After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 210 The Foundation of the Five Sects
In this vast and desolate land, the Five Sects are recognized as the five strongest forces.

What are the Five Schools?

One is called the 'Netherworld Sect', also known as the Evil Sect, located in the western border of the Barbarian Frontier.

The second is called 'Yuanchu Mountain', also known as the Demon Sect, located in the northern border of the barbarian lands.

The third is the "Spring and Autumn Alliance," also known as the Poison Sect, located in the southern border of the Barbarian Frontier.

The fourth is the 'Ghost King Sect,' also known as the Ghost Sect, located in the eastern border of the barbarian lands.

The fifth is the 'Ten Thousand Swords Sect', also known as the Immortal Sect, located in the heart of the barbarian lands.

In this barbaric land, the five strongest sects are——

Immortals, demons, evil, poison, ghosts!

Qi Sheng initially joined the Netherworld Sect, which was only considered "evil" in nature, being both righteous and wicked, hence it was known as the "evil sect," which was already quite good.

Also.

Mozong Yuanchu Mountain.

The Poison Sect's Spring and Autumn Alliance.

Ghost Sect, Ghost King Sect.

These three are the real demon cultivators!
What a heinous crime!

Too many to write!

"A gathering is like a pile of loose sand."

"San is extremely evil."

The entire atmosphere of the Barbarian Frontier was corrupted by these three sects. The Netherworld Sect had no sense of good and evil and was not a good sect. As for the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect," which was known as the "Immortal Sect," it occupied the heart of the Barbarian Frontier and upheld the righteous path, but it only cared about its own little territory and could not manage other places.

Furthermore.

The so-called righteous path of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is actually just one more rule than the other four sects: disciples and followers are not allowed to harm mortals or kill innocent people. The standard is extremely low, but this is already a moral model for the barbarian frontier, truly remaining untainted by the mud.

The three demons were extremely vicious and wicked.

One is evil, yet also righteous.

One immortal upholds the righteous path.

These are the five schools.

These five sects, regardless of good or evil, have been able to stand tall in the barbarian lands not only because of their extremely strong foundation and numerous disciples of varying ranks, but most importantly because—

"Grand Ancestor!"

……

"The Five Supreme Masters possess great supernatural powers."

"They either cultivate profound arts and techniques, or wield mysterious artifacts and treasures."

"His combat power is unparalleled in the wilderness, ranking above the peak, and he can be called invincible."

Chen Qingfeng first explained to Qi Sheng what the concept of the Five Supreme Ancestors was—

Mystic Arts/Mystic Treasures

This is the Supreme Being.

This is invincible.

Qi Sheng was quite surprised when he heard this.

He was confident that he was no less skilled in magic. His main technique, the "Eight Forms of Sorrowful Clouds," was a secret technique on its own, and when the eight forms were combined into the "Sorrowful Clouds Sword Manual," it could be considered a profound technique.

But today—

【Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique——】

[Step 1: Perfection; Grand Mastery: Eight Swords Combined]

[Step Two: Perfection; Ultimate Skill: Great Thunderclap Sword]

【Step 3: Getting Started (333/30000)】(+)

……

The exquisite and powerful nature of the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Manual" is beyond doubt. Its first step, from practicing the eight forms individually to combining the eight swords, can elevate a person's strength to its peak.

among them--

Once a certain technique is mastered to the fourth level, one can become a master.

Reaching the seventh level of cultivation elevates one to the second tier of mastery. With a matching mid-level weapon, one can further advance to the fourth tier.

Further on, once one masters a single move and comprehends the ultimate swordsmanship, one starts at the top level of the fifth tier. With the 'Sorrowful Cloud Sword' in hand, one can barely reach the pinnacle, which is the sixth tier.

Further on——

Once all eight techniques have reached perfection, and the eight techniques are combined into one, the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique" is officially created. After comprehending the "Eight Swords Combined," one can barely be considered among the top masters.

At this point, each of the eight forms of "Sorrowful Clouds" has reached its peak. However, for the "Sorrowful Clouds Sword Manual" which combines all eight forms, it is only the beginning; the "combination of the eight forms" is merely the first step.

later--

The second step is to combine the two techniques, achieving a fusion of their ultimate forms.

The third step is to combine the three techniques, achieving a fusion of the three sword skills at their ultimate level.

Step four, ...

Step 5, ...

Until the eighth step, the eight styles are combined, integrating all eight sword techniques learned in the early stages of the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Manual" to achieve the highest level.

"At that time."

"With the Eight Swords in hand, I might be able to barely fight against the Invincible Supreme."

But it's still unlikely to be as good as—

The "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique" can be considered a wonderful technique, but it is still a whole level below "mystical arts".

Even the combined 'Eight Swords of Sorrowful Clouds' can only be considered a high-level Earthly Fiend Magic Weapon, still far from being a Mystic Weapon.

In other words, even if Qi Sheng mastered the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Technique" to the eighth step of its ultimate form, it would only be a "perfected technique + high-level weapon".

The Supreme Ancestor of the Five Sects, known as Invincible, possesses an invincible combination of 'mystical arts/mystical weapons' and even 'mystical arts + mystical weapons'.

"If I master all four sword techniques—'Sorrowful Clouds,' 'Gloomy Mist,' 'Sad Wind,' and 'Bitter Rain'—and then refine the thirty-two swords, I will surely be able to reach the invincible level."

Being invincible is the loneliest thing.

Being invincible is also the hardest thing to do.

Qi Sheng felt awe and reverence just thinking about it.

peak?

For top-tier masters, those at the peak are far superior.

However, compared to the invincible realm, it is as weak as a child.

Life-long learning!

The law has no limits!

'I'm still far from reaching the pinnacle of combat power in the Barbarian Frontier.'

Qi Sheng gained a more thorough understanding of his own strength, and subsequently, a deeper understanding of the foundation of the five sects of the Barbarian Frontier.

……

"Of the five sects of the barbarian frontier, taking the Netherworld Sect as an example, there are a total of eight invincible figures who have been active in the sect in recent years, known as the 'Three Venerables' and the 'Five Emperors'."

"Three of them cultivated immortality and possessed great supernatural powers."

"The Five Emperors cultivated martial arts, battling against heaven and earth."

Chen Qingfeng looked at Qi Sheng: "If Young Hero Qi can completely refine the Ze Ding, he can also join the ranks of the invincible. However, the difficulty of refining a Xuan weapon is something you must have deeply experienced. It may not be as simple as cultivating a Xuan technique."

That side.

The Iron-Blooded Ancestor laughed and said, "In the Netherworld Sect, the reason why the Immortal Path is the orthodox path is twofold: firstly, because the lifespan of cultivators is long; and secondly, because the Netherworld Sect has four known sect-protecting treasures, three of which belong to the Immortal Path lineage, with an orderly lineage. The invincible Immortal Path has never been interrupted. This is the root of the Immortal Path being the orthodox path, and also the fundamental reason why the Netherworld Sect has stood firm."

Chen Qingfeng is the Grand Master of the Righteous Alliance.

The Iron-Blooded Ancestor was the founder of the Iron-Blooded Sect.

The Righteous Alliance and the Iron Gallant Sect are both among the four major factions in the Western Region. They have a good understanding of the Netherworld Sect's background, and the more they know, the more they respect it.

"The Immortal Daoist Scripture of the Dead".

"Martial Arts "Ji Qigong"."

These are the two fundamental methods of the Netherworld Sect. The "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Technique" can actually be classified as a type of magic, since it only cultivates combat power but cannot increase lifespan. However, due to its special nature, it grows rapidly, so we will temporarily list it alongside the "Scripture of the Dead".

Also.

The Netherworld Sect also possesses the 'Four Great Mystic Arts' and the 'Four Supreme Treasures'.

Law!
Technique!
treasure!
Add people to the mix!

These four factors together laid the foundation for the Netherworld Sect's dominance in the Western Regions and its unshakeable position in the barbarian lands.

The Righteous Alliance, Iron Gallant Sect, and other four major forces are known as 'top-tier,' but even if they were to unite, they would still be no match for the Netherworld Sect.

This is the Netherworld Sect.

These are the Five Sects of the Barbarian Frontier.

The Netherworld Sect is extremely powerful.

The same applies to the other four sects.
