Chapter 1057: Unexpected News
The Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect is at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm; even if injured, he remains at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
If he truly holds a determination to die and wants to drag a few Heavenly Immortals down with him before he perishes, that is also something he can achieve.
The Heavenly Immortals of the several major sects are naturally very wary of this Qingyuan Sect Sect Leader, and no one dares to provoke him first and trigger his thunderous rage.
In that case, it would only benefit others.
Therefore, the several major sects are all biding their time, waiting for him to slowly pass away, and then they will seize the opportunity to carve up the Qingyuan Sect in one fell swoop.
Originally, in this southwestern region of Jianyu, the fate of the Qingyuan Sect had already been sealed.
However, suddenly, there are now rumors spreading that this Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect has broken through.
If he has broken through to the True Immortal realm, then the original dead end for the Qingyuan Sect is instantly broken; once this Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect breaks through and his cultivation reaches the True Immortal Realm, even if his lifespan is slightly inferior due to his damaged origin,
but in the True Immortal Realm, one has a full million years of lifespan; even if the origin is damaged and he only has half that of an ordinary True Immortal, that is still hundreds of thousands of years.
And as of now, the other party has only lived for a few tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, his strength has greatly increased; a True Immortal is not comparable to an ordinary Heavenly Immortal, and these surrounding Heavenly Immortals are not disciples of the truly top-tier major sects in Nanzhan Buzhou who can achieve cross-level combat.
These are all ordinary Immortals; even ten Heavenly Immortals are absolutely no match for one True Immortal, even if this True Immortal has a damaged origin.
If a True Immortal appears in the Qingyuan Sect, even if the sect has no other Heavenly Immortals and only a few Earth Immortals, he can still become the hegemon sect of the southwest of Jianyu.
Because a True Immortal is the strongest in the southwestern region.
Coupled with hundreds of thousands of years of lifespan, he is sufficient to protect the Qingyuan Sect, and during this period, cultivate a few Heavenly Immortals, then no one will ever be able to threaten the status of the Qingyuan Sect again.
There are some people who clearly do not want to see this situation.
Therefore, upon hearing someone spread such words, they immediately looked anxious and said, "Is what you say true?"
The few people who were communicating earlier were merely low-level Loose Cultivators; suddenly, the pressure of an Immortal descended, and the few Golden Core cultivators all trembled, especially the fat cultivator who was speaking.
Looking at this person with a face full of fear, he stammered and said, "Senior, I also heard this from others."
"Someone spread that at the mountain gate of the Qingyuan Sect, they saw that Sect Leader pass the final Wind-Thunder Tribulation, and then look up to the sky and laugh."
The Wind-Thunder Tribulation is also the last of the Three Calamities for Immortals; once this tribulation is passed, then breaking through to True Immortal will have no more problems.
The reason why many cultivators at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm have not broken through to True Immortal is precisely because they cannot pass this last of the Three Calamities.
"Wind-Thunder Tribulation!"
"How is it possible? In this person's state, how could he possibly pass the Wind-Thunder Tribulation?"
This Immortal naturally understood this situation, and his face was very gloomy; if this matter is true, then for their Yuanba Sect, it would be a terrible disaster.
The Yuanba Sect is one of the four major medium-sized sects in the southwestern region of Jianyu.
The southwestern region of Jianyu was originally one sect and four powers; the "one sect" was the original Qingyuan Sect, the original hegemon of the southwest, which was also ranked in the top thirty within Jianyu.
Unfortunately, an internal strife where disciples fell into demonic paths suddenly plunged the Qingyuan Sect into a low point; one must know that with the situation of the Qingyuan Sect back then, if given another ten thousand years, perhaps they could have birthed one or two True Immortals.
By then, the Qingyuan Sect could have vied for the top ten in Jianyu.
Unfortunately, this internal strife made it so the Qingyuan Sect could never return to its former glory; on the contrary, there is now the danger of the sect being destroyed.
Throughout Nanzhan Buzhou, sects are numerous, and it is very normal for sects to be destroyed; some die at the hands of the demon race, and some perish in great sect wars.
Originally, in the southwestern region of Jianyu, there were five major sects, one super and four strong; among the four medium-sized sects, the Yuanba Sect was the most powerful.
There are thousands of disciples under their banner, including six Heavenly Immortals and over twenty in the Earth Immortal Realm.
As long as they wait for that Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect to die, the Yuanba Sect would be able to swallow at least fifty percent of the Qingyuan Sect's interests.
After all, the other three major sects only have eight Heavenly Immortals combined, and it is impossible for the three major sects to wholeheartedly oppose his Yuanba Sect.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Yuanba Sect, this Qingyuan Sect is meat in their bowl, but right now, if that Qingyuan Sect Sect Leader, Qingsongzi, has broken through to True Immortal,
then their Yuanba Sect naturally would not dare to make a move.
Unless their four major sects all attack with their Heavenly Immortals together, perhaps there is a chance to suppress that True Immortal Qingsongzi.
But in this process, they might lose more than half of their Heavenly Immortals; who would be willing to do that?
Paying such a great price, it is even very likely that one or two of the sects would end up like that Qingyuan Sect.
This Immortal understands very well that if this matter really happened, then the four major sects would definitely retreat.
By then, the chance for their Yuanba Sect to become the hegemon of the southwest would become even rarer.
Their sect has six Heavenly Immortals, yet it can be said that there is almost no one who can truly break through to True Immortal.
In Jianyu, a True Immortal is almost considered top-tier.
Before the Sword Sect was established, in Jianyu, which was the original Xiao Nanyu, how many True Immortal realm Immortals were there? Only two digits, a few dozen at most.
The Yuanba Sect has a history of one hundred thousand years, yet not a single True Immortal has appeared to this day; without a True Immortal being born, wanting to give birth to one is extremely difficult.
Although with the appearance of the Sword Sect, a few True Immortal seniors have discussed the Tao and shared their experiences regarding breaking through to True Immortal.
However, these are just experiences, not something you can break through just by listening; if it were really like that, then those major sects would have endless True Immortal realm Immortals.
Perhaps those with extremely outstanding talent might be able to break through because of this shared experience.
But the vast majority of Heavenly Immortals can only grope along slowly, and then spend their whole lives unable to break through, only able to pass down their own experiences, hoping that one of the sect's future Heavenly Immortal juniors might luckily break through to True Immortal.
But clearly, the possibility of these few Heavenly Immortals of the Yuanba Sect breaking through is not high.
That is why they wanted to occupy the Qingyuan Sect when it was at its most declining, then swallow the Qingyuan Sect to become resources for their Yuanba Sect, and ultimately let their Yuanba Sect become the hegemon of the southwest.
And obtain the Inheritance of the Qingyuan Sect, and by doing so, draw lessons from the True Immortal Inheritance of the Qingyuan Sect, hoping to use this to give the sect's Heavenly Immortals a chance to glimpse the True Immortal realm.
It can be said that for these sects in Nanzhan Buzhou, every breakthrough is something that has experienced countless amounts of time and slowly accumulated.
The Yuanba Sect accumulated for one hundred thousand years to become a medium-sized sect, while the Qingyuan Sect is even longer, with a history of almost over a million years.
