Chapter 1418: Chapter 49: From the West

“Does mitigating the Yuanci True Membrane Eye really require this many people?!”

“Calculated like this, even if we risk all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Three Sects and One Clan, there’s still quite a shortfall.”

Wanxiang Sect.

The leading figures of the Three Sects and One Clan are now gathered at Chunyang Palace.

People like An Changshou from the Longevity Sect who is called an Elder but in reality, is the Sect Master;

The newly appointed Vice Tao Temple Master of Youxian Temple, Xiong Zhaojing;

...

And the current family head of the Qin Family, Qin Shengyong.

In the venue, not only the Sect Master Qu Shentong of Wanxiang Sect, but also the great elder Ji Ying and second elder Xumi were seated.

If not restricted by heaven and earth, where Divinity Transformation cultivators cannot come, probably those hidden Divine lodgers from the Longevity Sect, Youxian Temple, and Qin Family would have personally attended too.

Even so, many people present have activated their Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.

On the other end of the Spirit Rhinoceros Stones were the senior officials from the Three Sects and One Clan who hadn’t come.

The only one absent from the venue was Wang Ba, the Deputy Sect Master of the Wanxiang Sect.

At this moment, everyone naturally turned their gaze towards Daoist Yuanci, who was sitting in the middle.

As for Xiang Sirui and Rui Chunqiu by his side, they were automatically overlooked.

Qu Shentong, as the Sect Master of Wanxiang Sect, couldn’t help but speak to Daoist Yuanci:

“Deputy Sect Master, according to you, resolving this Yuanci disaster would require at least nine hundred Nascent Soul cultivators. This number has already exceeded the limits of our Three Sects and One Clan in Jin, even if we include some of the smaller sects in Jin and those Nascent Soul cultivators from the vassal states, it’s still not enough… Are you sure so many are needed?”

Daoist Yuanci’s expression was calm:

“Sect Master, this was calculated based on the scale of the Yuanci True Membrane Eyes I encountered at the Eightfold Sea three or four years ago. The actual situation will only be more, not less.”

Hearing Daoist Yuanci’s reply, everyone in Chunyang Palace furrowed their brows.

Inside the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone, there was also silence.

Clearly, they all felt troubled by the shortage of manpower.

But it was Elder An Changshou from the Longevity Sect who suddenly spoke:

“More than the Yuanci disaster, I am more concerned about something else; can Zhongsheng Continent really accommodate Divinity Transformation cultivators?”

This statement immediately heated up the atmosphere inside Chunyang Palace a lot.

Xiong Zhaojing of Youxian Temple couldn’t help but say:

“That’s right, why don’t we consider relocating to Zhongsheng Continent? Doing so, not only can we avoid the Yuanci disaster, but some of the disciples in our sect who are struggling at the peak of Nascent Soul might also take this opportunity to break through to Immortal Ascension.”

There are few people in Youxian Temple, so moving there would be much easier than for the other two sects of the Three Sects and One Clan, hence he was the most active.

However, Xiang Sirui, who was behind Daoist Yuanci, couldn’t help but say:

“Although Zhongsheng Continent can accommodate Divinity Transformation cultivators, it is only for early stages of Immortal Ascension. Going there to transcend the Divine Tribulation is feasible, but the resources there are extremely scarce, Spiritual Lineages are rare, the Five Element Spiritual Energy is weak, while only the Yuanci energy is strong… It might not be suitable for our cultivation.”

Xiang Sirui’s words, like a bucket of cold water, doused the flames of joy that had just risen among everyone.

Xiong Zhaojing also couldn’t help but frown:

“Lack of Spiritual Energy… indeed, that might not be suitable. Even if we move the Spiritual Lineage there, if the Yuanci energy can’t be resolved, that’s also a big problem.”

Daoist Yuanci then added:

“In the Yuanci Sea surrounding Zhongsheng Continent, there are still many Yuanci True Membrane Eyes.”

“But going there for the Divine Tribulation Transcending wouldn’t be too problematic, as long as we prepare enough spirit food and elixirs to replenish Spiritual Energy.”

After all, Zhongsheng Continent’s spiritual energy isn’t abundant, undergoing Immortal Ascension Tribulation, if one doesn’t receive the replenishment from nature’s spiritual energy, it’s very likely to fail.

This, although most of those present hadn’t yet stepped into Immortal Ascension, they were very clear.

And Daoist Yuanci’s words undoubtedly dispelled the notion of the Three Sects and One Clan entirely relocating to Zhongsheng Continent.

Finally, it was Ji Ying, the great elder of Wanxiang Sect, who spoke, setting the direction:

“Although Zhongsheng Continent has no Spiritual Energy, it still makes a good place for those Nascent Soul Perfect Practitioners of the Three Sects and One Clan to advance further. We can discuss this matter later. Right now, we should focus on how to completely eliminate the Yuanci disaster in the West Sea Country.”

Ji Ying, being an elder generation Divinity Transformation cultivator, whether in seniority or in Cultivation Base, was the highest among those present, thus when he personally spoke, no one from the Three Sects and One Clan disagreed.

An Changshou furrowed his brows and pondered for a while, then shook his head:

“Even if our sect maintains minimum operations, we can provide at most three hundred and forty Nascent Soul cultivators.”

Hearing An Changshou’s words, the other two sects from the Three Sects and One Clan couldn’t help but show slightly tense expressions.

The Longevity Sect had the largest number of people among the Three Sects and One Clan.

The number of cultivators of the same generation might not necessarily exceed that of Wanxiang Sect, but each of them excelled in extending their lifespan, and many of them stayed within the sect without going out, causing little depletion, thus from generation to generation, a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators have been accumulated.

But even so, the Longevity Sect could only release just over three hundred, a number although not small, was still far less than what Daoist Yuanci mentioned.

Neither Wanxiang Sect, Youxian Temple, nor Qin Family could possibly gather so many more hands.

“I can provide at most one hundred and sixty from our sect.”

Qu Shentong pondered for a moment, then gave a number.

Xiong Zhaojing of Youxian Temple hesitated before speaking:

“Thirty.”

Qin Shengyong of the Qin Family also furrowed his brows and thought before saying:

“Seventy.”

“That’s only six hundred… even if we include the vassal state and the smaller sects under us, at most it’s only an additional dozen or two, meaning there’s still a gap of three hundred.”

An Changshou did a brief calculation and couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.
