Chapter 534: Chang'an!
Although the gaze of Heavenly Wind Ancestor was not particularly sharp, instead appearing somewhat gentle and calm, it still placed immense psychological pressure on Liu Yu and the other golden core cultivators whenever it casually swept over them.
The person in the hall had already positioned himself above countless cultivators, standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world!
In today's Tian Nan cultivation world, qi refinement stage cultivators were at the lowest level, while foundation establishment cultivators formed the backbone of power.
As for golden core cultivators, they had already reached the upper echelons of the cultivation world.
They were either the grand elders of small to medium sects, the ancestors of prominent families, or renowned loose cultivators.
No matter where they went, they were respected figures.
The even higher yuan ying realm was even more elusive, with a lifespan reaching only a thousand to fifteen hundred years.
They witnessed the changing of times and the transformation of the world!
Yuan Ying True Lords!
Even for many foundation establishment cultivators, they might not have the fortune to meet a yuan ying ancestor in their lifetime.
After all, foundation establishment cultivators only had a lifespan of just over two hundred years, while a yuan ying true lord might spend a few decades or even a century in seclusion, refining powerful magical treasures.
For ordinary mortals, this was no different from a deity, thus the term "Earthly True Immortal" was not an exaggeration.
As for the more distant divine transformation realm, it was almost like a legend.
Even Liu Yu and other golden core cultivators had no chance to meet them; it required a tremendous opportunity.
Thus, in today's cultivation world, yuan ying true lords were figures standing at the peak, capable of influencing the situation in a region.
Moreover, Heavenly Wind True Lord was the only ancestor of the sect, the actual ruler of Yuan Yang Sect, and the uncrowned king of the ancient land of Qingzhou.
The fate of countless lives could be decided with a single word!
The pressure was palpable.
In the brief silence, all cultivators, including Liu Yu, seemed like newly initiated disciples, bowing their heads obediently as they awaited the elder's lecture.
The usually imposing and eccentric golden core cultivators appeared "docile and obedient" at this moment.
Even those who were proud and arrogant had to bow their heads modestly.
No cultivator dared to meet that calm gaze directly, even if they were already golden core elders, esteemed golden core true lords.
Heavenly Wind Ancestor's gaze swept over each golden core like a tangible force, as if distinguishing something.
This was normal; after all, even golden core true lords would only meet Heavenly Wind Ancestor once every few decades or centuries.
If new golden core cultivators appeared during this process, it was only natural to familiarize themselves.
"Not bad."
Heavenly Wind Ancestor nodded inwardly.
Since the beast tide erupted, it had been thirty-five to forty years, and the scale had remained relatively consistent, with little reduction in numbers.
This proved that the golden core cultivators of this generation in the sect were quite exceptional, with both quality and quantity surpassing ordinary times.
His gaze moved left and right, recognizing several newly promoted golden core identities in just a few breaths, based on some descriptions in his mind.
Ultimately, his gaze lingered more on the new golden cores such as Liu Yu, Zhao Wujie, and Bai Yuxuan.
"Could it be that this time, the ancestor intends to send mid-stage golden core cultivators to execute the task?"
Liu Yu's eyes flickered as he lowered his head, thoughts churning in his mind.
His keen spiritual perception made him distinctly aware that Heavenly Wind Ancestor's gaze swept over the newly promoted golden cores more frequently.
Connecting this to the current meeting, where no late golden core cultivators were present, he suddenly had such an epiphany.
