Chapter 2753 Reactions from all parties

Inside Jiuyuan City, countless cultivators gathered together, discussing the joint statement issued by the various major powers.

"What's going on? Why would the major powers suddenly issue such a joint statement? They're actually ceasing their attacks on ascended cultivators."

"Could it be that their conscience has finally awakened?"

"Impossible! The major forces of the native human race in the Spirit Realm have no conscience. They can't possibly have a change of heart. Something must have happened."

"Although we don't know exactly what happened, it's a good thing to end our human civil war."

"Yes, the native human forces' attack on the ascended forces is merely weakening our human race's strength."

"Now the Ascended forces can finally catch their breath."

"But even if they recover now, what can they do? Their resource areas have completely fallen into the hands of the major powers, and the Ascended suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles. Even if the major powers give up on dealing with the Ascended, their strength will be less than one-tenth of what it was before."

"Yes, I'm afraid the ascendants won't have an easy time from now on. I just don't know what the native human forces in the Spirit Realm are thinking. Do they really intend to let the ascendants go?"

"Yeah, could it be to lure out the Ascended Ones?"

"Do you think it might be because of the War Sect?"

"The War Sect is also an ascendant power, and I just received news that they have destroyed another cultivation city in the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom."

"What? The War Sect has destroyed another cultivation city in the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom? Is this news true?" The surrounding cultivators all looked over.

The cultivator nodded and said, "I only received the news today. It's probably true. It's said that Xuanwang City was destroyed, and the royal family and the forces that depended on the royal family suffered the same fate as Ningwang City."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if this is true, then it's interesting. The Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom suffered such a great loss at the hands of the War Sect, yet it is still willing to let go of the ascended cultivators. There must be a major reason for this."

"Forget it, these things aren't really relevant to us. Let's think about how to get more resources."

"Yes, since the theory of the unity of the three paths was verified, the consumption of resources has become too great, and it has become much more difficult to obtain resources."

"The prices of cultivation sites that can improve the speed of refining the spirit and body have also increased significantly, making life increasingly difficult for us ordinary cultivators."

"Damn local powers, it's all their fault for monopolizing resources!"

……

Outside Jiuyuan City, at the foot of a mountain range in the north, lies an underground cave, which is shrouded by a powerful array.

There is a teleportation array in the center of the cave.

At this moment, three clones gathered inside the cave. All three clones had reached the early stage of the Fusion Realm. The one on the left was a dignified middle-aged man with long crimson hair, wearing a crimson robe.

The man in the middle is an elderly man with silver hair, wearing a gray robe and a gourd hanging from his waist.

On the right is a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His gaze is extremely sharp, and his whole body exudes a strong aura of sword energy.

Suddenly, the central teleportation array rippled, and a figure was teleported onto the array. This was a cultivator at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

The moment the teleportation array was activated, the three clones inside the cave opened their eyes, and all six gazes were focused on the old man who had been teleported in.

"This disciple greets the three venerable ancestors." The Void Refinement stage elder respectfully bowed to the three clones.

"What is it?" the silver-haired old man in the center asked calmly.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, just now, the Tribulation Transcending stage experts from all the major forces of the human race in the Spirit Realm gathered in Nine Yuan City. I don't know what they discussed, but they suddenly issued a joint announcement, the contents of which are recorded here."

The cultivator at the Void Refinement stage respectfully presented a jade slip.

The three top experts immediately enveloped the jade slip with their divine senses and quickly understood all the contents of the jade slip. However, after reading the contents, the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators frowned.

"What do you two think?" The old man sitting in the center looked at the two people beside him.

The red-haired middle-aged man frowned and said, "Under normal circumstances, those guys would never let us go. However, since they have issued a joint statement, they can't just go back on their word. I believe this statement may be genuine, but there must be some reason why they issued it."

"I agree with Fellow Daoist Hong's point of view. Since it was a statement issued by a group of old monsters in the Tribulation Transcending stage, it should be true. However, just in case, we still cannot completely trust them and must conduct a detailed investigation."

Another middle-aged cultivator said with a serious expression.

The old man in the center nodded: "In recent years, our living space has been continuously compressed, our resource areas have been plundered, and many cultivators have been killed or captured. The threat to the native human race of the Spirit Realm is getting smaller and smaller. Even if they don't deal with us, it will be very difficult for us to recover the resource areas we have lost control of."

"Moreover, our ascension passage has been destroyed, and it will be difficult to rebuild it in a short time unless a Mahayana stage expert personally descends to the mortal realm, which is too dangerous."

"This matter is suspicious in every way and must be thoroughly investigated. After you return, mobilize all your resources and find out why the major powers are doing this."

"Disciple obeys." The cultivator below, at the Void Refinement stage, nodded respectfully.

"By the way, I asked you to investigate that Zhan Zong. Have you found any results yet?" the old man in the center suddenly asked.

The cultivator at the Void Refinement stage quickly replied, "This disciple has been investigating with all my might, but there was no news before. However, I happen to have some new information about them today."

"Oh? Tell me about it." The old man looked at the cultivator with great interest, and the two middle-aged cultivators beside him also showed great interest.

The cultivator at the Refinement stage quickly said, "This disciple has just received news that the War Sect has destroyed another cultivation city in the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom, and has also eliminated one of the Great Ascension stage avatars of the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom's ancestor."

"Oh? Another cultivation city of the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom has been destroyed. That's quite interesting."

"They can even destroy a Mahayana stage avatar, so do they have someone backing them?"

"The War Sect just destroyed a cultivation city in the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom, and the old monsters in the Tribulation Transcending stage of the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom issued a joint statement. Could there be a connection between these two events?"

The three clones in the fusion stage were all very interested when they heard this news.

When Zhan Zong publicly revealed the theory of the unity of the three paths and three cultivation methods and one secret technique, it had already attracted the attention of the ascendant forces. They, like the native human race of the Spirit Realm, were also investigating Zhan Zong, but they had not yet found anything.

“Continue to investigate the War Sect. It would be best if we could contact them. I am very interested in this suddenly emerging sect of ascendants,” the old man in the center said with great interest.

"Yes, disciple will do his utmost to investigate." The Void Refinement stage cultivator respectfully cupped his hands, then teleported away.
