Chapter 960: Untitled

"Brother Gai Nie, I never imagined that you would have made such a great name for yourself in Xiniu Hezhou; with a single command, there are actually hundreds, even thousands of people willing to follow you." On Qingfeng Shan in Xiao Nanyu, Su Fan, Zhang Liang, and Gai Nie were drinking tea and conversing in a pavilion on the mountain peak.

Zhang Liang opened his mouth with a tease.

However, Gai Nie only shook his head calmly: "I also do not know why they actually all agreed; originally, I only thought that if a few dozen people could come, it would be quite good."

"Haha! When the time comes, this place will become a holy land for Sword Dao; if developed with care, perhaps it might even become another Shushan Sword Sect in the future."

Su Fan said from the side with a smile.

Gai Nie had made a great name for himself in Xiniu Hezhou; after all, a Sword Immortal at the Golden Immortal level is, in itself, extremely rare.

It is true that in the Four Great Divine Continents, a Golden Immortal can be considered a master of a region, but the number is not exactly small; in Journey to the West, there were quite a few Demon Kings of the Golden Immortal level that appeared.

But a Sword Immortal at the Golden Immortal level is different; their combat power is comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and a Taiyi Golden Immortal is not a Golden Immortal.

For a Golden Immortal, perhaps some cultivators or those among the Ten Thousand Races with good fortune might be able to make a breakthrough, but for a Taiyi Golden Immortal, ten Yuanhui have already passed since the ancient Investiture of the Gods war.

Those who can break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal certainly exist, but they almost all come from the Great Sects, such as that Yang Jian type; they are either disciples of the Three Teachings, or the Buddhist Sect, or perhaps the Heavenly Court.

Of course, the Human Race is certainly not lacking.

However, the Human Race members are almost all of the Human Sage type.

Naturally, there are also some Heterodox Paths, or even the Demonic Path, but these people have Great Supernatural Beings standing behind them.

For ordinary small sects and factions, it is simply impossible.

To break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, the innate items required can now no longer be found, except in a few Dongtian Worlds.

Of course, going beyond the heavens offers some opportunities, in other worlds, to plunder the origin of those worlds.

This is also the reason why some Golden Immortals join the Heavenly Court to wage war on worlds beyond the heavens.

They are clear that relying on their own power, they cannot scheme for any innate items, so they can only go and fight.

Go and plunder the worlds beyond the heavens.

In this way, they might still have a sliver of possibility.

However, most people have died in the battlefields beyond the heavens.

After all, fighting with cultivators from other worlds, especially without the advantage of local terrain, naturally puts one at a disadvantage compared to other worlds.

Even if the Heavenly Court of the Honghuang Dixian Jie is powerful, so what? There are still losses.

Especially in the last ten thousand years of warring against the Xuanhuang Great World, the Heavenly Court and those Great Supernatural Beings have not gained any advantage; even Great Luo Golden Immortals have died in battle.

One must know that those are Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Since the Investiture of the Gods war, in the calamities that have occurred in the world, no Great Luo Golden Immortal had ever died in battle.

And in the Investiture of the Gods war, there were not even two Great Luo Golden Immortals who died; those like Zhao Gongming and the others, after dying, ascended to the Investiture of the Gods list and did not truly perish.

But those Great Luo Golden Immortals who went to the Xuanhuang Great World did not have the Investiture of the Gods list; if they died, they died, their bodies and spirits extinguished.

This is quite terrifying.

Even Great Luo Golden Immortals have died in battle, which shows the terrifying nature of that Xuanhuang Great World; as for the Golden Immortals, there is even less need to speak of them.

However, for ordinary factions, the Golden Immortal realm is the end; even if they reach the realm, it is still very difficult for them to continue breaking through.

Not to mention the Human Race in Nanzhan Buzhou, those Ten Thousand Races, especially the Demon Kings and others who have survived since ancient times, once their strength and cultivation reached the Golden Immortal realm, they could no longer break through.

Unless they join a certain great power.

But most Demon Kings are unruly and rebellious, and within the Taoist Sect, there is generally resistance toward these Demon Kings, and they are rarely accepted.

The Jie Sect of the past might have accepted all comers, but ever since there were Inner Sect Disciples who betrayed them, the remaining Jie Sect disciples, after establishing their own factions, have been very wary of these Demon Kings.

It is only the Buddhist Sect that is indiscriminate, but most Demon Kings also have a great sense of resistance toward the Buddhist Sect.

After all, some of the things the Buddhist Sect has done at times have left even those Demon Kings feeling shaken.

Therefore, most Demon Kings who want to break through choose the Heavenly Court.

First, the Heavenly Court is the master of the Three Realms, and in name, it is justifiable.

Secondly, the Heavenly Court was originally the divine court of the Demon Race, and furthermore, the resources of the Heavenly Court are the greatest.

This is also the reason why the Heavenly Court has become stronger and stronger since the Investiture of the Gods war.

It is also because it is difficult for Golden Immortals to break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal; naturally, over time, the gap between the two realms has become larger and larger.

The number of Golden Immortals, even in the Four Great Divine Continents of the Earth Immortal World, is quite large, but the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals has plummeted.

As for Great Luo Golden Immortals, even before the Investiture of the Gods war, they were not numerous.

Before the Investiture of the Gods war, how many Great Luo Golden Immortals were there among the disciples of the Three Teachings? Even for the Jie Sect, which was as strong as "Ten Thousand Immortals coming to court," there were no more than ten Great Luo Golden Immortals; as for the Chan Sect and Human Teachings, there were even fewer—the two combined likely did not reach five.

The Three Teachings could be said to be the middle strength of the Taoist Sect; the Taoist Sect still has many Great Supernatural Beings, but most of them are accustomed to being solitary, and very few are willing to take on disciples.

For example, the Taoist expert Zhenyuanzi has not taken on any disciples to this day, and other Taoist experts are the same.

Great Luo Golden Immortals are now extremely rare throughout the entire Honghuang world; since the Investiture of the Gods war, apart from the Human Race, almost no one has broken through to this realm.

Even among the disciples of the Three Teachings, only the Chan Sect and the Buddhist Sect, by borrowing the Qi of Luck after the calamity, have had a small number of breakthroughs.

The Human Race relied on the prosperous age of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The time when Honghuang was truly powerful was the period when the Witch and Demon Tribes coexisted; at that time, Honghuang could be said to have developed to the extreme.

It was truly a time where Golden Immortals were as common as dogs, and Great Luo Golden Immortals walked everywhere.

The Witch and Demon Tribes each had no fewer than fifty Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Imagine the Witch Tribe at that time; there were no fewer than a hundred Great Witches. Not to say that every one of them had the combat power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but most of them did have the combat power of a Great Luo.

The Demon Race was no exception; the Demon Race unified the Ten Thousand Races and the stars, so their strength can be imagined, plus those Purple Heaven Guests.

Therefore, the Honghuang of that time was the most magnificent.

Unfortunately, prosperity leads to decline; this is an eternal truth. Then the Witch-Demon war occurred, and after Buzhoushan was knocked down, the Honghuang world became unstable.

And then it became what it is today.

It can be said that all of this in Honghuang is also the Great Trend of the world, and in the end, it will also move toward the Law of Destruction.

Of course, the destruction of Honghuang and the calamity are still very far away.

However, in the current Earth Immortal World, Taiyi Golden Immortals are indeed as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns among mortals, so Gai Nie's combat power, which is comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, naturally carries great fame in Xiniu Hezhou.

Furthermore, by slaying demons and eliminating devils, Gai Nie has also stirred up a trend of righteousness within the Taoist Sect.
