Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven
#1260 - Deterrence and coercion
Jun Wuxie's voice was loud, like thunder, echoing continuously in the sky above Zu Lian Village.
Deep within Zu Lian Village, there was no movement at first, but after a moment, many figures appeared one after another.
These were all elderly people of considerable age, but their energy and spirit were very full.
Soon, this group of people arrived at the village entrance, numbering several dozen.
"Elder of the Foundation Hall of the Refinement Sect greets Sect Master!"
These people stepped forward and saluted.
Jun Wuxie did not speak, but only stared at them with deep eyes.
These Supreme Saint Realm experts, not receiving a response, could only maintain their bowed posture.
"The people of the Pei family are so tyrannical, disobedient, and disregard sect rules and precepts, which cannot be without your indulgence! Is it that the years have been long, and you have forgotten that you are people of the Refinement Sect?"
"Sect Master, please calm your anger, we dare not forget!"
These foundation experts knew they were in the wrong, and this matter was indeed their problem.
Facing Jun Wuxie's questioning, they had no reason to defend themselves.
"Since you took refuge here in those years, isolated from the world, unable to return to the main world, you have become hopeless, haven't you? What is the meaning of foundation experts? It is not just to come out to defend against enemies when the sect is facing life and death. Usually, if there is anything that endangers the stability of the sect, you need to be responsible and shoulder your responsibilities, instead of turning a blind eye because of your small circles, drifting along, living like a bunch of useless people!"
"Sect Master, aren't you going too far with your words?"
These foundation experts could not bear such sharp and insulting words.
They were all experts of the Supreme Saint Realm after all. A Supreme cannot be humiliated. This is a conventional rule in the cultivation world, not to humiliate a Supreme.
"Too far? You know best what your mentality has been like these years! Like those foundation experts of the Pei family, they unconditionally support the descendants of the Pei family, have you ever objected? As foundation experts of the sect, do you have your own stand and principles?"
Jun Wuxie's words were very heavy, sharp as knives, directly piercing the hearts of these foundation experts.
He could see that these foundation experts of the Refinement Sect all had a decadent mentality in their hearts.
Perhaps it was because they were trapped for generations, unable to see the hope of going out, which led to problems with their mentality, and many rules became lax and uncared for.
The foundation experts listened, feeling very harsh and uncomfortable, but could not find words to defend themselves, and could only bow their heads and be lectured.
Thinking that they, these Supreme Saint Realm experts, were being reprimanded in public by a young man of low realm, they felt very unconvinced in their hearts.
However, this young man was their Sect Master, who had obtained the approval of the sect's sacred artifact. There was no way to disobey.
"If Senior Shen Lian saw you like this, I think he might personally execute you bunch of bastards!" Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie's lips curled into a sneer, "What? Unconvinced? Want to spar with this Sect Master?"
After speaking, he looked at his master, Mu Ciyin.
Mu Ciyin, of course, unconditionally supported him.
She took a few steps forward with her sword, facing the dozens of foundation experts, and said: "If you are not convinced, feel free to try. Don't say I won't give you a chance, you can all come together."
Her clear and cold voice was full of confidence, and a powerful pressure spread out, with sword intent sweeping in all directions.
Everyone was shocked. This woman in white beside the Sect Master was too strong.
She actually wanted to face dozens of Supreme Saint Realms alone!
Could she really do it?
The dozens of foundation experts of the Supreme Saint Realm also changed their expressions slightly, feeling despised, but daring not to speak out in anger.
Because, they felt a very dangerous aura in the other party's sword intent, which they could not resist.
Just how strong was the woman in white beside the Sect Master?
At this moment, they had an answer in their hearts.
It was very likely that she was a Primordial Saint Realm!
If it was really a Primordial Saint Realm, then they would only be looking for abuse if they went up, and it was impossible to be an opponent.
Among the Saint Realms, the further back, the greater the difference in strength between different realms.
"Sect Master, please calm your anger, we dare not."
They hurriedly admitted defeat, lowering their posture even further.
Originally, the status of foundation experts was detached. Even if they were not as good as the Sect Master, the difference was not much.
If several or more foundation experts joined forces, the Sect Master would have to give face and would not choose to come hard.
But Jun Wuxie would not. He just wanted to come hard, otherwise he would not be able to deter these old foxes at all.
With his master Mu Ciyin by his side, and the Eternal Sacred Furnace in hand, what was so difficult about suppressing these foundation experts.
"You all remember well, the Supreme Saint Realm is not that important in my eyes. Moreover, you have only used shortcuts to forcibly cultivate your physical cultivation realm to the Supreme Saint Realm. Your strength is far inferior to a Supreme Saint Realm who has cultivated normally, and your refining techniques are far from this level! When you return to the main world in the future, if you can abide by your duties and fulfill your responsibilities, everything will be better in the future; if you have other thoughts, this Sect Master does not mind abolishing you and expelling you from the sect!"
The reason why Jun Wuxie could see their situation was by using the special effect of the Eternal Sacred Furnace, which could clearly sense the level of the original refining energy in these people's bodies.
These foundation experts, in the way of refining, only have Saint-level quasi-seventh realm. If corresponding to martial arts, it is only equivalent to the early stage of entering the Saint Ancestor Realm.
"Yes, we remember."
These foundation experts agreed verbally, but their hearts were full of anger.
They felt that the Sect Master should not have given them deterrence and a show of force in front of the entire village, and scolded them like this. He should have given them face.
Of course, Jun Wuxie knew that these foundation experts could not really be convinced, and it was inevitable that they would have resentment in their hearts.
He didn't care much. He would try his best to subdue these people if he could, and he had already taken action for it.
As for whether they could adjust their mentality, whether they would obey him as the Sect Master, and whether they would be outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, it was up to them.
Pseudo-Supreme Saint Realm, quasi-seventh realm Saint Artifact Master, although they are very valuable talents.
But he is not indispensable. After all, there are many such experts in the Refinement Sect.
Just the current Deputy Sect Master Jian Yang, and hundreds of elders, each of whom is a talented person, with no low achievements in refining. Although they are not in the quasi-seventh realm, they are infinitely close to the sixth realm, and they will definitely break through in the future.
Jian Yang's level is even higher, more powerful than these foundation experts, and has already stepped into the seventh realm.
The others in the Refinement Sect were silent, not daring to breathe loudly, and their eyes looking at Jun Wuxie were even more awe-inspiring than before.
This Sect Master was too strong, and even dozens of foundation experts were suppressed to be obedient.
In the history of the Refinement Sect, there were not many Sect Masters with such power, and they could be counted on five fingers.
"Jian Yang, go to the depths of the village and wake up all the sleeping foundation experts. There is no need to sleep anymore."
Jun Wuxie estimated that he would not stay here for too long. Solving the problem of the Su Feng tribe, and then subduing the Golden Armor and Thunder Calling tribes, would not take too long.
As for other things, perhaps the Fire Region would take some time.
Regarding the mysterious Fire Region, he would naturally have to take a trip to investigate.
Sooner or later, it would not take too long. There was no difference between the foundation experts of the Refinement Sect waking up now and waking up after a while.
"Sect Master, the sect has old Sect Masters and old foundations from extremely ancient times who have sealed themselves in sleep. Due to the long span of time, we later generations dare not enter their sealed land without authorization, so we do not know the situation."
Speaking of this, Jian Yang's expression was solemn, "This subordinate is worried that if their situation is very bad, and their lives are about to run out, waking them up directly like this will accelerate their aging, and they will not have much time left…"
"If that is really the case, this Sect Master has his own way to solve the problem. Jian Yang, you don't need to worry, just follow this Sect Master's instructions to wake them up."
"Yes."
Jian Yang no longer hesitated. He now had considerable confidence in the abilities of this young Sect Master.
The young Sect Master had given him too much shock. Being able to obtain the approval of the Eternal Sacred Furnace, and having the strong support of such a powerful female expert who was suspected to be in the Primordial Saint Realm, how could such a person be judged by common sense?
Since the Sect Master said so, he must have absolute certainty.
Jian Yang quickly left, heading to the depths of the village, first waking up the normally sleeping foundation experts, and then coming to a special place.
There was a mountain peak here, very steep.
Around the mountain peak were shallow pools of water, and there was a cave under the mountain, which could be entered from the water surface.
Jian Yang jumped up, quickly tapping the water surface with his toes, and steadily rushed into the cave, stepping on the water surface to continue deeper.
Soon, he came to a piece of land inside the cave.
There was a stone door here, which had long been sealed by the years, covered with dust and full of cobwebs.
Jian Yang stood in front of the stone door for a moment, then swept away the cobwebs on the door, shook off the dust, revealing the true appearance of the stone door.
He put his hand on the door, and after a while, a strange feeling surged into his heart.
The dormant fire of the artifact path in his body poured into his palm along the meridians, and then injected into the door.
The runes on the door slowly lit up, gradually becoming brilliant. They were being activated, and the seal's restrictions were being disintegrated.
In this forbidden small world, there were very few special places where the law could be used.
For example, here, and the places where those foundation experts were sleeping, the law could be used. Because of this, they could seal themselves in sleep.
This was the case here. Not only was the law not forbidden, but also pure life energy would overflow from time to time, so the old Sect Masters and old foundations would choose this place.
However, because the life energy here was limited, only the first two generations of experts who had made great contributions to the sect could sleep here. Later experts were not allowed to sleep here.
After all the runes on the door lit up, the entire seal formation completely disintegrated.
Jian Yang's heart beat a little faster, and he was very uneasy.
He didn't know what kind of scene would greet him when he pushed open the door.
Steadying himself, he pushed open the stone door amidst a rumbling sound.
A wave of ancient time rushed towards him, impacting his physical body and soul like the surging river of time.
Jian Yang instantly felt an indescribable sensation, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow and desolation at the ruthlessness of time.
Time is merciless, taking away too much and burying even more.
How many people in this world try every possible means and method to fight against time?
Seemingly holding back the years, but in reality, it is not so.
Those years spent in slumber, for the sleeper, are essentially a blank space in life.
It's just equivalent to skipping over a period of time.
