Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards
Chapter 478 - 270: Two Sects Allied? Nothing But Paper Tigers
And if he can take advantage of this opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Late Stage Great True Monarch, then even the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect with its Dual Nascent Souls would be completely negligible.
Therefore, this time we must give it our all.
"Good, in that case, let our two sects issue a Supreme Elder Order simultaneously, form an alliance, and move forward and retreat together, abandoning the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect!"
"Excellent!"
...
The next day, at the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, in the Myriad Flowers Hall.
"These two sects are really causing quite a stir!" Qi Chuan said with a touch of exasperation after listening to Qingyun True Monarch.
Qi Chuan didn’t expect that after the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect clearly stated it would not participate in the alliance, Cangjian Pavilion and the Yin Yang Mansion would still come together immediately to form a two-sect alliance.
On the surface, this two-sect alliance is indeed quite powerful. Both Cangjian True Monarch and the True Monarch of Yin and Yang are skilled Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, and their combination should not be underestimated.
At least on the surface, one Nascent Soul Middle Stage and one Nascent Soul Early Stage from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect cannot compare with this two-sect alliance.
Yet, despite this, Qi Chuan still wants to say:
Can’t they be content!
Why can’t I just focus on breaking through?
They have to stir up trouble outside, which makes me frequently come to the Myriad Flowers Hall to discuss matters, disrupting my cultivation rhythm. Plus, such a big matter concerns the safety of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, so it’s not good if I don’t come.
"Indeed, these two sects have become quite bold." Qingyun True Monarch also frowned this time.
Although it’s said that the alliance between Cangjian Pavilion and the Yin Yang Mansion can never be completely solid, their combined strength is now far surpassing Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect’s many and even significantly more, which poses a relatively big threat to the sect.
At this time, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect’s attitude and response to the two-sect alliance is critical and will directly affect how the situation in Beihua State will unfold in the future.
We must be cautious at this point because if we’re not careful, we could drag the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect into the flames of war.
"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, what do you think of this two-sect alliance?" After some thought, Qingyun True Monarch prepared to hear Qi Chuan’s thoughts, which was also the main reason he invited Qi Chuan to the Myriad Flowers Hall to discuss.
"In my opinion, they are nothing more than a rabble." Qi Chuan said.
Frankly, he now really doesn’t want to bother with these matters and just wants to advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage as soon as possible, which is the most important task for him.
As for other matters, regardless of how big of a mess it is, as long as there’s no threat, in Qi Chuan’s eyes, it is as if nothing happened.
"A rabble?"
Hearing Qi Chuan’s words, Qingyun True Monarch couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, very surprised that Qi Chuan would evaluate the two-sect alliance this way.
Even now, without considering Core Formation combat strength or the number of disciples, merely Cangjian True Monarch and the True Monarch of Yin and Yang as Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators are enough to make people wary.
And as for the future, if the two-sect alliance obtains some extremely valuable resources amidst the chaos, they might very well reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage Great True Monarch Realm.
And once a Great True Monarch emerges, it wouldn’t be easy to handle, even if by then Qi Chuan advances to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect’s Dual Nascent Souls in the Middle Stage won’t have it easy to deal with.
With this in mind, Qingyun True Monarch immediately shared his concerns with Qi Chuan.
After listening, however, Qi Chuan’s expression did not change much; he merely reassured Qingyun True Monarch.
"Senior Brother Qingyun, first of all, the current two-sect alliance poses no threat to our Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. Their apparent strength exceeds ours, but they would not dare to engage the full force of both sects against the Immortal Sect because doing so would incur grave losses for them as well."
"And shortly, I will advance to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. By then, our Dual Nascent Souls in the Middle Stage will not fear them even in a direct confrontation."
"As for the so-called Great True Monarch, there’s no need to worry, because even presuming they manage it, my advancement speed will definitely be faster than theirs!"
Qi Chuan spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, and his tone was very calm.
However, within it, there was an undeniable confidence.
Upon hearing Qi Chuan’s words, Qingyun True Monarch’s eyes brightened a little.
"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, you are not only very close to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."
"But also confident to advance to the Great True Monarch Realm faster than them?"
Qi Chuan nodded again.
With Qi Chuan’s confirmation again, Qingyun True Monarch was completely at ease, and at the same time, more expectations grew in his heart for Qi Chuan.
He knew that Qi Chuan never spoke boastfully; every word, regardless of its seeming difficulty, could be fulfilled.
Since Qi Chuan said this, he naturally had the confidence to accomplish it.
If what Qi Chuan said is true, then the matter of the Cangjian Pavilion and the Yin Yang Mansion’s two-sect alliance indeed doesn’t warrant much worry.
The Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect merely needs to wait for Qi Chuan to grow steadily.
"Then, I won’t take more countermeasures against this two-sect alliance, just instructing our people to keep an eye on the movements of the two sects daily." Qingyun True Monarch said.
Qi Chuan naturally nodded in agreement.
Afterward, the two discussed some more matters, and then Qi Chuan took the initiative to bid farewell to Qingyun True Monarch and said, "Senior Brother Qingyun, I will return to cultivate now, as for the affairs of Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion, you handle them directly."
"Alright." Hearing this, Qingyun True Monarch nodded.
Looking at Qi Chuan’s departing figure, he murmured inwardly, "It seems Junior Brother Qi Chuan is indeed very close to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, ready to immerse himself fully in cultivation, though I wonder how many years will it take for Junior Brother Qi Chuan to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage? Will ten years be enough? It seems a bit too short..."
In fact, even adding another twenty or thirty years, it would still seem fast in Qingyun True Monarch’s view.
Altogether, how many years have passed since Qi Chuan advanced to the Nascent Soul Early Stage?
"Never mind, I won’t dwell on it, I will simply wait patiently, since junior brother Qi Chuan said it, it certainly won’t be too long..."
...
After returning to his Tier Four Lower Grade Cave Mansion, Qi Chuan completely put the matter of the two-sect alliance between Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion out of his mind.
In his view, as long as there isn’t a Great True Monarch, there’s really no need to worry about alliances of two or three Nascent Soul influences.
He closed his eyes and relaxed, and after regaining his mental tranquility, he continued to immerse himself in amassing Inspiration Opportunity rhythmically.
Initially, his Inspiration Opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage was already nearing Perfection.
Thus, under his efforts, after merely four months, when one day he completed running the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, a line of words appeared before him.
[You fully executed the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique for one Grand Circulation, attempting to capture the Inspiration Opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm, triggered a Hundredfold Critical Strike, gained a hundredfold gain, successfully capturing a trace of Inspiration Opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm, your Inspiration Opportunity has reached Perfection.]
With the appearance of the words, that profound feeling in Qi Chuan’s heart had reached its peak.
At that instant, Qi Chuan suddenly felt a sense of Perfection in his heart.
Then, the urge to advance welled up passionately from his heart.
"Finally, it’s Perfection."
Feeling this change, Qi Chuan’s eyes were also filled with joy.
For the sake of this Perfection Inspiration Opportunity, he has worked hard for many years and finally achieved it today.
"Since it’s Perfection, then, let’s break through!" Qi Chuan muttered to himself.
Then, without making too many preparations,
he maximized the Spiritual Qi of the Tier Four Lower Grade Cave Mansion, took out the Mysterious Stone Talisman, and consumed a Tier Four Lower Grade Elixir, then immediately began to attack the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
