Daily life of a cultivation judge

Chapter 789 End of the list (2)

Said stone was the five elemental infusion stone, a stone that contained the fusion of all the five elements and unlike the other stones, this one was considered a dao natural treasure because of the effects it had.

The five elemental infusion stone could be used to polish the body of a cultivator giving them at the bare minimum a gold body in the body refinement stage, and when breaking through to the foundation establishment realm provided they used the stone to polish their foundations in the previous two realms, they were guaranteed at the very least to have blue grade pillars regardless what grade of cultivation art they practiced.

The more refined five-elemental infusion stone contained dao mysterious truths pertaining to the five elements that could serve a core formation expert preparing to breakthrough to the palace realm. Given enough time and decent comprehension, with the stone, one had a 70% chance of breaking through to the palace realm, and the Woodstone Kingdom had both the fortune and misfortune of finding such a mine within their kingdom.

To the west of the kingdom was the ?Silver Tiger Kingdom, a rank 3 kingdom, to the east was the Lan Clan a rank 3 clan, to the south was the Dragon Claw sect, a rank 3 sect and to the north was the Willow mist forest filled with over countless ferocious spirit beasts. Of them all, the Woodstone Kingdom was the weakest in terms of power and foundation, however, the Lan Clan, the Dragon Claw Sect never targetted them because they never had anything worthwhile to draw their greed, and as for the Silver Tiger Kingdom, even though it was the neighbor they had the most friction with, they never tore all face of cordiality with one another.

With the mine they found, they could finally strengthen themselves without fear of one day being unable to protect themselves when they were targeted by any of the four neighbors. The mine of five elemental infusion stones they found though wasn't the largest, but it could produce one regular stone every year, while the one that contained the dao mysteries of the five elements took 10- 15 years to form one.

Given enough time, their overall strength would have rivaled that of their neighbors, however, ?that was only on the prerequisite that their neighbors didn't know about the mine. Sadly they did and that led to the kingdom being besieged on three fronts. Only the ferocious spirit beasts of Willow Mist Forest remained uninvolved as they always have when it came to human affairs, but the other three, attacked Woodstone Kingdom with intensity forcing the Woodstone Kingdom into a desperate situation.

Out of desperation, the crown prince snuck into the Willow Mist Forest and using a camouflage art, stole an egg belonging to one of the ruling spirit beasts in the area and took it to the Silver Tiger Kingdom hoping to borrow the hand of that spirit beast to keep them at bay.

He miscalculated in thinking the spirit beast would act alone as they knew those spirit beasts to be fiercely territorial but he inadvertently triggered a spirit beast tide. The Silver Tiger Kingdom was almost razed to the ground, with a third of the kingdom slaughtered, and the mother of the egg he stole tracked his scent after finding the egg. The Woodstone Kingdom suffered the same fate as the Silver Tiger Kingdom, without countless cities falling to the spirit beast's attack.

Millions died in both kingdoms because of that attack and the number would have swelled had there not been someone from the White Rose Pavillion not been close. With her assistance, the tide was quelled but the damage was done.

The crown prince was sentenced to 100,000 years for his efforts, and because of what he did, the Silver Tiger Kingdom filed for a death duel with the Woodstone Kingdom, with the Order providing a venue for their duel. The format of said duel was both kingdoms sending everyone they had, there was no limit on the number, and they would fight to the last person in said venue.

Surprisingly neither side had an overwhelming victory over the other, with both sides suffering severe losses. Silver Tiger had expected to be the favorites, however, Woodstone Kingdom pulled out a draw because of the countless wood physique cultivators they had. They went toe to toe with their opponents because of their vitality and endurance.

As for the final person on the list, it was an elder by the name of Li Chen. He had been the elder of the Thunderclap Saber Sect. He was a cultivation mad man who had nothing in his mind other than cultivation. He never even took disciples up until he found one in his travels who had a yuan heart physique.

Those with Yuan heart physique were able to find symmetry in two different forces, almost similar to Yang Qing's yin yang jade bones physique. With the Yuan heart physique, one would be able to master water and fire cultivation arts and cultivate it within their body without conflict.

Li Chen had hoped to see the heights of the peak of cultivation vicariously through his disciple's eyes. By his estimates, he would never reach the domain realm, but maybe he could raise one. He threw himself into countless dangers in search of rare resources to assist his disciple. He would disappear for years on end in those ventures and in the last one he ended up locked in a mysterious realm for almost 200 years but it had been worth it as he had found a yin-yang treasure that would be of benefit to his disciple, but ultimately it was all for naught.

When he returned to his sect, he was hit with the news of his disciple's death. His disciple had died while competing on behalf of the sect. There was a small grotto at the border which the Thunderclap Sect shared with two other sects of similar strength. Since they couldn't decide on ownership, they voted on owning it jointly with the right of ownership being decided every three years through a competition between their disciples.

The victor with the ownership rights would be allowed to get 50% of the resources produced within that grotto, while the remaining two would get 25% each. The Thunderclap Sect had hoped Li Chen's disciple would be able to give them victory in the matches. With his physique they thought surely he was a sure-in for the winner, only they didn't take into account that one of the rival sect would have a monstrous talent themselves with a peerless jade physique. That disciple ended up killing Li Chen's disciple in their duel.

Li Chen on hearing the news went crazed and instantly attacked the sect master of the Thunderclap Sect for risking his disciple in a duel without even asking his master, and even after his disciple died, they didn't retaliate against the other sect and just compromised for a few treasures.

The fight between the two quickly heated and it became a fight to the death that spread even outside the sect's grounds into their territories. With the destruction it caused, countless bystanders got caught up in it and died in the process, with the greatest number being the disciples and servants of the Thunderclap Saber Sect as it spread to the nearby towns that neighbored their sect ground.

The sect master got crippled in the process, while Li Chen got severe injuries of his own that were healed when he was sentenced by the Order. He got 70,000 years.

Yang Qing sighed when he finished, as he wondered, of the seven, who would he pick for the remaining three slots.
