Mythical Cultivation

This kind of practice is like walking on a tightrope; if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

After all, no one can guarantee that he can always walk steadily on the edge of a knife without being hurt by the blade.

Wu Ming said solemnly, "This method is not acceptable to ordinary people. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. If there is even the slightest mistake, I'm afraid the outcome will be death."

After hearing this, the fanaticism in Tang Shaolong's eyes gradually faded away and he returned to his original calmness.

He nodded and said, "Junior Brother, what you said is absolutely right. However, if you want to catch up with those gifted monsters with ordinary talents, I'm afraid there is no other way except this one."

Although Wu Ming really wanted to improve his cultivation speed, he would never consider that method.

After all, this method is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may end up in an irretrievable situation.

Wu Ming has always cherished his life very much.

In addition to practicing, Wu Ming also learned some information about the sect during his conversation with Tang Shaolong.

It turned out that the situation in the sect had changed significantly in the past few years. The lives of the inner disciples were no longer as good as before.

The cause of all this can be traced back to the news coming from the border battlefield years ago.

It is said that the sect had a fierce confrontation with the Netherworld Sect of Huangsha County there, but ended up suffering a great loss.

In that battle, the sect suffered heavy losses, with dozens of inner disciples killed and nearly a hundred disciples seriously injured.

When this bad news reached the sect, it caused a huge uproar.

The sect’s top leaders immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

After a heated debate and careful consideration, it was finally decided to recall several true disciples who were outside the sect, and at the same time to summon nearly a hundred inner disciples, led by four true disciples to go to the border battlefield for support.

However, this move resulted in a significant reduction in the number of disciples within the sect.

Not only that, those fellow disciples who had entered the sect with Wu Ming but had not yet successfully established their foundation also left one after another, making the atmosphere in the sect somewhat deserted.

The reason why Tang Shaolong was not summoned was that he retired from the battlefield several years ago and was currently in a rest period.

Therefore, the sect did not include him in the call-up list this time.

However, the sect did not let him do nothing, but instead arranged a relatively easy task for him to recruit new members.

When Wu Ming learned the news, he couldn't help but recall the past.

He recalled the lively scenes in the sect a few years ago. At that time, there were many disciples in the sect. Everyone communicated with each other, exchanged skills, and completed tasks together. The sect was full of vitality.

However, times have changed, and in just a few years, the sect has undergone such tremendous changes.

What makes Wu Ming even more emotional is that the twenty-year period has come to an end, and he doesn't know how many of the people he once knew can still stay in the sect.

Where will those who fail to successfully build their foundation and have to leave the sect go in the end?

However, when Wu Ming heard the news from the border battlefield so directly for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart.

After all, he had come into contact with the disciples of the Netherworld Sect when he was in the Qi Refining Realm. If it weren't for the support of Senior Brother Wang Zongyuan, the grass on his grave might have been several feet high by now!

When Wu Ming heard Senior Brother Tang Shaolong mention the border battlefield, he became more and more interested in the situation on the border battlefield.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Wu Ming asked Tang Shaolong about the specifics of the border battlefield. "Brother Tang, what exactly is this border battlefield you just mentioned? Could you tell me about it so I can learn more?"

Seeing this, Tang Shaolong smiled slightly, then slowly said: "Speaking of this border battlefield, it is truly a veritable meat grinder!"

There was a hint of emotion and helplessness in his tone.

Then, Tang Shaolong did not directly answer Wu Ming's question, but suddenly asked Wu Ming: "Junior brother, do you know how many inner disciples our sect has?"

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then recalled the scene when he first became an inner disciple.

At that time, when he was choosing a cave, he saw the caves that were densely packed like stars, and he had a rough estimate of the number of disciples in the sect.

"As far as I know, there should be at least a thousand inner disciples in the sect!" Wu Ming replied.

“Junior brother, what you said is quite true. The number of inner disciples in our sect is indeed large, more than a thousand.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the number of inner disciples you can see in the sect is far less than this.

The reason for this is actually because at least half of the sect's inner disciples are on the border battlefield."

Tang Shaolong paused and continued, "Some of these disciples are carrying out missions under the sect's orders, while others are striving for resources in order to improve their own realms. And the enemy they face is none other than the dominant force of another county, Huangsha County—the Netherworld Sect."

"Why does the Netherworld Sect want to invade our Qingjiang County? Don't they have any resources in the county?" Wu Ming asked puzzledly.

Hearing Wu Ming's question, Tang Shaolong frowned slightly and introduced in a serious tone: "Most of the area of ​​Huangsha County is covered by vast deserts. Compared with our Qingjiang County, its cultivation environment is extremely harsh.

Furthermore, Huangsha County's cultivation resources are slightly inferior to Qingjiang County's. With so many practitioners, resources are naturally more important than their scarcity. This is precisely why the Netherworld Sect has been eyeing Qingjiang County, home to our Qingyun Sect, with eager eyes, attempting to seize this more fertile land.

After saying this, Tang Shaolong took a sip of the spiritual tea beside him and continued, "Based on the situation in Huangsha County and the cultivation environment of the disciples of the Netherworld Sect, the Netherworld Sect implements the concept of the strong rising and the weak falling, the survival of the fittest, and plunder.

If you want to obtain more resources, it is obviously impossible to achieve it within this county, so naturally you can only turn your attention to Qingjiang County, which has more abundant resources.

And their Netherworld Sect has been coveting our Qingjiang County for thousands of years!

During this long period, the disciples of our Qingyun Sect have remained firmly on the border, confronting the forces of the Netherworld Sect. This protracted confrontation has cost countless brave Qingyun Sect disciples their lives.

It can be said that it was precisely because of this thousand-year confrontation that most of the sect’s inner disciples unfortunately died on the border battlefield.

Otherwise, with the foundation and strength of our Qingyun Sect, how could the number of inner disciples be only a few thousand?

Furthermore, it is precisely because of the massive loss of inner disciples that our control over Qingjiang County has become so unstable. This undoubtedly provides those clowns with ill intentions with an opportunity to act recklessly and stir up trouble within our territory."
