Chapter 1223 - 341: Cloud Descending Sect Incident (4)
The result is that this monster has to be controlled to death, which seems utterly ridiculous, yet Yuchi finds it quite normal. In fact, he thinks that without such occurrences, it would be abnormal, and there’s actually nothing to fear from the Third State itself.
Why is that?
Because resources are already tightly controlled, Yuchi temporarily closed the book as he looked at the nearby disciples of the Cloud Descending Sect who were communicating playfully.
"The class division is extremely strict."
"In the past, I thought there was a chasm between cultivators and mortals—a chasm that couldn’t be crossed—but now, looking at it broadly, the gap between cultivators and mortals is just a joke."
"I, Yuchi, spent millions to become a cultivator."
"Even though a million is a terrifying figure under normal circumstances, in the state capital, just taking a bite of meat costs a fortune."
"So now, looking at it, the first real chasm in this world is between Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators."
Such things are like wealth, with a small number of people holding most of the gold and silver, fabricating a prosperous age, much like the fishes in the ocean: there’s a size disparity between small fish and smaller fish, but compared to a blue whale, it’s not even in the same realm.
When a cultivator finally reaches the Divinity Transformation Stage, the cost of cultivation sharply increases.
So if there are Nascent Soul Stage cultivators continuously trying to reach the same realm, how could the Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators possibly allow that?
The annual supply of elixirs and spirit stones is limited; if everyone were a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, there wouldn’t be enough to go around.
Thus, in a usual sect, once someone reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, they will encounter a terrifying resistance.
This resistance comes not only from the surrounding elixirs but also from the cultivators above them, who firmly shut the door to the Divinity Transformation Stage, to prevent this world from having many Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouses. Ultimately, this is because resources are limited, once you reach a certain stage...
No greed, no sainthood.
"Thus, looking from this perspective, below the Nascent Soul Stage, they are all children. The resources children consume are so minimal, but once reaching above the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s like a small fish suddenly leaping to the level of a blue whale. It’s akin to a carp leaping over the dragon gate, but the process is certainly extremely painful."
"Otherwise, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would be seen as naturally gifted beings, powerful and terrifying figures, truly brought to their knees for these elixirs."
"Whether it’s the Celestial Craft Workshop, the Four Major Institutions in the state capital, or some ancient sects, some new super sects, they’ve collectively forged a strong blockade against Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Not because Nascent Soul Stage cultivators aren’t capable—after all, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, who’s not a genius?"
"It’s mainly because they’re enforcing the blockade."
Gods exist, but gods must be greedy. Otherwise, how could they become gods? Why can’t others become gods? Could there be only one genius in the world?
How is that possible?
Thus, why are gods gods, not because they are inherently great, but because they were born earlier, occupying the spot, then tearing down the bridge after crossing the river.
It’s the classic case of flipping the table after being full.
"Their path was straightforward without any obstruction, yet once they were full, they flipped the table."
"After flipping the table, they throw some corn on the ground for others to peck at, elegantly saying the path to godhood isn’t easy."
"Ultimately, it’s just interests taking precedence."
Yuchi picked his nose.
He’s already seen such things with utter clarity in his past life, so the clearer he sees it, the more painful it is, the more painful it is, the more helpless he feels. Unexpectedly, upon arriving in this world, it’s the same scenario: someone is still suppressing from the front, someone is still controlling the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
"Nascent Soul Stage cultivators should be more painful than mortals."
"Yuan Xuan..."
Yuchi thought of this two-faced Yuan Xuan, an Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who should have been a very composed existence. Yet what happened?
The result is that every year she has to go to Cuncha City to see if any masters arrive, and after seeing Yuchi come over last year, she panicked.
In the end, she actually gave money for Yuchi to leave?
Know that she’s an Nascent Soul Stage cultivator! An Nascent Soul Stage cultivator isn’t even as calm as a Golden Core Stage cultivator, she should be able to feel the formidable resistance filled throughout the world.
She’s afraid.
Yuchi nodded, "Yes, Yuan Xuan is afraid; she’s trembling; she’s trembling in the darkness, her cultivation unable to break through, surrounded by entities wanting to stop her cultivation, desperately holding onto Cuncha City, just for the hope of reaching Divinity Transformation Stage, hence making the Great Sect Leader extremely flustered."
"Otherwise, if she were slightly calm, if she had the good mindset of a Golden Core Stage cultivator, like my father-in-law, not too powerful, but with an excellent attitude, then when I arrived in Cuncha City, I could have never obtained gold and silver so easily. It’s impossible."
