Chapter 768

The disciples of the outer sects were extremely envious of the Zixiao Sect disciples; who wouldn't want to have a powerful mountain gate as a backer?

Especially the major forces of the southern six states, they watched with their own eyes as the strength of the Zixiao Sect changed from Golden Core level to Nascent Soul level, and it was not just an ordinary Nascent Soul level.

In just a few hundred years, several Nascent Soul stage cultivators have already appeared.

What secrets are behind this, and what exactly has the Zixiao Sect obtained?

Everyone wants to get to the bottom of it, but now, they dare not have any thoughts. If the Zixiao Sect only had one Nascent Soul stage cultivator, they might still have a chance.

But now, the Zixiao Sect has about five Nascent Soul stage cultivators; even if all the forces of the southern six states were added together, it would not be enough for the Zixiao Sect to kill.

Do you not see that even the overlord of the Nanhuang Continent, the Yuanding Sect, is helpless against the Zixiao Sect?

The Yuanding Sect's strength might be stronger than the Zixiao Sect's, but they will not truly go to war with the Zixiao Sect; when both sides are evenly matched, they tend to be cautious.

For example, the Qingmu Sect only has two or three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, yet the Yuanding Sect has been unable to destroy it to this day.

Besides the fact that there are other Nascent Soul stage sects allied with it, it is also because the Yuanding Sect worries that if they truly force the Qingmu Sect to death, the latter will fight to the death, and the Yuanding Sect will inevitably suffer no small losses.

Losing one Nascent Soul stage cultivator is a major blow to the Yuanding Sect.

After all, the Yuanding Sect has an even greater enemy, which is the Poison Dragon Swamp; that Poison Flood Dragon in the Poison Dragon Swamp is eyeing them covetously.

It is precisely because of this that the Zixiao Sect has been able to develop so smoothly to the Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, it also has to do with the Yuanding Sect's carelessness.

After all, no one could have imagined that in these few hundred years, the Zixiao Sect could have cultivators breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage one after another.

Even the Yuanding Sect could not do it.

But now the Zixiao Sect has completely risen; even the Yuanding Sect cannot underestimate it, let alone these forces of the southern six states.

They are even more afraid to reveal any thoughts.

Don't look at the fact that the Zixiao Sect is not harsh toward the six states on a daily basis, but whoever dares to violate the Zixiao Sect's bottom line will suffer a thunderous blow.

In these years, one or two Golden Core forces have also been destroyed by the Zixiao Sect.

"I heard that the Ying clan has already joined the Zixiao Sect."

"It seems so; it was thirty years ago that they truly integrated into the Zixiao Sect."

"I didn't expect this Ying clan to be so weak."

Some cultivators, upon hearing this, immediately showed mocking expressions on their faces.

However, in the next second, this guy was ridiculed by other cultivators around him: "The Ying clan is weak? Kid, you're an outsider."

One old man at the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion stage looked at this youth-faced cultivator and sneered: "Do you know the strength of the Ying clan? You must know that the ancestor of the Ying clan is already a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse."

"They are considered the second Nascent Soul stage family in the six states; do you think they would be weak with such strength?"

"The Ying clan is the smartest one."

The old man looked at the surrounding cultivators who had all turned their gazes over, a smile appearing on his face, and then continued: "Not to mention that the ancestor of the Ying clan was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage by relying on the Zixiao Sect."

"Even without this relationship, the other party joining the Zixiao Sect now seems to be the most correct step."

"In the East Sea, resisting the Demon Race, the cultivators who go, even if they are at the Golden Core stage, are in a life-and-death situation."

"As a Golden Core family, the Ying clan would inevitably have to send out Golden Core cultivators; how many of them would be able to return?"

"Once there are losses, for the Ying clan, it would be a major injury; if they encounter beast tides or something, I'm afraid there's no guarantee they won't face the crisis of being destroyed."

"Don't think that this old man is fear-mongering; as long as you can read the records of the Nanhuang Continent, you will understand how many Golden Core families have perished and how many Nascent Soul stage sects have disappeared every time the Demon Race invaded."

"The Ying clan joined the Zixiao Sect, the Ying clan is still an immortal cultivation family, and the Ying clan is still there. After joining the Zixiao Sect, they can reduce the number of family disciples sent out, and at the same time, upon reaching the battlefield, with the protection of the treasure ship above, the survival rate is greatly increased."

After finishing, he looked at the fifth-tier treasure ship in the sky; perhaps they would be able to sit on it and head to the East Sea.

But whether they can follow it the whole way is not certain; who knows how many people this treasure ship can accommodate.

But the southern six states are going to send out at least five hundred thousand cultivators; I am afraid that a portion of them will likely be kicked off once they reach the East Sea.

Although the Zixiao Sect's style is not bad on a daily basis, it is not a saint; even if they protect, they only protect the affiliated forces of the Zixiao Sect.

Although the southern six states nominally respect the Zixiao Sect, it does not mean that all forces are truly affiliates of the Zixiao Sect.

Some forces have intricate relationships with those Nascent Soul stage sects in the north.

These forces have always acted as nails to prevent the Zixiao Sect from continuing to expand.

This point is actually known to all parties in the southern six states, but for some reason, the Zixiao Sect never takes action, so naturally, the other parties all pretend not to know.

But right now, with this Immortal Alliance summons issued, many forces have suddenly softened.

Although many forces did not participate in the last great war against the Demon Race, the records left behind are real.

In the southern six states of the Nanhuang Continent, there are actually quite a few forces that participated in the last great war between humans and demons; some have declined and degenerated.

But those bloody records of theirs are real.

Without the protection of powerful forces, forces like the Golden Core level can only act as cannon fodder; how could the major forces not know this?

So the Ying clan's choice can be said to be normal; what's more, after joining the Zixiao Sect, that ancestor of the Ying clan also became a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The outside world says he broke through by closing his doors.

But anyone who truly believes his words is a fool; without the support of the Zixiao Sect, how could that ancestor of the Ying clan have succeeded in his breakthrough?

What the Ying clan is like, don't all parties know? It was about the same as the previous Yunyang Sect, but after joining the Zixiao Sect, it is different.

In just these few decades, two Golden Core level cultivators have been born.

It is said that there was another one who failed the breakthrough, but is still recovering from injuries.

For the Ying clan, he is naturally envious; joining the Zixiao Sect is something he naturally has expectations for as well.

But unfortunately, wanting to join the Zixiao Sect now is not so easy; it also requires a threshold of qualifications.

It is not the case that any force can join.

For example, now, the Zixiao Sect's recruitment of disciples has become even more stringent; it is very difficult for outside loose cultivators to want to join the Zixiao Sect.

After all, the Zixiao Sect is now a Nascent Soul stage force and has long since left its weak period; with hundreds of thousands of disciples in the sect, they are not lacking in cultivators.

Wouldn't it be better to slowly collect young children and cultivate them from a young age?
