From Tianya Mountain's perspective, Changshen Palace faces a formidable enemy outside, and the sect must unite, set aside internal disputes, and focus all its efforts on defending against external threats.
From Changshen Palace's perspective, Tianya Mountain's aggressive and domineering approach has caused them considerable losses, with disciples frequently disappearing and not returning. They must seize the time to promote outstanding new talents.
Unfortunately, a disciple named Li Xingtian, whom they had snatched from Tianya Mountain ten years ago, was extremely powerful! His talent was dazzling! In ten years, he broke through two major realms, advancing from the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Transformation stage!
While the Void Transformation stage may not be considered powerful in the competition among immortal sects, at most it can be considered a mainstay, but the speed at which they break through is simply amazing!
Ordinary geniuses, starting from the Nascent Soul stage, often take decades to make significant breakthroughs. But Li Xingtian is different; he broke through two major realms in just ten years! Moreover, his foundation is extremely solid! His cultivation and combat strength far surpass those of others in the same realm!
Most importantly, Li Xingtian seems to have a deep grudge against Tianya Mountain! He secretly resents Tianya Mountain for its concessions and lack of protection, which led to him being sent into Changshen Palace like a piece of merchandise.
Li Xingtian's disciple was very proud and looked down on Tianya Mountain's retreating behavior. In many secret operations against Tianya Mountain, he made great contributions to Changshen Palace!
In his most outstanding battle, Li Xingtian, with the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, angrily killed a Void Transformation Realm cultivator, causing a sensation throughout the world! He was hailed as a once-in-ten-thousand-years battle prodigy!
All nine major sects knew that Changshen Palace had a stroke of luck and had acquired an extremely powerful disciple!
In subsequent operations, Li Xingtian was even more formidable, each time he would instantly kill opponents of the same realm or severely injure those of higher realms!
Especially after he entered the Void Realm, he was able to kill without a sound when facing cultivators of the same realm from Tianya Mountain.
Although Changshen Palace has not yet taken any action against the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of Tianya Mountain, judging from Li Xingtian's amazing combat performance in the past, this Void Realm cultivator might actually be able to go toe-to-toe with Nascent Soul stage cultivators!
After ten years of hard work, Li Xingtian was beginning to show signs of breaking the old unspoken rules and advancing to the core of the Immortal Sect as a top-ranking disciple.
In fact, several elders of Changshen Palace have already begun to hint at or extend olive branches to Li Xingtian, wanting to take him as their disciple.
Such a powerful and promising cultivator, who is dissatisfied with the rival immortal sect and has already made great contributions to the sect, is simply an extremely useful high-level ox or horse. We must hold him firmly in our hands!
Of course, Li Xingtian, who gradually gained fame over the past decade, also became a major threat to Tianya Mountain.
However, Tianya Mountain couldn't openly take action against Li Xingtian, since the struggle between the two sects was always done in secret.
Even though assassinations, attacks, and the extermination of affiliated sects are frequent occurrences, everyone knows who is behind it all. They are all aware of each other's identities, but unfortunately, since everyone is from a celestial sect and their methods are very cunning, they are unable to find any evidence.
Don't worry about why you can't find evidence; at least that's what our ancestors said!
The patriarch also deeply hated this fiend and repeatedly laid traps to kill Li Xingtian, but each time he failed and the fiend escaped.
Chang Shen Palace sees these countermeasures at Tianya Mountain as a signal of escalating tensions!
You want to destroy my sect's prodigy? That's unacceptable! We'll keep going!
As for Tianya Mountain: You've taken advantage of us and you still won't let go? Do you really think Tianya Mountain has no one to rely on? Let's do it!
The two sects fought openly and covertly, resulting in the deaths of many people over the past ten years. They also lost a large amount of resources to the other side. Although it was not a major blow to the Immortal Sect, the losses were real.
With people dying on both sides, someone naturally had to fill the gap, and that's how... the undercover agents got their chance to rise to the top!
They also participated in the struggle for sect interests and made contributions, so they were naturally given priority when there was a shortage of people.
Although they may not be able to rise to the highest position, occupying some key positions is not a problem.
Even if the undercover members are promoted and become enemies of some factions within the sect, it doesn't matter.
Because these so-called competitors will soon die in assassination attempts by rival immortal sects.
Don't look at me, this has nothing to do with me!
The man was killed by an outsider; it was purely his own bad luck.
Cultivating immortality naturally involves occasional tribulations, so it's best not to create too much karma in ordinary times; it's truly a sin...
