The large floating raft was filled to the brim. In the cultivation world, there were some things that could be placed in a space bag, but there were also some that couldn't. A floating raft of a certain size was still necessary.
Once everything was ready, the three True Monarchs boarded the raft and the journey began!
It was only at this moment that Lou Xiaoyi began to understand what the foundation of a sect was, and what a top-notch sect was. Just like Xuanyuan, in order to maintain such a large scale, 30% of the True Monarchs were needed in the Clear Sky Sect. True Monarchs were needed in order to travel through the universe, defend the headquarters of the Five Rings, and hunt outside. In addition, there were those who went out to travel for their own purposes. For an ordinary sect, a dozen True Monarchs were not enough!
Just like the route between the Five Rings and the Clear Sky Sect, three True Monarchs boarded at once, and one Yuanying True Monarch was not brought along.
This meant that even though they were familiar with the route and had traveled it countless times, the Swordsman were still prepared to fight at any time.
Five years was the distance between the Five Rings and Zuo Zhou! And this was through the anti-material space! Perhaps five years was not a long time for a True Monarch, but to the Jin Dan, they would not be able to travel like this too many times.
Perfected Immortals could travel through the universe without affecting their own understanding of cultivation, because what they were comprehending now was the Dao state, the Great Dao, and other mysterious things. However, Golden Core Cultivators were still stuck at the stage where they needed Space Spiritium, which had an obvious impact on their individual cultivation.
Lou Xiaoyi was still alright. The Sword Spirits were breaking through on the Bo Lang Slope, and his martial arts were mostly related to the stars, so he was not affected much. The only ones affected were the other Jin Dan, but considering their current situation, it did not matter whether they cultivated or not.
Other than Lou Xiaoyi, there were six other Jin Dan accompanying them, all of whom were from the External Sword Vein. From this, one could see the difference in the Sword Heart between the Inner and Outer Sword Veins. It was not without reason that the Inner Sword had led Xuanyuan for tens of thousands of years.
They would occasionally converse with each other, but they rarely talked about themselves. For cultivators who had reached this stage, they were all failures and sad people. Who would be willing to talk about their own unbearable matters?
Among them, there was a senior brother named Tianmen who was the most talkative. Lou Xiaoyi would often ask him about the local customs and geography of the Clear Sky Continent in his free time. Although Tianmen had left the Clear Sky Continent for hundreds of years, he had grown up in the Clear Sky Continent after all. He had achieved success in his cultivation and only went to the Fifth Ring after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Hundreds of years were just the blink of an eye for a domain, so his introduction was very practical. After all, it was different from a book.
"You have to be careful of Buddhism!"
Tianmen's reminder received the approval of the other Jin Dan disciples. They had more or less guessed the purpose of this young Jin Dan's trip to the Clear Sky Continent. Cigarette Butt's name was very famous among the External Sword Veins of the Thousand Virtues Peak. He had broken the myth of the Inner Sword's dominance for tens of thousands of years when he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, they did not agree with his trip to the Clear Sky Continent this time. After all, Jin Dan and Foundation Establishment were two different concepts. What could be done in the Foundation Establishment stage might not be the same in the Jin Dan stage. They were more inclined to continue their studies for a period of time, at least a hundred years. Two hundred years would be safer, but no one listened to their words. They were just grumbling.
"The Buddhist Sect is flourishing in the Clear Sky Continent now! The Fangzhang Island, the Thousand Islands Region, and the Chuishang Plateau are all under the Buddhist Sect's control! They did not establish themselves in the Five Rings, but chose to develop in a certain star field in the universe to the left. It didn't seem to be going well, so they placed their focus on the Clear Sky Continent. As a result, the strength of the Daoist Sect became slightly weaker.
Some of the original Daoist powers have declined, while others have suddenly risen. After tens of thousands of years, the world has changed, and the changes are not small. It's normal for them to have some ideas. "
Lou Xiaoyi had a very important question. "In the Clear Sky Continent, is the rivalry between Xuanyuan and the Three Pure Ones still the same as in the Five Rings? Is it more intense? Or is it softer? "
Tianmen nodded. "You've asked the main point! The rivalry between Xuanyuan and the Three Pure Ones has never changed. No matter where it is, it's just that the methods are different.
In the Five Rings, it's more direct. This is also the influence of the Five Rings' environment. In the Clear Sky Continent, it's softer because they have more helpers. They don't need to rush to the front! "
Lou Xiaoyi understood. "Senior Brother, what you mean is that the Three Pure Ones instigated and supported those small and medium-sized powers?"
Tianmen sighed. "That's right! Otherwise, how would those small and medium-sized powers dare to be disrespectful to Xuanyuan in the Clear Sky Continent?
This is the most powerful thing about the Dharma lineage. They may not be able to defeat you in a cultivation war, but they can harass you for tens of thousands of years. Wherever you have territory, they can find more disciples of the Dharma lineage! They will constantly nibble away and incite conflicts, and they will profit from it. If they can't do it once, they will do it again. There will be no end to it! "
Lou Xiaoyi pondered. "And the Perfected Lords are not of much use at this level?"
Tianmen nodded. "That's right. The Perfected Lords are dealing with the major matters of the universe, including the Perfected Ones! This is the most disgusting thing about the Three Pure Ones. They strictly abide by the principle of high level cultivators not participating in internal conflicts. Their goal is to prevent the high level cultivators of Xuanyuan from interfering in internal affairs!
The high level cultivators are crippled. They are competing with the low level Jin Dan Foundation Establishment. Our Xuanyuan Sword Vein is alone in the Clear Sky Continent. We are weak, but the Dharma lineage is blossoming everywhere. Young people with potential go to the Five Rings. The result is that the low level cultivators in the Clear Sky Continent are stretched. There are not enough of them, and their quality is not good either. You can imagine their situation. "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. The Three Pure Ones' strategy was very clever. It was a completely open scheme. They were competing with each other's foundation. If the young disciples of Clear Sky Continent did not support the Five Rings, but formed their own system in the Clear Sky Continent, the situation would be much better. However, this also meant that the power of the Five Rings would be weakened. More importantly, the Five Rings would have abundant spiritual opportunity, but the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Clear Sky Continent would not be able to enjoy it!
This was a contradiction! Xuanyuan's countermeasure was to send the outstanding Foundation Establishment and Jin Dan Foundation Establishment cultivators to the Five Rings. They would cultivate in the best environment for spiritual opportunity, in the most intense cultivation atmosphere, but they would struggle to survive in the Clear Sky Continent!
And he was sent back to stir up sh * t! It was basically impossible to achieve this with one person's strength. He was afraid that he would only be able to turn the situation around during crucial events. This pressure was really not ordinary!
"How is the relationship between Buddhism and the Dharma Lineage?"
Tianmen smiled bitterly. "Not much! The problem is that there are no fools in the cultivation world! No matter how bad the relationship between the two sects is, they are not stupid enough to fight each other and let our Sword Vein benefit from it!
They are all squeezing each other dry. It's just that we can't compare to the foundation of the Dharma Lineage, and we can't compare to the Buddhists who are focused on one realm. This is a bit of a disadvantage!
If you want to find a way to make the two sects fall out, it's difficult, difficult, difficult!
