Chapter 4108: Dog bites dog

Damn it, who exactly is opposing my Xingyao Sect?

Grand Elder Ju He cursed fiercely, yet he was completely clueless.

Kou Hongliao's expression was grim. No matter who was behind this, that person was first of all incredibly cunning, and second, possessed formidable strength.

To be able to annihilate nine Saint Emperors in a short period was definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve.

Alright, notify our people to return to Tiansheng City now. Do not continue the investigation for the time being.

Ultimately, he ordered a retreat. No matter who the opponent was, they were definitely not someone his subordinates could provoke. This matter required a slow and methodical approach.

The immediate priority was to help the Sect improve its strength, and for now, they needed to return to Tiansheng City.

Regardless of his relationship with Ye Bufan, the latter's Alchemy skill was absolutely beyond doubt, so this opportunity for Alchemy could not be wasted.

With a command, Kou Hongliao led the people of Xingyao Sect back to Tiansheng City in a dejected manner.

At this moment, Ye Bufan and his group were also traveling. Qin Fei pulled his sleeve and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Sister, I don't know either. Who knows what got into Xingyao Sect and Lingxiao Sect? With my meager strength, how would I dare provoke them?

Ye Bufan naturally wouldn't tell the truth. It wasn't that he didn't trust Qin Fei, but rather that there was no benefit in saying more about such matters.

Whether it was slaying the nine Saint Emperors of Xingyao Sect or the three people who died from Lingxiao Sect, such things were difficult to explain and involved too many of his secrets. He simply played dumb and flat-out denied it.

Qin Fei also thought so. In her eyes, this younger brother's medical Dao and Alchemy were unparalleled, but his cultivation was still a bit lacking.

Whether it was slaying the Saint Emperors of Xingyao Sect or implanting a soul imprint on Gongshu Zhan, he didn't have that ability.

In contrast, Sword Emperor was calm and indifferent, not interested in these things.

Don't pay them so much mind. Let's seize the time to comprehend Chaotic Origin Energy. As long as we advance to Sixth Grade Saint Emperor, everything else is fleeting.

As a seasoned Five-Rank Saint Emperor and a Sword Dao Genius, through his comprehension during this period, he felt he had gained some insight, and perhaps a Breakthrough was not far off.

You're right. Kou Hongliao and Ni Sakong are both Old things; let them fight amongst themselves.

Qin Fei said, then looked at Ye Bufan again, "But you must be careful. For the time being, try not to leave my side.

Once you complete the Alchemy, we will travel together when we leave. With me and Sword Emperor here, those Old things won't dare do anything to you.

Understood, Sister.

Ye Bufan chuckled, "Since Sister takes such good care of me, this little brother has no way to repay you, so I'll do Alchemy.

I'll first deal with the other Four Great Sects. By then, Sister can refine as many Medicinal Pills as she wants and whatever Medicinal Pills she desires.

Both Sword Emperor Qin Fei were delighted. The Foundation for a Sect's powerful development still lay in cultivation resources, and Medicinal Pills were the most crucial part of that.

Having a top Immortal Pill Master refine Medicinal Pills without regard for cost was absolutely a grand gift.

Seeing that the two wanted to express their gratitude, Ye Bufan preempted them, saying, "Senior Sword Emperor, Sister, there are some things I don't understand and would like to ask you about.

Qin Fei said, "Why be so polite with your sister? Just ask whatever you want.

It's like this: after our Human Race Cultivators reach the Rank of Saint Emperor, they increase their strength by gaining more elemental control.

Second Grade Saint Emperor, Third Grade Saint Emperor, and even reaching the legendary True Saint Emperor.

What about other races? For example, the Dark Ghost Immortal, they can't possibly follow this path, right?

And those people from War God Heaven, and the Dragon Clan, how do they increase their strength?

You mean that? It's actually very simple.

Whether it's the Dark Ghost Immortal, the Prehistoric Race from War God Heaven, or the Dragon Clan from Demon Emperor Heaven, they all have their own Dao of Cultivation, and in the end, they are no weaker than the Human Race's powerhouses.

Sword Emperor said, "However, the path they take is different from the Human Race. After they reach the Rank of Immortal Emperor, they don't need to Master more elements.

For example, the Dark Ghost Immortal, upon reaching their peak, the most important attribute of the dark energy they control is Devouring.

They have their own Ghost Immortal Domain, and what they need to do is devour all of the opponent's energy, including their Immortal Emperor Domain.

As long as their strength is strong enough, no matter how many elements we control, they will be devoured by dark energy.

Oh!

Ye Bufan nodded, then asked, "So, they only need to Cultivate their own single attribute element, and that's enough?

Immortal Emperor said, "That's right. Whether it's the Dark Ghost Immortal, the Dragon Clan, or the Prehistoric Race, what they need to do is push their own strength to the extreme.

However, they also have slight differences. The Dark Domain of the Dark Ghost Immortal speaks of Devouring, while the Dragon Clan and the Prehistoric Race speak of domineering suppression.

Whether it's the Dragon Emperor Domain or the War God Domain, what stands out is the word 'domineering.' The Dark Domain devours our elements, while their Domain suppresses everything, leaving our elements nowhere to exist.

That is to say, when you fight against the Dragon Emperor, within his Domain, you will not be able to draw any Five Elements energy.

Ye Bufan frowned, "Doesn't that mean our Human Race will be at a disadvantage when fighting other races?

You can't say that either. It's just different Cultivation methods. Ultimately, it still depends on whose strength is stronger or weaker.

For example, water can overcome fire, but who can guarantee that an Immortal with water attribute can defeat one with fire attribute?

It is precisely because of this that the various races have coexisted peacefully for so many years. The fundamental reason is that their strengths are not too different, and no one has the ability to annihilate the other.

I understand.

Ye Bufan felt relieved, having clarified the direction of Cultivation for Ye Tian and others.

He then asked, "Then how do the various races classify their Cultivation Ranks?

Sword Emperor said, "It's actually quite amusing. Those Cultivators from other races don't have clear Ranks themselves, so they use our Human Race as a reference.

For example, the Prehistoric Race from War God Heaven, if they can fight against a First Grade Saint Emperor of our Human Race, then they are a First Grade Saint God. And so on, if they can fight against a Five-Rank Saint Emperor, they are a Five-Rank Saint God.

Through his conversation with Sword Emperor, Ye Bufan indeed gained a lot of information.

Senior Sword Emperor, can you tell me about the Five Great Saint Emperors of ancient times? Why did they ultimately fight, and how did they fall?

What he most wanted to know was the fallen place of Yuan Yao Fairy, but such a thing was not easy to ask directly, so he took a roundabout approach.

You mean that?

Sword Emperor said, "During the ancient great war, the head of Qin Jian Mountain Manor was the Ethereal Sword Emperor, who was also my Grandmaster.

According to my Master, my Grandmaster went to War God Heaven alone with his sword at that time, but never returned after going.

What exactly happened? Where did he go? Whether he is alive or dead is still unknown.

Oh!

Ye Bufan was utterly disappointed. He had originally hoped to learn more, but it seemed Sword Emperor didn't know much more than he did.

It seems he can only meet the people of Huanjian Sect and see if they know any information about Yuan Yao Fairy, at least where she fell.

The group moved extremely fast. As the two talked, Tiansheng City was already visible in the distance.

Qin Fei said, "Alright, let's talk about other things later. Let's hurry and do Alchemy for the various Sects.
