Chapter 507: Chapter 358: The Extinct Magic Beasts! The Despair of the Great Xia Cultivators

[The Seven-Star Obscure Spirit Grass is relatively common, but that’s just relative. In this Cultivation Era where Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects and Foundation Establishment Pills are exceedingly rare, a vast amount of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects is like a huge bomb!]

[The Hundred Stars Alliance could not possibly stop this news.]

[Once the news spread, the entire Qu Hong Cultivation Realm was in an uproar.]

Don’t be deceived by the apparent abundance of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Three Clouds Market.

But compared to the Qi Refining Cultivators, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators is pitifully low.

In fact, in those large cities where mortals and immortals are mixed, having even one or two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators is enough to make a city famous far and wide.

The Three Clouds Market is indeed evolving towards becoming a true City of Cultivation like the Three Cloud City.

In fact, the Three Clouds Market is already the most prosperous cultivation place for tens of thousands of miles around.

Other places are large cities where mortals and immortals mix, serving as bases for ordinary loose cultivators.

How many people are troubled by the lack of Foundation Establishment Pills.

Not to mention Foundation Establishment Pills, even Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects are hard to find!

Do you not see that the finale items of those famous auction houses are often Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects?

As for Foundation Establishment Pills, perhaps only the Nine Sects can supply them stably.

Numerous cultivators flocked to the Hundred Stars Alliance demanding that they open the Secret Realm.

What demons? Don’t frighten people like that; those are bundles of Seven-Star Obscure Spirit Grass.

Don’t mention it, Zhong Heng originally wanted to hide in the Secret Realm to lower his fame, but unexpectedly, the word got out that the ’secret’ was discovered by Master Zhong.

Various conspiracy theories emerged.

Some said the alliance deliberately concealed it.

Claiming the higher-ups didn’t want loose cultivators to survive.

The halo on Zhong Heng grew even stronger, and his reputation soared instead.

The Qu Hong Cultivation Realm was in total uproar.

The Nine Sects couldn’t sit idle either.

[The alliance is essentially a loose organization, with quite a few members coming from the Nine Sects.]

[The Nine Sects were the first to get wind of this news.]

[Each of the Nine Sects sent a True Master, and the nine True Masters gathered at the Hundred Stars Alliance, making the Alliance Leader sweat profusely, and he hastily agreed to share the Secret Realm.] 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

[The only condition was to protect the magical inheritance within and ensure that entrants couldn’t plunder the alliance’s Spirit Stone properties.]

[In the face of so many Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, the True Masters didn’t care much about Spirit Stones anymore.]

[Meanwhile, Dong Jing, the Alliance Leader of the Independent Cultivator Alliance, entered the scene, actively vying for rights for the loose cultivators. The Nine Sects initially wanted to monopolize these benefits, but due to the sheer number of loose cultivators, they had to back down.]

[The news of the alliance voluntarily opening the Secret Realm spread throughout the entire Qu Hong Cultivation Realm.]

[As a result, countless cultivators resembling rabid dogs surged into the Great Xia Secret Realm.]

[Countless cultivators yearned for that slim chance of Foundation Establishment, even Foundation Establishment True Cultivators had disciples, descendants, and relatives who hadn’t achieved Foundation Establishment yet.]

On that day.

The Great Xia Cultivators observing in secret were astounded.

From the base of the Hundred Stars Alliance, a large number of figures suddenly emerged.

These individuals were all skilled in magic battles, proficient in magic and magical artifacts.

A demon insect was just pursuing the alliance’s cultivators when suddenly, shadows enveloped it.

The clueless little insect raised its tiny head, only to see seven or eight burly men grinning hideously at it...

Far away in the Land of the Far North, the Supreme Demon Insect lay atop the snowy mountain, gazing curiously into the distance.

Why were its offspring howling?

The insect’s face displayed an anthropomorphic anger.

But in the next second, nine streaks of flowing light rushed over.

The little insect had the effects of a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.

What about the big insect then?

Core Formation Spiritual Object?

The key to the sects lies in the Golden Core.

Among the Nine Sects, those with good foundations can maintain at least two True Masters per era, and even better ones may have four True Masters.

Those with poorer foundations have only one direct transmission, where each lineage’s True Masters worry over inheritance issues.

Worse still, like the Seven Extremes Sect, the Golden Core was cut off and divided among other sects.

The importance of Core Formation Spiritual Objects to the Seven Sects is self-evident.

Moreover...

Everyone harbored a sliver of hope in their hearts.

What if, what if the big insect possessed effects similar to a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object?!

Nascent Soul!

That was no longer just a sect’s concern but the key to elevating the entire Qu Hong Cultivation Realm to a large-scale cultivation realm.

Moreover, a Nascent Soul Venerable, that’s truly an Immortal walking on land, a Land Immortal.

All nine True Masters were thrilled, frenzied as they headed towards the big insect...

The exalted True Masters were like wolves hungry for blood.

[Cultivators surged into this world like rabid dogs.]

[Luckily, whether due to your renowned status or perhaps the suppression by the Hundred Stars Alliance, the cultivators didn’t destroy the setup of the Hundred Stars Alliance here.]

[The demon insects originally causing the alliance such stress were nearly extinct.]

[The Great Xia Cultivators were dumbfounded; they witnessed the real power of the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm as recounted by alliance cultivators.]

[When they were despairing, you appeared before them with Lin Wui.]

[The injured Heaven and Earth Mage and the remaining seven or eight Pseudo Core powerhouses watched you and Lin Wui, yet you remained unfazed.]

[Your slender fingers danced, array patterns floated, and behind you began appearing the holy beast phantoms of Vermilion Bird, Cyan Dragon, Black Tortoise, and even an imaginary Golden Qilin absent from the Four Holy Beasts.]

[Everyone present was bewildered in place...]

"Holy beast..."

"How could it be, holy beast phantoms..."

"You, it’s not possible! Outer Celestial Demons cannot receive the favor of holy beasts!"

A Pseudo Core powerhouse was about to strike but was forcibly held back by the Heaven and Earth Mage.

"What Outer Celestial Demons, we are not Outer Celestial Demons!" Lin Wui angrily retorted.

"It’s you! Witch!" Someone else seemed to recognize the spiritual objects, their eyes turning red instantly.

"Enough!" The Heaven and Earth Mage shouted angrily, stopping his companion.

The Heaven and Earth Mage, with long robes and a calm, gentle demeanor, seemed like an elder of great virtue and prestige.

Yet if judged by appearance alone, it was impossible to tell that this gentle old man was the guardian, the strongest being of this small world.

"Indeed, there’s nothing about Outer Celestial Demons involved, you all come from the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm as well..."

"You!" The Heaven and Earth Mage restrained his companion again.

"Aren’t you about to talk about Jiuzhou."

Perhaps it was due to the phantoms of the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts in Zhong Heng’s hand.

The Heaven and Earth Mage’s Nascent Soul listened as Zhong Heng recounted.

Zhong Heng began narrating the legendary tales of Jiuzhou.

It was initially narrated by Zhong Heng to Lin Wui.

Zhong Heng stood before numerous Secret Realm powerhouses, commencing the story of Jiuzhou...

[You once created the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array, subsequently studied arrays.]

[You discovered that a few of the Great Xia World’s magic contained traces of arrays.]

[Upon investigation, you found these arrays stemmed from a comprehension developed by observing the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts.]

[You became increasingly certain the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts mentioned by the Great Xia were indeed part of an array, and the Supreme Demon was likely suppressed by an array.]

[You collected a large quantity of these magical skills with the assistance of the Hundred Stars Alliance.]

[You utilized the River Map inference ability to help you, spending nearly a month, barely managing to decipher a small fraction of arrays, just enough to arrange into a Micro Array, thereby evolving the phantoms of the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts.]

[The Great Xia Cultivators were stunned by the power of the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm, seizing the opportunity, you stepped forward intending to uncover the truth of this world.]

[The strong figures present were shocked silent by your words, yet their hatred towards the alliance remained.]

[But the spark must be preserved, you advised them, and perhaps the magical skills of Great Xia could become a special Magic Cultivator sect within Jiuzhou.]

[The Heaven and Earth Mage felt conflicted, but to preserve the spark seed, he eventually agreed to compromise, realizing it was the formidable power of the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm that truly despaired this small secret world.]

[Seizing the opportunity, you produced the hairpin containing the Qi of the Five Elements, inquiring about its origins...]
