Chapter 1056

For sects everywhere, developing useful spirit lands is indeed a good thing. In fact, many times, major battles occur over a single spirit land.

However, regarding the Earth Deity Path, those sects are all watching from the sidelines.

Zhang Liang was somewhat surprised, but Su Fan was not surprised at all.

"The Earth Deity Path is, after all, something new; no one knows what the consequences are, and whether it can be useful remains an unknown."

"Those sects will not easily change; although this Earthly Origin Immortal Method is good, it is different from the mainstream Immortal Dao of today. Perhaps those sects will arrange for some disciples to try it, but most people will not easily get started."

Those sects are not the Sword Sect, and furthermore, not everyone in the Sword Sect has switched to practicing this Earth Deity Path; at least half of the disciples have not practiced it.

Let alone those sects.

"Those people, which one of them isn't someone who won't act until they see the rabbit?"

Su Fan sneered; he had actually guessed it long ago. When he was in the martial arts world, he also tried to change things, but most sects were unwilling to change.

First, they did not trust Su Fan and worried that there was a trap; second, they did not want to act rashly, especially those with deeper foundations, as they had more interests. Once they moved, it might increase some interests, but it was more likely to affect their existing interests.

It is better to remain still than to move.

This is not just stubbornness, but a worry about the loss of interests.

Su Fan understands this situation all too well.

The cultivation world is no different.

Once this Earth Deity Path is launched in various places, I am afraid the impact on all parties will be quite significant.

Those top-tier sects in the Jianyu have actually already reached the peak, just slightly inferior to the Sword Sect.

Is it possible that by switching to practice this Earth Deity Path, they could catch up to the Sword Sect?

The high-level members of those sects are not fools; they do not believe that the Sword Sect or Zhang Liang would be so kind.

If it were Su Fan, he would also worry about what kind of intentions someone has when they bring out such good things.

There is no such thing as kindness without a reason.

There is no free lunch in the world.

So Su Fan understands them; often, when you promote something for free, it becomes even more difficult.

Can you say Zhang Liang was wrong in his promotion? Naturally, he was not wrong, but the thoughts of those sect immortals are clearly very different from those of ordinary people.

You could say they are clinging to the old ways.

"So, what do you mean?"

Zhang Liang is also a smart person and naturally understood Su Fan's meaning very quickly.

"First, support a few small sects; those small sects and loose cultivators are often more likely to accept it. After all, for some people, if they cannot change, they are finished."

"In that case, why not give it a try?"

Zhang Liang's initial targets were wrong; he thought that once the major sects in the Jianyu promoted it, it would definitely set a trend.

But he thought too highly of those people.

"I understand."

Zhang Liang nodded upon hearing this.

"Hehe! They really don't know how to cherish what is given to them."

Zhang Liang then sneered; he had originally intended to support those sects, but since they were not sensible, he would just change to another batch.

There are countless large and small sects in the Jianyu; some sects have weak strength, but supporting them would be relatively simpler.

There are quite a few sects attached to the Sword Sect.

Zhang Liang then began to select a few.

Su Fan never obstructed Zhang Liang's choices; he also wanted to see to what extent Zhang Liang could succeed.

Zhang Liang began to put his heart into it.

Soon, the Jianyu felt it.

The Sword Sect is, after all, the number one sect in the Jianyu; even though Ge Nie has already left the Sword Sect, there are still twenty-one True Immortals in the Sword Sect, seventy percent of whom are sword cultivators.

The combat power of these people is quite strong.

Of course, these sword cultivators are not prepared to practice the Earth Deity Path; at most, some who have little lifespan left might try it because they have no hope of breaking through.

However, many disciples at the bottom of the Sword Sect are willing to try.

They still trust the high-level members of the sect very much.

Secondly, many loose cultivators or small sects attached to the Sword Sect have also begun to preach the Earth Deity Path within their sects within a short ten years.

"Hey! Do you know? The Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect has broken through!"

In the southwest of the Jianyu, in a cultivation market, a group of loose cultivators liked to gather together to brag and chat when bored.

The cultivation world and the secular world have some things in common, especially in terms of bragging; even cultivators do not lose this function.

"The Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect, Qingsongzi?"

"Isn't it said that this Sect Leader's lifespan is nearing its end and it's impossible for him to break through, and he will pass away in a few years?"

"How could he suddenly break through?"

Clearly, some loose cultivators knew some of the situation regarding the Qingyuan Sect.

The Qingyuan Sect, in the southwest of the Jianyu, is a medium-sized sect with about eight hundred disciples, among whom there are ten Earth Immortal realm cultivators and only one Heavenly Immortal.

Being able to become a medium-sized sect in the Jianyu relied on this Heavenly Immortal Sect Leader, but this Sect Leader was too old.

It is said that in his early years, because he fought with demonic cultivators, he damaged his origin, and his lifespan was far lower than that of other Heavenly Immortal cultivators.

Several major sects in the southwest were also eyeing the Qingyuan Sect with hostility.

After all, in its prime, the Qingyuan Sect could almost touch the level of a top-tier sect; in its prime, the Qingyuan Sect had one True Immortal, six Heavenly Immortals, and about fifty Earth Immortal realm cultivators.

However, it is a pity that because one of its Heavenly Immortal disciples fell into the demonic path, a rebellion broke out, and that demonized Heavenly Immortal stirred up a riot.

In one internal strife, the entire Qingyuan Sect saw its True Immortal die in battle, four of the six Heavenly Immortals die in battle one after another, and the remaining two also died within a hundred years, leaving only the current Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect.

And that demonized disciple still managed to escape.

Of course, there has been no news of him to this day; some say that after he escaped the Qingyuan Sect with heavy injuries, he died.

Others say that the demonized disciple left Nanzhan Buzhou.

However, since then, the Qingyuan Sect, which was originally the hegemon of the Jianyu's southwest, declined to the extreme, and the original hegemon was gradually caught up by other major sects.

Even in these years, the sect's interests and territory have been annexed by those few major medium-sized sects.

Now, only the mountain gate of the Qingyuan Sect and a few surrounding spirit lands remain.

And these sects are now all waiting for the last Heavenly Immortal Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect to pass away; once he passes away, I am afraid the Qingyuan Sect will be immediately carved up by those major sects.

After all, the mountain gate of the Qingyuan Sect has the best spirit veins in the southwest of the Jianyu, with a full six superior spirit veins.

This was also the reason why the Qingyuan Sect was the hegemon back then.

But now, the Qingyuan Sect has become the prey of those few major medium-sized sects in the southwest.

It is only because the Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect is a Heavenly Immortal at the peak realm that no one dares to provoke him easily.

After all, medium-sized sects do not have True Immortals sitting in charge; they are all Heavenly Immortals, so who would dare to deal with a Heavenly Immortal at the peak realm?
