Chapter 266_5
That was just a Golden Core Second Layer existence. Ever since the White Fog appeared in our East Breeze, enabling us to see the situation on the other side through the fog, we have always had a large number of experts stationed at the borders of East Breeze.
Normally, Eastern Wasteland should do the same, but they have no one guarding, so I deduced that Eastern Wasteland might be very weak.
Of course, I didn't make my judgment based solely on this. As I continued on my journey, I noticed very few people around, and along the way, I also saw two abandoned sects. Those two sects were clearly massive, but completely desolate.
If not for severe infighting in Eastern Wasteland, how could their sects be abandoned?
Even the third sect I saw, although it had people, was very rudimentary. That sect had only two individuals from beginning to end, one of whom was from another Immortal Sect.
Moreover, the materials for their Mountain Protection Array were also very poor, so I comprehensively deduced that the infighting in Eastern Wasteland is very severe."
Upon hearing this, the Disciple responsible for guarding outside immediately laughed. He finally understood why the other party would make such a deduction. After thinking for a moment, he gently nodded and said, "In fact, what you've thought isn't wrong.
It's just that the situation you encountered is somewhat special.
First of all, the area where you are located is called the Great Lai Dynasty, and the Great Lai Dynasty is indeed a desolate place in our Eastern Wasteland.
In the past, the Great Lai Dynasty had three Immortal Sects, and all three of those Immortal Sects had provoked our Hundred Peaks Sect. Later, they became afraid and, without waiting for us to act, all three sects fled.
To this day, our Hundred Peaks Sect has not found where they have hidden. Because they fled, their three Immortal Sects were thus deserted. Among them, the sect closest to our Hundred Peaks Sect was later founded by Fairy Qiao Jingyao, and that's also because Fairy Qiao Jingyao had some connections with our Hundred Peaks Sect.
As for the other two sects, even though our Hundred Peaks Sect has not claimed that those two belong to us, nor have we the intention to occupy them, still no one has gone there to establish a new sect.
And the Immortal Sect that Fairy Qiao Jingyao re-founded has only been in existence for over forty years, such a short period of time naturally means there are no high-level experts and not many Disciples."
Gu Ling finally understood that it wasn't really an issue with his deduction. Normally, his judgments wouldn't be incorrect; it was just his misfortune to have encountered this unique situation.
However, there was still something he didn't understand.
"Afterward, I met an Immortal who said he was the Peak Master of the Second Peak of your Hundred Peaks Sect, but he was only at Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill Perfect Completion, so I thought that he should be the second strongest person in your Hundred Peaks Sect.
I later inquired and found out that your Hundred Peaks Sect really is the strongest Immortal Sect in the entire Eastern Wasteland, with the strongest peak among a hundred peaks. If the second strongest person of the second strongest peak isn't at the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection, I became even more certain that your Hundred Peaks Sect isn't that powerful, so the Immortal Cultivation world of Eastern Wasteland must also not be strong."
The Disciple outside immediately laughed upon hearing this: "Elder Brother Wu Xiang is indeed the Peak Master of the Five Elements Peak, and the Five Elements Peak is indeed our Hundred Peaks Sect's second-ranked peak. However, Elder Brother Wu Xiang's strength does not rank second in our Hundred Peaks Sect.
In our Hundred Peaks Sect, the strongest person is naturally our Sect Leader, but it's not necessarily the case that the Peak Masters are the strongest. Like in our highest-ranked Flying Immortal Peak, even though the Peak Master is Elder Brother Nie Jie with Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, Elder Brother Nie Jie is not the strongest in the Flying Immortal Peak.
Moreover, our Hundred Peaks Sect has a Four Treasures Peak, which you may have seen before. Yan Yourong, Xiang Ziyu, Bei Yan, and Yi Sheng were all from the Four Treasures Peak. It can be said that almost all the strongest people in our Hundred Peaks Sect come from Four Treasures Peak.
Our Sect Leader is the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak and is also the master of Yan Yourong and the others!"
Gu Ling was suddenly confused upon hearing this. If Four Treasures Peak was so strong, why wasn't it the number one ranked peak in the Hundred Peaks Sect? And he had another point that he didn't understand even more.
"One of the very important reasons for my judgment of Eastern Wasteland being weak was that the strongest Dynasty in your Eastern Wasteland is actually called the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty. Such a name clearly indicates that mortal emperors have greater authority than your Immortal Cultivation world, which is why I believed your Immortal Cultivation world to be extremely weak.
I even visited a city in your Eastern Wasteland, saw mortals, and in speaking with the mortals of Eastern Wasteland, I found that they are not at all afraid of us Cultivators, even saying that Cultivators and mortals are equal. This further convinced me that your Cultivators are weak."
"The existence of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty is due to the fact that prior to the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, there was a universally acknowledged number one strongest person who came from the imperial court."
The soldier on lookout outside paused briefly before saying, "As for why the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty still exists now, it's because there is a universally acknowledged number one strongest person in today's Eastern Wasteland, who is our Sect Leader of Hundred Peaks Sect and also the State Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
He has ordered the maintenance of equality between mortals and Immortals, thus the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty still exists, and everyone continues to abide by the laws of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty."
The number one strongest in Eastern Wasteland.
Han Qingyang suddenly thought of the Xiang Ziyu he had encountered before, who despite being so formidable, was still not the strongest in Eastern Wasteland.
