445: Stimulated, the Heavenly Emperor and Li Dadao returned to their sect.

After all, they all witnessed Liu Shu hugging Jiang Chen, that mysterious Immortal Emperor.

What they couldn't figure out was that Liu Shu was only a First Level True Immortal before entering the Qingtian Immortal Sect, so how did her cultivation suddenly become so terrifying in such a short time?

"Heavens! This... isn't this the girl who hugged the Immortal Emperor? Wasn't she a First Level True Immortal before? How did she suddenly become so powerful?"

"Too terrifying, too terrifying! The level of this suppressive pressure is at least that of an Immortal King. How could her cultivation have increased so quickly?"

"Holy crap! What exactly is going on? She went from a True Immortal to a level we can't fathom in just a few hours. How did she do it?"

"Oh my goodness, did this girl who hugged the Immortal Emperor hide her cultivation from the start, and we just didn't notice?"

The Cultivators in Xuantian Reception City were all stunned when they saw Liu Shu suddenly appear, erupt with terrifying suppressive pressure, and force the True Immortals who were looking for trouble with Li Big Saber to their knees.

When Liu Shu appeared on the Ascension Platform, everyone in the city clearly sensed that she only had the cultivation of a First Level True Immortal.

Now, shortly after Liu Shu entered the Qingtian Immortal Sect, she became so terrifying, making them truly suspect that the previous Liu Shu had hidden her cultivation, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly become so strong.

After all, they wouldn't believe it even if you beat them to death if you claimed Liu Shu broke through from a First Level True Immortal to a level they couldn't see through in just a few hours.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible. How could her strength increase so fast?"

Feeling Liu Shu's Peak Immortal Emperor suppressive pressure, the Heavenly Emperor standing beneath the Qingtian Immortal Sect's Mountain Gate stared at Liu Shu with bulging eyes, full of disbelief.

Perhaps others might suspect Liu Shu had previously hidden her cultivation, but with his Peak Immortal Emperor strength, he was certain that when Liu Shu Ascended, she was only a First Level True Immortal.

It was simply too damn exaggerated that Liu Shu, a First Level True Immortal, suddenly became a Peak Immortal Emperor in such a short time.

One must know that every Peak Immortal Emperor powerhouse cultivated for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years to reach this level. It was simply unbelievable that Liu Shu broke through from a True Immortal to an Immortal Emperor in just a few hours.

"Slap! This is an illusion!"

"Slap, slap, slap! This is definitely an illusion!!"

"Haha! This must be an illusion!!"

After the Heavenly Emperor recovered his senses, he laughed maniacally and vigorously slapped himself across the face, trying to slap himself awake from the illusion.

After all, everything from Jiang Chen nearly killing him with one move to Liu Shu breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm in a few hours was too far beyond common sense. He must have fallen into a Heart Demon illusion while Cultivating, otherwise, such outrageous things wouldn't be happening.

As long as he escaped the illusion, he would still be the Heavenly Emperor who dominated the Hongmeng Immortal Realm, the Heaven above billions of living beings.

"Slap, slap, slap, slap!"

In the span of a few breaths, the Heavenly Emperor slapped himself tens of thousands of times until his cheeks were swollen into spheres and blood sprayed wildly from his nostrils and mouth, yet he still didn't stop.

"Hiss, is Lord Heavenly Emperor crazy? Why is he doing this to himself?"

"Holy crap! Lord Heavenly Emperor is truly ruthless to himself. He's beating himself up like this and won't stop. Is he trying to slap himself to death?"

Seeing the Heavenly Emperor maniacally laughing while slapping his own face wildly, the Cultivators of Xuantian Reception City were all dumbfounded, unable to understand why the Heavenly Emperor had gone mad and was treating himself so brutally.

The Heavenly Emperor's madness also caught Liu Shu's attention, but she merely glanced at him before withdrawing her gaze, looking down at the ground and speaking to Li Big Saber, "Grand Elder, how do you wish to deal with these ants? I can handle it for you."

Facing Liu Shu's question, Li Big Saber, who was also shocked by her cultivation, reacted. After glancing at the dozen or so people, he said to Liu Shu, "Let Attendant Liu handle everything. Just make sure they don't stay alive."

What he cared about now was not the life or death of these dozen people, but why Liu Shu's cultivation had become so powerful.

One must know that although Liu Shu was Jiang Chen's personal maid, her cultivation was the same as theirs, the Elders. Even if she ascended a little earlier, it was impossible for her to Cultivate this quickly. There must be some kind of treasure in the Qingtian Immortal Sect that allowed Liu Shu's cultivation to skyrocket.

It was inconvenient for him to ask outside right now; he could only figure out the situation after returning to the Qingtian Immortal Sect.

"Alright, I'll deal with them for the Grand Elder." Hearing Li Big Saber's reply, Liu Shu waved out a dozen streams of Immortal Essence, grabbing the dozen people, who were filled with fear and preparing to beg for mercy, into the air, and began Extracting Souls and Refining Spirits.

"Ahhhhhh!"

As soon as Liu Shu's power touched them, the dozen people let out screams of immense pain.

A few minutes later.

Only when the dozen people were in so much pain that their souls collapsed, turning them into walking corpses, did Liu Shu stop. She then blasted the dozen people apart, making them completely disappear between heaven and earth.

"Hmph! They really can't withstand torture." Watching the dozen people explode into bloody mist and fall to the ground, Liu Shu murmured slightly displeased.

Although killing these dozen people directly would save some time.

But since these people had no sense and dared to bully members of the Qingtian Immortal Sect, they couldn't be allowed to die painlessly. She had to let the surrounding people see the consequences of daring to cause trouble for the Qingtian Immortal Sect.

"Grand Elder, let's return to the Sect. Once we get back, you can also become like me." Withdrawing her gaze from the bloodstains on the ground, Liu Shu smiled and said to the still-stunned Li Big Saber.

Although Li Big Saber hadn't asked, she could still guess what he was thinking. However, the matter of the powerhouse ascension pool couldn't be explained in just a few words, so it was easier to let Li Big Saber experience it himself.

"Alright, let's return to the Sect."

Li Big Saber recovered his senses and nodded. Impatiently, he and Liu Shu soared into the air, flying quickly toward the Qingtian Immortal Sect, landing shortly thereafter on the Qingtian Immortal Sect's plaza.

"Huh, why is there no one in the Sect?" As soon as he landed on the Qingtian Immortal Sect's plaza, Li Big Saber scanned his surroundings and voiced his confusion.

He had thought the Qingtian Immortal Sect in the Upper Realm would be a powerful Sect, but unexpectedly, like the Qingtian Sect when he first entered the Mortal Realm, the entire Sect was empty.

"Hehe, Grand Elder, don't look anymore. This Sect was newly established by the Sect Master, so of course there aren't any other people yet." Seeing Li Big Saber looking around with a strange expression, Liu Shu said with a giggle.

"Hiss, this Sect was newly established by the Sect Master?" Li Big Saber inhaled sharply, somewhat shocked by the news.

Although Jiang Chen had pulled him out of the endless void, and a voice deep down commanded him to obey Jiang Chen unconditionally, he knew nothing about Jiang Chen's identity.

He hadn't expected that Jiang Chen, who had just Ascended and whose cultivation seemed similar to his, could establish a Sect so quickly. It was truly too mysterious.

"Alright, Grand Elder, stop making a fuss. I'll take you to increase your strength. You'll soon have the same cultivation as me." Seeing Li Big Saber shocked again, Liu Shu smiled.

Since Qingtian Sect currently lacked extra personnel, Jiang Chen had assigned the task of guiding people to her.

Once Li Big Saber's strength was boosted, all the affairs of the Qingtian Sect could be handed over to him, and she could peacefully focus on serving Jiang Chen.

"Ah? Attendant Liu, wouldn't it be inappropriate to go boost my strength right away? Shouldn't you take me to pay my respects to the Sect Master first?" Li Big Saber said hesitantly when he heard Liu Shu wanted to take him to increase his strength.

Although he desperately wanted to raise his strength to Liu Shu's level, it would be extremely impolite not to pay respects to Jiang Chen first, having just arrived at the Sect in the Upper Realm.
