Chapter 15: Troubled Times
The hand of the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect still reached into the eastern part of Great Qin, and the few major sects in the cultivation realm in the eastern part of Great Qin were helpless about it.
Xu Zhenjun, who was extremely unwilling, even contacted the gate factions of other empires, hoping to form an alliance to resist the Heavenly Sword Sect.
It's just that he is not the head of the White Crane Sect, just a Supreme Elder who has little time to live, and he can't be the master of the White Crane Sect, and other sects are not willing to provoke the strong enemy of the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect in order to help him, so he didn't succeed.
Although the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect has secured the position of the number one faction in the Great Qin Cultivation Realm, it may not be the case if it is placed in the entire Yunmeng Continent.
When the two super sects of Mixed Yuan Kendo and Tianyi Sect existed, the development of other sects was curbed, and none of them had more than ten Returning Void Cultivators.
If there is, it threatens the status of these two super sects, and they will be suppressed.
Everyone has a bottom line, that is, the two super sects cannot rely on their own strength and unlimited development to squeeze the living space of the other major sects, and the rest of the major sects will also control their own development and not threaten the status of these two super sects.
But after these two super sects died together, this tacit understanding did not exist, and some of the major sects with enough strength and background finally ushered in the spring of development, and began to let themselves fly and develop to their heart's content.
The sect with sufficient background knows that it has reached the era of the end of the law, and the only opportunity for detachment is in this era, and if it does not develop quickly, it may turn into ashes.
They either annexed other sects, or concentrated their resources to cultivate cultivators in their own sects who were likely to advance to the rank and return to the void, so that in the past two hundred years, several quasi-super sects had emerged in the cultivation realm of Yunmeng Continent.
The reason why they are not super sects is because they only meet or even exceed the standards of those two super sects in terms of the number of returning monks, but in terms of quality, they are still greatly inferior.
Just like the Mixed Yuan Sword Dao, not only does he have the immortal weapon of the Immortal Killing Blade, but he also has more than five Returning to the Void Great Perfection Cultivators for a long time. Although the number of Returning Monks has always been controlled within a dozen, their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the current sects with more than twenty members.
Before the fall of the two super sects, those major sects could only have a maximum of nine Returning Void Monks, but after they fell, within a hundred years, there were two or three sects with more than ten Returning Void Monks.
And now, there are five or six sects with more than 20 monks who have returned to the void.
It's just that many of them have only been promoted to the void in recent years.
In addition, there is another data, that is, two hundred years ago, there were more than one hundred and sixty major sects in the Yunmeng Continent, and now, there are less than one hundred and twenty.
More than 40 sects were either annexed or destroyed during this period.
Within two hundred years, there were nearly two hundred new Returning Monks, but more than a hundred Returning Monks were also killed.
There were more than twenty Returning Void Cultivators who died at the hands of the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect alone.
The era of the end of the law, this is the age of the end of the law.
Now the disciples of the big sect are no longer a symbol of stability, and the small sects are cautious, for fear of being swallowed up or destroyed by the larger sects, and the sects with great power are not so safe.
The order of the cultivation realm is already facing collapse.
In other words, when the Tianyi Sect destroyed the Xuanzhen Sect, the order of the cultivation realm had already begun to collapse.
The White Tiger Hall is so powerful, with more than ten Returning Void Cultivators, isn't it said that it will be extinguished?
And after the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect joined forces with the Tiantai and the Dianxia Sect to destroy the White Tiger Hall, in less than fifty years, another quasi-super sect that was larger than the White Tiger Hall at that time was destroyed, shocking the cultivation realm.
That sect is called Yutianmen, and it has unified the cultivation realm of the Great Jin Empire, and has more than 20 monks who have returned to the void.
Originally, there were more than ten major sects in the Great Jin Cultivation Realm, but there was only one such a major sect, and the original fifty or sixty returning cultivators had only become more than twenty.
The head of the Yutian Sect, Xia Hou Changfeng, was already in the realm of returning to the Great Perfection Ten thousand years ago, and his magical power was amazing. If he hadn't wanted to fight for that glimmer of transcendence in the era of the end of the law, he would have flown away thousands of years ago.
Now that the passage to the Ascension Immortal Realm has been closed, you can stay in this realm even after advancing to the Heavenly Immortal. After unifying the cultivation realm of the Great Jin Empire, he prepared to survive the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation.
It's just that when he crossed the catastrophe, visions were frequent, alarming other sects.
If he succeeds in surviving the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, he will be the first monk in the Yunmeng Continent to possess the Heavenly Immortal Realm after the Immortal Fan is isolated, and there will be no opponents in the Yunmeng Continent, and the unification of the Yunmeng Continent is just around the corner.
When the immortals come to the world, who can resist?
In ancient times, it was because the heavenly immortals were too powerful that the earth was torn apart, so the Dao Ancestor opened up the immortal realm and isolated the immortals, and all the monks had to enter the immortal realm when they reached the heavenly immortal realm.
The difference between immortals and mortals is like the difference between clouds and mud.
It can be said that whoever becomes an immortal first will have the qualifications to unify the cultivation realm of the Yunmeng Continent.
If Xia Hou Changfeng succeeds in crossing the catastrophe, the Yutian Sect will be cool, but other sects will have to become ashes.
In this case, several quasi-super sects that were originally competitors urgently joined forces, and under the banner of seeking justice for those destroyed sects in the Great Jin Cultivation Realm, a total of hundreds of Returning Void Cultivators attacked Yutian Gate, striving to kill him before Xia Hou Changfeng became an immortal.
It was a battle of top monks on a huge scale.
After more than ten days of bitter battles, the multi-faction alliance lost more than 10 monks who returned to the void, and then broke through the protective array of Yutian Gate, interrupted the Xia Hou Changfeng Tribulation, killed it, and destroyed the Yutian Gate.
The impact of this war was enormous.
Since then, there has not been a single local faction in the cultivation realm of the Great Jin Empire, and the territory has been divided by several quasi-super sects that participated in the war.
And the biggest impact, and the worst impact, is that after this, no one in the cultivation realm dares to become an immortal.
If you become an immortal, you will pose a threat to me, so I will have to destroy you when you become an immortal. If you can't do one, you can get many together.
The Yutian Sect is so powerful, it has all been wiped out because of this, and who in other sects dares to try?
That time, several quasi-super sects had also approached the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect, hoping that they could participate in it, with the Shattered Star Bow and the Immortal Slaying Blade, it would be much easier to win. However, Mrs. Jin Se politely refused on the grounds that both the head of the sect and the Xia Holy Maiden were in penance.
After Shang Bai heard about this, he smiled bitterly and said, "The initiator, there is no aftermath?"
Preventing others from becoming immortals is actually cutting off one's own path to becoming immortals, unless you have the strength to resist the entire cultivation realm.
Now, it's a troubled time.
