Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Chapter 148 Accumulation

Purple Cloud Courtyard.

"Hall Master Zhao, Elder Zhang, Master Wei, Master Lu."

Alkaid, with Yun Lai, greeted this group of visitors.

"Haha, Chief Alkaid, this time we came specifically to congratulate you," said Zhao He with a face full of joy. "Since last month, our sword cultivators completed their rearming and formally started patrolling the Posuo Island maritime area. We've encountered the Xuanming Sect's sword cultivator squads sixteen times. Sixteen encounters and each time, it ended in our complete victory...

at the very least, we came back unscathed! Whenever our Primordial Spirit Realm Great Cultivators provided remote support, those from Xuanming Sect didn't even think about escaping. In just one month, the number of sword cultivators Xuanming Sect lost reached forty-five."

"Forty-five people!?"

Alkaid was somewhat astonished.

At this time, those stationed at Posuo Island were the most elite high-rank sword cultivators.

That is, the Qi Refinement Ninth Layer sword cultivators.

The Eighth Layer was on patrol in non-frontline zones, and the Seventh Layer could only be stationed locally.

As for those below the Seventh Layer, they were basically not included in the battle sequence.

Alkaid did not know how many Qi Refinement Ninth Layer sword cultivators there were in the Nine Cauldrons Sect, but for a small to medium-sized sect like Xuanming Sect, having one to eight hundred was already the limit.

A loss of forty-five in one month...

Didn't that mean that at this intensity, in two years' time, they could thoroughly break the lineage of the most elite high-rank sword cultivators of Xuanming Sect?

"What are our losses?"

Yun Lai inquired.

"Only one sword cultivator, who practiced the Supreme Perception sword technique, chose to change his profession after being mentally shaken during a Divine Sense confrontation. He should be serving as a practical combat instructor at a Sword Cultivation Academy in some academy or become the Chief of a Sword Cultivation Academy," Zhao He said with a smile.

"Sword cultivators who have served on the front lines and then retired due to injury are absolutely not mistreated by the sect."

As he spoke, he looked at Yun Lai, "Speaking of accomplishments, the squad led by Yun Qing did exceptionally well. A month ago, they encountered an ambush by six Xuanming Sect sword cultivators.

Without the support of a Primordial Spirit Realm Great Cultivator on our side, they withstood the Great Cultivator's opposition and counter-killed the six major sword cultivators of Xuanming Sect, coming out unscathed. Each of the four of them was credited with a major merit! It probably won't take long for his rank to rise to a protector in the Campaign Hall."

"Protector!?"

Yun Lai was both surprised and delighted.

A protector was on par with a Chief.

Typically, only Foundation Establishment Realm Great Cultivators were qualified to serve as one.

However, a protector at the Campaign Hall ranked half a level below that of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, and some highly meritorious high-rank cultivators could also hold the position temporarily.

If they could become Great Cultivators in the future, it would be easy for them to remove the prefix and be promoted to a Nine Cauldrons Sect protector, and the status that came with that...

Was enough to sit on equal footing with people like the City Lord of Dragon Majestic City, Zhang Jianlin, Qin Yi.

"The achievements in the East Sea Archipelago have been noted by those above. Now they are already discussing increasing the order quantity for Purple Cloud Twelve," Zhao He said, pausing. "However, some elders have pointed out some deficiencies of the Purple Cloud Twelve, that is the lack of explosiveness."

"Explosiveness..."

"Interior Grade Spiritual Artifacts are the most cost-effective choice for high-rank sword cultivators, but it can be foreseen that with such a heavy loss this month, Xuanming Sect's counterattack will inevitably become fierce. Our Nine Cauldrons Sect's sword cultivators will also face more severe challenges.

In such circumstances, our Nine Cauldrons Sect's sword cultivators must have the power to burst forth and counterattack when they face danger," Zhao He glanced at Alkaid. "I have specifically brought Masters Wei Yan and Lu Yuan this time in hopes that you can take a look and see if it's possible to further improve the Purple Cloud Twelve, enhancing its explosiveness...

For cost-effectiveness, we can do without this ability, but we must have it."

"Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts, Superior Grade Spiritual Artifacts..."

Alkaid glanced at his own progress in [Artifact Refining] over the past few months and said, "It's not that we can't improve it, but… can the sect's budget support the procurement of Medium Grade, or even Superior Grade Spiritual Artifacts?"

After all, Great Cultivators who were not in the combat sequence were normally equipped with only Superior Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

"They mean to hit hard with one punch rather than endure a hundred," Zhao He said gravely. "Besides... we've received news that after the dissolution of the Northern Alliance, the Myriad Beasts Sect seems unwilling to continue confronting the powerful Limitless Star Palace.

They are actively signaling for peace, and once the situation in the north eases, one of Limitless Star Palace's patrolling fleets will become available. They are very likely to look for the next division target to consolidate their position as the first great sect of Cangwu. "

These words made even Wei Yan and Lu Yuan, who had come along, turn stern.

The Limitless Star Palace: sixteen years ago, it demonstrated a despairingly powerful presence to all forces in Cangwu by defeating the Quicksand Sect with an unstoppable force.

The Nine Cauldrons Sect...

Deep down, everyone felt they did not possess the strength to oppose the Limitless Star Palace.

"Lest Xuanming Sect seeks support from the Limitless Star Palace when the time comes, we need to flex our muscles again. On one hand, we have to quickly take down Xuanming Sect, and on the other hand, make Limitless Star Palace realize that helping the wall-leaning mud of Xuanming Sect against our Nine Cauldrons Sect is not a profitable deal," said Zhao He.

Yun Lai, Wei Yan, Lu Yuan, and the others nodded upon hearing this.

Compared to other medium and even large sects, the Nine Cauldrons Sect has one advantage that no large sect possesses.

Golden Core!

The Nine Cauldrons Sect has Golden Cores!

In such circumstances, if the Limitless Star Palace truly had to choose among the medium and large sects for a feast, the Nine Cauldrons Sect would definitely be at the bottom of the list.

However, Wei Yan's expression darkened at the thought: "Now, we can only pray that they don't choose us as their prey first, to be at their mercy... I wonder when our Nine Cauldrons Sect can truly regain the glory of the past Ten Great Immortal Sects and have the power comparable to the Limitless Star Palace."
