Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 1045: Tianmen Execution! (Major Revision)

Because they had not expected it beforehand, there were not many immortal sect and family cultivators stationed at Sunset Plain.

Although their cultivation levels were much higher than those loose cultivators, they still failed to suppress the chaos on the spot. In the end, the immortal sect and family cultivators represented by True Immortal Xuanhuo withdrew temporarily.

The whole incident only lasted half a day, yet the impact of the "Sunset Rebellion" on the cultivation world was far from simple.

This event was like a huge boulder thrown viciously into the calm lake of the cultivation world, and the ripples were spreading outward at an astonishing speed.

As time passed, more and more regions and more and more cultivators were affected.

Its scope was so vast that it almost reached every corner of the Tian Nan cultivation world.

During that battle at Sunset Plain, Master Guan's thunderous speech was remembered and spread by many, stirring endless private reflection among loose cultivators.

Because loose cultivators were not organized and had no one at the upper levels of the alliance looking out for them, they were indeed the ones most likely to be assigned the most dangerous and thankless tasks.

No matter when, they were always the ones being oppressed, and there was no channel for them to voice their grievances.

Internal strife among the Human Race would only let the demonic race reap the biggest benefits. Many loose cultivators could reason this out calmly.

At times like this, if things became troubled again, it was very likely to end in a lose-lose situation, something nobody wanted to see.

But should they keep letting the immortal sect and family side keep winning, or should they seize the chance to force a mutual loss?

Unfortunately, more people could not think so rationally, or rather, they did not want to think in that direction.

The war between humans and demons had been far too tragic. Up to now in all of Tian Nan, the number of loose cultivators who had died in battle had already exceeded a million. It could be said that nearly two generations of loose cultivators had been wiped out!

And the "Sunset Rebellion" just happened to provide an excuse, a legitimate excuse not to join the war.

After all, even ants cling to life.

They truly did not want to die!

That was the deeper reason.

The disparity was right there in front of everyone. After decades of war, the lower level of the cultivation world had gradually withered away.

Who could not fear death?

It was not just loose cultivators. Even sect disciples and children of families feared going to the front lines.

But at least they had their elders looking after them, ensuring their basic rights.

Unlike loose cultivators, whose compensation and subsidies and everything else were supposed to be issued but were embezzled layer by layer, leaving them with not even a single spiritual stone.

Even though the alliance reacted quickly and caught the mastermind, "Master Guan," only three years later, it still could not correct the convictions already shaken in people's hearts.

Using this as an excuse, a considerable number of loose cultivators withdrew from the war and formed all kinds of loose-cultivator organizations with different beliefs.

Although the mastermind, "Master Guan," had been captured, many loose cultivators who left the alliance because of this did not quietly settle down afterward.

Various loose-cultivator organizations sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain, making the already difficult situation in Tian Nan even worse.

Unlike the Qingyun Society, this was a contest among the upper levels of Tian Nan. The true lords already had the strength to flip the table.

Although it looked extremely risky, in truth, from the moment the joining members reached a consensus, failure had basically become unlikely.

But no matter how many loose cultivators there were, those brave enough to stand up and openly challenge the alliance were, in the end, only a small portion of cultivators.
