There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

Gu Xia randomly chose a spot and made her move without warning.

In an instant, the secret realm trembled even more violently, as if it would shatter into pieces at any moment, and the signs of its imminent collapse were particularly obvious.

The Floating Life Sword spun slightly in his palm, and in an instant, even space itself seemed to freeze. The sword's edge swept across the air, effortlessly slicing out a sliver of light.

With a ripple in the air, she cleaved open a seemingly irregular exit with a single sword stroke.

A profound Daoist aura flowed around, and the entire secret realm quickly lost its balance, with large chunks of the mountain collapsing and sliding down, visibly descending into chaos.

"..."

This was the first time I had ever directly experienced the destructive power of the Tribulation Transcending Stage.

As the saying goes, an unknown secret realm originally has no exit, but as Gu Xia splits through it more and more times, an exit appears.

What are you still standing there for?

Gu Xia: "Are you planning to bury everything here instead of going out now?"

Instantly, it reminded everyone of Gu Lanyi's words earlier. The disciples' lips twitched violently, and their gazes briefly met in mid-air.

The next second, they acted decisively, rushing towards the exit.

joke?

Who would want to be buried in this godforsaken place if they weren't out of their mind?

As the disciples jostled and pushed, Gu Xia subconsciously glanced back at the precarious scene behind her the moment she stepped out.

She raised an eyebrow and walked away without looking back.

It really is a cruel twist of fate.

Qu Yimian almost caused her to go mad with demonic energy, and in the end, she herself was completely entangled by demonic energy.

Despite all the schemes she devised to force Gu Xia to leave the Qingyun Sect, she ended up being expelled from the righteous path for betraying the sect.

Past karmic obstacles have backfired on me.

And now.

Gu Xia sacrificed himself to overcome the tribulation, falling like a sword cleaving mountains and rivers.

From then on, this unknown and mysterious place had a name.

—This is called cause and effect.

The secret realm behind them began to collapse violently again. The great demons, who were still further away, were dragged by an invisible suction force, and their screams were terrifying.

Ultimately, however, it could not change the fact that it was buried deep underground.

Gu Xia took a step out, leaving the exit shrouded in sword light behind, leaving everything from the past behind.

Years of grudges have gradually faded away.

Looking back.

The pitch-black scene shifts, and the treacherous secret realm returns to the earth, plunging into eternal night.

When I looked up again, the road ahead was dazzling.

Meanwhile, the cultivators outside also noticed the changes in their surroundings.

Suddenly, a bright sword light burst forth from the sky above the already earth-shaking secret realm.

The heavy, oppressive thunderclouds gathering overhead were now easily cleaved open by a single sword strike, like a curtain.

A ray of sunlight poured down from it, spreading out for tens of thousands of miles.

In an instant—

A myriad of sounds arise from the mountains, a single star shines on the water.

*

The dark clouds that had been hanging over everyone in the cultivation world suddenly dissipated, and everyone's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's out?"

The head of the Xu family didn't bother pacing back and forth anymore. He excitedly grabbed the arm of the head of the Ye family next to him. The force of his grip was so great that the head of the Ye family gasped sharply in pain, and his expression twisted for a moment.

"..."

He almost lost his composure and roared out on the spot.

This simple-minded, muscle-bound brute is a complete idiot!

The next second, an exit suddenly appeared in the secret realm, and several streams of light flew out from it, which were the long-lost disciples.

Before the heads of the various families could even show their joy, they were quickly drawn to the commotion that erupted behind them.

The brilliant golden totem blotted out the sky, and under its powerful pressure, the Daoist aura of the tribulation caused the unsuspecting cultivators present to tremble.

The gap in their realms was like an insurmountable chasm, and this group of powerful figures, who were respected by others, showed deep awe on their faces at this moment.

Even though Gu Xia is still so young now.

Under the scrutiny of all sorts of eyes, no one doubted the authenticity of the previous news anymore. Gu Xia made no attempt to conceal her strength, and the power she displayed shocked all the cultivators present.

"The Taiyi Sect is truly lucky." A powerful figure said with a hint of sourness, "They actually managed to get such a precious disciple like Fang Jinxing."

The only explanation for Gu Xia and the disciples of the Five Sects being able to emerge unharmed is that all the great demons who chased after them were left inside.

Such a terrifying number of casualties would be a significant loss even for the demon race.

What's more, those who died were all top-tier combatants among the demon race.

After this incident, the demon race will likely have to retreat to the demon realm to lick its wounds for at least another hundred years, and will never dare to approach the cultivation world again.

As for the Taiyi Sect, with Gu Xia's presence, its status as the number one sect in the cultivation world is even more unshakable.

What this great being said is not wrong. Back when they were cultivating, they were not completely unaware of the other party's temperament. Therefore, even though the person was not in front of them, they could imagine the other party's smug face just by imagining it.

I'm so annoyed, but there's nothing I can do.

Why isn't such a talented disciple one of theirs?

Many powerful figures couldn't help but sigh with regret.

But the next second, the overwhelming pressure from above caused some people to have different thoughts.

If Gu Xia is truly their disciple, then after hundreds of years of hard work and cultivation, they are still inferior to a junior.

That's when I really couldn't hold my head up high.

"Look at your sour faces."

A stunningly beautiful and charming female senior glanced at them, her tone slightly sarcastic, "The Taiyi Sect is lucky, but that's because their master isn't the kind of person who looks down on others."

She had heard that this disciple named Gu Xia was originally from the Qingyun Sect.

Well deserved.

She always thought that Yue Ming, that pretentious sword cultivator, had bad taste.

And this has indeed proven to be true.

Besides, we're all ancient foxes, why are we playing these ghost stories?

They know perfectly well what each other is thinking, having known each other for so long.

Many people were struck by her blunt words and their expressions turned sour.

The powerful beings did not deliberately conceal their voices during the conversation, so the disciples not far away also heard the female senior's words.

"Senior Brother."

Bai Song selectively forgot the painful experience of being rebuked not long ago, and subconsciously said, "It seems like she called Master a dog."

Gu Lanyi: "..."

He held back for a moment, "Shut up, she insulted Master but not you, right?"

"If you don't speak, no one will know that Master is a dog."

After Gu Lanyi finished speaking, she realized what she had said in a moment of carelessness.

He remained strangely silent for two seconds, then readily reassured himself.

It's alright, since Master isn't here right now anyway.

"..."

The others looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Good guy.

This guy's sharp tongue is so biting, he doesn't even spare his own master.

The Taiyi Sect members listened with great interest.

Ye Suian took out a folding fan and fanned himself in front of him, sighing, "You really are Sect Master Yue's best disciple." He's so filial to him.

He seemed sincere, but in reality, he was stirring up trouble and didn't care if things got heated. He nudged Gu Lanyi with his elbow and said with great interest, "Hey, where are the morals? Where are the bottom lines? Where is the applause?"

Gu Lanyi: "..."

He uttered a single word from his throat, expressionless: "Get out!"

Gu Xia was the last one to emerge from the secret realm.

She suppressed her emotions and, as soon as she looked up, her divine sense swept over a large group of cultivators.

"???"

what's the situation?

……
