Chapter 748: Untitled
"What exactly happened to the Purple Firmament Sect? Such a big change in just a hundred years?"
The original body of the Purple Firmament Sect was a sect formed by the union of the Yunyang Sect and several cultivation families; although its strength was not bad, placed in these small countries in the south of the Southern Wilderness Continent, it was at most first-class.
But in these nearly a hundred years, the strength of the Purple Firmament Sect had grown too fast, already catching up to the Shangling Sect of Chen State back then.
The Shangling Sect back then had Golden Core cultivators reaching the number of two palms; of course, the hidden Nascent Soul stage cultivator was unknown to outsiders.
But even so, it was already very powerful.
Placed in the State of Wu, it was also a top-tier existence among the second-class.
Being able to compare to the Shangling Sect, placed in these many small countries in the south, was quite powerful.
What exactly happened over these years?
"If this person breaks through, then the Purple Firmament Sect will be incredible."
Several Purple Mansion cultivators stared fixedly at the phenomenon in the sky; they all knew that once the Purple Firmament Sect gave birth to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it would change the situation of the six southern countries of the Southern Wilderness Continent.
The six southern countries of the Southern Wilderness Continent were all small countries; the strongest originally should have been Chen State, and the weakest, Yu State, was annexed by Zheng State.
However, because of the civil strife in Chen State, the Shangling Sect was destroyed, and the strength of Chen State was greatly weakened, while Zheng State was now catching up.
Although it could not compare to Chen State in its peak period, once the Purple Firmament Sect appeared with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it would be absolutely different.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator and a Golden Core cultivator were quite different; ten ninth-layer Golden Core cultivators were not the opponent of one first-layer Nascent Soul cultivator.
So once a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was born, the situation of the many forces in the six southern countries would also change again.
Everyone had ambition; once they had a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they believed the Purple Firmament Sect would inevitably expand.
By then, where would the forces of the six southern countries go?
It was feared that war would also begin.
Major forces would inevitably not be willing to see their interests swallowed up.
"Alas! Once this person breaks through, there will be no peaceful days in the southern countries from now on."
A Purple Mansion cultivator sighed, his eyes filled with complex expressions.
The birth of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the six southern countries was a good thing, as it would also make the four northern countries no longer look down on them.
After all, the six southern countries had never given birth to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, which made them, these southern cultivators, unable to lift their heads.
Some cultivators who went north were often looked down upon.
Although one Nascent Soul stage cultivator was still a large gap compared to the twenty-plus Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the four northern countries.
But at least they in the south also had Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Having one meant there could be two, and even three.
But at the same time, they were also afraid that the Purple Firmament Sect would have a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and want to expand, and other forces would not be willing, which would lead to war, and they, these sect disciples, would inevitably have to go to the front lines.
War inevitably had casualties, and they could not guarantee that they would survive in the great battle.
After all, battles between sects were often more dangerous than demon beast invasions.
After all, generally, when demons invaded, as long as the preparations were sufficient, relying on the great formation, the demon army would find it hard to achieve anything.
Over these thousands of years, demon beast tides had occurred many times, and the few small countries in the south had rarely suffered losses.
Perhaps there were some losses each time, losing some cultivation markets, but it was rare for spirit veins to be breached.
And every time they repelled the demon army, there were also quite a few gains.
Whereas facing battles between humans, it was even more dangerous; after all, compared to the Demon Clans, humans had more means.
These Purple Mansion cultivators knew very well that once a great battle started, all kinds of means would be used, and their danger would greatly increase.
So their mood at this moment was quite complex; they both hoped that the other party would succeed in breaking through, and did not hope that the other party could break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, regardless of whether they hoped or not, they could not do anything.
Because they knew they simply could not stop it; the area within a thousand miles of Yunyangshan had long since been under martial law.
Ordinary cultivators could not feel anything, but they, these few, were all late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators and could naturally perceive a trace of elusive divine sense.
Obviously, their identities had long been exposed, and the disciples of the Purple Firmament Sect had long since kept an eye on them.
They just quietly stayed in place, watching from afar as that senior attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage; that was fine, but once they had any actions, they would inevitably suffer a thunderous blow from the Purple Firmament Sect.
The Golden Core cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators of the Purple Firmament Sect were becoming more and more numerous.
"Watch!"
Bolai sighed, then quietly waited, his heart even more hoping that the other party would fail to break through.
This way, the six southern countries would not have too big a wave.
Unfortunately, reality always had so many dissatisfactions; he hoped the other party would fail.
But soon, he was disappointed; three days later, the phenomenon of heaven and earth changed again.
"Actually succeeded!"
"How is that possible?"
Above the peak of Yunyangshan, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and thunder rolled, shrouding the main peak of Yunyangshan.
Seeing those thunder clouds, everyone understood that the other party had completed the first step of condensing the Nascent Soul, and only needed to survive the thunder tribulation in the sky to become a genuine Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
"This is too unbelievable."
They did not expect that this person would succeed so quickly, as if they had not encountered any difficulties.
One must know that condensing the Nascent Soul, this first step of attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, was not so simple.
In these hundred thousand years in the six southern countries, it was not that there were no peak Golden Core cultivators; in fact, even in these thousands of years, there had been dozens of Golden Core cultivators who had attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
But the vast majority of peak Golden Core cultivators failed at this first step, unable to condense the Nascent Soul, and as a result, their dantian was damaged.
And most cultivators had almost no chance of a second attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in their entire lives.
So it led to the fact that now, in the six southern countries, there was not yet a Nascent Soul stage cultivator; of course, this was on the surface; perhaps some cultivators from the six southern countries left here and broke through elsewhere.
Maybe no one knew; for example, the Shangling Sect had a Nascent Soul stage cultivator; of course, he left the Southern Wilderness Continent to break through.
Obviously, in the six southern countries, because of resources and experience problems, this first step stumped many Golden Core cultivators.
Now, seeing the other party break through so easily, these people were suddenly somewhat unable to bear it.
The first step was broken through, so there was a fifty percent chance of becoming a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
"Don't be anxious, this thunder tribulation is not so easy to pass."
"Once crossing the tribulation, it is either life or death."
This might be even more serious than the first step; after all, failing the first step of attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage was at most an injury, but the second step of crossing the tribulation was different. ===== CHAPTER 749 =====
