Chapter 464: Karma

Chapter 463 – Cause and Effect
Back when he was in the Immortal Cloud City realm, Tong Zhongqiu rarely cared about the affairs of the surrounding sects, as these were usually handled by Gong Guanzhi.

As a result, his memories of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect were still stuck in a long time ago, with the sect’s gongfu crippled, and the highest cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Qi Practicing Realm.

Even this time when they came to the Endless Sea together, Tong Zhongqiu only slightly looked at the Yuanchen Sword Sect for a few moments and found that the Yuanchen Sword Sect really did not have any major changes.

However, this was the normal phenomenon, after all, when the sect’s gong method was flawed, it was very difficult for the sect to go out too far, and to be able to stay put and not experience a decline could all be said to be well led.

“Who broke through?” Tong Zhongqiu looked towards Gong Guanzhi and said in a deep voice.

The Harmonization Realm, how difficult it was to be born amongst the Yuan Chen Sword Sect. From what Tong Zhongqiu had seen that day, those two late stage of the Orifices Practicing Realm were not young at all.

One of them was even nearing the end of his lifespan, with a loss of essence and spirit, and could no longer live for several years.

Under such circumstances, no one should have broken through to the Harmonization Realm, and even if those two people tried desperately and sacrificed their lives to try to break through, in the end, there would not be a second possibility other than the end of death.

Breaking through to the Harmonization Realm was not something that could be accomplished without risking one’s life. If it was possible to change one’s life without risking one’s life, then the status of the Harmonization Realm wouldn’t be so lofty.

Even amongst the huge Thousand Feathers Alliance, the status of the Harmonization Realm was transcendent, much higher than the Practice Realm.

On the path of martial cultivation, the result of not wanting to have a life might really end up not having one.

“Named Chen Fei, this is his information.”

Gong Guanzhi took out a jade slip and handed it to Tong Zhongqiu. Before coming, Gong Guanzhi had already ordered people to prepare the information, after all, for Chen Fei, Gong Guanzhi himself was full of curiosity.

Tong Zhongqiu took the jade slip and probed his mind into it, and a moment later, Tong Zhongqiu’s gaze moved away from the jade slip.

“From the time he worshipped the Yuan Chen Sword Sect until now, not even ten years, he went from a small martial artist at the Calcined Bone Realm to the Harmonization Realm today?”

Tong Zhongqiu looked up at Gong Guanzhi, and although his eyes did not change, Gong Guanzhi immediately felt his heart sink.

Gong Guanzhi understood that Tong Zhongqiu was questioning why, with such talent, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had never noticed it before, such a big thing, if Gong Guanzhi knew nothing about it, then Gong Guanzhi, the Sect Leader, had done, inevitably, some failure.

“He hid his own cultivation, what he showed to the outside world, is only the early stage of the Realm of Practicing the Orifices.” Gong Guan Zhi hurriedly whispered.

Cultivating for a few years, breaking through from the Calcined Bone Realm to the early stage of the Orifice Training Realm, this natural talent was naturally excellent, but at least it was still within the acceptable range.

After all, back when the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s true disciple competition was held, Chen Fei had come into his own and fought the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s second true disciple, Shen Tu Cang, to a draw.

Everyone, at that time, could tell that Chen Fei’s natural talent was not bad, but it was only not bad. After all, if one wanted to break through from the Viscera Realm to the Orifice Realm, it was easy to get stuck for a few years, or even fail outright, and it was not unknown.

As a result, Chen Fei managed to break through after a year. However, because of the previous performance in the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the crowd already had an expectation in their hearts, so they quickly accepted it as well.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was not lacking in the Realm of Practicing the Vortex, and although Chen Fei had displayed superior natural talent, since he had worshipped in the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, it was estimated that his highest achievement in his life had already been destined, and that was the late Realm of Practicing the Vortex.

And with the Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s resources, if Chen Fei wanted to cultivate to the late stage of the Nerve Conditioning Realm, it would already be a few decades later.

At that time, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was being distracted by the sudden appearance of the Divine Flame Sect, and soon stopped paying attention to Chen Fei, and after that, even though Chen Fei defeated Shentu Cang in front of a lot of people, it was actually just like that.

In the eyes of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, it only reaffirmed Chen Fei’s extraordinary natural talent, but that was all.

“With such talent, if you don’t hide it, you probably won’t be able to grow.” Tong Zhongqiu rubbed the jade slip in his hand and suddenly sighed slightly.

In the jade slip, one more thing was said, which was that when Chen Fei came to Immortal Cloud City back then, the first sect he wanted to worship was actually the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.

As the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was the dominant force that had been suppressing a thousand miles in a radius at that time, naturally, there were many people who came to join this powerful sect.

But unfortunately, because of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s recruitment strategy at that time, Chen Fei’s age was obviously on the older side, while his cultivation level was completely insufficient, and he was directly blocked out of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s mountain gate.

He didn’t even have the chance to enter the mountain to test, because if he did, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would leave a record.

Without even a record, it was obvious that he hadn’t even stepped into the mountain gate.

A Harmonization Realm should have been born from their Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, but as a result, it was directly rejected by them.

It couldn’t be said that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s way of recruiting disciples at that time was wrong, at that time, because of the war, the number of people who came to the Immortal Cloud City was very high, and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect could only use such a way to filter out the high quality disciples from it.

But on the contrary, it left out Chen Fei, a diamond in the rough.

One could only say that Chen Fei and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect were not destined to be together.

The reasoning was like this, but when Tong Zhongqiu thought of such a potential dragon directly missing out on the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, his heart was still clogged up.

A thirty-something Harmonization Realm ah, even in the talented Thousand Feathers Alliance, such Harmonization Realm is only a handful of, the only possibility of this kind of heavenly pride, is only the Thousand Feathers Alliance of the several major forces.

What is the strength of those forces, but there is a peak Harmonization realm strong man in the town, to such an extent, the door will appear so young Harmonization realm. In the past, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect also had hopes of having such a heavenly pride, but in the end, nothing came of it.

“I know about this matter, you go down!” Tong Zhongqiu looked at Gong Guanzhi and slightly waved his hand and said.

“Guan Zhi excuses himself!” Gong Guanzhi looked at Tong Zhongqiu’s demeanor and felt as if Tong Zhongqiu had aged a bit more, and couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart.

But nothing that could be said nowadays could change the fact that the Harmonization Realm was out of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect. Gong Guanzhi bowed to Tong Zhongqiu and slowly exited the compound.

Tong Zhongqiu looked at a pine and cypress in the compound, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had tried every possible means to get another Harmonization Realm within the sect, but to this day, there was still not the slightest result. Even though there was a peak of the Harmonization Realm in the sect, but in the end, no one could say for sure whether it would succeed or not.

After all, in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there were many martial artists with peak cultivation at the Harmonization Realm, but in the end, there were only a handful of them that could really break through successfully.

Whether or not the luck would fall on the head of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, Tong Zhongqiu himself was not confident.

Thinking of Chen Fei, Tong Zhongqiu couldn’t help but sigh again. Time and fate, could it be that the heavens would no longer favor the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect?

“Whew!”

Suddenly, a burst of air-breaking sound came from the distance, Tong Zhongqiu looked up and saw the visitor at a glance, it was Yu Shoucheng of Yu Family.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s protective formation was just about to operate when it was withdrawn by Tong Zhongqiu, and Yu Shoucheng landed in front of Tong Zhongqiu’s compound.

“Forgive me for coming here uninvited!” Yu Shoucheng looked at Tong Zhongqiu and arched his hand.

“No harm done, please sit down!”

Tong Zhongqiu waved his hand and welcomed Yu Shoucheng into the middle of the compound. Nowadays, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Yu Family were in an alliance, and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was able to quickly gain a firm foothold in the Thousand Feathers Alliance thanks to the Yu Family.

As a result, the two forces were getting along extremely well. Yu Shoucheng’s direct arrival like this, although a bit sudden, was not a big deal.

“You should have heard about the Yuan Chen Sword Faction!” Yu Shoucheng sat down in front of Tong Zhongqiu and opened the door.

Yu Shoucheng came here today because he heard about this news not long ago.

At that time, Yu Shoucheng’s heart was also filled with surprise, after all, after spending a few years in the vicinity of Immortal Cloud City, the Yu Clan was still very knowledgeable about the situation of the neighboring forces.

Yuan Chen Sword Sect was in Yu Shou Cheng’s eyes, just like the many sixth level forces in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, without the slightest bit of colorfulness.

Of course, hundreds of years ago, the Yuanchen Sword Faction had had its splendor, and even had the legacy of the Harmonious Orifice Realm. But after so many years had passed, the merit law was crippled, and the Yuan Chen Sword Sect had long since ceased to be as prosperous as it was back then.

This kind of situation was also frequent in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, as soon as there was a break in the Harmonization Realm in the sect, the strength immediately declined, and even directly never returned.

In Yu Shoucheng’s eyes, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect actually had such a trend in, well after coming to the Endless Sea, Tong Zhongqiu might not be without a chance to get a life-extending spiritual material.

As long as there was a life-extending spiritual material, Tong Zhongqiu would be able to live for a few more decades, and by then the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would have a chance to give birth to a new Harmonization Realm, and continue the sect’s glory again.

“Just heard about it, and you came.” A hint of a smile appeared on Tong Zhongqiu’s face, but there wasn’t the slightest hint of laughter in his eyes.

Yu Shoucheng saw Tong Zhongqiu’s expression and associated it with some information about Chen Fei, his heart was clear. Anyone else who missed out on a Harmonization Realm in his early thirties like this, I’m afraid the mood would be the same as Tong Zhongqiu’s.

If Yu Shoucheng was put in Tong Zhongqiu’s position, Yu Shoucheng was afraid that he would still be furious.

“Chen Fei’s potential you have witnessed for all to see, and you guys are from the same place, it’s too bad that such a person isn’t pulled into the middle of the alliance.” Yu Shoucheng whispered.

“He may not agree, after all, on you and me, there is still quite a bit of trouble.” Tong Zhongqiu shook his head.

Although Jian Jinsheng of the Divine Flame Sect was not in the Endless Sea now, the probability of chasing him over was extremely high, and everyone knew that Jian Jinsheng would have a great probability of breaking through to the middle stage of the Harmonization Realm and it would be in the middle of these years.

If they allied with the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, they would need to take on the karma of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, and whoever else came along would have to carefully consider whether it was worth it or not.

There is also the Yu family, there is also a lot of trouble on the body, not better than the immortal cloud sword sect, otherwise it would not have been found in the channel, deliberately ran to the immortal cloud city to hide.

“Third order secret realm, this portion, is it enough?” Yu Shoucheng whispered.

“You want to share a portion of the Third Order Secret Realm to the Yuan Chen Sword Sect?”

Tong Zhongqiu couldn’t help but look slightly moved when he heard Yu Shoucheng’s words, this bargaining chip, would be heartwarming.
