Chapter 195: In 195 BC, in fact, the top ten was an amulet_1
When the topic of Sky Mist Valley came up, the seventh junior brother and the little junior sister both fell into silence.
A major sect with a thousand members was an enormous entity to Seven Star Gate, capable of suffocating everyone with its pressure.
Otherwise, the eldest senior brother wouldn’t have been so desperate to forcefully practice his cultivation to the point of deviating.
"Sect Head Senior Brother, why don’t we go and find the Supervisory Academy?" the seventh junior brother hesitated for a moment and said, "Even though the senior brother has comprehended our sect’s mental method, who knows how much time it will take to fully master it. Sky Mist Valley could come at any time, and the three of us can’t stop them..."
"We can’t count on the Supervisory Academy," Duge said, "Why do you think Sky Mist Valley is so arrogant, daring to openly intercept our master on the road and even resort to lethal force? Because they know the Supervisory Academy won’t make a big fuss for just a few of us. Drive us away or let us die in an accident, use a little bit of money, and Seven Star Gate will become a sub-sect of Sky Mist Valley."
"There’s not a shred of justice left!" the little junior sister said indignantly as she kicked a stone by the roadside.
"Little junior sister, if I were the Supervisory Academy, I would also choose to help Sky Mist Valley, who can offer benefits, rather than Seven Star Gate who would cause trouble for them," Duge said, "In the Cultivation World, strength is respected. To survive, we must first toughen ourselves up. Let them realize that chewing on this rock might break their teeth and splatter their blood, and naturally, nobody will dare to bully us."
"Senior brother, your words are true, but now we’re down to just three of us," the seventh junior brother said, "I heard that the Valley Master of Sky Mist Valley is in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Golden Core. If successful, he will become a true cultivator."
In this world, forming a Golden Core meant one could harness the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one’s own use, have endless spiritual power within the body, and be capable of Sword Flight. In the eyes of cultivators, forming a core signified the start of a true path of cultivation;
And in the eyes of ordinary people, Golden Core True Men could basically be considered Land Immortals.
Duge said nonchalantly, "He hasn’t succeeded yet! As long as he hasn’t, there’s a chance for us. Maybe he won’t break through and will just die in the attempt!"
The seventh junior brother looked at Duge, opened his mouth, but didn’t continue the conversation. Clearly, he took Duge’s words as self-comfort.
