'s position was interesting. He and Yong Ji sat cross-legged behind Yu Hong. The other Foundation Establishment Ancestors all sat cross-legged in the main hall, with clear ranks. Those sitting in the front were at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, with only eight people, six men and two women.

The second to third rows were occupied by late-stage Foundation Establishment Ancestors, nineteen in total. Sitting in order, Mi Xiaojing noticed that Chen Shouyi was sitting in the corner of the last row. He was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was considered a junior brother to the other Ancestors.

Chen Shouyi sneaked a glance at Mi Xiaojing, his heart bleeding with hatred. This was sitting behind Elder Yu Hong! It made him jealous and hateful to death.

If he could also refine pills for the Elemental Infant stage, what kind of status would he have in the sect! He wished he could slap Mi Xiaojing to death.

Sect Leader Mo Chentian said, "Everyone knows that our sect has been in turmoil recently. This is a challenge for our Heart Sect. No matter what, we must give it our all."

"Once the Nine Peaks and One Mountain encounter external enemies, the protective sword formation of the Nine Peaks will be activated immediately. We can\'t care about that now. As for the sect\'s protective sword formation, it can also be activated for a short time, not exceeding three days. After that, each peak will have to rely on its own strength to resist. At all costs, we must protect each peak!"At this moment, Mu Hengyuan walked out from behind and silently sat next to the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden. Mi Xiaojing stole a glance at him, noticing his pale complexion. He knew that although Mu Hengyuan had been treated in time, he had not fully recovered.

Mo Chentian glanced at Mu Hengyuan and gave a slight nod before continuing, "The people of the Vast Gold Sect will surely bring their defeated remnants this time. In this battle... we will completely annihilate them!"

Yu Hong said solemnly, "Listen well, this is a life-and-death battle between sects. Whoever dares to flee during the battle, no matter where they hide, I will find them! For the sake of the sect, fight to the death!"

A tremendous pressure emerged, causing every Foundation Establishment cultivator to bow their heads and say in unison, "Yes, we will fight to the death!"

Mo Chentian said, "Each peak should assign two to three Foundation Establishment disciples to guard the sect\'s main hall. The safety of the main peak is related to the survival of the sect. In addition, some Foundation Establishment disciples should also be sent over. After the sect\'s large formation stops, the sword formation of the main peak will be activated. I need these people to guard the sword formation!"

"Everything must be arranged within today. Whoever fails to complete the task, I will find them!"

"Yes, Sect Leader! We guarantee to complete the task!"

Mi Xiaojing was observing secretly. He found that these core forces of the sect were neither excited nor impassioned. No one stood up to speak, they simply responded to the Sect Leader\'s words. They did not show the spirit of fighting to the death.

Mi Xiaojing was very puzzled, so he asked Wang Weijun for advice.

The first sentence from Wang Weijun left Mi Xiaojing stunned.

"Cultivation is not easy!"
