While Ling Tian and the others were nurturing or refining the Fengyun Pavilion's sect-protecting treasures, a piece of news spread like wildfire throughout the God Realm: Lingxiao Pavilion and Divine Sword Cliff had found the guiding ore for Soul Quenching Liquid and had already refined high-grade Soul Quenching Liquid. The news quickly divided the realm into two opposing sides, stirring up a huge commotion.
Many major sects in the God Realm had obtained the method for refining Body Quenching Liquid when they fought the Outer Realm Cultivators. They had successfully refined some, and its effects had proved extraordinary. They had also realized that Soul Quenching Liquid would have miraculous effects, so they had all set their sights on it. However, they had never found the guiding ore needed to refine it, and so they had been unable to produce any.
Now that they had heard Lingxiao Pavilion and Divine Sword Cliff had learned the secret of refining Soul Quenching Liquid, they were naturally tempted, and soon grew covetous. Many "clever people" guessed that Ling Tian and the others had been able to "easily" defeat the experts from the three major sects because they had used high-grade Soul Quenching Liquid. This only made them more determined to get their hands on it, and they began plotting against Lingxiao Pavilion and Divine Sword Cliff.
So far, besides Chi Xue and the others, no one knew where the Lingxiao Realm was. The people of the God Realm therefore began targeting Divine Sword Cliff.
Although Chi Xue and the others knew where Lingxiao Pavilion was, they wouldn't spread that information around. They wanted to avoid alerting their enemies, and they wanted to claim the Enlightenment Sacred Tree and the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique for themselves.
It made sense. If Chi Xue spread the word
