Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 628 - 576: Feathered Transformation Grotto Heaven

Accompanied by the crowd entering, the Void Gate emitted a crisp sound, the gate began to radiate gray and then started to close.

The passage to the Feathered Transformation Grotto Heaven has closed, requiring a hundred years to reopen.

Everyone patiently waited, awaiting the final results three months later.

Bai Yuntian asked, "Daoist Friend Ming Xi, do you think this time, with the young generation Tianjiao dispatched by various major forces in Central State to enter the Feathered Transformation Grotto Heaven and participate in the exam, they can succeed?"

Ming Xi frowned and said, "It's very difficult! Feathered Transformation Sect used to be the number one Immortal Sect, not only in Central State but also in the Purple Mansion World. Although later, it was attacked by powerful enemies and the sect was exterminated, the foundation still exists, and the arrays inside are still hard to crack!"

"This time, there are three Sacred Bodies and five Divine Bodies among the Tianjiao entering, but it's still lacking somewhat and may not meet the standards of the Feathered Transformation Sect!"

Bai Yuntian said, "The arrays of the Ninth Layer of the Feathered Transformation Grotto Heaven, and relics of the Ninth Layer, have been cracked, but the remaining one layer is difficult to crack and can only be accessed through successful exams to obtain treasures.

From seventeen hundred years until now, it has been opened as many as fifteen times, Tianjiao entering continuously to participate in the Feathered Transformation Sect exams, obtaining quite a few inheritance treasures, but most were unsuccessful. In the last five hundred years, the difficulty of the exams has been increasing, and the difficulty of obtaining some inheritance and treasures is also increasing."

Ming Xi said, "The tests set by the Feathered Transformation Sect predecessors, although dangerous, once passed, the classics and treasures obtained are numerous. Relying on the inheritance inside the Feathered Transformation Sect, in the last thousand years, the overall strength of Central State has forcibly advanced substantially!"

"Recently, the difficulty of the exams has been increasing, but if passed, the inheritance is more precious. No one is willing to violently break the array; if the inheritance is damaged, it would be unworthy of loss. Let's patiently wait!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Bai Yuntian said, "In the past, everyone also patiently waited. If the exam isn't passed this time, then wait for the next. But now, the revival of Spiritual Qi is intensifying, and absolute Tianjiao born in the neighboring lands are increasing, many old fellows are increasingly impatient, planning violent breaking of the array!"

Ming Xi sneered, and said, "Violent breaking of the array, how foolish. The remaining arrays are connected with the Feathered Transformation Grotto Heaven, if violently broken, it might lead to the total collapse of the Feathered Transformation Grotto Heaven, possibly causing countless cultivators to die within. Violently breaking the array might also cause the complete loss of Feathered Transformation Sect's inheritance, they're too foolish!"

Bai Yuntian remained silent, but still said, "Recently, some Central State giants are having meetings, discussing, some supporting violent breaking of the array, some intending to continue exams, both sides are arguing. But gradually, the side supporting violent breaking is gaining the upper hand. Because time is running out!"

"The worst result is breaking the array fails, and the relics of the Feathered Transformation Sect are lost. But this way, it can also prevent the relic from falling into certain people's hands."

Ming Xi sneered, "They are too selfish!"

Bai Yuntian sighed, "Since the revival of Spiritual Qi, some old seniors have awakened from slumber, they urgently need special means to prolong life. But the exams of the Feathered Transformation Sect are too difficult and slow, many gradually lose patience!"

Ming Xi wanted to continue speaking, but his interest waned.

In the past, these juniors, these young generation, held the clan's power, the sect's power.

But with the revival of Spiritual Qi, numerous old antiques awoke from slumber, began vying for power with the young generation, gradually those old antiques gained the upper hand.

In the development of Feathered Transformation Sect relics, two factions began to conflict,

The young generation advocates slow development, protecting the Feathered Transformation Sect relics, utilizing Tianjiao exams to continuously acquire Feathered Transformation Sect heritage; but the old antiques advocate violent exploitation of Feathered Transformation Sect relics, and as for this violent development causing the destruction of Feathered Transformation Grotto Heaven, or even loss of Feathered Transformation Sect inheritance, they do not care.

In the argument between both sides, those advocating violent mining factions gradually gained the upper hand.

...

Dsource City.

At this moment, accompanied by the crowd, numerous cultivators entering and exiting.

These crowds walked hurriedly, head down, faces carrying sorrowful expressions.

Entering the city, numerous walking crowds, there are luxurious pavilions but also various brothel women, singers, and some cultivators setting up stalls.

Looking at the surrounding crowd, most are Foundation Establishment cultivators, Purple Mansion cultivators are rare, as for Golden Core cultivators, after walking a big circle, not encountering a single one.

Lu Xuanji frowned and said, "I am very disappointed, is this really Central State? It's vastly different from what I imagined!"

"What's different, what is different?"

Jin Xi asked with a smile.

Lu Xuanji said, "In my eyes, Central State is the center of the continent, a place where talents and rich resources converge, a place of Tianjiao brilliance, experts spawn. In my view, Central State should have Golden Cores everywhere, Nascent Souls as common as dogs, only Divinity Transformations could stand."

"But after walking a round in some major cities of Central State, found here still majority are Foundation Establishment cultivators, Purple Mansion cultivators are very few, Golden Core cultivators even fewer… even not as good as our Chu Country."

Roughly taking a round in Central State, feeling very disappointed, vastly different from imagined.

Jin Xi laughed, but still patiently explained, "In Central State, talents flourish, strong abound, experts like clouds is true, but Golden Cores everywhere, Nascent Souls as common as dogs, you've thought too much."

"In Central State, wealth disparity is huge, strength disparity is huge, the strong are stronger, resources are more; the weak are weaker, resources are fewer. Without a startling encounter, the weak wanting to reverse the strong is very hard, nearly impossible.

In Central State, most resources are concentrated in the hands of Divinity Transformation cultivators, those top families, top sects.

They still use various means to exploit the lower-level cultivators. Those top cultivators, their wealth increases, resources become more concentrated, the number of Divinity Transformations, Half-Step Void Refining many."

"But lower-level cultivators, life becomes increasingly difficult, resources decrease, cultivation speed slows."

"In Central State, many lower cultivators' lives really do not compare favorably to Chu Country's lower cultivators' conditions."

Lu Xuanji said, "Since Central State's high-level cultivators exploit lower-level cultivators seriously, then why don't the lower-level cultivators leave? Go to those areas rich in resources?"

Jin Xi said, "Even if asked to leave, they really don't want to leave. Just ask, would you rather be a rich man's concubine, or a poor man's legal wife?"

Lu Xuanji was speechless.

This is human nature.

Jin Xi said, "Husband is already nearly more than two thousand years old, but still a passionate youth, this is good, but also not good!"
