607 Holy Emperor's Deterrence

This scene left everyone present feeling deeply shaken and filled them with utmost awe for the sect leader's power.

Those with ulterior motives immediately fell silent!

Yu Jinghu knew that although these two elders had cultivated the art of sacrificing to evil spirits, they had not completely lost control. Their level of enlightenment still had many uses.

With a little restraint, it's just a matter of some people disappearing, like leeks, which can be harvested every eighteen years. It's an incredibly worthwhile deal.

But at this moment, everyone remained silent. It seemed that the sect leader's cultivation had reached a level that resonated with heaven and earth.

It might even break through the current level, but at such a time, the spiritual energy in the sacred land is declining, affecting the future. How can we not be angry!

The sacred land where the Fire Spirit Sect cultivates and grows herbs is the most precious place in the sect. It contains all kinds of rare spiritual materials, including ginseng, elixir fruits, and Fire Spirit Fruits that are thousands of years old.

The number of Fire Spirit Fruits is roughly the same every few years, without much fluctuation, and some are given as a reward to promising young people in the sect.

Of course, it's not given the spirit fruit directly. The Fire Spirit Fruit is an excellent auxiliary spirit fruit for the cultivation method of the Fire Spirit Sect. It contains a strong and domineering fire energy. If you eat it directly, an ordinary person will be burned to death!

It can be supplemented with other precious medicinal herbs, such as ginseng, to enhance the medicinal effects and improve cultivation results. The annual quota is limited.

Those who are not exceptionally talented cannot be easily allocated resources; as for those whose potential has been exhausted, they can only obtain and exchange for them themselves.

This is the Fire Spirit Pill, refined from the Fire Spirit Fruit. It is unique to the Fire Spirit Sect and, when combined with the Fire Spirit Cultivation Technique, is like adding wings to a tiger!

The Fire Spirit Pill, refined from the precious Fire Spirit Fruit, is far superior to the ordinary Fire Spirit Pills available on the market.

Although they have the same name, their effects are worlds apart, with the spiritual power and medicinal efficacy they contain differing by more than a hundredfold.

Such a treasure is naturally not something that all disciples can easily enjoy. Only those inner disciples and personal disciples of noble status have the opportunity to taste its wonders.

The number varies depending on the individual's status.

Elders are no exception, but for an elder's cultivation level, reaching the Great Enlightenment Realm requires a great deal of energy. One Fire Spirit Pill is simply a drop in the ocean, so the tributes from the family and various sects are indispensable!

There weren't enough Fire Spirit Fruits to go around, not even enough for myself!

However, it is heartbreaking that these Fire Spirit Pills are not entirely used for the cultivation of sect disciples.

Ever since the Holy Emperor's punch, a simple fist beam shattered the great formation into dust, as if the void had collapsed under the pressure, and the energy radiated in all directions, like Mount Tai pressing down on them, making them feel as if a life-or-death calamity was imminent.

Afterwards, the Supreme Sect Leader compromised, and as a result, a portion of the Fire Spirit Fruit had to be handed over each time.

The exact amount of this portion is known only to the successive sect leaders.

However, looking at the slightly reduced share he had received over the past few years, and the fact that the number of inner disciples was far less than that of personal disciples, Yu Jinghu knew that it was at least 30% less.

Feeling his cultivation was insufficient, the Supreme Sect Leader passed on the position of Sect Leader and disappeared into seclusion, never to be seen again.

For the current sect leader, the best course of action is to work hard and wait for the Holy Emperor Warrior to die!

Although a portion of the Fire Spirit Pills still needed to be offered to the royal city, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Fire Spirit Sect.

The painstaking collection of various medicinal herbs and the meticulous crafting of precious medicines are all part of the hard work, yet they are to be handed over to others. This is something that no sect can accept.

But a trace of the Holy Emperor's fist imprint still remains, which is on the wide flat land ten miles away in front of us, a flat land with a radius of a hundred miles.

The Holy Emperor and the Supreme Master clashed and discussed their respective cultivation abilities, which is why they stayed behind.

It is said that the Supreme Sect Leader relinquished his position because he was injured by a punch and had no choice but to go for treatment.

A bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down Yu Jinghu's forehead, only to evaporate instantly and disappear without a trace!

The emperor's majesty was like an insurmountable mountain, making it hard for them to breathe.

The power of that punch made them deeply aware of the gap in strength.

Faced with absolute power, any resistance seems so pale and powerless.

A mayfly trying to shake a tree, or a mayfly trying to put out a fire, is like an egg hitting a rock.

After weighing the pros and cons, the elders and leader of the sect ultimately chose to compromise.

Fortunately, everyone compromised, so everyone's strength is about the same.

Otherwise, in the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, with fierce competition and various sects vying for resources and territory, one would likely be at a disadvantage.

After compromise, it's just a matter of time passing by!

But the polarization is even more severe!

In particular, the inner disciples and personal disciples enjoy the superior resources provided by the sect, such as rare Fire Spirit Pills, which enable them to rapidly improve their cultivation and strength.

The existence of these outstanding disciples has injected new vitality and hope into the Fire Spirit Sect, and most of them are the future hope of the sect.

However, some transactions involve a lot of personal relationships and private deals.

Insufficient resources and a lack of elixirs have left the sect struggling to allocate resources effectively.

what to do!

Nature can only sacrifice the lowest level of people. Starting from the lowest level, people slowly move up, and the lower levels become increasingly cruel and bloody!

The struggle for resources is fraught with deceit and ruthlessness, and the constant fighting leaves little room for camaraderie among fellow disciples.

The unfair distribution of resources undoubtedly weakened the sect's strength and filled some talented disciples with resentment and humiliation.

Especially in recent years, the Holy Emperor has suppressed them, and they are restricted by various rules and regulations, so they cannot make money at will!

Problems and conflicts intensified, and some elders and disciples were dissatisfied with the current state of the sect!

However, the sect leader was unfathomable. He broke through to the Martial Emperor level in just a few years after becoming sect leader, which made some people envious.

Some people gritted their teeth, thinking to themselves, 'If I were the sect leader, with so many resources at my disposal, I could definitely break through to the Martial Emperor realm!'

Amidst the undercurrents, the sect leader's strength overwhelmed everyone. For those below the Martial Emperor level, the Illusionary Realm, once drawn into it, blinds their senses, making them like meat in the palm of one's hand, ready to be chopped off at any moment.

Emperor Wu, with the help of a portion of the power of the rules—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, darkness, evil, and corrosive power—kills people invisibly. Once Emperor Wu is caught in it, he cannot resist for long.

Therefore, under the sect leader's ruthless pressure, those who refused to submit were either forced into seclusion or, in severe cases, stripped of their authority and expelled. The people had no choice but to submit!

Now, just over twenty years later, the once mighty emperor has truly vanished, just like some of the ruthless warriors of the past, seemingly disappearing from the stage of history without a trace.

The news shocked all cultivators, including the Fire Spirit Sect.
