Chapter 1606 - Ninth-Level Earth Immortal Realm
Liu Wuxie lost himself in the thrill of cultivation. While the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron devoured energy from the Seven-Treasure Glazed Stone, he drew on the pool's power and tempered his physique.
Even though he had achieved unity with heaven and earth, he still stood in its early stage, and formidable experts could still kill him if he faced them head-on.
After achieving unity with heaven and earth, Liu Wuxie could live as long as the heavens, as long as he never suffered fatal injuries and died.
Niu Yichang guarded the entrance while several elders came into view, and the elder guarding this place hurried back with them.
"Elder Niu, what are you trying to do? Are you going to disregard the sect's rule?" one of the arriving elders barked, accusing Niu Yichang of privately bringing someone into the Heavenly Aquatic Pool and violating the sect's rules.
"You'd better not meddle in this matter. I will explain to the Palace Lord myself," Niu Yichang said guiltily. Worry for his disciple had pushed him to make this extreme choice, and he believed only the Heavenly Aquatic Pool's energy could treat Liu Wuxie's injuries.
Sima An snapped, "The palace lord already knows about this matter, and he sent us to stop you from continuing this nonsense."
If the palace lord hadn't suffered such a catastrophic blow, he would have erupted long ago. But the Immortal Slaughter Palace desperately needed talent, and Niu Yichang held a high status. With over a dozen Heaven Gaze Realm elders already dead, the Immortal Slaughter Palace could no longer afford more losses, so the palace lord tolerated anything that didn't cross the line.
By labeling it “nonsense” instead of interrogating Niu Yichang openly, Sima An had already shown him enough consideration.
"That's about enough," Niu Yichang muttered. He was blunt, but he still knew when to stop, so he strode toward the Heavenly Aquatic Pool to retrieve Liu Wuxie.
By the time Sima An and the others arrived, Liu Wuxie had already put away the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, unwilling to risk them discovering it.
"Go explain yourself to the Palace Lord. The Palace Lord is furious now," Sima An said, then left with the other elders while Niu Yichang carried Liu Wuxie away behind them.
