Volume 7: The Origin of Enlightenment Chapter 929: The Situation Changes
Afterwards, tens of thousands of monks from the four forces clasped their fists and bowed again to express their gratitude before turning around and leaving the place quickly.
After leaving, most of the monks returned to their own forces, while a small number did not choose to return.
However, most of those who did not return were from the Fuhua Sect and the Tianming Sect, while almost all the people from the Cai Family and the Wei Family returned to their families.
The cohesion of family power is indeed stronger than that of sect power. It is more likely that the sect will fall apart, but because there are many relatives in the family, most cultivators will not give up unless they have no other choice.
However, family power almost only consists of people of the same clan, and the number of geniuses is relatively limited, so most of them pay great attention to the strength of their bloodline, which is equivalent to their standard for measuring talent.
The sect forces can attract more geniuses to come and shine in their own light in the mutual struggle.
The leader of the Huadan Sect ignored these tens of thousands of cultivators, but turned back to the sect and began to warmly entertain the Grand Elder of the Jianxian Sect and others, while discussing something with them.
Three hours later, the Sword Immortal Sect's Grand Elder and others flew out of the Huadan Sect and rushed towards the Sword Immortal Sect at an extremely fast speed.
However, after they returned to the Sword Immortal Sect, they did not stay for too long. After a moment, they flew out with hundreds of second-level elders and suddenly rushed towards where the Cai family was.
At the Huadan Sect, the Sect Master also personally left with three great elders and hundreds of second-level elders, and suddenly approached the direction of the Wei family.
Feeling the terrifying aura emitted by the cultivators flying out from the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect, the forces on the ground below immediately realized that the situation on Hongyuan Star had completely changed from today.
During the time that the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect were discussing, the news had already spread at an incredibly alarming speed.
At this time, many forces had already heard about the four forces joining forces to attack the Huadan Sect, which ended in a tragic way. They knew that the five major forces on Hongyuan Star were equivalent to three less.
Although they knew that the power of these four forces had been reduced by most of them at this time, many forces did not dare to covet it, because they knew very well that it was the spoils of war belonging to the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect!
If we try to snatch the spoils from the two most powerful sects, I am afraid that my life will be too long for me, and I may not even see the next day’s sunrise!
Seeing the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect taking action, other forces did not dare to pay too much attention to them, for fear of upsetting the two major sects and bringing disaster upon themselves.
Although the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect launched attacks on all four forces at the same time, it did not cause much disturbance.
The Cai Family, the Wei Family, the Fuhua Sect, and the Tianming Sect did not dare to resist at all, and even took the initiative to open the protective formation to welcome the people from the Huadan Sect or the Jianxian Sect.
They had already learned about the tragic outcome of this war from the returning elders, and they also knew that the Grand Elder of the Huadan Sect had already broken through to the legendary Duyuan Realm.
Therefore, the four forces knew very well that having lost all their energy-controlling masters, they could never be a match for the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect.
If they resist, they might even be exterminated and their power would be completely wiped out from Hongyuan Star.
Therefore, after discussion, the Tianxuan Realm Perfect Elders from the four forces unanimously decided not to resist, to meet all the needs of the Huadan Sect or the Jianxian Sect, and even to open the protective formation to welcome them in respectfully.
This incident did not surprise the people of Huadan Sect and Jianxian Sect. After they entered the four forces, they did not show any courtesy and emptied their treasure pavilions...
This is the price the four forces have to pay for their actions. This is already an act of mercy from the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect, otherwise the four forces would probably have fallen apart.
The Huadan Sect took resources from the Wei Family and the Fuhua Sect, while the Jianxian Sect took resources from the Cai Family and the Tianming Sect.
This was exactly the result of discussions between the leader of the Huadan Sect and the supreme elder of the Jianxian Sect. Originally, the supreme elder of the Jianxian Sect did not agree to take over the resources of two forces, and instead wanted the Huadan Sect to take over the resources of three forces.
However, the leader of the Huadan Sect was very persistent, saying that the help from the Jianxian Sect this time was a great favor and that the resources of both forces must be collected.
Finally, the Grand Elder of the Sword Immortal Sect had to agree, but he also insisted that the Huadan Sect take over two of the five major forces, while the Sword Immortal Sect would take over one side and the resources of the Tianming Sect.
The foundation and resources of the five major forces are naturally stronger than those of the Tianming Sect, so the Huadan Sect can gain more.
It was for this reason that the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect simultaneously set out to plunder the forces in all directions.
In just half a day, all the forces in the four directions were plundered by the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect. Almost all of the valuable magic weapons and resources within them were emptied, leaving only some ordinary first-level resources.
Even the more valuable resources in the first realm were all taken away.
Even the classics collected by the four forces were looted by the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect, making the secrets of the four forces completely known.
However, the many cultivators from these four forces did not have too much dissatisfaction. They were already extremely grateful that the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect had spared them.
As the people from the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect left these four forces, Hongyuan Star returned to peace again.
Now the situation on Hongyuan Star has been settled. Huadan Sect and Jianxian Sect have become the two top forces, and other forces can no longer be compared with them.
Moreover, now that the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect have plundered the resources of several other major forces, their strength will probably increase again.
Soon, a large number of small forces that were originally affiliated with the three major forces went to the Huadan Sect or the Jianxian Sect, sending a large amount of resources and choosing to become affiliated with them.
The three major forces they depended on could no longer serve as their backers. After careful consideration, they decisively chose to change their backers so that they could continue to gain a foothold in Hongyuan Star.
Before, they were dependent on the three major forces, which made other forces afraid to take action against them. They could be said to be surviving under the protection of the five major forces.
But now that the five major forces have become two major forces, they must rely on the two major forces, otherwise they may be attacked by other forces.
The forces that were originally dependent on the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect have now seen their status rise, making many other forces even more wary.
If these forces attack other forces to seize resources, I am afraid that many small forces will not dare to resist in humiliation.
This is the cruelty of the cultivation world, where the strong prey on the weak, and it is also the desire of many forces to become the top force.
To become a top power, even if you don't look for resources yourself, a large number of small forces will respectfully offer resources to you in order to seek protection.
Because of this, after the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect became the two top forces, they occupied most of the resources of Hongyuan Star. With the vast accumulation of resources, their strength will become even more powerful.
The Huadan Sect's Sect Master and Great Elder did not interfere in the matter of receiving these small forces, but handed it over to the more senior Tianxuan Realm Perfect Elder.
Several elders who have reached the Perfect Source Realm are already familiar with this matter, and other small forces know that the Huadan Sect is now the undisputed strongest force on Hongyuan Star, and they dare not offend it in the slightest, so naturally there will be no mistakes.
The leader of the Huadan Sect also asked Li Xuanfeng whether he was willing to participate in this matter, but Li Xuanfeng respectfully refused and began to go into seclusion.
Li Xuanfeng wanted to break through to the perfection of the Tianxuan realm as quickly as possible while ensuring the stability of his foundation.
For Li Xuanfeng, the resources needed to break through to the perfection of the Tianxuan Realm were already sufficient. It was only because his previous breakthrough was too fast that he decided to stop and calm down.
This time, Li Xuanfeng's control over his cultivation was greatly benefited by and he has already stabilized his cultivation a lot.
Moreover, Li Xuanfeng has already decided that after his cultivation breakthrough, he will leave Huadan Sect to accomplish an extremely important task.
When Li Xuanfeng entered seclusion, time passed slowly, and Hongyuanxing continued to develop at a very fast speed in the calm.
Although the situation on Hongyuan Star has changed completely, it has not had much impact on the many small forces below.
The biggest impacts were on the four defeated forces in this battle, but now they were so frightened that they dared not cause any trouble at all, fearing that the Huadan Sect and the Jianxian Sect would take revenge on them later.
It is precisely because of this that Hongyuan Star was able to restore peace so quickly. The change in the situation is inevitable. Although the four forces are unwilling, they also know that they are powerless to reverse the situation.
As time passed, Li Xuanfeng sat cross-legged quietly in the cave, absorbing the spiritual power from the outside world for cultivation with all his strength without any restraint.
Although the spiritual power from the outside world can no longer improve Li Xuanfeng's cultivation in the slightest, it can still be used to consolidate his cultivation.
Although the speed of absorbing external spiritual power to consolidate cultivation is slow, it is the most suitable method for Li Xuanfeng at this time.
It was because Li Xuanfeng absorbed a large amount of natural treasures that his cultivation level increased too quickly, which resulted in his cultivation level not being completely stabilized. Now, it is extremely difficult to achieve the ideal effect by absorbing natural treasures to stabilize his cultivation level.
As time passed, Li Xuanfeng's cultivation power seemed to be constantly settling, and his aura was actually becoming weaker and weaker.
A year later, the aura emanating from Li Xuanfeng had become extremely weak, like a cultivator who had not yet entered the second realm. Even people in the same realm found it difficult to sense his realm.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng had completely stabilized the power of cultivation in his body, and even his breath could be perfectly controlled.
After practicing in seclusion for a whole year, Li Xuanfeng finally eliminated all the hidden dangers left by his previous rapid breakthrough in cultivation.
Moreover, during this year, Li Xuanfeng was not only absorbing spiritual power for cultivation, but also constantly comprehending the power of his own artistic conception.
Now Li Xuanfeng's eyes have become deeper and his expression is calm, like a wise man in the world. It is obvious that his understanding of the artistic conception has been enhanced again.
Li Xuanfeng knew very well that for a cultivator in the second realm, it was not enough to just consolidate his cultivation. He also needed to constantly comprehend the power of artistic conception in order to possess stronger combat power.
