Chapter 18

Gradually, the flying car approached the mountain gate of the Spirit Butterfly Sect. Immortal Su controlled the flying car, slowly landing. She glanced at everyone and said:

"According to past practice, I will send you to the outer sect. You will all become outer sect disciples of the Spirit Butterfly Sect and be taught the supreme cultivation methods of the sect. Then, you will cultivate diligently in the outer sect, strive for self-reliance, and those who perform outstandingly will be admitted to the inner sect, becoming true disciples of the Spirit Butterfly Sect, or you can cultivate hard to reach the Foundation Establishment realm, automatically becoming inner sect disciples of the Spirit Butterfly Sect."

Everyone knew these matters; they had been mentioned countless times in the Luo family. They all knew it was a necessary process. As long as they cultivated in the outer sect for a period, the elders of the Luo family would admit them into the inner sect, making them disciples of the Konyuan Peak. Therefore, no one paid much attention.

Seeing their expressions, Immortal Su smiled coldly and continued:

"By the way, there is one thing I must tell you. Three years ago, the disciples of the Lingqiao lineage on Konyuan Peak suffered a great calamity. Below the immortal ancestor Xiyi, all thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lingqiao lineage perished, including the six Foundation Establishment cultivators from your Luo family. In the Spirit Butterfly Sect, apart from Immortal Ancestor Xiyi and myself, only the five of you remain from the Luo family!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Luo Li let out a long breath, understanding the reason. No wonder the faces of the Luo family's patriarch and others were ashen at the time. Their greatest support, the so-called six ancestors of the Luo family, had all died three years ago!

Wait a moment, Luo Li suddenly realized. The Immortal Ancestor Xiyi of the Luo family had encountered a celestial fate a thousand years ago, but according to what Immortal Su said, he was at the peak of the Golden Core realm, with a lifespan of 1,080 years. In other words, the lifespan of Immortal Ancestor Xiyi had reached its limit. If he were to die, the Luo family would lose their backing and become commoners!

Upon hearing this news, Luo Xin and the others were all stunned. Luo Xin couldn't help but ask loudly:

"All dead? The six great ancestors of our Luo family are all dead?"

Immortal Su nodded and said, "All dead!" Her words carried a hint of cruelty!

Luo Lan, standing nearby, said foolishly, "But, but, our Luo family has seventeen cultivators at the Qi Condensation stage, and my grandfather is already at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage, about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Immortal Su replied, "At the peak of the Qi Condensation stage? Your grandfather is Luo Xinling, right? He's dead. In the great calamity, all six Foundation Establishment cultivators and seventeen Qi Condensation cultivators of your Luo family in the Spirit Butterfly Sect are dead. So, you are just ordinary outer sect disciples of the Spirit Butterfly Sect. Don't dream of having family protection anymore!"

In her words, Luo Li sensed a hidden hatred towards the Luo family. She was the beloved concubine of the immortal ancestor, so why would she hate the descendants of the Luo family so much?

Instantly, Luo Li analyzed the reason. Su Cai, who had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, was young, beautiful, and mastered the secret techniques of the Lingqiao lineage. She had a bright future. However, she had to become the concubine of a thousand-year-old man who was about to die. There must be a story behind this. Perhaps she was completely forced, and the fire at the city gate had affected the fish in the pond. Thus, she harbored a hidden hatred towards the Luo family, which explained her behavior along the way.

However, this was not Luo Li's concern. His task here was to understand the environment of the cultivation world, find a way to the Changzhou Tianmu Mountain in the Chu South region, and then leave to obtain the divine might inheritance of the Divine Might Sect!

As for the fate of the Luo family and Immortal Ancestor Xiyi, it was none of his business!

Luo Li was indifferent, but Luo Xin and the other four were completely stunned. They chattered among themselves, their imagined path of cultivation completely changed. Luo Lan couldn't help but cry, and when she cried, Luo Feng also started to cry.

At this moment, a clear sound rang out, and the flying car landed on a platform. The flying car continued forward, finally arriving at the outer sect's residence. This was a valley, covering ten miles, with rows of pavilions and buildings surrounding a central square.

Looking into the distance, following the mountain range upwards, two-story stone buildings were arranged in an orderly manner, spiraling up the mountain.

This was where the outer sect was located. The flying car stopped at the center of the square. In the center of the square, there was a water spring, continuously spouting water. The mist from the spring contained boundless spiritual energy, and taking a breath could make one feel comfortable for half a day!

Immortal Su extended her hand, and the flying car transformed into a stream of water, merging into her palm, becoming a silver sphere. Luo Li and the others stood on the square, having arrived at the outer sect of the Spirit Butterfly Sect.

At this moment, two elders arrived quickly. They were both outer sect officials and bowed to Immortal Su, saying:

"Passing through a thousand flowers, not a single leaf sticks to the body! Greetings, Immortal Lady!"

Immortal Su looked at them and said:

"Passing through a thousand flowers, not a single leaf sticks to the body! Elder Chen, these are the new disciples of the Luo family. According to the rules of the sect, they will start their cultivation in the outer sect."

One of the elders replied, "I understand, disciple."

Immortal Su nodded and said, "Good, very good! You five should cultivate diligently here. I hope you can soon break through the seven barriers and enter the first stage of the Qi Condensation realm, becoming cultivators and starting your path of cultivation!"

After saying this, she was about to turn and leave. Luo Li suddenly called out, "Grandma Ancestor!" His voice carried endless pleading!

Immortal Su almost left them there, never to care again, completely cold and heartless. Luo Li felt that this was a loss, so he had to gain some advantage. Therefore, he pleaded.

When Luo Li called out, Luo Xin and the others immediately moved away from him. Immortal Su had said that anyone who called her "Grandma Ancestor" would have their mouth torn. They were afraid of being affected by the fire at the city gate!

But Luo Li was not afraid. This was not on the flying car but in the outer sect. There were many cultivators in the distance, and everyone was watching. Immortal Su would not be so heartless. As the beloved concubine of the immortal ancestor, she had to maintain her dignity and would not let others mock her.

Sure enough, Immortal Su turned around and looked at Luo Li, her gaze flickering. This was almost moral coercion!

Luo Li pleaded, "Don't abandon us like this..."

Pitifully, Immortal Su shook her head and said to Elder Chen:

"Give them the treatment of third-class disciples. No one is allowed to bully them. If anyone bullies them, it will be a loss of face for the Su family!"

Elder Chen immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I understand!"

Immortal Su turned and left, not looking at Luo Li and the others again, disappearing in a few steps.

Elder Chen respectfully watched Immortal Su leave, then took a deep breath and turned to look at Luo Li and the others. In this turn, he seemed to change completely.

Originally, he seemed like a lapdog in front of Immortal Su, but in front of Luo Li and the others, he stood tall, as if he held immense authority.

Luo Li saw this and immediately understood. He respectfully clasped his hands and bowed:

"Disciple Luo Li, greeting the official!"

Then he bowed deeply!

Behind him, Luo Lan, Luo Feng, and the others had not reacted. They thought Elder Chen would treat them like he treated Immortal Su and did not think to bow. Even Luo Xin, who had been educated by Immortal Su, only勉强行了一个礼, 说道：“弟子洛欣，拜见老陈！”

These were the flowers in the greenhouse. The education of the Luo family had not considered this, as the young disciples of the Luo family had never needed to learn these things. With the support of their elders in the sect, their cultivation in the outer sect was just a formality. They never even glanced at the officials like Elder Chen or Elder Wang.

But now it was different. Elder Chen, seeing the attitude of Luo Xin and the others, coldly snorted and said in a low voice:

"Do you still think it's the same as before? The Luo family no longer exists!"

Then he said, "You few, follow me. I will take you to register. After that, you will officially become outer sect disciples and can receive the sect's secret techniques and disciple benefits."

After saying this, he did not even look at Luo Li and the others, walking towards a grand hall. This hall was solemn and majestic, with many engraved talismans on the outside, which should be defensive arrays, indicating its importance.

At the entrance of the hall, six young men were waiting. They were all wearing magical robes, with various runes occasionally flashing. They stood in a row, waiting respectfully.

Elder Chen brought them here and then entered the hall alone, leaving them to wait outside. They lined up with the six young men.

A tall young man on the opposite side looked at Luo Xin and the others, his gaze lingering on Luo Xin. He carefully examined the clothes they were wearing, which, although made of fine silk, contained no spiritual energy, indicating they were ordinary clothes. He then said:

"Hey, you country bumpkins, where are you from? There's no place for you here!"

When he said this, Luo Xin and the others were speechless, as they had once said the same to Luo Li. Now it was their turn to be said to them.

Luo Li felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. He looked at the six young men, analyzing them.

The tall young man glared at Luo Xin and shouted, "I'm talking to you, little girl! Answer me, where are you from?"

He glared and roared, his voice becoming more aggressive, trying to scare Luo Xin. The other young men behind him laughed, enjoying the spectacle.

Luo Xin, who had been a proud princess in the Luo family, had her pride shattered by Immortal Su. In this unfamiliar place, with her elders dead, she was scolded until her face turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing Luo Xin being scolded, Luo Feng took a step back, distancing himself from her. Luo Lan was secretly pleased, and Luo Ming wanted to stand up for Luo Xin but was hesitant due to the unfamiliar environment and the six opponents.

As Luo Li listened, he suddenly stepped forward and slapped the tall young man.

"Slap!"

A clear sound rang out, and the tall young man, holding his left cheek, took three steps back.

Luo Li said, "Shut up, you country bumpkin! There's no place for you to speak here!"

The tall young man cursed, "Damn, you dare to hit me!"

Luo Li smiled, "I hit you!" Then he raised his hand and slapped the young man again, "Slap!" on the right cheek.

He hit him! After careful consideration, Luo Li concluded that they were also waiting here, not yet admitted to the sect, and thus had the same status as him. If they had connections in the outer sect, they would have already been admitted.

Additionally, this young man was targeting Luo Xin, who had two spiritual roots, the best among the new disciples. By suppressing Luo Xin, he was leaving a mark on her, instilling fear to gain an advantage in future competitions in the outer sect.

Finally, Luo Li could sense that they were not alone. Elder Chen and others in the hall were watching them. Even before entering the outer sect, an invisible competition had already begun. The weak were prey, and the strong survived. This was the cultivation world!

Therefore, Luo Li took action. This was already the Central Earth, and there was no need to hide his abilities. When it was time to act, he acted, and he was showing everyone!
