Cultivation World, Volume One: The Tianxin Sect on the Brink of Collapse - Wu Yan's Forbearance

The city gate of Bright Sun Holy City was unguarded, consisting only of a tall, imposing gate. This ancient gate, reaching ten meters in height, was constructed of Ancient Yan Stone, giving it a weighty and imposing feel. (Ancient Yan Stone is one of countless strange materials in the Cultivation World; it has no particularly valuable medicinal properties, but it is extremely heavy, and most importantly, it fits the Cultivation World's preference for an ancient and rustic style.)

Just as Zhang Xingfeng and his group entered the city gate, a green light passed by Zhang Xingfeng and flashed into the city gate. Suddenly, the green light rose and disappeared from everyone's sight. With everyone's eyesight, they could naturally tell that it was a figure from the Cultivation World who flew on a sword.

"That's a cultivator who has reached the Body Integration Realm. In the Holy City, only those who have reached the Body Integration Realm or above can fly on a sword. It seems that this cultivator is unfamiliar with the Holy City. He might be a cultivator from some corner of the Cultivation World, because true masters generally disdain flying on swords," Zhang Xingfeng commented with a smile.

"Look, there's a middle-aged man over there!" Zhang Xingfeng said, pointing to a middle-aged man flying in the sky riding on a cloud.

"That middle-aged man's cultivation has reached the Great Accomplishment stage!" Zhong Heng said, as he could easily see it with his strength.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded, smiled, and said, "Yes, this middle-aged man has reached the Great Accomplishment stage. There's a strange phenomenon in the Holy City: people look down on those who ride swords in the Holy City because that only represents the Body Integration Realm. Of course, this doesn't mean the Integration stage is low. In the Cultivation World, the Body Integration Realm is considered a high level, just an ordinary high level! In the Holy City, it's nothing special. Riding clouds is what shows strength, and riding clouds is far more difficult than riding Flying Sword! In the Holy City, the power required to ride clouds is even at the Tribulation Crossing Stage!"

Jing Xingfeng suddenly smiled and said, "If there are three people in the Holy City, one walking, one riding Flying Sword, and one riding a cloud, what do you think others would do to each of them?" Zhang Xingfeng looked at Yu Yan and the others and asked with a smile that seemed somewhat mysterious.

Leyue smiled and said, "That goes without saying. Cultivators who ride clouds are true masters, and those who ride Flying Sword are also quite skilled. Those who walk are just ordinary cultivators!"

"I agree... Hehe... Second Brother, you even ask such a simple question? Aren't you looking down on my wisdom?" Little Dragon Long said with his mouth wide open, looking quite dismissive.

Zhong Heng laughed loudly and said, "You guys... I knew this ten thousand years ago. Generally, cultivators would think that those who ride Flying Sword are only at the Body Integration Realm, while those who ride clouds are uncertain, but they are definitely at the Tribulation Crossing Stage! As for those who walk..." Zhong Heng laughed and stopped talking!

Leyue suddenly realized something and smiled sheepishly.

"Speak! Tell me now, or I'll eat you up!" Little Dragon opened his big mouth again, threatening Zhong Heng.

Zhang Xingfeng said casually, "Aren't we walking?" and continued on his way.

Yes, they are walking, but are they ordinary cultivators?

It's estimated that only divine beasts like Little Dragon, who can easily cultivate from birth, and carefree individuals like Leyue, would think about things in this way.

In the Cultivation World, strength is paramount!

In the Cultivation World, killing is commonplace! It might be for a magical Law Artifact, a top-tier cultivation Method Formula, or even just a piece of material! It could even be because of a disagreement with someone!

Therefore, the mentality of cultivators is very strange. Some are hypocritical, and some are indifferent. But no matter what, in the Cultivation World, if you want to live a long and peaceful life, unless you cultivate in a sect or in a secluded place, you must learn all of this.

Zhang Xingfeng's expression changed instantly, because what lay ahead was... the only former stronghold of the Tianxin Sect! Of course, it no longer belonged to them! Zhang Xingfeng was momentarily lost in the past.

"Young lady, this is not a place for you to go in. Please go back!" a man said coldly to Leyue.

Upon hearing this, Xingfeng immediately snapped out of his reverie and turned around. At this moment, Leyue was standing in a fairy-like, ethereal immortal Immortal Gate to the north, glaring angrily at a man clad in armor. Beside her, Little Dragon's eyes were widening, while Lang Feng Zhong Heng were pulling Little Dragon along, and Yu Yan was trying to persuade Leyue. Clearly, if things continued like this, Little Dragon might do something unimaginable.

"Leyue, Little Dragon!" Zhang Xingfeng shouted, "Come back!" Zhang Xingfeng's voice was firm and resolute.

Upon hearing Zhang Xingfeng's voice, Leyue and Little Dragon, who had been castrated, slunk back. Zhang Xingfeng smiled, glanced at the man in armor, his face turned cold, and with a snort, Zhang Xingfeng turned and left.

"Come with me!"

Leyue and the others dared not utter a sound and immediately followed Zhang Xingfeng.

"That was a Low-grade Immortal Artifact, and that man also felt the pressure from Zhong Heng and Little Dragon!" Zhang Xingfeng recalled what had just happened, and suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng anger intensified. "The Forbidden City... the Forbidden City... hahaha... isn't it just a place to oppress small sects? Only people from larger sects can enter the Forbidden City!"

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly turned around, just in time to see an arrogant man walk past. The cultivators nearby looked at the man with nothing but envy; some of them even possessed the cultivation of the Harmony Realm, yet they still envied the man, even though he was only at the Golden Core Stage! Because that man was from the Bright Sun Sect! That was a very large sect!

In an instant, Zhang Xingfeng felt an oppressive pressure on his heart, so strong that it made it hard for him to breathe!

The difference! The difference! Their own abilities were clearly much stronger; the guard had even sensed it and deployed his immortal armor, yet he still didn't let them in! Why?

Only strength determines everything, and only status represents everything! If Zhang Xingfeng were to reveal their identities as immortals, even the largest sects would probably bow down and invite them to join him. You must know, immortals are extremely rare in the Cultivation World!

If Zhang Xingfeng were in the Immortal Realm, these large cultivation sects might not even give him a second glance. The Four Sects of the Immortal Realm and three great Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm are all incredibly powerful; a single immortal might not be much to them. However, in the Cultivation World, an immortal is enough to make them take him seriously! In the Cultivation World, the power that an immortal can wield is simply immense!

Zhang Xingfeng and his group now have three immortals, two of whom are at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Strength!

Although the guard hadn't let them in, he hadn't dared to neglect them in the slightest, speaking kindly to them. If someone from an ordinary sect like the Tianxin Sect had come out, the guard, given his status, would probably have simply killed them with a single blow, regardless of their life or death.

Zhang Xingfeng looked at his target, which was now right in front of him!

The facade, stretching for tens of meters, and the three enormous, Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing "Wu-Yan-Zong" made Zhang Xingfeng's eyes narrow sharply. Tens of meters long, but more than ten meters of that facade originally belonged to the Tianxin Sect! Zhang Xingfeng couldn't recall the ecstatic expressions of his sect's elders upon learning they had acquired the facade. Thinking of this, a pang of pain shot through his heart. He knew very well the immense effort the Zhang Xingfeng Sect had expended to obtain it. Yet, in the blink of an eye, it had been snatched away by the Wu Yan Sect, and the Tianxin Sect dared not utter a word! Wu Yan Sect Zhang Xingfeng would never forget the expression on Elder Yu Yang's face before him!

"In your next life, find a good sect! Oh, I almost forgot, I reckon you'll be annihilated Tribulation Transcendence, hahahaha..." Zhang Xingfeng would never forget that smug smile, even after three reincarnations!

Wu Yan Sect initially wanted to make his base more imposing, so he wanted to seize the territory of other forces. However, none of the sects here were ordinary small sects. After comparing them, only Zhang Xingfeng's Tianxin Sect was the weakest and became Wu Yan Sect's target.

The great figures from various planets who truly want to cultivate immortality will not choose their sects elsewhere. They will go to the five holy cities. Among the five holy cities, it would be best if they could enter one of the seven largest sects. If they cannot enter, they will find the headquarters of a relatively large cultivation sect in the cultivation holy city and enter it!

Having territory in a sacred cultivation land signifies the strength of a sect; the larger the sect's territory, the greater its power! The fact that the Wu Yan Sect has maintained its territory for a hundred years also demonstrates its sufficient strength.

"Old ghost Yu Yang, come out here right now!" Zhang Xingfeng's voice suddenly rang out, instantly shaking the Wu Yan Sect's encampment. Whether it was Zhang Xingfeng's secret method or not, the "Wu Yan Sect" plaque was shaken off and broke in two in an instant!

Suddenly, the streets became noisy as many cultivators began to gather around from a distance. The sky was also flashing with light, clearly indicating that there were experts among them who could control the clouds.

A few people taking on a large sect! That takes guts!

This is the opinion of almost everyone. They know how much power it represents to have such a base in the Holy City of Cultivation. It must be at least the power of a large sect! The number of experts in a large sect is absolutely unimaginable.

The disciples of the Wu Yan Sect turned pale. The plaque was broken! They couldn't believe it had fallen and broken. After all, it was made of purple ironwood! A precious material with unparalleled hardness. The Wu Yan Sect was once proud to have such a prestigious plaque in the Holy City of Cultivation!

The signboard is now broken! What does that mean?

This shows that someone is deliberately causing trouble! However, no matter how dark-faced the disciples of the Wu Yan Sect were, not one of them dared to make a move, because they had already been injured by Zhang Xingfeng's simple shout!

"Who dares to address this elder by his given name!" An old man in black stepped forward, his face dark with rage.

"Who are you?" Yu Yang's ashen face suddenly returned to its usual state, as if he was no longer angry at all.

Zhang Xingfeng walked forward with a smile, looking at Yu Yang, his smile growing even brighter, "Yu Yang, hahaha... Yu Yang, didn't you Curse me to not survive the Heavenly Tribulation? Yes, I didn't survive it, but I survived this life. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, my name is now Zhang Xingfeng, no longer Sui Yu. You can call me True Person Xingfeng!"

Yu Yang's body trembled violently. "You... you are Sui Yu, the Supreme Elder of the Tianxin Sect!"

"Yes, it seems like it's been over 180 days since you seized my Tianxin Sect's territory. Time flies in cultivation...tsk tsk...look, look, it seems you're living quite comfortably...hahaha..." Zhang Xingfeng laughed as if he were happy for his old friend's comfortable life. But after a while, the disciples of the Wu Yan Sect could no longer be happy, because Zhang Xingfeng's laughter grew louder and louder!

The disciples of the Wu Yan Sect took out their Law Artifact one by one to fight together. Yu Yang, standing to the side, looked at Zhang Xingfeng with a deep frown.

"Who's making such a racket? Humph!" A cold snort rang out from inside the Wu Yan Sect's territory, clearly indicating that there was an expert inside. The cold snort was obviously aimed at Zhang Xingfeng's laughter. Sure enough, after the cold snort, the disciples of the Wu Yan Sect felt a little better.

Zhang Xingfeng let out a cold laugh.

"Who's hiding behind this? Don't dare show yourself! Come out!" Zhang Xingfeng's Limitless Power was contained within this shout. "Come out!" "Come out!" "Come out!" "Come out!"...

Like an echo, Zhang Xingfeng's voice continued to ring out...

"Pfft—" An old man with white hair emerged, spitting out blood. He stared at Zhang Xingfeng in shock. He was Loose Immortal had survived two Heavenly Tribulation, and his power was close to that of a celestial Heavenly Immortal! What did it mean that he was shocked to vomit blood by Zhang Xingfeng's words?

The white-haired old man dared not think about it anymore.

At this moment, Yu Yang was stunned. He knew the strength of the white-haired old man, but even the white-haired old man's strength had been Sui Yu, no, it should be said that Xing Feng had really done this to him. Could Wu Yan Sect still fight against him?

The Tianxin Sect must not be offended!

This was Yu Yang's thought at the moment. Within the entire Wu Yan Sect, the most powerful cultivator was merely a Loose Immortal had survived five Heavenly Tribulation, his power approaching that of Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal! Yet even this ancestor didn't possess the power to make the white-haired old man vomit blood with a single word! Most importantly...

Yu Yang looked at the cultivators around him. None of them were affected by Zhang Xingfeng. What did this mean?

Could it be that the surrounding cultivators are more powerful than the white-haired old man? Of course not, there's only one reason: the attack is being controlled by Zhang Xingfeng! Controlling the range of an attack is simple, but controlling a powerful attack capable of harming Loose Immortal is not so simple!

"True Person Xingfeng, the original territory of the Tianxin Sect is returned to us by the Wu Yan Sect!" Yu Yang said to Zhang Xingfeng with a smile.
