Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 185: Clan Treasury

"What does that mean?"

"It means that no cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage would willingly risk their life in a fight, unless their life is threatened and they have no choice but to fight to survive. Right now, this is just a joke, just empty words. Don't expect them to really risk their lives. The sect may be gone, but their lives are still there!"

"If the sect is still there, but their lives are not, hehe, isn't the choice obvious?"

"Cultivators cultivate for longevity, for survival. We are not ordinary people. Even if ordinary people don't risk their lives, they can live peacefully for a lifetime, but that's only a hundred years at most. As long as a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they can live for a very long time. Once they advance to the Elemental Infant stage, they are almost immortal, even if their physical body is destroyed, they can still live!"

Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded, but upon reflection, it was indeed true. Cultivators might fight hard, but they wouldn't necessarily risk their lives. His pure heart was once again tainted a little by this old guy, Wang Weijun.

"Then we're doomed!"

"Not necessarily. Because the higher-ups will fight to the death. If they lose the sect, their loss is much greater than others. Without the resources of the sect, they would definitely be worse off fighting outside than keeping the sect. However, it's quite difficult to exchange their lives for it."

Mi Xiaojing gradually understood that no one would really risk their life for the sect. He asked, "But the Vast Gold Sect came to fight to the death! Aren't they also cultivators?"

"Haha, you're really naive and adorable. Is that fighting to the death? That's just an excuse to exterminate a sect. They're just using the name of revenge to seize the sect's territory. Once the Heart Sect is defeated, this place will soon become the new Vast Gold Sect! A sect occupies a lot of resources, what they really want is not revenge, but these resources!"

Wang Weijun said pointedly.

Mi Xiaojing fell silent, feeling that the Cultivation World was really dirty.

Wang Weijun chuckled smugly. He wanted to disrupt Mi Xiaojing's thinking and understanding, to make him lose his sense of right and wrong, which would be the best outcome.

"I still prefer the Western Evolutionary Sect, not the Heart Sect!"

Wang Weijun rolled his eyes. This kid was stubborn. Mi Xiaojing's words represented his preference for the peaceful life of Evolutionary Immortality, rather than the cunning life of cultivators. Of course, Mi Xiaojing still liked cultivation itself.

Yong Ji noticed that Mi Xiaojing had been closing his eyes and lowering his head, not knowing whether he had heard the Sect Leader's words. But on second thought, the sect would definitely not let Mi Xiaojing fight. He was good at alchemy, not fighting.

In fact, Yong Ji didn't know that Mi Xiaojing's combat ability was not bad at all. In a fight with a cultivator of the same level, he would definitely not lose. Even if he challenged a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection level, Mi Xiaojing was not afraid. He just never showed his combat talent.

Of course, Mi Xiaojing wouldn't be so foolish as to volunteer to fight. He wouldn't risk his life for the Heart Sect. Keeping silent and not expressing his stance was his current idea.

Sect Leader Mo Chentian said, "This battle is related to the life and death of the sect, and also to everyone's personal interests. Once the sect is broken, even if you escape, you will be homeless. At that time, without resources, without anything, how will you cultivate? How will you advance? Think clearly, don't have any foolish thoughts, don't think you can get away with it. We are watching."

"The tasks have been assigned, everyone act accordingly. Also, the sect is offering a lot of rewards this time. Once completed, there will be great rewards!"

Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said, "I have a few words to say too. The sect's treasury is open, and some treasures and spiritual tools are temporarily given to everyone. Remember, if you complete your tasks well, these treasures can be given to you as rewards."

Everyone's faces showed joy. Many treasures in the sect's treasury are usually not taken out. It is estimated that this time they saw the situation was serious. Rather than losing in a fight and being robbed, it is better to distribute them to everyone in advance to enhance everyone's combat power.

This move was highly appreciated by Wang Weijun. He thought that this action by the high-level members of the Heart Sect was very wise, unlike some sects, who were extremely stingy.

Yong Ji turned his head and looked at Mi Xiaojing, saying, "When you go to the treasury later, follow along. You can choose a suitable treasure."

Mi Xiaojing pointed to his nose, his eyes full of surprise, "Do I have one too?"

Yong Ji laughed and said, "You are qualified to choose!"

Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He was curious about what treasures were in the treasury. Earlier, when Azure Descent Immortal Maiden said that everyone could choose, the joy on the faces of these Foundation Establishment Ancestors was about to overflow. A few of them were even grinning secretly.

Wang Weijun chuckled. Mi Xiaojing had little experience and might not be able to pick good things, but with him, it would be different. With his knowledge, even the senior elders of the Heart Sect couldn't compare.

Only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage could go to the treasury to choose. Those below the Foundation Establishment stage were not qualified. Mi Xiaojing was an exception because of his great contribution. He was specially allowed to join, which was also a kind of benefit.

This proposal was put forward by Mu Hengyuan. He was seriously injured before. If it weren't for Mi Xiaojing's Spirit Pill, it would have been a big trouble. Now in the sect, two senior elders owed Mi Xiaojing a favor. Both of their injuries were healed by the Spirit Pill refined by Mi Xiaojing.

The treasury of the Heart Sect was not far from the main hall. It took about ten minutes to walk there. Of course, the treasury was built underground and was entered through a teleportation array. A maximum of eight people could enter at a time, accompanied by Azure Descent Immortal Maiden.

Mi Xiaojing and Yong Ji were in the first batch. This treatment made the other Foundation Establishment Ancestors envious and jealous.

Chen Shouyi was even more envious. The earlier you enter the treasury, the more choices you have to pick treasures. As long as you have a good eye, you can get the good stuff first. Who wouldn't want to be the first to go in?

But the first batch of people to enter, apart from the Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, were the direct disciples of the Elemental Infant Ancestors. Like those who were named by the senior elders of the sect, there was only Mi Xiaojing now.

Under the envious eyes of many Foundation Establishment Ancestors, Mi Xiaojing stepped onto the teleportation array. He had seen this kind of teleportation array before in the back of the sect's main hall. However, compared to that, this teleportation array was much larger. Since it was short-distance teleportation, it was not complicated.Among the eight, only three truly possessed the combat power of Great Perfection and needed to participate in the battle. These were the Foundation Establishment Ancestors. The others, like Yong Ji and Mi Xiaojing, along with two others, were all related. Of course, these two were still Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Mi Xiaojing was the only one in the Foundation Establishment stage among the younger generation.

The Azure Descent Immortal Maiden led the team, standing together on the teleportation array.

Outside the teleportation array, a group of Foundation Establishment Ancestors watched eagerly. Everyone knew that those who entered first had the advantage, but none of them dared to object. This was the decision of the sect's elder, and in a strict cultivation sect like the Heart Sect, only those with the highest strength had the right to speak and make decisions, and only they had the privilege to cheat.

In an instant, Mi Xiaojing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, the surroundings suddenly becoming cold.
