Chapter 1167: Chapter 1168: Clearly Arranged for Them
“My Saint Realm cultivation level allows me to kill these mere Half-Saints as easily as slicing melons and vegetables, right?”
“Looking at the world today, there are no more than a handful of people who can stand toe to toe with me!”
The old beggar stood with his hands clasped behind his back, head high and chest thrust out, speaking in an overwhelmingly domineering tone. As he spoke, an invisible, terrifying aura spread out like a tide, startling a chicken and a dog into retreating again and again.
Li Xiaobai was also astonished, as the old man’s cultivation level seemed unfathomable. How had he suddenly become so powerful? It was definitely the old beggar who was speaking, no mistake about that. When he had left, the old man was only at the Earth Immortal Realm – when did he achieve such a cultivation level?
“Senior, we’re all among our own here, no outsiders; stop pretending. How did you obtain this power within you?”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“I, Xiao Lao Di, have dominated an era. Every bit of power in my body has been diligently cultivated by myself!”
The old beggar said indifferently, exuding a terrifying aura, the Immortal Yuan Power within him surged like the tides, almost as if he couldn’t wait to find a place to show off his abilities.
Li Xiaobai suddenly fell silent, very clear about how much the old fellow was really capable of. There must be some major trickery afoot with the old man, who was now too deeply immersed in his role and completely convincing as Senior Xiao Lao Di.
It’s not a problem if an imposter has low cultivation; the problem is when an imposter has the same cultivation as the real deal, looks the same, has the same build, personality, and aura. If even their cultivation level is the same, then the fake can become real.
“Woof!”
“Kid, beat him up, this old thing is asking for it!”
Ergouzi egged on from the side.
“The power of a Saint Realm expert, is that something you can casually test?”
“Do not provoke me. Although we have been through hardships together, the gap between us has become as vast as the heavens now.”
The old beggar appeared slightly annoyed.
“Damn it, he’s taking it too far, kid, take him down! Let him have a taste of reality!”
Ji Wuqing was fuming at the sight of the old beggar’s pretentious stance.
But at that moment, the terrifyingly oppressive aura that filled the great hall suddenly dissipated like a receding tide. Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing both felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. Looking at the old beggar again, the aura of an expert had vanished and the terrifying, tsunami-like presence within him was nowhere to be found, as if reverting back to just an ordinary decrepit old man.
The chicken and the dog were stunned.
The old beggar himself was also stunned, his eyes full of confusion. He looked down at his Dantian, non-believingly touching it, finding nothing. His cultivation had returned to the Earth Immortal Realm, and the earth-shattering power he had just moments ago had faded away in a breath, as if it had never existed.
This scene feels somewhat familiar!
Li Xiaobai watched the old beggar with interest. Back in the Immortal Spirit Continent, the old man’s cultivation was unpredictable, often failing him at critical moments. Unexpectedly, the same situation was happening again; the power within him inexplicably vanished, turning him back into an ordinary person in a second.
“Senior, what did you just say?”
“What about a vast chasm?”
Li Xiaobai asked with a chuckle.
“I am a Saint Realm strong expert, do not be disrespectful!”
The old beggar stubbornly kept up his charade. Having once genuinely experienced the power of the Saint Realm, he had completely immersed himself into the identity of Xiao Lao Di.
Li Xiaobai could only express his helplessness; each time, the old man needed to be given a dose of hard reality before he would come to his senses. Li Xiaobai flipped his wrist to retrieve a longsword and casually swung it.
“Plop!”
Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch was activated!
The old beggar’s knees buckled, and he raised his hands high above his head, kneeling before Li Xiaobai in a familiar and skilled manner.
At this moment, he woke up in a second, a familiar sense of confusion surging in his heart. Seeing his gaze become somewhat vacant, Li Xiaobai timely sheathed his sword and deactivated the skill.
The old beggar dully lifted his head and stared intently at Li Xiaobai. In the instant he was about to kneel just now, his first reaction was that the angle was a bit skewed, going directly on his knees would hurt them.
He was supposed to be a mighty Saint Realm strong expert, an invincible existence. How could he possibly have such bizarre experiences in his head?
“Senior, were you taking yourself out of character?”
“Senior’s acting skills have become exceedingly refined, but you’ve really delved too deep into character. If you go on like this, I fear you will lose yourself!”
Li Xiaobai spoke with a faint smile. His voice entered the old beggar’s ears like a thunderclap, shocking him back to clarity after a shudder.
“Fuck, it’s just like having a dream!”
“Where the hell has my power gone?”
The old beggar recovered his senses, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Damn!
He had already snapped out of character back at the peak when Wu Qian expressed doubt, but unexpectedly, in the next second, a terrifying power sufficient to slay immortals and slay buddhas surged throughout his body, and in an instant, he got even more deeply into character.
Carefully sensing now, the sort of boundless, vast power like mountains and seas indeed faded away from the Dantian, leaving only the strength and cultivation level befitting of an Earth Immortal cultivator.
This power must be related to Senior Xiao Lao Di. The old beggar was a manifestation of one of his divine soul powers; the two shared the same origin, so it’s normal for their cultivation levels to be interconnected. The sudden overflow of power in his body was probably Xiao Lao Di transferring his strength to him.
Li Xiaobai pondered in his heart and made a judgment.
However, since his return to the sect, he had not seen any trace of the other party; it seemed that the true master had not personally visited.
“Senior, how are you feeling now?”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“Heh heh, I feel amazing. Being hit by that boundless power, I feel like all shackles on my path of cultivation are completely gone. There are no more barriers or bottlenecks ahead; the moment my cultivation level is adequate, I’ll be able to break through immediately!”
The old beggar said.
“Damn, you old man are so lucky. It must have been the intervention of a hidden Saint Realm expert that allowed you to escape the trap!”
Ergouzi commented with a twitch of his mouth.
Ji Wuqing added mercilessly: “It would be better for you to lay low recently. If you draw in the real owner, let’s see how you’re going to end it!”
“The baby was kidnapped by thieves, and we still don’t know their true purpose. We need to deal with this as soon as possible.”
Li Xiaobai had no interest in listening to the squabbles between the two beasts and one human, and he called out to the outside of the hall: “Xu Yuan!”
“Greetings Brother Li, I’m here!”
“I bear an inescapable responsibility for the baby’s disappearance, I ask for your punishment, Brother!”
A figure flashed, and Xu Yuan respectfully entered the hall, clasping his fists and keeping a very respectful demeanor.
“Mm, I am already aware of this matter; you don’t have to blame yourself. Senior Yitilou has invited quite a few Half-Saint Strong Experts from various Great Sects, so you better train them well. You don’t need me to tell you how to do it, right?”
Li Xiaobai said with a light smile.
“Brother Li, rest assured. The principle of the Second Peak of the Sword Sect is equality for all. We definitely don’t do preferential treatment, whether it’s cultivators of the Half-Saint Realm or newcomers just stepping into the Cultivation World, everyone is treated equally here!”
Xu Yuan patted his chest, saying. Not only did his senior brother not blame him, but he also entrusted him with important responsibilities, which deeply moved him. He must train the newcomers well for his senior brother!
Li Xiaobai nodded: “Mm, well said. Remember one thing, these Half-Saints are visiting our Sword Sect for the first time. Make sure they genuinely enjoy the scenery of our Second Peak. They should feel that their journey here was worthwhile!”
“Don’t worry, Brother Li, I’ll make the arrangements clear to them right now!”
