Legend of the Transcendent

Yin Jin and Brahman Sa were the hidden cards of the Heart Sect. Yin Jin was in the late stage of the Elemental Infant, while Brahman Sa had reached the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant cultivation level. Both of them were incredibly powerful, and they would only appear when absolutely necessary.

These two hidden experts were known to only a few. The plan of Yu Hong and the others was to use them to kill the enemy's Elemental Infant experts at the most critical moment, thereby turning the tide of the battle.

As the Vast Gold Sect prepared to attack, the Heart Sect was not far behind. They utilized all sorts of methods. After all, this was a matter of life and death for the sect. Once the sect was broken, given the Vast Gold Sect's style, a massacre would follow.

It was said that the people of the Vast Gold Sect had already started to lurk around the sect. Although they had not yet attacked, they had already set up their formation. This time, they even brought disciples in the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages. These were people who had escaped from the Vast Gold Sect after the eruption of the earth fire. Although their numbers were not large, it was still a full-scale mobilization.

The Vast Gold Sect had also hired quite a few experts. They had hired two Elemental Infant stage experts, plus a Thousand Poisons Qian who was in the Heart Guarding stage. This made a total of six Elemental Infant stage experts. The Heart Sect had four Elemental Infant stage experts, plus Yin Jin and Brahman Sa, which also made six Elemental Infant stage experts. The two sides were evenly matched.

However, the Heart Sect had a slight advantage. The battle was taking place on their home ground, giving them the advantage of terrain.

With the advantages of timing, location, and people, the Heart Sect had the upper hand. According to Yu Hong's calculations, the Heart Sect had a high chance of winning, but unexpected events could not be ruled out.

The alarm bell rang continuously, and the Great Sword Formation that protected the mountain barely rose. Nine illusory giant swords rose from the nine peaks, quickly forming a huge shield.

Mi Xiaojing stood at the entrance of the main hall. He found that compared to the first time he saw the formation activated, there was indeed something wrong with this sword formation. It felt as if the entire formation was lacking a certain momentum, like a person who was originally full of energy but now appeared sickly.

Following that, each of the nine peaks also raised their own defensive formations. Although they were not large, they were enough to envelop the peaks. These defensive formations were not bad either, having been set up by the past masters of the Heart Sect.

When the alarm bell stopped ringing, the entire sect fell silent. In such a large sect, there was no trace of anyone on the ground. The battle for the sect was about to begin.

Due to Mi Xiaojing's importance to the sect, he was directly placed in the main hall of the sect. This was the core area of the sect. If the sect could not hold on, this place would be the last to be breached.

Mi Xiaojing sat on the steps at the entrance of the main hall. Yong Ji also sat on one side. His task was simple: to protect Mi Xiaojing.

Given the importance Yu Hong and the others placed on Mi Xiaojing, they would never let him join the battle. If the sect was in danger, he would be the first to be evacuated. As it stood, Mi Xiaojing was the safest here. There was also another person on the protection list.

Mo Yuer, the precious daughter of Mo Chentian.

There was also a person sitting next to Mo Yuer, a young and beautiful woman. However, her expression was very indifferent. Although she was not as cold as the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, she had a sense of elegance.

This woman was Mo Chentian's personal disciple, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment expert. She was also sent by Mo Chentian to protect Mo Yuer. This woman's name was Wan Bao, and Mo Yuer was used to calling her Sister Bao.

Originally, Mo Yuer was supposed to be sent away, but after the incident with the large flying boat, Mo Chentian knew that there were people intercepting them outside, so he called his daughter back to his side and temporarily placed her in the main hall of the sect.

Mo Yuer was also extremely bored. She sat not far from Mi Xiaojing, at the other end of the steps, her head always lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

Mi Xiaojing, however, was looking up at the sky, his Divine Sense chatting with Wang Weijun.

"Old man, do you think the Heart Sect can hold on?"

"If their fate is exhausted, they're done for. If their fate is not exhausted, they can still hold on. Who knows? If the sect can hold on, you can continue to hang around here. If it's done for, you'll have a hard time. You'll experience another way of life, the life of a rogue cultivator. It's not easy."

"Rogue cultivator?"

Mi Xiaojing had no concept of what a rogue cultivator was.

"A rogue cultivator is someone who cultivates without a sect, relying on themselves. There are three sources of rogue cultivators. One is ordinary people who receive enlightenment in cultivation and grow stronger on their own; the second is rogue cultivator masters who bring their disciples into the cultivation world; the last, hehe, are those cultivators who have their sects destroyed or leave their sects under special circumstances."

"The identity of a rogue cultivator and a sect cultivator can be switched. If a rogue cultivator wants to join a sect, as long as they have strong power or a special skill, like your good alchemy skills, they can easily be accepted by a sect. And a sect cultivator who has been away from the sect for a long time will eventually become a rogue cultivator in the true sense."

Mi Xiaojing said, "So a rogue cultivator relies on themselves, while a sect cultivator relies on the resources of the sect. I get it. One is a lone ranger, the other is a group.""Is it better to be a rogue cultivator or a sect disciple?"

"Being a rogue cultivator is too difficult in the early stages, naturally, it's better to be a sect disciple. However, when the cultivation level reaches a certain height, such as after the Elemental Infant stage, rogue cultivators are actually stronger than sect cultivators. This depends on personal choice."

"Do you think I should be a rogue cultivator or a sect disciple?"

"Nonsense, of course, it's better to be a sect disciple. Do you even need to choose? There are resources, elders, cultivation methods, and places to practice. Rogue cultivators don't have these, they have to find everything on their own."

"But it feels like the Heart Sect is about to be finished!"

"There are plenty of sects in the world, many of which are willing to accept rogue cultivators. Some large sects have countless outer disciples, many of whom were originally rogue cultivators. Of course, if you want to become an inner disciple or even a direct disciple, it's very difficult as a rogue cultivator."

"Large sects have many resources, many disciples, and immense power. As for the Heart Sect, there's not much to it. If you leave, you leave. Anyway, you don't have a good impression of this sect."

"Alright, should I switch to another sect in the future?"

"Let's talk about that later. What you need to do now is to save your life! The fights between sects, especially these sect extermination battles, are very cruel. You need to be prepared."

"I've already experienced it once."

"This time is different. If the Heart Sect loses this time, it's likely that not a single chicken or dog will be left."

Mi Xiaojing felt a chill in his heart, he gradually understood the cruelty and horror of this world.

Wang Weijun said: "I have seen too many sects destroyed. If a sect cannot grow, the final outcome is often not good."

"When a sect is destroyed, the Cultivation World will have a group of rogue cultivators. Haha, then these cultivators who come out of the sect will be played to death by the real rogue cultivators."
