I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 285: Heavenly Sword Sect and Mountain Beast Sect (Part 1)

Speaking of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it is equally famous and unique among the other sects in Dali.

This is what sets Dali apart. As the most prosperous country in the Upper Cloud Province's cultivation world, Dali is close to the Central Cloud Province, resulting in numerous cultivation sects with their own unique methods. It is not comparable to the three sects of Zhao, which are more like a mishmash.

Specifically, the Heavenly Sword Sect, which focuses on sword cultivation, is known for its male disciples who primarily cultivate sword techniques. It is said that each disciple must undergo a test of their temperament upon entering the sect, and only those who meet the requirements can cultivate.

Another famous sect in Dali is the Mountain Beast Sect, which specializes in beast taming. Those who wish to enter the sect must endure the torment of insects crawling on their bodies during the initiation test.

Among them, there is one particularly unique sect, the Endless Pleasure Sect. They are known for their dual cultivation techniques and have relatively low requirements for spiritual roots. However, both men and women must have above-average appearances, which has deterred many from joining this sect. It is said that when practitioners reach a certain level of cultivation, the sect will assign them a dual cultivation partner to cultivate the great Dao together. This topic has been enduring in the Upper Cloud Province.

As for the original three major sects of Zhao, as long as one's aptitude is passable, whether they have a face full of freckles or a dark personality, they can enter the sect without any restrictions.

Of course, it is also because there are many cultivators in Dali that can support these sects with their unique cultivation methods. If the three sects of Zhao were to adopt such methods, it would not take long for them to be left with no successors. After all, these unique cultivation methods not only require certain spiritual roots but also have other limitations.

In addition to the outstanding Heavenly Sword Sect, Mountain Beast Sect, and Endless Pleasure Sect, there are also five or six larger sects in Dali. In terms of strength alone, these sects can dominate the Upper Cloud Province.

However, because Dali is close to the Central Cloud Province, while enjoying the benefits, they also have to guard against the influence of the Central Cloud Province. Therefore, most of their energy is focused on the Central Cloud Province. After all, compared to the other four countries in the Upper Cloud Province, Dali is powerful, but compared to the Central Cloud Province, it is weak and in a disadvantaged position.

There is also another reason: the cultivators in Dali are not united and are all proud and arrogant. They consider themselves superior to the other four countries in the Upper Cloud Province and most cultivators have the idea of settling down in the Central Cloud Province in the future. Therefore, it is even less likely for them to invade the other four countries.

Previously, when dealing with the Hundred Treasures Tower, it was the collaboration between the Star Moon Daoist from the Chu Kingdom and Tian Yanzi from the Endless Pleasure Sect in Dali that led to the intervention of several sects in Dali. Under such power, how could the Hundred Treasures Tower resist? If it weren't for the Five Elements Restriction, it would have been wiped out in the Upper Cloud Province long ago.

Tian Yanzi, who is in the Gold Core stage, is a true pill cultivator who has the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future. However, he was born in the Endless Pleasure Sect, which surprised many cultivators when they first learned about it.

But this person entered the Endless Pleasure Sect from a young age, and he seems to be an exception in the sect. It seems that he does not need a dual cultivation partner, and it is unknown what he went through to become a Gold Core cultivator. Now, he is the elder of the Endless Pleasure Sect and the backbone of Dali when facing the Central Cloud Province.

Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu walked through the Fushou District, and they occasionally saw disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect carrying giant swords on their backs. Lin Qing knew that they were disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Heavenly Sword Sect not only excels in sword techniques but also requires its disciples to keep their swords with them at all times during cultivation. Therefore, they are easily distinguishable from other cultivators who store their magical tools in storage bags.

These days, the disciples of the Tianjian Sect are all well-built, walking through the market with unwavering focus and a serious expression. When other cultivators see them, they all avoid them from a distance. Although Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu are powerful, they don't want to cause trouble, so they have all avoided these people early on.

In addition to the disciples of the Tianjian Sect, there are also many disciples of the Mountain Beast Sect in the market, easily recognizable by the spirit beast bags hanging from their waists. After all, although the Fushou Market is opened by the Tianjian Sect, it is not far from the Mountain Beast Sect, and disciples from the Mountain Beast Sect often come here. The Tianjian Sect also welcomes them.

Because the Fushou Market is so large, although there are many disciples from the Tianjian Sect and the Mountain Beast Sect, they only make up a small portion of the overall number. There are more cultivators like Lin Qing, who came from unknown origins, walking through the market.

Lin Qing is currently exploring the market with the intention of finding opportunities, so he is being very careful.

Surprisingly, he actually found several rare spirit herbs and bought them without hesitation.

As he was about to continue his exploration after leaving a shop, suddenly there was a commotion not far away, accompanied by the sound of clashing metal and stone, as if a conflict had occurred.

Looking around, there were already many people gathered, forming a sizable crowd.

Lin Qing was curious and walked over with Lin Yuanwu to take a look.

Before they could squeeze in, they heard someone next to them say that a Foundation Building cultivator from the Tianjian Sect had clashed with a Foundation Building cultivator from the Mountain Beast Sect, and they had started fighting on the spot. The person in charge of managing the market for the Tianjian Sect didn't come to stop them for some unknown reason.

While listening to these words, Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu squeezed in. Although it made others unhappy, no one dared to stop Lin Qing, who had reached the Foundation Building stage.

After squeezing in, Lin Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Sure enough, it was a fight between cultivators from the Tianjian Sect and the Mountain Beast Sect. The one holding a nearly body-length, silver-white sword was a cultivator from the Tianjian Sect, with strength at the early stage of Foundation Building. On the other side, there were seven or eight spirit beast bags hanging from the cultivator from the Mountain Beast Sect, indicating their strength at the mid-stage of Foundation Building.

According to reason, the disciples of the Mountain Beast Sect should be stronger and have the upper hand, but at this moment, it was the cultivator from the Tianjian Sect who had the advantage.

Despite being at the early stage of Foundation Building, the cultivator from the Tianjian Sect had an incredibly sturdy long sword in his hand, capable of withstanding any spirit beast released by the Mountain Beast Sect cultivator. Moreover, he could occasionally counterattack.

At this moment, a heavily injured green praying mantis at the Qi Refining stage was resting on the side, while a golden snake at the Qi Refining stage, which was also unharmed, floated in the air and launched continuous attacks, but it still couldn't break through the defense of the cultivator from the Tianjian Sect.

After Lin Qing and Lin Yuanwu squeezed in, more and more people gathered around, but there were no market cultivators coming to stop the fight.

Lin Qing thought to himself that this was probably intentional on the part of the cultivators from the Tianjian Sect who managed the market. After all, he had also heard that although the two sects appeared to be on good terms, they often had conflicts. Now, in the market, seeing a fellow cultivator from their own sect who, despite having lower strength, had the upper hand, the cultivators from the Tianjian Sect naturally wouldn't come to stop it. On the contrary, they wanted the cultivators from the Mountain Beast Sect to embarrass themselves.

The cultivators from the Mountain Beast Sect, seeing that the cultivator from the Tianjian Sect was handling the situation with ease and more and more people were gathering without anyone stopping them, naturally understood this point.
