Chapter 819: Untitled

Su Wanjun invited Su Fan to head to the Tian Yan Sect and ask the people of the Tian Yan Sect to take action.

Su Fan neither agreed nor refused.

He naturally understood the Tian Yan Sect; he had encountered quite a few top-tier sects from Zhongzhou, Donghai, and beyond.

After all, as a powerhouse at the Primordial Spirit Stage who had also made great contributions during the Anti-Demonic War, Su Fan would naturally not be overlooked by forces from either the local Donghai or those from Zhongzhou.

Many people came to pay their respects to him, and naturally, he learned quite a bit about Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou still existed in the form of an imperial dynasty, but although the current dynasty still existed, it could not compare to the ancient dynasty ruled by the Human Emperor during the ancient times.

The current dynasty, while still very powerful, could at most be considered a top-tier one, and in terms of strength, it might not necessarily compare to an ancient sect like the Shangqing Sect.

It was to be expected; the Zhongzhou dynasty had gone through many changes and was no longer the ancient dynasty. The current dynasty bore the surname Changfeng and had been established for three hundred thousand years.

Compared to those ancient sects, it was still lacking by quite a bit.

However, although the dynasty was established recently, the Changfeng Clan was originally an ancient family that could be ranked among the ancient dynasties; during the era of the Human Emperor, the Changfeng Clan was already not weak.

In terms of historical foundation, the Changfeng Clan was not inferior to some top-tier sects in terms of time.

Of course, although the history of the Changfeng Imperial Dynasty was short, its strength was not weak; among the ten top-tier forces in Zhongzhou, the Changfeng Imperial Dynasty was ranked fifth.

The first was considered to be the Shangqing Sect.

As for the Tian Yan Sect, Su Fan knew it had not yet reached the top-tier level and could only be considered upper-middle among the first-tier.

There were ten top-tier forces in Zhongzhou, thirty-six first-tier ones, and one hundred and eight first-tier sect and family forces in Dongyu.

Counting the Four Seas and Four Regions according to the Zhongzhou first-tier standard, there were no more than two hundred.

Dongyu occupied almost half, which showed the terrifying nature of Dongyu, and Zhongzhou occupied one-third of Dongyu.

The power of Zhongzhou could be imagined.

As one of the thirty-six first-tier sects, the Tian Yan Sect's strength was ranked in the middle.

However, Su Fan was clear that the status of the Tian Yan Sect was much higher, and it would not be inferior to those first-tier sects ranked in the top few.

In terms of influence, this was even more so.

During the era of the ancient dynasty, the Tian Yan Sect was actually a department similar to the Imperial Observatory of the dynasty.

The Tian Yan Sect was also established by the descendants of those departments, and it possessed secret techniques for deducing the affairs of the world, which were quite formidable.

And some commercial places in Yuanyang Jie that gathered information were all related to people from the Tian Yan Sect and similar sects.

The Tian Yan Sect did not have any Primordial Spirit Stage cultivators, but generally, even top-tier forces would not easily provoke them.

Of course, if Su Fan were to go, he would certainly be treated as an honored guest by the former, and the Tian Yan Sect would certainly not refuse his requests.

Just as Lu Qingshan and the others believed, Baichong Zhenjun acted like the Demonic Path, so investigating him was not a bad thing.

It was just that Su Fan had no time for now to head to Zhongzhou; the journey alone would take several years, and the refining of the Sixth-Rank Golden Man Puppet was also reaching a critical juncture, so he could not easily leave.

As for the threat of Baichong Zhenjun, Lu Qingshan and the others were worried.

But Su Fan did not take it to heart; as long as he was still at the Zixiao Sect, the latter would never dare to invade.

The stronger the Zixiao Sect was, the less opportunity the opponent would have.

Did one not see the Yuanding Sect? Although some were secretly controlled, they were only Golden Core cultivators and those below the Golden Core.

He clearly did not dare to make a move against those at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Moreover, everyone in the Zixiao Sect had practiced the Innate Purple Qi Secret Technique; the higher their cultivation, the easier it was to deal with those Gu Insects, and the stronger their resistance would be.

If one truly cultivated the Purple Qi Secret Technique to a profound level, even if Baichong Zhenjun came to invade in person, I am afraid that even Golden Core Peak cultivators would have a chance to break free.

At that time, as long as there was a moment to break free, for Baichong Zhenjun, it would be a catastrophic disaster.

One could call for help; with so many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Zixiao Sect surrounding him all at once, unless Baichong Zhenjun was at the Primordial Spirit Stage.

From the Yuanding Sect, Su Fan knew what kind of person Baichong Zhenjun was; it could not be said that he bullied the weak and feared the strong, but rather that the former was extremely cautious.

Most of the Golden Core cultivators controlled in the Yuanding Sect were those at the early Golden Core stage.

Even if they were controlled, the impact on the Yuanding Sect was not significant, and it could not be compared to the Nanfeng Family.

There was even less need to mention the Zixiao Sect.

If he continued to stay at the Zixiao Sect for another few hundred or a thousand years, and Lu Qingshan and the others' cultivation levels increased, then that guy would probably be even less likely to come over.

Although Lu Qingshan and those people had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, with his guidance, their cultivation speed was not slow.

Especially after encountering bottlenecks, the time needed to break through after receiving guidance was much less than that of outside cultivators.

Those top-tier major sects could frequently produce Nascent Soul middle and late-stage cultivators precisely because of the Inheritance and experience left behind by the Grand Masters.

Absorbing the experience left by these predecessors made their cultivation path much smoother.

Although sometimes everyone's cultivation was different, having the reference of predecessors made the possibility of breaking through much greater.

Lu Qingshan was already at the Nascent Soul middle stage, and it had been several hundred years since he became a Nascent Soul cultivator.

To be able to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer from the Nascent Soul First Layer in just a few hundred years, besides the necessary resources, there was also the guidance Su Fan had given previously.

Su Fangu's high-level guidance allowed him to avoid many detours, especially listening to Su Fan's preaching, which caused their realms to improve significantly.

This was the reason why Lu Qingshan and the others improved so quickly.

Otherwise, with Lu Qingshan himself, I am afraid it would be good if he could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Second Layer.

Look at the Yuanding Sect; those few Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were mostly at the early Nascent Soul stage, or even just the first or second layer.

At least they still had the guidance of that Taishang Great Elder in the sect; otherwise, they might have been at the Nascent Soul First Layer for their entire lives.

Many Loose Cultivator Nascent Soul stages found it very difficult to break through the early Nascent Soul stage in their entire lives.

In Nanhuang, there were not many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators; including the sects, there were no more than thirty, and among them, those Nascent Soul stages who were Loose Cultivators could probably be counted on one hand.

These few Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators did not exceed the early Nascent Soul stage in cultivation; almost all were at the Nascent Soul First Layer, and the only one at the Nascent Soul Third Layer, it seemed, had already joined the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce and become an Alchemist Elder of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce.

The Tiannan Chamber of Commerce was a commercial organization and was not considered a sect force.

After all, it was composed of multiple families and some Loose Cultivators.

That Nascent Soul Third Layer Alchemist did not have a low status in Nanhuang; after all, he was a Fifth-Rank middle-grade Alchemist, and in the entire Nanhuang, there were only two such Fifth-Rank middle-grade ones.

The status of an Alchemist goes without saying; at the fifth-rank mid-grade, one can refine at least two or three types of Fifth-Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Pills, and naturally, this includes some medicinal pills that enhance magic power.

For a cultivator at the Yuanying Chuji realm, although the effect is not significant, it still has a certain degree of efficacy.
