608 The Crisis of Faction Annihilation
At first, I thought it was just the Holy Emperor's strategy to use this opportunity to eliminate a wave of restless sects.
After the Holy Emperor established the country, he was still decisive in killing and wielding, but he was also somewhat constrained and no longer acted as freely as before.
"I think you're plotting a rebellion, so I'll wipe you out." Such an approach is like throwing punches—one, two, three!
In just a few punches, the sect leader died, the elders died, and the sect was disbanded!
There are some constraints now, and without evidence, they won't be killed arbitrarily.
If evidence of rebellion were found against these major factions, the Holy Emperor would probably send his men to their doorsteps in a single day!
A single punch is enough to change the very fabric of the world, allowing one to truly feel the power of a cataclysmic event.
The Holy Emperor's fist was incredibly powerful, like the wrath of the heavens and the trembling of the earth.
With a punch, a thunderous roar seemed to echo through the heavens and earth, accompanied by the cries of dragons and tigers. The power of countless dragons and elephants shattered and surged forth, a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Wherever the fist passed, the air was torn apart, forming invisible wind blades that were sharp and domineering, flattening mountains and turning them into plains.
A single punch contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, seemingly capable of drawing upon the power of heaven and earth for one's own use, as if it could shake the universe and overturn heaven and earth.
Under the force of the fist, everything seemed so small and fragile. Whether it was an indestructible rock or a martial emperor who had become a Buddha or an ancestor, all those who tried to stop him were reduced to dust.
To make the sect truly understand what it means to follow the will of Heaven and maintain a sense of awe.
The longer time went on, the more diverse the probing and the deeper the discoveries, the more likely the Holy Emperor had truly disappeared!
Many sects, large and small, could hardly believe it. After all, the Holy Emperor was so young and had few rivals; it would be easy for him to live to be several hundred years old.
But such a simple disappearance has made many people think a lot, 'It is said that there are even more resource-rich places beyond this vast world.'
That's where one can further improve their cultivation.
Rumor has it that those whose cultivation could not break through in this place all chose to go there, because it was a paradise for cultivation, where one could obtain elixirs, longevity pills, and breakthrough pills.
Moreover, and more importantly, those who went there rarely returned, according to records.
Especially those with higher cultivation levels have never returned.
A multitude of thoughts began to circulate among the crowd: 'Could it be that the Holy Emperor felt he had no equal here, so he went to the outside world and will never return?'
Especially considering that He Chen caused a great disturbance in the royal city, resulting in the death of a prince, and the Holy Emperor did not even appear, it is truly unbelievable.
This can only mean that the Holy Emperor has truly left this place to pursue the supreme Dao, just like the Sage of Literature.
For the Fire Spirit Faction, the disappearance of the Holy Emperor was undoubtedly a major turning point.
Restrained, oppressed, and intimidated by the Holy Emperor, the Fire Spirit Sect dared not easily plunder resources.
Now that the Holy Emperor has disappeared, the stable order has lost this powerful backing, and they immediately felt an unprecedented sense of jubilation.
"Our golden age has arrived!" The entire Fire Spirit Sect cheered.
"We've finally outlasted the Holy Emperor!" Many cultivators cheered.
'The Holy Emperor has finally departed; a new chapter in our cultivation world is about to begin!'
'We can finally break free from his shackles and pursue our own path of cultivation!'
The cultivation world is about to usher in a new opportunity! Cultivators are extremely excited!
People with different eyes can be fierce or cunning, sinister or treacherous, or full of worry or fear.
People from all walks of life are discussing the possibilities of the future.
The evil cultivators and martial artists hiding in the shadows were overjoyed.
Especially some evil cultivators who are barely clinging to life, who are suppressed and unable to prolong their lives quickly, feel like they have a thorn in their throat and live in fear every time they want to cause trouble and absorb the lives of ordinary people!
Now, we can finally laugh heartily and squander human lives at will!
He burst into laughter and ecstatic joy, while some secretly mocked him in their hearts.
"So what if he's the Holy Emperor? How could we cultivators easily submit to him? We're only giving him some leeway for now. In a few years, he'll be long gone, and we'll be even stronger."
"Let the Holy Emperor wait for him. In a few years, he will have long since turned into a handful of dust, while we will still be forging ahead on the path of cultivation."
'The Holy Emperor is but a handful of dust, while we will become the shining stars of the cultivation world.'
What delighted the evil cultivators even more was that the Demon Slayer Division's power had weakened, and the Demon Slayers had just begun their work. It was the perfect time for the old and new generations to take their turn for destruction.
Hunting with extreme caution, along trade routes, in desolate wilderness, brought even greater danger and hardship.
Ghosts, demons, and evil cultivators—from powerful figures to bandits—are all willing to take risks for the chance to make a fortune.
Yu Jinglong slowly snapped out of his reverie.
My loss of composure today is also related to this. My time is coming to an end, but the loss of spiritual energy has begun in the spiritual lands and is said to soon spread to these cave dwellings.
Yu Jinglong couldn't help but ponder this over the past few days, and he noticed a subtle, imperceptible loss slowly beginning to pass, which immediately made him anxious.
He thought frantically in the dark, "I don't want to die. Without abundant spiritual energy and elixirs, my decline will only accelerate."
This morning, I even saw a single gray hair! No, this can't be! I must reclaim the two hundred years I've lost!
A chill ran through him. The spiritual energy was dissipating, and even the sect leader and others couldn't resolve the situation within the spiritual field. What could he possibly do?
The spirit field has always been the most important area in the sect, as it is the key to planting rare herbs and refining elixirs.
The spiritual energy in the spiritual field is rich and pure, making it the best environment for planting. Some rare herbs can only grow in such rich environments, otherwise they will quickly wither and die.
The sect leader said that the spiritual energy in the spiritual field was flowing away. At first, everyone thought it was a normal fluctuation of spiritual energy, but as time went by, the speed of the flow became faster and faster, to the point that it could no longer be ignored.
We immediately organized a team to investigate, hoping to find out the reason for the loss of spiritual energy.
After a careful investigation, no problems were found with the formations surrounding the spiritual land. It seemed that the spiritual energy in the area had weakened and could no longer provide such a rich spiritual energy.
After the meeting that day, Yu Jinghu and others also went there in person.
The scene before him was unacceptable: the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree had stopped blooming.
With abundant spiritual energy, the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree blooms year-round, unaffected by the seasons, which is one of the Fire Spirit Sect's core strengths.
Without the Fire Spirit Fruit, the Fire Spirit Sect's cultivation method would only be able to find some fire-attribute medicinal herbs, and that would be the time when the sect would face annihilation.
All the elders, whether they knew the news or not, stood within the spirit field, sensing the spiritual energy that had become much thinner, less than three times its original amount.
