The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 127 Jiuding
In a military base on the edge of Yujing Mountain.

Xie Tiandao, Yaoguang, Zong Yan, Kong Fang, Xie Yushu, Xie Yier, as well as several martial saints who had gone to Qi Sect decades ago and came back to return to their roots were all present.

……

"How come such a great sect is gone?"

"Qi Sect is one of the most powerful sects in the entire Cangwu Realm. How could it be..."

Xie Tiandao, Xie Yier and others had disappointment in their eyes.

In their minds, and in the minds of everyone, Qi Zong is a holy place for practice that they have longed for, and it is the most perfect sacred kingdom in their hearts.

The education and knowledge they received since childhood all depicted the power of the Qi Sect to the best of their ability.

That is……

Advanced representative.

A beacon of civilization.

Even though they had not been able to contact Qi Sect for decades and had previously learned relevant news from Leng Tianfeng, they had been more or less mentally prepared. But now when they heard these words in person from Xie Yushu, Zong Yan and others, they still felt distraught.

It was like something most important in my heart had collapsed.

"Our Qi Sect is famous throughout the world for its weapon refining skills. To some extent, it is equivalent to the most advanced military factory in our world. When the Moon Demon Empire invaded, the main target of attack was the Qi Sect. In addition, there is also the Dan Sect that can refine a large number of elixirs and continuously cultivate strong people, and the Shinto sect that can slightly fight against the Moon Demon - the Yangshen Sect."

Xie Yushu said in a deep voice: "At present... there are only six left of the ten most prestigious immortal sects. The Weapon Sect, the Pill Sect, the Yangshen Sect, and even the God and Demon Palace have all become a thing of the past."

Four of the ten great immortal sects were gone.

It seems that even though the Cangwu Realm defeated the Moon Demon Empire, it also paid a huge price.

"What is the current situation at Qi Sect? Also, our Xie family..."

Xie Tiandao couldn't help but ask.

"Xie family..."

A trace of pain flashed across Xie Yushu's eyes. "In the first round of attacks, the sky was on fire, the ocean evaporated, and the mountains and rivers collapsed... The city where our Xie family lived was right within the range of the Moon Demon's first attack... Except for a few scattered branches, no one was spared."

Xie Tiandao and Xie Yi's faces turned pale immediately.

Xie family, is it over?
Yaoguang glanced at a few people.

It’s hard to comfort her.

Even the Qi Sect is finished, let alone the Xie family.

"The Qi Sect no longer exists, but a new sect was established on the Qi Sect's original land, called the Jiuding Sect."

At this time, Ji Baichuan, the Hunyuan Martial Saint of the White Tower Federation, who came to return to his roots, said.

According to his introduction, he had some relationship with Ji Pingtian who did not return this time, and he was considered his uncle.

"The previous Qi Sect was extremely corrupt, with countless termites living inside. Countless local factions controlled the Qi Sect's path to success, leaving no room for outsiders like us to survive!"

The Primordial Martial Saint said in a loud voice: "The reason why they were destroyed by the attack of the Moon Demon Empire, instead of taking advantage of the situation like the Wuji Xing Palace, the Wanshou Sect, and the Immortal Alliance, is because their corruption has brought them to the brink of collapse. When the catastrophe came, no one thought about resisting the invaders of the Moon Demon Empire. Every force was digging at the foundation of the Weapon Sect to protect its own interests..."

He glanced at Yaoguang and said, "When such a force is faced with a disaster, if they don't perish, who will?"

Yaoguang glanced at him, then at Zong Yan.

Not only him, Xie Tiandao and Xie Yier also suppressed the sadness in their hearts and raised their heads.

"At the most dangerous time, the Qi Sect issued an order requiring all subordinate worlds to provide powerful spiritual treasures..."

Xie Yushu chose his words carefully.

But before he could finish his words, Zong Yan had already shaken his head: "Let me tell you."

He exhaled a little, "A hundred years ago, during the turbulent times, the Weapon Sect once demanded the sacrifice of all subordinate worlds to refine the strongest spiritual treasure to fight against the Moon Demon Empire... and shouted the slogan of "It is better to die in glory than to live in disgrace!"

"It is to sacrifice all the subordinate worlds, including peripheral forces, just to protect the interests of their most core group of people."

Ji Baichuan said coldly.

Zong Yan nodded: "In short, at the last moment, a large number of cultivators from affiliated forces like us united and forced the leader of the Weapon Sect to abdicate and establish a new Weapon Sect... But the new Weapon Sect only lasted for less than 20 years. The core figures of the Weapon Sect returned to their old ways and only allowed cultivators from affiliated forces to go to the battlefield while they hid behind the scenes..."

He took a breath and said, "At this time, the Moon Demon Empire was attacked and the resistance became more intense than ever before... In a state of internal and external discord, the Moon Demon Empire broke through the New Weapon Sect, and the Weapon Sect was destroyed... Less than ten years after the Weapon Sect was destroyed, the Moon Demon Empire was defeated... Those who were willing to resist the corruption and degeneration of the Weapon Sect reunited. They understood that they had to completely erase all traces of the Weapon Sect in order to bring a new life to this land. In the end, they founded the Nine Tripod Sect eighty years ago."

Yaoguang listened to what Zong Yan said but did not say anything.

Xie Tiandao, on the other hand, digested this information for a moment and couldn't help but look at Xie Yushu: "Then we went to the Weapon Sect... to the Cangwu Realm..."

"The Jiuding Sect has only been established for eighty years. Although it has acquired a lot of assets left by the Qi Sect, all walks of life are in need of reconstruction. It is the time to recruit people. Any knowledgeable person who joins the Jiuding Sect will be welcomed by the Jiuding Sect, especially the Jiuding Sect's leader Li Qingshan, who is extremely magnanimous and proposed the concept of autonomy, retaining its original name and having great autonomy and self-government..."

Ji Baichuan took the initiative to answer this question.

"It's a subsidiary sect."

Zong Yan’s essence was replenished.

Then he continued: "However, it is not easy to obtain this kind of power. The sect must have a great cultivator-level combat power."

Xie Yushu also nodded: "After all, the Jiuding Sect has only been established for 80 years, and its power is far inferior to that of the Qi Sect in its heyday. So far, the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the East Sea Islands south of the original Qi Sect have been controlled by other forces. It is in need of recruiting forces from all over the place to strengthen itself and completely recover the territory originally belonging to the Qi Sect. Therefore, the treatment given is also extraordinary."

Eighty years is equivalent to an average person's lifetime.

The situation is considered stable for a newly established country.

But for a spiritual practice force, it is too short.

"If Chairman Yaoguang and the others go to Cangwu, they have two choices. One... is to stay within the framework of the Jiuding Sect and observe before deciding whether to join. The other... is to go to the surrounding forces... There are three major sects in the surrounding area, namely the Great Sun Sword Sect, the Xinghai Sect, and the Shouyang Sect that was split into two."

Zong Yan said pertinently: "Among them, the strongest of the three sects is the Sun Sword Sect, and the weakest is the Sea of ​​Stars Sect. However, the Sea of ​​Stars Sect has the support of the Immortal Alliance, one of the six major immortal sects, and has greater potential. The remaining Shouyang Sect is stronger than the Sea of ​​Stars Sect and is backed by the world's largest sect, the Wuji Xinggong, but it is currently in the midst of a civil war and is not very stable."

"Zong Yan, there is one thing you seem to have forgotten to mention. Although the Moon Demon Empire was defeated, many small forces have infiltrated the surrounding worlds. They have replaced local creatures through various means such as 'descending' and 'taking over', lurking and secretly infiltrating the major immortal sects in the Cangwu Realm, causing great harm to them."

Ji Baichuan said: "At present, many sects are extremely wary of cultivators from the surrounding world, and have even directly cut off contact with the surrounding world. Occasionally, someone will be able to join those immortal sects, but they will be rejected. If they want to hold a high position in the future, it will be much more difficult than for Cangwu native cultivators."

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest and said, "But our Sect Master Li has a broad mind that tolerates everything, and anyone who can pass the Demon Appraisal Platform can join the sect and enjoy equal treatment. Those with talent and potential will soon be able to stand out and rise to prominence. Master Meng is the best example. Your Excellency Yaoguang's achievements are even better than Master Meng's. If you can pass the Demon Appraisal Platform and enter the Jiuding Sect, you may even be able to become a true disciple of the sect."

"Demon Appraisal Platform?"

Yaoguang asked.

"This is a place that all living beings from the surrounding worlds must visit when they enter the Cangwu Realm. It is a treasure specially made by important figures to prevent moon demons from taking over other people's bodies and sneaking into them. Even if the moon demons hide deeply, as long as their souls are not human in nature, they will be exposed on the Demon Appraisal Platform."

Ji Baichuan said in a deep voice.

After saying this, Xie Yushu secretly glanced at Yaoguang.

However, Yaoguang did not say anything.

He is a pure human being inside and out.

but……

He glanced at the few people who had returned from Cangwu Realm.

Everyone has his or her own stance in what he or she says.

Xie Yushu obviously had Qi Zong in his heart, and basically said good things about Qi Zong.

Zong Yan's description is more pertinent.

As for Ji Baichuan...

It is estimated that the members of Jiuding Sect came here under the pretext of retiring and returning to their roots just to recruit them to this world.

"It doesn't matter. The Star Gate maintenance takes half a year, and the coordinate calibration also takes half a year. We have a year to fully understand the situation over there."

Yaoguang Road.

Xie Tiandao and others also nodded.

Xie family...

I also need to think carefully about my attitude towards Yaoguang in the future.

Having lost their backer, they urgently need to find another one.

Compared to other forces...

Yaoguang, who has unlimited potential and a high hope of becoming a great monk in the future, is obviously the best choice.

The premise is...

He can use the Demon Appraisal Platform to verify that he is indeed a human being.

For the next period of time, both sides stayed here for half a month.

In half a month, Yaoguang learned about the Cangwu Realm and the Weapon Sect in detail...

Or the specific situation of the Cangwu Realm.

After a three-way comparison, he had to admit one problem: those sects with some power, deep foundation, and no shortage of disciples were somewhat wary and repulsive to the practitioners from the outside world.

Even if they passed the Demon Appraisal Platform, who could guarantee that he was not trained by the Moon Demon?
On the contrary, those sects that are smaller in scale and have weaker foundations teach everyone without discrimination.

But when they recruit disciples and followers, they basically train them as cannon fodder to strengthen their own strength.

In comparison, the Jiuding Sect, which has a lot of work to do and needs talent and materials everywhere, is indeed the best choice.

First, Li Qingshan, the leader of the Jiuding Sect, has a broad mind and vision and courage far beyond ordinary people.

Two things...

After all, the Jiuding Sect was established on the basis of the Qi Sect.

One of the ten great immortal sects, with amazing background.

Third...

Very close.

Beyond the star gate is the Jiuding Sect.
