Chapter 309: Where is the Sense of Morality?

Among the top one hundred young geniuses on the Shenzhou ranking, the majority are in super sects, large immortal sects account for twenty percent, medium-sized immortal sects account for less than ten percent, and as for small immortal sects, there are almost none.

The large, medium, and small immortal sects mentioned here are determined by the cultivation level and number of great cultivators.

Those with a Spirit Transformation True Monarch presiding are called super sects.

Those with a True Spirit Realm cultivator presiding are considered large sects.

Those with a Spirit Transformation True Monarch presiding are medium-sized immortal sects.

Those with more than three Danyuan Realm cultivators are considered small sects.

Those sects with only one or two Danyuan Realm cultivators are currently not even ranked, and as for those immortal sects that do not even have a Danyuan Realm cultivator, they do not even have the qualifications to come and participate in the assembly.

Therefore, although this ranking list is not complete, it almost encompasses the young generation of disciples of all powerful immortal sects in Shenzhou, and basically, one can understand the changes in the strength of each immortal sect in the next few decades or hundreds of years.

Apart from character introductions, these rankings naturally also contain some character portraits; as long as one has seen them, relying on a cultivator's powerful soul perception and memory ability, one can almost achieve photographic memory.

But the young cultivator who suddenly appeared today and defeated two Danyuan Realm powerhouses of the Junwang Hall is not on the ranking list, and his strength is terrifyingly peerless.

It seems that the Thunder God Hall also has no news or records of this person.

Could it be that he is also not a person from the Thunder God Hall?

As several Danyuan Realm cultivators who came to investigate spread what they observed, this news soon spread like a hurricane among the cultivators who came to the assembly; while everyone was extremely surprised after hearing it, they were also full of excitement and anticipation.

The consistently domineering and aggressive Junwang Hall has suffered such a big loss, and it is feared that they will soon be furious.

Perhaps before the Immortal Alliance Assembly, a huge disturbance will break out.

The Junwang Hall enters the Dao through martial arts, focusing on body cultivation and Qi refining, with heart cultivation as a supplement, so the temperaments of the cultivators, big and small, within the sect are relatively fiery, carrying a sense of wildness from the pugilistic world, which is different from all other immortal sect cultivators.

It is precisely because of this that the Junwang Hall has constant conflicts with other immortal sect cultivators, and the accumulated grudges are hard to eliminate for generations.

Therefore, seeing the Junwang Hall suddenly being made to look so disgraced, the emotions flowing secretly throughout the assembly site were also mainly schadenfreude.

Some people even started asking around about the origins of Xu Chen and the young girl in red.

However, the feedback received left everyone confused again.

It is said that along with Xu Chen and his junior sister, there was also an elderly man in the mid-Danyuan Realm who had appeared in the tea house at the scene of the battle; the three of them had appeared near Langya Mountain for at most less than half an hour, and as for where they came from or which kingdom's cultivators they were, no one knew at all.

As the fifth-ranked super sect in Shenzhou, the Junwang Hall's magic treasure palace is placed on the top of Langya Mountain, occupying the best location, with cliffs on three sides and facing the Bohai Sea.

Inside the palace, several Spirit Realm great cultivators and core elders and disciples of the Danyuan Realm and Zhenyuan Realm were all gathered here, meditating and practicing to prepare for the upcoming great battle.

In addition, many disciples also used this time to open shops at the foot of the mountain to collect various Spirit Medicines and Spirit Materials, and sell various Spirit Pills and Magic Treasures.

Trading and discussing the Dao have always been indispensable programs for various immortal sect gatherings.

The Junwang Hall is divided into three sects: the Instrument Sect, the Pill Sect, and the Law Sect.

As the name suggests, these three sects have their own focuses, but the Junwang Hall is not much different from other immortal cultivation sects; alchemy is still the most core industry and secret, so the Pill Sect is the largest and strongest faction in the Junwang Hall; Daokong Shenjun comes from the Pill Sect, and there is also a Supreme Elder in the late Spirit Transformation stage in the sect who also comes from the Pill Sect.

As one of the only five super sects in Shenzhou, the total number of disciples in the Junwang Hall exceeds ten thousand; the Pill Sect alone has nearly four thousand people, which is more than the number of people in large sects like Yuqing Hall that also belong to the top ten immortal sects in Shenzhou.

For this assembly, the Junwang Hall not only brought nearly four thousand disciples but also prepared countless Spirit Pills, Magic Treasures, and various resources to provide sufficient logistical support for this operation.

Of course, these guarantees are not free, but all cost money, and are even more expensive than usual.

But in times of life-and-death crisis, being able to buy Spirit Pills to save one's life with money is definitely a great favor.

Therefore, although the Junwang Hall has the suspicion of taking advantage of the fire to make war profits, it indeed gave all the big and small cultivators who came to participate in the assembly some psychological comfort.

And the Green Spirit Recovery Jade Pill, which is not often used by the Junwang Hall on weekdays, has unexpectedly become an absolutely hot item at this assembly.

Regardless of whether they are injured or not, cultivators all want to scrape together their savings to prepare one to save their lives.

Lin Qiu Ya is a cultivator from the Ziyang Sect of the Ming Kingdom, and the Ming Kingdom happens to be the area where the Underworld Qi leakage and Nether Beast activity are the most rampant.

As one of the top three large sects in the Ming Kingdom, the Ziyang Sect naturally has an unshirkable responsibility to quell the Black Wind and kill the Nether Beasts.

Lin Qiu Ya therefore constantly went deep into the Black Wind front line to fight with Nether Beasts, and her soul was injured by a Nether Beast during the battle.

Although the Ziyang Sect is considered famous in the Ming Kingdom, in the entire Shenzhou, it can barely be considered a medium-to-small sect, and at the moment, it is even inferior to the Taiyuan Sect.

Although the Taiyuan Sect is also not in the mainstream, at least Xuanchen Zhenjun is already in the mid-Spirit Transformation stage, and apart from having fewer people, it seems that the overall strength is still a tiny bit stronger.

Lin Qiu Ya came to participate in the assembly this time following the Supreme Elder, True Monarch Guangyun, so she also wanted to find a Spirit Pill to repair her soul in the trading market; she happened to hear that the Junwang Hall's Green Spirit Recovery Jade Pill had a very good effect, so she went to prepare to buy it, not wanting to happen to run into the Young Sect Master of the Pill Sect.

When the Young Sect Master saw Lin Qiu Ya, he was immediately covetous of her beauty and teased her a few times on the spot; Lin Qiu Ya retreated in shame, but she did not expect the Young Sect Master to actually arrange for people to chase after her.

This is the general process of how she and Xu Chen met.

While the outside world was noisy and everywhere was promoting and asking about the ins and outs and inside story of this matter, the three of Xu Chen had already taken Lin Qiu Ya to another trading market more than ten miles away from the scene of the incident, looking for a quiet Spirit Tea Workshop, drinking tea while listening to Lin Qiu Ya explain the course of events.

And after figuring it out, Xu Chen gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect such a large sect as the Junwang Hall to be so base, bullying men and women in the street; where is their sense of morality and shame?"

Guilingzi said: "Daoist Friend Xu does not need to be angry; the Junwang Hall has always acted like this. After I formed my Golden Core, I once joined a few Daoist friends to explore an ancient ruin and happened to encounter a Third-Tier Thunder Beast. We finally managed to grind this Thunder Beast to its last breath, but I didn't expect it to be snatched away by a group of people from the Junwang Hall in the end. Two of our companions were also injured. After I returned to the mountain, I asked the sect elders to make a decision, but in the end, it was left unsettled. At that time, the Junwang Hall did not have a Shenjun great cultivator, and its strength was not as tyrannical as it is now. Now that they have a Shenjun presiding, it is reasonable for them to be even more arrogant."

Xu Chen could only sigh and say: "The Immortal World is indeed not a place that talks about reason."

Ling Yuzhen could not help but nod, and with a mature and steady look, said: "What you said is very right."

Xu Chen was suddenly unable to laugh or cry and said: "Senior... Junior Sister, are you really not afraid of causing me trouble? Why did you push me out just now? I originally wanted to secretly harass the people of the Junwang Hall and then ask Senior Guilingzi to take action to save Daoist Friend Lin. With such a scene now, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble if I am recognized. I haven't even saved my own people yet."

Ling Yuzhen giggled and said: "A real man, what is the point of stabbing people in the back? If you want to save someone, just beat them up openly and honestly. What about the Junwang Hall? They are just a bunch of soft-bodied guys. Are you afraid?"

Xu Chen suddenly had black lines all over his head and said: "I'm not afraid, but I still want to keep a low profile as much as possible. People who are high-profile die quickly. I still want to live a few more years safely. Being targeted by a top sect like the Junwang Hall, I will have to be careful everywhere in the future."

Ling Yuzhen also seemed to feel that she had not considered it carefully enough; after all, her identity was completely different from Xu Chen's. He was not afraid, but that did not mean Xu Chen was not afraid, so she gently rubbed Xiaobai's scalp and said: "The matter has already passed, and it is useless to say more. What do you want to do next?"

Xu Chen said: "Naturally, continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the two senior sisters. Only after finding them can we determine the next arrangements."

Guilingzi's expression was a bit heavy as he said: "If it is confirmed that the two are in the Xuanhua Sect, going to the door to ask for them is the simplest and most direct method. However, doing so will inevitably alert the enemy. If they are provoked and threaten the lives of the two, it will be a bit tricky."

Xu Chen nodded and said: "That is indeed the case. Since the senior has decided to wait for the arrival of several Shenjuns to establish prestige through battle, we don't need to make a big fuss. For now, we just need to confirm that the two senior sisters are not in danger. In fact, I also really want to see the faces of these Shenjuns and the Immortal Alliance Elder Council, and whether they are worth helping them refine more Taiyuan Soul-Entering Pills."

Lin Qiu Ya's eyes suddenly lit up and she said: "So the Taiyuan Soul-Entering Pill is real?"

Xu Chen nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed real, but I am the only one in the entire Taiyuan Sect who can refine it; otherwise, the Supreme Elder Xuanchen Zhenjun and the two senior sisters would not have ended up in this situation. Daoist Friend Lin's soul is damaged, so there is no need to seek other Spirit Pills. After I save them, I will refine some and give you a few."

Lin Qiu Ya was immediately extremely excited, stood up and bowed repeatedly to thank him. After sitting down, she asked about Xu Chen's intentions. After learning the situation, she said: "Qiu Ya has also heard of this matter, but because my cultivation level is too low, I don't know the inside story. The Xuanhua Sect acting like this is truly more shameless than the Junwang Hall. If it is inconvenient for Daoist Friend Xu to show up, I can help to inquire about it; maybe there will be news soon."

Xu Chen was overjoyed and cupped his hands: "That would be great, then thank you, Daoist Friend Lin."

"Boom~"

Just as they were speaking, a violent explosion suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a violent Spirit Qi fluctuation came from the southeast direction.

True Monarch Ghost Spirit's expression changed slightly as he said, "At the very least, it is a battle between Spirit Transformation cultivators!"

Xu Chen nodded and said, "The tempers seem quite heated, but they have not yet used their full strength. Let's go and take a look!"
