Time flies, the years fly by, since the decision to leave the Ice and Fire Island temporarily and go to the mortal world near the Xianyuan Star to find some excellent disciples who are enough to inherit the Dao system of the Taixuan Sect, Ye Qiuli and the others have inadvertently traveled outside for more than ten years, and their footprints have almost traveled hundreds of light years centered on the Xianyuan Star, I don't know how many different levels of cultivation planets have been visited in person, and how many mortal realms of different sizes have been inspected.

And after everyone's efforts, they also managed to find a lot of young wizards with very good qualifications and temperaments, and after a little training, they could inherit their Dao system and officially live a stable life in the endless starry sky as a cultivator.

After going back and forth like this a few times, the Ice and Fire Island, which was still very empty, was slowly enriched and lively, and there were people everywhere, not like before, on the boundary of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, only Ye Qiuli and five people lived, and it was really lonely and lonely to the extreme.

Now, not to mention the area outside the central mountain range, there are hundreds of nearly a thousand people living on Yujing Mountain where the main building of Taixuanzong is located, although the population is still very sparse, but it is also many times better than the previous situation. According to this trend, it won't take long for the tens of thousands of buildings built by Ye Qiuli and the others to be full, and there will be no place to be idle.

At that time, the Taixuan Sect they established can also really appear in the mainstream world of Xianyuan Star in the face of a sect force, and it does not have to be like at the beginning, although there is a name of a Xiuzhen sect, but it does not have the connotation of a Xiuzhen sect at all, and among the countless sect forces in the cultivation world, there is no sense of existence at all, and it is completely no different from some secluded cultivation groups.

In the cultivation world, although the matter of starting a sect and establishing a sect is very simple, if you occupy a place casually and recruit a few disciples, you can claim to be in the name of the sect power and walk in the vast sea of people without shame, but that kind of sect, that is, the product of the parties' self-amusement, is still infinitely far away from the real sect power, and the mainstream cultivation world will definitely not have the slightest recognition, let alone the necessary respect on this basis.

If you want to successfully establish a sect of cultivation that is enough to be recognized by countless forces, not to mention the requirements of other aspects for the time being, the scale of its number alone cannot be less than a certain level, and the forces with too few people, no matter how strong their strength is, no matter how amazing their deterrent power is, they will not have much effect, at most, they can be regarded as a relatively powerful group of monks, and there is not much difference from ordinary casual cultivators.

That kind of micro and small forces, although they have no influence in ordinary cultivation life, and even because of their relatively strong strength and fully free style of acting, some large and medium-sized forces pay enough attention and awe, and dare not provoke them casually, but when it comes to the critical moment that determines the overall fate of one side of the world, the level and pattern of those forces are a little insufficient, and they cannot play much role at all.

That kind of simple group of monks, in some decisive events, can not play the role they expected at all, at most they are just playing soy sauce, watching the excitement, and really controlling the changes in the situation, there is no room for them to exist at all.

In the cultivation world, the forces of less than 1,000 people, no matter how strong their cultivation strength is, they can't really stand at the top level of a world in the name of a cultivation sect, even if they themselves have always thought so, others will only deal with one or two in words, but they will never admit it in their hearts. The kind of sect power that can really deter one side can never be easily established.

According to the standard established by the cultivation world for countless years, the sects or forces with a scale of less than 1,000 people are all stragglers, even if they have that kind of title, they will not be recognized by the mainstream cultivation world, and if they want to be truly recognized by countless cultivators, they can participate in the main activities of the cultivation world in the name of a sect force, and at least a complete cultivation system of thousands of people must be required.

Moreover, even if there is a scale system of more than 1,000 people, that kind of sect is only the smallest sect in the cultivation realm, and it has just entered the threshold of the mainstream cultivation force, and if it wants to have enough voice and deterrence, its overall scale will have to be expanded countless times again.

Generally speaking, the fourth-rate cultivation sect that has been recognized by the mainstream society of the cultivation world usually has a scale of tens of thousands of people, from the lowest-level foundation building stage cultivators to the highest Mahayana stage masters, there is no shortage of them, and each cultivation level has a sufficient number of people, and if there are no uncontrollable accidents, its inheritance system will always operate reasonably and effectively, and there will definitely be no interruption in a certain link.

And on this basis, the third-rate cultivation sect that has been recognized by the mainstream cultivation society, there will be at least tens of thousands of cultivators in its sect, not only is there no shortage of disciples and monks at all levels, but the number of top masters in the sect is also very amazing, if the strength is a little stronger, there will even be several scattered immortal-level masters, after going all out, it will definitely be easy to crush the sects and forces that are lower than the level.

On top of the third-rate Xiuzhen sect, if the second-rate Xiuzhen sect can't have more than 100,000 disciples, it is definitely an existence that is not worthy of the name, even if it can maintain its prestige for the time being, it will soon be completely exposed and completely knocked out of the clouds. The number of top masters in those sects was not at all imaginable for ordinary cultivators, and at least there were dozens or hundreds of powerful cultivators of the Scattered Immortal level to suppress the formation.

In this case, the first-class cultivation sect that is one level higher than the second-rate cultivation sect is even larger, the few can have two or three hundred thousand disciples, and the most can have seven or eight hundred thousand disciples, and some of the top ones really occupy an entire cultivation planet as their own sect station, even if they have millions of disciples, it is not a strange thing.

For example, the Qilian faction that had a conflict with Ye Qiuli at the beginning was the top first-class cultivation sect in the southwest of the cultivation realm, and there were more than two million disciples in its sect, not only was there no shortage of monks of all levels, but the reserve strength was sufficient to the extreme, that is, the super masters of the Mahayana period and the scattered immortal realm, there were also hundreds or thousands, not the top sect forces of the eight super sect levels, and they had absolutely no ability to completely defeat them.

Moreover, even if those super factions went all out and finally succeeded in pulling up the Qilian faction, the price they themselves needed to pay would not be small, and without losing their strength of five or six layers, there would be absolutely no chance of achieving that effect. And once that happens, those super factions themselves will be in danger of being destroyed, and absolutely no one will choose to do that kind of thing unless they are forced to do it.

It is precisely for this reason that knowing that the forces of other sects cannot or dare not confront them head-on and even end up together, the people of the Qilian Sect will be so arrogant, and the Lingyu Sect, which is located in the southwestern region of the cultivation realm, will not take it seriously, and is ready to take the opportunity to challenge it at any time, squeeze it out of the ranks of the super faction, and at the same time snatch the top cultivation planet of Qiyuan Star into their own hands.

In addition to these ordinary cultivation sects of different levels, such as the Shenhuo Sect, the Rejuvenation Valley, and the Lingyu Sect, the eight super sects that really occupy the top level of the cultivation realm, each sect has tens of millions of cultivators, and the number of other cultivators under its control or influence is even more numerous, even if it is measured in hundreds of millions, it is not too much, and its scale is really huge to the extreme.

Moreover, in addition to the large number of people, the number of top masters in those super factions is also very large, not only have tens of thousands of top masters in the realm of the Tribulation Period and Mahayana Period, but there are also many Seven or Eight Tribulation Scattered Immortals who can be compared with the immortals in the upper realm. The comprehensive strength of those sects can definitely be said to be the top existence in the cultivation realm, even if it is a sect of the same level, it cannot cause any fatal damage to the other party.

At the beginning, the reason why Ye Qiuli and the others were able to subdue Lingyu Sect and let them take the initiative to apologize to themselves was because the comprehensive strength of everyone was relatively strong, and at the lowest they were all super masters of the Tribulation Realm, and their comprehensive combat power was not comparable to ordinary cultivators at all, and on the other hand, it was also because they had encountered a good time, and they just fought when Qiyuan Xing's comprehensive strength was relatively weak, and it could be said that they were invincible.

As one of the eight super factions that are unique in the cultivation world, in addition to controlling Qiyuan Star and several first-class cultivation planets near it, Lingyu Sect also controls many resources and cultivation planets with unique conditions or suitable environments in other places, and most of the main combat power in its sect is scattered to those places, and the number of masters left in Qiyuan Star is actually not very large, and it does not have a decisive advantage at all.

In that case, after Ye Qiuli summoned hundreds of top masters of the Tribulation Period and the Scattered Immortal Realm to knock on the door together, it was really impossible for them not to suffer losses. The internal emptiness, the lack of masters, no matter who encounters that situation, it is the same end.

As for the cultivators below the Tribulation Period, in that level of battle, there was not much meaning at all, and no matter how many they were, they would not be able to play a fundamental role. Those who can confront the Tribulation Period and Scattered Immortal masters head-on can only do it with the top masters of the same realm, and the cultivators of other realms, even if they can play a certain role, the casualty figures in the middle will definitely be so large that it is difficult for everyone to accept.

Therefore, it was not the most critical moment of life and death, and the leader of any sect's forces would not allow the low-level cultivators in the sect to take the initiative to participate in the battle of the top masters, and would even devote a large part of their energy to completely protect them.

At the beginning, although the cultivators of the Lingyu Sect did not need to devote their energy to protect the low-level cultivators in the Qiyuan Star, it was not enough to completely defeat Ye Qiuli and the others, and after weighing the pros and cons, they had to take the initiative to admit defeat to prevent the situation from escalating further, and eventually bring them greater losses.

Therefore, Ye Qiuli and the others can succeed in the end, in fact, it is not that their own strength has reached that level, the main reason is that Lingyu Sect takes the initiative to calm things and not entangle them too much. If the Lingyu Sect fully mobilized and concentrated all their forces together, even if their strength increased tenfold, there would be no chance of victory. The dignity of the super faction is not something that ordinary cultivators can provoke.
