Tianwu Sect's Predicament, Before the Threshold of Sage Manifestation
Establishing Martial Alliance and building a martial arts academy requires both massive resources and a sufficient number of Martial Dao Cultivation Method.
The Martial Scripture is merely a general outline of Martial Dao, and over the years, it has been secretly emasculated by the Tianwu Sect, losing much of its essence.
Since everyone's constitution is different, it is very important to have corresponding Cultivation Method and Divine Abilities, and to teach according to individual aptitude.
In this respect, the Tianwu Sect truly possesses profound knowledge and experience.
However, Yang Xuanwu was not without his own strengths.
The Seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles store countless Cultivation Method, Divine Ability, and Martial Dao insights. The guardians of these Stele Guardian are essentially the spirits of the Heavenly Stele, so they are naturally able to copy down this precious Martial Dao knowledge.
There's not even a need for rubbings; you can simply come to the Heavenly Stele and learn directly from this enormous "Jade Slip."
Furthermore, the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele can gather the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth and refine the Sha Qi. The effect of cultivating here is far stronger than that of the treasure lands of the Qiongqi Realm.
Apart from the most core treasure lands of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, even their mountain gates are not as rich in Spiritual Qi energy as the location of the Heavenly Stele.
Needless to say, the Spiritual Qi is incredibly rich; the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele can purify Sha Qi and condense divine objects like the Heavenly Stele Stone Milk.
Its ability to gather spiritual energy is far superior to that of a Sixth Tier, Mid Grade Spirit Vein.
Although Martial Cultivator are not greatly affected by Sha Qi, the density of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is equally important for Martial Dao cultivation.
Ultimately, Spiritual Qi is the essence of all things and the root of the world.
High-level energies such as the World Origin, Immortal Qi, and the Qi of Creation are actually all manifestations of Spiritual Qi.
If one day the Spiritual Qi of the Three Realms fades, even Heavenly Immortal beings who have transcended the Three Realms will dry up and die, like stranded fish.
The Spiritual Qi is pure, the inheritance is sufficient, and it is protected by the Heavenly Stele barrier, so there is no need to worry about safety.
These obvious advantages enabled the seven martial arts academies to develop at an astonishing pace after their establishment.
The Martial Alliance's influence is growing, and high-level Martial Cultivator are joining Martial Alliance one after another. In fact, many martial artists who had already joined the Tianwu Sect Martial Cultivator have also recklessly defected and joined the Martial Alliance.
Faced with this situation, the elders of the Tianwu Sect were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, Tie Cangliu was also extremely worried.
With the emergence of the Seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles, the Tianwu Sect's 60,000-year-old accumulated foundation instantly lost its advantage, because the vast majority of low-level Martial Cultivators do not need such profound inheritances.
Those high-level Martial Cultivator have already forged their own paths, and high-level inheritances are merely icing on the cake. Only inheritances that allow one to cultivate to the level of Yang God or higher are truly attractive to them.
However, this kind of inheritance is only found in one or two schools within the Tianwu Sect. These schools were developed by generations of powerful members of the sect through countless hardships. How could they possibly pass it on to outsiders?
Besides, Martial Cultivator across the land have long suffered under the Tianwu Sect and have long harbored many grievances against the Tianwu Sect. Now that the Martial Alliance has been established, it is not surprising that independent Martial Dao Rogue Cultivator have found a backbone and spontaneously gathered together.
Another point is the identity of being Martial Ancestor's Personal Disciple.
Ninety-nine percent of Martial Cultivator hold the Martial Ancestor in the highest esteem, so when making their choice, they almost unhesitatingly chose the Martial Alliance.
During this process, Tie Cangliu did consider using force to stop it, but faced with the almost indestructible Heavenly Stele barrier, the powerful members of the Tianwu Sect could only stare helplessly.
In the eyes of many elders of the Five Great Lineage, the seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles were simply like seven iron turtle shells, impossible to break.
Some elders of the Tianwu Sect also tried to threaten Yang Xuanwu by targeting the Yang Household, hoping to force him to abandon his plan to establish the Martial Alliance.
However, as soon as they made their move, they were stopped by a group of powerful figures from the Lu Wu Realm, including many from the Qiongqi Realm, the Nine Great Immortal Sects, and the Demon Forbidden Grounds.
With the Nine Phoenix Realm posing a threat, the two realms must unite. If Yang Xuanwu came from an ordinary small force, or even Province-Level Power, these top experts could turn a blind eye and let the Tianwu Sect vent its anger.
However, the Yang Household is different.
Nearly a century after the start of the Interface War, this Lineage has risen to prominence, its strength has continued to expand, and it has killed as many as twenty or thirty Sage Manifestation powerhouse. It was already Holy Land-level Force decades ago.
Now it has become even more unfathomable.
Furthermore, the Yang Household Member has an exceptionally wide network of connections and wields immense influence in the Lu Wu Realm; it is simply impossible to harm Yang Household.
The Lu Wu Realm Alliance would not agree, and the many powerful forces in the Qiongqi Realm, needing the former's help for the upcoming war, would also not agree.
Left with no other choice, the Tianwu Sect had to lower its entry requirements again, even at the cost of relinquishing many of the privileges of the Five Great Lineage, in an attempt to attract more Martial Cultivator.
This decision did indeed take effect very quickly.
Many opportunistic Martial Cultivator also joined the Tianwu Sect.
However, not long after, the Tianwu Sect was forced to abandon this strategy.
The reason was simple: the members of the Five Great Lineage disagreed.
With their personal interests harmed, most of the members of the Five Great Lineage started making a ruckus, causing a huge uproar.
Even many clan elders, encouraged by their children and grandchildren, stood up to oppose it.
The Tianwu Sect is indeed jointly governed by the Five Great Lineage, but precisely because of this, the will of certain high-ranking members cannot be fully implemented.
This is completely different from the Yang Household, where Yang Tianyou can make all decisions with a single word.
Even the sect leader, Tie Cangliu, didn't have this kind of prestige within the Tianwu Sect.
The Tianwu Sect broke its promise. After the first instance, the Martial Cultivator of the Qiongqi Realm no longer trusted them and became even more determined to join the Martial Alliance.
And so, several years passed, and the Martial Alliance grew from nothing into a behemoth.
Although the group was a mixed bag, with many harboring ulterior motives, no one dared to act recklessly under the powerful influence of the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele.
Of course, the Martial Alliance is a missionary force and maintains a neutral position.
The chaotic and disorganized nature of the martial arts world is a significant drawback for ordinary forces, but for the Martial Alliance, it's not a problem as long as it doesn't hinder the spread of Martial Dao.
Eighteen years have passed since Yunhua broke through to Sage Manifestation.
Yang Tianyou finally completed the tempering and refinement of his Law Power and arrived at the Gate of Sage Manifestation.
