Chapter 221: Chapter 216: Order of Mobilization by Gang Leader Bai_i

Rumors have spread in great detail, claiming that the Hundred-Tempering Child, upon reaching a hundred years of age and deteriorating to the limit, would place himself in a coffin. Buried alive for three years, then upon breaking out of the coffin three years later, he would emerge as a child again.
As for whether this is true or false, the common folk are entirely clueless.
The world respectfully refers to the Hundred-Tempering Child as the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Master.
The Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect is a fairly dominant Immortal Sect that has been growing stronger over the years.
As for the infighting and power struggles among the sects within its jurisdiction, the Immortal Sect generally doesn’t interfere.
Competition leads to becoming ever stronger.
Some Immortal Sects even give out two or three Sect Founding Orders annually, setting certain conditions to attain them. Those powerful families or individuals who emerge victorious in the competition would be rewarded with a Sect Founding Order.
With a Sect Founding Order, one can legally establish their own sect within the territory of an Immortal Sect.
Some might then ask, if the Immortal Sect doesn’t intervene in the clashes and slaughters between sects, what use is there in having a Sect Founding Order?
A legally recognized sect is naturally useful.
There is an opportunity to receive various high-level cultivation resource rewards from the Immortal Sect, such as Immortal Pills, Immortal Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, Immortal Artifacts. Obtaining any one of these treasures can allow a sect to quickly rise to a higher level in an extremely short amount of time.
Moreover, the stronger the sect, the more Immortal Pills, Immortal Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and Immortal Artifacts they obtain, the closer they get to becoming true Immortal Masters.
This is a process of accumulating power to become stronger.
Once enough is accumulated, there is a chance to undergo a transformation and step through the Immortal Gate to become a true Immortal Master.
This is the ultimate pursuit that all mortals dream of.
Becoming a disciple of an Immortal Sect is not what many people imagine—that one is born with a superior immortal root and then recruited by the Immortal Sect, breezing through with cheats and directly cultivating immortal techniques.
That is a dream.
In this world, to become an Immortal Master, even if one’s parents are the leaders of an Immortal Sect, one must still cultivate step by step on their own.
Only those who meet the recruitment conditions can be accepted into the Immortal Sect.
It is not a matter of being born with a superior immortal root and then being able to practice cultivation directly.
Ordinary mortals, even with good talent, simply cannot cultivate with bestowed immortal techniques if they do not have the means.
It’s like building a house—without a solid foundation, it’s doomed to be a castle in the sky, an illusory dream.
Furthermore, competition within an Immortal Sect is even more intense.
Each disciple of an Immortal Sect will consume vast amounts of cultivation resources, and it’s impossible to waste these precious resources on a mere mortal.
If the child of any Immortal Sect leader could directly enter the Sect for cultivation upon birth, that Immortal Sect would certainly not last long.
It wouldn’t take a thousand years for it to be annihilated by other Immortal Sects, leaving nothing behind.
The Black Tiger Gang is, after all, a legitimate gang and Qin Niu is unclear about its ranking among the more than a thousand sects under the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.
But one thing is for certain—the higher-ups of the Black Tiger Gang are definitely concerned about their reputation.
If they weren’t pushed into a comer, they would never have issued this mobilization order.
This indicates that the enemy is overwhelmingly powerful, that the Black Tiger Gang is finding it difficult to resist, and perhaps even risking the foundation of the gang itself, leading them to lower their pride to call all relatively powerful subjects to join the army and ward off the formidable foe.
Qin Niu couldn’t help but think again of Zhang Banzui’s words, “When disaster arises, the Insect Masters thrive.”
What is meant by disaster?
It is the dread of war that constitutes a disaster.
Zhang Banzui was definitely referring to the war between the Black Tiger Gang and other sects.
The Nine Insect Gang is truly ambitious, seemingly wanting to expand and strengthen its influence!
It had just annexed the Seven-Star Sect a few years ago.
Now, it is targeting the Black Tiger Gang.
The strongest aspect of the Black Tiger Gang should be Beast Taming.
