Part Two: Cultivation World, Volume One: The Tianxin Sect on the Brink of Collapse - Tianfeng

Today, a curfew has been imposed around the main hall of the Tianxin Sect, prohibiting even core disciples from approaching, as the Tianxin Sect's elders and Bi Yan are currently discussing important sect matters within the hall.

The Great Elder, Bi Yan, Zhang Xingfeng, and Zhong Heng make up a total of nine people. These nine people are also the decision-making body of the Tianxin Sect at this time. Zhong Heng did not have a master back then, but now he has directly entered Tianxin Sect and become a Great Elder. Including Little Dragon, Tianxin Sect now has eight elders.

Bi Yan sat in the main seat, full of vigor, and said, "Elders, our Tianxin Sect now has 12,121 disciples. It is already a large sect. We can face our ancestors in the future."

Upon hearing Bi Yan's words, all the elders beamed with joy. "Yes, a million-year pursuit has become a reality in their generation. This is a great honor for the Tianxin Sect!"

Bi Yan's expression suddenly darkened as she said, "But at the same time, our Tianxin Sect has already provoked a powerful enemy. If we are not careful, the Tianxin Sect may even perish!"

Upon hearing Bi Yan's words, the entire hall erupted into chaos. All the elders wore expressions of disbelief. They couldn't believe that the Tianxin Sect, with its incredibly powerful Supreme Elder Zhang Xingfeng, whose cultivation had reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Zhang Xingfeng, as well as Long (also known as Little Dragon), who was also Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Zhong Heng, whose cultivation had reached the Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal Zhong Heng, could have been wiped out. However, Bi Yan was known for her composure, and the elders knew that she wouldn't speak carelessly.

But this was a bit too alarmist, and all the elders turned their attention to the Supreme Elder Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, and a blue jade token appeared in his hand. All the elders could clearly see the word "Xuan" on it. Zhang Xingfeng sighed, "Do you know what this token is? This is the Nine Heavens Xuan Immortal Order of the Immortal World!"

As a high-ranking member of a sect in the Cultivation World, the elder naturally knew a little about the immortal realm. He also knew that Nine Heavens Profound Immortal was a more powerful expert than Great Luo Golden Immortal. Therefore, the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Token was not something that the Heavenly Tianxin Sect could disobey. After all, the Tianxin Sect only had Great Luo Golden Immortal. One Nine Heavens Profound Immortal could deal with ten Great Luo Golden Immortal.

When Zhang Xingfeng killed Old Daoist Wu Shen, the elders all stood far away because the powerful energy from the battle between the Four Loose Immortal and Old Daoist Wu Shen had forced them far away, so they didn't see the token.

"Senior Uncle, is this token really the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Token?" Bi Zhu stood up and bowed to Zhang Xingfeng. He didn't doubt Zhang Xingfeng's words, but he really didn't want to believe that they had offended the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded and said, "This Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Token is genuine, and this Nine Heavens Profound Immortal is from the Purple Cloud Realm!"

"The Purple Cloud Realm!" The elders exclaimed in unison. As cultivators, who didn't know the power of the Purple Cloud Realm? Of the five great cultivation holy lands, the Purple Cloud Realm alone occupied the largest one, and only the central one. Although the Bright Sun Sect and the Lingyu Sect were also super-large sects, they could only share the Mingling Star. One could imagine just how powerful the Purple Cloud Realm was!

The history of the Purple Cloud Realm in the Cultivation World is far longer than these elders remember. They only know that, according to the records of the Tianxin Sect, the Purple Cloud Realm seems to have always existed!

That's for sure. In the Immortal Realm, a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal is generally over a million years old, Immortal Monarch has tens of millions of years of cultivation, and Immortal Emperor is even more so. As the sect of the Great Emperor Ziwei, the Purple Cloud Realm has an incredibly long history!

"Senior Uncle, is it possible to reconcile with the Purple Cloud Realm? Besides, the Purple Cloud Realm shouldn't bother with a small sect like ours!" Bi Liu stood up and said to Zhang Xingfeng. Small sect? This wasn't Bi Liu being modest; in the eyes of the Purple Cloud Realm, the Tianxin Sect probably really was a small sect.

Zhang Xingfeng shook his head slightly.

"Is there absolutely no hope? Is this really how the Purple Cloud Realm treats my Tianxin Sect? My Tianxin Sect has never done anything bad to the Purple Cloud Realm!" Bi Liu found it hard to accept all of this. The Tianxin Sect had just become a large sect, but in the blink of an eye, it was about to face the attack from the leader of the super-large sects— the Purple Cloud Realm.

Zhang Xingfeng glanced at the elders and said with a smile, "This Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Token was obtained from Old Daoist Wu Shen. Let me tell you, the reason why Old Daoist Wu Shen dared to treat my Tianxin Sect like this, and why the surrounding sects didn't come to deal with him, is because he has the Purple Cloud Realm backing him up. In other words, Old Daoist Wu Shen's attempt to destroy my Tianxin Sect was orchestrated by the Purple Cloud Realm! Moreover, I disregarded this Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Token and killed Old Daoist Wu Shen, which means I didn't give the Purple Cloud Realm any face! As the leader of the Cultivation World, how could the Purple Cloud Realm tolerate me not giving them face? Do you even need to think about the Purple Cloud Realm's attitude?"

Everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected that the Old Daoist Wu Shen was backed by the incredibly powerful Purple Cloud Realm. The Purple Cloud Realm was actually supporting the Old Daoist Wu Shen, allowing him to destroy the Tianxin Sect! If the Purple Cloud Realm could treat the Tianxin Sect like that, they certainly wouldn't show Tianxin Sect. Moreover, Zhang Xingfeng had disregarded the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Token and killed the Old Daoist Wu Shen, showing such disrespect to the Purple Cloud Realm. It would be strange if the Purple Cloud Realm didn't go berserk!

Bi Liu said to Zhang Xingfeng, "The Purple Cloud Realm shouldn't treat my Tianxin Sect like this. We are just a sect on a third-level cultivation star. How could they treat us like this? Senior Uncle, you are now Great Luo Golden Immortal. I think if you go and reconcile with the Purple Cloud Realm, I believe the Purple Cloud Realm won't make things difficult for us!"

Zhang Xingfeng had long since figured it out: Old Daoist Wu Shen had escaped from the Dead Zone, and it was obvious that he had been recruited by the Purple Cloud Realm. Purple Cloud Realm then bestowed upon him a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Token to deal with the Tianxin Sect, who was also on Tianyan Star. It was probably Old Daoist Wu Shen's own decision, and he believed that Old Daoist Wu Shen wanted to make his sect stronger.

Purple Cloud Realm knew about this and of course supported it. They really didn't care about the Tianxin Sect, but Old Daoist Wu Shen was a Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal. As long as he cultivated, he might even become Great Luo Golden Immortal. Why would they cause a conflict with Old Daoist Wu Shen for a small sect that had nothing to do with them?

However, Zhang Xingfeng was very happy because Bi Liu was so weak. Zhang Xingfeng already had a way to deal with the Purple Cloud Realm. He joined forces with the Bright Sun Sect, and he also had a divine artifact. In addition, he was about to implement the offering group plan!

It might be difficult to deal with the Purple Cloud Realm, but it's definitely enough to protect myself.

"Bi Liu, he, Purple Cloud Realm, wants to destroy my Tianxin Sect, yet you want to compromise. As an elder of the Tianxin Sect, can't you have any backbone?" Bi Yan glared at Bi Liu and rebuked her.

Bi Liu was shocked. Yes, she had actually been so frightened by the reputation of the Purple Cloud Realm. The Tianxin Sect was no longer the Tianxin Sect of the past. With that miraculous sect-protecting formation, and her master uncle being Great Luo Golden Immortal, what was there to worry about? Moreover, the Purple Cloud Realm was going to destroy her sect. What a great enmity! It was treating her sect like this, and she had just...

Thinking of this, Bi Liu couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Seeing Bi Liu's expression, Zhang Xingfeng knew what Bi Liu was thinking. He knew that the reputation of the Purple Cloud Realm was too great. In the Cultivation World, the Purple Cloud Realm was the highest existence. It was normal for Bi Liu to think this way!

Zhang Xingfeng stood up with a faint smile on his face. The elders all looked at Zhang Xingfeng, and were simultaneously taken aback: The Supreme Elder? Immediately, the elders relaxed a lot. Since Zhang Xingfeng was so relaxed, he must have a method. What were they worried about?

"I already have a way to deal with the Purple Cloud Realm, everyone don't need to worry!" Zhang Xingfeng's first words reassured everyone. However, Zhang Xingfeng thought to himself, "Hmph, my Tianxin Sect's protective formation is the Blood Kill Gate's protective formation. Even if Immortal Monarch came in person, it would probably take a very long time. Nine Heavens Profound Immortal? Hmph, in this Phantom Absolute Kill Micro Dust Array, he'll just be waiting to die!"

The Blood Kill Gate is one of the three major sects in the Demon Realm. The power of its protective formation is beyond Zhang Xingfeng's imagination. Zhang Xingfeng only knows that even Great Luo Golden Immortal has absolutely no power to resist this formation! He doesn't know anything else, but he can see in Zhang Xingfeng eyes that even someone with ten times the power wouldn't be able to break through this formation, so he believes there's nothing to worry about with Nine Heavens Profound Immortal!

However, the true power of this sect-protecting formation was stronger than Zhang Xingfeng had imagined. Anyone at the level of a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal would die in droves. Even Immortal Monarch could only survive within the formation; crossing it was out of the question! It was estimated that only Immortal Emperor could cross it!

After all, it's the protective formation of the three major sects of the Demon Realm!

Such a formation originally required an expert of the Immortal Emperor level to set up, but Zhang Xingfeng managed to do so using the power of the Boundless, which is a higher level than Demonic Yuan Power energy. After all, being a level higher brings unimaginable benefits! Although the Immortal Emperor's immortal energy is pure and inexhaustible like the ocean, it could easily kill Zhang Xingfeng by sheer quantity and purity.

However, if the Immortal Emperor's pure Celestial Essence was equal to Zhang Xingfeng's Limitless Power (this is impossible; the Immortal Emperor's Celestial Essence is absolutely inexhaustible, this is just a hypothetical scenario!), the outcome would likely be a draw at best! (The Immortal Emperor's Celestial Essence is far too pure, while Zhang Xingfeng's Limitless Power is not pure enough.) But since the Immortal Emperor's Celestial Essence is inexhaustible, what then? Zhang Xingfeng wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from the Immortal Emperor!

Zhang Xingfeng looked at the elders below, who were already much more relaxed. "Elders, I have something important to announce!"

All the elders focused their attention on Zhang Xingfeng's words. Zhang Xingfeng said, "The most important thing now is to promote and develop our Tianxin Sect, and I have the methods. The first is to strengthen the Tianxin Sect itself. The second is to establish an Immortal Offering Group!"

"An Immortal Offering Group?" All the elders were stunned. They knew about offering groups; some large sects had such groups, but these groups usually consisted mainly of experts at the Tribulation Crossing Stage or Great Accomplishment Completion stages, with one or two Loose Immortal being quite remarkable. Only the offering groups of the largest sects were composed of immortals or Loose Immortal, and only they were qualified to become Immortal Offering Groups. Now, Zhang Xingfeng and Xin Guxi wanted to establish an Immortal Offering Group?

The elders immediately envisioned the Tianxin Sect with the support of the Immortals. Needless to say, with the support of the Immortals, the Tianxin Sect would undoubtedly be the strongest among the large sects!

"The most important thing is to strengthen the Tianxin Sect itself. I have over ten thousand Qi Spirit Awakening Pill and over five hundred Biling Pill here. I believe these pills should be able to greatly increase the strength of the Tianxin Sect!" Zhang Xingfeng smiled as he looked at the elders.

"Spirit Awakening Pill... over ten thousand!" The elders trembled. How could they know that Zhang Xingfeng possessed millions of Monster Core, enough to refine even more Spirit Awakening Pill at any time? Of course, these Demon Beasts were obtained from Primordial Era World, Primordial Era had become a training ground for the disciples of the Tianxin Sect in the Mortal World. Every year, thousands of disciples would participate in the trials, bringing back hundreds of thousands of inner cores (an average of only a few dozen per disciple per year). Over the past hundred years, the Mortal World had accumulated over ten million inner cores, so Zhang Xingfeng bringing a few million was nothing! Moreover, the Demon Beast in the Primordial Era were virtually endless; the number of new Demon Beast born each year was estimated to be more than they had killed!

Bi Yan was also very excited. The Spirit Awakening Pill Dan could greatly increase the power of low-level disciples and allow new disciples to quickly reach the Golden Core Stage. The Biling Pill was even more precious, raising the level by two realms, which was not something that ordinary sects could possess.

Zhang Xingfeng continued, "From now on, every core disciple of my Tianxin Sect will possess a Low-grade Immortal Artifact!"

When Zhang Xingfeng said this, all the elders were stunned. Low-grade Immortal Artifact! No sect in the entire country had even one. Now, with just one sentence from Zhang Xingfeng, every core disciple had a Low-grade Immortal Artifact!

Zhang Xingfeng had already considered all of this. He originally thought it would be better to give fewer immortal artifacts to his disciples, but after hearing about the Purple Cloud Realm, he knew he couldn't avoid it, so he might as well take a forceful approach and completely oppose the Purple Cloud Realm!

Each core disciple possesses Low-grade Immortal Artifact. It's estimated that no large sect would dare to confront the Tianxin Sect. Even super-large sects probably wouldn't have such a large scale of operations. Super-large sects can't rely on sheer numbers to deal with the Tianxin Sect, since attacking with over a thousand immortal artifacts simultaneously would be unbearable even for a large number of cultivators.

"Hmph, Purple Cloud Realm, ever since you decided to support Old Daoist Wu Shen against my Tianxin Sect, you have already decided that my Tianxin Sect will be completely opposed to you! I want to see just how powerful your Purple Cloud Realm really is!" Zhang Xingfeng's blood was boiling.

"Elders, the most important step for the growth of our Tianxin Sect is to establish an Immortal Worship Group. And to establish this group, we must attract immortals. The best way to attract immortals is through immortal artifacts. Therefore, I have decided to establish Heavenly Peak!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a cold smile. He could already imagine the exhilarating scene of the immortals in the Immortal Worship Group unleashing Top-grade Immortal Artifact!
