Chapter 471 Doubts, Suddenly Launching an Offensive
The words of the First Saint Master touched the emotions of the many powerful individuals present, leaving them somewhat moved.
It instantly softened the previously tense, confrontational atmosphere around them.
The cultivators below the Golden Core Realm were not yet aware.
But those of the same Golden Core Realm startled suddenly, becoming wary.
"This old guy, what a formidable Divine Soul Secret Technique! To be able to subtly and imperceptibly affect the hearts and spirits of so many strong individuals!"
A strong cultivator of the Golden Core Realm muttered in awe.
All those qualified to attend this grand gathering were formidable individuals.
The weakest among them were those who had reached the Great Success of Innate Realm.
Needless to say, their determination was resolute.
Yet, the words of the First Saint Master, displaying some unknown Divine Soul Secret Technique, managed to silently affect everyone's heart and spirit.
Even the Golden Core Realm cultivators present did not notice at first.
However, now that it was discovered, someone promptly intervened to prevent the First Saint Master from continuing.
Otherwise, the situation would once again fall under the control of the Holy Mountain.
At that moment, someone sighed: "What the Saint Master says is true; time is ruthless and fleeting.
Even we cultivators, at the slightest slack, could very likely find ourselves stuck in a bottleneck, unable to break through.
Ultimately squandering time and turning to dust.
Thus, for us cultivators to travel further on the path of cultivation, we must fight!
Compete with heaven, with earth, and even with man!
Seize every resource, transform it into our cultivation, to climb to the pinnacle of the cultivation path!"
The last few sentences were firm and murderous in intent.
Not only did they declare the speaker's determination, but they also completely swept away the atmosphere that the First Saint Master had just created.
Those present were shaken by the killing intent, immediately snapping out of their mournful moods.
They snapped to attention, subconsciously nodding in agreement with the words.
Indeed, the path of cultivation is an act of defying heaven, naturally, everything must be contested!
Upon realizing this, the atmosphere at the scene instantly turned solemn again.
Seeing the atmosphere he had just created being utterly destroyed in an instant,
the First Saint Master's eyes narrowed slightly, looking toward the direction of the voice.
They saw that it was an old man in a black robe speaking.
The aura emanating from him also carried a faint Golden Core pressure.
The First Saint Master, after a brief contemplation, remembered the old man's identity.
He smiled faintly: "So it is Mr. Meng from the Guiyuan Sect. I've heard Mr. Meng recently crossed a heavenly tribulation to achieve the Golden Core Realm. It is indeed worthy of celebration; our Righteous path has gained another Golden Core True Man."
"You flatter me, it was merely a lucky breakthrough. My meager cultivation cannot compare to you, Saint Master, the First Golden Core."
Meng Dian slightly bowed, speaking humbly.
According to records, the ages of the three Saint Masters of the Holy Mountain were at least over a thousand years.
Thus, even though Meng Dian was also of the Golden Core Realm, his address of the elders was appropriate.
However, his words stirred something in the hearts of the many powerful individuals.
Rumor has it that the First Saint Master was indeed the first person to cross the tribulation and achieve the Golden Core after the world's revival.
But whether he can bear the title of the First Golden Core is debatable.
After all, that person is still there.
Meng Dian's words seemed to be humble praise of the First Saint Master, but in reality, they were putting him in a bind.
It truly showed his sinister intentions.
Could it be that at this grand event, the Guiyuan Sect intends to challenge the Holy Mountain?
Sensing Meng Dian's attitude, some sharp-minded individuals immediately sensed something unusual.
And thinking of that individual, many people were once again moved and began to look around.
Yet, after observing, they seemed to find no trace of that legendary figure.
"Mr. Meng's words make this old man feel quite ashamed.
This old man merely took advantage of some age and has just cultivated a little longer, crossing the tribulation a bit earlier than you all.
The title of the First Golden Core, I absolutely dare not assume.
Now that the world is revived, talents emerge in large numbers, it won't be long before you all surpass this old man entirely."
In the face of Meng Dian's words with hidden malice, the First Saint Master did not get angry but smiled faintly.
Seeing that the First Saint Master would not take the bait, Meng Dian coldly chuckled.
He continued: "The First Saint Master is too modest. However, does the elder think that what I, the junior, just said, is reasonable?"
"Mr. Meng speaks very well. We cultivators do indeed need to compete, compete for opportunities, cultivation techniques, and that one thread of vitality."
The First Saint Master also expressed agreement with Meng Dian's earlier words.
Seeing the First Saint Master nod, Meng Dian revealed a slightly triumphant smile.
"Since the esteemed Saint Master also agrees, then this is perfect, as many sects from around the world are gathered here for this grand event.
We should take this opportunity to renegotiate how to divide this world!"
These words shocked the entire assembly.
No one expected that just as the grand event had begun, Meng Dian directly challenged, wanting to divide the world.
There were even those shocked at when the Guiyuan Sect became so daring.
Everyone turned to the First Saint Master to see how he would respond.
After all, the purpose of this grand meeting convened by the Holy Mountain was clearly stated in the invitations.
It was to invite allies from across the world to discuss and establish new rules and order.
The Guiyuan Sect's move was undoubtedly a direct provocation to the Holy Mountain.
If the First Saint Master didn't make any response, the authority of the Holy Mountain might suffer as a result.
However, to everyone's surprise, upon hearing Meng Dian's words, the First Saint Master's expression remained unchanged.
