Practice begins with immortality

"This is what happened," Xuehun said slowly. "About three years ago, I received news that the head elder of our Hehuan lineage, Xuan Cai, had passed away."

"Once Xuan Qia died, the things she left behind in the sect were divided up. But how to divide them was a problem, as they included the several mortal kingdoms she controlled."

"After that, after discussion within the sect, it was decided to use a duel to determine the division of things."

"So, my purpose today is, first, to watch the ceremony, and second, to ask you all to help me fight for the treasure together."

"Of course, no matter what the final result is, I will give you a mortal kingdom."

"I wonder what you guys think?"

After saying this, Xuehun looked at everyone, observing their reactions.

"It turns out that Xuan Cai really died. It seems that those rumors might be true." The old man in yellow robe said with some sudden enlightenment.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Saint Blood has also heard about it. Yes, those rumors are indeed true." Xuehun said with a smile.

"Rumors?" Seeing that everyone else looked thoughtful, Wan Ming asked with some confusion: "Brother, I just returned to the sect not long ago and I don't know some of the secrets. I hope you can help me clear up some confusion."

"Junior Brother Wan, it's normal that you don't know. Because so few people know about this matter and it's too bizarre, I just thought it was a rumor when I first heard about it. After all, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage died, and even his Nascent Soul was destroyed. It's really unbelievable." The old man in yellow robe explained.

Then he added: "However, according to Fellow Daoist Xuehun, it seems that the great cultivator who fell was Elder Xuanca."

"Not only Xuan Cai, but also the second elder of Tianshi Valley and the chief elder of Yingui Cave fell in the South China Sea. Similarly, they were completely killed and their souls were scattered." Xuehun said again, shocking words to everyone.

"How is this possible? He is a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. No matter what, he can't be completely destroyed!" someone said doubtfully.

"Not only that, after mutual verification between our three forces, the time when the three people's life cards were shattered was only a few minutes apart at most. It can be said that the three people died at the hands of the same thing."

"Could it be that they were ambushed and killed by cultivators of the same level who were several times their number? If so, it is probably the result of a joint effort by the great cultivators from several other Divine Transformation forces." One of them guessed.

"That seems the most likely scenario at this point."

"Perhaps there is another possibility, that is, these three people were killed by the same monk." After a moment of silence, Wan Ming slowly expressed his guess.

Hearing this, the yellow-robed old man frowned slightly and slowly shook his head, saying, "Junior Brother Wan, I think it's unlikely. Unless this person is a Divine Transformation Supreme, it would be impossible for him to do this."

"Yes. Not to mention that these three people are all great cultivators. Not only do they have profound cultivation, but they are also the best in the same realm. Take the second elder of Tianshi Valley for example. He is known to be invincible below the level of God Transformation." Another middle-aged man nodded in agreement and went on to explain.

The middle-aged man then added, "That Elder Long was formed from five mid-Nascent Soul stage zombies from the Sky Corpse Valley, fused together using a secret technique. Normally, they remain as one, but at crucial moments, they can split into five. Most importantly, unless all five zombies are killed simultaneously, they are nearly immortal. With two great cultivators present, unless a Divine Transformation cultivator intervenes, it's hard to imagine anyone being able to annihilate them so easily."

"However, for reasons known to all, the South China Sea is a forbidden area for Divine Transformation cultivators. Once entered, there's no chance of survival. After all, that giant whale was able to devour that mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivator over 30,000 years ago, and now, it's advanced again."

The current Nascent Soul cultivators in Beichen Realm are all at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and perhaps with some means they can reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

But the Sword Master in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm also had those methods, and they were even stronger, but he still died.

After that, everyone discussed for a while, and everyone had a serious expression on their face.

"Okay, let's stop here for now. I hope everyone can think about it carefully. If we succeed, not only can we divide Xuan Cai's inheritance, but also according to my understanding, there are several territories bordering the territories of the two people who died together. By then, maybe we can get some more territories." Xuehun said to everyone.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Xuehun, we will seriously consider it. However, there is still an important ceremony to be held. Let's discuss this matter in detail after the ceremony!" Someone said, his eyes flashing, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yes, this ceremony is very important. Except for some external disciples, almost everyone in our sect has come here. We have been discussing this for a long time, and it is getting late. Let's get started as soon as possible!" The old man in yellow robe also said,

"That's true." Others on the field echoed and expressed their agreement.
