Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

The scenic Mount Wutai has now been engulfed in demonic flames.

The three sects of Lingxiu Mountain, Cloud Snow Mountain, and Moonfall Mountain have not only rarely united but are also forcefully demanding that all sects within the Mount Wutai Range either submit or get out.

Such domineering and unreasonable demands naturally sparked a massive backlash from numerous sects.

"Sect Leader Wei!" A Golden Core True Person quickly came to report, "The Eight Trigrams Sect is stubbornly resisting and refusing to surrender!"

Wei Dongliu frowned, What, they dare to resist? What noble breed is this Eight Trigrams Sect?

So the Golden Core True Person quickly explained to Sect Leader Wei:

This so-called Eight Trigrams Sect is also a heterodox sect that joined the Mortal Life Path from the outside, also known as an external faction. Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire

Logically, since they are "lodging" on the territory of Mount Wutai, they should regularly pay protection fees... to be exact, rent for the territory.

But the Eight Trigrams Sect, adept in art calculation and scouting, always defaulted on the payments, swiftly packing up resources and fleeing whenever the three sects of the Mortal Life Path came to collect fees, leaving behind an empty sect headquarters for the Mortal Life Path.

The rent itself is not high and certainly not worth the effort of a Nascent Soul Elder to personally capture the Eight Trigrams Sect to recover it, but their behavior of taking advantage whenever possible is truly distasteful.

After silently listening to the explanation, Wei Dongliu sneered and said:

"Such cowards who fear power but do not appreciate kindness are just the right targets to make an example of!"

He pointed with his hand, and the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword flew above the Eight Trigrams Sect's headquarters. Then a large swathe of grey mist fell down, completely enveloping the vicinity for several miles.

The Minor Extermination Immortal Sword Formation!

Whether it was the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, the Blood Sea Trapping Immortal Sword, or the Nine Nether Slaying Immortal Sword, the seals and Daoist Magic on each of these swords were applied through their respective minor sword arrays.

If the four swords were gathered, the four different minor sword arrays, combined with the sword array formation map in the center, would form the supremely powerful Extermination Immortal Sword Formation—of course, this formation had to be led by an immortal; otherwise, if the rank was insufficient, it would be easily broken from the outside just like last time with Lei Caiyan.

At this moment, the people of the Eight Trigrams Sect were completely unaware of the impending disaster, still arguing endlessly in the main hall:

"How come no matter how we calculate it, everywhere seems to lead to a dead end?"

"Because the Mortal Life Path has already made it clear that they intend to wipe out the entire Mount Wutai. Where would they leave us a place to stay? Our only plan now is to leave Mount Wutai..."

"Mount Wutai has the richest spiritual energy! Without this place, where else could accommodate the Eight Trigrams Sect? I'm afraid we'll completely decline within a few generations!"

The dozens of arguing cultivators from the Eight Trigrams Sect were clearly divided into two factions.

One faction staunchly insisted on guerilla warfare, continuing to play hide and seek with the Mortal Life Path in the Mount Wutai area—after all, it's hard to give up the cultivation resources here.

The other faction was the unabashed escape faction, urging everyone to quickly run away, as Mount Wutai no longer had any place for the Eight Trigrams Sect.

While still arguing, a large expanse of grey mist suddenly spread into the hall from outside.

The Sect Leader of the Eight Trigrams Sect reacted the fastest, swiftly lifting the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Mirror and chanting:

"Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun—yin and yang reversed, protect my fellow sect members!"

This Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Mirror is also a wondrous magical treasure, capable of leveraging the Eight Trigrams Method to manipulate the Five Elements, thereby restraining most of the attacks in the world.

However, the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword is a rare, attributeless Immortal Sword that is not affected by the Five Elements and thus not subject to the restraint of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Mirror.

Wherever the light of the Eight Trigrams Mirror passed, the grey mist seemed to flow enragedly around it, quickly moving on either side to firmly surround the Eight Trigrams Sect cultivators in the center.

Then a mass of sword qi surged forth, mixed with the mist and shooting towards them!

The few Golden Core cultivators on the periphery were caught off guard and were immediately struck by the sword qi. They were cut and hacked as if by knives and axes, their bodies shattered instantly, and blood pooled on the ground.

The tragic deaths of these fellow sect members bought time for the cultivators in the middle, who were scrambling to take out their magical treasures and flying swords in a desperate attempt to defend themselves.

The Foundation Establishment disciples couldn't withstand even a single strike of sword qi.

Golden Core cultivators, on the other hand, could withstand three or four attacks before their magical treasures and flying swords scarcely began to fracture...

Huh, this Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword seems pretty strong!

Outside, Wei Dongliu was somewhat surprised. Could this be the power of an Eleventh Rank Immortal Sword?

It is well known that Eleventh Rank Immortal Swords are an unofficial term for those more famous, exceedingly powerful Tenth Rank Immortal Swords. Wei Dongliu's various aliases owned Immortal Swords that were more obscure.

The performance of the Green Duckweed Sword was like that of a Tenth Rank Immortal Sword; it didn't have any Daoist Magic that could instantly kill everyone upon drawing. The Tianyuan Yiqi Sword was only good for chopping people, not even equipped with any Daoist Magic.

The Huangting Kunwu Sword wouldn't acknowledge its master, and although it had Daoist Magic, it was unusable. The Myriad Demons Evil Spirit Sword was usable but was specifically powerful against soulless entities like Heavenly Demons, not particularly stylish in combat.

Only the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword, when the sword array was deployed, left corpses strewn all over the field; it was both brutally simple and impressive.

In a matter of breaths, all the cultivators of the Eight Trigrams Sect lay on the ground, leaving only the Sect Leader standing.

Suddenly finding himself alone, the Sect Leader roared as he activated the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Mirror, surrounding himself with brilliant light to fend off the surrounding sword qi attacks, as though he was preparing to release a powerful move.

Next, the fluctuations of spatial transmission appeared.

This fellow was pretending to unleash a powerful move in a desperate fight, but secretly, he was activating a Godspeed Talisman, opting for the best tactic of retreat... His figure hadn't yet disappeared in the light when he suddenly froze in place.

The next second, the sword qi from the sword array completely tore the Sect Leader of the Eight Trigrams Sect to shreds.

Wei Dongliu inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had let the other party escape his sword array, his reputation as a mysterious powerful figure would have crumbled.

But in the final moment, the other was strangely immobilized... Was it an illusion technique? So, was it the "Heavenly Demon Great Law" that caught him?

Wei Dongliu quietly turned his head toward Jiang Lian, who revealed a charming smile and slipped her small hand into his palm.

Knowing that his wife had contributed to their success, Wei Dongliu didn't rush to shake her off, but instead, in light of her recent help, he allowed her to hold on to his hand.

It wasn't that he lusted after her beauty; as a husband, it was only right to be clear about rewards and punishments.

A moment later, the sword array was withdrawn, and the grey mist dissipated on cue.

A few Golden Core True Persons from the Mortal Life Path landed in the devastated residence of the Eight Trigrams Sect and, after exploring the main hall for a moment, discovered that all enemies had been vanquished, including the Nascent Soul Realm Sect Leader.

That was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

From beginning to end, Sect Leader Wei had only raised and activated the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword and deployed a sword array... he hadn't even come face-to-face with the Eight Trigrams Sect!

This Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword... no, the strength of Sect Leader Wei, how terrifying is it???

The few Golden Core True Persons returned to the formation and reported the situation clearly to Wei Dongliu.

Wei Dongliu's expression remained unchanged, while the people around him revealed looks of shocked fear, seeing him almost as if he were a deity; they respected and feared him in equal measure.
