Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Chapter 504 - 286: Origins of the Three Wilderness Saints, Human-Demon Showdown

Hidden Merit Hall of Guangling Sect!

Gao Wanfu had already picked up a martial technique to read. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The person who told you these things probably didn’t carefully explain to you all the events that happened in the Wilderness after the Dao Collapse, which is why you have such doubts.

The Battle of the Fallen Saint indeed severed many legacies in the Wilderness, but in truth, only things that appeared after the Dao Collapse were severed.

During Qi Daozhen’s time, the Wilderness was one of the cultivation holy lands of this world. Although it wasn’t said that Martial Saints were as common as dogs, they were not a rare existence.

A span of ten thousand years is long, but not long enough to completely sever all Martial Saint legacies. The real reason is that after the Dao Collapse happened, there was a great migration in the Wilderness.

Those sects with Martial Saint legacies, and a large number of strong individuals from the Wilderness, all fled while the Dao Collapse Barrier had not yet formed, so the true legacies of the Wilderness were not actually severed but were moved outside before the Dao Collapse Barrier formed.

As for the martial arts in the Wilderness today, most were gradually developed by those who remained in the Wilderness after the Dao Collapse."

Wei Fan showed a look of sudden realization; he wasn’t very familiar with the Dao Collapse because after Qi Daozhen died, martial artists in the Wilderness were trapped here.

So, it turns out that one could still escape before the Dao Collapse fully formed, which explains the current state of the Wilderness.

It’s likely that when the Dao Collapse began, all who could escape from the Wilderness did, leaving little legacy behind.

"The founder of the Guangling Sect and the Saint Master of the Celestial Desolation Empire were indeed prodigious talents, managing to cultivate to Martial Saint under such circumstances!"

He was always amazed by the Demon Saint of the Profound Crane Sect, the Saint Master of the Celestial Desolation Empire, and the Martial Saint of the Guangling Sect. In ten thousand years of the Dao Collapse, only these three became Saints.

Only after he himself achieved Martial King did he realize how difficult it is to achieve Martial Saint in the Wilderness.

At that moment, the overwhelming pressure hung over his head, known only to those Martial Kings as truly terrifying.

Gao Wanfu shook his head: "On this point, you are mistaken again. The Saint Master of the Celestial Desolation Empire and the founder of Guangling Sect are indeed prodigious talents, but they did not cultivate to this level within the Wilderness."

Wei Fan paused, his eyes gleaming with insight: "They came from outside the Wilderness?"

Gao Wanfu nodded with a smile: "Yes, the three great Saint-level experts were actually not beings who grew up in the Wilderness. About seven thousand years after the Dao Collapse, they crossed the Dao Collapse Barrier and entered the Wilderness from the outside.

When they arrived here, they were already at Saint-level cultivation.

Although the cultivation environment in the Wilderness two or three thousand years ago was better than it is now, it still couldn’t possibly give birth to Martial Saint powerhouses."

So, they also came from outside. He had thought these three had truly extraordinary talents, able to become Saints under the pressure of the Dao Collapse.

Wei Fan frowned: "The three Martial Saints didn’t stay in the normal world outside but came here for something. What were they after?"

Gao Wanfu said: "It’s nothing other than Qi Daozhen’s things. Back then, after the Dao Collapse happened, the strong individuals of the Wilderness all feared being trapped here, so they all fled at the earliest opportunity.

But after all these years, no one has seen Qi Daozhen’s body, nor his grand tomb, or even his personal weapons.

If there’s anything in the Wilderness that could attract Martial Saints to enter at any cost, it would only be the treasures left by Qi Daozhen."

After a while of conversation, most of Wei Fan’s doubts were resolved.

Several hours later, he had reviewed all the martial arts, such as the Flowing Clouds and Clear Wind Step and Array Mastery, and they appeared on his panel.

Outside, the Demon Hunter Organization had not yet finished inspecting the disciples of the Guangling Sect; even though he had killed many, there were still thousands of disciples in the Guangling Sect to examine, which couldn’t be done in a short time.

The ones without issues were not troubled by the Demon Hunter Organization, while those found cultivating Demon Skill were executed on the spot.

"It’s indeed a pity this place is ruined!"

The Guangling Sect was shrouded in an array set up by a Martial Saint. The concentration of Essence Qi here was far beyond that of the outside world. Most importantly, Wei Fan, as a Martial King, genuinely felt the unusualness of the Holy Sect.

Here, the pressure felt was far less than that outside, as the Holy Array blocked much of the Dao Collapse’s suppression, easing even the Primordial Spirit significantly.

Wei Fan casually found a place to sit down and opened the panel:

[Guangling Martial Arts Manual (Uninitiated)]

[Flowing Clouds and Clear Wind Step (Uninitiated)]

...

[Ordinary Power: 610,000 years]

[Martial King’s Power: 300 years]

"First, replace the main cultivation technique with the Guangling Martial Arts Manual, then add Martial King’s Power."

Having obtained the Martial Saint Technique, he decided not to cultivate the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual anymore.

Changing cultivation techniques, adding Martial King’s Power, adding Flowing Clouds and Clear Wind Step, comprehending the Martial Saint Array...

As time passed, news of the incident at Guangling Sect began to spread in Jianghu. Although many didn’t know Murong Hua had been eliminated by Wei Fan, the fact that a large number of Demon Hunters had entered the Guangling Sect had been noticed.

A day later, the inspection of all Guangling Sect disciples was completed, and the news finally spread in Jianghu.

Wei Fan had eliminated the sect master Murong Hua of Guangling Sect and broken the grand array of Guangling Sect, wiping out the Guangling Sect singlehandedly.

As this news spread, the entire Wilderness was greatly shaken; Wei Fan had truly wiped out even the Guangling Sect.

At this point, the Desert Martial Alliance was entirely destroyed, as the sects that hadn’t previously announced their withdrawal from the Desert Martial Alliance rapidly declared their withdrawal.

Simultaneously, sects led by Xingyun Pavilion announced they would henceforth follow the dispatch of the Demon Hunter Organization, uniting the Human Race to resist the Demon Fiend.

"The old Red Sun King personally contacted Elder Gongyang, stating that from now on, he would help guard the Demon King!"

Gao Wanfu conveyed this news to Wei Fan.

After Wei Fan slaughtered Murong Hua, the Holy Master of Guangling Sect, all the Human Race Martial Kings except for the Red Sun King of the Xingyun Pavilion belonged to the Demon Hunter Organization. With the Red Sun King joining, the number of King-level experts among the Human Race now surpassed that of the demon fiends.

This did not surprise Wei Fan. He could overlook the past when the Red Sun King did not resist the demon fiends, but if at this point, the Red Sun King still wanted to stay out of the matter of resisting the demon fiends, then such a Martial King would be useless.

"What about the other sects?"

Though Wei Fan kept silent on the matter, everyone familiar with him in the Jianghu knew that what he hated most were the sects that did not resist the demon fiends. Every sect he wiped out either colluded with the demon fiends or did not resist them.

For the sects that contributed to the Human Race, he hadn’t touched a single one.

If after destroying Guangling Sect, these sects still only wanted to leech off the Human Race, he would have no choice but to deliver a deadly blow.

"They all came to engage with the Demon Hunter Organization!" Gao Wanfu displayed a look of relief, as the power of the Demon Suppression Bureau in various countries was growing rapidly.

Wei Fan nodded, "Have the Hall Master organize the forces, prepare, and initiate the final battle when ready!"

He and Gao Wanfu had already discussed that once the armed forces of the Human Race countries had gathered, they would eliminate the Profound Crane Sect and sweep away all the demon fiends in the wilderness. Now, they were just waiting for Elder Gongyang to coordinate the mobilization with various countries.

He had the ability to break through the Holy Sect and slay the Holy Master wielding holy soldiers, and no longer needed to fear the demon fiends.

Gao Wanfu nodded, "I just finished discussing with him. Once the power of various major sects is absorbed, then we can launch the final battle."

As they spoke, the face of this Human Race Martial King was flushed with excitement, never having imagined a day when the Desert Human Race could sweep away all demon fiends.

Wei Fan resumed his cultivation, quietly waiting for Elder Gongyang to coordinate the forces with various countries.

...

"He destroyed the Guangling Sect, how did he do it? Did the Guangling Sect’s Holy Master not have time to use the holy weapon before being killed, or did the Guangling Sect no longer possess a holy weapon?"

Feng Hua’s face was full of shock.

The Holy Master of the Holy Sect was so easy to kill, that when she entered the wilderness, she went to subjugate the Holy Master of the Profound Crane Sect herself.

Even a Martial King wielding a holy weapon, no matter how strong at the Ninth Layer of a Martial King, could not contend, unless they also had a holy weapon.

She hadn’t expected that after just a few days, upon her return, she would hear news of Wei Fan breaking through the Guangling Sect.

"No, I need to find him, because there are already powerful outsiders arriving, and with him being so high-profile, it’s only a matter of time before something happens!"

Feeling uneasy, Feng Hua rose into the sky.

...

"What a joke, a dignified Holy Sect being broken through by a single Martial King?"

"The people here probably don’t even know what a Holy Sect means!"

"If it truly was a Holy Sect, it must be quite a disgrace!"

"Listen, it’s said to be a Martial King under twenty, they think Martial Kings under twenty are as common as cabbages. Even in a typical external world, a Martial King under twenty is rare."

The powerful figures from the outside had already begun to blend into the wilderness, but they kept a low profile. Upon hearing that a Martial King had broken through the Holy Sect, these outsiders could not help but scorn.

The so-called Holy Sect seemed to be overestimated.

Outside the Profound Crane Sect, the Holy Master of the Profound Crane Sect held the Dragon Embossed Gilded Bottle, a holy weapon of the Profound Crane Sect, constantly observing Wei Zhenwu in the distance.

In collaboration with Murong Hua to kill Wei Fan, he had been at loggerheads with Wei Zhenwu for days, merely waiting for a holy weapon confrontation to break out.

"Is it meaningful to bicker like this, Wei Zhenwu? Wei Fan is dead, and you should be seeking trouble with Murong Hua, not entangle yourself with this king here. The one who killed Wei Fan was your Human Race Martial King, not this king."

Initially, it was the Holy Master of the Profound Crane Sect who came to threaten Wei Zhenwu, preventing him from rescuing Wei Fan.

But what the Holy Master of the Profound Crane Sect did not expect was that when he felt Murong Hua might have already killed Wei Fan and decided to retreat, Wei Zhenwu instead refused to let him go, explicitly stating that if he dared to leave, he would trigger the holy weapon confrontation.

After days of standoff, the Holy Master of the Profound Crane Sect had lost patience.

"Who told you that Wei Fan is dead?"

Wei Zhenwu, holding the Celestial Desolate Halberd, a holy weapon of the former Saint Master of the Celestial Desolation Empire, wore a smile that was not a smile. The reason he did not allow the Holy Master of the Profound Crane Sect to leave was that he was concerned that the other would flee at the first sign of learning that Wei Fan had slain Murong Hua, making it difficult to find and kill him.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Master’s expression slightly changed, "What do you mean? Are you suggesting that Murong Hua failed to kill Wei Fan? That waste, even with a holy weapon, couldn’t kill a Martial King. Truly a disgrace to the Holy Sect."

The next moment, he suddenly felt his communication token vibrating, and hurriedly brought it out, pouring his heart spirit into it: "Holy Master, it’s not good, rumors are spreading in the Jianghu of the Human Race that Wei Fan killed Murong Hua, the Holy Master of Guangling Sect, and destroyed the Guangling Sect."

This is impossible!

The Holy Master of the Profound Crane Sect stood up in shock, What did Wei Fan use to kill Murong Hua?

But when he considered Wei Zhenwu’s words and actions over the past few days, he felt it might be true. Otherwise, given Wei Zhenwu’s personality, if Wei Fan had been killed, he would have already been wielding the holy weapon and gone to find Murong Hua.

"Tell me this is a lie!"

The Holy Master of the Profound Crane Sect felt a surge of panic. If Wei Fan could kill Murong Hua, it meant he could kill him as well, and could destroy the Profound Crane Sect.
