Chapter 1951: Chapter 1944: Not Impossible After All
"You found the exit to the Endless Land?"
Upon hearing this news, the sect masters of the other four superpowers showed envious expressions. Throughout countless histories of the Endless Land, only one person had ever taken a great risk to escape, and they initially thought that Zhang Menglong and his team had used some opportunistic method.
But they didn’t expect that he had actually found the exit to the Endless Land!
In that case, the Sunset Sect could directly send large numbers of disciples to that Endless Land and start massive talent cultivation. As for the aftermath of hunting Phantom Profound Beasts, judging by the condition of Zhang Menglong and his team, did they seem to be affected by any consequences? Obviously, he had found a corresponding solution.
"Brother Gu Xiao, we really have to thank your generous help for saving Mount Yushen this time." The sect master of Mount Yushen sincerely thanked Zhang Menglong. Had he arrived a bit later, they might have suffered the same fate as other superpowers.
"You’re too kind, senior," Zhang Menglong replied with a smile. "Let’s not forget that Mount Yushen has sheltered our Sunset Sect for so long, otherwise my fellow disciples would have been like lost dogs."
"Furthermore," Zhang Menglong glanced at the majestic mountain range of Mount Yushen, "if it wasn’t for this Illusory God, even if I had come, I wouldn’t be able to deal with the Nine Abyss Beast. We also have to rely on the foundation of Mount Yushen, so it should be me thanking you!"
Zhang Menglong subtly flattered the sect master of Mount Yushen without taking all the credit for himself, which gave the master a favorable impression of the young man he was meeting for only the second time.
Soon, the disciples of the five sects finished cleaning the battlefield. Apart from the Vice Hall Master of the Divine Profound Hall, all the elders and disciples of the hall were either killed on the spot or captured with their powers sealed.
As for those cronies gathered by the Ninth Grade Empire in the secular world, they directly captured the key figures and temporarily imprisoned them at Mount Yushen, as they had plenty of time to deal with the Ninth Grade Empire once the Divine Profound Hall was settled.
At this moment, Zhang Menglong had become the common hero in the hearts of the disciples from the five super sects. His posture while commanding the Illusory God and battling the Nine Abyss Beast had deeply engraved in their minds.
Prior to encountering Zhang Menglong, they only saw this disciple of the Sunset Sect as arrogant and self-centered, good for nothing but causing trouble. Now they realized Zhang Menglong was not the kind of person they imagined. Upon reflection, all disputes with him were initiated by others, and he never actively sought out conflicts.
Analyzing this, he was actually both knowledgeable and virtuous. Although immediate revenge wasn’t necessarily an outstanding quality, it certainly wasn’t a flaw, and the virtues he displayed were infinitely magnified in everyone’s hearts.
"Brother Gu Xiao, lead us to avenge ourselves!"
"Brother Gu Xiao, my elder brother is in Yujian Villa which was almost entirely plundered by the Divine Profound Hall. We’ve lost all contact with him. The actions of the Divine Profound Hall are simply outrageous!"
"Outrageous doesn’t even begin to describe it! They’re afraid we’ll complete our entire legacy and surpass the Divine Profound Hall, so they struck first, killing us in the cradle while conveniently stealing our resources. This is simply a crime against humanity!"
"We ask Senior Gu Xiao to lead us to take revenge on the Divine Profound Hall!"
The thunderous voice echoed throughout the sky above Mount Yushen, and people from five superpowers suddenly became exceptionally united at this moment.
"What’s wrong with you all?" The sect master of Mount Yushen roared angrily. "Do you think this matter can be dealt with just like that? Do you know what kind of foundation the Divine Profound Hall acquired from other superpowers? If you recklessly charge at the Divine Profound Hall, do you understand what kind of result this will lead to? This can’t be achieved with blind passion and momentary impulse!"
The sect master’s words instantly sobered up the disciples who still had hot-headed ideas.
Indeed, they had been somewhat intoxicated by their recent victory, causing them to forget the scene where the master of the Divine Profound Hall severely wounded five sect masters with just one move and made them forget about the Nine Abyss Beast attacking Mount Yushen, plunging the entire place into panic.
This was only the foundation of two superpowers, and they had no idea what resources and trump cards were held by the Divine Profound Hall. They weren’t just contending with one Divine Profound Hall; they were up against the resources of another 12 superpowers!
However, these five super sects had acquired no trump cards from Zhang Menglong to speak of. What they had gained were those things that required a long time to show their effectiveness, such as some legacy secret techniques or cultivation method legacies, which couldn’t be transformed into combat power in the short term.
It seemed they won a big victory today, but in reality, the gap between their strength and the Divine Profound Hall was still significant.
"Actually, it’s not entirely impossible," Zhang Menglong rubbed his chin. "But before that, we must be well-prepared. Do any of the sect masters know where the people from the other 12 superpowers are imprisoned? Surely they didn’t slaughter everyone, did they?"
"Not entirely," said the sect master of Mount Yushen. "Before we were besieged at Mount Yushen, there were many disciples outside, procuring materials or performing tasks, so they could still move freely. Although some were captured, there are still some hiding, and they brought us valuable information."
"Within the Divine Profound Hall territory, there is an empire called the Flaming Sun Divine Nation, a super Ninth Grade Empire, where all captured individuals from the 12 superpowers are imprisoned!"
"Divine Nation?" The sect masters and elders of the other four sects frowned.
It’s not just any empire that can be called a Divine Nation.
The continent is vast, and besides these superpowers, ordinary forces, and empires, there naturally exist entities that exceed ordinary empires and forces but fall slightly short of superpowers.
This Divine Nation is one such entity!
An empire must possess territory a hundred times larger than a typical Ninth Grade Empire to earn the title of Divine Nation.
An ordinary Eighth Grade Empire only has one Dao Realm Martial Artist, and a Ninth Grade Empire has around 10 Dao Realm Martial Artists; however, a Divine Nation must have tens of thousands of Dao Realm Martial Artists, and must have an Eighth Grade or higher Dao Realm martial artist to preside!
Such an existence is on par with a Vice Hall Master or Deputy Sect Master of a superpower!
This Flaming Sun Divine Nation is one of the strongest Divine Nations, ranking at least among the top ten leagues, boasting over twenty-eight thousand Dao Realm martial artists, with the king being a Ninth Grade Divine Cultivator. If not for being slightly lacking in foundation, they could even rival a superpower like the Sunset Sect.
It’s said that this Flaming Sun Divine Nation was initially supported by the Divine Profound Hall, with the first king being a contemporary of the first Hall Master of the Divine Profound Hall.
"Rescuing people from the Flaming Sun Divine Nation won’t be an easy task..."
