The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1193 - Chapter 1193 Chapter 1192 Taoist Sect Pill Pulsar

Chapter 1193: Chapter 1192: Taoist Sect Pill Pulsar Chapter 1193: Chapter 1192: Taoist Sect Pill Pulsar “The news from Tianlan suggests that this time the people from the Seven Seas are likely not so simple,” Elder Tianjun said to the high-ranking officials of the Pill Alliance beside him.

Several high-ranking officials were unconcerned, thinking what could possibly be impressive about the Alchemy Tao of the Seven Seas?

“Elder, rest assured, this time the Seven Seas have brought shame upon themselves. Our Pill Alliance is full of talented individuals; dealing with them should be like capturing something within easy reach,” a senior member of the Pill Alliance said, showing complete disdain for the Alchemy Tao of the Seven Seas.

“That’s right, the Seven Seas have come prepared, but haven’t we made our preparations as well? The advantage is all on our side; there won’t be any surprises,” another Pill Alliance high-ranking official said, also brimming with confidence.

Elder Tianjun furrowed his brows. As a person of experience and caution, although it seemed that the Pill Alliance had almost a certain chance of victory in the challenge from the Seven Seas, he always felt that the visitors from the Seven Seas might harbor ill intentions and it wouldn’t be so simple.

Of course, speculating about these matters now was useless; everything could only be determined after the people from the Seven Seas arrived.

“They’re coming.” Someone with the Spirit Eye saw that the people from the Seven Seas were nearly there.

“Follow me to receive them,” Elder Tianjun commanded, leading the members of the Pill Alliance to fly over the sea with him at the forefront, two Tang Country experts on each side, and the rest standing behind.

“Elder, should those barbarians from the Seven Seas attempt deception, we two shall handle them,” said the two powerful individuals from Tang Country to Elder Tianjun.

Elder Tianjun nodded. The challenge between the two regions was taken very seriously by the Tang Country, which had sent these two formidable experts with cultivation levels on par with Elder Tianjun, if not stronger.

Soon, a vast throng of people came from overseas.

A gigantic sword appeared, with many figures standing on it, rushing over the sea and through the sky, an awe-inspiring presence that demanded attention.

“Hmph! Arriving on a sword to overwhelm us in terms of aura first, is that it?” a strong individual from Tang Country scoffed.

Many Martial Artists from the Nine Countries also displayed anger, as the people from the Seven Seas rode in on the giant sword, making no attempt to conceal its sword qi. It was an outright provocation.

“Stay calm,” Elder Tianjun said softly, his demeanor as still as an undisturbed ancient well.

Gazing into the distance, atop that gigantic sword were roughly fifty individuals, with the leader at the forefront wearing a simple white Taoist robe and headwear, appearing to be in his forties and having an air of a worldly-wise Taoist about him.

The three sects of the Seven Seas, each different from the others.

In the eyes of the Nine Countries, no matter whether they were Buddhist, Taoist, or Confucian, all were considered heretical and inappropriate to be seen in respectable circles.

To those from the Seven Seas, their three sects were the orthodoxy, and it was the people from the Nine Countries who were misled and lost.

The conflict in philosophies, along with the competition for resources and territory, had led to a grand battle between the two regions.

Among the three sects, the Confucian and Taoist sects were more active, especially in recent years the Alchemy Tao lineage of the Taoist sect had grown increasingly powerful, significantly boosting the strength of the Taoist sect.

“Heh, the Nine Countries are truly vigilant, having so many powerful individuals present. However, we did not come here to fight and kill this time.”

“That so-called Pill Alliance, thinking to develop in the Seven Seas, it’s simply laughable. The strength of our Taoist Sect’s Alchemy Tao is incomparable to theirs.”

“The Nine Countries are nothing but frogs in a well. This time, we will let them understand the might of our Seven Seas Taoist Sect.”

****

Above the giant sword, many from the Taoist sects spoke dismissively of the Nine Countries during their conversations.

No wonder, the Nine Countries look down upon the Seven Seas, calling them barbarians with every breath, while the Seven Seas consider those from the Nine Countries to be nothing but frogs in a well.

The contradictions between the Nine Countries and the Seven Seas were so deep that it would be strange if conflicts didn’t arise.

“All of you, behave yourselves. After all, we are on someone else’s turf, do not be too presumptuous. We only need to crush the Pill Alliance in the realm of Alchemy Tao.” The leading white-clad Taoist spoke with an ethereal tone.

“Yes,” the group of Taoist sect members immediately responded.

The white-clad Taoist looked towards the three people behind him and said, “This time, it all depends on you.”

The three were two young men and one woman, all appearing youthful. The two young men both had an air of arrogance, while the young woman carried an indifferent demeanor, seemingly unconcerned about everything.

“Master Chongyun, rest assured, we three have full confidence in this competition. Those so-called geniuses of the Pill Alliance are simply not worth mentioning in our eyes,” said the slightly dark-skinned young man, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe with a large gourd hanging from his waist.

“Indeed, the geniuses of the Pill Alliance aren’t worth mentioning,” the other young man said indifferently. He looked rather thin, but his eyes were sharp, like those of a hawk, and carried depth.

As for the young woman, she had a scar on her left cheek that was not very apparent, which diminished the brilliance of her otherwise extremely beautiful face.

The young woman didn’t speak, but her eyes, cold and detached, were directed toward the people of the Nine Countries.

These three were the representatives of the Taoist sect’s Pill Pulsar in the competition, and they had never revealed their abilities in public before.

“Taoist Chongyun of the Taoist Sects greets the people of the Nine Countries,” the white-robed Taoist said from atop the giant sword, greeting Elder Tianjun and the others with a faint smile on his face.

Elder Tianjun stepped forward with a slight bow, “I am Tianjun. Elders of the Taoist Sect, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar.”

Chongyun smiled faintly, “So it is Elder Tianjun, one of the Eight Great Elders of the Pill Alliance. It is an honor for us to be personally received by Elder Tianjun.”

Elder Tianjun remained calm, “The Pill Alliance always treats visitors with courtesy, regardless of who they are. We fulfill our duties as hosts without any negligence.”

Taoist Chongyun nodded and said, “I’ve long heard that the Pill Alliance of the Nine Countries excels in Alchemy Tao. Our sect also practices this path, and we’ve come here today for an exchange, hoping the Pill Alliance will not hesitate to enlighten us.”

Elder Tianjun glanced over the many from the Taoist Sects on the giant sword and then said, “Enlighten is too great a word, but could you first put away the sword beneath your feet?”

“Oh? This sword is merely our means of transportation, has it offended the folks of the Nine Countries?” Taoist Chongyun asked feigning surprise.

Elder Tianjun shook his head, “It’s not that. It’s just that we people of the Nine Countries have quite the temper, and if someone were to start waving swords around here, it might lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Upon these words, the expressions of Taoist Chongyun and the other members of the Taoist Sects turned somewhat unpleasant. Elder Tianjun was telling them that if they did not put away the giant sword, the people of the Nine Countries would not be courteous to them.

Chongyun hummed lightly, waved his hand, and put away the giant sword. After all, this was the territory of the Nine Countries. Even if he wanted to act high and mighty, he had to restrain himself somewhat. Overdoing it would be inappropriate.
