A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 458: Chapter 385: The Charm of Qingtian Realm (Part 2)

What matter is so grave that it threatens the safety of so many powerful figures?

Those who thought of this felt a sudden unease rising in their hearts.

They understood all too well what such a large-scale war implied.

If in times of peace they were like cattle being exploited, then in times of war, they wouldn’t even have the chance to be cattle.

Just losing the rules and the protection of strong cultivators during wartime would unleash the blood cultivators, demon cultivators, and tribulation cultivators, who usually hid in shadows, to come out in force.

Once targeted by these individuals, losing wealth would be considered fortunate; a little more severe, and one could lose their life, or even worse, be subjected to humiliation, flaying, and brutal slaughters that incite extreme negative emotions and desires.

These incidents are all too common in domain-level wars, and in every such battle, the most deaths are never among the fighting cultivators.

Because the sects and cultivators of some standing, when given relatively balanced resources and opportunities, would typically avoid taking paths tainted with too much blood as the side effects are too great.

In contrast, ordinary cultivators, hidden in the shadows and with no path forward, would become extraordinarily frenzied.

Normally constrained by upper-level sects, they would hold back somewhat, but in domain-level wars, when those higher sects are too busy with their affairs, countless monsters and ghouls would go rampant, releasing their repressed cruelty in madness!

And every time such a battle occurs, the death toll under this frenzy exceeds that of the war itself!

This is the bloody lesson from every domain-level war on the Star Sea Continent.

This is also the terror of the Immortal Cultivation Realm losing its order! It can definitely be described as hell on earth.

Unlike the mortal dynasties, where people suffer in prosperity and suffer in decline but still have a chance to survive, cannibalism only occurs in particularly brutal wars.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, however, cannibalism happens in every war, with the most terrifying man-eaters emerging from every level... the higher the cultivation and talent, the more...

And this is just domain-level war!

If a continent-level war were to occur and the entire Star Sea Continent fell into chaos, losing the oversight of the Star Sea Alliance, the level of chaos would be unimaginable to all.

Perhaps if that day truly comes, the Star Sea Continent would instantly become the greatest hell on earth... at that moment, anyone could become an enemy... and no place would be safe!

At the thought of what might occur, many experienced and knowledgeable cultivators couldn’t help but tremble...

A wave of panic swiftly spread through everyone, rolling out in the blink of an eye!

At this moment, aside from the few who were ignorant of the gravity of the situation, many experienced cultivators began to quickly flee, preparing for the next steps to ensure their survival!

If no preparations are made, death is the only outcome once the war occurs.

At this instant, the destruction of the Dao God Sect became less significant; what mattered now was preparing while seeking more information about what was to come!

Because after Bee Daoist, Meng Tianqu, Baili Yun, and others destroyed the Dao God Sect, they left in such haste to kill others that they didn’t even have time to carefully search the spoils, clearly racing against the clock!

With such a lineup acting this way, how terrifying must their enemies be? Could it be the strongest among all the powerhouses of the Star Sea Continent? No matter the result, the collapse of order is certain!

"What should we do? What should we do?"

This phrase began to surface in countless minds.

"Right, Bee Senior’s Qingtian Realm, it’s said that even Divinity Transformation cultivators have to tread lightly there!"

"That’s right, it’s that place!"

At this moment, the allure of the Qingtian Realm shone once more!

Since Bee Daoist and the Qingtian Realm rose to fame, many cultivators from the Star Sea Continent, from geniuses to the most ordinary cultivators, have been drawn there!

The key allure of the Qingtian Realm isn’t the free low-level cultivation techniques, but its stable and fair environment!

Over the years, illegal killings in the Qingtian Realm have been rare, and any threats to fairness and stability are instantly squashed, even for the Cyan Origin Academy which holds the ruling power.

Such a place naturally attracts all cultivators feeling uneasy!

The more chaotic things get, the more appealing such a place becomes!

In a short time, well-informed cultivators began to sell their assets, grabbing resources and heading swiftly to the Qingtian Realm!

This trend grew into a mighty torrent!

Even Qi Ping hadn’t anticipated that without mobilizing people, some foresighted cultivators were already making their way to the Qingtian Realm.

And for Qi Ping and the Qingtian Realm, these cultivators bringing vast wealth are like the most valuable assets!

...

After Qi Ping swiftly destroyed the Dao God Sect, he rushed to the next location without pause.

Their second target was the Bright Immortal Dao, which also boasted a Void Refining cultivator.

Bai Yuan, the Supreme Elder of Bright Immortal Dao, like the Ancient God, was a Body Cultivator, but unlike the Ancient God, Bai Yuan practiced the rare dual cultivation of body refining and qi refining, and was also a Five Spirit Roots cultivator, thus following the most foundational Five Elements Technique.

Though slightly inferior to the Ancient God in combat power when it came to body cultivation, Bai Yuan’s overall combat strength and reputation slightly surpassed that of the Ancient God.

In a certain sense, he was on par with Meng Tianqi as a Void Refining Cultivator!

Aside from the universally recognized number one Ji Qingyue, Bai Yuan was also a strong contender for the title of the strongest cultivator.

Initially, Qi Ping, Meng Tianqi, and others had listed him as their second target after Ji Qingyue, due to his formidable strength that needed to be eliminated before he could gather reinforcements

However, after the calculations of the Little Immortal Tiger, it was decided to place him in the current order.

Thankfully, they acted quickly and blocked Bai Yuan at the sect’s entrance.

Judging from his hurried demeanor, it seemed he was preparing to flee the area.

"What do you mean by this?"

The burly Bai Yuan, clad in white battle armor, glared at Qi Ping and the others with displeasure.

Upon receiving the news of the Dao God Sect’s destruction, he immediately sensed something was wrong and suspected he might be the next target, so he prepared to hide himself and find an opportunity to join others at the Star Sea Alliance Headquarters.

But what he didn’t expect was that this group could arrive so quickly!

He now looked at Qi Ping, whose aura was inexplicable, along with Meng Tianqi and Baili Yun, whose presence had clearly risen a level, and at the vague array forming into a whole. A strong sense of unease surged in his heart.

Seeing that Qi Ping had nothing to say, Meng Tianqi glanced at him before saying:

"What do you mean? Since we’re old friends, let’s not pretend. Ancient God and Huang Daoxing have gone ahead, we’re here to send you off!"

As he spoke, the array led by him and Baili Yun rapidly took shape.

"We’ve been friends for so long, why do this!" Bai Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Bai Daoist, we both know, there’s no need to hide it. I’ve always said you desire too much, wanting everything..."

"Just as body refining and qi refining can never truly coexist, choices come with their respective costs, and each path has its core. Since you’ve chosen betrayal, we can never allow you..."

Meng Tianqi said, somewhat helplessly.

Meanwhile, Meng Tianqi gathered the Life and Death Law in his palm, unleashing a tremendous force that smashed against the array of Bright Immortal Dao. The terrifying impact echoed explosively, and Bai Yuan, supporting the array from within, grunted and spewed a mouthful of golden blood!

The ordinary disciples were even less fortunate, with many bodies directly bursting apart!

"How is this possible?" Bai Yuan looked at Meng Tianqi with a horrified expression.

"How could he be this strong?"
