Chapter 657

454. Klee Becomes the Young Sect Leader of Shushan

Kiana and the others looked at the actions of the people around them in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.

With everyone else so uniform, they had become the odd ones out.

However, Zhongli didn't care and returned to his prayer mat to sit down.

Jiang Yan paused and continued:

"Third, regarding the previous exploration of the Nine Nether Secret Realm, I promised all disciples the opportunity to choose a magic treasure from the sect treasury. You can collect them in the next few days."

"I will notify you of the specific time after I have arranged it."

This was truly a good thing, and everyone showed at least a trace of a smile.

"Fourth, the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin. All Peak Masters, Elders, and Protectors should count the members of the seven peaks. Those below the middle stage of Refining Qi into Spirit and above the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi can participate."

"This Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament is the first one since the rebuilding of Shushan, and from now on, it will be fixed as a grand event held once every hundred years."

"All disciples must take it to heart."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and they nodded heavily.

A Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament once every hundred years; if one didn't participate, it would be a real loss.

Durandal and the others also firmly remembered the term "Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament."

The grand event of Shushan cultivators must be participated in.

"These are the main matters. Besides these, there are some minor things that will be notified by the various Peak Masters and Elders later."

Jiang Yan's expression became slightly solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Next, the matter I want to talk about, all disciples must listen carefully. This concerns the life and death of Shushan."

Ningguang and the others were shocked, subconsciously thinking of something.

"Sect Leader, is it about the Evil Sword Immortal..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan sighed and nodded slightly, and the expressions of Zhongli and the others to the side were also somewhat suppressed.

"That's right. This time, when we went to the Xuanming World, I and the various Peak Masters and Elders encountered people from the Heavenly Demon Territory."

"The Xuanming World has already been invaded by the Heavenly Demon Territory, or in other words, the demonic cultivators of the Xuanming World have already attached themselves to the Heavenly Demon Territory."

Suddenly, everyone's hearts rose, and Theresa and the others also became somewhat fearful.

Heavenly Demon Territory, Evil Sword Immortal; these two names were the most terrifying existences they had heard of from Himeko.

They thought it was very far away, but didn't expect...

"But Sect Leader, isn't the Xuanming World a world controlled by Shushan? Why was it invaded by the Heavenly Demon Territory?"

Ganyu looked at Jiang Yan with some worry, and the latter shook his head.

"The Xuanming World is indeed one of the middle-thousand worlds controlled by Shushan. In its prime, it was also a great-thousand world."

"But the Xuanming World is different from the Nine Nether; it was personally severed by Uncle-Master Mo Yixi and turned into a secret realm."

"The Xuanming World is a complete world. Shushan's control over such a complete world is not as thorough and absolute as the Nine Nether Secret Realm."

"Since the Xuanming World is a complete world, there is not only one passage."

"The control over this kind of world is just that all forces in this world bow down to Shushan."

"The origin of the Xuanming World is very special."

Jiang Yan sighed, his gaze somewhat distant, and an aura from the end of time permeated, making everyone quiet down to listen.

"About 73 million years ago, in the Chaotic Ancient Era..."

Ningguang and the others' hearts tightened, seemingly thinking of something. Jiang Yan had mentioned that era before...

It was exactly when the Righteous Alliance and the demonic cultivators were fighting most fiercely.

"It seems you haven't forgotten what I said."

Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction and said softly:

"That's right, that was the final stage of the chaotic war between the Righteous Alliance and the demonic cultivators."

"Led by the three giants of the righteous path in the cultivation world, the Righteous Alliance had already cleared out most of the demonic cultivator sects in this world."

"The flames of war at that time had spread across the heavens and myriad worlds, and the number of worlds destroyed in this war reached tens of millions."

"The demonic cultivators were severely damaged; those who died died, and those who scattered scattered, no longer forming a climate."

"But even Shushan lost hundreds of great-thousand worlds and thousands of middle-thousand worlds in that war."

"After the war ended, the Righteous Alliance divided the demonic cultivator worlds to restore their strength. Among them, Shushan, the Little Lei Yin Temple, and the Jixia Academy were allocated the most great-thousand worlds."

"But considering that many other sects in the Righteous Alliance also paid a great price, after discussion, the three giants agreed to select a batch of worlds..."

"As a reward for these sects. The control remained in the hands of the three giants, but other sects could, under permitted circumstances,"

"Send disciples to train or harvest some resources."

"The Xuanming World was the sect stronghold of the former demonic cultivator sect, the Heavenly Sound Demon Gate."

"Originally a great-thousand world, but under the bloodbath of Shushan's three protector elders, it was downgraded to a middle-thousand world."

"And the Xuanming World itself was beaten to pieces, and its resources were less than one in ten, so it was naturally put into that batch of worlds for other sects to utilize."

Everyone's expressions became somewhat strange.

Jiang Yan smiled and said softly:

"What, do you think the ancestors of that time were not being fair?"

Kiana and the others didn't dare to answer, but they did think so in their hearts.

Those sects fought hard, and in the end, after finally solving the trouble, they couldn't get many good things?

Jiang Yan chuckled and said calmly:

"Strength is the rule of the cultivation world. If you don't have enough strength, you must endure this injustice."

"It is their honor that Shushan gives it to them. If they are not satisfied, there are so many destroyed sects, one more wouldn't make a difference."

"Even if they know they were at a disadvantage, they have to endure it. In the cultivation world, without strength, you deserve to endure injustice."

Everyone was speechless, but thinking about it carefully, it was the same logic.

With the strength of the three giants, even if they swallowed it all, they would have to lick their faces and say it was what they deserved.

Resist?

Do you really think the three giants don't kill?

Kiana and the others intuitively witnessed the darkness of the cultivation world.

For a moment, their feelings were complicated.

"Of course, Shushan is not an unreasonable sect. We don't mind distributing some benefits to the Righteous Alliance that participated in the war."

"But unfortunately, what did they do?"

Jiang Yan sneered and said calmly:

"The Righteous Alliance had a total of 423 strong cultivators at the Refining the Void and Combining with the Dao stage, and Shushan, the Little Lei Yin Temple, and the Jixia Academy provided 407 of them."

"Shushan provided a full 194 protectors and elders at the Refining the Void and Combining with the Dao stage."

"In other words, this demon-extermination war of the Righteous Alliance was almost the war of the three righteous giants of the cultivation world themselves."

"What did the other sects help us with?"

"Even under the public opinion attack of the demonic cultivators, they even counterattacked."

"Not settling accounts with them in detail afterwards is already considered merciful."

Jiang Yan was only in a good mood because he had just broken through, which is why he explained so much.

In his view, those sects of that time didn't deserve any benefits.

The battles were all fought by the three giants; what did it have to do with them?

Logistics?

Back then, the three giants each commanded 3, 00 great-thousand worlds; did they need them to provide logistics?

To describe it simply...

They couldn't do anything, but they were number one at playing mind games.

It was good enough that they weren't wiped out as demonic cultivators; what more did they want?

Theresa and the others were somewhat enlightened, and suddenly felt that Shushan had also suffered a loss back then.

This kind of thing really didn't need to be distributed to them.

455. Otto Calculating the Heavenly Demon Territory?

"What happened next, Sect Leader?"

Hu Tao blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Yan expectantly.
