Sword Pill Sect!

"Su Zhan, that's Liu Badao!"

Chen Changfeng pointed towards the tall middle-aged man on the Black Flame Eagle and said, "Liu Badao was once a famous genius with extraordinary talent. He possesses the Domineering Tyrant Holy Body. Although he is not a pure body cultivator, his physical strength is much stronger than that of an ordinary God Transformation cultivator!

Over forty years ago, he defeated all the strong experts of the God Transformation realm at the Cultivation Conference and was recognized as the expert in the Tiannan region. Currently, his cultivation should be at the peak of the first transformation of the God Transformation realm!"

"The peak of the first transformation of the God Transformation realm... Who is the person next to him?"

Su Zhan's gaze was directed towards an old man standing next to Liu Badao, and his sharp spiritual power made him feel that the old man seemed stronger than Liu Badao.

"That person..."

Chen Changfeng looked carefully and shook his head, "I don't know. I have never seen the old man or the young man next to him before. They shouldn't be from the Liu family. However, for some reason, they also used the Liu family's Black Flame Eagle to come to the Cultivation Conference. There seems to be something unusual about them!"

"Indeed, those two have never appeared at the Cultivation Conference before. However, they might be powerful experts hidden within the Liu family. Let's wait for Liu Badao to introduce them himself. It would be impossible not to introduce the members of the Liu family participating in the Cultivation Conference for the first time," Qin Jincheng said.

"That makes sense."

Chen Changfeng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Soon, the Black Flame Eagle landed in the square, and Liu Badao and the others disembarked from it. The Black Flame Eagle flew away and headed towards the nearest mountain peak.

A total of seven people from the Liu family came, and when combined with the four people on the Wu Kingdom's Stone Stage, there were a total of eleven people.

After they sat down, Liu Badao, a tall and bearded figure, glanced at the other fourteen stone platforms and spoke, "Everyone, I know you must be curious why I advanced the timing of the Cultivation Conference. Actually, I did it entirely for the benefit of all of you!"

For our benefit?

Upon hearing these words, many cultivators became excited and paid extra attention.

Seeing this, Liu Badao wore a satisfied expression and continued, "Everyone should know that our Tiannan region has run out of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and we lack the precious resources from heaven and earth. As a result, it takes centuries for a second transformation of the God Transformation realm expert to appear, and even those who have reached the first transformation of the God Transformation realm are very few!

Furthermore, as God Transformation cultivators, our flying limit in the air is only a few thousand kilometers. If we fly too high, we will be suppressed and injured by the spiritual pressure exerted by the spiritual world, possibly even to the point of death!

At an altitude of a few thousand kilometers, not to mention the countless powerful monsters in the Tiannan mountains, even some demonic beasts can attack us through special means. Over the years, except for those who have reached the second transformation of the God Transformation realm and a few lucky ones, everyone else who attempted to leave was devoured by demonic beasts, leaving no trace behind!

We, as cultivators from the Tiannan region, are trapped in this remote place, like frogs at the bottom of a well, unable to see the outside world!

But all of this is about to change. The young man sitting next to me is Young Master Chen, the young master of the Sword Pill Sect, a major sect outside the Tiannan mountains!

While searching for spiritual herbs in the Tiannan mountains, he accidentally discovered a safe passage across the Tiannan mountains!

At that time, all of you will have the opportunity to go to the outside world and break through your limits!"

After hearing Liu Badao's words, the cultivators were immediately shaken!

"We can leave the Tiannan region?"

"That's great! There is very little information about the outside world in the Tiannan region, but it is said that the outside world is much stronger! Some major sects even have a saint!"

"Saint! Beings who have achieved transcendence!"

"Going to the outside world is undoubtedly a good thing, but are there no other conditions?"

"Brother Liu, if there are any conditions, please mention them clearly!"

...

After the excitement subsided, everyone became quiet, and a powerful expert surnamed Li immediately asked Liu Badao.

"So, it's Brother Li! Of course, there are conditions."

Liu Badao smiled and said, "But it's not a big issue. Young Master Chen only hopes that all of you and your forces will respect the Sword Pill Sect in the future, pay tribute every year, and surrender the secret domain of the Dark Star Forest that we control to the Sword Pill Sect.

As for the Dark Star Forest, it is useless to us as it can only be entered by cultivators below the Core Yuan Realm!

And isn't it normal for the weak to submit to the strong and respect the Sword Pill Sect?

Furthermore, by joining the Sword Pill Sect, we will gain access to more cultivation resources. It's a great opportunity!"

After Liu Badao finished speaking, the previously enthusiastic cultivators had gloomy expressions.

"What do you mean the Dark Star Forest is useless? That's where we cultivate the future geniuses! Are the people born in the Core Yuan Realm? Haven't we all advanced step by step through cultivation?"

"Senior Liu, we cultivators represent our respective countries. How can we abandon our dignity and submit to outsiders?"

"Even though I haven't read many books, I know the principle that a warrior can be killed but not humiliated! Now they want us to become dogs and willingly give the future of our younger generation to outsiders while still smiling!"

Dissatisfied voices were heard one after another.

Li Su, an expert in the God Transformation realm from the Li clan, who had initially asked Liu Badao, angrily said, "Liu Badao! You are an example to every cultivator in Tiannan! What has happened to your dignity? You yourself have become a dog, and now you want tens of millions of people from the fifteen countries in Tiannan to become dogs with you!?"

"Li Su, you're asking for trouble!"

Liu Badao became angry and threw a punch towards Li Su!

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder echoed in the air!

The shining trace of the fist flew towards Li Su!

As a God Transformation realm expert ranked second only to Liu Badao, Li Su didn't want to show his weakness. He flew forward and slashed at the trace of the fist with his sword!

The sword's Qi surged, but it only lasted a moment against the trace of the fist before shattering!

"Second Transformation of the God Transformation Realm!"

Li Su's pupils narrowed as he blocked horizontally with his sword.

"Bang!"

His body was sent flying hundreds of meters and crashed to the ground. He coughed up blood and even struggled to stand!

"Second Transformation of the God Transformation Realm! Liu Badao has reached the Second Transformation of the God Transformation Realm!"

"No wonder! No wonder he dares to oppose the entire cultivation world of Tiannan and say such things!"

"It's over! The Second Transformation of the God Transformation Realm is the Pure Yuan Jade Bone, which strengthens the power of cultivators like him, who tend towards physical perfection, even further!"

"Even Li Su was severely injured by his blow, who can stop him?"

"Are we Tiannan cultivators really going to lose our dignity today and become someone else's dogs?"

"Damn it! Even if I die, I won't become a damn dog for the Sword Pill Sect! If I do that, my grandchildren, great-grandchildren, will never be able to lift their heads!"

...

Voices echoed one after another.

There was shock, fear, and anger.

But when Liu Badao released his holy body completely without hiding anything, pushing his power to the extreme, all those emotions turned into despair.

"Hmph! I'll tell you the truth. I can reach the Second Transformation of the God Transformation Realm because of the pills given by Young Master Chen!

You had a lot to say before. Why are you all silent now? Are you afraid of death?"

I'll ask one last time, is there anyone in the Tiannan cultivation world who dares to oppose the surrender of all our power to the Sword Pill Sect and the surrender of the Dark Star Forest?!"

Liu Badao's gaze swept across the stone platform.

Those he looked at bowed their heads, unwilling to meet his gaze, let alone voice any objections.

After sensing Liu Badao's terrifying power, capable of easily killing anyone present, everyone fell silent.

Some of them secretly glanced at Su Zhan but quickly dismissed the thought.

Although Su Zhan was tough, Liu Badao had reached the Second Transformation of the God Transformation Realm.

Moreover, considering the power of the Sword Pill Sect that could make someone like Liu Badao willingly become a dog, Su Zhan wouldn't have the courage or strength to confront such a giant...

Their gazes shifted, filled with despair.

Seeing this, Liu Badao sneered, "You useless bunch of dogs! You only show fear when I'm about to attack! Since none of you oppose it, from now on, you will obediently serve Young Master Chen and the Sword Pill Sect—"

"Wait."

At that moment, Su Zhan stood up, his gaze somewhat cold as it fell on the arrogant Liu Badao:

"I oppose."
