Chapter 512: Newcomers
"Does the mountain master already know?" Meng Zihua asked with surprise in her eyes.
"Know what?" Xuan Ke questioned.
"Our Cangxing mountain has thirteen new nascent soul realm cultivators." Bei Chengling said with a smile on his lips.
"What?" Xuan Ke couldn’t believe it.
Before their group, Cangxing world cultivators had not gone to the Reincarnation world for one million years.
After their group, no new cultivators arrived in almost two thousand years.
Considering that, Xuan Ke and others thought there was still something hindering Cangxing world cultivators from entering the Reincarnation world.
Unexpectedly, thirteen new cultivators had suddenly arrived!
"What are their cultivation level?" Xuan Ke continued to question.
"Four are at the peak of the nascent soul realm and the rest are at the late stage." Gao Yong said and Jiang Yue nodded in approval before he spoke.
"The late and peak stages are not bad."
"Where are they?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"We have settled them in caves at the foot of the mountain. Unfortunately..." Meng Zihua said and frowned.
"Is something wrong?"
"The four at the peak of the nascent soul realm have already gone into seclusion. From their qi presence, they should be able to advance to the reincarnation realm within one hundred years."
"It doesn’t matter." Jiang Yue said in a relaxed voice.
"It’s a pity we can’t talk to them but the remaining nine are enough."
"Have you spoken to them?" Yu Nianzhen asked and looked at the three.
"We have." Gao Yong nodded and quickly continued.
"Three of the thirteen belong to the Border Guard faction. The remaining ten are from other forces." He started.
"From their description, the Cangxing world is slowly recovering. Because so many people died during the Death Flower Ascension Front war, the qi concentration has increased and herbs are growing more vigorously. However, too many experts died and the remaining nascent soul realm cultivators suddenly ascended to the Reincarnation World. As a result, many inheritances have been lost and cultivation has become more difficult."
"What a thing." Jiang Yue couldn’t help but sigh in helplessness.
Originally, resources were scarce and cultivators fought to death for herbs and treasures.
Two thousand years later, the Cangxing world had more than enough resources but the juniors were stuck because of inheritances.
"They will forge a way for themselves." Yu Nianzhen suddenly said.
Although it was difficult, it wasn’t impossible for current-age cultivators to develop new cultivation techniques and arts.
After all, unlike ancient cultivators who created everything from scratch, current-age cultivators had a rich foundation for reference.
"Mountain master Yu is right." Meng Zihua nodded in agreement and continued.
"Our task is to build a deep foundation in the Reincarnation world for our Cangxing people. In the same way, those in the Cangxing world will do their best to leave a legacy for future generations."
After that, everyone fell silent.
They hoped their assumption was right but even if it wasn’t, there was nothing they could do.
"Did they say anything about the sealed battlefield?" Yu Nianzhen asked and Bei Chengling nodded.
"The sealed battlefield is still the same. However, there have been changes in the foreign devils’ battlefield. Our Border Guards lost too many people and they can barely hold back the foreign devils."
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue and Xuan Ke frowned.
The Cangxing world and the foreign devils had been fighting for millions of years.
During those years, there were times when the foreign devils almost invaded the Cangxing mainland.
However, powerful Cangxing experts always came out to stabilise the situation.
Unfortunately, the current Cangxing world was in a weakened state and didn’t have any experts.
If the foreign devils overwhelmed the battlefield, they would easily control the Cangxing world.
"How many nascent soul realm cultivators are left in the Cangxing world?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"Not many." Meng Zihua frowned and recalled everything she heard from the newcomers.
"Each large force has at least two nascent soul realm cultivators. However, few are in the late or peak stage."
"The situation is not good." Jiang Yue muttered and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
Others didn’t know but he and Jiang Yue knew about the infinite transformations world guarding formation.
Now that the formation was gone, the Cangxing world was accessible to other worlds and hence more vulnerable.
"Are there alchemists, formation masters, and such amongst those who came?" Jiang Yue asked.
"There is one formation master and one weapon refining master." Gao Yong answered.
For the next three hours, the group of six talked about the newcomers and didn’t stop until all the information was exhausted.
After that, they switched to other topics and Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen slowly caught up with the situation in the Cangxing mountain.
"Unfortunately, there are a few people who want to move to other world mountains." Meng Zihua suddenly said.
At the same time, she removed a jade slip from her storage ring and handed it to Yu Nianzhen.
Seeing this, Yu Nianzhen took the jade slip and quickly checked the information before passing the slip to Jiang Yue.
"There is nothing unfortunate about this." Jiang Yue said after checking the information.
At first, he was surprised and a little disappointed that people wanted to leave the Cangxing mountain.
However, when he checked the information, he realised that most of the requests were from evil cultivators.
"During the challenge event, almost all the resources we got were suitable for orthodox cultivators. I guess the evil cultivators felt left out." Meng Zihua said and chuckled.
"The fight between righteous and evil cultivators has been going on since the beginning of time. If we can take this opportunity to transfer the scourge, it will be a win for our righteous cultivators." Xuan Ke said.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan is right. If the evil cultivators want to leave, we should let them leave." Gao Yong added and Xuan Ke nodded in agreement.
"A few are not evil cultivators." Yu Nianzhen stated and looked at Meng Zihua.
Seeing the look, Meng Zihua sighed before she spoke.
"Some are chasing better resources and cultivation environment. Some have fallen in love with foreign cultivators. Others have special bloodlines that are prominent in some foreign worlds. In the end, everyone has their reasons." She said and shrugged.
"As long as they remit the appropriate compensation, our Cangxing world will not hinder them." Yu Nianzhen said.
"We have also received requests from people who want to defect to our Cangxing world." Meng Zihua said and handed over another jade slip.
"There are people who want to join our Cangxing world?" Xuan Ke was surprised and quickly grabbed the jade slip.
"What’s wrong with our Cangxing world?" Jiang Yue grumbled and tried to grab the jade slip from Xuan Ke.
However, he was also surprised.
It’s not that he looked down on the Cangxing world but their situation was evident.
At the moment, it was unreasonable for anyone to want to join the Cangxing world.
"There are quite a few names." Xuan Ke said with a look of surprise.
"What are their motives? Do they want to join, steal our resources, and then leave our Cangxing mountain?"
"That’s not possible." Jiang Yue said and everyone turned to him.
"A cultivator can only defect once." He explained and turned to Yu Nianzhen.
"XiaoYue is right. Once they join our Cangxing mountain, they can no longer return to their home worlds or defect to another world." The swordsman explained.
"In that case, we should accept them all." Xuan Ke urged.
After all, the Cangxing mountain and Cangxing world needed experts.
If they could absorb experts from other world mountains, the situation of the Cangxing mountain would improve a lot.
"It’s not that simple." Jiang Yue said and sighed.
"We will receive compensation for the thirty-four people who want to leave our Cangxing mountain. However, there are one hundred and nine people who want to join us. At the moment, we don’t have enough resources to compensate their home mountains."
"I had forgotten about that." Xuan Ke said and frowned.
"Most importantly, we can’t be indiscriminate when accepting people. If we are careless, it may not only bring trouble to the Cangxing mountain but also the Cangxing world." Jiang Yue said.
"There is no need to worry about that." Yu Nianzhen said and raised an eyebrow while looking at Gao Yong.
"The mountain master is right." Gao Yong said and looked at Yu Nianzhen in admiration.
"What do you mean?" Bei Chengling asked.
"In the early years, mountain master Yu asked the information hall to take care of this matter. When someone requests to leave or join the mountain, our information hall initiates an investigation of the person. In this way, we can avoid overcompensating when accepting people or being cheated when releasing people." Gao Yong informed.
"We will first deal with those who want to leave the mountain. After that, we will consider those who want to enter." Yu Nianzhen decided and then turned to Meng Zihua.
