Chapter 613: Nascent Soul Realm, Catastrophe
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
-On Sixth Heaven, in the hexagonal double cornice palace in New Sun Sect-
A lot of Core Formation Realm cultivators were patrolling around the specially designed palace.
Dozens of Core Formation cultivators sat in chairs which were lined neatly in the palace. In front of each chair was a small square table with high-quality tea in exquisite teacups.
However, the cultivators looked gloomy, and none of them were in the mood to savor the tea.
These old cultivators who seemed to be in the Core Formation Realm were actually the grand cultivators of Nascent Soul Realm who had been reduced to the Core Formation Realm by Qingfeng Hermit!
When they got the news that Lingwu Master of Sky Mountain Sect went to Fifth Heaven several hours before his seclusion cultivation ended, they stayed put due to their fear of Lingwu Master’s strength.
However, when the other eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect also rushed into Fifth Heaven, these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators couldn’t stay put anymore.
Fifth Heaven had little resources and thin nature essence, but it didn’t mean that there were no treasures on Fifth Heaven. Most importantly, the Nine Dragon Palace, the holy palace of the dragon cultivators, was hiding somewhere on Fifth Heaven.
With Sky Mountain Sect moving in large groups and the phenomenon appearing on Fifth Heaven, they suspected that special treasures had appeared in the world, or the Sky Mountain Sect had found the hidden Nine Dragon Palace, which was why they swarmed to Fifth Heaven.
Unfortunately, they were struck by Qingfeng Hermit from Eighth Heaven, and the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Sixth Heaven were harmed together.
Except for the few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had been cultivating in seclusion, all the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had fallen to the Core Formation Realm!
It was a disaster for Sixth Heaven!
For hours after they rushed back to Sixth Heaven, these grand cultivators had immediately cultivated in seclusion, but they couldn’t break the lock no matter how hard they tried or how many elixir pills they had eaten.
Some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had connections to Seventh Heaven had asked for help, but even the grand cultivators on Seventh Heaven could do nothing about it!
As a high-level five-elemental note, the essence-locking note was made by a dharma note master with deep five-elemental cultivation strength and the ability to use the five kinds of nature essence at the same time.
Also, this note was launched by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, and its power was still great after traveling through Seventh and Sixth Heaven.
After taking all kinds of elixirs and trying all kinds of dharma notes in vain, some of them even bombed their bodies with dharma treasures, but the result was the same.
The masters calmed down and came together to discuss this.
“With the current situation, say whatever is on your mind.” Sitting at the head position in the palace, Lieyang Master said to the people here.
As the Sect Master of New Sun Sect, he had been a grand cultivator in top-tier Nascent Soul Realm before the essence-locking note hit him.
About 200 hundred years ago, New Sun Sect had been a sect on Seventh Heaven. After several peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators passed away and the loss of three top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in some mystic territories, New Sun Sect’s strength dropped greatly with only 12 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators left. Under pressure from the other seven sects on Seventh Sect, New Sun Sect had to move to Sixth Heaven.
After they came to Sixth Heaven where the nature essence was less intense, New Sun Sect had declined further. There were only eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the sect, even one less than Sky Mountain Sect.
Sky Mountain Sect had emerged swiftly with their unique skills in elixir making and beast raising and possessed more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators than New Sun Sect, becoming one of the most powerful sects on Sixth Heaven. It had been growing steadily, with the goal of elevating into Seventh Heaven.
Of course, the battle with Ethereal Summit had greatly damaged the middle-level force of Sky Mountain Sect, turning its ambition of entering Seventh Heaven into a far-away dream.
“Lieyang Master.” The cultivator sitting in the 12th chair cupped his hands. “Huoye Master and I have asked Immortal Guo Wang of Seventh Heaven about the grand cultivator who attacked us, and he said the cultivator should be the legendary Qingfeng Hermit.”
“Qingfeng Hermit…”
The cultivators in the palace repeated this name and looked at each other.
As a Soul Formation Realm cultivator on Seventh Heaven, Immortal Guo Wang shouldn’t be wrong.
As the upper-level cultivators in the cultivation world, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators knew something about the Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
Besides, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven were different from the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Fifth Heaven; they had more information than the latter.
All the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had heard about the name of Qingfeng Hermit who was said to be the toughest Soul Formation Realm cultivator, and even other Soul Formation Realm cultivators had to be careful around her.
This Soul Formation Realm cultivator was among the rare ones who cultivated the five elements simultaneously and comprehended the Heavenly Dao with dharma notes. Even the Soul Formation Realm cultivators couldn’t block her dharma notes.
This Soul Formation Realm cultivator roamed around the world disguised in all kinds of identities, and the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had to remember her name so that they wouldn’t offend her by mistake.
Of course, her name was only known to the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Otherwise, any cultivator could use her name to frighten away the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
“Immortal Guo Wang said that the essence-locking note is different from the ordinary dharma notes since its effects are permanent as long as we use nature essence. Except…”
All the masters sat up abruptly and listened to Songye Master attentively.
“Except for Qingfeng Hermit dissolving the notes herself,” Songye master continued while he watched the reactions of the surrounding masters.
“Ah…” All the masters in the palace exhaled in disappointment, and their faces turned dark again.
Qingfeng Hermit was on Eighth Heaven; who could go up onto Eighth Heaven?
Besides, even if they could find Qingfeng Hermit, who could ask her to do the favor and dissolve the note?
Just like how Nascent Soul Realm masters had no regard for Core Formation Realm cultivators, Soul Formation Realm cultivators would ignore the request of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
“What happened to Xiefeng Master?” Lieyang Master glanced at the empty chair at the end of the row and asked.
“He asked six disciples to build the Fire Light Array to burn off the dharma note in his body with the method of elixir making. However, the note wasn’t dissolved, and he was severely injured,” one of the masters said.
The incident sounded ridiculous and funny in the past. However, no one laughed right now.
After all, to dissolve the note, these masters had also tried all kinds of silly methods after all the regular ways failed.
“This incident happened all because of Sky Mountain Sect. I think…” Another master broke the silence and said tentatively.
Everyone turned to look at him.
“It began with Sky Mountain Sect, and it should end with Sky Mountain Sect. I think the 26 sects should force Sky Mountain Sect to hand over the person responsible for the incident at Ethereal Summit, which probably will appease Qingfeng Hermit enough to dissolve the notes for us,” the cultivator said as he looked around at the people in the room.
The others didn’t speak and thought of his suggestion. If they used this plan, the 26 sects would pressure Sky Mountain Sect together, but the latter wasn’t a weak sect. After dropping to the Core Formation Realm, the former Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had returned to their states hundreds of years ago. With the great decrease of cultivation strengths, they couldn’t use their dharma treasures and would probably be killed by a couple of elite Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect.
If they asked the Core Formation Realm cultivators to fight for them, there would be heavy casualties. Since none of the 26 sects wished to take the lead in the battle, there would be chaos, and Sky Mountain would probably fight back fiercely, causing great casualties for the sects.
At this thought, all the masters remained silent.
Sky Mountain Sect had been growing fast, and these sects wanted to suppress Sky Mountain Sect while the latter was greatly damaged this time. However, without Nascent Soul Realm cultivators leading the charge, it was hard for them to fight Sky Mountain Sect which possessed lots of elixirs.
On Sixth Heaven, each sect wanted to take possession of another sect. Now was a great time for them to split the territory of Sky Mountain Sect whose power had been greatly damaged with all nine Nascent Soul Realm masters reduced to weak realms, but the problem was that they themselves had also been harmed!
There were almost no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on Sixth Heaven!
It was horrible! Instead of taking possession of others, they were worried that they might be forced into affiliated sects by the sects on Seventh Heaven or fall onto Fifth Heaven!
It was a time full of opportunities and risks!
Anyone who could recover the Nascent Soul Realm first would have a great advantage over the others. For two sects that had similar strengths before, the one with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would have all the good cards while the one without Nascent Soul Realm would be in disaster!
“Since no one can offer a solution, we’ll continue the discussion another day!” Lieyang Master waved his hand.
With their respective hidden agendas, the masters ended the meeting cheerlessly.
However, the masters all had a secret plan, and that was to contact Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven in secret and ask the mysterious Herb King Master to dissolve the essence-locking note for them at any price he or she asked!
