– On Sixth Heaven –
In the hexagonal palace of New Sun Sect –
There were dozens of Core Formation cultivators patrolling the perimeter of this uniquely designed palace.
Inside the palace, dozens of armchairs were arranged neatly, and dozens of Core Formation Realm cultivators were sitting on them. In front of each armchair, there was a small square table made of pear wood with exquisite teacups in it.
However, these cultivators all looked gloomy, and none of them were in the mood to drink tea.
These old cultivators who looked like they were only at the Core Formation Realm were actually the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had been knocked back to the Core Formation Realm by Qingfeng Hermit with one strike!
When they learned that Lingwu Master of Sky Mountain Sect had come out of his seclusion cultivation a few hours earlier and was heading toward Fifth Heaven, they didn't move because of Lingwu Master's strength.
However, the other eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect were all heading toward Fifth Heaven, which made the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators restless.
Fifth Heaven was poor in resources and nature essence, but it didn't mean that there were no treasures here. Most importantly, the Nine Dragon Palace, the holy land of the dragon cultivators, was hidden in a corner of Fifth Heaven.
Sky Mountain Sect had mobilized a lot of people, and strange phenomena appeared on Fifth Heaven. They suspected that a great treasure had appeared or that Sky Mountain Sect had found the hidden Nine Dragon Palace, so they all headed toward Fifth Heaven.
However, Qingfeng Hermit, who was on Eighth Heaven, showed her power and killed all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven!
Except for a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who were still cultivating in seclusion, all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven had dropped to the Core Formation Realm!
It was a catastrophe for Sixth Heaven!
In the few hours after they rushed back to Sixth Heaven, these grand cultivators had immediately entered seclusion cultivation. They tried their best and ate elixir pills, but they couldn't break through the restriction of the dharma notes.
Some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had connections with Seventh Heaven came to Seventh Heaven to ask for help, but the grand cultivators on Seventh Heaven couldn't do anything!
Essence-Locking Note was a high-level five-elemental dharma note, and it required the dharma note master to have a high understanding of the five elements and be able to use five kinds of nature essence at the same time.
Besides, this dharma note was made by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator. Although its power was greatly reduced after passing through Seventh Heaven and Sixth Heaven, it was still very powerful.
They had eaten all kinds of spirit pills, tried all kinds of talismans, and even used magic treasures to bombard their bodies, but their cultivation levels did not recover at all.
Therefore, the Patriarchs who had calmed down from their madness and impatience gathered together again to discuss countermeasures.
Elder Scorching Sun, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked at everyone and said unhurriedly, "Now that things have come to this point, if you have any other ideas, feel free to voice them out."
He was the Sect Leader of the New Sun Sect, and before he encountered the Spirit-sealing Talisman, he was also a Nascent Soul Cultivator in the late stage.
New Sun Sect used to be a sect on Seventh Heaven 200 years ago. However, due to the death of several peak Nascent Soul Realm masters and the death of three top-tier Nascent Soul Realm masters in a mystic realm, the New Sun Sect's strength declined sharply. Then, it was pushed aside by the other seven sects on Seventh Heaven, and the number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators dropped to 12. Feeling helpless, it had to move to Sixth Heaven.
After moving from Seventh Heaven to Sixth Heaven where the nature essence was relatively thin, New Sun Sect didn't make any adjustments in its resource strategy. Instead, it wanted to rise quickly and return to Seventh Heaven. As a result, the situation of the sect deteriorated year by year. Now, it only had eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, one less than Sky Mountain Sect.
Because of this, the rapidly rising Sky Mountain Sect had surpassed New Sun Sect in the number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and became one of the most powerful sects on Sixth Heaven. Moreover, it was still growing, and its goal was to ascend to Seventh Heaven.
Of course, the battle with Ethereal Summit had greatly damaged the mid-level Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect, and it was impossible for it to ascend to Seventh Heaven again.
"Lieyang Master." The cultivator sitting in the 12th seat cupped his hands and said, "Flaming Leaf Master and I asked Immortal Guo Wang of Seventh Heaven about the Soul Formation Realm cultivator who attacked us. He said that it should be the legendary Qingfeng Hermit."
"Qingfeng Hermit …"
The cultivators in the palace looked at each other as they read the name.
As a Soul Formation Realm cultivator on Seventh Heaven, Old Immortal Guo Wang's judgment couldn't be wrong.
As for Nascent Soul cultivators, they were considered to be high level cultivators in cultivation sects, so they knew a bit about the situation of Soul Formation cultivators.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven were different from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven. They were more well-informed and knew more things.
Qingfeng Hermit was a name that all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators knew. It was said that she was the most dangerous cultivator among the Soul Formation Realm cultivators, and even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators had to be careful when they encountered her.
This Soul Formation Realm cultivator cultivated the five elements at the same time and entered the Dao with dharma notes. Even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn't handle the dharma notes she shot out.
As for this Soul Formation cultivator, she often roamed the world with various identities. These Nascent Soul cultivators remembered her name because they were afraid that they would accidentally provoke her.
Of course, this name was only circulated among the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Otherwise, any cultivator could easily scare away the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators by calling out the name of Qingfeng Hermit.
"Immortal Guo Wang also said that the essence-locking note is different from ordinary dharma notes. As long as nature essence is used, the dharma note will be effective forever. Unless …"
All the ancestors abruptly straightened their bodies and pricked up their ears to listen to Ancestor Pine Leaf continue speaking.
"Unless Qingfeng Hermit does it herself, the dharma note can't be undone," Pine Leaf Master continued after seeing the reactions of the surrounding masters.
"Well …"
All of the Patriarchs in the palace lost their last breaths, and their faces became gloomy again.
Qingfeng Hermit was on Eighth Heaven, and who could go to Eighth Heaven?
Besides, even if they could meet Qingfeng Hermit, who could ask her to undo the dharma note?
Just like how Nascent Soul Realm masters didn't care about Core Formation Realm cultivators, Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn't care about Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
"What happened to Xiefeng Master?" Lieyang Master looked at the empty armchair at the end and asked.
"He asked six of his trusted disciples to set up a fire array formation, trying to burn away the dharma note in his body with elixir making techniques. However, he was severely injured before the dharma note disappeared," one of the masters said.
This scene seemed hilarious. If it were in the past, they would have laughed or at least chuckled when they heard such a scandal. But now, no one was in the mood to laugh at others …
To refine oneself like a pill was indeed a foolish thing to do. However, in order to get rid of the essence-locking dharma note, all the masters had done all kinds of stupid things after trying all kinds of conventional methods before Lieyang Master summoned them for a discussion.
Some of the masters were covered with wounds, and they only covered them with thick Daoist robes!
"This incident was caused by Sky Mountain Sect. Could it be …" another master broke the silence and asked tentatively.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"Since it was caused by Sky Mountain Sect, it should end with Sky Mountain Sect. In my opinion, the 26 sects should force Sky Mountain Sect to hand over the culprit and then hand him to Ethereal Summit. In this way, Qingfeng Hermit might calm down and remove the dharma note for us. "
The cultivator looked around and said.
Everyone was silent while they considered the feasibility of this method. If they did this, it would be the same as 26 sects attacking Sky Mountain Sect together. However, Sky Mountain Sect wasn't a pushover.
Each sect on Sixth Heaven had at least two to three Nascent Soul Realm masters, and Sky Mountain Sect would be alarmed if all these Nascent Soul Realm masters attacked together.
However, now that these Nascent Soul Realm masters had turned into Core Formation Realm cultivators, there were only dozens of Core Formation Realm cultivators.
In this case, the so-called siege was actually a bloody battle between the Core Formation Realm cultivators. These Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had been used to the Nascent Soul Realm, and now that they had dropped to the Core Formation Realm, it was like returning to the state they had been hundreds of years ago. Their cultivation strength was greatly reduced, and they couldn't use dharma treasures.
It was possible that these former Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would be killed by two to three elite Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect.
However, if the Core Formation Realm cultivators fought with each other, both sides would suffer heavy losses. Especially since none of the 26 sects would be willing to lead the charge, it would be a mess. If Sky Mountain Sect attacked them fiercely, they would suffer heavy casualties.
At this thought, all the masters in the palace remained silent.
Sky Mountain Sect had been developing rapidly, and they wanted to suppress Sky Mountain Sect. However, they didn't have a Nascent Soul Realm master, and Sky Mountain Sect had a lot of elixir pills. If a battle broke out, it would be hard to say what would happen.
On Sixth Heaven, everyone wanted to devour other sects. However, each sect had a few Nascent Soul Realm masters, and they couldn't easily fight with each other. Now that Sky Mountain Sect had suffered great losses, and all nine of its Nascent Soul Realm masters were destroyed, it was time for them to divide the territory of Sky Mountain Sect. However, they were all destroyed!
There were almost no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven!
What a horrifying scene it was! It wasn't a matter of who would devour who. Instead, it was a matter of whether they would become a subsidiary sect of Seventh Heaven! Or they would be forced to Fifth Heaven!
This was a situation full of opportunities and dangers!
Whoever could recover to the Nascent Soul Realm first would have an important opportunity. Imagine two sects with similar strength, but one had a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and the other didn't. For the former, it was an opportunity, but for the latter, it was a danger!
"Since none of you can find a solution, we'll discuss it another day!" Lieyang Master waved his hand.
The Patriarchs present all had their own ulterior motives, so the discussion could only end on a sour note.
