Chapter 755: It's All Thanks To You
In a private chamber in the Boundless Palace, Venerable Wen Yuan sat behind his desk and let out a long sigh and remarked, "A favor owed to others weighs heavier than Mount Tai…"
Chu Liang sat obediently before him and remained very silent.
Just moments ago, Chu Liang had experienced much struggle to finally arrange a meeting with the three representatives of the War Tomb Mountain, the Great Lunar Dao Sect, and the Yushan Academy. Among them, the leader of the Yushan Academy even came personally, which was a rather great gesture of sincerity.
After much effort, Chu Liang had finally persuaded Yun Chaoxian, Feng Chaoyang, and Zhang Chen to leave. Then, without wasting a moment, he rushed to Venerable Wen Yuan to report everything he had learned. Obviously, this meeting with Venerable Wen Yuan was precisely why the three immortal sects had sought him out in the first place.
The War Tomb Mountain was an immortal sect that had upheld a cultivation legacy rooted in the Dao of Martial Arts for many years. Unlike the Great Astral Sect, they specialized in battle formations, seamlessly integrating beast-taming techniques and formation arts into their martial techniques.
Among cultivators, it was widely believed that in a one-on-one duel, a Great Astral Sect disciple would have the upper hand against a War Tomb Mountain disciple. However, in a ten-on-ten battle, their strengths would be evenly matched. And in a large-scale battle of a hundred versus a hundred, War Tomb Mountain would have the upper hand.
Throughout history, many of the dynasty’s greatest generals hailed from War Tomb Mountain, leading to frequent interactions between the sect and the Yu Dynasty’s military.
Despite its strengths in battle formations, War Tomb Mountain had long lacked powerful individual cultivators. Therefore, they never stood out among the immortal sects. Qiu Fenglie, the current sect leader of War Tomb Mountain, had ascended to the peak of the seventh realm, making him the strongest leader in the sect’s history.
With their overwhelming numbers and highly coordinated battle formations, the War Tomb Mountain was far more powerful than the records suggested. They were undoubtedly one of the strongest among the Divine Nine and Terrestrial Ten.
They wouldn’t have pursued this if no positions were available. But with a spot in the Terrestrial Ten now open, they naturally sought to advance. Qiu Fenglie, as ambitious as ever, even promised the Mount Shu Sect generous rewards for their support.
As for the Great Lunar Dao Sect, which Feng Chaoyang had recommended, it was really supported by the Celestial King Sect, Celestial Pivot Pavilion, and Sea King Sect.
