Chen Xian had only overheard this troublesome rumor by chance; he had neither concrete evidence nor specific information.
The only thing that is certain is that in this Heavenly Ladder ranking battle, Dao Yongzong not only had his attack and defense breached, but also lost in the subsequent simulation battle.
This would mean directly losing the status of an eighth-level sect.
There are only two ways to return: one is to wait ten thousand years and try again.
Another path... challenging the pinnacle,
This clause is essentially useless.
Of course, they might have also tried it on the Five Elements Sect.
As for challenging other level eight sects during this period... there is no such rule among those of the same level.
There's one last option: attack directly after the final sect positions are adjusted!
The Boundless Great Dao Sect was not actually a sect that was challenged and forced to surrender.
Thirty thousand years ago, in the battle against the evil god, too many of the sects' high-level combatants perished, leading to a shortage of advanced cultivators.
The remaining Immortal Venerables either reached the limit of their Heavenly Dao lifespan or simply died of old age over several thousand years.
The subsequent fusion of Mahayana and other aspects was also disrupted due to the presence of the evil god.
Twenty thousand years ago, the sect was conquered by a sect called the Invincible Sect.
For the healthy development of the entire cultivation world, lower sects attacking higher sects is directly permitted by the Cultivation Alliance.
The same applies to the Five Elements Sect being assassinated...
But this relocation will probably happen a thousand years from now.
Although the Great Dao Boundless Sect fell, Zi Yun's descendants were still protected by the Five Elements Sect and the Great Evolution Sword Sect.
Later, the Supreme Sect seized the position of the Invincible Sect in the Heavenly Ladder Battle.
The Invincible Sect fell back to the eighth level and was directly devoured by other sects, completely disappearing from history.
However, Ye Feng estimated that the disappearance of the Invincible Sect could probably be attributed to several other superior sects.
Although the rules allow you to come up, personal connections will destroy you!
After all, even a top sect like the Invincible Sect, which had existed for thousands or tens of thousands of years, could disappear, while the Zi family had been able to exist unscathed for thirty thousand years.
This explains everything.
The fact that Ling Fengxue clearly knew about the Zi family's situation is enough to give us a clue.
But now, I'm afraid that's really not possible.
The Zi family's foundation has been completely destroyed; they don't even have a Nascent Soul cultivator left in the family.
Moreover, everyone is very busy now that evil gods have invaded.
Even if a family consisting only of Void Returning cultivators were wiped out, it would be done without a sound.
"So, it's possible that the Supreme Lord of the Eternal Moon is holding a grudge against the Zi family for not passing on their cultivation techniques to him?"
"This... is just a rumor. I am only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the information I have may not be accurate."
Chen Xian was being somewhat modest in saying that.
In fact, Ye Feng now, after experiencing the matter of selling the "Divine Leaf,"
His deeds may not be known to everyone, but they are certainly familiar to those in power within the sect.
As his representative in Daoyong City, Chen Xian, although only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, held a status no lower than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Ancestor, you are now a Grand Immortal Venerable of a Supreme Sect. To take action against an eighth-level sect... would be somewhat taboo!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly and stood up.
"Don't worry, I understand. I'll be going now. Keep up the good work... In another year or two, Penglai will be better. Then there will be more people to help you, and you can focus on your cultivation."
No matter how many resources you have, cultivation level is fundamental... Of course, there's nothing we can do now, so you'll just have to put in the effort!
Chen Xian's entire arsenal of magical artifacts, including the jade talisman he wore, was a spiritual artifact.
Moreover, Ye Feng noticed that he also had a number of protective talismans on his body.
With this setup, his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, coupled with the Five Elements Technique, would be enough to put him in a fighting chance against even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
Of course, it's still not enough to compete with an eighth-level sect...
Ye Feng left as soon as he finished speaking, not giving Chen Xian a chance to look moved.
This gratitude is good, but as the person involved, I find it a bit overwhelming.
In fact, Ye Feng preferred something simpler, something like a friend he could trust.
Like Yang Xueling, Yang Fu, Liang Yuyan...
Only relationships built on mutual trust can truly last and will not be betrayed by changes in circumstances.
But Ye Feng can't be friends with everyone.
Most people are foolish and easily swayed; they need someone who can see the way forward to guide them.
And Ye Feng is that banner!
...
Zi family,
Ancestor Ziheng is now three thousand years old.
While cultivators at the Void Returning stage are said to live to four thousand years old, in reality, quite a few die peacefully at around three thousand years old.
Zi Huan looked at the dozens of core members of the families in front of him, his eyes showing worry.
"What do you think of what Venerable Yongyue said?"
After the patriarch spoke, everyone offered their suggestions.
"Eternal Moon Supreme speaks nicely, but in the end, he just wants to seize our family's cultivation techniques!"
"That's right, if we really joined the Dao Yong Sect, our bloodline would probably be severed!"
...
Zi Huan nodded, then turned to look at the young man beside him.
"Zixing, what do you think?"
As one of only two Void Returning cultivators in the family, Zi Xing appeared much more composed.
"Dao Yongding Venerable, you've spoken so definitively, you're probably determined to seize our inheritance... Without outside help, we definitely can't hold out!"
Zi Huan nodded and sighed.
"In the past, when the Zi family faced difficulties, there were always friends who would step in to help... But now..."
I don't have many of my old friends left, and besides, given their status, I can no longer have anything to say to them.
"In that case, I'm afraid we only have two paths left."
"Um?"
Everyone was puzzled. They had already reached a dead end, so why did you offer them two more paths?
"The first option is to directly pledge allegiance to the Supreme Lord of Eternal Moon."
This is essentially meaningless; if you go, you'll be completely devoured, leaving nothing behind.
"There's a second way!"
"What road?"
"Let's seek refuge with the Penglai Chamber of Commerce!"
