Escape

With a gloomy-faced True Person Yan Yuan by their side, the two arrived at an ancient-style courtyard. A faint aura of Spirit Transformation cultivator lingered there, and the surrounding environment was in disarray, caused by a sudden gust of wind.

Squeak!!

A hunched figure appeared; it was none other than True Person Wanying.

His breakthrough attempt failed, and he was also impacted by the abnormally violent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, suffering serious injuries.

However, under the protection of the Spirit Transformation Pill, True Person Wanying was not seriously injured and could recover his combat strength with a little recuperation.

However, if he wants to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm again, he will have to wait sixty years. This is determined by the rules of heaven and earth, and even with healing elixirs, it cannot be changed.

The same applies to the later stages of the Sage Manifestation Realm; if one fails to break through on the first attempt, one must wait one hundred and twenty years.

This is why, even among those Holy Land-level Forces, High-Rank Cultivators are not a dime a dozen.

Each Nascent Soul Cultivator has a limited number of times they can break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm in their lifetime.

After a thousand-year lifespan, how much of it will be left after cultivating to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection?

If you fail once, you'll waste sixty years.

This is why cultivators at the Nascent Soul and above attach great importance to breaking through major realms. They only attempt to break through when all aspects of their condition are at their best.

One reason for True Person Wanying's failure this time was that he was not prepared.

True Person Wanying's original plan was to break through to the next level after a hundred years, but unexpectedly, the sect was suddenly attacked, leaving him no time to prepare.

There was a 40% chance, but in the end, he didn't run into it.

Of course, since he has already attempted to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm once, the chances of True Person Wanying succeeding in breaking through next time will increase by about 10%. In addition, the Spirit Transformation Pill can bring the success rate to 50%, so a 50/50 probability is quite high.

From a purely personal perspective, True Person Wanying undoubtedly profited, but for the Luochuan Sect, all hope was shattered, leaving only the option of fleeing.

"Don't be discouraged. It's normal to fail to break through. When I was trying to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, I also needed two attempts before I succeeded," the Grand Elder patted True Person Wanying on the shoulder, comforting him.

"I have failed the sect's expectations!" True Person Wanying said in a hoarse voice, his mood extremely low. Even Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage would not perform much better than Mortal had encountered setbacks when the life and death of the entire sect rested on his shoulders.

"It's not your fault, relax." The Grand Elder waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and prepare, then lead the elite disciples with Yan Yuan and leave this place via the Teleportation Formation!"

With the protection of the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, the Zhou Household lacks the ability to set up a large-scale spatial interference Formation, so you have a chance to escape.

"What about the other elders?" True Person Wanying asked.

"Because the teleportation distance is too far, the Teleportation Formation cannot handle so many Nascent Soul Cultivators. There are only the two of you, along with some Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Realm disciples!" the Grand Elder replied calmly.

"Is that so..." True Person Wanying fell silent, then nodded emphatically. "Grand Elder, rest assured, as long as I Wanying, am alive, the sect will be rebuilt sooner or later."

"Alright, if the sect is ever rebuilt, remember to come before the memorial tablets and let me know." The Grand Elder smiled with satisfaction, then turned around and left with the two Nascent Soul elders.

After wandering around, they arrived at an underground space. Intricate spatial array Array Mark writhed on the ground, and thirty Luochuan Sect Disciple stood in the center of the Formation, each with a look of confusion on their face.

In just one year, first the Grand Elder was severely injured, then the Sect Master perished, and then the Zhou Household attacked, and Luochuan City fell...

Everything felt like a fleeting, unreal dream.

Thump! Thump!

The sound of heavy footsteps rang out. Su Qianya raised her head and looked at the old man in front of her. She used to hate this man so much, but now it seemed that he was worthy of the position of Grand Elder of the Luochuan Sect.

"Child, take this, live well, and one day Rebuild the Sect!" The Grand Elder smiled kindly for the first time and handed a Storage Ring to Su Qianya.

The ring contained his life's savings; having no children of his own, he figured he might as well leave it to his old friend's granddaughter.

"Understood!" Su Qianya took the Storage Ring and nodded emphatically.

Then, with a complicated look in her eyes, she asked, "Why, are there no Yun Household?"

"You know perfectly well, so why are you asking me?" the Grand Elder said softly.

Su Qianya bit her lip lightly, and streaks of blood trickled from her red lips. "Why is she so heartless?"

"It's not her fault. Your grandfather and I are the ones who should apologize first!" The Grand Elder shook his head self-deprecatingly, offering no further explanation.

"Alright, time is of the essence. You should leave now. Remember to keep your identities hidden and act discreetly from now on. If you are not strong enough, do not reveal your identity as Luochuan Sect Disciple... Also, if the Luochuan Sect is rebuilt, do not come back... It will no longer be our sect!!"

After giving his final instructions, the Grand Elder instructed True Person Wanying and True Person Yan Yuan to stand on the Teleportation Formation and activate it.

Buzz!!

A silvery light filled the entire underground space. Pieces of Void Crystals shattered, transforming into incredibly dense Spatial Power that enveloped everyone before they vanished into the void.

Looking at the vanished disciples and the shattered array diagram before him, the Grand Elder sighed, "I am still inferior to you. Centuries of planning have allowed my Luochuan Sect to preserve a precious flame!"

Since taking over the position of sect leader, True Person Beigong has been investing a lot of resources every year to build an underground teleportation space.

The Grand Elder had previously opposed this matter, but only now did he realize how important this proactive measure was.

"They're all gone, so I should... go too!"
