In this world.
Almost all the families and sects that had been around for a long time had a so-called cabinet.
Those who were worshiped in the cabinet were their own ancestors.
Without exception, most of these ancestors were itinerant immortals.
It was even more difficult to ascend to immortality. It was no exaggeration to say that there were very few cultivators who could ascend to immortality in the end, less than one in ten thousand.
In ancient times and even ancient times, if one failed to transcend the tribulation, they would be reduced to ashes.
However, as the cultivation civilization became more and more prosperous, all kinds of arrays, elixirs, and magic treasures emerged one after another. Today, with the help of these things and the help of the sect masters, even if one failed to transcend the tribulation, one could ensure that one's soul would not be destroyed and the primordial spirit would not dissipate.
Although there was no chance to become an immortal in the future, there was at least one path to take, and that was to become an itinerant immortal.
The path of an itinerant immortal was the final destination for most cultivators.
Think about it.
Those who could ascend to immortality were one in ten thousand.
Except for those who were unlucky and failed the tribulation.
The rest could only embark on the path of an itinerant immortal.
Yes.
It could only be.
Because the path of an itinerant immortal was not easy.
It could be said to be full of tribulations. It was not just a thousand tribulations or ten thousand tribulations, but countless and endless. At least, since ancient times, no one had reached the end of the path of an itinerant immortal. Many itinerant immortals died on the path of tribulation.
The path of an itinerant immortal, the path of no return, endless tribulations, and the withering of time.
Even with the withering of time, there was no end to the tribulations of an itinerant immortal.
An itinerant immortal was an immortal but not an immortal.
They might have an immortal spirit, but that was all. If they failed to transcend the tribulation, their immortal spirit would become more turbid, and the immortal spirit power contained in it would be scattered and not condensed. Naturally, their strength would not be comparable to that of a true immortal.
Of course.
This was not absolute.
The strength of an ordinary itinerant immortal might not be comparable to that of a true immortal.
But as they transcended tribulation after tribulation, their immortal spirit would become purer and their immortal spirit power would become stronger.
On the path of an itinerant immortal, one immortal tribulation, one mountain, nine immortal tribulations, one heaven.
Rumor had it that as long as one transcended the nine immortal tribulations, their cultivation strength would be comparable to that of a true immortal.
However.
The nine stages of the Immortal Tribulation sounded easy, but how many people could actually transcend it?
It must be known that the Immortal Tribulations of Itinerant Immortals were each more terrifying than the previous one. The difficulty of the nine Immortal Tribulations was much higher than the tribulation to become an Immortal.
The reason they'd been reduced to Loose Immortals was because they'd failed to overcome the tribulation, and they'd barely managed to survive, so how could they possibly dare to overcome the ninth level of the tribulation?
Most of the Loose Immortals did not dare to take a step back.
Take Cangyun for example.
It had been more than two hundred years since he failed his tribulation and became an itinerant immortal. Even now, he was still a One Tribulation itinerant immortal.
Even if it was only the first level of the tribulation, it had almost caused him to turn into ashes. How could he dare to undergo the second level?
He wasn't the only one.
Today, there were twenty to thirty Loose Immortals in the Thái Tông Hall. Most of them were like Cangyun, one or two tribulations. Even the Supreme Elders of the Thái Tông were only at the Three Tribulations. Even the current Sect Leader Cang Kong was only at the Four Tribulations.
They didn't dare to continue cultivating, because if they did, they wouldn't be able to overcome the next level of the tribulation.
If he stopped here, he would still be able to live a carefree life.
If they continued to undergo the tribulation and failed, what awaited them would be death.
The Patriarchs in the inner circle of the Thái Tông Hall were all old Loose Immortals who had cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. The weakest among them was a Six Tribulation itinerant immortal. There were many Seven Tribulation itinerant immortals, Eight Tribulation itinerant immortals, and a few Nine Tribulation itinerant immortals who were comparable to real immortals. In addition, there were a few Patriarchs who had undergone more than Ten Tribulation.
After all, the Thái Tông Hall had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Even if the path of an itinerant immortal was difficult and many of the Patriarchs died on the way to the tribulation, there would still be some strong-willed itinerant immortals left.
"Sect Master, in recent years, my Tai Chi Sect's reputation has been deteriorating day by day. This time, Juncai's treasured body was crippled by someone. Not only is he my disciple, but he is also a direct disciple of our Tai Chi Sect. If our Tai Chi Sect also remains silent on this matter, what will the inner and outer sect disciples think? Who will join the Thái Tông Hall in the future? "
Many elders agreed with Cangyun's words.
Although they didn't want to, they had to admit that the Thái Tông Hall of today was no longer the same as it was in the past. In recent years, there had been many Heavenly Talents of the Creation Realm in the sect, including a Little Destiny. However, there hadn't been any Heavenly Talents of the Creation Realm that could shake the world. In addition, after the Nandou Sect had received the support of the Yan Luo Immortal Manor, its power had been increasing day by day. It was faintly showing signs of overtaking the Thái Tông Hall.
Originally, the reputation of the Thái Tông Hall had begun to decline in the Yan Luo Kingdom. If they didn't show up after their direct disciple was beaten, then the reputation of the Thái Tông Hall would inevitably fall.
However.
There were also some elders who, like Xu Mu, didn't agree with Cangyun's words.
First of all.
The Thái Tông Hall didn't have any grudges with the person who pretended to be the King. Li Juncai's injury this time was completely arbitrary. He couldn't blame anyone else.
This was a loss, and you went to find someone else to settle the score.
What would happen if you won?
Doing so would really lose the demeanor of a major sect and go against the purpose of the Thái Tông Hall.
This was only one of the reasons.
Secondly.
The person who pretended to be the King was obviously not a person to be trifled with. He even dared to kill the Viscount of Sengoku and beat up the Duke of Feathercloud, who had issued the Human Dao Edict. If he didn't have any real ability, how would he dare to openly challenge the dignity of Sengoku?
Thirdly.
The strength of the person who pretended to be the King was unfathomable. No one knew the depth of his strength. If this matter was reported to the Patriarch of the Inner Pavilion, if the Patriarch of the Inner Pavilion wasn't a match for him, then wouldn't the Thái Tông Hall's loss be even greater?
Fourthly.
Also the most important.
The person who claimed to be the King was a fake.
Who dared to say that he was definitely a fake?
What if he was real?
Wouldn't this be a disaster for the Thái Tông Hall?
Moreover.
The Crimson Dragon Elephant of Chi Xiao's people was in awe of him. Even if he wasn't the real King Chixiao, he was definitely related to the King.
In this world, no matter what or who, as long as the King was involved, who could afford to offend him?
No one could afford to offend him.
There were so many people who pretended to be the King in the world. Why didn't Sengoku eliminate them?
Did you think that Sengoku didn't want to?
No!
Sengoku was also afraid.
They were afraid that there might be a real King Chixiao among them.
Even Sengoku was so afraid of the King Chixiao. How could the little Thái Tông Hall dare to provoke the King Chixiao?
Xu Mu argued strongly and analyzed the pros and cons from many aspects. He said, "Master, the Thái Tông Hall's talents are not the only ones injured this time. The Nandou Sect and even the disciples of the Four Great Families and the other Six Great Sects are also injured. Especially the disciples of Immortal Mansion and Black-Hearted Master. Until now, they haven't made any moves. They must be as afraid as we are. If that's the case, why should we take this risk?"
