Everyone knows that if the Immortal Sect can afford to pay five source stones, then the task that Xiaoyun Temple has to do for them is no small feat.
Judging from the current situation in the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests, it is likely that Xiaoyun Temple will have to resist the attacks of all sects in the world, in order to buy time and space for the eight immortal sects to obtain source stones.
"What's the meaning!"
Before Jia Zhengyi could speak, the old cultivator sitting on the other side frowned at Su Lin and scolded, "Master Su, are you saying you don't even care about five source stones? What a temper you have!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin looked over but did not get angry. Instead, he carefully examined the old cultivator.
Recalling Jia Zhengyi's previous introduction, this old cultivator was an inner sect elder of the Undying Forest, with the cultivation level of the Mahayana stage, and was a celestial sect member of the Changshen Palace camp.
The Immortal Forest and Changshen Palace are the two immortal sects that are openly rivals of Tianya Mountain. They have had conflicts since a thousand years ago, and these conflicts continue to this day.
Now that Jia Zhengyi and Su Lin are chatting and laughing, he will naturally find an excuse to interfere.
"What you say is very true, senior. Origin Stones are extremely precious, and our Xiaoyun Temple is not fortunate enough to enjoy them."
Su Lin smiled, lowered his head to drink, and stopped talking about the matter.
My stance is simple: You don't want to talk, right? Then we won't!
I don't want Originium anymore!
Upon hearing this, all the elders of the immortal sects present looked in the direction of Elder Undying Forest, their faces expressionless and their eyes calm, but it was clear to everyone that this was a warning.
You're not the team leader, so why are you talking so much?
This was something that the eight major immortal sects had already agreed upon. If it falls through, can the Undying Forest bear the responsibility?
Elder Immortal Forest squinted at Su Lin with hatred, and didn't say a word.
Jia Zhengyi, however, was still smiling and trying to persuade him, offering him a way out: "Brother Dao, what are you saying? With the hard work and great contributions of Xiaoyun Temple over the years, it is absolutely qualified to receive five source stones."
"No one in the world would gossip about it, and the immortal sects think so too."
Jia Zhengyi paused, then looked at Elder Undying Forest, and said calmly, "Besides, I can make the decision on this matter. Brother, don't listen to the slander of others. They are just petty people who are still dreaming of great things."
Elder Immortal Forest's expression changed upon hearing this, and he was about to get angry, but he quickly restrained himself.
Jia Zhengyi's words were both a sarcasm and a reminder to the elders of the other immortal sects: don't forget what the common attitude of the eight immortal sects was before the trip.
Before these 40,000 people left the mountain, under the combined influence of spies such as Xiao Linlin, Wang Qingyue, and the Mimic, the leaders of the eight major immortal sects had already made one thing clear: put away their ambitions to dominate and do practical things in a down-to-earth manner!
To put it bluntly, stop clinging to the delusional notion that immortal sects are invincible. The world has changed, and immortal sects no longer care about empty titles; they only care about practical benefits.
This attitude has long been a consensus among the eight major immortal sects.
It wasn't just because of the undercover agents' patient persuasion, but also because the problems currently facing the Eight Immortal Sects were indeed thorny.
Not to mention that the Myriad Laws and Universe Pavilion is blocking the way and causing the nine immortal sects to fall into a war trap, even if the eight immortal sects were capable of solving the problem of the Myriad Laws and Universe Pavilion, it would still take them a great deal of time.
Furthermore, given the power of the Myriad Laws Universe Pavilion, if it were to truly reach the point of annihilation, most of the eight great immortal sects would likely suffer losses.
At that time, without the Myriad Laws and Universe Pavilion as a common threat, the eight great immortal sects will face a confrontation between two major factions within the eight great immortal sects, which is another extremely troublesome matter.
While the immortal sects are undoubtedly invincible among all the sects in the world, none of them are guaranteed victory against opponents of equal caliber.
All of these things are well known to the eight major immortal sects, and they are things that will inevitably happen in the future.
Given the shared challenges, it's unlikely that all cultivators in the world will submit. For a long time to come, the immortal sects won't have the energy to deal with these trivial matters.
We should completely abandon illusions and seize every moment in order to have any chance of becoming the ultimate winner in the future.
Therefore, the Eight Great Immortal Sects set their sights on Xiaoyun Temple, attempting to lure it with source stones to continue working for them, thus alleviating external troubles and threats and allowing the Eight Great Immortal Sects to focus on fighting enemies of equal strength.
This is part of the undercover plan, and due to the accumulation of previous plans, this step basically does not require Xiao Linlin and the others to put in much effort, making it the only option for the immortal sects.
Firstly, the internal strife within the Immortal Sect has become unstoppable, and if no one suppresses the myriad sects outside, they will become a problem over time, potentially posing a fatal threat to oneself during a period of weakness in the future.
Secondly, the Immortal Source Stones are too crucial. If we don't strive for them, the top cultivators in the Immortal Sect will not be able to replenish their supply continuously. Once a gap appears, it will be very easy for us to fall behind in the confrontation with other Immortal Sects.
Solving these two problems requires a great deal of energy from the immortal sects themselves. Given the current situation, they are naturally unwilling to devote too much energy, for fear of being harmed by other immortal sects.
So, there's no choice!
We can only rely on the power of Xiaoyun Temple!
After all, Xiaoyun Temple has always maintained good relations with the immortal sects and has good relationships with all parties. Moreover, its strength is not bad. More importantly, Xiaoyun Temple has always been very "well-behaved".
Xiaoyun Temple's attitude has always been seen as "benevolent" by all sects in the world, and as "not a great threat" by immortal sects.
If it is necessary to sacrifice some resources to acquire new henchmen for the chaotic world, then no one is more suitable than Xiaoyun Temple.
Before these 40,000 people set off, the eight major immortal sects had already decided on this main theme: they must win over Xiaoyun Temple, at least in this competition for the Immortal Source Stone.
Even if it means sacrificing some Originium resources, we are willing to do it!
