Chapter 284: The Strongest in the Southern Wasteland (1)
The entire city was as big as half of China!
The city walls were also very high, more than ten thousand feet. The people who came and went were basically cultivators and Xiantian warriors. There were almost no mortals. One could imagine the level of martial arts in this city.
The guards stationed at the city gates were at least Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there were even many Aurous Core Stage cultivators as commanders, guarding sections of the city walls.
This place was not even where Nine Dragon Mountain was, and there were already so many experts here. He wondered how many experts there were in Nine Dragon Mountain.
Zhu Wuan could not help but gasp. She once again felt the power of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
Nine Dragon Mountain was only one of the 99 mountains of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, yet it had so many experts. How many experts were there in the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?
Zhu Wanhao obediently paid the entrance fee of a low-grade spirit stone before entering the crowded Nine Dragons City.
Nine Dragon City was the only gateway to the outside world of Nine Dragon Mountain, and it was also the outermost gateway. It was also the place where Nine Dragon Mountain recruited disciples every year. Therefore, it was extremely prosperous. It could be said to be the most prosperous market place among the thousands of cultivation sects and clans in the surrounding area.
Nine Dragons City could be considered a city of commerce!
After entering Nine Dragons City, what greeted Zhu Wuyang’s eyes were cultivators and warriors above the Connate Realm. Among them, there were many Immortal Cultivators who had entered the Dao through martial arts, and some foreign cultivators. This was an eye-opener for Zhu Wuyang.
Nine Dragon Mountain had set up a Nine Dragon Hall in Nine Dragon City to hold the entrance examination every year. At the same time, it was also the place to accept the token of Nine Dragon Mountain.
However, Zhu Wanwan didn’t rush to Nine Dragon Hall immediately. Instead, she planned to stroll around Nine Dragon City and digest all the treasures and resources she had accumulated. At the same time, she would also learn about the situation on Nine Dragon Mountain through the cultivators in Nine Dragon City.
Although Ou Yangming had told him a lot about Nine Dragon Mountain, he only knew about the mountain from more than 1,000 years ago. Who knew if there were any other changes in Nine Dragon Mountain and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect after so long?
Zhu Wuyang changed her appearance and began to sell the resources and treasures she had obtained along the way, leaving only a small portion of what she needed.
By the time all the resources and treasures were sold, the number of low-grade spirit stones in Zhu Wuwan’s hands had already reached five million, which was equivalent to 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
A middle-grade spirit stone was worth about 100 low-grade spirit stones!
It was much easier to store 50,000 middle-grade spirit stones. A storage ring was enough. Zhu Wuwan finally did not have to carry a large number of treasures and resources around.
However, what made Zhu Wuwan speechless was that any inn in the center of Nine Dragons City would cost a middle-grade spirit stone for a night. Although the facilities in these inns were indeed very good and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely dense, Zhu Wuwan’s cultivation did not have high requirements for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Therefore, after some consideration, Zhu Wanhao chose to stay in an inn in the middle of Nine Dragons City, which had the least Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi. Of course, it was also a relatively remote inn. It only cost one low-grade spirit stone a night, which was much less than the inn in the center of Nine Dragons City.
After finding a place to stay, Zhu Wuwan began to buy some things she needed. At the same time, she also inquired about the situation of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and Nine Dragon Mountain.
However, the more he asked, the more shocked he became. He didn’t know if he should be happy or worried.
He was delighted because, just as Ou Yangming had said, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was extremely powerful at the moment. It was one of the three super immortal sects recognized by the Southern Wasteland, and it showed signs of dominating the Southern Wasteland. In other words, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was more powerful than it had been a thousand years ago, and it was the number one immortal sect in the Southern Wasteland.
This was because in the past thousand years, the Thousand Poisons Sect had experienced successive breakthroughs. The number of ancient powerhouses at the Void Training Stage had increased by several times, and a second Body Integration Pillar had been born.
The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was the only super immortal sect in the Southern Wasteland that had two Body Integration Stage pillars!
Over the past thousand years, thanks to various competitive mechanisms, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect had produced many prodigies and demons, suppressing the other two super immortal sects in the Southern Wasteland, the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect. They were in the limelight for a period of time and were at their most glorious time in the past tens of thousands of years.
To be able to join such a super immortal sect, he would naturally have the strongest backing in the Southern Wasteland. He would also be able to obtain more resources and ancient books, which would be extremely beneficial to Zhu Wanmei’s future cultivation.
However, there were ups and downs. As the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect looked down on the entire Southern Wasteland and suppressed the area of a trillion miles, the other two super immortal sects in the Southern Wasteland naturally could not sit still.
Over the years, the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect had shown signs of joining forces. They had a tacit understanding to suppress the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, especially the elites of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.
After all, if they were to directly target the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, it would be very easy to provoke a war between the sects. At that time, it would be a fight to the death. Therefore, it was better to settle for the second best and suppress the future of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect first.
The Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect had sent a large number of spies and spies into the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. Once they found a suitable opportunity, they would attack the prodigies and geniuses of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. Therefore, in just a few hundred years, hundreds of legacy crown princes of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect had died.
One had to know that there were only a little over 1,000 legacy crown princes in the entire Thousand Poisons Sect. Each of them was heavily protected, but half of them had died under such circumstances. One could imagine how crazy the assassination attempts of the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect were.
Not only that, but the Medicine God Sect and Sacred Flame Sect had also lured the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to defect and provide them with information. They had even lured the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to attack. This had caused the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to lose a large number of elites in a short period of time.
Although the Thousand Poison Sect had harsh criminal laws, they had the support of the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect. Once things went wrong, the disciples who betrayed the sect would flee to the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect. Therefore, many disciples were not afraid of the torture of the Thousand Poison Sect.
Furthermore, the competition in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was so intense that they could reap huge benefits with every step they took. Under such circumstances, many disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect would have wanted to attack their fellow disciples who were threatening their status if they did not sow discord between the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect.
Now that the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect were sowing discord between them, these ill-intentioned disciples would often beat them at their own game and take the opportunity to reveal the secrets of their competitors or send their competitors to their deaths.
At this moment, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect could receive great benefits and treatment, but the danger was also ridiculously high. If they were not careful, they would be killed. It could be said that they were in trouble both internally and externally.
Basically, there were outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, and legacy disciples who performed well every year … Even an ordinary deacon had died because of this. Zhu Wuyan could be said to have come to the best era of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, but it could also be said to be the worst era!
