C1360 His Shocking Guess!
C1360 His Shocking Guess!
Given the presence of peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivators, Lin Xuan and his party naturally drew the attention of various major powers. Lin Xuan made no attempt to take a detour or conceal their movements. The major powers quickly deduced their path, eagerly anticipating the unfolding drama.
They were puzzled as to why this enigmatic peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivator, previously unheard of, was heading to the Elemental Spirit Sect. Could it be that there was animosity between him and the Devil Cloud Sect, prompting an alliance with the Elemental Spirit Sect to confront the Devil Cloud Sect together?
If that were the case, why not ally with the more powerful East Saint Sect?
When the Devil Cloud Sect turned hostile, it ignited a continent-wide conflict. The true might of the six major powers could no longer be concealed and was laid bare for all to see. The Devil Cloud Sect emerged as the undisputed strongest, with its number of peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivators, the quantity of Emperor Level Martial Cultivators, and the potency of its sect's protective formation far surpassing any of the other five major powers.
The other five major powers had to collaborate in pairs just to stand a chance against the Devil Cloud Sect. However, when they united and attacked the Devil Cloud Sect, they walked into an ambush and suffered devastating losses in the battle known as the 'Devil Cloud Siege.' Since then, the five major powers have struggled to regain their footing, requiring a five-way alliance to challenge the Devil Cloud Sect.
Below the Devil Cloud Sect, the East Saint Sect was recognized as the strongest. The Elemental Spirit Sect, Purple Cauldron Sect, and Thunder Yang Pavilion were relatively equal in strength. The Canglan Sect, predominantly led by female cultivators, was considered the weakest. Yet, even the Canglan Sect boasted a peak Emperor Level expert in its ranks, capable of mounting a solid defense against the Devil Cloud Sect, if not an offensive.
Lin Xuan's current journey to the Elemental Spirit Sect raised questions about his underlying intentions. What significance lay behind his choice?
They could do nothing but quietly observe and wait for the outcome.
The news about Lin Xuan's group continued to be closely monitored.
As reports kept coming in, the various major powers noticed something highly unusual.
It turned out that the leader of this group was not the peak Emperor Level expert, but rather a Martial Cultivator who appeared to be very young.
And the peak Emperor Level expert seemed content to follow behind, like a guard.
This revelation sent shockwaves through the major powers, yet they unanimously chose not to believe it.
A peak Emperor Level expert stood at the pinnacle of the Dongyuan Continent, serving as either an ancestor or a Grand Elder within the six great powers, and even as the true sovereign and controller of the land.
One could only imagine their status.
Who could possibly have the authority to make such a figure act as a guard?
It was inconceivable at their level.
And the thought of someone existing at an even higher level than the peak Emperor Level was beyond their consideration.
Such beings were only known through hearsay and never witnessed.
Throughout the history of the Dongyuan Continent, the strongest had always been at the peak Emperor Level.
Upon analyzing the news, they rationalized it with a consistent narrative.
If one or two people could lie, it was impossible for so many to do so simultaneously.
Therefore, there was only one explanation.
The young-looking Martial Cultivator leading the group must also be a peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivator, with strength surpassing the others, qualifying him to lead.
The fact that he looked very young, seemingly in his twenties, was not significant.
With advancement in Martial Cultivation, reaching a certain level naturally extends one's lifespan.
It was entirely plausible for someone with exceptional talent at the Emperor Level to retain a youthful appearance.
Moreover, various martial arts, secret techniques, and elixirs could preserve a Martial Cultivator's youth and extend their life.
While such phenomena might seem miraculous to lower-level Martial Cultivators, they were quite ordinary among the elite.
Indeed, within the six great powers, it was not uncommon to find Emperor Level Martial Cultivators who maintained a youthful appearance.
The major powers weren't focused on the trivial details. What truly captured their attention was the composition of this particular group: two individuals and one beast, with both individuals being peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivators. Considering the scarcity of such experts across the entire continent, this was significant.
The great defeat at the hands of the Devil Cloud Sect had left the five major forces with severe losses. Within the ranks of the Elemental Spirit Sect, Thunder Yang Pavilion, and others, it was doubtful that even two peak Emperor Level experts remained. By comparison, the power this group wielded was alarmingly formidable.
The six great forces no longer dared to take them lightly. Yet, this group remained aloof, showing no interest in engaging with others. The various powers were left in the dark about their true intentions, forced to wait and see what would unfold once they reached the Elemental Spirit Sect. They would have to devise their strategies based on how the Elemental Spirit Sect responded.
For the time being, as long as no hostility was shown, none wished to become adversaries with this group. Lin Xuan and his companions had yet to take any action, but they had already caused a stir throughout the Dongyuan Continent, drawing the gaze of numerous martial cultivators and the upper echelons.
The prestige and status of a peak Emperor Level expert were evident. Lin Xuan was well aware of this. He hadn't sought out information, but a glance at his attribute panel, with its rapidly increasing energy points, gave him a good idea of his impact. He remained unconcerned.
The plans he had in store were far grander than what had transpired so far. He was eager to see how many energy points he could accumulate from this venture. Currently, whether on the Dongyuan Continent, the Central Essence Continent, or within the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the treasures held by the likes of Wu Tumie and other enigmatic figures no longer justified the expenditure of energy points to replicate.
To Lin Xuan, energy points were a strategic resource, and he could never have too many. An Emperor Level Treasure required a staggering one hundred million energy points, while a Supreme Level item demanded an astronomical ten billion. Beyond that, Lin Xuan couldn't even fathom the cost. He surmised that, at that point, the entire Tianyuan Continent might not be able to sustain such demand.
In the Tianyuan Continent, there were still limits to the levels one could achieve.
The total number of energy points available for acquisition undoubtedly had its bounds.
And he, Lin Xuan, was likely nearing that threshold.
Whether for the sake of his own future or in preparation for the impending disaster, accumulating more energy points was essential.
He couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Before he knew it, another couple of hours had slipped by.
The journey from the Southern Warm Mountain Range to the Elemental Spirit Sect spanned nearly half the continent.
At top speed, they were almost there.
It wouldn't be long now.
Lin Xuan and his companions soon arrived at the final city, Elemental Spirit City.
In many ways, it was comparable to Jade Dragon City.
Elemental Spirit City lay at the base of the mountain range under the complete control of the Elemental Spirit Sect.
Once in Elemental Spirit City, one could reach the Elemental Spirit Sect in mere moments.
The Elemental Spirit Sect was a bustling hub of activity, renowned as one of the top large-scale cities on the Dongyuan Continent.
Typically, it was safeguarded by two Emperor Level Martial Cultivators at the Middle stage.
