Cold Clouds

Some sects in the lower world are branches of the upper world, but many of them were extinct in previous sect wars. This was what Mu Yingxiao said when he was telling a story to Lin Xiaoxiao.

The Yunjian Sect is one of the survivors, and the other is the Jiukutang. The Jiukutang’s original name in the upper realm is Shennongfang, but the name of the Yunjian Sect has not changed.

However, according to Mu Yingxiao, the Yunjian Sect began to decline when she was still in the upper realm, because their rival, the Wanshou Sword Manor, was indeed very powerful.

The most important thing is that the old sect leader died, and the new sect leader lost in the duel with the owner of Wanshou Sword Manor, and the reputation of Yunjian Sect began to decline.

Qin Fan is the fifth-generation disciple of the Yunjian Sect. The current sect master in the upper realm is the twelfth-generation disciple. If Lin Xiaoxiao goes to the upper realm, she will nominally be the sixth-generation disciple.

The only living person in the Upper Realm Yunjian Sect who is older than Lin Xiaoxiao is a fourth-generation disciple who is several hundred years old. The others are disciples from the eighth generation onwards. These old men and women are all elders who protect the sect and are well versed in the secret chamber of the Upper Realm Yunjian Sect.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for most people in the Yunjian Sect of the upper realm to call Lin Xiaoxiao "Uncle Master".

Moreover, it has been some time since Mu Yingxiao came to the lower world, and it is still unknown whether the fourth-generation disciple is still alive.

And the most important thing is that the Yunjian Sect in the upper realm has a stone slab for detection. People from the branch clan in the lower realm can go up and detect it, and can even detect which generation of disciples it is based on the sect token.

There is a magical rule when going from the lower world to the upper world, that is, the disciples of the sect must hang the sect token around their waists. The main purpose is to have both the person and the sect engraved on the monument of honor.

Lin Xiaoxiao was overwhelmed when she heard the news.

It is true that strength is respected in the world of cultivation, but seniority is a matter of public order and good customs, which they also recognize.

In other words, it is very likely that as soon as Lin Xiaoxiao goes up, she will be pulled away by the old man from the Yunjian Sect in the upper realm and serve as the mascot of the scapegoat.

Damn, that's scary.

Eh? Did I do something wrong? Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt something was wrong and frowned as she began to think.

It seems that there is no need for me to go to the upper realm?

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao gradually revealing joy and relief, Mu Yingxiao coughed twice.

"You have to know that ascending to heaven means defeating the Heavenly Dao. Given your current situation, you will definitely have to pull the Heavenly Dao down in the end, or else your soul will be scattered," Mu Ying smiled and sighed, "So do you have to ascend, or do you want to watch the Heavenly Dao that struck you so many times rest in peace?"

Tsk, Gou Tiandao is really annoying.

Yes, we have to go up.

Mu Yingxiao's story had not yet ended. According to her, the top nine sects in the upper realm were the nine major sects. The sphere of influence of the upright human cultivators covered four continents and a considerable number of islands. There was one continent that had no sect, and the nine major sects were evenly distributed on the remaining three continents.

On the continent without the sect stands the royal city.

Yes, a dynasty-like social structure has been formed in the upper realm, with the nine major sects under the jurisdiction of the royal city.

According to Mu Yingxiao, the upper realm was originally composed of ten major sects. In the end, the most powerful one suppressed the other nine sects and became the "king".

This happened a thousand years ago, and the leader is still alive today.

The peak of Mahayana, half a step to true immortality.

Even more terrifying!

A feudal emperor who has lived for more than a thousand years and is a half-step immortal!? Am I having a nightmare?

Moreover, Mu Ying smiled and said that the leaders of the nine major sects were at least in the middle stage of Mahayana, and these nine together might not be able to defeat the old emperor.

There are also some other sect leaders who are about to reach the Mahayana stage, and there are also several first-rate sects with Mahayana combat power in the sect, such as the Yunjian Sect and the Wanshou Sword Manor in the upper realm.

However, I don’t know how the Yunjian Sect is doing now. Wanshou Villa is probably okay. After all, Wanshou Villa seems to have expanded its business to the lower realm recently.

However, Qin Feng invited Qin Fan's soul to go with him and rob them, leaving them penniless. They took back the sect tokens and also brought the people back to be used as laborers in Yaowang Valley.

Lin Xiaoxiao was wondering why Qin Feng was so angry, but now it seems understandable.

Fortunately, the Wanshou Sword Manor’s family in the upper realm had no way of knowing about this, otherwise, if I were to go to the upper realm, I’m afraid the two families would have fought each other…

Alas... But these laborers are quite happy. After all, the spiritual power in Medicine King Valley is the most concentrated in the lower realm, and can be compared with the areas with generally lower spiritual power in the upper realm.

For these people who were originally exiled to a not-so-good place because of their low status, it was like returning home.

Ah~ tilling the land, primitive labor, physical and mental comfort~

Looking at the people from Wanshou Sword Manor who were talking and laughing and seemed to be in a good mood, Lin Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought.

Maybe I could open an inn? If someone steals something, they won't be able to get away with it, and I can also make some extra money...

Let’s get off topic. Let’s get back to the topic of the emperor of the upper realm.

The old man's name was Ding Cun, he had a fire-attributed spiritual root and he once ate a red bird alive.

What kind of monster is this? It's scary!

However, it seems that the governance is pretty good, and even spirit stones and metal currencies are linked together to form a monetary system.

I have to say, it’s pretty amazing.

The small island countries around it that did not become part of this huge dynasty also formed a tributary trade relationship with this dynasty.

Even a demon dynasty that also occupied several continents signed a treaty with Ding Cun.

The few forces that are still jumping around and are clearly hostile to Ding Cun are the only evil cultivators occupying a supercontinent and several small demon dynasties. However, if these guys unite, they can also be a considerable force, at least enough to make Ding Cun hesitate when facing them.

After all, if he were to go into full-scale war with this group of people, the super demon dynasty behind him might not just be there to watch the show, and might even stab him.

But what amazed Lin Xiaoxiao the most was not these. The most amazing achievement of this old emperor was that he went directly from the upper realm to the lower realm, captured a person, and then returned easily. This operation even happened on the same day.

You have to know that the power of the laws separating the upper and lower worlds is extremely strong. How can this old emperor easily travel back and forth within a day?

Is he a human? He's almost a fairy, but he's not really a fairy! Is it really okay to play like this?

Scary...

How many times have I said it's scary today? Never mind. Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, hoping that the good brothers of the Yunjian Sect in the upper realm would not cause trouble and take this old man down, otherwise we would not be able to bear it.

Mu Yingxiao has many stories, too many to tell in one day, but she has told Lin Xiaoxiao everything she should know. After all, as long as everything goes well, Lin Xiaoxiao will definitely have to face these things when she goes to the upper realm.

Mu Yingxiao took a sip of tea and quietly watched Lin Xiaoxiao feed the monsters.

Life is so leisurely these days. If I didn't have to worry about the laws of nature, it would be nice if it could continue like this.

Oh well... hope it goes well.
