My Ability Pool is Superior

Inside the Qingwang Sect mountain gate.

After receiving the notification from Yu Xu Zi, the various Immortal Sect Spokespersons waiting in front of the mountain gate promptly headed up the mountain.

Due to the late hour, the streaks of shining rainbow light were particularly conspicuous.

Upon careful sensing, one would discover that these auras were at least at the Spirit Transformation True Lord level. Although Lu Bai was presiding, the Qingwang Sect disciples inside the mountain gate could not help but feel fearful.

Palace Front Plaza.

Numerous rainbow lights descended onto the plaza, revealing figures of extraordinary demeanor within.

Some wore Tongtian crowns and strode like dragons and tigers, others wore Daoist robes with yin-yang patterns, their auras profound…

To be precise, the overall strength of this group far surpassed that of the Immortal Sect alliance that had previously besieged Qingwang Sect.

It was merely because of Lu Bai’s strength that they were unable to resist, so they gradually restrained their own auras, indicating their attitudes.

It was worth mentioning that while these Immortal Sect Spokespersons waited outside the mountain gate, they had not been idle. As the daytime passed, they had secretly formed connections among themselves, agreeing that in case of any change of circumstance, they could huddle for warmth.

It was evident that the positioning of these Immortal Sect Spokespersons had clearly formed several distinct groups.

Those rogue cultivators standing alone or in small groups were instead the minority.

But one thing was the same: they were all quietly observing Lu Bai, who was seated cross-legged on the Dao Seeking Stone.

These Sect Leaders and Holy Lords did not dare to rashly converse with Lu Bai, so they chose to first build rapport with Yu Xu Zi, who was responsible for maintaining order.

Regardless of whether high-level cultivators possessed the power to move mountains, cross ridges, incinerate rivers, or boil seas, they were ultimately still human, not immortals.

Seeing various seniors and great powers who had never spared him a glance before now speaking to him in gentle tones, even Yu Xu Zi, the Sect Leader of Qingwang Sect, could not avoid feeling a bit elated.

“Fellow Daoist Yu Xu, it’s been a century since we last met. I hope you have been well.”

Yu Xu Zi could not suppress the smile on his face: “Xuanzhou is peaceful, and things have been fairly good.”

“Fellow Daoist Yu Xu, I’ve long admired your great reputation. I hear you have considerable expertise in formations. How about we sit and discuss the Dao another day?”

“The Sect Master of Spirit Array Sect overpraises me. My meager skills are not worth mentioning.”

“No matter, no matter. We can mutually verify and surely gain something.”

Someone felt the atmosphere was good and asked in a lowered voice: “May I ask Fellow Daoist Yu Xu, I wonder what exactly is the arrangement for our Grand Elder Lu of your sect summoning us here?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately became quieter, with clearly many great powers turning their attention to Yu Xu Zi.

Yu Xu Zi lowered his gaze. He was not stupid, of course he knew the reason for these fellow Daoists’ enthusiasm toward him.

“Everyone, rest assured. Our sect’s Elder Lu is not some bloodthirsty demonic figure. As long as you all follow Elder Lu’s regulations, there will be no bloodshed.”

The Immortal Sect high-level officials present did not relax because of this.

After all, in many cases, their own lives had to be placed second.

Fortunately, Lu Bai did not keep them worried for long. After everyone was all present, he scanned the area.

His gaze swept over the hundreds of Spirit Transformation, Body Integration, and even Mahayana cultivators on the plaza. Apart from a few Immortal Sects that had escaped or stubbornly not come, it could basically be said to encompass all the Immortal Sect factions of Xuanzhou.

Lu Bai stood up, lightly smiling as he spoke. His voice was not loud, but bolstered by magic power, it ensured transmission to every person’s ears present.

“I am Lu Bai. Everyone may not have seen me, but you should all have heard of my deeds.

So everyone can rest assured. I invited you all here naturally not for the convenience of eliminating you all at once.”

At these words, some commotion appeared on the plaza.

Everyone was smart and could naturally hear the implication in Lu Bai’s words.

Lu Bai had no intention of enforcing discipline and continued.

“I am simply dissatisfied with the current situation. Whatever so-called immortal path supremacy—this is very bad, and I presume everyone knows it clearly. Looking across all of Xuanzhou, low-level cultivators struggle for survival, merely pursuing that faint hope of becoming an immortal. Mortals without spiritual roots are lifelong slaves, barely able to make ends meet, and must pray for good luck not to encounter cultivator spellcasting battles, otherwise they die without knowing how. High-level cultivators similarly lack freedom…

…Only upon reaching the Mahayana Stage can one barely be called carefree, yet heavenly tribulation still looms overhead, unable to fully relax. Everyone, ask yourselves honestly—is this really good?

…Therefore, I have come. With Qingtian here, I will establish laws. Everything will proceed according to regulations, seeking only for Xuanzhou’s cultivation world to unite as one, and for the people of the world to gain some respite.”

As the words fell, the entire scene was deathly silent.

Such remarks made the Immortal Sect high-level officials present sneer inwardly, yet they did not dare show it.

The reason was simple: they said a gentleman’s influence lasts five generations before fading. Even within the same family, beyond five degrees of mourning, they are no different from strangers. The power of time is that immense.

Everyone was an old monster who had lived at least several centuries, with indifferent dispositions. How could they believe in the justice and camaraderie Lu Bai spoke of.

They only felt Lu Bai was full of grandiose rhetoric.

Rather than making them believe Lu Bai intended to change the world, it would be easier for them to accept coercion and inducements aimed at annexing the various Immortal Sects.

However, facing an existence they could not defeat even at full strength, these Immortal Sect Spokespersons present could at most gripe inwardly and did not dare show it.

“Senior Lu’s righteousness is truly a model for Xuanzhou.”

The Golden Scale Holy Lord’s face was flushed, with an appearance of being deeply moved by the words and utterly excited, raising his right hand high: “My Golden Scale Holy Land is willing to follow Senior Lu and look to Senior Lu’s lead.”

Due to the Sect Leader of Taishi Sect now becoming a member of the Disciplinary Team, the representative sent by Taishi Sect had been replaced by a Grand Elder.

By his appearance, he was already at the end of his life, a scrawny old man who might sit in meditation and pass away at any time.

But this scrawny old man actually followed right after the Golden Scale Holy Lord in speaking, loudly echoing: “This old man has lived vainly for ten millennia. Today, receiving Senior Lu’s teachings, I finally know the value of truth, goodness, and beauty. How could my Taishi Sect not support this.”

The old senior’s quick kowtow left some Immortal Sect Sect Leaders dumbfounded, and they all hastened to voice their support, fearing being a step late and being resented by Lu Bai.

The scene instantly became extremely lively. To someone who did not know, it might seem like the gathering of worthies and abundance of the righteous from a storybook.

Of course, among them, there were still some senior great powers with grim expressions, standing silently in the crowd.

Unfortunately, under the current situation, even if they had opinions, they fundamentally did not dare voice them.

Lu Bai watched the scene on the plaza with a half-smile.

He knew these cultivators were not sincere, but he did not mind. After all, it was just a large-scale social experiment.

“Very good. You are all loyal ministers, with no treacherous ones.”
