Chapter 1234: Chapter 1238: Wang Liang Arrives

In the Osmanthus Sect’s grand hall, Wang Liang sat in the wooden chair.

Even though his cultivation had reached the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation, he still maintained humility within the Osmanthus Sect.

For this was where Xia Liu’s sect resided.

Moreover, before entering here, he had traversed through the Imperial Sky Guarding Array.

Regarding the formation here, he couldn’t comprehend it at all.

While passing through the array, Wang Liang felt an immense pressure.

It made his heart and soul tremble with fear.

The power contained in this array was not inferior to the Mountain Protection Array of the Immeasurable Sect.

To possess such an array, one could imagine the profound foundation behind the Osmanthus Sect and Xia Liu.

Of course, all this was Wang Liang’s speculation.

He didn’t know that this array was arranged by Xia Liu.

Faced with the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Liang, Guo Po’s hand trembled as he held the tea.

If his guess was correct, Wang Liang and Xia Liu were cultivators of the same system.

Furthermore, Wang Liang’s cultivation was more profound than Xia Liu’s.

“Elder Guo, what has Daoist Fellow Xia been busy with recently?”

Taking advantage of Xia Liu’s absence, Wang Liang planned to quietly learn about Xia Liu’s circumstances.

“He hasn’t been busy with much, just arranging the Imperial Sky Guarding Array.”

Guo Po replied calmly.

“Hmm? What does that mean?”

Wang Liang suddenly felt a tinge of panic, as if he was about to hear an unbelievable piece of news.

“The Guardian Formation you just passed through was set up by Elder Xia not long ago.”

“Crack!”

As Guo Po’s words fell, a crisp sound spread within the grand hall.

Wang Liang’s teacup shattered and fell to the ground.

“Are you saying that this Guardian Formation was arranged by Daoist Fellow Xia!”

Wang Liang could hardly believe his ears; Xia Liu could actually set up formations!

And it was a formation that even he dreaded!

Unbelievable!

Unbelievable!

As a cultivator, Wang Liang understood the rarity of a formation master.

In the current era, a formation master was akin to a dinosaur.

Because there were none!

However, Xia Liu broke this notion.

The Guardian Formation he set up was difficult for even a fifteenth-level cultivator to overcome.

How much more was he hiding?

Thinking of these, Wang Liang felt a chill at his back.

This visit, he couldn’t tell whether it was right or wrong…

Watching Wang Liang’s astonished expression, Guo Po smiled bitterly.

It seemed that within that system, there were indeed not many strong individuals capable of setting up formations.

Thus, Xia Liu’s future was truly unpredictable.

“Daoist Fellow Xia is coming!”

Swept by shock, Wang Liang’s divine sense detected Xia Liu approaching the mountain gate.

Xia Liu immediately noticed Wang Liang’s divine sense, and after communicating, he swiftly employed his movement technique.

Within a short while, Xia Liu appeared in the grand hall.

“Sect Master Wang, it’s been a while, are you well?”

“Ha! Daoist Fellow Xia is truly young and promising, able to set up such a guardian formation!”

Wang Liang pointed towards the sky outside and remarked.

“Heh, just a stroke of luck.”

Xia Liu smiled gently.

“Oh, something’s not right. There’s considerable spiritual energy fluctuation from behind the mountain gate, is that a Spirit Gathering Array?”

Wang Liang, experienced and knowledgeable, immediately sensed the change in the world behind the mountain and asked with a puzzled look.

“Hmm, just a small Spirit Gathering Array, nothing noteworthy.”

Xia Liu didn’t conceal it, knowing that Wang Liang must have inquired from various sources before coming here, hiding it would only be hypocritical.

“Oh my! Daoist Fellow Xia, you’re simply terrifying!”

Wang Liang’s pupils imperceptibly contracted, as he could no longer estimate Xia Liu’s potential.

Months ago, he met him for the first time.

Back then, he demonstrated extraordinary tactics, effortlessly breaking through the Xuantian Sect’s super guardian formation.

The Xuantian Sect’s Sect Master, Ye Tiande, fled immediately upon seeing him.

All these were achieved by Xia Liu alone.

His potential was unfathomable.

The Immeasurable Sect’s invitation to Xia Liu this time brought some reluctance to Wang Liang’s heart.

And also some fear.

Fear that the Immeasurable Sect might follow Xuantian Sect’s footsteps.

For Xia Liu possessed that potential.

“Sect Master Wang has praised me too much, I’m merely lucky.”

“Alas, Daoist Fellow Xia is just too modest. In my youth, having even a fraction of your ability would have made me ecstatic.”

“Hehe, let’s put that aside. I’m curious about what brings Sect Master Wang to the Osmanthus Sect today?”

Xia Liu’s expression became serious.

If Wang Liang came specifically to invite him to the Immeasurable Sect.

This journey should be approached with caution.

“To be honest, my Honored Master has been very pleased since hearing about Daoist Fellow Xia, but he’s been eagerly waiting for your visit. Thus, he sent me to invite you over.”

Wang Liang smiled bitterly.

In truth, he also didn’t want Xia Liu to go to the Immeasurable Sect right away; the longer the delay, perhaps the better for both sides.

“Oh, so that’s the matter. I’ve long planned to visit the Immeasurable Sect, but I’m uneasy without formation protection here at the sect.”

“Daoist Fellow Xia need not explain, I understand completely. Coming here today, I was the one being discourteous.”

Wang Liang interrupted Xia Liu.

“It can’t be said that way. Since I’ve agreed, I should make haste to fulfill the appointment.”

“Daoist Fellow Xia, I understand your intentions. To express my apology, I’ve brought some resources this time, hoping Chief Xia can forgive me.”

“Uhh…”

As several large chests appeared out of thin air in the grand hall, Xia Liu found himself at a loss for words in responding to Wang Liang.

This fellow indeed was discourteous, but his actions left Xia Liu with no reason to divert and criticize him.

“Daoist Fellow Xia must accept these, it’s not only to express my apology but also to show my Honored Master’s sincerity towards Daoist Fellow Xia.”

“How should I interpret this?”

“My Honored Master anticipated that this might delay Daoist Fellow Xia’s time, so he asked me to bring some resources. Chief Xia’s talent is frightening, though you might not need them, but the sect disciples will.”

Wang Liang patiently explained.

“Haha, your Honored Master is thoughtful. Since that’s the case, let’s not discuss more, give me some time to prepare a small gift.”

“Hehe! That’s wonderful!”

Wang Liang did not know what more to say; Xia Liu was far easier to converse with than he had imagined.

Subsequently, Xia Liu instructed Guo Po to take those large chests away.

He wondered what might occur during this visit.

Since the Immeasurable Sect had offered resources, it was natural to accept them.

Not taking advantage is foolish.

After arranging for Wang Liang’s rest, Xia Liu controlled his sword and flew away from the mountain gate.

He wanted to move beyond the range of Wang Liang’s divine sense.

Before heading to the Immeasurable Sect, he had to arm himself properly.

The soul body within the Flowing Fire Sword had been extracted; future applications of Karmic Fire and Sword Drawing Technique would no longer have illusory realm effects.

Without those effects, he had no ability to challenge a fifteenth-level cultivator before lifting his seals.

Thus, to ensure safety, Xia Liu decided to try a certain thought of his.

If successful, this journey would carry no fears…
