In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 145 Then Let's Challenge the Imperial Sect

Of course, the Southern Alliance only has three Grandmasters on the surface, one less than the Six Sects, and its strength in other aspects is also slightly lacking. This is why people generally believe that the Six Sects Alliance is the strongest force in the Wu region.

So far, neither the Southern Alliance nor the Six Sovereigns have made any move.

As a result, the remaining two forces are probably just watching and waiting.

On the contrary, another request—resources and spiritual herbs—received a great deal of response. Many forces sent over the spiritual herbs and materials they had collected, which together were enough to refine nearly a hundred Marrow Transformation Pills.

However, this is not enough.

Shen Xing's need for elixirs will increase as his foundation and strength grow.

On the fourth day after the announcement, Shen Xing broke through to the mid-stage of the Divine Refinement Realm without any barriers.

This breakthrough directly increased his daily requirement for Inner Breath Pills to more than four!

This was expected.

The organ-enhancing potion gave him a special physique, increasing his foundation and allowing him to withstand the higher power of the cultivation aids, thus achieving higher training efficiency.

All of this is reflected in the efficiency of refining elixirs.

If resources are sufficient, this is naturally a good thing, meaning he can become stronger and improve his strength faster.

However, this will also bring greater challenges to resource acquisition.

Shen Xing was no longer completely ignorant about alchemy. As far as he knew, although alchemy in this world was not the type that could only produce one pill at a time, taking the Inner Breath Pill as an example, a batch could produce a maximum of seven or eight pills, requiring an alchemist to refine them for a full five days, provided that the refining did not fail.

Even if successful, alchemists must recuperate for a period of time after each batch of pills is completed. After all, refining high-grade pills requires special alchemical states of mind and consumes spiritual power and even Yuan energy. Even with pills like the Nourishing Spirit Pill, one still needs at least two days of recuperation.

Based on this efficiency, an alchemist can produce a little over one pill per day on average, and if the alchemy fails, it might produce less than one pill.

It simply cannot meet his needs.

He wants all seven alchemists!

However, Shen Xing remained calm and composed, agreeing to ten days, and that was it.

While Shen Xing continued his arduous cultivation, the Six Sects Alliance on the other side had to convene another Grandmaster Conference.

All four masters participated.

In fact, a meeting of six sects had been held a few days earlier, with all experts above the Innate level participating.

But the meeting was chaotic, clearly divided into several different factions, and caused some division within the six sects.

Because the three sects without a Grandmaster in charge had no intention of offending Shen Xing.

They also lacked alchemists, and more importantly, regardless of whether Shen Xing could kill a Grandmaster, killing a Primordial was inevitable, and they were clearly unwilling to take such a risk.

Ultimately, the six sects are not geographically clustered together.

Facing a flying chariot that can traverse the entire Wu region in half a day, defense is a major problem.

The three more powerful sects, especially the Imperial Sect, are clearly staunch "opposition factions".

"We absolutely cannot admit defeat and obediently submit." The sect leader of the Imperial Clan was a man named Di Yangming.

He was tall and imposing, and he was wearing a long robe woven with gold thread. Every move he made exuded luxury and domineering presence.

"I agree with Junior Brother's statement." The other speaker, also a Grandmaster of the Imperial Sect named Di Jing, glanced coldly at the other two. "This isn't a gamble on whether that brat is bluffing; it's about protecting the prestige that our Six Sects have painstakingly built! If we yield to that brat's words, how will our Six Sects govern a region and reappear in the Wu Kingdom!"

That's right, to recreate the Wu Kingdom, that's the main purpose of the six factions forming an alliance.

If this were applied to Wu Yu today, it would undoubtedly sound laughable.

Without the Four Realms, how can you expect to rule the entire Wu region?

However, in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Imperial Clan and even the Six Clans, it was actually possible, because of Emperor Yangming!

He is the most outstanding prodigy in the Imperial Clan for hundreds of years, and he entered the Grandmaster realm at the young age of seventy!

This talent is no less than that of the Wu Kingdom's founding emperor back then. If he had enough resources, he could very well step into the fourth realm and become a powerful figure in the Spirit Realm.

It can be said that the entire Six Sects Alliance was born because of it.

From this perspective, Di Jing was absolutely right. Regardless of whether that brat could truly threaten a Grandmaster, or even, as he claimed, destroy the Four Realms, they absolutely could not back down because of this one sentence. If they did, the reputation of the Six Sects would suffer a major blow, and most importantly, their internal cohesion would be severely damaged.

It should be noted that the people of the six sects now all claim to be the number one power in the Wu region! Glory and pride have transformed into a powerful cohesive force.

"But that kid is really mysterious. What if he really uses something that could threaten us?" another person couldn't help but say.

"Impossible!" Di Yangming said decisively, glancing coldly at the remaining two. "Have you two considered this? If he truly possessed such abilities, he would have already used them to intimidate the entire region! Why would he need to auction off items from beyond the region?"

The other two remained silent.

They had certainly considered it, but relying solely on this as a basis would involve far too many variables.

Perhaps this method, which couldn't be used back then, can be used now?

Perhaps their family has suddenly come knocking on their door?

Ultimately, everything Shen Xing has shown so far is enough to prove that there is indeed an incredibly powerful force behind him, and this alone is enough to make people take him seriously.

"In my opinion, that brat is probably preparing to leave, but he wants to extort us one last time before he leaves," Di Jing said again. "His flying chariot can travel tens of thousands of miles a day, so going to the outer regions is no problem for him. Since he claims to have wandered here, there is no need for him to stay any longer. We don't need to take action; we just need to wait for him to leave on his own."

"Hmph, in my opinion, we should strike first. That brat is just bluffing. He might even be carrying a treasure from beyond the realm that could help us in our cultivation." Di Yangming snorted coldly, his killing intent palpable.

The other two could tell that these two had already made up their minds.

Especially Emperor Yangming.

His hope of reaching the Spirit Realm rested entirely on the ambitions of the Six Sects; how could he possibly tolerate their sabotage?

This left the two of them worried, but they could no longer speak out.

Ultimately, although those two second-grade alchemists were not entirely from the Imperial Sect, they are now both from the Imperial Sect.

"I hope it's just a bluff," one of them muttered to himself.

As the deadline set by Shen Xing drew ever closer, neither the Six Sects nor the Southern Alliance had any news.

The atmosphere in Wuyu was becoming increasingly tense.

Many forces have discerned the intentions of these two major powers.

Therefore, the final outcome will depend on Shen Xing. If he cannot come up with sufficient means, he will inevitably have no choice but to flee in disgrace. In fact, many grandmasters may even join forces to try to keep him here!

This is the only fate a fox can have when its tiger skin is exposed.

However, as the deadline approached, the remaining two factions cunningly announced that they would send out their own alchemists.

Yes, it's stuck on the last day.

If Shen Xing did nothing, then naturally there's nothing he needs to do; the only loss might be a little bit of reputation.

With the powerful forces of Mingyue Tower and Chunyu Chamber of Commerce standing in front of them, this loss of reputation is nothing.

Until the sun rose on the eleventh day.

Countless eyes had gathered outside Shen Xing's residence. Spies from various forces were all staring intently at this place, most of them being innate level cultivators, and each carrying a "Thousand Mile Token"!

Even inside the mansion, there was a solemn atmosphere.

One by one, the servants and attendants looked nervously and expectantly toward the direction of the training room, where a heavy sense of oppression still emanated. Even at this time, the young master was still diligently cultivating!

As usual, it was soon time for the young master to come out and make his move.

When the time came, as always, Shen Xing appeared at the entrance of the training room.

She was still dressed in a luxurious, impeccably clean white robe, her expression and posture unchanged from usual.

The four guards at the door were all tense, and they all bowed their heads respectfully and said, "Greetings, young master."

"Hmm?" Shen Xing looked at them, seemingly somewhat confused. "Are you all here today?"

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, Cao Qiyun whispered a reminder: "Young Master, today is the eleventh day."

"Oh, I see." Shen Xing suddenly realized.

After focusing on rigorous training, he really didn't pay much attention to time.

In fact, he could guess the choices of those two forces.

If they really wanted to back down, they wouldn't have been agonizing over it for so long.

"Those forces still haven't responded?" Shen Xing asked casually.

"Reporting to Young Master," Jiang Yan said respectfully, "as of this morning, there has still been no response."

"Hehe." Shen Xing chuckled twice. "It's normal to dominate for so long. In that case, let's just pick a place and flatten it. Hmm, let's go with the Imperial Clan. That name is too grand; they can't afford it."

It was as if he had simply closed his eyes and randomly picked one.

But in reality, the Imperial Clan, as the core of the Six Clans, has the greatest prestige in the entire Wu region!

The four of them gradually became excited and filled with anticipation.

Crush the imperial clan!

Many people in Wuyu had thought this way, but only their young master could say it so casually, yet make people clearly feel the weight of it!

"You all come along too." Shen Xing glanced at the group again and said, "Since you are my followers, you should also learn a little about my methods."

"Yes!" The four were naturally even more excited, especially the three who had never ridden in a flying car before. As they watched the flying car descend from the sky, their voices trembled slightly.
