According to Wen Shiren's judgment, Cheng Zong could at least defend Northern Town Pass for three years. After that, he could establish one or two fortified cities with defensive arrays beyond Northern Town Pass.
Three years, three years, and another three years—based on Wen Shiren's strategy of inching forward, the Ninth Underworld would need at least ten sets of three years, or even twenty sets of three years, to successfully attack Dong Chengzong.
After losing Northern Town Pass, Cheng Zong could still resist within the territory of Zhangguo initially. Other gatekeepers would intervene in the war, and after the conflict, Cheng Zong could rebuild anew, just as Bu Luo would no longer deny the existence of Ru Ming's vast entity.
Wen Shiren was unaware that the battle at the academy prompted various major factions to reassess the strength of the Great Qin Ying Clan, which possessed Yin Tianheng and Qian Kun Gang. This shifted the focus of the battlefield towards Cheng Zong, with nearly two-thirds of the Nine Nether Alliance appearing on Cheng Zong's defensive line, leading to the previous swift destruction of Northern Town Pass.
This was perhaps Wen Shiren's most foolish mistake—misjudging the strength of both sides, which cost them dearly.
In the past, they had desperately sought to rescue themselves from peril, but now it seemed they had little confidence in their own rescue plans.
If only Ye You were here, he thought unconsciously.
Gu Mingnian was already in his forties but had never felt so powerless before; all elements—timing, location, and manpower—seemed to be in Mistake's favor. Attempting a counterattack felt increasingly difficult.
As for whether they could rescue anyone, it depended on how much pressure the imperial army could exert on the Nine Nether Army.
He had always harbored a question.
Hong Ling looked at Bei Qin with a puzzled expression, somewhat dazed. In her impression, it was rare to see him speak with such uncertainty and a hint of anger.
How many Celestial Beings were there in the Transcendence Period? How many Earth Immortals were there at the Mahayana Stage? With an accumulation of eighty thousand years, it should not be a small number. Why had the war dragged on for so long without even a glimpse of a Transcendence cultivator?
He did not know, but at least two Mahayana Practitioners were present in the Treasure Pavilion. The Hong Clan always had one Mahayana Practitioner stationed there, and it could be confirmed that outside the Super Sect, there were at least one or two Mahayana Practitioners stationed. It seemed that there should be around ten to fourteen Mahayana Practitioners in total, with four or five Loose Cultivators also being Mahayana Practitioners. The situation of the demon clan was hard to gauge, especially deep within the Flowing Cloud Realm at the Tongshan Sea Boundary, where a Demon Emperor was stationed; no one knew the specifics.
From this perspective, Tiandong should have more than twenty Mahayana Practitioners. What about the Transcending Tribulation Loose Immortals?
Almost.
When Liu Lao Jiu answered Gu's question, those years spent struggling alongside Loose Cultivators had left Liu Lao Jiu without any demeanor of a Major Sect disciple. Bu Luo was right; those matters were somewhat undeniable. He had some basic judgments.
Taking the academy as an example, once a Transcendence cultivator successfully passed the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and became an Earth Immortal, there would be a Mahayana Practitioner in the heavens attempting to become a true immortal. Therefore, that number generally maintained a ratio of one to one, not deviating much from that.
The Jade Void Sect was an exception. From the news obtained over the years from Sky's End Tower, it appeared that the Jade Void Sect had at least three Mahayana Practitioners and five Transcending Tribulation Loose Immortals. Moreover, the most terrifying aspect was that the Jade Void Sect had at least one True Disciple in the Transcendence Realm. This was what gave Feiyuxuzong the confidence to unify Tiandong; after all, every Transcendent Practitioner had the potential to become a Combined Cultivator if they were willing to put in the effort and time. Thus,
Hong Ling helplessly revealed that shocking number: even Cheng Zong, who was stationed at the Sect for years as a Transcendent Practitioner, would not exceed forty individuals. Even after many years in Dong Lai, there would be at most sixty or seventy Transcendent Practitioners; Combined Cultivators would certainly not exceed ten.
Based on the number of Transcendence disciples in Jade Void Sect, there should be at least thirty to forty Refining Spirit Practitioners and at least twenty Combined Cultivators. Such high-end combat power could easily handle one against two; if it were an ordinary Sect facing Jade Void Sect, they would have little resistance.
No wonder Gu Xin felt a sense of understanding rising within him as another question quietly surfaced in his mind.
'If Ming Tai Xu's power is indeed unmatched by other sects, what if Tai Xu produced another respected figure?'
Hong Ling's words made Gu Xin's heart race, causing his cheeks to twitch involuntarily.
No wonder Jade Void Sect aimed for absolute victory with their Light Canon; even though they already knew their master Fei Tian Dong was invincible against Yin Tianheng, Jade Void Sect still sought to secure their position.
In truth, if there were two great powers to contend with, Tai Xu would likely dare to boldly step forward, forcing the entire world to kneel and submit. Other factions, aside from forming alliances, could hardly find another path. Yet, when it comes to matters of life and death, which faction would be willing to ally with another?
Tai Xu.
Gu silently repeated those three characters in his mind. He always felt that the greatest obstacle in his path was none other than Feiyuxuzong.
Splash.
At some point, a light drizzle began to fall outside, gradually intensifying until it was accompanied by the rumble of thunder.
In the distant sky, a palace appeared intermittently above Northern Town Pass, flickering in and out of view.
With a mocking expression, Pei Shigui stood at the front of the palace, looking down at everyone in Northern Town Pass. A powerful aura emanated from the palace, creating an oppressive atmosphere that even Gu could feel. For a moment, no one dared to approach and inquire.
Accompanied by Liu Lao Jiu and Little Monk, Gu soared toward the palace amidst the terrified gazes of the Nine Nether Cultivators in Northern Town Pass.
It was time for them to set off.
