Chapter 232 I Can Bear It
"Brother Jin Xing is exceptionally gifted in formations and has developed the [Five Elements Tai Chi Bagua Formation]. Without the intervention of a late Nascent Soul cultivator, the Five Elements Sect would be impossible to break. My guess was correct."
Xuan Kun said calmly, "Is that so? Then, do the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, the superior sect of the Hehuan Sect, and the Wanjian Divine Sect, the superior sect of your Jiandao Sect, have any Nascent Soul cultivators or those in the early stages of the Divine Transformation stage stationed in Tianhuai Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, the old man in Taoist robes frowned, thinking to himself, "How does he know that the superior of our Sword Dao Sect is the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect? Also, why is he asking this? Is he going to fight with me, or discuss the Dao?"
He was thinking this in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He quickly replied, "This, I don't know! I'm just an elder in the early stage of Jindan. I can't know these secrets of the sect."
After hearing this, Xuan Kun thought about it and nodded. He then asked again, "After the Five Elements Sect was wiped out, how much territory did the Hehuan Sect and the Jiandao Sect each occupy?"
The old man in Taoist robe was suddenly speechless. He looked at the ground and blinked continuously. The expression on his face was extremely nervous and his mind was full of thoughts.
"This person~, this person couldn't have some connection with the Five Elements Sect, could he? Now that he's come back and learned that the Five Elements Sect has been destroyed, does he want to seek revenge?"
He answered cautiously.
"The Hehuan Sect and the Jiandao Sect split 60-40, with the Hehuan Sect splitting 60-60 and the Jiandao Sect splitting 40-40."
After he finished speaking, he broke out in a sweat and was shaking all over, obviously afraid. Xuan Kun suddenly attacked and killed him with one palm. After all, he was also a member of the Sword Dao Sect and an elder.
After waiting for a long time without any results, he cautiously looked up, only to find that the person in front of him seemed to be lost in thought, but his eyes seemed to be staring at him, like a chick being stared at by a giant eagle.
Xuan Kun didn't know what he was thinking, and thought to himself.
"The Sword Dao Sect, which didn't make a move, also took four points. The Five Elements Sect, which was captured by the He Huan Sect, seems to be a game between the two major sects, or a conspiracy to gain mutual benefits."
"Right now, the most dangerous thing is, I don't know if the Yin-Yang Divine Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect have left any cultivators stationed in Tianhuai Country. If I encounter a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape."
"Even with the Infant-Exterminating Pearl, to deal with a late Nascent Soul cultivator, only the effect of surprise can injure him. Otherwise, with the cultivator's strength and means, it would be difficult to injure him easily."
After thinking about it, Xuan Kun looked at the person in front of him, sneered, and thought to himself.
"Since thirty-two years have passed and nothing has changed in Tianhuai Country, let's get rid of this guy and then go deep into the heart of Tianhuai Country and into the territory of Hehuan Sect to check the situation."
The old man in Taoist robe felt a little uncomfortable all the time, and couldn't help but look up again cautiously, only to see Xuan Kun sneering at him at this moment.
The uneasiness in his heart suddenly magnified infinitely, his eyes widened, and he was about to beg for mercy again, but he found that he could not make a sound no matter what.
The person in front of him raised a big hand and grabbed towards him, but he was unable to move at all. He could only be pressed directly on the forehead by the person. Suddenly, his eyes went black and he fainted.
After a while, Xuan Kun raised his hand, looked at the old man in Taoist robe who fell to the ground, smiled slightly, and said to himself.
"Oh, you're so scared, do you still have a lot of life left? It seems you're afraid of death too. But I won't kill you. I won't alert the enemy and expose myself. I, Xuan Kun, won't do that. You're lucky. I also happen to know this technique: soul-searching and memory-erasing."
As he spoke, Xuan Kun waved his hand, and three-colored spiritual power flew out, pulling up the Taoist robed old man who was lying on the ground, and made him sit cross-legged in the previous place again, just like when he was practicing before. The Nascent Soul consciousness scanned the various items in the room again, and found nothing unusual, and restored all the cracks on the ground.
Seeing this, Xuan Kun said to himself, "This way, I can rest assured."
As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible barrier outside the room dissipated, and Xuan Kun's body also disappeared in the room, and his whereabouts were unknown.
Not long after, the old man in Taoist robes woke up in shock, frowned, looked around, and released his spiritual sense in the early stage of Jindan, but found nothing.
I couldn't help but wonder, "Hmm! I fell asleep! After hundreds of years, I actually fell asleep like a mortal today!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together, and he sighed and lamented.
"Alas! It seems I've been too tired recently. I haven't slept for hundreds of years. I didn't expect to experience it again today. It's really great!"
He naturally would not have thought that in this remote border between the two countries, where even Foundation Establishment cultivators were rare, how could he have imagined that a Nascent Soul cultivator would appear? After all, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in Tianhuai Kingdom could be counted on one hand.
……
Two days later, Xuan Kun headed westward and entered the former sphere of influence of the Five Elements Sect, which has now become the territory of the Sword Dao Sect.
There is a city ahead, named Luoye City, which was the border between the former Five Elements Sect and the Sword Dao Sect. Now there is no trace of the Five Elements Sect.
Although the city is not big, it has a population of nearly 10 million. There are many immortal cultivation forces in the city. They were originally vassals of the Five Elements Sect, and now they have become vassals of the Sword Sect.
After all, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits, and the ones who know the times are heroes. Only by living can we have the opportunity to continue the inheritance, and only by existing can we have a chance to reach the top.
Xuan Kun stood in the air and returned to the territory of the Five Elements Sect. Although the Five Elements Sect was no longer there, Xuan Kun felt like he was returning home.
Looking at the Fallen Leaf City below, where he had been many times, he couldn't help but recall the scenes of his cultivation and training on this land for more than four hundred years.
Every little bit of experience with my fellow brothers and sisters in the sect is still vivid in my mind and will linger for a long time.
Thirty-two years have passed, and Luoye City has not changed at all. It seems that in the years it has experienced, thirty-two years have been just a blink of an eye, and the Five Elements Sect is just a passing force in the passage of time.
But this is just another cycle that Xuan Kun has experienced.
Xuan Kun couldn't help but come back from the beautiful yet painful memories and spoke.
"Five Elements Sect, I'm back, but you're nowhere to be seen. Luoye City, the border city with the Sword Dao Sect, is no longer a border town. It has become the territory of the Sword Dao Sect."
"Hehuan Sect! Hehuan Sect, with the support of the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, you are truly formidable! In this world of immortal cultivation, strength is truly respected. Cultivation resources are limited, and tragedies of small sects being wiped out happen all the time."
Then Xuan Kun looked up at the sky. The sky was so blue, as if it was the same sky thirty-two years ago when the Five Elements Sect was in charge.
"The sky hasn't changed, but the mortals and cultivators below have. This is the way of heaven: the strong prey on the weak, and when people leave, the tea gets cold."
Then, Xuan Kun's eyes narrowed, he sneered twice, and said in a cold voice.
"Haha, then I am a Yuanying cultivator, without any sect or school, without any worries or ties."
"You... these powerful forces... can... endure it."
