Chapter 762: Resisting Demons

"Mingye is back."

"Senior Brother (Junior Brother) Mingye."

In the main hall of the Purple Firmament Sect's mountain gate, a group of sect high-level members gathered together. Su Wanjun brought Su Mingye to arrive. Some young elders looked at Su Mingye, and after finishing their greetings with Su Wanjun, they immediately stepped forward.

Clearly, Su Mingye's status among these people was very high.

There were more than a hundred people in the main hall, all high-level members of the sect.

The Purple Firmament Sect had more than a dozen halls. These people were responsible for these halls, either as elders or as deacons.

Golden Core stage cultivators would automatically be promoted to elders, and the indispensable Purple Mansion cultivators would also be promoted to elders.

Of course, these must be those who had made great contributions to the sect or possessed very formidable techniques.

For example, Su Mingye was promoted to an elder of the Battle Hall when he was in the late-stage Purple Mansion.

And Lin Zhentian also became a young elder when he was in the Purple Mansion stage. Lin Zhentian was a direct descendant of Lin Taihe.

He had talent in alchemy and was taught personally by Lin Taihe. Just in the Purple Mansion stage, he had already reached the level of a fourth-rank alchemist.

In terms of alchemy, it could be said to be the best of the young generation of the Purple Firmament Sect, and there was even a possibility of surpassing Lin Taihe in the future.

Of course, there were other talented disciples.

More than a hundred people were the true masters of the Purple Firmament Sect.

And sitting above the main hall, those five were the true pillars of the Purple Firmament Sect, five Nascent Soul cultivators, one more than what was known to the outside world.

"Is everyone here?"

Lu Qingshan glanced at Su Fan, who had been in a state of closing his eyes and resting his mind, so he stood out to preside over this meeting.

The other three Nascent Soul cultivators also sat on the side, listening quietly.

After Lu Qingshan's voice fell, the entire main hall, originally chatting, also sat up straight one after another.

As a Nascent Soul ancestor, Lu Qingshan's status in the Purple Firmament Sect had always been very high. After all, most of the disciples grew up listening to his deeds.

He was an elder of the Purple Firmament Sect.

The Purple Firmament Sect had been established for three or four hundred years. Lu Qingshan had cultivated from the eighth layer of the Golden Core stage back then to the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage now, becoming a famous Nascent Soul cultivator in the Southern Wilderness Continent.

Lu Qingshan knew that he could have today, all because of the support of the one sitting in the middle.

Of course, not only him, but the other three Nascent Soul cultivators were also supported by Su Fan.

Among them, Wu You and Jian Chen, like Lu Qingshan, were all piled up to the Nascent Soul stage by Su Fan using Nascent Soul Pills and Nourishing Spirit Pills.

Especially Jian Chen, who consumed two Nascent Soul Pills and Nourishing Spirit Pills, and he only succeeded after impacting twice.

However, Jian Chen's talent was even stronger. Even though he used it twice, his potential was always above Wu You's.

Both of them broke through to the Nascent Soul stage two hundred years ago, and Jian Chen even broke through later. But now, Jian Chen had already reached the second layer peak of the Nascent Soul stage, while Wu You was still at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the last brawny man, he wasn't actually human, but a member of the Demon race, but he was subdued by Su Fan.

His strength was the strongest in the Purple Firmament Sect, with a full fourth-layer Nascent Soul cultivation, and now with the artifacts given by Su Fan, even when facing a human fifth-layer Nascent Soul cultivator, he had the possibility of fighting.

Nowadays, even without Su Fan, the Purple Firmament Sect's strength was quite powerful.

In the Southern Wilderness Continent, except for the Yuanding Sect, it could be said that there were almost no forces that could suppress it.

There were only one or two forces comparable to it, with four Nascent Soul cultivators.

It was just that in terms of Purple Mansion and Golden Core, the Purple Firmament Sect was fewer.

After all, the Purple Firmament Sect had been established for too short a time, only less than four hundred years, and the foundation of the cultivators was not enough.

If the Purple Firmament Sect had thousands of years, surpassing the Yuanding Sect in strength probably wouldn't be too much of a problem.

"Everyone, the time for the ten-thousand-year invasion of the Yuan Yang Realm is getting closer and closer. It is estimated that in less than fifty years, the Demon race will invade."

"According to past experience, our Southern Wilderness Continent must send at least five Nascent Soul or higher cultivators, and perhaps even ten. There must be at least one hundred Golden Cores and two thousand Purple Mansions."

"The strength of our Purple Firmament Sect can no longer be hidden. At that time, it is very likely that we will need to send two Nascent Soul cultivators and ten Golden Cores."

The hegemon of the Southern Wilderness Continent was the Yuanding Sect, but the Yuanding Sect certainly wasn't willing to send out its own sect's power.

After all, in the great battle with the Demon race, the mortality rate was still very high. Even Nascent Soul cultivators had no possibility of saving their lives on the battlefield.

Only those late-stage Nascent Soul great cultivators might have a higher chance of surviving.

In the previous few great battles, the Yuanding Sect suffered quite a few losses here. Although there was compensation after every great battle, most of the strength was still at a loss.

Losing a Nascent Soul cultivator was quite a big blow to a force.

It was fortunate that the Yuanding Sect had a deep foundation, and before the Southern Wilderness Continent, there weren't many forces that could threaten it; otherwise, the Yuanding Sect probably wouldn't exist.

At its peak, the Yuanding Sect's strength could even catch up to the Six Harmonies Gate of Yunzhou. As a result, it experienced a Demon race invasion and lost several Nascent Soul cultivators all at once.

This caused the Yuanding Sect to suffer a great injury. Coupled with the rise of that Poison Jiao in the Poison Dragon Swamp, the two sides fought a great battle, and the Yuanding Sect lost quite a few again.

Up to now, the Nascent Soul stage of the Yuanding Sect had reached ten.

From this, it could be seen that the Demon race invasion great battle was quite dangerous.

Since then, the Yuanding Sect wouldn't send more disciples, and every time it would strongly pressure other forces to send Nascent Soul cultivators to follow.

This was also why the Qingmu Sect and the Yuanding Sect were at odds. Back then, it was the Yuanding Sect that strongly pressured the Qingmu Sect to send two Nascent Soul cultivators.

As a result, those two, one died and one was seriously injured. The seriously injured one persisted for a hundred years before dying.

That time almost finished the Qingmu Sect. Fortunately, they persisted, and then over these years, they slowly recovered a certain amount of strength.

And then over these years, they united with other Nascent Soul level forces to jointly oppose the Yuanding Sect.

The relationship between the Yuanding Sect and other Nascent Soul level forces in the Southern Wilderness Continent was very tense, which was also the case.

Every ten-thousand-year Demon race invasion, the Yuanding Sect would only send one Nascent Soul cultivator, and the rest would be left to other sects.

One could imagine that the leader who retreated, naturally other forces wouldn't be reconciled.

The relationship between the two sides was getting worse and worse.

The Purple Firmament Sect had four Nascent Soul cultivators, so it would inevitably be targeted by the Yuanding Sect. After all, the Yuanding Sect's strength was increasing so quickly, and it would soon be able to threaten the Yuanding Sect's status as hegemon.

The former would inevitably try every means to suppress it.

And the Yuanding Sect doing this wouldn't be blamed by those forces in the Central Plains. After all, going to the East Sea to resist the Demon race was the responsibility of the cultivators of the Yuan Yang Realm.

"Ancestor Lu, going to the East Sea to resist the Demon race, as immortal cultivators, we are duty-bound, but we cannot follow the Yuanding Sect."
