Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 2148: 764: A Life of Trials and Tribulations

Chapter 2148: Chapter 764: A Life of Trials and Tribulations

After arriving outside the marketplace, he followed the formal protocol by first releasing his aura to reveal his presence and proactively announced his identity and purpose.

But after listening to his intentions, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator inside the marketplace replied earnestly, “Taoist Friend Zhou, please forgive . Due to incidents of traitors leading alien races to raid marketplaces previously, all major marketplaces now have strict inspection procedures for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators entering.”

“Since Taoist Friend Zhou is here to provide support under the orders of Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable, I, Xia, do not have the authority to connect you. I can only relay your ssage to the Taoists of the five major forces and ask them to send soone to verify and connect with you!”

This response caused Zhou Chun to frown slightly, but given the ample reasons provided by the other party, he could not act out.

He simply waved his hand and said, “If that’s the case, let’s not trouble Taoist Friend Xia any further. Just inform where Zhou Mou can handle this matter, and I will go myself.”

Upon hearing his words, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator inside the marketplace eagerly replied, “That would be best. The nearest place is the Jiuyuan Sword Sect gate. Taoist Friend Zhou can go there to handle this matter!”

“I understand, thank you, Taoist Friend Xia, for informing .”

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, then imdiately turned to leave with his group.

After traveling several thousand miles, they arrived outside the Jiuyuan Sword Sect gate.

As one of the major forces in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Jiuyuan Sword Sect gate was naturally exceedingly imposing.

Located in Nine Dragons Ridge, the sect boasts nine spirit peaks rich in spiritual energy, none lesser than Green Lotus Peak, and each spirit peak is separated by hundreds of miles!

Thus, relying on these nine spirit peaks, the sect has spent countless years, exhausting generations of all their strength, to set up a super formation covering a thousand-mile area!

This super formation encompasses most of Nine Dragons Ridge; it is said that when fully activated, even Deity Transformation Stage cultivators can be kept out!

Jiuyuan Sword Sect, with this super formation coupled with its foundational strength as the number-one Sword Cultivator sect, has consistently been one of the top three sects in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Even now, when alien races invade and the frontlines at Tianyuan Immortal City are intensely fought, the area around Nine Dragons Ridge remains peaceful and undisturbed, with no alien race daring to approach.

Upon arriving here, Zhou Chun was also quite low-key, revealing his aura from afar.

When he approached the Jiuyuan Sword Sect gate, a fiery sword light promptly flew out from within the gate, stopping several thousand feet away from him.

That sword light revealed a red-robed youth with sword-like brows and bright eyes, having the sa Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation level as Zhou Chun.

The person first glanced at Zhou Chun and Luo Qingni, then spoke indifferently, “Elder Li Chenxing of Jiuyuan Sword Sect here. May I know your na, and what brings you to our sect?”

“So it’s Taoist Friend Li. Zhou Mou greets.” Zhou Chun clasped his fist in a salute, not upset by the other’s cold deanor.

He then continued responding to the other’s words, “I am Zhou Zhengchun of Jingguo Country, here under the order of Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable to support the Great Zhou Kingdom. Here’s a letter from Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable for proof. Please forward it to Senior Tianyi Divine Venerable for verification!”

Upon hearing this, Li Chenxing, who had been indifferent monts ago, imdiately changed his expression, exclaiming, “What? You were arranged by Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable!”

Then he stared at Zhou Chun in disbelief.

After locking eyes with Zhou Chun’s calm and unwavering gaze, his expression beca serious and he solemnly said, “If that’s the case, then please follow to et the Second Elder!”

He then gestured for soone to open an entrance in the formation, inviting Zhou Chun and his companions inside the gate.

After entering the Jiuyuan Sword Sect gate, Zhou Chun looked around, seeing everywhere sword qi was intimidating among the thousands of mountains, with Sword Sect disciples practicing and dueling swords.

“According to ancestral rules, the sect gate inside is permanently guarded by no more than five thousand outer sect disciples, five hundred inner sect disciples, and eighty-one true disciples. The capable remains to diligently practice the Sword Dao, while the weak go out to gather resources for the Sword Sect!”

“Due to the war between the two races, more than half of both inner and outer sect disciples and true disciples have gone to the frontlines to kill enemies and hone their swordsmanship, thus substituting many ritorious individuals to return to the sect for cultivation, which makes the situation a bit disorganized now!”

Seeing Zhou Chun’s gaze linger over the disciples inside the gate, Li Chenxing, seemingly worried he underestimated the sect, proactively explained.

The outer sect disciples he ntioned aren’t just Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators; many Foundation Establishnt cultivators are included!

In fact, the standard for outer sect disciples within the Jiuyuan Sword Sect gate is extrely high; any Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator over forty years who fails in Foundation Establishnt will be expelled.

Moreover, any Foundation Establishnt cultivator failing the inner sect disciple assessnt or not eting Sword Dao cultivation standards will still only be an outer sect disciple!

However, with eighty-one true disciples, it’s true that most of the ti there aren’t enough Golden Core Stage cultivators, so so exceptionally powerful Purple Mansion Phase cultivators may be promoted early as true disciples!

Indeed, most Jiuyuan Sword Sect inner sect disciples are Purple Mansion Phase cultivators!

From such stringent conditions, one can understand the strength of this top-three sect in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
