Chapter 88
"Ah~ The wonderful scent of incense."
I don't know what time of the day it is. There is no distinction between day and night in the underground cave. Li Changmeng walked out of the cave house and took a deep breath.
In just half a year, among the four or five thousand believers in the underground cave, all of them had acquired cultivation bases, and everyone had reclaimed spiritual fields for incense.
This already spacious underground cave became even more spacious due to the reclamation of a large number of spiritual fields for incense.
Moreover, the emergence of a large number of spiritual fields for incense made the power of the incense wishes pervading the entire underground cave even more intense.
In other words, even though the power of these incense wishes was all directed towards Li Changmeng, that is, the Dao Lord Mi Meng Wang Qing, the concentration of this power of incense wishes was sufficient to deter most cultivators.
In such an environment, Li Changmeng's cultivation progress was extremely rapid. At the same time, he also created some avatars and began to tentatively inquire about the situation outside.
One of his avatars tried to go to the Ten-City Alliance to find the existing faith connection there. However, before it could get close, it was killed by the residual power of the rampant spells.
The residual power of a Deity Transformation Divine Lord was too difficult to resist for those who had not reached the Nascent Soul realm.
Therefore, Li Changmeng had to give up.
As for the Hairman's side, it didn't last long. A Deity Transformation cultivator came to the door and wiped out the small sect that he had finally managed to control. Fortunately, he had already parasitized some weak demonic beasts in the wild, so he should be able to survive.
However, the incense statue on that side was also damaged, and the connection with that place was temporarily cut off.
"However, four or five thousand Qi Refining cultivators. Even for a Nascent Soul sect, I'm afraid only a Nascent Soul-level force can have such a foundation."
Although temporarily confined in this underground cave, Li Changmeng felt that his foundation was becoming deeper and deeper.
An ordinary Foundation Establishment force usually only has dozens of Qi Refining cultivators and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.
And the Qingmiao Sect, in the past, only had several hundred Qi Refining cultivators and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators.
For a Golden Core force or a Nascent Soul-level force, the number of Qi Refining cultivators might be a bit more, but not too many.
There was only one reason: cultivators with too poor talent were not worth cultivating.
Cultivators with extremely low talent who had no hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm in their entire lives? Then you'd better stay as an ordinary mortal.
For a large force, at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be considered as a cornerstone of a sect.
Unlike the Ancient Immortal Sect, among its four or five thousand believers, regardless of gender, age, and even without talent, they could be forced to cultivate, resulting in such a large number of cultivators.
In the Ancient Immortal Sect, everyone can be like a dragon!
"Now the Ancient Immortal Sect has a new development. It has changed from being lambs to herding for the gods."
Li Changmeng absorbed the thick power of incense wishes, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable. It was time to tell them about the current situation the Ancient Immortal Sect was facing.
In the simple temple, which was a simple temple built in the underground cave, Li Changmeng chose to gather the ten cultivators with the highest cultivation bases and the sect leader of the Ancient Immortal Sect here.
"Lady Saint, everyone is here."
The old sect leader said in a solemn voice, and everyone's eyes focused on Li Changmeng.
Except for the old sect leader, who, due to his advanced age, had only reached the second level of Qi Refining even with a flesh core, the others had generally reached the sixth level of Qi Refining in half a year.
Xu Wen was in the lead, reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining, standing out far ahead.
"Well, all of you have made rapid progress in cultivation. In the future, the development of the Ancient Immortal Sect will surely depend on you. So, there are some things I think I need to tell you."
"What things?"
Seeing Li Changmeng's serious expression, everyone couldn't help but ask.
"It's about the enemies of the Ancient Immortal Sect. Our Ancient Immortal Sect was suddenly massacred, forcing us to hide in this underground place. Tens of millions of our fellow believers have perished. You should understand that the Ancient Immortal Sect has enemies, and they are very powerful."
Everyone nodded. What Li Changmeng said was something that they, who were barely surviving underground, could naturally understand.
"Lady Saint, we are not afraid of having enemies. We are not afraid of having powerful enemies either. But... we don't even know who our enemies are."
"Yes, Lady Saint. In the past, we were too weak and could only choose to flee. And even when fleeing, only we are left. Who exactly are our enemies?"
Not even knowing who the enemy was, this was the sorrow of being weak.
Looking at everyone's demands, Li Changmeng simply said, "The enemy is all cultivators."
There was complete silence.
Among them, some had thought that the enemy was a certain top cultivator, some had thought that the enemy was a certain powerful force, and some had even thought that the enemy might be all the cultivators in an entire region.
But they had never thought that it was all cultivators.
It was simply astonishing.
What was the reason that made all cultivators want to completely wipe out the Ancient Immortal Sect?
"What, are you scared?"
Seeing everyone's silence, Li Changmeng smiled faintly and said.
Xu Wen shook his head: "When have the believers of the Ancient Immortal Sect ever been afraid? If cultivators are enemies of the Ancient Immortal Sect, they are enemies of the Dao Lord. Since they are enemies of the Dao Lord, they must all be eliminated.
It's just that we hate that we are still too weak. With our current strength, I'm afraid we can't deal with those powerful cultivators."
The introduction of the realms at the beginning of the God Feeding Technique mentioned seven major realms, and what they were cultivating was only the content of the first realm.
"It's not just about not being afraid. They regard the Dao Lord as a demonic being from outside the realm and are extremely afraid. They see us as demons and want to completely wipe us out.
There is an essential hatred between us and those cultivators. We have the power bestowed upon us by the Dao Lord, and those lost people will eventually not be our match."
Li Changmeng was full of confidence in the current Ancient Immortal Sect. They were no longer just mortal believers who could only provide the power of incense wishes, but cultivators with cultivation bases.
If he wanted to deal with the cultivation world alone, it would take too much time and be too dangerous.
The Ancient Immortal Sect and its followers were all his power and could grow rapidly.
"Lady Saint is right. Those cultivators are all lost people. We have the power bestowed by the Dao Lord and will definitely eliminate them."
The old sect leader spoke at the right time, guiding everyone's emotions.
"Yes, so what if we are enemies with all cultivators? We already have a grudge against them! Didn't we gain strength just to take revenge and return to the surface?"
Xu Wen also shouted. As the cultivator with the highest cultivation base among all the believers, he had already made up his mind to follow in the footsteps of Lady Saint, lead all the believers, return to the surface, and take revenge!
He originally had a very happy life, living in a small town, with a harmonious family and a lovely younger sister.
But in the end, only he was selected to participate in the escape plan.
His family members all stayed in the small town.
Was all of this caused by those cultivators?
Was the Dao Lord a demonic being from outside the realm?
How could that be? They, who believed in the Dao Lord, were clearly the happiest people!
It was only those sinful cultivators who had destroyed that precious happiness.
He longed for revenge. Even if he had to be an enemy of the whole world, so what?
