Chapter 571: Conversation in the Woods
The Black Dragon Mountain Range can be considered a watershed.
Based on accumulated information from past generations, there have been a significant number of individuals who crossed the first twelve blockade lines, albeit at the cost of numerous deaths.
However, starting from this point, the number of cultivators who can cross drops drastically, with almost over ninety percent unable to succeed.
In the history of the Seven Nations Alliance, only nine individuals have managed to do so.
Moreover, information beyond the Black Dragon Mountain Range is completely unobtainable, and the Tian Nan cultivation world has no way of knowing what happened to those who passed through.
The information left along the way ends here.
To attempt to cross the Black Dragon Mountain Range and gather information left by previous cultivators is almost a delusion.
According to what the Heavenly Wind Ancestor stated, the nine individuals who successfully crossed the Black Dragon Mountain Range in the alliance's history also extinguished their soul lamps one after another after a period of time.
No information came back successfully.
"In our sect's history, there has indeed been one successful crossing."
"But just seven years later, that fellow disciple's soul lamp was extinguished, and no news came out."
Mu Yunyan's tone was serene, carrying a sense of inexplicable complexity.
"Our sect has had no one cross."
"Our sect."
Zhuo Mengzhen and High Sword Cold spoke one after another.
"In the history of our sect, no cultivator has crossed either."
Gazing in the direction of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, Liu Yu spoke calmly.
In the five sects of the Chu State, which have accumulated thousands of years of history, only one cultivator crossed the Black Dragon Mountain Range!
The cruel reality lay before them, and it must be said that it was rather despairing.
Looking at the distant majestic mountains and the gracefully soaring demonic birds, a deep chill spread in the hearts of the five.
For a moment, all five fell into silence, unsure of what to say.
"Sigh~"
The Old Daoist of the Azure Tower sighed deeply, his usually cunning expression now one of extreme gloom.
Seeing the morale so low, Liu Yu knew he had to say something to uplift their spirits.
Otherwise, with everyone's current state, they would have already lost half the battle before even taking action.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke decisively:
"Friends, there is no need to be so discouraged. The actual situation may not be as bad as imagined."
"Although only nine have crossed in the alliance's history, the sacrifices of so many golden core cultivators are not without value."
"At the very least, they left behind some precious information that prevents us from repeating their mistakes."
"Moreover, this time's 'Chang'an Plan' has cost the alliance greatly; not only are multiple teams being dispatched simultaneously, but a detailed plan has also been formulated."
"By standing on the shoulders of our predecessors, as long as we act according to the plan and adapt to circumstances, we will surely pass safely through the Black Dragon Mountain Range!"
"Bang~"
Liu Yu struck the tree trunk with a fist, leaving a deep imprint, his tone resolute and filled with immense confidence.
Although he too felt uncertain and somewhat timid inside, why should that be written on his face?
Displaying a negative attitude would not change any facts; only by actively responding could they reverse their unfavorable situation!
Moreover, having paid such a high price, sending out nine teams and dozens of golden core cultivators, the Seven Nations Alliance could not simply be engaging in trivial matters, sending these cultivators to their deaths.
While it seemed hopeless, there was at least a glimmer of dawn that warranted this plan.
Even for a yuan ying sect, a golden core master is not someone to be easily discarded.
Not to mention, the weight of dozens of golden core masters could be imagined.
The decisive words echoed in the ears of the others, awakening the four who were gradually falling into pessimism!
