Chapter 0091: 0091
Valley of Immortal Fate .
By the time Wu Yu and the others reached the plains outside of the Valley of Immortal Fate on the backs of their Immortal Cranes, the disciples who were participating in this iteration were largely all present .
"Since the emergence of the spiritual qi spring, many were able to break through . This year, quite a few have reached the fourth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm for the first time, causing the total number to be slightly higher than last year's . "
The moment their Immortal Cranes landed, Su Yanli began to analyze it for him .
At first glance, Wu Yu saw that there were about 10 odd people .
"Still alright . About half are at the fourth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm, while the other half are at the fifth tier . It's significantly harder for the fourth tiers to get an immortal root . "
Su Yanli could attain an immortal root at the fourth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm because of her ability .
To martial cultivators, immortal roots were just too important .
Just ahead was the Valley of Immortal Fate . Looking out at the misty mountain cluster, it was unclear what the vast mountain ranges held from this position .
He could vaguely make out the sounds of wild beasts from within .
The wind that blew felt extremely moist . Within the wetness, there was a stench .
Although this place was adjacent to the Bipo Mountain Range, one was like heaven and the other like hell .
Wu Yu's unexpected arrival had naturally attracted the attention of all those present . Within them was Lan Shuiyue, hair tied back in a ponytail, with two swords on her back . She was talking and laughing with those around her, like a blue flower within their midst . She noticed Wu Yu, and her expression suddenly froze .
Yesterday at the Myriad Treasures Valley, not only had they failed to clarify matters, they had also caused everyone to think that there was something going on between them . Before Wu Yu came, someone else had mentioned it, and had been thoroughly cursed at by Lan Shuiyue . Naturally, she included Wu Yu in the scorn .
"Look, it’s the shameless guy you were just talking about . He's here . Hehe," a nubile and slender girl beside Lan Shuiyue said . Her long hair was lightly curled, tumbling gently on her full chest . She wore a red robe that split below, revealing a pair of creamy and full legs . Her red lips were alluring and her expression smoky . She was a pretty thing, and her teasing smile only drew more attention to her .
In truth, besides the personal disciples of the Sect Leader and the Sect Protector, those that could reach the fourth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm and above were at least twice the age of Su Yanli and the others . That was why all these disciples did not look young at all . The woman in the red dress beside Lan Shuiyue had a mature flavor to her .
"Quiet, Ni Hongyi . " Lan Shuiyue's expression turned cold . At this time, Su Yanli and Mo Shishu had already brought Wu Yu beside them .
"Wu Yu, you should not be here . Scram quickly . " Lan Shuiyue detested him the most . The moment he was near, others would whisper .
Yesterday, Wu Yu had sent Lan Shuiyue packing, and the news had spread throughout the Bipo Mountain Range, causing Lan Shuiyue to lose face .
At present, there were many in the Heavenly Sword Sect who admired Wu Yu's godly talents . He had far surpassed Lan Shuiyue's own influence .
Lan Shuiyue had just finished speaking when Wu Yu and the others walked straight past, ignoring her .
In front, there was a stream, beside which sat a person . There were a few middle-aged people standing around, both men and women .
"These are Elder Shentu's helpers . They are roughly at the seventh tier of the Qi Condensation Realm, and almost ready to become elders themselves . They are the cornerstones of the sect . "
Before they came, Su Yanli had already introduced them to Wu Yu .
The Heavenly Sword Sect did not care about seniority . Those of the Body Refining Realm’s sixth tier and above could become external disciples . After they condensed their qi, they could become core disciples . Those above the eighth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm could become elders .
As for positions like the Sect Leader, Sect Protector, Five Elders, and Elder of Imparting Arts, these did not just depend on ability, but also talent and actions .
Those at the seventh tier of the Qi Condensation Realm were the strongest of the core disciples .
"In the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, including the Five Elders and the Elder of Imparting Arts, there are close to 20 elders in total . They are our strongest force . Of course, now with the spiritual qi spring, we might have more than 50 in just a few decades, if things go well!
"These seniors in the Qi Condensation Realm support Elder Shentu, guarding the boundaries of the Valley of Immortal Fate . They prevent outsiders and demons from entering our territory . We can cultivate in peace all thanks to their protection . "
That was why Su Yanli held the utmost respect for them .
The three walked up . Mo Shishu was still easygoing, looking about and catcalling at pretty disciples . While Su Yanli brought Wu Yu to pay their respects to those few . "Su Yanli and Wu Yu pay their respects to Elder Shentu, and the other senior brothers and senior sisters . "
It was Elder Shentu who was sitting beside the river . He wore an old and tattered robe and an equally ragged cap on his head . He was scrawny and emaciated, his skin wrinkled . He looked very old . When he turned around, one could see his full head of white hair and rheumy eyes . One eye was blind . Fortunately, he was a very amicable person, and perennially held a smile . He seemed like an ordinary old man .
In the Qi Condensation Realm, one had a lifespan of about 200 years . If one failed to reach the Jindan Realm before one's lifespan ended, then the body would fail, the dao dissipating . This Elder Shentu had not yet managed to achieve Jindan, and his days were numbered .
Death was something that a majority of martial cultivators could not avoid .
Unless one became an immortal .
