Chapter 992: The Great Void Sect Is No Longer the First Choice
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Among the four from the Great Void Sect, apart from the Intermediate Nascent Soul Dan Xiang, the other three were all Advanced Aurous Core cultivation . Although there were differences between observed age and actual age, none of them were particularly old .
Looking at them, Yang Tie asked, "Friends, what are your plans for now?"
Dan Xiang and the others scanned the surroundings, and then looked at Yang Tie and co . "You are going to open up a path and explore outwards?"
Yang Tie nodded calmly . "That's right . "
Dan Xiang and the other three met each other's gazes for a moment . Pensively, Dan Xiang spoke again . "The direction you are heading in now is where we were separated from Elder Cai and the others . We wish to reunite with our Sect elders as soon as possible, so we hope that we can travel ahead together with you…"
Hearing these words, a peculiar look came across all of the Celestial Sect of Wonders party's faces as they smiled slightly, causing Dan Xiang and co . to be baffled as well as slightly irritated .
It used to be that wherever they go, they would take over the leadership of their party without question .
Especially since Dan Xiang was the only Nascent Soul cultivator among those present; however, facing Tang Jun and other Celestial Sect of Wonders disciples, it was inappropriate for them to do this .
The relations between the two sides were not really harmonious, and Tang Jun and co . weren't here on their own either . One look at the Four Appearances Sky Formation they were in now, and tone could tell that Tang Jun, Yang Tie and the others have not strayed from Zhu Yi and the rest . Now, they were all under the protection of Zhu Yi, Li Yuanfang and co .
Unlike Mount Shu disciples, who were commonly caustic and intractable, Great Void Sect disciples were mostly well mannered, as well as being far more mild and gentle in their ways . However, in reality, the pride in their hearts was only stronger than that of the Mount Shu disciples .
It's just that the outward appearance of this pride was rather special, such that it was easy to cause others to have to wrong impression .
Their pride was not disdain, not insolence, not arrogance . In contrast, it was being unassuming, it was politeness and patience .
It was a deep-rooted sense of superiority; because your level was so far away from mine, I will tolerate your ignorance and clumsiness, and not sink to your level .
Just like how a human would not be angered by the provocations of an ant, or try to demonstrate his superiority or strength to one .
Since the Modern Age, whenever Great Void Sect disciples walked in the outside world, even when they faced Mount Shu Sword Sect cultivators of similar level, or when they used to face the Buddhist disciples of the Great Thunderclap Temple, this psychological high ground was always present .
However, today, when they faced Celestial Sect of Wonders disciples, this psychological high ground had already been gradually crumbling .
Even without mention of the score for skirmishes between the top echelons of the two, solely for the younger generation disciples category, the Great Void Sect had never had the advantage when facing the Celestial Sect of Wonders .
In Xiling City, in the battle of fates between the two Shis in the Dragon Battle Arena, the Nascent Soul Shi Tianyi was slain by the then-Aurous Core Shi Tianhao .
Before the battle of the two Shis, the Advanced Aurous Core Great Void Sect disciple Bai Xiqian was felled by the spear of the then-Beginner Aurous Core Yue Hongyan, being crippled outright .
During the Spiritual Conference of the Kunlun Mountains of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Chen Xingyu - the Great Void Sect's up-and-coming talent, one of the finest masters of the younger generation – was already Aurous Core stage then . Although he was lowered to Advanced Foundation Establishment by the Celestial Sect of Wonders' Dharma Hall, he was still stronger than when he was originally at Advanced Foundation Establishment .
However, even so, Chen Xingyu was still defeated by the Celestial Sect of Wonders second-generation successive disciple, Zhou Yuncong, who was Advanced Foundation Establishment as well then . The Yin-Terminating, ultimately, fell to the Yang-Incinerating .
One did not even need to go too far back – there was an example right there .
Not long ago, the Advanced Aurous Core Wan Zhenglun had just been defeated by the Intermediate Aurous Core Liu Xiafeng, adding another notch to the scoreboard for the Celestial Sect of Wonders disciples .
Today, although the overall strength of the Great Void Sect was still supreme in the Divine Lands, but in terms of the performance of younger-generation disciples, it was already being gradually surpassed by the Celestial Sect of Wonders . The name of the First Holy Land was already shaky .
Each power in the Divine Lands had its own sphere of influence; in the surrounding areas, it had the absolute advantage when selecting talents and disciples . Once those with potential show themselves, they will be inducted into the Sect .
The major powers would also frequently venture out to seek talents, to prevent those with potential from falling through the cracks .
Meanwhile, the young men and women who lived in the mortal world, but long for the Way of cultivation would also yearn for the great powers whose names and stories they have been hearing from infancy .
However, there was an exception . The Three Great Holy Land of the old days – the Great Void Sect, the Mount Shu Sword Sect, and the Great Thunderclap Temple .
Their sphere of influence radiated outwards to cover the entire Divine Lands . When selecting talents, they were doing so from the pool of the entire human world; every single person who sought the Way of cultivation longed for them, wishing that they could one day be inducted into their Sects .
Among them, the most influential was the Great Void Sect, being way stronger than that of the Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Great Thunderclap Temple . Every young talent, as well as their families, who was accepted by the Great Void Sect would regard it as an enormous honor .
At the same time, because the Great Void Sect took the elite, quality-oriented approach when selecting disciples and the threshold for entry was ridiculously high, the test of time had proved that the disciples it accepted were all incredibly talented cultivators of great potential . Therefore, in the eyes of many teenagers, being accepted by the Great Void Sect in itself was a sort of affirmation of themselves .
