Chapter 176: Gain Comes with Loss, Cutting Off Their Desperation (12k)_6
He might really be able to survive this disaster.
Helping out, it's just a small matter.
But as time passed, Sect Master Liao Yilai of Dali's Yangming Sect arrived.
An incense stick later, Sect Master Peng Song of Dali's Devil Extermination Sect also arrived.
This Devil Extermination Sect, located in the northwest of Dali, was founded by an ordinary person long ago.
At that time, the whole village was trampled flat by the massive horde of devils emerging from the Abyssal Rift, and he survived by luck, having joined the West Desolate Army to fight against the devils.
Later, as he grew older and injured, he withdrew from the West Desolate Army and established the Devil Extermination Sect in the northwest of Dali.
The cultivators of this sect mostly came from northwest Dali, suffering heavy casualties, but they were extremely strong in combat.
The previous sect master died in battle near the present Almsgiving Town during a great war.
With such casualties, the sect couldn't expand, but rarely, in each generation, there was at least one Ninth Tier member.
Now that the Abyssal Rift was completely destroyed and no devils emerged anymore, Devil Extermination Sect finally had some years to recuperate.
No one expected that the current sect master was also an incarnation.
Thus, counting Zhong Shouzheng, there were five Ninth Tier gathered here.
Tong Weishun looked at the silent old eunuch and sighed.
"It seems you also didn't know that I, Sect Master Liao, Sect Master Peng, and even you, we are all incarnations.
Now that we've gathered here, you probably know something's wrong, right?"
"From the first time I saw you, I sensed something was off." The old eunuch wasn't panic-stricken, calmly muttering.
"Have you secretly practiced the Refining God Technique?" Tong Weishun's eyes showed a complex expression.
"In my free time, I tried, just cultivated up to Yang God, but it became difficult to continue." The old eunuch sighed lightly.
"So you had already discovered the problem?"
"During the last fall of the Emperor's Liquid, I swallowed a part of it, greatly enhancing my Yang God, but unexpectedly discovered a fleeting rune deep in my Yang God."
"So since then, you never dared to recklessly refine gods again, right?"
"Correct." The old eunuch's expression remained calm.
"Knowing you would die, you still dared to come?"
"If I'm to die, so be it. I've lived long enough. Moreover, gathering so many people, I knew I came for the right reason."
Tong Weishun recalled that Yu Ziqing once told him why all the incarnations were Qi Refinement and none Refining God.
Not only was Refining God harder, requiring more high-tier resources, but more likely because Refining God cultivators found it easier to awaken upon reaching the high tier.
If they reached Ninth Tier Primordial Spirit Realm, they probably wouldn't need external forces, as a Primordial Spirit Realm strong could cleave their Primordial Spirit and sever that connection.
Tong Weishun only briefly mentioned the Langya Incarnation Technique before the old eunuch started to laugh.
"So that's it, this somewhat resolves the doubt that's been in my heart all this time. Why don't we start with me, at least I'm Seventh Tier Yang God Realm, I should be able to hold on a bit longer."
As they spoke, Yu Ziqing finally arrived.
Seeing the five Ninth Tier here, excluding Zhong Shouzheng, there were four more, Yu Ziqing couldn't help but be shocked.
These were just those Tong Weishun found in haste.
There might not be any more Ninth Tier, but surely there were more incarnations below Ninth Tier.
And these were just the ones still alive.
If counting Cui Changping and that old eunuch, it would make six.
That chief director was truly bold and insane.
"Are there any others?" Yu Ziqing asked.
"We really couldn't find more, maybe these are all, or maybe we just haven't found them yet. Our area for activity is only Dali.
It's uncertain whether there are any in Daqian and Dazhen."
"Then let's start, we can't wait any longer. If we do, he'll definitely get suspicious."
The First Generation Compass had only been released for a short time, and already they found loopholes to circumvent its detection.
There surely were others, but for now, they couldn't search in secret.
But even if there were, Yu Ziqing estimated at most one or two more Ninth Tier, no more.
It wasn't that there weren't enough genius incarnations, but rather a lack of resources.
These few Ninth Tier probably accumulated over two or three thousand years.
Having killed two Ninth Tier incarnations earlier, and now cutting off four Ninth Tier incarnations in one go, left him cornered, with no funds left.
Yu Ziqing looked at the group.
"Who's first?"
"I'll go first." The old eunuch glanced at everyone, smiled and said, "If I succeed, your chances should be better. If I die, then you all wait longer. Besides, I came here to die anyway."
"Alright."
Yu Ziqing took out a Second Generation Compass that looked identical to the First, confirming each one in turn.
He confirmed that all four here were incarnations, then reconfirmed that Zhong Shouzheng was neither a true body nor an incarnation.
Only then did Yu Ziqing take out a new Compass and tossed it out.
In an instant, a faint light fell, adding another barrier here.
"This Magical Treasure can temporarily block the connection between you and the Evil Dao, but only temporarily."
"I say, can you handle this? The operations on the Divine Soul are extremely delicate, any mistake could lead to soul obliteration." Zhong Shouzheng couldn't help but ask.
Yu Ziqing laughed and asked if someone from Jinlan Mountain could be precise and meticulous?
