The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 173 The Three Major Sects of the Great Zhou Kingdom

In the medicine garden, everyone had gained something and was in a good mood. Although they had encountered danger before, opportunities always come with risks, and everyone as a cultivator knew this. Fortunately, the danger had temporarily gone, and everyone was ready to go deeper. As usual, Pan Chengfeng led the way in front, Chu Xuanji and Chu Hao guarded on the left and right, Shangguan He and Wu Xunjie followed behind, and Tang Tong and Master Wu were in the middle. The seven people set up their formation and left the medicine garden, moving forward cautiously.

Pan Chengfeng walked along the road, slowly moving forward. This time he didn't dare to walk casually, because there were prohibitions and formations everywhere, which could be triggered if he wasn't careful. Everyone followed Pan Chengfeng, and Master Wu suddenly said: "I can now be sure that as long as you walk on this garden road, you won't trigger any formation prohibitions. The previous prohibition formation should have been set up to protect the two medicine gardens." Tang Tong said: "Oh? How did Master Wu see that?" Master Wu said: "Formation masters have a habit of arranging chain formations. The so-called chain is actually one formation after another. If you break the previous formation, there will be a more difficult and sophisticated formation waiting for you. We broke one before, and it stands to reason that after leaving the range of that formation, we should encounter another one immediately. This is in line with the arrangement habits of formation masters."

Pan Chengfeng asked: "Master Wu, are there no exceptions?" Master Wu smiled and said: "Of course there are exceptions, but they are rare. After all, this great master who can set up a forbidden formation is definitely a formation master. Most formation masters have this habit, and there are some small habits. For example, this one likes to arrange other killing moves in the formation. That is, when the formation is activated, other mechanisms will be arranged to be activated at the same time." Shangguan He asked: "What is Master Wu's habit?"

This old Shangguan He likes to inquire about other people's methods. Just now, he planned to learn about Pan Chengfeng's Overlord Fist from Chu Xuanji. Now he asked about Master Wu's habit of setting up formations. Sure enough, Master Wu glanced at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, we don't seem to be very familiar with each other, right?" Shangguan He shut his mouth apologetically. Chu Xuanji said, "So, there won't be any powerful formations later?" Master Wu said, "No, on the contrary, since there is no danger here. There must be a stronger formation waiting for us in the main hall. The owner here should be very confident in that formation, so there is no other formation and mechanism here. After all, the forbidden formation has been broken, and it would be a waste of materials and energy to set up other small formations. It is better to directly set up a more powerful one."

As they walked and talked, they did not encounter any other formations on the road. Master Wu is indeed a master of formations, he guessed it all. But everyone did not relax because of this, after all, Master Wu said that there was a more powerful formation waiting for them. After walking for half an hour, the group finally saw a magnificent hall. There was a plaque on the vermilion gate with three ancient characters "Shengxian Hall" written on it. Pan Chengfeng could not understand it, but there was a tyrant here. Tang Tong clapped his hands and said, "Good words! The owner here is indeed a scholar!" Pan Chengfeng asked a little embarrassedly, "Brother Tang, what are these three words? I don't know this kind of ancient characters." Tang Tong smiled and said, "This is an ancient text from tens of thousands of years ago. These three words are pronounced as "Shengxian Hall". Good words~" After saying that, he sighed. "Shengxian Hall"? Pan Chengfeng muttered.

Chu Xuanji said, "It seems that this great man has a deep obsession. He even named the hall like this." Chu Hao said, "Who among us cultivators doesn't want to become an immortal one day? If we don't reach the emperor realm, we will eventually turn into a pile of dust." Several people sighed for a while. This time Pan Chengfeng didn't move. Everyone looked at Master Wu, waiting for the master to speak. After a cup of tea, Master Wu said, "There is a very strong restriction on the gate. I don't understand what the restriction is, but I can be sure that this restriction will fight back." Master Wu took out a palm-sized ore from the storage ring and threw it directly at the door. Just when the ore and the gate were about to touch, there was a snap, and the ore broke directly. Everyone's pupils shrank. This restriction is so powerful? Is this the restriction that the combined great man casually set up? I thought it was a restriction that could be easily broken. Now it seems that it is not that simple.

Master Wu was still looking at the restrictions, and the others didn't dare to disturb him. Only Tang Tong seemed to be interested in the restrictions. He followed Master Wu and looked at it carefully. Pan Chengfeng approached Chu Xuanji and asked, "Brother, what are you busy with recently? I don't come to see you, and you don't come to the Zhong family to see me?" Chu Xuanji said with a vigilant look, "What do you want to trouble me with?" Pan Chengfeng said, "How can I do that? I just think that we brothers should move around more. Otherwise, we will become unfamiliar with each other after a long time, right?"

Chu Xuanji said, "We cultivators need to be in seclusion for years or even decades, so how can we have so much time to get together? After this matter is done, brother may be transferred out of Qingxu Town." Hearing this, Pan Chengfeng hurriedly asked, "Where is brother going?" Chu Xuanji said, "I don't know either. I came to Qingxu Town for training arranged by the Grand Pavilion Master, which may take ten years at most or three to five years at least. In the past few years, I have managed the Wanbao Pavilion in Qingxu Town quite well, so it is likely that I will be transferred to a larger place."

Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "So you've been promoted. I'd like to congratulate you first. But I don't know where you'll be transferred to?" Chu Xuanji said, "I only know that you'll be in Dongzhou, but I don't know which country you'll be transferred to." Pan Chengfeng said, "Since you're going to a bigger place, it must be a country that's more powerful than the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "There are at least 80 countries in Dongzhou that are stronger than the Great Zhou. The Qianyuan Sect behind the Great Zhou is no longer strong. There is only one ancestor in the Refining Void Realm to support it, and this ancestor has not much life left. There are not many outstanding descendants, and there is not even one at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm. There are only a few sect masters and elders in the late Incarnation Realm. They can't hold on to this piece of cake and will soon decline."

Pan Chengfeng's eyes turned and he said, "If Qianyuan Sect fails, who will take over the Great Zhou Kingdom?" Chu Xuanji said, "I don't know. It's not the final moment yet. The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect only has less than ten years to live. No one dares to show up until he dies. After all, it's not difficult for a Void Refining cultivator to find someone to take the blame."

Pan Chengfeng's eyes kept turning, and he asked, "There must be a few sects that are strong enough to compete, right? Does the Seven Stars Academy have this strength?" Chu Xuanji looked Pan Chengfeng up and down and warned him, "Don't mess around. A cultivator of the Void Refinement Realm is not a God Transformation Realm. It's far from that. You'd better not cause trouble!" Pan Chengfeng said, "How is that possible? I just want to learn about the sects in the Great Zhou." Chu Xuanji was relieved and said, "The Seven Stars Academy is still quite powerful in the Great Zhou, but if you want to control a country without cultivators of the Void Refinement Realm, don't dream about it." Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "What a pity." Chu Xuanji said: "As far as I know, there are only three forces in the Great Zhou that can take over the Great Zhou. Qingxu Sect is one of them. In the past five hundred years, they have cultivated two Void Refining cultivators. Although they are only in the early stage of Void Refining, they are very young, one is less than 2 years old and the other is over 2000 years old, so no one dares to underestimate them." Pan Chengfeng said disdainfully: "Thousands of years old, still young!" Chu Xuanji glanced at him and continued: "Ziwei Sect, all the sect members are women. Although there are not many disciples, they are all young and outstanding. In addition, there is an ancestor in the middle stage of Void Refining and a sect master in the early stage of Void Refining."

Pan Chengfeng's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly: "There are such sects? All women?" Chu Xuanji asked curiously: "Why are you so excited when talking about women? It can't be said that they are all women. There are still some male disciples who do miscellaneous work, but they are not considered real disciples." Pan Chengfeng said: "Oh? So that's how it is, there are no sects and schools that are all women?" Chu Xuanji said: "What do you want to do? Are you still listening? I won't say anything if you interrupt me again!" Pan Chengfeng apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, brother, please continue." Chu Xuanji then continued: "In fact, there is a sect that is all women, but it is in Beizhou, and it seems to be called the Jade Girl Sect. I don't know about the others. Okay, let's go back to the Great Zhou." Pan Chengfeng secretly made a note: "I must go and see it."

Chu Xuanji didn't know why Pan Chengfeng was asking about this, and continued, "The last one with the strength to compete is the Wuqing Sect, which is also the strongest. There are two Void Refining cultivators in the sect, one in the middle stage of Void Refining and the other in the early stage. However, the skills they practice are special, so their battles are even more powerful." Pan Chengfeng asked, "Brother, how do you know these sects so well? You even know whether their skills are powerful or not?" Chu Xuanji said, "Wanbao Pavilion is a business, but it is also well-informed. These are also the basics of the immortal world that must be understood, otherwise it will be dangerous if you offend people casually."

Pan Chengfeng asked, "According to what my brother said, Wuqing Sect has the best chance?" Chu Xuanji said, "Until the last moment, no one knows what the result will be. According to past practice, several powerful competing sects will draw a line, and then they will compete among themselves. If others dare to intervene, they will join forces to destroy them first. As of now, Wuqing Sect does have the best chance. The 'Wuqing Jue' practiced by this sect is still very powerful. If the other two sects do not have powerful spiritual treasures, I don't think they are their opponents." The two were chatting, and Master Wu and Tang Tong came back. Tang Tong said, "Master Wu finally came up with a solution, and we need everyone's help to break the restriction." Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Master Wu is worthy of being here. He came up with a solution so quickly. Let's go and break the restriction of the combined power together!"
