Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Avoiding Dismissal all Thanks to my High Cultivation Level_1

The pressure of the Unification peak covered the entire banquet. Most people hadn’t even reached the Nascent Soul Stage in their lives and had never experienced such a level of pressure. Countless cultivators’ faces turned pale in an instant, their bodies wobbling, unable to stand steady, and they fell to the ground with a thud.

“Lie on the ground, try to increase the contact area with the ground as much as possible!” A government-officed cultivator exclaimed, guiding the people to minimize injuries.

Meng Jingzhou and Bai Ming, along with two others, held Spirit Treasures within them, counteracting the effects of Unification Stage pressure on their bodies.

These are the Spirit Treasures that each disciple of the Immortal Sect should have on hand. Meng Jingzhou held a stone shaped like Body Refinement Peak, Bai Ming held a five-colored disk, Lan Ting held a round moon embroidery, and Yan Tianzhi carried a palm-sized cage… Each of the Five Great Immortal Sects have its unique features.

When a disciple of an Immortal Sect goes out on behalf of the sect, if they kneel on the ground under the pressure of the Unification Stage, it dishonors the sect’s reputation.

Lu Yang was supposed to have a stone shaped like Sky Gate Mountain too. Still, with Fairy Eternity around, he wasn’t afraid of this level of pressure. Even if the Transcendance Tribulation Stage came, it wouldn’t suppress Lu Yang using pressure.

“What’s going on? Which Unification Stage isn’t cherishing life and daring to take action here?” Meng Jingzhou was taken aback. Generally, battling at the Unification Stage shouldn’t involve common people, or all the people of Great Xia would have been long dead.

Battles of the Unification Stage are world-shattering, the ground itself risks collapsing, let alone talk about ordinary people, even those with cultivation can’t resist that.

“It’s not a Unification Stage cultivator of this era, but one from the ancient times!” Lu Yang learned from Fairy Eternity, the source of the energy was two ancient Unification Stage cultivators, a man and a woman, brimming with hostility.

Bai Ming frowned: “That makes sense.”

He pointed to the source of the pressure and said: “That direction has a Secret Realm. Exploring the Secret Realm is part of this banquet. Someone probably explored the Secret Realm and woke up the slumbering ancient cultivators, who became enraged and sought to destroy everything.”

This was not the first time that this had occurred. To the ancient cultivators, why should they adhere to today’s rules? During their era, those at the Unification Stage had supreme power and were in control of the authority to take lives.

“Such audacity!” A roar of anger came from the horizon. It was the County Magistrate.

In the blink of an eye, the County Magistrate appeared above the crowd’s heads. He held up a large seal. A strange energy rose and dispersed the pressure from the ancient Unification Stage cultivators.

“Huh, such a peculiar power.” Fairy Eternity was surprised. She had never seen such energy before.

This was also the first time Lu Yang, Lan Ting and the others had seen such energy. Only Meng Jingzhou knew a little about it.

“This is the power of the State Destiny.” Meng Jingzhou explained.

“I’ve heard my family members mention that under the Great Xia Dynasty, there is a magical power. It’s the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty. Each County Magistrate and large county’s County Magistrate can mobilize this power temporarily for battles and protection. For this reason, the losses caused by the ancient Unification Stage can always be minimized each time.”

“Quite interesting.” Fairy Eternity observed and analyzed the power of the State Destiny with her immortal knowledge. The small amount of power the County Magistrate mobilized didn’t fascinate her. Still, if the entire Great Xia Dynasty was covered with such power, it would be an extremely terrifying energy, and that would be quite interesting indeed.

“Quite creative, apart from Miss Yun, there are also other strong individuals in this era.”

“You’re daring to cause trouble under my watch!” The County Magistrate’s beard and hair fluttered around, like an angry lion.

The male and female ancient Unification Stage cultivators were not afraid of the County Magistrate. They coldly said, “You’re playing the victim. It was clearly your people who woke us and made us wake up early. How did it become us causing the trouble?”

The male cultivator squinted his eyes, somewhat afraid of the County Magistrate and his large seal: “Looking at you, fellow cultivator, with your perfect primordial spirit, you’re not inferior to us and you also qualify to fight for the Great Era. You should also know how much our premature awakening has delayed us. Isn’t it right for us to kill a few people to vent our anger?”

“Of course not!” Another three people flew in from the horizon. They were all at the Unification Stage.

“Sect Leader Mi, Master Zhang, Dean Hong, you’ve arrived.” The County Magistrate saw these three people, his pressure greatly relieved. If a battle occurs, he might not be able to protect the cultivators attending the banquet below.

“That’s the Deputy Sect Leader of Mad Sect, the Deputy Master of Multi-storey Temple, and the Deputy Dean of Baihua Academy. They are all at the Mid-stage of Unification!” After the pressure effect was removed, everyone was able to stand up. A local great cultivator from Qingzhou recognized the identities of these three individuals, which was a great delight.

The Mad Sect, Multi-storey Temple, and Baihua Academy are the local sect forces of Qingzhou, and they are also the organizers of the Qingzhou banquet.

According to the custom, they sent deputy heads to participate in this event as a preventative measure. They were invited to stay at government residences and exchange cultivation experiences, talking happily. Unexpectedly, two ancient cultivators suddenly appeared.

Seeing the opposite party with more people and great momentum, and the County Magistrate could employ an unfathomable energy, the two ancient Unification Stage cultivators would not dare to fight recklessly for fear of accidents: “Humph, in that case, under consideration of the fellow cultivator’s prestige, we won’t insist on concluding this matter, we withdraw!”

After saying this, the two of them were ready to flee.

“Humph, you want to leave? Stay right here!” If these two people were let go, it would cause endless trouble in the future. The County Magistrate wouldn’t just let them leave.

The County Magistrate and the other three positioned themselves in the east, south, west, and north directions and surrounded the two ancient Unification Stage cultivators.

“Aren’t you worried about the safety of the people below?” The two ancient Unification Stage cultivators realized that the County Magistrate was different from them, prioritizing the protection of the weak cultivators.

The County Magistrate had already made preparations. The four individuals gave a nod, and used the power of the rules.

They all said at the same time: “We set the rule here: [Anyone below 3000 meters from here will not be affected by the battle].”

The peak where the Qingzhou banquet was held was three thousand meters high.

“Laughable, even if you establish the rules, how are you going to maintain them during the battle? To keep the rules, one of you will inevitably be unable to fight!” The female cultivator mocked, three people were not enough to detain the couple.

“You don’t need to worry about that, seniors. I can maintain the rules.” A voice came from behind Lu Yang, startling the five of them.

The person who came was dressed in an official robe, looking at the sky with a smile, unperturbed.

“It’s you?!” Lan Ting, Bai Ming, and Yan Tianzhi were taken aback.

“You know him? Who is he?” Lu Yang asked in a transmitted voice.

“He is a subordinate of the County Magistrate. Yesterday evening, me and Bai Ming Senior Brother and Yan Tianzhi Senior Brother visited the County Magistrate together, this person welcomed us into the residence and arranged for us to stay.”

“I initially thought he was a minor official, but it turns out he’s also a Unification Stage cultivator.”

Only those at Unification Stage can maintain the rules.

“Very normal, the County Magistrate’s office couldn’t possibly not have even one Unification Stage cultivator.” Meng Jingzhou was not surprised, he was very familiar with how government offices operated.

Lan Ting and the other two didn’t know that initially, the other party suggested the three of them stay in prison.

When Fairy Eternity saw that Lu Yang was safe, she relaxed and yawned, “I thought Miss Yun would have to make a move, it seems that won’t be necessary.”

Lu Yang’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, he always felt that things wouldn’t be so simple.

Those two Unification Stage cultivators woke up from the Secret Realm, wouldn’t the government officiials have thoroughly investigated the Secret Realm? Didn’t they find out about these two people?
