Chapter 553 - Chapter 553: Chapter 545: Unconventional Methods and Orthodoxy (2/2)

Facing so many experts in the Immortal Warrior Realm, Qin Niu felt immense pressure.

…

“Gang Leader, may I ask you some questions about cultivation?”

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Niu decided to seek guidance from the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

“As long as I know, I’ll tell you everything, just ask!”

Xue Qiuhe was very kind to these outstanding juniors.

“Everyone can cultivate to the Immortal Scholar Realm without joining the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, so why do so many Immortal Warriors still scramble to gain a lucky chance to enter the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect?”

By now, the number of Immortal Warriors present had probably exceeded two hundred.

More were arriving continuously after successfully passing through the Immortal Gate, transported into this garden.

“Though one can cultivate to the Immortal Warrior, even Immortal Envoy or Great Immortal Envoy Realm by taking unorthodox paths, there have been talented freaks who cultivated to the Immortal Monarch Realm. For example, the Immortal Monarch of the Longevity Immortal Sect, who took such an unorthodox path.

It’s said that back in the day, he used the sky as his blanket and the earth as his bed, accompanied only by the mountains, without joining any Immortal Sect. Relying solely on his own exploration, he cultivated to the Immortal Monarch Realm.

Later on, he even managed to establish the Longevity Immortal Sect.

Unfortunately, he offended the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect and ended up bringing disaster upon his Sect.

If the Immortal Monarch of Longevity hadn’t perished back then, today his cultivation could have outstripped everyone’s, and he might have even stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm.”

The Black Tiger Gang Leader was quite knowledgeable about these historical events.

Qin Niu had long known that the Longevity Immortal Sect was destroyed by the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect.

That the Immortal Monarch of Longevity took an unorthodox route without ever attending an Immortal Sect for study was a surprise to him.

“I dare say, the talent of the Immortal Monarch of Longevity was absolutely one of the best in the world. However, when facing the massacre by the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect, the combat prowess he exhibited was rather pitiful to see. Although many cultivation techniques aren’t meant for combat, their ineffectiveness in battle.

But once one has reached the Immortal Scholar Realm, the discrepancy between combat and non-combat cultivation techniques is almost entirely obliterated.

The terrible combat prowess of the Immortal Monarch of Longevity probably has to do with him taking the unorthodox path and not cultivating powerful spells.

Several factors determine the combat strength of an Immortal Monarch, including spells, pets, magical treasure gear, and the depth of mana. The mana of the Immortal Monarch of Longevity wasn’t weak, but his gear and spells were his biggest weaknesses.

As for other auxiliary items that could enhance combat power, such as elixirs and talismans, it goes without saying that he couldn’t compare to those from the orthodox Immortal Sects at all.

We desperately vie for lucky chances to enter the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect so that we can systematically learn the orthodox spells and techniques of alchemy and tool refinement. Also, if we encounter problems during cultivation, we could have guidance from Immortals, which can help us avoid detours.

Furthermore, the cultivation environment of the Immortal Sect is also highly desirable.

Discovering a small secret realm with merely thrice the concentration of spirit qi in the outer world is already against the heavens. However, in the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, the best Blessed Lands can have a hundred times the spirit qi concentration of the outside world. And it can also improve one’s speed of gaining enlightenment.

Lastly, having a great tree to lean on provides good shade. By entering the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, you also become a member of it, no longer needing to fear being bullied by other Immortal Sects.”

This is akin to joining a powerful organization, having a strong backing.

With so many benefits, no wonder everyone is so eager and competitive to get into the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.

“Are spells only available in Immortal Sects?”

Qin Niu asked curiously.

Could Bei Bing’s grandfather draw Invisibility Talismans because he understood the invisibility spell?
