Chapter 354 - 207: Three Changes of the Spiritual Sea, Three Disasters of the Golden Core
Zhuge Wu You’s face, at this moment, was no longer carefree, but carried a hint of worry.
“There’s no need to worry about Southern Dipper Divine Palace at this stage. The three great sects want to take action personally, but even if one or two True Monarchs come, it won’t be enough to destroy Xuandan Sect on their home ground.”
“Most True Monarchs from Southern Dipper Divine Palace are tied up in the Southern Border, and it’s unrealistic for them to send half of them.”
“Moreover, this matter also involves the Tai Xu Sect. Even if the Southern Dipper Divine Palace wants to get involved, they would need to consider their odds.”
“Tai Xu Sect?” Han Yi raised an eyebrow.
Back when he was still at the Qi Cultivation Stage, Blood God Sect unreasonably occupied Xuandan Sect’s Taibai County mine veins, Han Yi had heard from He Fangwei that Sect Master Yuan Shun personally went to the Tai Xu Sect.
However, at that time, it was not long after the Demon Cavern War, and the Tai Xu Sect had lost two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, so their overall strength was damaged and they didn’t take action, or at least they didn’t show their hand directly, which didn’t have any effect.
But after that, Daqian had intervened, and everything had been in a stalemate for twenty years.
Now, Zhuge Wu You mentioned Tai Xu Sect again, prompting Han Yi to try to ask about the relationship between the Xuandan Sect and Tai Xu Sect.
Hearing Han Yi’s question, before Han Yi could ask further, Zhuge Wu You had already taken the initiative to speak.
“As for Tai Xu Sect’s matter, it’s entirely related to our Sect Master and has nothing to do with the Xuandan Sect.”
“The secrets involved in this are too frightening. In the whole sect, only the Sect Master knows about it. Even we old fellows don’t know much.”
At this point, Zhuge Wu You’s face flashed with a hint of obscure reverence.
“Let’s not mention this for now.”
Zhuge Wu You paused for a moment before continuing to discuss matters related to the Southern Dipper Divine Palace.
“So, for Southern Dipper Divine Palace to take action personally, there are many factors to consider, and it’s not that simple.”
“As for Jiang Jiuge, he takes Blood River as his Daoist title, and he should be practicing the supreme art of Blood God Sect, the Blood River Scripture. The tribulation to reach the Nascent Soul stage is rumored to be related to the secret of the Blood River. It is much more difficult than normal cultivators, even the talented Jiang Yichuan was stuck at this step for as long as four Jiazi years, let alone Jiang Jiuge.”
Han Yi nodded, understanding that Zhuge Wu You’s point was simple: the Southern Dipper Divine Palace’s involvement with the major forces in Daqian and Yuan Shun was not that simple.
As for Jiang Jiuge, due to the reason of his cultivation method, it’s definitely difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he could make a breakthrough, the sect would have a countermeasure in place.
“Wanfa Sect is the current enemy Xuandan Sect must face.”
“Wanfa Sect has two Nascent Soul True Monarchs and as many as thirty Gold Core Cultivators. In terms of high-end battle power, they are much stronger than us, not to mention that it is an old Nascent Soul Great Sect that towers above Xuandan Sect in all aspects.”
“Nowadays, our sect is weak and there are many things we find helpless.”
“Like the incident in Jinyun Immortal City, like the fact that Yuan Beast Sect dares to attack secretly, and like the assault on the Profound Immortal Pavilion of Shu Du by a robbing cultivator not long ago – all of these incidents have
Wanfa Sect’s shadow.”
Han Yi’s heart sank. He, too, understood Zhuge Wu You’s concerns. Although Xuandan Sect didn’t seem to be under a large-scale attack at present, Wanfa Sect was not limited to a single approach, but rather tested from various aspects.
Once their probing was complete, they would surely strike like thunder. This was the conclusion Han Yi could draw from the information he had gathered so far.
“By the way, the Sect Master has suffered a minor injury and is in seclusion at Xuandan Peak. After some time, you can go find him. He also put in a lot of effort for your poisoning. He probably didn’t expect that you’d cultivate both body and Qi and expel the remaining poison on your own.”
After mentioning the Wanfa Sect’s affairs, Zhuge Wu You added a sentence.
This reminded Han Yi, and a thought occurred to him: since Zhuge Wu You had said that he could know many things now, wouldn’t he be eligible to know the secrets of Xuandan Peak?
“Uncle-Master, 1 have a question in my heart: what kind of formation is that, which surrounds Xuandan Peak, and is it hiding a secret?”
This question had been on Han Yi’s mind ever since he arrived in this world, and at this moment, he thought he could make some indirect inquiries.
However.
To his surprise, upon hearing Han Yi’s question, Zhuge Wu You’s face turned unusually serious.
“Just now, 1 mentioned the relationship between the Sect Master and Tai Xu Sect, which is related to the secret of Xuandan Peak.”
“The secret within Xuandan Peak is the greatest secret of our sect. We Gold Core cultivators only know the surface of it, and that’s only because the Sect Master told us.”
“This secret will be explained to you by the Sect Master when you step into the Gold Core stage.”
“However, only when you reach the Nascent Soul stage, will you be eligible to know the true story.”
At this point.
Zhuge Wu You suddenly added another sentence, which also made Han Yi feel the most at ease.
“Just now, 1 mentioned the crisis, but it doesn’t actually involve the danger of Sect extermination, do you know why?”
He didn’t expect Han Yi to answer his question, and continued speaking on his own.
“Because the secret of Xuandan Peak concerns a level that, at the very least, is at the True Monarch level. Even if there is a crisis within the sect, those Nascent Soul True Monarchs would never dare to set foot in our sect, they would only send Gold Core cultivators to probe at most.”
“So, for now, as long as the Sect Master holds the fort in Xuandan Sect, there will be no sect extermination crisis. You can rest assured.”
Nevertheless, Zhuge Wu You’s statement only piqued Han Yi’s curiosity even more.
On one hand, he never thought Zhuge Wu You, who didn’t even fully understand the secret of Xuandan Peak himself, would say that only those who had reached the Nascent Soul stage had the qualifications to know it..
